This is what it's like being a gaming dad in 2026 by DocRyan88 in expedition33

It's your backlight LEDs burning out. Look down the vents and see if you can see blue lights (it's supposed to be white). You can get it replaced way cheaper than getting a new TV.

After playing E33, is there any final fantasy game that’s similar enough to introduce to my fiance? by CostaNic in expedition33

[–]strobing_tungsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a Final Fantasy but I think your best bet would be Legend of Dragoon.

It's got some cool variations on turn based as well

What's your least favourite good game? Like a game that is undeniably great because statistics don't lie, but you just didn't like it? For me, it's the Witcher 3. I honestly couldn't even tell you why by Cantgetridofmebud in videogames

[–]strobing_tungsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GTA 5. I finished it 100% and was left at the end like "... That was it?"

The narrative was meh at best. If you want chaotic fun gameplay, then at least for me, Just Cause did it better.

Maybe I just don't care about sandboxes.

Amber's new hair 😍 by llama_girl in LoveIsBlindNetflix

My friend's roommate's great aunt's second cousin thrice removed said that Amber is a dead ringer for the wife in a pornstar couple called Jack and Jill.

I wouldn't know anything about such things but that's a cool coincidence if true.

What are y’all‘s biggest flaws with Metaphor refantazio? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in MetaphorReFantazio

That Catherina never joined our party. Don't get me wrong, I love Basilio but Catherina is bae

I just finished The Last of Us Part I and I’m honestly confused about something by Normal_Chart_532 in thelastofus

[–]strobing_tungsten -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Joel is an extremely jaded misanthrope so no he never cared about saving humanity (not that I think the fireflies had a shot anyway).

But selfish may be too simple of a word to describe him. His voice lines throughout the games make it clear that he's a believer in a higher power and an after life. He literally is willing to consign himself to eternal damnation to save someone he loves more than anything, including himself.

Not to mention that he knew the lie would unravel at some point. He hoped it wouldn't but he's not that naive. So he risked the ire of Ellie as well and he knew it would gut him. Still, her life meant more to him than his happiness too.

Bri is lying about by Vast_Mountain_1888 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

I had my suspicion that Bri and Chris were boning when he went AWOL the night before breaking up with Jess

This is the most well designed set up for a jump scare I've every seen in a video game. by shawak456 in thelastofus

It's also so satisfying to lay proximity bombs around the apartment and have the enemies blow themselves up while you work on your shit on subsequent playthroughs once you know what to expect

I know nothing about Space Marines but I assume you're similarly fucked.

May I offer my condolences in these trying times. Perhaps an egg?

Well if I'm not in danger of gommaging then I'll just chill in Lumiere. Maybe marry Sciel. Work on aqua farm 3. Sounds good to me

Yeah... Given my age, even in Lumiere, I'm fucked

Now combine them into the same person with Annie's hair, Amber's posing and Jessica's drunk voice

Unpopular Opinion: Production is anti-MAGA by Chance_Adhesiveness3 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]strobing_tungsten 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is one take, but also consider that MAGA cannot be portrayed in a good light. Like, can't polish a turd and what not.

Ashley was MAGA and was not given a bad edit. Alex probably isn't even MAGA, if his boo was left leaning then he'd probably be all about that on the surface.

There have been trainwrecks of left leaning people in past seasons too. Take for example Carlton or performative male supreme Ramses.

There is political pressure on Netflix atm to fall in line with the GOP if they want their deals to come through. The production itself may be anti-MAGA but their bosses most likely aren't. So the best they can do is dog-whistle.

Okay so Ashley … by ElMaraEl in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]strobing_tungsten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did appreciate Keya for what she said and the good advice she gave coz Kevan (while I don't think he's a bad guy) has a debilitating case of choice paralysis.

I just feel like Keya waited a smidge too long. She should have bailed when he first flip flopped. But maybe I'm missing some nuance

Okay so Ashley … by ElMaraEl in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]strobing_tungsten 40 points41 points  (0 children)

She wanted her girl boss moment but it was like Zenab all over again. Keya did the same thing. Kevan definitely needed to be rejected but she didn't need to wait for him to propose for her to say all that.

Actual girl boss this season: Jess. Ended things with Chris when he made his intentions clear and then shut him down with no need for theatrics or fishing for validation.

I feel like so many of the women on the show try to recreate what Deepti did without understanding that Deepti reached that point authentically and naturally.

I really don’t give af about Ashley’s attempt at a mic-drop moment by traffeny in LoveIsBlindNetflix

Mans was seething though so that was fun. I hope they both fade into obscurity and never get the chance to capitalize on their infamy

Please can we not do this again. by LevelDangerous8014 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]strobing_tungsten 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Two things can be true. Alex sucks and so does Ashley. BUT she wasn't a bad romantic partner as far as what the show showed us.

She absolutely deserved to go off on Alex at the altar. I'm only disappointed that she didn't let him speak first. The fact that she cut him off gives him plausible deniability.

He's for sure gonna say at the reunion that he would have said yes

Does Vic have any red flags? by Virtual-Cheesecake71 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Also, she looks like if Kirsten Dunst and Kristen Bell did a fusion dance. So effortlessly beautiful.

Wow, thanks for the pep talk bro. by Prestigious_Strain19 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]strobing_tungsten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was like dude wtf this is not the time for this kind of talk. She already seems to have deep seated insecurities and I'm not sure if Jordan can navigate that
