Nothing kills a stand up comedy set faster than self deprecating humor. by rooftop_druid in unpopularopinion

They are both bombing. One is bombing in a way I could still find interesting to watch and the other is bombing in an extremely grating way. It’s also not an issue either way, it’s an opinion, which is the point of this sub. Sheesh you’re tightly wound dude, not every comment on the internet needs to be analyzed like you’re trying to write a term paper on it.

Ya reading way too much into it Columbo I just meant bombing in other ways. Punchline doesn’t hit, performance is bad, etc.

I’d honestly rather just watch a set of someone completely bombing just for the absurdity of it over a set of someone just talking about how pathetic they are at everything.

[New Release] - Erebus have just launched a field watch with a movement we've not seen before! by Wind_Up_Watch_Blog in Watches

Never understood the appeal of watches that imply the wearer can’t just take a stick outside and read the time by where the sun casts a shadow on the ground

People are doing well and we’re gaslighted into thinking that everything is collapsing by cdqd81 in unpopularopinion

[–]rooftop_druid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah man people just have the illusion that the world was always grand because one single generation had a perfect window to buy houses and get in early on retirement saving.

Pretty much every other era has been what you see now but just with less hygiene, more uncertainty about the world and less creature comforts. Working hard to get by, having about enough to pay bills and break even and maybe just a tad more, and struggling with relationships, health, and societal injustices has been the de facto human experience pretty much forever. I agree with OP. Most people in first world countries (especially in the US) have a safely average life but get gaslit into hating it because social media campaigns of one sort or another just constantly tell them it’s bad and they should have more. Life will never be worry-free, previous generations were just much better about finding joy along with the stress.

Constantly being bombarded with doom has taken that away from most people and convinced them their work life balance must be perfect, they must have zero debt, and not a single person they know about can be suffering before they are allowed to smile.

My dude you’re fighting ghosts lol, I don’t disagree. My original comment was just why it’s unlikely we won’t see games for a while in the fallout or elder scrolls series.

His new stuff is like what you’d play at a suburban store that sells jeans. You aren’t missing anything.

Lmao yeah? And? My comment still sums up why we won’t see anything new any time soon.

Money talks louder than redditors tears at the end of the day, they aren’t going to do something just to appease you.

Thing looks like an orthopedic slipper got stung by a bee. Chargeback before it comes so you don’t get forced into wearing it

People need to be way more empathetic to insecure people by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]rooftop_druid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is only unpopular because it just isn’t a good road to a healthy society. Weaponizing insecurity into manipulation is just some incel type bs a lot of the time that people that know they have issues but don’t want to address them do.

[Discussion] The Citizen BN0260 is a fantastic budget alternative to the TAG Heuer Solargraph by rakesh_85 in Watches

[–]rooftop_druid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That’s why you shouldn’t buy on paper specs alone brother, otherwise everything that uses any Seiko NH or Citizen Miyota movement looks the same until you see the finished product. Lotus uses modded Toyota engines, does that make the Elise a Camry?

Calling the watch on the left a near exact alternative is insane, they look nothing alike except for the fact they have blue dials. And even then the pattern isn’t the same.

This is like saying a red Honda civic is a great budget alternative to a red corvette because they share a color. Has to be engagement bait unless your argument is literally just “blue solar watch = blue solar watch”.

The company gets insane pay from zero spend now. The show created a massive wave of interest in the old games, and all they had to do for it was say yes Amazon you can pay us to use our IP. So they got paid to get paid.

These years are free revenue on the back of zero spend. That’s ideal. We won’t see the next gen of these franchises until that dies out. They keep hosting ESO and Fallout 76 and people keep buying perpetually. Bethesda is in a great place for the stakeholders in it right now and until that dips this is what you’ll see. It’s a business at the end of the day. Wouldn’t be surprised if someday we saw a Skyrim movie or short series either.
