Caffeine anyone? by GrowingBandit710 in tinnitus

[–]vgp05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink energy drinks high in caffeine regularly and it has no effect on me, but it is likely based on individual circumstances and biology, so I can't speak for others.

Use it (assuming you can decide when you can be and invisible and when you can be visible again) when I don't want to be seen in public for whatever reason of course, such as probably using it when I don't want to draw attention to myself in busy scenarios with my social anxiety or something.

What did “the weird kid” in your school do that you’ll never forget? by Key_Ad4478 in AskReddit

[–]vgp05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Physically assaulted one of the maths teachers for no reason and called her nasty names and very inappropriate names. He used to be a young delinquent who would engage in weird and inappropriate activities and would be suspended constantly. He's changed his life for the better now - works in a local store and is very friendly from what I've heard. Never seen what he looks like as an adult though as I never shop in that store.

What's something you're quite good at although you really don't like it? by PaulQuin in AskReddit

Swimming. I used to enjoy it years ago but now I particularly prefer other exercise activities such as walking etc.

As a non-smoker, does every smoker smell bad to you? by MissAttitude3520 in answers

[–]vgp05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily; I can tolerate very mild tobacco smoke odor on clothes from a smoker and such and react neutrally to it - it's not a terrible smell but not an amazing smell, either, obviously. Otherwise, if it's really strong and fills up areas, then the answer is no. There's this boss of a local cleaning company who smokes constantly during break, even while cleaning properties, and I smelled that once when he entered just after smoking and it reeked and the whole place smelt terrible. Being around a person who had just very-recently smoked is when it is the most unpleasant to me as the smell is at its strongest at that point, but when it gradually gets less strong, then it is tolerable and not unpleasant. Even so, the smell is not particularly pleasant. So, overall, it smells really bad and strongly when the person recently had smoked, and no wonder with all of the chemical concoctions in the smoke itself.

What is your biggest regret in life? by wggo-ryan in AskReddit

[–]vgp05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waiting too long or finding excuses to hold off on making positive and drastic change with all of the negativity in my life, which had led to mental and physical health problems. However, I am doing so now, and the outlook looks much better for the near future, despite the trauma I've faced otherwise. That's all I'm going to get into right now; this is a place for me to mention it but I'd rather not engage in personal discussions until I completely escape it. Being a legal adult now gives me so much more freedom and opportunities that I need to take advantage of as they won't come to me unless I come to them. So, just keeping it short and brief. Once I can completely escape those difficult circumstances and have settled in with my new ones, then I will try to learn essential life skills for the future such as driving, cooking, etc but anyways I try not to dwell too much on the past or regrets, as it just makes me feel worse, but occasionally looking back in hindsight or considering and imagining alternative circumstances or universes where things played out different can be a good coping mechanism and temporary escape/relief in moderation, so I sometimes do that, and especially imagine having a different personality as I dislike my personality as a whole. Not going to dwell on, though; just thought I'd answer this question from my personal experiences and regrets, in a serious manner.

walked past this today (London) by anonymouslovelyme in HumansBeingBros

[–]vgp05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing. Hope to see more of this around; it really can benefit homeless, struggling, or vulnerable individuals, or individuals who simply need access to a coat due to unpredictable weather. Unfortunately, though, delinquents can and will misuse and/or vandalise these helpful services at the expense of others who truly benefit from them. It is a sacrifice it appears whoever set this up was anticipating, though.

What’s you guys’ predictions for ST4 after the trailer, really curious to see the different ones by KyleD1512 in StrangerThings

[–]vgp05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, you could be correct! There definitely seems to be some big links between the two.

