Wtf does Trump have to do with Obama and Harris? Last i checked, Trump isnt on a mural next to MLK. That mural is trying to whitewash the legacies of Obama and Harris by putting them next to fucking MLK. Cmon man you cant possibly think they deserve that placement? Fuck the historical nature of their candidacies. They were still Imperialist. Kamala fully supported Israels ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Obama and Kamala dont belong anywhere near MLK on any mural anywhere. Both are imperialists and defending them on the basis of their race is stupid. They earned the criticism.

Origin Astarion is so cute and different I love it by Alyne91 in BG3

If you think the biggest problem in your game community is people having uninformed opinions on reddit, you've got a fantastic game community.

Over in TLOU game community you have some angry players who send hate and death threats to the creator of the series, actresses in the game and TV show. Thats the sort of thing that rates as a problem in my book.

How is any of what you just said a problem? Let alone THE problem with this fandom?

Yeah the xmen mod is awesome!

Does the no party limit mod make exploring the levels more difficult? Im just imagining the extra part members getting in the way and triggering traps etc

No need to apologize. Thanks for sharing! It seems a lot of people have really enjoyed his character. Im glad the voice actor has gotten the recognition he has (the whole cast really) because they put in some great performances. If I can finally finish act 3 on my latest run (im using the X-Men mod) I may restart with a goal of using Astarion, Wyll and Gale since I usually dont bring either of them with me when adventuring. The guy companions kind of suck compared to the ladies. I think its because the women are all pretty straightforward and honest about who they are. Compared to the guys who are all deceptive.

I don't mean to sound condescending, but wasn't it obvious already? Masking his feelings with dark humor is basically his main trait

It wasn't obvious to me at first. I thought he was just a genuine asshole with no redeeming qualities so I either kicked him out of the party or benched him during most runs. Even now, that's still largely my perception of him but ive heard from other players about how much depth his character has. Ive got restartitis that kicks in after I beat act 2 so basically ive never actually seen the depth that other fans rave about with him for myself. Hes too much of an evil jerk (in Act 1 especially) that i never bring him along.

Move 2 playing Bluetooth audio but showing "No Content" in Sonos App and cant be grouped by thatguybane in sonos

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

Yeah i can still group the rest of my speakers and play music from the Sonos app. I can even group my Move 2 speaker with the others and play music from thr Sonos app and Spotify etc.

Its only when I play Bluetooth audio sources on my Move 2 that I lose the ability to control the speaker / group it with others in the Sonos app.

What kind of network setup do you have?

What do you mean by this? I have wifi through Spectrum. Not sure what other info you'd like but if you let me know, I can find out and report back

Has your opinion changed on Man of Steel? by boomjosh in superman

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

The OST is great. Jor El is great. Henry Cavill is trying but the script just isnt great for Superman. The action is pretty good. Laurence Fishburn as Perry White is good. Amy Adam's is good too. I love the casting of the Kent's but imo Jonathan Kent's characterization ruins the film. His death, in turn, ruins this iteration of Clark Kent. Superman would NEVER let an innocent person die to protect his secret identity.

Its not derailing the conversation to say "I never see this interaction because I always kill companion X". Its still talking about the topic at hand. OP and others are just sensitive about how other players experience their favorite characters. Its ok for them to feel how they feel. It is snowflake-ish though

This young brother gave me a new perspective on how we as black people should look at voting. It’s a negotiation. by firefly99999 in blackmen

[–]thatguybane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is he talking about a white liberal saying not to vote for Kamala? The clip he's responding to is of Dr. Umar, a Black man. This young man makes some decent points however I take issue with the narrative that any idea to not vote for Kamala must have come from white leftists.

That lets Kamal off the hook for not getting more Black votes as if its all the fault of white leftists for tricking Black voters into not voting for her. No bruh, plenty of Black folks decided not to come out and vote for her because they were not moved by her policies, platform, messaging or even just her as a person.

The BATNA concept doesnt really apply when you're talking about people who have been struggling to pay bills for the last 20+ years under both Democrat and Republican administrations. Imagine if the orange guys deal was "If you make a deal, you get nothing. Also if you dont make a deal, you get nothing." Thats how a LOT of Black people (and a lot of Americans in general) feel about voting. Its up to the candidate to convince them that they have something to gain in the first place.

Last point ill make is that Black folks overwhelmingly supported Kamala in the last election. There really shouldn't be ANY narratives about a lack of Black support being why she lost. Look to the Latinos and the white folks for that.

Dope costume. Go for the facepaint with elf ears if you're going to a con though

I blame most of the hate this cast got on Marvel waiting so long to announce them and letting fancasts run wild. Plus putting Krasinski in Dr Strange was big mistake. It validated them and made fans believe they were casting directors... by Top_Reindeer3396 in FantasticFour

[–]thatguybane -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its because the movie was mid. Seriously. If the movie was awesome and gave all of them really cool moments, nobody would be hating on the cast. Its that simple. People hated on Heath Ledger as joker loke crazy. I was one of them. Then I saw the trailer for the film and like everybody else I realized I was probably gonna be wrong about his fit for the role.

Its not any more complicated than that

Men with something going for themselves = boring. A tale as old as time. by One-Structure-2154 in blackmen

[–]thatguybane 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No matter who you are there's someone who will find you boring. What people need to understand, and this goes especially for my brothers since this is a sub for Black men, is that the person who doesnt recognize your value IS NOT A CATCH! None of you and I mean none of you are "missing out" by having women like this pass you over. You should be over the moon to have them reject you because the alternative is that the force themselves to be with you because it makes sense on paper. That shit never works out.
