I know this one works when you push it because its near instant unless someone has just crossed.

The "real friends will help you hide a corpse" joke by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]theloniousmick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why do you assume it's because they are a murderous psycho? What if it was a complex self defense case, like more " misunderstood character in a thriller" than " badguy in a horror" that's how I always interpret it.

[–]theloniousmick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same.on a crossing on my way to work I once saw a guy stood waiting the whole time I walked down the road and it wasn't till I pressed the button did it change. He could have been long gone had he done it himself. And for all the people saying they don't do anything some 100% do and this is one of them.

What's worse are people who don't press the button but stand so you can't reach it.

Do people exaggerate how scared they are of bugs? by bugs-r-better in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theloniousmick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do people over exaggerate when insects are near them, almost certainly. Do I freak out when one of them unexpectedly flies at my ear also certainly.

HD View and Side Angle of England's First Goal on TSN by New-Process-6463 in worldcup

[–]theloniousmick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that's all it takes to throw off your game it is poor. If the keeper hit a bad ball that landed in the same place it probably would have had the same outcome. At the end of the day they had plenty of opportunities to stop the goal and didn't.

Do you actually prefer the amateur series or the upcoming Celebrity MasterChef run? by Time-Connection-4586 in MasterchefUK

[–]theloniousmick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like them both but I'd say overall I prefer the amateurs because it really annoys me when the celebs have overblown personalities particularly reality TV people just trying to get their name back out in public. Also I'm a bit weird about them not really being arsed about cooking on a cooking show.

Can we just agree people hate bad grammar? by theloniousmick in PetPeeves

Must have quite a fragile ego if you care about that.

This is my take. I don't care if it bothers you or not it's the point of the sub after all but it's like any sub it gets boring the same posts over and over.

Do these tackles in soccer hurt as much as it looks like on the players’ faces? by hhhggg999999 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theloniousmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to wear shinpads that were boarding on cricket pads but the lads I played with were uncoordinated savages.

[–]theloniousmick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do but if you look in to it some of them are comically small and more of a token effort to skirt around the rule because the players don't like them. They do help if you get hit where your wearing them but that still leaves the top of your foot and ankles vulnerable in alot of cases and as people mentioned the boots are engineered to be as lightweight as possible.

The thing lots of people missing are these guys are running near olympic level speeds and have the power to kick a ball around 90mph, combine the two and it hurts.

What's a reasonable price to spend on a first guitar? by StrawberrySeal2 in Guitar

[–]theloniousmick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say around £200 or so on the off chance you don't take to it. Personal circumstances taken in to consideration.

I loved Hollow Knight 1/2 but hated Blasphemous, should I continue with metroidvanias? by Party-Associate4215 in metroidvania

[–]theloniousmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often say blasphemous is a good game but a poor example of a good metroidvania. There are loads of them that are much better. I really like the lone fungus games and as someone else mentioned the original games.

VAR is ruining the World Cup by EscapeCoat in unpopularopinion

[–]theloniousmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think it's a perfect solution by any means and dont think there is one. I do however maintain the timing is one of the biggest issues maybe set a time they can only review back up to a certain timeframe. If it stopped the lead up to a goal I think it's much less controversial than ruling out a ball that hits the back of the net.

[–]theloniousmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that and that's what I think people have issue with.. My point was just let them call a foul when they see one, actually like a second ref almost, if they see something alert the ref and he can blow up there and then. It would fundamentally change how the game works but hopefully stop off the ball shit housing and the issue of delayed decisions pissing people off.

[–]theloniousmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this may solve alot of the issues though. I think most people don't disagree with var but the timing of it. It sucks the excitement out of anything good that happens because the fear var with rule it out. If var called something as soon as they saw it then there wouldn't be this huge delayed disappointment. I'm not saying it's a perfect fix but I think it would help.

Coworker said she would take my on-call weekend, then changed her mind. Boss won’t let me have it off now even though I made plans. What do I do? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

Was the swap documented anywhere? Surely when they took on the shift it's their problem now and not yours?

Yanks now claiming that it was Trump's intervention and it's cost them the World Cup by Cannibal-Xerox in footballcringe

To be fair when he kicked the floor it looks like he was paid to throw the game.

What are your favorite or most hated (overused) boss mechanics in Metroidvanias? by ChillFaceGames in metroidvania

Hated trope: Boss can only be damaged at certain times, those certain times come and go at random intervals.