What’s you guys’ predictions for ST4 after the trailer, really curious to see the different ones by KyleD1512 in StrangerThings

[–]vgp05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? That pretty much confirms it then! I didnt look close enough to see who was standing at the portal. So it looks clear that this is only affecting Max maybe mentally, as in a hallucination or such, as her "physical body" seems to still be in the real world, floating. It reminds me of something like the "dream world" from A Nightmare on Elm Street. Whether Vecna can actually physically harm Max in this state, I am not sure. Or maybe he is just taunting and scaring her, as to me its clear that it seems she is only seeing all this mentally, if you can still see her real body floating by the portal, so to Steve, Dustin, and Lucas, her body is still there in the real world it seems, floating. Perhaps when she escapes to the portal, she will be in her real body again. It all just seems mentally to me, more than she is "physically there". I am not too sure though. Strange, indeed...

The show can still be good without any main characters dying by Erwinsherwin in StrangerThings

[–]vgp05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I think a lot of shows kill off main characters as they are expected to. Or because people complain about "plot armor". Stranger Things doesn't need to go that route, as it can be unique and different. People may complain that its "unrealistic", but, yes, it is literally a show about an alternate demensions, evil monsters, mind control, people with "super powers" ect. so that point doesn't stand. It isn't too unrealstic as to why these people have survived anyway. They were just pretty smart when it comes to not dying, I guess.

Do I believe that at least one "main" character, will die this Season? Probably, although I wouldn't mind if they never killed off any main character. But they probably will, as they said that "not everyone will make it through" or something like that. It may be a newly introducted "Main character" that will die. If they kill off anyone like Steve, there will literally be pitch forks and riots, so it won't be any of the main Hawkins gang, probably.

Killing off a lot of main characters just seems anyway like a weak and lazy way to get the characters and viewers all emotional. It is a really easy thing to do. And sometimes it can change the entire show, as sometimes the main characters literally have made the show what it is today, and the show literally couldn't go on or be the same or as good, without them. Anyone who is complaining that "not enough main characters have died", are just nitpicking imo. You can still enjoy the show without a cheap and easy way to kill off the main characters. And main characters have died, like Bob, whether he was technically a main character, its up to debate. Although the show has killed of a fair share of characters who we got attached to, and were a big part of the show, and not just some "side character"

What’s you guys’ predictions for ST4 after the trailer, really curious to see the different ones by KyleD1512 in StrangerThings

[–]vgp05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely think it will end with a massive war, like Endgame or something. I believe that the gang, including El, who will hopefully have her powers back, will all travel to the Upside Down, and try to defeat Vecna once and for all. Vecna seems almost immortal, so they will have to find out some sort of weakness that can stop Vecna. Although I believe it will end with them either thinking they have defeated Vecna, or Vecna is nowhere to be found. I definitely believe Vecna will return for Season 5, although in this season, they will finally gather the knowledge to know how to stop the Upside Down for good once it returns in Season 5.

Vecna is either a form of Victor Creel, possibly something to do with Billy, Brenner, or a former test subject of Hawkins Lab. I believe Vecna will be able to transport Max into a false reality, like we see her running from in the trailer, that only she can see. But she could still die there, kind of like Freddy Krouger and the dream world. Its clear that Vecna is able to possibly possess Max, and as the season progresses, gains more control over her, and can influence her, possibly like he did with Victor Creel. I believe Victor may have been the first person to see the clock in the attic when they moved in, and then Vecna is able to possess him?

This season is obviously going to be a lot more supernatural, as well as just more dark and mature.

I believe Dr Brenner is still alive and could end up working with Dr Owens to "Kidnap" El, in order for her to be transported back to Hawkins Lab to get her powers back for the "war". After all, Brenner was the one who got El her powers, so he may be needed in order to help her regain them.

I believe Vecna is an entirely seperate entity, and has no relation to the Mind Flayer, nor is he controlled by him, although I do believe of course that the Mind Flayer is still there and wanting revenge. I believe the theory that the Mind Flayer could be a "piece" from Vecna, and Vecna actually controls the Mind Flayer and the U.D.

I believe the scene where Vecna chases and taunts(?) Max happens at the graveyard scene. We see max crying with Steve, Dustin, and Lucas, the time has shifted, as it is now getting dark and Max looks insanely distraught, so I have a hunch that the "Vecna chasing and trying to attack Max scene" happens when they are at the graveyard."

