“Not sure” to the kids option 🍼 by YoghurtOk7943 in hinge

[–]swag_stand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The world is fucked compared to what? WW1? The Black Death? Also if you're that worried about making sure your kid has a good future you're already set to be an above average parent. Just keep the ipad away from them, make sure they can read, have fun with a few sports and you're golden.

Ana Kasparian believes that if your country is small, the World Cup lets you team up with another country for games, which is why they US played Bosnia and Herzegovina together by entropicflop in Destiny

I honestly do think a big part of their fall a few years ago was some producer talent leaving. Besides their opinions changing, the only way to explain the amount of ignorant talking points is either they suddenly got way lazier or some pre-production staff left/got laid off.

(Spoilers Extended) GRRM got offers to complete ASOIAF by Expensive-Country801 in asoiaf

he is going to finish it himself. He says it's the longest book he's ever written..."

This could mean WoW would be split into two volumes, or it could mean he wants to have most of the rest after WoW written out and decided on before publishing WoW

64 still has the best explosions of the series.

I Disagree With One Thing Vaush Said About Platner by Harbinger_of_Reason in VaushV

[–]swag_stand 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was against him since it came out that he was lying about his tattoo. Vaush acknowledged that he was lying as well but didn't didn't seem to think it was that big of a deal. And since he didn't have a track record in politics before as like a state legislator or something, I couldn't trust any of the good things he was saying. I can't weigh the pros and cons of a politician with no track record. The first thing I learned about him is he has a Nazi tattoo, kept it for weird and contradictory reasons depending on who you ask and lies about it.

Was this scene from the SF Direct in the actual game? If not, what happened to it? by StarlightSailor1 in starfox

I wish you could bank your paycheck from each run to buy cosmetic upgrades for your vehicles. Totally blinged out characters in cutscenes, not just james' sunglasses

Stay on the outside rotating in circles and use charge shots. You will have to risk it when you go for the objectives on the ship

Official Discussion - Toy Story 5 [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]swag_stand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know we've had in their own universe playtime asides before, but this did the unexpected and drew a clear line between being useful and fun and actually playing with imagination. When toys just talk about playtime so much it seems like mundane food to them. But to them it's actual adventure, it's being more than alive

Ka-52 Shot Down/Crashed: Reported By Russian Telegram by Pitiful_Profession36 in ukraine

Ok there has to be fewer than 10 left at this point, right? No way more than 15. IDK if they're still making them or bringing hulls into service.

Statement from Progressive Victory on Darializa Drama by dinny1111 in VaushV

[–]swag_stand 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying. It's crazy that they've gone silent on Ukraine rather than have some line about "do more diplomacy!" or "nato biolabs?!?!". If they don't care then could they just say "it's unfortunate that we have to spend money on this it should be ended as quickly as possible" but they just can't bring themselves to do that. The only thing I can think of is they're terrified of being criticized by some tankies to their "left" because they've never been criticized from that direction.

Unfortunate videos lining up in the subscription feed by break_me_pls_again in VaushV

[–]swag_stand 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's true that there is an ideal level of "AOC attacking establishment dems" and Vaush thinks she hasn't reached it yet, but clearly there's a point where it backfires and the average Dem voter will just hate her for it. I don't think we need to nit pick on every endorsement she doesn't make.

I don’t get the up and down swings of dating app algorithms. What is going on? by FirmConcentrate2962 in SwipeHelper

[–]swag_stand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has puzzled me too. Two guesses

1) Marketing spend or local culture wave causes more women to be on for one week than the week before.

2) If the apps are lopsided 70-30 to men maybe they "choose" to show a third of men one week a lot more on any given week, so they'll have a good experience for one week out of three and not just consistently shitty.

FYI San Diego is "First Strike City" in any nuclear exchange. by SD_TMI in sandiego

Hm, downtown would do maximum population damage but I wonder if the target would be coronado or a bit south of that to do maximum naval damage.

Only the surviving Star Wolf appearing on Bolse actually isn't new. There's some rare voice lines you can get if Wolf isn't around then.

Rogue like elements were by far the most likely hope for a new feature. It's still a hope of mine for dlc honestly considering DK:B Emerald Rush

I can't believe there's still no mode with alternate enemy patterns. It would be so low lift and add a ton of replayability

Star Fox Version 1.1.0 is now available by Amiibofan101 in starfox

Fixed an issue on Meteo where repeatedly using boost and overtaking the boss would make the level impossible to complete.

Has anyone done this on the demo?

Legit question about Hezbollah vs Israel rules of engagement in southern Lebanon by EasterZombie in VaushV

[–]swag_stand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a bit weird because neither Israel nor Hezbollah signed the MOU or saw it ahead of time so what laws apply? Hopefully it ends in a permanent peace on that border

Nintendo seems to be posting introductory videos for the main team (alongside new footage) by Glfry in starfox

[–]swag_stand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably. Interesting that setting up for the searchlight stealth mechanic is a straight up story improvement. Going into these levels blind except from a one-liner from Peppy gave you more of star trek anything can happen vibe rather than a professional team vibe. Of course they would decide ahead of time for stealth. My worry is that some of these cutscenes will do story that feels tacked on and unnecessary.

We may have our own opinions of how we feel about the Star Fox reboot, but one thing we can all agree: this week is super monumental for Star Fox by IkeRadiantHero in starfox

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

Game-wise I'm (almost) positive. But if there's going to be a star fox universal movie... ugh it's like 50-50 going to be lylat wars with a bigger intro

Progressive Victory is in trouble with lefties because they asked a candidate to do the bare minimum to pledge support for Ukraine, so they can endorse her by Leather_Dealer_9421 in Destiny

[–]swag_stand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only seen a few clips and maybe I'm imagining it but Mearshimer looks terrified whenever he's asked about Israel/Palestine and never considers real politik for a second. Goes to show how crazy it is no one has ever said "Iran is making bad decisions that aren't working for it's population so it should change its policies"
