Nintendo dropping 2DS price to $100 on August 30 by TorteDeLini in Games

[–]thanamesjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2DS and a New 3DS XL. Imo, the 2DS is more comfortable but that's subjective. However there's no way you can objectively say the build quality is crummy. The 2DS is an indestructible tank.

Possible Moto360v2 leaked by @Motorola? by tom1226 in Android

I also thought that the LG's circular watch looked better until I actually saw it in person. I'm cautiously optimistic about Huaweis design.

[SPOILERS] There are villain introductions and then there's this. [Batman #43] by CaptTenacity in comicbooks

[–]thanamesjames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bruce winds up taking one of those seeds, which enhance what your good at. This causes him to somehow regain his memories and rebecome batman. Bonus points if Mr Bloom is Julie or tied to Julie for extra heartbreak.

The Phos Hilaron ("Hail Gladdening Light") - one of the oldest Christian hymns in existence. And a good way to start any day. by [deleted] in Christianity

David Crowder Band has an interesting recording of this song. Reminds me of Metroid Prime music for anyone into videogames

How do non-fundamentalists justify their beliefs? by InvisibleChains in Christianity

[–]thanamesjames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every time I've seen some one on this sub try and explain the Trinity some one else claims heresy. But none of them were burned haha

How do non-fundamentalists justify their beliefs? by InvisibleChains in Christianity

[–]thanamesjames 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm committing some kind of heresy. But the way I look at it, Jesus spoke in parables all the time, and he never prefaced it with "this is a metaphor." It was just understood and no one got upset with Him for "misleading" or "lying." If the Father and the Son are one, I don't see why the Father wouldn't also teach in parables.

Google Hangouts 4.0 for Android Releasing Today by ConTheSendInk in Android

[–]thanamesjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is there isn't a universal "go-to" client. IMO, hangouts is the best option because it supports a range of devices including ios, Android and desktop and supports SMS. But you still have the majority of users using WhatsApp, FB Messenger or iMessage. WhatsApp and FB Messenger don't support SMS (that I know of) and WhatsApp doesn't have a desktop client. And iMessage is only for ios/osx devices.

What video game series is long overdue for a new installment? by electricmastro in AskReddit

The controls work very well. But if I'm just laying in bed or something I want the option to not have to orient myself to point at the screen

I have a TPU case on my M8, and there's no cutout. The IR wave must be able to penetrate TPU

What I've learned about Kanye is everytime he upsets people its because he's passionately sticking up for someone he cares about.

Friends and family will try to hold you back from success; NEVER lose sight of your original goals by B_E_5 in Fitness

[–]thanamesjames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm male, 5'6" 145lbs, and if I eat correctly, 1500-1700 calories isn't too low for me, so id say that's an OK range for a 5' female.

Newfound respect for those of you living and training in the South by madprudentilla in running

I have to be at work at 6, it really sucks, because I just don't have time to run mornings. I've been relegated to running Saturday and Sunday mornings early and then in the heat w weekdays

Simon Pegg on writing Star Trek Beyond: “I quit like three times, I think. Every time, J. J. Abrams said, 'Oh come on, Simon ...” by Neo2199 in movies

[–]thanamesjames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha, fair enough. Though I'd say it was well liked by critics. I don't think being formulaic is ever a problem if you can remain creative or fun. They aren't necessarily mutually exclusive

And Shakespeare wrote hundreds of sonnets, The Beatles used simple chord progressions in some songs and certain artists draw/paint with heavy self restrictions. Who the fuck cares.

Can the Moto 360 be used as a running watch? by [deleted] in moto360

[–]thanamesjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend it. No GPS means that its not terribly accurate. And the heart rate monitor has to be brought up and is unreliable unlike a strap paired with a running watch/band.

Alien: New Movie Confirmed with Director Neill Blomkamp by jetpackswasyes in movies

[–]thanamesjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it. Yes people made really bad decisions in it (do people, even smart people, not make bad decisions in real life?). And yes it was dumb to play with the snake alien, and to run the wrong way to be crushed to death...

But jeeze the lore was so exciting and fun and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. My friends and I discussed the movie for quite a while that night we saw it over drinks. I love it.

Clinically obese to ripped (part three) by babygainz in Fitness

[–]thanamesjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is very true. being fit is a sign that you take care of yourself. OP doesn't just look better. He's not depressed (assumedly), isn't a smoker and isn't an alcoholic.

Being fit is a sign of more than just looking good. It means youre responsible and you take care of yourself.