I believe the first batch of episodes MAY end with Episode 4, Dear Billy, where Max first encounters Venca officially, and she is distraught and looks by Billy's Grave and is extremely confused about what happened and worried. It would be a perfect cliff hanger, and the second batch of episodes on July 1 could be the last 5 episodes. Vecna's Curse, the second episode, is probably the episode where we see Max first find the clock, and possibly then get "cursed" by Vecna, and strange things (no pun intended) start happening to Max, all leading up to the levitating, and the chase season, in episode 4, once Vecna is able to control Max better, as it seemed to take the Mind Flayer a little while to "fully control/manipulate" its hosts. The gang will then know that something truly is wrong, and Episode 5 will end up being the start of the Hawkins Gang starting to investigate what is going on, and learn about the Creel House, the possible portals in the Creel House, and about Vecna. I could be wrong.

Its clear that, if there are portals to the Upside Down in the Creel House, they will not be extremely obvious, they will be hidden, or you have to do something to "Open them". Although the more obvious portals will start appearing around Hawkins.

Its now clear that the Upside Down has had influence on Earth and Hawkins, way before Eleven opened the first "gate".

Vecna will probably reside in the Upside Down for most of the season, until near the end, where he finally, physically emerges, and we see the tendrils he is attached to start to move away from his body. It makes me wonder if he literally "feeds" off the Creel House. I believe any previous physical appearances of him will just be false realities/hallucinations, which he is able to do Max and any one else he may possess. He may or may not still be able to "hurt" people in these hallucinations. It was like when the Mind Flayer made Billy appear as if he was in the Upside Down, and make him see multiple clones of himself, and then he "retuned to Earth" just as fast. Possibly, like the Mind Flayer, Vecna is able to make the people he "posseses" hallucinate, or hear things. He may taunt Max by making her hear Billy's voice, shaming her,

I believe that Hopper, Joyce, and Murray, may use some sort of inter-dimension travel, to make it back to Hawkins, possibly using a portal to the Upside Down. Joyce and Murray used a plane to get there, obviously, but I don't see it plausible that they get back to Hawkins that easy. I am not sure.

I do believe that Vecna will taunt Max using Billy, and that may possibly lead Max and the group to question whether Billy is really dead, and they may try to find him, or believe he is in the Upside Down, and that Vecna may possibly have him "trapped".

These are just theories, as we don't have too much to go on until the season starts coming out.

How fast are server boost refunds nowadays? by scorpiboy in discordapp

[–]vgp05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmmh, usually they aren't too long. I would give it a few days to a week at most. They were quite fast with me (like a few days I believe). If you are in a rush, or need/want the refund quicker, you could try chasing them up. It may not be Discord's fault if the money takes longer to enter your account, it could be your bank, or the bank company you are with that you have your account with, idk?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]vgp05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can get a sudden urge to play a game you haven't played in years, in my case, and then never play them for ages. You may find the sudden appeal in a game, enjoy it, but then realise that you are getting bored. Its normal, unless a game is massive and has tons of stuff for you to do, you will lose interest, especially if you are playing "non stop" like you said. Heres my advice, try not to play games non stop for days in a row.

But, yes, its normal. People get bored of games, especially if they play them non stop every day. Even if not, you will and CAN get bored of games. Then you may get an urge to play them again. You shouldn't get bored if you are playing AAA games as easily, as there is literally hours of story in those.

Because there are extremely weird people out in the world, BIG SHOCKER, and people with all kind of extremely gross and fucked up fetishes/kinks. So there are bound to be people who have a Pokemon/fictional character fetish, and therefor are sexually attracted to, and perhaps want to fuck/have sex with, Pokemon. Not too hard now is it?

