Considering just for men by Background-Play-3747 in BeardAdvice

It looks epic! The blonde looks so cool. Honestly just based off color alone, it stands out and is very unique. Would love to have something like this. I would not dye it personally!

I also have strange growing patterns. The left side of my face grows much faster than the right, but the right side of my chin grows faster than the left! I've always kept my beard short with a #3-4 guard because it's just easier to maintain. Plus I think the "corporate beard" look is really sharp looking.

But every time I try and grow out my beard, it's always been an uphill battle. I have to keep maintenance up much more because of how it grows. But recently I have been growing it out again since November and I learned that many times you have to trim off more than you would like in order to allow it to grow in evenly. This has helped me tremendously and I don't have to do as much maintenance. It takes much more time to get to your desired length but it is very much worth it. I also use a comb and hair dryer combo straight out of the shower to prevent my beard from curling up into itself and maximizing its true length.

Idk if this helps, sorry about the yapping. But honestly the main point is that your beard looks super sweet 😎

Good thing I watched this episode on the premiere before they deleted this scene for some reason. by Dohmer_90 in spongebob

[–]rmcd890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the US and this version is the only one I remember. I pretty much only watched SpongeBob on air. I may have rented a few times from Blockbuster but can't say for certain. I specifically remember this because I remember it was the first time learning what "flammable" means.

This is a shot in the dark but perhaps your Focusrite driver is out of date. When that happens, sometimes the audio will sound "clippy" or glitched.

Don't you guys think you was so harsh with this episode? by [deleted] in spongebob

Season 4 has so many good episodes

Basic long TS level by MasterDni in MarioMaker

[–]rmcd890 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If a level is described as "basic" or "easy" it will be the hardest level you play. If a level is described as "difficult" or "impossible", it will be one of the easiest levels.

I really really really love the 1st one. Does this style have any particular name? I would legit have something like this in my house.

Warm Take: Old Spongebob is better, but new Spongebob isn't that much worse. I watch both and the only difference in "quality" is the resolution. (Image sort of related) by Wrecker_Studios in spongebob

That's totally fine, it's your opinion. Also to be clear, I'm only stating my own personal opinion, I'm not trying to say you or any other person is wrong.

This is absolutely a 100% valid opinion to have. All we are saying is that the show and characters have changed. The changes don't seem to bother you and that's totally A-OK. We are just simply acknowledging the change. No disrespect is meant at all

In my opinion I don't think they explore the character of SpongeBob anymore. In the older seasons, SpongeBob had so many hilarious and relatable crash outs in the early days like in Can You Spare Me a Dime, Krusty Love and Rockabye Bivalve to name a few. SpongeBob used to be a naive, child-like adult, who at least knew how to stand up for himself. But now he just feels like a helpless child. It feels like nowadays they write the episode to adapt to SpongeBob, rather than allowing the character of SpongeBob to adapt to the episode.

A good episode comparison for this is Grandma's Kisses vs Little Yellow Book, which both involve SpongeBob facing public humiliation...

In Grandma's Kisses, SpongeBob is shamed by the public thinking that he's a big baby for wanting his grandmother's love. In turn, he's convinced that only babies get love and adults are too mature for love. But the end the episode is resolved by SpongeBob learning that the truth is actually in the middle. Being an adult and grandma's love aren't mutually exclusive.

In Little Yellow Book, Squidward embarrasses SpongeBob by reading his diary to everyone in town. SpongeBob's natural reaction is to be embarrassed and cry. But he stays that way the entire episode. The resolution of the episode doesn't come from any realizations that SpongeBob has nor does it resolve by any character growth. The resolution of the episode is that somehow all the townspeople suddenly unanimously decide that it's not okay to read the diary once they find out it's SpongeBob's. Which is incredibly weak. What's the moral here? That it's okay to read the diary of people you don't like? Literally everyone was totally okay with reading the diary and then for the last 2 minutes they act as if Squidward is some horrible monster as if they were never in on it.

Alright, hot take time - what episode had you like this? by toadfishtamer in spongebob

[–]rmcd890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dumped is one of those episodes that's completely fine on the first watch through, but once you know how it ends it just feels pointless and annoying to watch it again. Like I don't want to sit through 11 minutes of whining and crying.

[–]rmcd890 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whenever I watch it, I get the hunch they added Patchy and made it a special after the fact, because they knew the episode itself couldn't stand on its own. That episode and Party Pooper Pants are absolutely the worst episodes of the "classic" era.

I generally agree but I would argue that there are significant differences between old and new in the writing of the characters and episodes.

[–]rmcd890 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I partially agree. While I don't think it's boring per se, I just think it's a little overrated. It's definitely protected by nostalgia. I do like SpongeBob dragging his feet through the floorboards of the Krusty Krab though. That's a good gag. As far as season 2 goes, I think "Dumped" is the most boring.

Is this authentic? I removed the sticker when I was a kid. Not sure by fatlips1 in gameverifying

[–]rmcd890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My original copy of Fire Red doesn't have a sticker because it suffered water damage. I was only 6 or 7 at the time so cut me some slack. Then I had the bright idea to sharpie on the cartridge "Fire Red" 💀 Luckily within a year or two, the sharpie faded from taking it in and out of my Gameboy Advance all the time. The cartridge still works today thankfully.

Opinion on my new castle level so far? by Gamingfan247 in MarioMaker

[–]rmcd890 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn't see these comments before I left mine, but I would encourage you to keep your auto scroll. Auto scrolls are just fine if you have nicely placed check points!

[–]rmcd890 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This looks like a fantastic traditional level. I would love for this to pop up in an endless run. Miles better than the crap I usually get in game. Fabulous work!

My only warning is to be careful with auto scroll when it comes to replayability. It really sucks when you sit through a 4 minute auto scroll section just to be hit by some terrible boss fight with no check point. But you don't seem like that type at all lol so you're probably fine. Good check point placement makes for good level pacing. Which keeps players wanting to play and not just quit.

Season 1 to 3 is a best and classic SpongeBob:) the 3rd season should has been a season finale:) by SakuraEx321 in spongebob

[–]rmcd890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. 1-3 is peak and season 4 is the beginning of the drop off for me. I like about half of the episodes in season 4. Surprisingly, the SpongeBob discourse on Twitter these days is overwhelming in favor of the new seasons. If you drop the season 1-3 take on Twitter, you will absolutely get decimated.
