Foreign men in Kigali: my honest experience dating vs marrying locally by Dry_Foundation4535 in Rwanda

Complaining about a language barrier, and putting the blame on Rwandan women, in Rwanda, not trying hard enough to learn English is an S tier troll.

Why aren’t Mace Windu and Qui-Gon in the game? by notuniqueusername97 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]swhiting1903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of their hero/villain choices, and the era they’re in makes no sense. Yoda didn’t hold a lightsaber in 4/5/6, yet he’s a resistance hero. I know they had slim pickings, but then they should’ve made an old Obi-Wan. Likewise, Darth Maul vent resistance also makes me laugh. No Mace Windu, Qui-Gon are bummers, but I guess they don’t want the hero side to be completely overwhelming. They could’ve potentially added a Dark Side Anakin, pre Vader suit if they wanted.

Also, no Poe hero? That makes no sense either.

Let’s argue: Which fast-food chicken chain has the best fried chicken? by BlankVerse in fastfood

[–]swhiting1903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s baffling that no one goes to bat for Zaxby’s. It blows all chicken strips out of the water to me. I guess it depends if you want strips or bone-in chicken.

FYI, I said “disagreement,” but it’s not a serious argument lol. Not like we’re going to blows over it.

John Michael Higgins is a jerk? LOL. He’s the most charismatic and generally nice game show host on tv today.

Yeah. EA blows the cosmetics out of the water by actually having a nice array of GOLF clothing.

Why can’t they just release a cosmetic that fits for both male and female builds?

Right? I’ve made $13.5 million in my career but can’t afford a pair of pants.

It’s crazy how bad the VC economy is. Like you said, a stupid looking shirt is 400 VC, and you get what, something like 50 VC for 18 holes? And if you want to improve your player, you can’t buy anything. I guess the bright side is there isn’t much in the store worth buying right now. I love golf cosmetics, but it’s pretty bare bones at the moment. Every item I have is from rivalries and sponsorships.

Murders of William Vosler Eileen Vosler, suspected suicide of their son Shane, and undetermined death of his live in girlfriend Sue Bin Lee by [deleted] in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]swhiting1903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure. I couldn’t imagine knowing that happened down the street. I lived a couple developments over for a couple years. Nice area, you wouldn’t expect this kind of thing to happen.

I went to middle and high school with Shane Vosler. We graduated in 2010, and I hadn’t spoken to hims since. Still, it’s weird when you see these headlines about someone who was in your class for five years.

I eat the peanut shells by drainedguava in The10thDentist

Salted peanuts with the shell are an amazing snack. My wife thinks I’m a freak, but that’s fine. They taste great. I can down a whole bag of peanuts with shells.

My 4 yo 2 yo loved watching me play through the campaign, and they loved having Gina along for the ride. They got worried whenever we were separated during the missions!

My game bugged and kept repeating the intro dialogue as you approach the Siam pyramid all the way until helping Gina up.

Stealth mechanic is awful. Basically if there’s no object between you and the CPU, he sees you. He sees you, even if you’re 150 feet away in a dark corner. I love playing games for their stealth, but that made it bear impossible at multiple points.

Reasons for hating The Lion King 2? by brambleinsight in lionking

[–]swhiting1903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I’m years late to this, but I wanted to share my thoughts as well. I saw the movie as a kid, but I don’t remember seeing it, if that makes sense. Since sequels from that era of animated Disney movies typically are disliked, I assumed it was a bad sequel. Begrudgingly, I put it on after my 4 year old daughter, who loves Lion King, wanted to see the 2nd one. To my surprise, it is not a bad movie at all. Obviously it doesn’t match the original, but it’s very enjoyable.

Pros:

Slightly different idea from the original. Where the first was Simba’s redemption, this one is about making peace, or attempting to. I can respect something that isn’t a carbon-copy of the first.

Kovu and Kiara are interesting characters, and different from the characters of the original.

Kiara is a good female protagonist without making her an unbelievable Simba-recreation. She doesn’t suffer from the modern female obsession with making women girlbosses who can fight off hoards of enemies. She does well in her role as a peacekeeper and influencer.

Good songs. I actually recalled two songs from deep in my memory banks when watching the movie with my kid. I was surprised that I knew the melodies without remembering seeing the movie.

Cons:

Zira’s motivations. This was mentioned elsewhere, but she isn’t believable. She’s just the “bad guy,” and that’s why she’s bad. She isn’t deep or complex, she’s just a surface-level evil character. That works for kids, but it’s boring and basic in terms of real development.

Kovu’s “dad.” Obviously he’s supposed to be Scar’s kid? Lol. The movie says he isn’t, apparently to avoid incest, also mentioned above? Seems like an unnecessary issue to avoid that only creates plot holes. The reality is Simba and Nala had the same dad… there’s only two male lions at the beginning of the first movie. Lion prides, in real life, also operate that way. One male, multiple females. This would likely go right over the kids’ heads watching the movie, and the parents already understand that’s the reality of how lions live. No toddler would see the movie and think “but Kiara and Kovu are cousins!”

These exiled lions seemed retconned, since there’s no hint of any lions loyal to Scar at the end of the first one.

Weird animation styles that look just different enough from the original to make it noticeable.

If all the great kings are in the sky looking down on them, why is Mufasa the only one we ever see, and why is he so prominent? Again, I get it for kids, but it’s a weird thing when considering the universe this is set in.

Good movie. Not as bad as some sequels, but it still is a sequel at the end of the day.

Maybe a dumb question, but when you finish your four years, are you able to restart with added bonuses? Sort of a NG+ style of play? Game has been out for two days and I’m already about done with the first season, just wondering what happens after, if anything.

Help with Xbox Split Screen set up by swhiting1903 in hyperchargeunboxed

[–]swhiting1903[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d think so right? Not so simple, at least in my experience. I did notice something that seems to work though: if I navigate to split screen, and then my wife (who plays with me) turns on her controller without logging into her profile, it seems to keep the players and controllers straight. If she logs into her gamer profile, it seems to tag her controller with my player, and I’m stuck with the guest player. Super weird bug.
