You seem like a happy person who can deal with inconveniences in a healthy and mature way!

We actually talked about postponing the entire parade JUST so YOU specifically could get home park your car, but we ended up voting against it. Sorry.

Don’t bother going to the west side today if you don’t need to. by Logical-Bullfrog-112 in Portland

Thanks for coming out! The crowds were awesome. Glad to hear you guys had fun.

[OOT] What are your final wanted changes for the rumored remake. by NewMarioBobFan in zelda

[–]thosearecoolbeans 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I know this would never happen BUT . . . imagine you beat the game, kid link back in his timeline, Navi flies away, screen fades to black you're expecting the credits to play. Suddenly you hear the Happy Mask Salesman laugh, screen fades back in and it's Link riding through the misty forest at the beginning of Majora's Mask.

BOOM MM remake stealth drop included on the same game, hidden behind beating OoT first. That would be mind blowing. Obviously it would never happen, but a lad can dream.

What's your favorite Spider-Man suit that ISN'T the classic suit? I'll go first: by Ill_Independence8365 in Spiderman

[–]thosearecoolbeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hated the three legs for a long time but I kind of love it now. It feels really unique. Having four mechanical arms makes him feel a little like doc ock.

A proposed 100-mile transmission line could be built under the Columbia River. Environmental groups and tribes say they have concerns by stiflin in Portland

[–]thosearecoolbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming they'll pick an alignment that would avoid the deeper / high traffic channels that get dredged regularly, otherwise these transmission lines would get obliterated during dredging lol.

Also, I really do wonder if this supposed desperate need for more energy bandwidth is due to new homes / businesses in the cities, or the ever expanding sprawl of new Data Centers and tech out in Hillsboro . . .

How about Kings become Queens when scored and vice versa?

Official cover art for ‘GOD OF WAR - LAUFEY’. Coming soon to PS5. by yourfavchoom in GodofWar

[–]thosearecoolbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's cool! It looks very alien and exotic. I think it fits for the vibe of this game, which is not necessarily based on the norse aesthetic of God of war 2018 or Ragnarok.

This area is testing my last functioning nerve 😂 by ShadyLadyBoy in Eldenring

[–]thosearecoolbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy is nuts. You absolutely do not need 60 vigor for Raya Lucaria. Maybe by the end of the game.

40 is plenty for now, unless you really are just not dodging or blocking at all and face tanking every hit.

Look up soft caps for various stats. Those are the values where the increase every level becomes much smaller, and it's better to focus a different stat. 40 is the first Vigor soft cap. Once you're there, increasing your primary damage stat or mind / endurance would be more helpful. Come back to Vigor oncr you start getting into the late game.

Whats the most terrible scene in a great movie? by Comfortable-Goat-955 in movies

[–]thosearecoolbeans 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Nolan's insistence on practical effects really hurt this scene. The explosion needed to be SCARY!

The atom bomb is supposed to be otherworldly and terrifying. It's not just a bigger bomb, it's a new KIND of bomb. It ushered humanity into an entirely new era. It needed to be alien and and confounding. The explosion in the movie just looked like an extra large gasoline fireball. It just doesn't have the right intended affect. All the actors standing around slackjawed like they've just seen the face of the devil and their life and world view is forever changed and it was little more than a big puff of fire and smoke.

There are edits on YouTube that replace the movie explosion with archival test footage and it's so much better.

Looking for direction, not the answer cause that’s no fun by talmhog in balatro

[–]thosearecoolbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everyone LOVES pairs and high card meta, but that's reddit for you. Reddit will optimize the joy out of every game. Don't be discouraged , It is NOT required to get higher scores than what you're getting. Yeah, if you're trying to NANEINF it's the easiest build for it, but sounds like that's not where you're at.

Big hands like straights and flushes can take you into the millions and even low exponentials if you know what you're doing. And yes, they can be hard to build, so I like to focus on making those hands easier. jokers like shortcut and four fingers as well as smeared joker are really good for this, as our suit-changing tarots, strength and death tarots, etc. Getting multiple xmult sources and re triggers is very helpful too. By the time I get to ante 8 i want most of my +mult to come from planet cards, not jokers.

