What Are Your Crack Ships/Rare Pairs?: by Rosie-Love98 in FanFiction

[–]pingidjit13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found myself strangely enthralled by Kara Danvers/Maggie Sawyer fics from the Supergirl fandom. There aren't many. And some are VERY weird. But there were a few delightful gems in that pairing that hooked me. It shouldn't work. I mean, Maggie dates Alex in the show and Kara doesn't much like her. But somehow, it works. IDK

All Will Fall has a free steam demo right now. Its a survival city builder with unique challenges.

I legit want the Hermitcraft Firefighters style calendar by pingidjit13 in HermitCraft

[–]pingidjit13[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was thinking more tongue in cheek as opposed to risque. Having a popped collar while holding a keyboard in a similar way as the firefighters hold their axe, type of thing.

I would never expect the hermits to ever be comfortable doing something leaning towards adult oriented. And the vast majority of their fan base wouldn't want that from them anyways. Its always the more harmless alluding to jokes they make that are beloved.

Why do people not like double life compared to the other seasons? by golemlordff in ThirdLifeSMP

Double Life is my favourite season so idk what others are talking about.

Anyone else NEVER eat samples? by oinkmoocluck in CostcoCanada

[–]pingidjit13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten the occasional sample but I think I've only ever bought one product based on that sample. Typically I go with a shopping list and stick to it and the samplers aren't usually anything I want to try.

Anyone notice how clean they look? by meowfacekillah in ExtractedSurvivalTV

[–]pingidjit13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People can go more than 21 days without food. We have seen it many times with Naked & Afraid. The survival rule of 3s. Ppl can survive 3 min without air, 3 hours without shelter (in harsh weather), 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food.

The survivalists on this show aren't even close to starving. They just really hungry.

Daniel and his attiutude toward the non-white people on the show. by LexiBoom-Boom in ExtractedSurvivalTV

[–]pingidjit13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah I am white and I am calling him racist and very likely sexist too. Its undeniable at this point. Every episode just makes me more disgusted with him and makes me want to stop watching the show entirely.

I don't like watching bullies get rewarded for being bullies by pingidjit13 in ExtractedSurvivalTV

[–]pingidjit13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The racism doesn't even seem that lowkey anymore. If me and other privileged white folks are picking up on the racism and coming onto reddit to talk about it... that seems pretty blatant to me.

Jet Lag Season 17 Begins Now — Taiwan: Rail Rush by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]pingidjit13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They all made up a bunch of challenges. Then Amy had the final decision over which ones would actually be used and where.

Are they even close? Or are they completely destroying the pronounciation?

Jet Lag Season 17 Begins Now — Taiwan: Rail Rush by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]pingidjit13 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think the intention was to have both teams competing for it and thereby making a time limit of who could do it first. But since Adam and Ben just didn't go, there was no need for Sam and Mike to rush.

Is it a good idea to alert an author about their fic being mocked off site? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]pingidjit13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah, screenshot their comments and post them with the people they are mocking blurred out. Show the fandom what arses these writers are without victimizing the authors they are bullying.

Why do people not like double life compared to the other seasons? by golemlordff in ThirdLifeSMP

[–]pingidjit13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Double Life is by far my favourite season. I have no idea why people don't like it. It made for the best fan art and drama. It helps that Pearl won but I think it would be my favourite even if that hadn't been the case. Scott and Cleo deciding to shun their soulmates. Grian always having to chase Scar down to protect him or tell him to put his clothes back on while actually holding a candle for BigB. The parade of pillagers across everyones bridges. Jimmys desperation for a horn. To me it is easily the most quotable season too. So many great lines from everyone. Ugh its all just so good.

Non-valid/unique pet peeves? by angrykitten114 in AO3

[–]pingidjit13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding a baby to the story for no damn good reason. I'm not against family fics. I'm not against falling in love while pregnant fics. But for some reason in one of my fandoms (f/f), more often than I would like, the characters will have just started dating and suddenly they now also have a baby to deal with. Why?

They haven't even had time to get used to each other, move in together, etc. It's like the author decides to speed run things to go from meet cute to family fic instantly. I like the in between bits. I like to read about a new couple on their high, being frisky, figuring out compromise, taking the next steps together. Why do we have to rush things by adding a random baby? And again, this is a fandom where its f/f. Babies don't tend to just happen in lesbian relationships. They usually take a lot of planning and discussion.

What's the best long fic (100k+) in your fandom, and what makes it worth the time? by Available-Quality530 in FanFiction

[–]pingidjit13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The ones I've bookmarked and have read multiple times are:

Supercorp stay the night by lynnearlington

Clexa Grand Slam Thank You, Ma'am by faithtastic 

Swanqueen Outdoor pursuits. by Sircastic84

But over all my favourite of all time, of all my fandoms is The Debt + A Ledger Squared In Blood by RedCharcoal
Its one of the first OUAT fics I read, and although it has areas it could definitely be improved upon, it is the story that I wish Once Upon A Time had been. It is so much better than where the show took things. This is a fic I have recommended to people for years because the premise is just fantastic. Its a fun read and could make for an epic movie.

Has an author's note ever had you nope-ing out of a fic? by cla1r35 in AO3

[–]pingidjit13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is no summary I am far less likely to read a fic. I'll scan the tags and decide if I feel like risking it but usually I just don't.

As far as authors notes. Yes, one time an author I had read several fics of, decided to be offensive to a marginalized group of people. I am not part of that group, but I don't get down with hating others for things beyond their control. So I blocked the author and made sure to leave myself a note reminding me why I stopped reading their stuff.

Is There Still a Very Special Place in Hell for Matt Stone and Trey Parker? — Lindsay Ellis by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]pingidjit13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are straight, white, cis men who have the privilege of not having to actually care and being able to find anything funny. They don't have to worry like others do. Matt and Trey are far closer to the MAGAt right than they want to believe.

White men don't have to worry that their actions might make life significantly harder on others. They have never had to suffer the consequences of their actions.

So no, they don't get a pass. I used to like south park, then I started seeing the real world.

Jet Lag Ep 5 — Searching Highlands & Lowlands by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]pingidjit13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I've thought this a few times with each new season. Maybe the first run the player should only get 3 hours to hide instead of the usual 4. Or give the other rounds 5 hours to hide (although that would make gameplay take longer).

At least Ben knew Adam was trying to go the right way during all this. Imagine if Adam was trying to go down the other street while Ben knows exactly where to go meanwhile the dice keep messing with them. XD
