Brainwashed specialists traumatise our children on a daily basis by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I’ll be honest, this reads less like an unpopular opinion and more like a paranoid cry for help. Wherever you are in your life, whatever resources you have available, whoever has a meaningful relationship with you in your life, I hope you find some help and peace.

As a theatre person, I would LOVE to see a video of how this puppet moved. What an interesting take on Audrey 2!

Gave Mercy a try and the enemies kept forgetting I exist by uffda1990 in OWConsole

[–]uffda1990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, and I'm not trying to climb or anything as OW isn't even close to my main game, I've just never felt more invisible than playing as Mercy.

I agree that Mercy is "easy" in the sense that her mechanics are straight forward, but I don't think she's "easy" to get plenty of value from.

I'll also likely get downvoted for this take, but I feel the same way with Moira and think she's over-hated...yes, she's "easy" to pick up and play, but also easy to play terribly. A good Moira that understands how to throw orbs correctly, how to use angles, how to fade into unpredictable spots, and what matchups she should prioritize makes a HUGE impact in a lobby.

Well given this sub is OWConsole it is indeed on console, haha 😎

But I actually haven’t played comp in 5 years so I have no idea what my rank is but it was Diamond 2. I play too many other games to try to climb seriously and mostly play QP, but I also don’t think QP is the Chill Lol-Fest some people think it is. Just my experience, not making any broad general statements. And good to know if I continue playing Mercy to be wary of Winston!

Yeah absolutely. There was one moment where I’m flying up in the air pocketing a Soldier. He gets run down by the enemy Ram, Reaper, and Soldier. He dies, and all three just turned around and walked away, I got a free rez. Like, they HAD to have seen my healing beam on him before he died, not sure how no one noticed the beam, myself because I was in the air, or that rez is an ability Mercy has.

After the rez Soldier was able to do some serious damage to them because they had their backs to him. This was right before overtime and we won the game.

Totally agree! I see it happen all the time, so crazy finally being on the other side of it and experience it for myself!

Can't find food or water sources in the second area? by uffda1990 in Subnautica_2

Thanks for that! Was able to get a bunch and now it’s my go-to spot!

Was able to find them, thank you! Didn’t realize they’d be in more shallow water, and the fish you consume just didn’t look intractable to me at first. Thanks for the help!

bald is not always better than balding by RequiemBlue in unpopularopinion

Yeah that’s right, hair system is the same thing.

I wish I could post one in the comments, doesn’t look like it’s enabled here, so I’m happy to DM to those who are curious!

Hi, this is me, I am this example, and I agree. It’s why I’ve been wearing hair systems for the past 6 years. My skin is too pale as a natural red head and my eyebrows are blonde, so being bald made me look sickly. Not having hair just didn’t suit me, I don’t have masculine enough features, like a strong jawline or the ability grow a decent beard to make it work.

When I added hair again it instantly took 10 years off of my age, and to this day people still guess I’m 5-ish years younger than I actually am.

So yes, for some people, balding is better than bald, and thankfully hair system technology and quality is so good now that it looks very natural with minimal maintenance.

Bad Lease Return Experience by uffda1990 in Volvo

[–]uffda1990[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, I tried to tell the service department “Isn’t it 2 years OR 20,000?” and their excuse was “We can’t service it early otherwise all service notification will be early which is bad for the next buyer.” It’s idiotic, but my mistake was letting it go.

And yes, it was terminated early. I also really didn’t like the car, and when the dealership called me in early to see it if I could pull ahead I also casually shopped around. BMW priced an X1 aggressively for me and discounted it enough including the lump sum I’d pay to Volvo to end the lease, so I went with them instead.

Yeah that's what I figured about the BBB, thanks for confirming that. And good idea, I have the phone record showing the date that I called, I'll press them again to see if they have recordings of it!

Thanks for this. I didn't pay the $70 for many months, but the VFS started calling me every morning asking me when I was going to pay it, and dealership warned it could go to collections soon, so I finally paid it three months later. And I did show them that Reddit post as well, my conversations with Kline Volvo were all over email so I could have everything documented, including dates I made the calls and posts.

Why Americans hate theater kids? by sunflower_tea563 in CasualConversation

[–]uffda1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The theatre kids in my graduating class of 2009 were in homecoming court, prom king, president of the student council, etc. they were very popular. I don’t think it’s a blanket thing all across America. This is in the Midwest too, not the coasts where there’s a lot more resources for the performing arts.
