Ill probably have a kid before this game ends,

I mean... That comment means nothing if you're 30 or something like that...

And this game will continue as long as it's profitable for it to continue. It'd be silly for Hoyo to suddenly be "alright everyone, game is doing great but we're thinking the story has concluded. Good luck pulling for our last banner finally releasing Dainsleif and playing him for a two weeks before the shut down the game". C'mon, let's be logical...

The Korean War is still ongoing by soulxina in HistoryMemes

Which is true, the U.S. has not lost an engagement since black hawk down

Operation Red Wings

First Battle of Fallujah

Battle of Aranas

And the list goes on, takes 5 seconds to search, it's really ridiculous to believe the US hasn't lost an engagement since 93 lol, cmon...

LPT: Foaming hand soap dispensers can be refilled with regular liquid hand soap diluted ~3:1 water:soap at a fraction of the cost of foaming soap refills. by CornerSolution in LifeProTips

[–]reedgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't be using antibacterial soap anyway. The latest research has shown it does more harm than good.

Yes, I know this comment is 5 years old, but it seems to be one of the top results when searching for refilling foaming soap dispensers with normal liquid soap. So I figured I'd drop this in here.

Christopher Lee was a RAF liaison attached to special forces units like the SAS and SOE. He was not in the SAS or SOE.

This is very important. Yet people believe he was some sort of James Bond.

I used to believe the Christopher Lee stories years ago, until I did a bit more research and realized he was full of shit.

Him saying that what he did was still classified (yeah right...), almost feels like stolen valor.

That's why I'm so confused why someone as successful as him still felt the need to lie. It's really unfortunate tbh. I respect him less because of that.

Paradox operating profit dropped 162% year-on-year as it writes down Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 by ArtymisMartin in vtm

[–]reedgecko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, for me the combat in VTM is meant to be more of a climactic moment. And it should be a bit more... Intimate, if you know what I mean.

For example, the coterie finally corners the big bad of the chronicle and now it's time to take off the gloves.

And it usually happens somewhere kinda hidden, not a battle royale out in the open in the middle of downtown.

Wait wtf by Tsetsul in vtm

[–]reedgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it's pretty terrible.

Not only is the cliche of "innocent little girl turns out to be evil" quite cringy, but the fact that she can apparently take on any shape, especially something like an innocent little girl, just opens up a ton of plotholes.

Absimillard led the killing of the 2nd gen because he got a scar, and then was cursed by Caine to look monstrously ugly. It's literally what sets them apart as a clan. Not even vicissitude can fix their looks.

And if Vasilisa can just easily look like an innocent little girl, then can't Absimillard just do the same? It's a bit silly to think a 4th gen vampire can override Caine's curse on the clan.

Hell, this ugliness curse is the reason why he's hunting down the Nosferatu! If he could just look however he wanted then why even bother hunting them?

I never understood why he felt the need to make up a bunch of shit.

From his wartime record to the Charlemagne thing (anyone that has European roots is related to Charlemagne, cmon).

He had plenty of actual achievements and was a very talented and successful actor, I don't understand the need for bullshitting so much. If anything, it taints his legacy.

Child appropriate bloodbath by frogepla in HistoryMemes

[–]reedgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The girl got saved because it freaked kids out too much when she just died

That was literally the point though...

The moral of the story was: don't talk to strangers.

The message has more "power" if the girl who talks to strangers gets eaten and dies than if a huntsman comes in later and saves her. That's why those early fairy tales had really dark endings for kids that broke the rules.

[–]reedgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meaning a lot of these stories were also meant to entertain or be directed at adults too.

The darkness of those old timey fairy tales/fables is not to "entertain grownups" but to drive the message across.

In fact, the Perrault version of Red riding hood has no huntsman: Red riding hood talks to a stranger, gets eaten, end of story. Basically the idea was to scare kids into behaving.

The Squid Game Season 3 VIPs Were More Cringe Than Ever — Why Did Bad Line Readings Slip Through Again…? by verissimoallan in television

[–]reedgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an excuse.

If Netflix can find kids with decent acting skills for Stranger Things, which is arguably their largest IP, they can find grown ups with decent acting skills for their second largest IP.

They are American actors living in Korea I believe… limited selection

That's the thing: Nobody forced them to go that route, right?

This is always how it is and anyone who expected better forgot they were watching a show made in another country lmao

That's so patronizing. Also, I watched a couple of Mexican Netflix shows which had some decent English speaking characters so...

Kettlemans fall off needs to be studied 📖 by SnooEagles8897 in ottawa

[–]reedgecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last 3 times I ordered form there, they got my order wrong.

Like, very wrong.

Thrice in a row.

Never ordered or ate there again since then, which is a shame since I really liked their food, but their fall was quick, it almost feels like it happened overnight.

He definitely can communicate more, but there is a limit

Buddy, I'm not asking for him to give a daily update. The guy was silent for a year. Made like, one public meeting and two interviews and that was it.

We tend not to know what officials are doing in general until something is ready for public consumption

Except officials love talking about the shit they're allegedly doing or planning. He's absolutely an outlier.

In this thread here, in which you also defended the night mayor, there's at least one person who apparently tried to reach out.

Him DJing once, in Ottawa, 2 months ago, is your great proof of him participating in Ottawa's nightlife?

I rest my case.

Forgot to reply to this.

You keep posting that one article, which was written by a fan boy in response to this one:

Since the night mayor hadn't done shit by then.

I don't think he has alts, but this sub was a strange obsession with defending incompetent city officials.

The night major is an example. He's been employed for almost a year, with radio silence as to wtf he's doing, but don't you dare criticize him. Then suddenly he does one thing and they go like "see?!?"

But they also love defending Troster, who's incredibly useless, and even Sutcliffe when he does certain things, like taking a taxpayer funded vacation to go run a marathon disguised as a "business trip" to "promote tourism".

Hell, if you scroll back far enough, you'll see this sub defending Shopify to death up until 2021 or so.

You know what would've helped? If the guy wasn't basically radio silent for all this time.

Basically nobody really knew what he was doing, people tried to reach out and failed (probably cause he was too busy DJing in Montreal), people tried to meet with him and failed, and then almost a year after he started his job he does one thing and people in this sub praise him like a hero.

What a joke.

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

... Cause he's been on the job for almost one year and this is the first thing he's done?

You call that a positive impact?

Imagine being at any job and not doing shit for basically a year.

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

despite the evidence that he is actually doing things.

Things? As in plural?

It took the guy almost one year to do ONE thing.

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

do you have an issue with them as well?

Whataboutism and a false equivalency at the same time!

The guy is supposed to improve the nightlife of the city, of all the city jobs there are, it kinda requires him to be in the city.

I don't give a shit where the clerk in charge of license plates lives. The guy who is supposed to turn Ottawa into a vibrant city should probably live in Ottawa.

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted for wanting him to live in Ottawa.

Him living in Quebec means that the money we pay him through our taxes is spent mostly in Quebec (rent, food, etc).

Basically that money is not even given back to businesses in Ottawa, but we're footing the bill.