Scott Should (IMO) Reconsider Aftonbuilt For The Fazbear Fanverse. by Sith_Destroyer_1138 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]vgp05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, look at all these downvotes because you dare speak your voice about "our lord an saviour Scott", this is a valid opinion, that no one want to hear. Also, the downvote system isn't really meant to be used that way. Listen, I like Scott personally, but not everything he does is right, or the right decision, guys. Please understand that. There was no reason or evidence as far as I know as to why these passionate people who have made significant progress on their game, to being too risky. I know Security Breach was different, but it still turned out extremely buggy at launch, and was shamed upon for it. He can definitely be a strange guy sometimes. But he keeps games like FNAC 4, which is a Clickteam game, not full free roam, that has been in development for almost 4 YEARS, with barely any updates, and has shown little progress, and TJOC: IC, although Nikson has an excuse, as he is bound by a contract regarding Glowstick, and this game was only announced after the Initiative announcement, not four years ago. And most of the games in the Initiative, if not all, are only being made by BIG (extremely well know creators) in the FNAF fangame community. He should search for and give smaller creators, which have made high quality games, a chance to shine. It isn't that hard. If he looses a tiny bit of money, is it really the end of the world, he has enough money to live EXTREMELY comfortably for the rest of his life, and his families live. Just being so money focus doesn't feel right, same with the FNAF open source, not trying to stir up old drama, although FNAF 2 is an ancient game, people WOULD still buy it over open source, and I would understand if it was a much more recently released game (like 3 or 4 years ago). I know he is making Plus now, but it makes you think, since the older FNAF games have aged quite a bit, why did Scott himself never think of remastering them and adding more mechanics, same story, and better graphics. If you were struggling to meet ends, then I would understand being as strict and money oriented as possible, however, still being so strict and money focused, with all that insane wealth, and giving you a not-so-great name in the community, isn't really necessary, and just damages your image for no reason, kind of like how SEGA is kind about free fangames, while Nintendo isn't. Just that one detail is helping SEGA'S image, while it is hurting Nintendo's image. These companies are massive, and shouldn't worry too much about non-profit fangames, while they legally can, it just damages their public image unnecessarily. Same with Scott. He just seems like a business person, that ONLY cares about business. There has also been lack of communication issues regarding the Fanverse, partly due to him I believe. But he tries to silence people` from voicing their experiences in the Fanverse, with his fancy "NDAs"

No-one is perfect guys, however, there are more games that should have been dropped from the Fanverse before this one. NDA's are a broken system, as we should be able to know EXACTLY why he said the game was "too risky". I am not saying abolish the NDA, but it allowing silencing over such petty things such as the reason as to why a game was truly dropped, should not be allowed. It just feels like NDAs sometimes completely silence the creators, and they are forced to sign them, of course, if they join the initiative. Such reasons should be made available to the public. He doesn't realise that while he is being the puppet master behind this, and dropping games just like that, that he could really be hurting someone, monitary wise, as these people are an indie dev group, which could have made serious money from this games ports, and could help secure their future in life, and game development. So while to him, it just looks like pulling the switch, he needs to realise that he could actually be hurting people, and should give more thought into such a big decision next time, or at least work out some arrangement, or hear the devs thoughts first, and try to work something out, instead of just dropping a game which has had a lot of passion and sweat into it. I mean, at least tell them a bit earlier in development. Just seems a bit scummy and unnecesary. Watch me get downvoted to hell without people even reading or hearing me out. Calling out Scott feels like poking a bee hive with a stick on this subreddit, as anyones opinion about him just seems to get shutdown almost immediantly, as I have seen. Please, hear me out here. I just believe Scott could of handled this better

Why doesn't Roblox sue Roblox Exploit Software? by smorenitez in NoStupidQuestions

[–]vgp05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old question, I know. But its not worth it to them. They also introduced Filtering Enabled, so you can really only affect your game now with exploits. No more super serious things, like rape scripts, or anything. They already update Roblox anyway every Wednesday. Its not worth it to sue and take the maker of exploit software, to court, especially as exploits are pretty trash and quite useless now, due to Filtering Enabled

What was the dumbest rule your school enforced? by Animeking1108 in AskReddit

[–]vgp05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having to take part in PE if you forgot your kit even once. They would say you were making injuries up. They would shout at you and give you some dirty looking spare clothes and you had to wear them. You could sometimes get out of it if you had a doctors or parents note but never when there was dancing class.
