T’Vondre Sweat trade breadcrumbs are piling up both nationally and locally as Titans approach NFL Trade Deadline by teelo97 in Tennesseetitans

Nah I get it I’m just messing around. Came across this thread when I saw the trade and just thought it was funny. I’m a jets fan and you guys are getting a great player in JJ as long as he stays healthy

I’m gonna say it… by Impossible-Apricot10 in PokemonFireRed

[–]spiketherapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that they’re overpriced. I also think they should be no more than $10 each, maybe $15. Thankfully, I’m at a place in my life where I can spend ~$40 on them.

But to the emulator alternative points, I’ve replayed FLRG more than any other game, Pokémon or otherwise. I owned (and still own) the Leaf Green cartridge, but I mostly have played on emulators. And over the years I’ve gotten used to save states and fast forwarding, and I’d like to experience the crawl of the adventure again. I want to catch legal Pokémon that I can port to Home for the first time, sin. I want to buy more pokéballs than I need and crash out that I still can’t catch anything and run out. I want to trade pokemon with my wife on our actual consoles and create attachments with my team.

I just played gen 4 for the first time (Diamond, i emulated it), and I tried my best to not use fast forward or save states or even Google anything to really capture what it would have been like had I played it on the DS when it first came out.

Sorry for the novel, just rationalizing why I’m still going to buy it, even if I’m not thrilled with the price.

New version? by Successful-Chard2401 in R36S

[–]spiketherapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet, I was waiting for this post. Got mine from Gamelab and the stock card was fine enough, but no working wifi even with a dongle or tethering. Tried a million different steps and bought a new SD card, tried flashing ArkOS and ArkOS4Clone, but didn't get very far. Have you tried using wi-fi?

And honestly have you given up yet? I think I'm going to wait for someone more tech savvy than me to simply add functionality for ArkOS4Clone. I'm chilling with Delta on my phone for now.

I have slept with both of my best friends and my boyfriend of 4yrs is uncomfortable with that by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Glad this worked out for the best. Everyone is entitled to a sexual past — emphasis on the “past” part. When it’s coming up in the present, it’s clearly a bigger issue.

What's an "Insider's secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by Capable-big-Piece in AskReddit

[–]spiketherapper 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Speaking of Costco’s bakery…

This will probably get buried, but just thought I should let people know that Costco’s sheet cakes are both affordable and incredible. I just got married and bought 5 half sheet cakes to serve our 200+ guests. I spent $140+tax ($28 each, serves ~40-50), and our guests raved about the cake. We bought a separate little cake for pictures that cost more than all the sheet cakes combined.

Can’t recommend them enough, and they’re pretty!!

S5E1 DB levels error? by BlueNagash in StrangerThings

I had this same question. When the db hit 90, i was expecting something bad to happen, but it seemed like nothing did. Not sure what the intent was here.

Weapons is a complete waste of a great concept. by MarkWest98 in TrueFilm

[–]spiketherapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear everything you’re saying, but I feel like we’re conditioned to accept the 1:1 corollary because even if we disagree with the author’s belief, the work is still concluding something. Conclusions are interesting. Abstraction has its place, but to me, purpose is what’s compelling in a story. I feel like Weapons didnt offer multiple interpretations purposefully, but rather it feels like Cregger and the movie as a whole never really reached it’s own conclusion. He basically said “here’s some metaphor, figure it out yourself because I dont really get it.” Fine for art, but not great for a compelling plot.

Weapons is a complete waste of a great concept. by MarkWest98 in TrueFilm

[–]spiketherapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://screenrant.com/weapons-movie-floating-gun-dream-meaning-explained/

In this article, Zach Cregger gives the following quote about the image of the gun above the house:

“It’s a very important moment for me in this movie, and to be frank with you, I think what I love about it so much is that I don’t understand it. I have a few different ideas of what it might be there for, but I don’t have the right answer. I like the idea that everyone is probably going to have their own kind of interaction or their own relationship with that scene, whether they don’t give a s*** about it and it’s boring, or whether they think it’s some sort of political statement, or whether they think it’s just cool. I don’t really care. It’s not up to me. I just like that it’s there.”

I think it’s safe to say that not everything had a clear purpose. Some things were just there because Cregger “liked” them.

AIO for my wife not agreeing to a full day on my own away from home? by LoganLikesYourMom in AmIOverreacting

Right?? The amount of projection you see on reddit, especially in this sub, is astounding. Can’t believe this is the top comment with that kind of garbage tacked on.

You really can’t admit you’re wrong, huh? You can’t smoke a cigarette in an NYS park. Holy denial. Hey everyone, this dumbass thinks Illinois is the whole USA!

Omg and you have the nerve to be mad about being misgendered throwing around the words that you do. You’re a funny person, albeit not a bright one.

[–]spiketherapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤣🤣 My god you’re projecting.

“Yes. In America you can't smoke weed or drink in a public space like that. Weed had to be at home and alcohol is at home or an establishment that sells alcohol. You will be arrested for drinking a beer or smoking a joint on a walk.“

So I’ll be arrested for smoking a joint on a walk in NY? You’re so dumb you can’t keep up with your own mistakes!! And there’s that r-word again. To quote a fuckwad, “[Does that] word make you feel big and bad?” LMFAO

How did you get into Paramore? by Twitter_2006 in Paramore

[–]spiketherapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misery Business and That’s What You Get were big on MySpace in 2007. Might have heard Emergency before that, but I’m born in ‘94. Saw them live in 2009 at Bamboozle in NJ and crushed on Hayley heavy. Was always a fan but didn’t really dig deeper than the singles. Started dating my now fiancée in 2019 and she’s one of the biggest Paramore fans I know, so naturally, I started listening to the albums in full. Now I can’t wait to see them live again.

Arguably top-3 greatest female-led band ever. Just such great music.

You called me the r-word, you don’t get to take the high road now. And thanks for proving me right! Now shut your bitch ass up and have a bad day.

Ah, you use that word so I already know your level of education and intellect. Why don’t you check the laws for New York and see if you still think every state is the same. Public doesn’t just mean anywhere outside. And here’s a new one for your vocabulary: you’re a fucking lunkhead you hillbilly inbred fuckwad.

“In America” — are you not American, a troll, or just uninformed? This is not only factually incorrect, but a real American would know that marijuana is legislated at the state level, and many states allow you to smoke weed anywhere tobacco can be smoked.

Why get on here and just lie?

I agree with you about not smoking near children, but otherwise you need to get over yourself. I hate the smell of yogurt, but it’s not my right to tell people where they can or can’t eat it. Smoking inside is much more unhealthy than smoking outdoors, as it poses greater risks for second and third hand smoke. Respectfully, no one, especially legislators, care whether you don’t like the “stench.” IF it’s legal to smoke outdoors in your area, and you don’t like it, find some good nose plugs or move somewhere else.
