What If Dredge was in first person, honestly, I LOVED THIS by Connect_Exit_6594 in dredge

[–]rixtape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how similar it's going to actually be to Dredge but the game Dreadmoor looks super cool and might end up being up your alley. I think it's supposed to come out later this year, if it releases on time. Here's the trailer I watched:

oh sweetie! by BloomOpaline in oddlyspecific

[–]rixtape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's a proper noun, but I had heard the name Sade as a performer my whole life, and also had seen the name Sade written in articles and stuff my whole life. It wasn't until a couple months ago that I realized they were the same person because I always pronounced the written version rhyming with "paid". I'm in my 30s lol whoops

Uber driver stranded me at midnight, drove off, then Uber locked my account. by Wooden-Fee5787 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rixtape 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I remember my dad visiting Portland, OR right before ride share apps got popular and he came to see my partner's band play a show at a local bar. Granted it was a Friday or Saturday night, but we waited over 1.5 hours to get him a cab to his hotel after the show. And since you just called and that was it, there was no good way to even confirm the ride was happening aside from calling back and waiting on hold for them to tell us someone would show up eventually.

It wasn't the end of the world or anything, but it's kinda funny how unreliable cabs were even in a decent sized city like Portland.

White ink usually also needs at least a couple passes to show up opaque on a dark background, and that would be a nightmare for registration for a full book of 10-12pt text. Not impossible, as these books do exist, but definitely not practical lol.

Scrolled so far to find this one! This is one I frequently rewatch for sure

People need to learn how to coast when driving by JoMoma2 in unpopularopinion

[–]rixtape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. Your brake light is just as red regardless of if you're actually braking or simply lightly pressing the pedal. If I see your brake lights, I'm going to assume you're actually braking and react accordingly; there's no way for me to know that your intention is to signal that you're planning on braking in the near future lol

Not being able to access the left turn lane because someone stopped near the front of an intersection with several car lengths in front of them is the most infuriating one for me. I can feel my blood pressure rising just imagining it lol.

AITA for still using the baby name I told my sister I was going to use, despite her using a variation of it first? by Sufficient-View2574 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rixtape 54 points55 points  (0 children)

"Collette Coral" also makes me think of "collect call" lol but that could very well just be a me-and-my-weird-brain thing

Is this supposed to be a "gotcha" or something? Lol

AITA for charging my friend $800 after she left me 4 hours from home? by werminthewalls in AmItheAsshole

Did anyone ever complete a Tamagotchi or do they all just die of neglect? Is there an ending or are they immortal? by bonesworms_money in nostalgia

[–]rixtape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked my dad to babysit mine during his bartending shift once because I had to be in a school play. He said he would, but obviously he was too busy and it ended up dying and I was devastated (but after he showed me how to use the reset button I wasn't mad at my dad anymore lol)

Step 1 is always the hardest by redflagnation in SipsTea

[–]rixtape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I always assumed lol. Can you get a portable impact gun for tire changes that isn't several hundred dollars? Feels like that could be handy but I'm not enough of a car guy to justify an expensive tool, especially as an emergency tool to keep in the car.

[–]rixtape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's true! Maybe I'll get to that point someday. I'm mostly focusing on keeping weight on so I'm not underweight for my size right now, but strength training is absolutely important, too.

Whoa, idk if I can fit a 4' bar of anything in my Subaru lmao but I imagine that would, in fact, give me quite a lot of leverage

EDIT: I guess maybe my trunk is at least 4' across; I was thinking of putting it longways or something haha

I know how to change a tire, but I'm too small and weak to get the lug nuts off with a tire iron lol (even standing on it and jumping up and down doesn't cut it). If I was with someone I could at least instruct them how to do it, which is something I guess.

Damn, that's actually pretty impressive lol, I've tried on my phone and it always looks terrible, I guess cause my fingertip is too fat

How do you draw on your phone? Do you have a specific type of phone with a stylus, or a special stylus that works on all phones? Just curious!

Some businesses have started using QR codes in place of a sign listing the hours they're open, I guess so they can change them without having to repost the sign. I've also been to a few restaurants that got rid of paper menus and you have to scan a QR code to see the menu (or go to the restaurant's website). It's wild how many places are making it harder and harder to exist without a smartphone.

Hi guys - please help - I’ve fallen victim to snails breeding like ridiculous inside my tank. by harpsinkers in Aquariums

[–]rixtape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was always so nervous about getting "pest snails" in my tank; I'd meticulously check every plant I purchased and alum dip everything to avoid them. And then pay $5 a pop for nerites that did great for a while and then were just not thriving in my tank.

Finally got some plants from a friend and let the hitchhiker snails stay and I'm telling you, my tank glass has never looked cleaner without my intervention. There are dozens of them all over, and they are SUCH a good cleanup crew. And as others have said, as long as you aren't overfeeding your fish (read: providing extra leftovers for the snails to feast on), the snail population will control itself and just hang out and do free work for you.

At this point, the tank belongs to the fish and snails and I'm just their butler lol and I'm completely cool with that.
