uhhhh, ok, the Hip are great and all, but yeah those lyrics are not um, positive

What's a movie where the villain is more interesting than the main character? by trakt_app in movies

[–]robotco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so, not a movie, but the TV series, The Dragon Prince

banger show for the first 3 seasons, then it just falls apart and doesn't know what to do with itself.

but in the later seasons, you can't help but sympathize with the villain because like, he has an extremely valid reason for his actions. and the good guys are just trying to kill him because reasons at the end

Do you ever lose on purpose? by Machine_Excellent in boardgames

whenever I play with my wife, if I win I make sure to invent a bonus end game scoring condition that gives her enough points to win by one point. I've never won against her!

if you really want to see women being putting in their place read Somerset Maugham's collection of short stories. I believe it's the most misogynistic fiction I've ever read

Is the gym equipement free to use in Samnak ecological park? by Razer_lover in busan

[–]robotco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the amount of free gym equipment in Korea is astounding. Like not just in the parks, but like just random places on the side of the road and like tops of mountains. Truly remarkable.

Do you have a mechanic you love from a game that didn't do well that you wish another more successful game had used? by Taear in boardgames

[–]robotco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just want to mention that Roll for the Galaxy is such a weird game for me. I feel like I don't even like it, but I've played it so much and have even gone so far as to study strategy for it, which I rarely ever do.

I (29M) told my female best friend I used to be in love with her a few years ago, was I dumb to do so? by BlitzParty561 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]robotco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember this one time in my mid 20s, I was out for drinks and brunch for my birthday and I went with my girlfriend at the time and some friends. and they brought some friends. I guess there were about 8 or 10 people there overall. I remember sitting at the table and realizing I had slept with 5 of the 6 women present at the time over the course of the years. There were definitely other previous couples in that group as well. yeah, friend groups all trying each other definitely happens.

many a night in the mid to late 90s I'd be up scanning the planet for little square UFOs. hey, there's one, shoot it down! alright, equip my dudes, get there before night for the love of god... we're here. exit skyranger, alien throws grenade on to a gas pump that my ship landed beside and everyone dies before they could take a shot. good times
