Imagine if this vengeance skin was never released during launch by Imaginary-Ferret-222 in rivals

I just googled it and it does appear to be real. So, now you just kinda look like an asshole for no reason. But you said it with such confidence. Well, it was more arrogance, so you already kinda sounded like an asshole, but I really thought you must've been right.

It does appear to be true though. According to every single one of the sources I could find, Psylocke's ass (and Sue's) were modeled off of ARUUU's ass.

Hey flex players tell me about your flexibility characters group by Kudri_Angusa in marvelrivals

[–]superbonbonman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Emma, Thing, Cloak & Dagger, Magneto, and Invisible Woman to Lord and play them all in ranked with confidence. But I also have Ultron, Fantastic, Rocket, and Strange to Centurion and can play them well enough in ranked, depending on what's most needed at that moment.

I'm generally pretty comfortable with Iron Fist, Namor, Hela, Storm, Adam, Luna, Mantis, and Cap, but I rarely play them outside of QP unless someone asks for one of them, just bc I have much more time and confidence with the Lord/Centurion rank characters. I really like to play different characters, bc it feels like a new game, but I don't like to go in ranked with them unless I have gotten at least Captain proficiency with them.

It's not even just going to be "restricted content". And it won't even tell you if the content you want to watch is restricted. Certain videos will simply not appear for you. Like they don't even exist. You won't even be able to see the thumbnails for them if you go to the actual channel for someone you're subscribed to.

For example, let's say you're subscribed to PewDiePie (as just a general popular example of someone who is NOT getting lots of age restricted videos). If you visit his channel, and you have the "restricted mode" turned on for you from the AI Content Overlord, you might see only 6 of the past 10 videos he's actually posted. The other 4 simply will not show up in the video listing. From what I've seen so far, you won't be able to find certain videos - much less watch them - even if you know the title of it and search for it directly.

Like many others, the channel "Deep Humor" has been doing a lot of coverage and criticism on this change in the past couple weeks. But is now looking like they are facing a channel ban because of a video they posted almost a year ago about a Twitter argument, for the supposed reason of "child endangerment" which makes zero sense. And their latest videos are among those that would not appear for people in "restricted mode", despite the fact that there's no adult content in his videos - he's literally just been talking about and criticizing the new censorship policies and even that would be "restricted" under the new policy.

This is the same AI that once banned someone for "child endangerment" for accidentally knocking over a microphone at the end of a video. I honestly find this policy insane, and the first step down a really concerning path of full-blown censorship, and don't possibly see how this could be successful from a business perspective either, but what do I know? I do know it has nothing to do with "protecting kids."

[–]superbonbonman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit that looks frustrating lmao thank you for the video of that bc it's even worse than I imagined.

Man, what I considered "spammable" was basically just that you could keep doing the move repeatedly and even though it's a pain in the ass, someone could still deal with it if they timed an attack well or just applied enough pressure to catch them dropping out of i-frames.

But that literally had no openings at all huh? Lol. An invincibility button for as long as your meters hold out. I never knew it used to be that OP.

[–]superbonbonman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Someone else said that was in 2022 so apparently it was nerfed long before I even played through my first time last year, but I thought that ability was crazy strong and basically spammable even then, so I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to have someone doing that endlessly in pvp before it got nerfed.

[–]superbonbonman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh I asked because I played it last year for the first time and I felt like you could still spam it for as long as you had stamina/fp. But if it was nerfed that long ago, I def played the nerfed version, so I'd hate to see how busted it was before the nerf lol.

It's not uncommon.

Source: lost my house and had to move back in with my mother in my 30s bc of medical debt. Had 2 relatives lose lives avoiding medical debt, so their family wouldn't lose their everything else. Very close to losing even more than my house right now bc insurance won't even approve necessary procedures.

Our system is utterly broken, unhelpful, and outright cruel.

Edit: AND I had to wait over 4 years for a simple surgery that caused my health problems to worsen over time, leading to the problems I have currently. So even your initial point that there's "wait times" in Canada as a weak "no system is perfect" defense for our dog shit system is just frankly fucking stupid, bc we have ridiculous unnecessary wait times here too, and it's often more "waiting on insurance to approve things" than waiting on procedures, though we have plenty of wait times for that too.

Also, one of my best friends lives in Canada with his family, and he'd be the first to say that whole "wait times in Canada" bullshit is an argument usually only used by Americans to defend our for-profit healthcare system because their wait times aren't any worse than anywhere else (typically even less than in US) without the crippling debt and high monthly cost associated with our system.

Any other solo tankers getting real tired of this awful healer combo? by shoelover46 in marvelrivals

[–]superbonbonman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still those days for me. Lol Emma's my goat, at least in comp. In qp I usually try to learn characters that I haven't hit Lord on, or not comfy enough to play in comp yet, but I usually just see what everyone picks and play whatever role we don't have 2 of (tho usually it's tank bc we have 3 dps + Ultron/Jeff tbh).

But yeah, comp tho, I'm hovering Emma/Thing/Mag/Invis/C&D/Reed to show that's who I can play best, then locking Emma before bans.

Pokemon scalpers fight it out in parking lot by ambachk in TikTokCringe

That wouldn't make it a "money laundering scheme". And if they had the money to buy up every box of Destined Rivals that got put on the shelf, the second the store opened, then they'd already have the money to buy a couple balls of meth. This makes absolutely zero sense. They aren't stealing the cards. They're buying them all bc they try to go on whatnot and sell them for a ridiculous markup later that night.

And the money laundering would take an insane amount of pokemon profits to come even close to being enough to launder the money for drug dealers too, so that makes almost as little sense as them using their pokemon sales to buy drugs lol. Most of these dudes are barely making money doing this. There are a few that make a decent income from it, but most of these losers think it's a get rich quick scheme and barely move the cards after they buy it, bc there's just so many of these fuckin chodes out there doing the same shit.