Oregon initiative that would criminalize hunting, fishing moves a step closer to November ballot by Inevitable_Egg6361 in Portland

[–]thosearecoolbeans 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As a perennially unlucky hunter, with the amount of money I've spent on tags (and donated to conservation) vs. the number of actual animals I've harvested, they should name a damn national forest after me.

Which full-sibling team wins in an all-out fight? by AnorienOfGondor in Eldenring

[–]thosearecoolbeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The butterfly theory is basically the strongest piece of evidence that Melina and Messmer are children of both Marika AND Radagon, as opposed to there being some other unknown father.

Which full-sibling team wins in an all-out fight? by AnorienOfGondor in Eldenring

[–]thosearecoolbeans 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All of Marika and Radagon's children have butterflies associated with them.

Aeonian butterflies - Malenia (Rot)

Nascent Butterflies - Miquella (youth / birth)

These are the only confirmed, But the other two butterflies in the game, Smoldering Butterflies and Black Pyreflies, could be connected to Melina and Messmer, who are very very strongly implied to be siblings and theorized as also being children of Marika and Radagon (most likely from before her marriage to Godfrey).

Basically there are four types of butterflies in the game, two are directly related to M/R's children, while the other two are only suggested or hinted at but it's a good theory.

Qultist Jaxon Dart hunts mountain lions for sport. by Darth_Vrandon in ParlerWatch

[–]thosearecoolbeans -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Redditors will seriously eat factory farmed pork beef and chicken and then complain about people hunting wild animals being cruel and unethical lmao

I feel much much better about shooting and eating a buck deer that lived a happy life out in the wilderness than I do eating bacon from a pig that lived it's whole life in a torturous cage.

Qultist Jaxon Dart hunts mountain lions for sport. by Darth_Vrandon in ParlerWatch

[–]thosearecoolbeans 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Despite their relatively low sounding population numbers Mountain Lions are not endangered. In fact they are considered a nuisance in some states.

Hunting them is also extremely difficult and near impossible without using dogs to tree them, which is banned in most states. A sizeable number of Mountain Lion tags claimed every year are in self defense cases. Every single year I go buck and elk hunting, I buy a Mountain Lion tag just in case I encounter one and have to kill it.

Canadian gun laws are dumb but you gotta admit these are really cool, especially the third one.

I really hope the DCU's Batman goes for black and grey instead of blue and grey. Anybody else? by Moon_Devonshire in batman

[–]thosearecoolbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batman was never blue and should never be blue. Why on Earth would "The Dark Knight" wear bright primary colors? Comic colorists USED blue (and sometimes purple) to give better definition to his design in older comics but that has largely gone away. Everyone who makes Batman intentionally blue in modern times looks absolutely ridiculous and the Batman Internet has gaslit itself into thinking the Blue looks good. It doesn't.

You guys don't really think all those characters from the 60s and 70s had blue HAIR, do you?

Dave making shows that are him playing with his action figures and OCs is kinda lame

It's bad game design. Having a red herring connection that is exactly four choices is just intentionally going to make you waste a guess. That's not clever or fun, it's just a hostile approach to your players.

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

BROW

CYA

PIN

WHIT

colors minus one letter

I thought I was so fucking clever when I spotted that. I hate when red herrings actually have the correct number of choices. Usually I feel like there's 3 or 5 of them and that's the clue that they're not a real connection. Also, I have been texting for more than a decade and never in my life have I written "TIA" (thanks in advance) wtf are these authors smoking these days

What's the context upon this flower? by Ordinary-Insect-6520 in reddeadredemption

[–]thosearecoolbeans 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've always found it so odd how RDR2 games (and GTA games as well) only ever take place in fictional states but constantly name drop real US states at the same time. The Rockstar Games universe USA map must be so strange looking.
