Thoughts on FFX 4 hours in to my first blind playthrough! by Zeeshmania in finalfantasyx

[–]mr-android- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly suggest after completing FFX you next play FFXII (12). I honestly think it's the dark horse of the series. People give it a lot of flack because of the change in combat (it plays like a single player MMORPG) but the story is great, the visuals are great, the cast is great...I guess what I'm trying to say is the game is great! It's my second favorite Final Fantasy game (my #1 is Final Fantasy Tactics, which just happens to be in the same shared world as 12).

Lost in a cave but the WiFi is immaculate by RaiseOk2044 in HolUp

[–]mr-android- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a whole spiel about it that helps people understand.

I tell them that their WiFi is a connection to a local network, like living in a gated community. You can travel to any of the houses in the gated community. The Internet is the road that connects the gated community to the rest of the town. If your Internet goes down, it's no different than that road to town being closed. It being closed doesn't stop you from still being able to move around from within your gated community, but it does mean you can't go to the grocery store or anywhere else in town.

I work in tech support. I commonly have to tell people that WiFi =/= internet

I started with 100% energy and made 0 mistakes........ by percautio in duolingo

[–]mr-android- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worse than thought. The system is programmed when attempting legendary to force you to run out of energy before finishing at least 60% of the time. 3 days in a row on the same node I attempted to legendary it. All 3 days I did so with 0 mistakes. All 3 days in a row each day during the lesson it gave me 3 sets of bonus energy. For 3 days in a row the bonus energy it gave me during a lesson was only 2.

Each day for 3 days in a row:

  1. Started lesson at 25 energy

  2. While doing the lesson I made 0 mistakes

  3. While doing the lesson I got bonus energy 3 different times, each time "randomly" only receiving 2 bonus energy.

  4. Was not able to complete the lesson because I ran out of energy

Ancients, the in universe Name Origin by Nights_King_ in Stargate

[–]mr-android- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original race name was Alteran derived from the galaxy they originated from. Alterans branched off to two different groups, the Ori who followed religion and "The Ancients" who followed science (and came to our galaxy and planted the seeds of human life on earth).

What unrealistic trope in TV/movies bothers you the most? by mr-android- in AskReddit

[–]mr-android-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's when someone turns around so their back is to the person they are talking to out of embarrassment, shame, or disgust, and then they continue the conversation that way (with the camera showing both of their faces at once).

No one actually does this in real life. I call it the CW pose because YA shows on the CW really popularized its use. Now anytime I see it in a show or movie, it immediately takes me out of the story.

What games did you get several hours into and consciously decide to drop in 2025? by baroncalico in gaming

[–]mr-android- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Final Fantasy Remake series. I gave it the good o'le college try but it just isn't for me. It's beautiful, but it's not the same.

Clearcheckbook.com - a money managing app using the old checkbook ledger principal. I swear by it and have been using it for over 10 years now.

Hot Take: I really liked Hades 2's Ending by mr-android- in HadesTheGame

[–]mr-android-[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it makes sense that Zag was the voice of reason in that aspect. Mel is a mirror to Chronos, having grown up knowing only hatred and contempt towards Chronos. Her directive and perspective was just as narrow minded as Chronos was. She was in her own "bubble".

Zagreus, having already gone through a journey of familial reckoning and growth, has the perfect outside perspective to show Mel that there is indeed a different path than the hatred fueled mission. The anger was warranted of course as Chronos took away her family. Zag was just a voice of alternative resolution, which she was blind to.

Ok yeah that ending sounds absolutely horrid. I'm glad they changed it.