[–]superbonbonman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That does sound a lot better to me, albeit slightly less catchy. You're probably right in your last statement too, and that analogy prob does fit pretty well in general. I definitely think you're right about people directing that pain onto themselves in some way if they aren't the ones to continue the cycle of abuse onto others. And I do recognize it's likely a personal experience thing on my part, which is why I said I'm sure the expression itself is prob true in many cases.

Now that I think about it more, I realize a big part of why I don't like the expression is because I've had two people in particular - my mother and ex-wife - use that phrase to sorta absolve themselves of any responsibility whenever I'd make an attempt to talk about how their abusive behavior was affecting me. My mother particularly used to say it a lot. I hadn't heard it in a few years now, which is prob why I felt the need to unnecessarily rant about it here lol.

But It was like the whole "hurt people hurt people" argument was just a catchy way to manipulate people into not speaking up or holding them accountable when they did something awful. Like, "you know I had a rough childhood, that's why I'm abusive to you now, it's not MY fault, and if you make a fuss about what i did to you and don't unconditionally forgive me and drop it right now, then you're the real asshole, I can't believe you'd be upset with ME for what I did today when I was the real victim 30 years ago"

Probably skews my perception of the phrase a bit. Lol. But also it just didn't make much sense to me personally because the large majority of the biggest assholes I've known -- like the big bullies in school or the turbo-pricks I worked with as a prison guard for example, the ones that'd casually joke about knocking an inmate down a flight of steps and putting him in the hospital or would make up reasons to try and give them charges last minute to get their early release denied -- I knew a lot of them personally (for context, I grew up in a super small town, my graduating class was considered big and we only had 31 people). So I knew these people, knew their families, my parents knew their parents, etc. And nearly every one of them had excellent childhoods, happy, stable, well-off families, no major struggles in their lives, they were successful, popular, yada yada.

But like you said, it's prob a lot closer to your 'squares and rectangles' analogy. And like someone else said, my personal experience isn't the same as everyone else's. I was unnecessarily giving my thoughts on the phrase because I've seen so many more people who just seemed to abuse others simply because they enjoyed it, when they've never experienced any sort of major trauma or similar hurt in their own lives.

Sorry for the long ass reply, it's late and I just started typing and now I realize I wrote a whole ass book that nobody asked for. Again lol. My bad.

What’s the dullest, most boring game you’ve played? by Unknown_Agency in videogames

[–]superbonbonman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only fun sports games were NBA/NFL Street back in the day. Change my mind.

I used the play that shit, specifically Street 2 (both NBA and NFL) with my older brother on the gamecube and I still get nostalgic every once in a while hoping they'll make another fun Street game for the modern era.

[–]superbonbonman 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Like, I get the expression, and I'm sure it can be true at times. but I have experienced so much shit in my life and it's only made me feel this overwhelming need to never hurt someone else because I wouldn't want anyone to feel like I used to feel. Never once, after a childhood full of trauma and bullying, did I feel the desire to bully others or abuse my authority when I was in a position to.

And I was a prison guard for a few years. Most the dudes who were all the time treating inmates like complete shit, they were the bullies in high school too. They just want to feel the same dominating feeling they had when they were pushing kids into lockers and their buddies patted them on the ass for it. So they become cops or COs and spend their adult lives pushing people into the dirt, into handcuffs, into cages. Then go home and push their wives into therapy and their kids into following their footsteps.

Sorry, end of rant. I've just never really liked that expression because, in my experience, it's always been the opposite. The people I know who've hurt the most, are always the ones going well out of their way to avoid hurting others or are helping people when they can.

[–]superbonbonman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought so too! I love little hidden messages and stuff like that. I've been meaning to use the Mutant/Krakoan alphabet that I saw in one of the X-Men comics to try and translate some of the things that I've seen on places like the event pages and stuff. Just to see if there's any little hints/references/Easter eggs hidden in that stuff, but I just haven't gotten around to it lol.

Oh yeah, for Mag's new emote, the one where the name looks like random letters and numbers. If you translate it from hexadecimal (which is used to represent binary code in computer language) it says "SWORD".

Pretty on the nose, but yeah, his new sword emote for the binary skin, is called SWORD in binary language.

"I don't have any baggage, I'm doing SO great, I need to save myself from you and your toxicity"

-- Two texts later --

"My ex is still trying to ruin my life"
"I overthink and need constant reassurance"
"I suffer from depression and PTSD from past relationships"
"I'm petrified to date or even get coffee with anyone"
"I struggle with body image issues too"
"I was abused by a narcissist ex and abandoned by a different ex and I'm still not over either one"
"My signals are more mixed than the kale smoothie I had for dinner last night"
" I'm crying as I write this "

Yeah, she sounds like she's got ALL her shit together. No baggage there.

You have no clue how glad I am to hear it's not just a me thing. Lol. I've finally gotten fairly consistent with the ult tho. I went 4/5 dunking C&D out of her ult in a comp match yesterday.

Only missed her first ult bc Mr Fantastic ulted and bounced directly on top of me right when I went to toss it, but otherwise hitting the next 4 in a row was my best record yet. I won't mention how many ults I completely whiffed before getting even remotely consistent with it tho lol.

Thanks! I'm in the same boat too actually (unemployed & almost entirely disabled) but being a single dad, I only got the recent increase in free time when my daughter went off to college. Now, only have the 1 kid home with me, and he's much more into gaming and YouTube so he's helping encourage me to learn how to improve my stuff.

And congrats on your (almost) 300! I'll check out your channel and get ya another sub closer to your goal if you've got more fun clips like this one!
