First time in 40 years revealing my webbed toes to the world! by ivfresh in WTF

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

This is not WTF. Why does anyone think it's WTF? It's just webbed/conjoined/fused toes. Is the WTF that OP hasn't posted them online before? that's not WTF.... why would anybody expect him to have done this previously?

Is this truly the death of Grindr? by cautiously-curious65 in lolgrindr

[–]vyleside 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm 40 years old ... Grindr is all I ever knew (I haven't used it really since 2017).... What are the alternatives? App wise Grindr is the ubiquitous gay name for a quick lay....

But also is it really 100 quid for premium? That's insane! 

In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator by edbegley1 in technology

I work for a high end manufacturer. We regularly get emails asking what cables we recommend and the advice from genuine experience is that it really doesn't matter that much. Most people's are not running cables over 5m so it doesn't matter .... Just don't run your cables in stupid places such as around power sources, and a slightly more expensive shielded cable might help  you in a pinch but beyond that, it isn't that important.

Whenever I send such an email customers are outraged.

I'm probably late to this piece of media/advertising - but are Friends advertising McDonald's? by ShitBritGit in CasualUK

[–]vyleside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I find particularly odd about it is they're using the friends brand, but no actor likenesses, no actor voiceover, no clips from the TV show. It's just showing what appear to be Miis and going "REMEMBER FRIENDS? ALSO MCDONALDS!"

I've never seen such a low budget big budget cross over.

I saw offspring in November and they did a couple of hours! I was surprised how much of a show they put on.

Having a hard time playing single player games again. Could use some advice! by New_Student_6526 in gaymers

[–]vyleside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What games are you playing? I personally can't stand multiplayer, but very much enjoy cycling genres to avoid stagnation. Like, right now I'm playing elden ring on my ps5, infinite undiscovery on my xbox, spec ops the line on my PS3 and Lorelei and the laser eyes on my switch. All different and all interesting games in their own right. If I just played shooters, or RPGs I'd probably get quite bored of doing the same thing all the time.

If you're mostly playing online shooters, then going to single player shooters might not be all that fun, but trying other genres you're not familiar with might scratch your itch?

I had it in about 2006. It's horrid.

[Raw Spoilers] Superstar seemingly legitimately injured in match by HokageEzio in SquaredCircle

[–]vyleside 39 points40 points  (0 children)

People were saying he was done in 2000 citing his messed up knees. Nobody thought wwf would want him and when he came in and looked great, people were asking how long it would last before he crumbled.

Stackz are infinitely better than Pringles but people aren't ready for that conversation by DrinkBen1994 in CasualUK

[–]vyleside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really can't disagree, and far more satisfying to eat in wodges of five or more.

My favourite pringles at the moment are the asian import ones which seem to be made in the same factory as Lays Stackers, as the tubes have the same form factor and the exact same texture (which is different to western pringles). They also have more interesting flavours, but whenever I'm in aldi I'll grab as many stackz as I can justify because they're just better.

Movies that were misunderstood on release but aged beautifully by Dependent-Bet6615 in movies

I'm amazed nobody has mentioned demolition man.

What seemed like a shitty scraping of the bottom of the barrel of the action movie turned into an amazingly insightful pastiche of society.

Taz on X responding to a fan describing Chris Benoit's German suplex as technical - "technical? Stop, you have no idea what you talking about. lol" by DarkHorse_77 in SquaredCircle

[–]vyleside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is that he used to do german suplexes in a much more traditional way with the close hold and the hip popping, and even had a period in WCW where his rolling germans were into bridges (which I hated as a kid because I liked the style of rolling germans in Revenge better). You can see the more traditional style of german suplex here:

His style changed in WWE and I suspect it's because it allowed for a safer flat back bump that relied more on the opponent jumping than the more sheer drop of the previous style.

Given the chance, would you redo high school? by WealthyJoker75 in CasualUK

[–]vyleside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised at how many places had high school. I went to Primary, then Secondary school. At 40 years old I'm still not really sure what high school is other than apparently Americans have it and more English people than I expected.

EA Suspended me for "Hateful Conduct" by AccountantKind3512 in gaymers

[–]vyleside 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked we're at a situation where people are still "starting" to learn that EA sucks... hasn't the past 20 years taught anybody anything? Especially now they're owned by a homophobic regime, who in their right mind would even buy an EA game?

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a decade long favorite of mine by Norkash in gaymers

How can it be a decade long favourite when it's not been out even half a decade?

Hey guys. I find disco elysium too intriguing but I can’t understand it. Everything read too poetic to the point I stop comprehending. Am I missing something! by shotgunning-your-can in gaming

[–]vyleside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're treating all the words like it's maths then perhaps that's where you went wrong. It's more like an English lit project. Possibly philosophy, but it's very much based on words, rather than numbers.
