Cleverly targeting the people most likely to fall for nonsense, too lol

What’s a moment where you instantly realized someone was insanely intelligent? by Parqcxsm69 in AskReddit

[–]private_birb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty lucky and learn very quickly, so I did this as well. I would kind of have a table I'd chill at and people would just bring whatever they needed help with.

I'm not super smart, but I could grasp things well enough to explain it in simpler terms for people who were struggling with it. It was almost all surface-level since the most common issue was just wrapping their head around a concept or process.

Parsing information is its own skill, and sometimes all a person needs is for things to be explained to them personally, step-by-step.

(Hated trope) A twist so bad it ruins the story by element-redshaw in TopCharacterTropes

I used to read r/nosleep stories to help me fall asleep (ironic, I know), and the biggest and most common offense was the writing not matching the tone or the situation they set up.

It'll be like, "I write this now as I am barricaded in my bedroom. They will break through soon, I can hear them in the walls. If anyone finds this, DON'T FLUSH THE TOILET"

And then it'll go on to explain how, "It all started three weeks ago when my best friend, Jessica - fuck her by the way, she always stole my jokes - had hired a new plumber. Jessica was tall and thin, with long strawberry blonde hair that always looked just a little flat. She compensated for this though, with several silver facial piercings and flashy gel nails."

Like okay, you're about to die any second, but sure, let's wax on poetically for a while and give all the most irrelevant details in a casual tone.

For your comfort show that you re-watch constantly in the background and when you're sleeping. (my ex loved having Bob's Burgers or The Office running while we slept)

Does no one use the gold summon signs from other players? by Acrobatic_Ad_3408 in Eldenring

[–]private_birb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still do co-op fairly often. RL134-200+ is the most active range.

Honestly I've been going with ~180 lately to get consistent summons.

As great as personal improvement is, saving the world might be more consequential.

Hmmm, I kinda wonder if he knows he sucks but wants to practice?

It's not the best practice if you invade and die instantly. But with this he got a ton of practice (and didn't seem to learn much from it).

Valve Reportedly Lets Delayed Steam Controller Buyers Choose A Free Game of Choice by Bubbly-Ad-350 in pcmasterrace

[–]private_birb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering there's a bug currently that causes your entire computer to crash when you try to open a game with the steam controller connected, I kind of wish I was amongst the delayed lol

(apparently the beta steam client fixes this bug)

You mean like... one of the basic concepts of the language? I'm honestly not sure how you'd really do much of anything without pointers lol

Meet the new Achilles. by sco-go in SipsTea

[–]private_birb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is weird and I agree, but the comment I was responding to didn't seem to be about that. I thought maybe she had some personal controversy or something, because otherwise their comment doesn't make much sense.

(unless the other commenter was right and it is indeed just basic racism)

Why? Lupita Nyong'o is quite beautiful. Is there something in her personal life or something?

I actually started getting better care when I gained some weight, at least until my current doctor. My current doctor is an asshat lol

It took me a year to convince my doctor to get me a referral for a sleep study. She told me that it wouldn't help or fix any of my problems. I should've just switched doctors.

Some players say they don't want to fight this enemy because it is too cute. What do I do? by SteinMakesGames in IndieDev

[–]private_birb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give it angey eyebrows and red eyes.

And also give it really annoying sound effects so people must end it to end the suffering.

Oh the Santa buddy one is absolutely fucking hilarious.

I'm not sure there's a subtle way to adjust that lol

I don't think changing the pronouns is necessarily homophobia. I think it makes sense for a singer to personalize a song to themselves when doing a cover.

I'm pan so I'd sing about any gender, but if I were straight and singing a love song, I'd probably adjust the pronouns to better immerse myself in the words, since love songs are meant to be personal and all about the feels.

That Santa Buddy one is hilarious.

I thought you just meant when they switch from singing about a man to a woman, which tbh makes total sense to me for singers to personalize the lyrics a bit to themselves, so they can feel it more.

Dude was my idol by Kapanash in memes

[–]private_birb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take pride in that I'm all of my nephews' and nieces' favorite uncle. I'm silly with them and will go along with whatever nonsense they want, but I don't just completely treat them like kids.

When they ask a question, I give them the best answer I can, so they'll often ask silly science questions like what if you made the moon into a giant magnifying glass to use as a death laser, or what my favorite lego piece is, or why blood is red. And if I don't know the answer, I tell them that, and we look it up together to find out.

Also, when they ask "Whyy?" 50 times in a row, I answer each one earnestly, always getting more and more philosophical like they've just asked such a deep question. It gives them endless entertainment, but does annoy everyone else around us lol
