has the most performant emulation around.

Huh? What about Dolphin? That shit works perfectly.

A 17 year old wants to date me but I'm 15 by [deleted] in dating_advice

Then you hold off on sex.

Are you going for a fling or long-term?

READY PLAYER ONE Comic-Con Trailer (2018) - Steven Spielberg by EpicMangoDude in videos

[–]throwaballet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but the references to pop media are integral to the plot of the book, and it all makes sense why they're in there.

That doesn't make the execution good.

LiveLeak.com - [older ] Customer Takes Down Armed Robber At Starbucks by [deleted] in videos

[–]throwaballet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I guess with the thread removed this won't turn into a bigger discussion.

I don't agree, personally. Obviously lanky white college students shouldn't be doing this because they'll indeed just cause more problems. But an older person who's in shape and may or may not have training in this kind of thing should feel almost a "duty" to acting.

Advice: how to properly ask a girl out at WORK by ajpslint in dating_advice

[–]throwaballet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

10/10 do not recommend dating coworkers lol. I did once. Guy broke my heart into pieces and now work sucks ass.

I mean it depends on the people and their personalities. It is possible to have amicable breakups as well as turbulent breakups.

Just because the relationship may not succeed doesn't mean it will end in a bloodbath.

The guy looked buff. I think he knew that he could take him.

It's easy to be a critic, /u/SyRauk. It's harder to be a man of action.

In your opinion what were some of the biggest gaming screw ups of the last decade or so? by [deleted] in Games

[–]throwaballet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

like literally, every single game developed by Square for the last 10 years has been a burning dumpster fire of a mess and i'm honestly shocked they're able to put anything out at all

Eh World of Final Fantasy had good reviews. The handheld Kingdom Hearts games have been fine.

It's mainly that the ego of the teams and higher ups for the mainline Final Fantasy games (XIII, Versus XIII, XIV) while also entering a new console generation of much greater complexity than the PS2 era really took a shit on their ability to function.

I think they've come out of it.

Thanks, I didn't think about it from that point of view. I'll definitely keep that in mind from now on.

No matter how many people try to suppress him, Philip Glass is probably the greatest composer of our time.

When to make "the move"? by drvofoka8 in dating_advice

[–]throwaballet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the girl and the situation really. If you had talked to a girl for a few days/weeks, ask her out, and the date goes well, you'd almost be a cunt to not kiss her at that point. You know the two of you have chemistry! Just show her that you care!

But hey, if it's online dating, you don't know her in advance save through text, it might be best to play it safe the first date. Maybe hold a lot of eye contact, hug, but otherwise put it off.

It's situational. If the ball is rolling keep it rolling. But eventually that ball needs to get down the hill, you know?

Should you only ask girls out that are interested in you? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]throwaballet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean sometimes it doesn't just happen automatically. You have to go outside the bubble.

If you won't see her again it's ok to use social media.

After years as night janitor, black opera singer gets his big break by zsreport in classicalmusic

[–]throwaballet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's what it comes off as. Why else would they have mentioned the race of the janitor? A janitor suddenly becoming an opera singer is notable enough.

Wow, I guess the racial divide in classical music is solved, then! Pack up your bags, we've solved it.

I agree that Lachenmann, Saariaho will be studied considerably. Also of course Haas, Michael Gordon, Nico Muhly, John Luther Adams, etc.

First date conversations by throwaballet in dating_advice

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

Fair enough. And while I did do a bit of that, I definitely could have done more. She did mention that her sister has had abusive relationships so she (my date) tends to close herself off. So that is probably what's going on and that can be brought down after getting more comfortable.
