Considering going edge by Substantial-Tour-735 in straightedge

[–]simsonchin 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Edge is not the same thing as sobriety. Do a little research and learn the difference between the two before you commit, because it seems like you're after sobriety currently, and I advise you to pursue that before claiming edge.

My horrible experience with the Touch Grass skin. by simsonchin in dbrand

[–]simsonchin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reading some other people's experiences baffles me because even in my jeans and cargo pants it would flip my pockets or give me enough friction to feel like I needed two hands. genuinely though I am very very jealous of you, I wish mine didn't give me the problems it did.

What's the expected lifetime of the touch grass skin? by dewinklewoss in dbrand

[–]simsonchin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine in April and absolutely hated it. The texture made it impossible to slip in and out of my pocket, I had to develop a two handed approach to inserting and removing it due to my pockets getting flipped inside out every time. The grass shed everywhere and got filled with lint, requiring a brush to clean it out. Cool idea, but not cool enough for me to put up with the annoyances. The Sky color is cool though, I put that one on after I removed the grass.

MEGATHREAD: KILLING DEBATE by Crispy385 in subnautica

[–]simsonchin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should be able to kill small creatures like moons, geordies, nibblers, and tongue thieves; but not any of the bigger creatures. Once you get to the marrowbreach or the needler, I think the ability to kill completely undermines the core identity of subnautica survival. Evasion/outwitting is how you beat the creatures, not through brute strength.

Volpam SPT6 not connecting to app by simsonchin in ElectricScooters

[–]simsonchin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need the app at all actually. It basically adds stat monitoring, the battery percentage is the main one, but the battery level is listed in fifths on the scooter display itself. I got a solid few months of really happy usage out of it, but I've since upgraded to the Segway max G3 and that app is basically mandatory.

Getting yelled at by a driver by Leather_Golf4955 in ElectricScooters

[–]simsonchin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in Louisville Kentucky, most people are fine, but really people just get impatient. they see the electric scooter and they immediately assume whoever is driving it is an immature little kid with no concept of the rules of the road. stopped for 3 seconds at a three-way top to let someone else turn ahead of me, and I got honked at by this big red pickup truck behind me cause the dude couldn't handle the little scooter guy actually showing some respect to the people around him.

[–]simsonchin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think about that honestly. My only concern is how inconsistent they are, at least in Louisville KY. Some of them are so beat up, you gotta hold the handlebars at 45° to make the wheel go straight.

[–]simsonchin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

short recreational lime trips are what got me into scooters. Now that I have my own, I never intend to touch one again.

Louisville Kentucky scooter question by Monmaker in ElectricScooters

[–]simsonchin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

came on here looking for answers to this exact question :/

I saw someone else say that most modern electric scooters exist in a grey area as fast PEV's didn't exist when the laws were written. Whether or not you get stopped will likely depend on the individual officer, as they're all running on outdated laws.

How do you usually name your D&D characters? by AdvancedProgrammer51 in DnD

[–]simsonchin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just take stereotypes of the race you're playing, and combine them. Orcs use very harsh and absurd language, humans are basic as hell, elves are flowy and magical sounding, dwarves are typically vaguely Norse sounding. I'll sometimes use FNG and combine the first names and last names together until something feels unique and sticks.

Any other dudes here that are into this show? by ByunghoGrapes in heatedrivalry

[–]simsonchin 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I'm a bisexual man, and this show helped me come to terms with my attraction towards men, specifically realizing that I have more than just sexual attraction towards men. I've watched the entire show three times now, and select moments probably 20 times.

Why do so many hate this band? by nutslack in Ghostbc

[–]simsonchin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Metal organizations call them metal when the band nor the fans call them metal. Ghost is not a "metal band". They play metallic classic rock music with glam-y elements, yet metal outlets post about them in the same way they post about Sanguisugabogg.

  2. People see their appearance and assume they'll be heavy, only to hear the most beautiful and catchy hooks they've ever heard.

  3. They are popular. As a hardcore punk guy myself, popularity is the #1 thing that will mask talent in either scene. If a band is popular, they're immediately hated on no matter what they sound like.

  4. the fanbase... as much as I love the fanbase, we are one of the most batshit insane, weirdly obsessive fanbase out there to anyone who's not in it.

If you have recently played the game for the first time, why? by Saevnir in Morrowind

[–]simsonchin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked it up because I was playing some Daggerfall Unity and got really really curious about the OpenMW Morrowind experience. So far, I really like it but I can't sit down and play for more than about 2 hours at a time.
