Reddit was awesome. It’s sad what became of it. Jumped ships that took me to Lemmy-kbin Land!

I love games, gamification and chat roleplaying, socializing with people, volunteering, different lists and difficult topics!

    Hmm. Depends probably on do you leave the knives out, have paper/cardboard/plastic knives or real fighter knives with the costume!

    An easier Halloween costume is Ghostface. No trousers and a shirt/jacket but a robe.
    My friend drew the outline of the knife he uses in the movie in cardboard and I added many layers, getting a nice, thicker cardboard knife!

    Lol wut?
    Are you implying that the movie is terrible?

    Obviously because I enjoy the movie and because I want to share my annual watching ritual with her 😂

    .

    I don’t like or dislike those scenes any more or less than the rest of the movie. When concerning the movie’s plot - the torture you mentioned has a function that builds the character further in a certain direction. It also determines what will happen next. Just like what any other scene would do.

    I also point out just in case that I don’t approve torture.

    Buying a (premium) service to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
    Do you have the money? Do you get enough kicks out of the money you would be spending? Do you know the pros and cons of subscribing/going in a service (what will they provide for the money spent?)? Do you want to support the service - even so far to provide them money? You need to provide additional data of yourself to make the purchase and may even need to learn how to do it - are you ready for that?

    Getting an (ad-blocking) extension to a browser to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
    Do you know how to start using extensions in browsers and what to do if you need to troubleshoot them? Is it free (are paid extensions even a thing? I don’t recall seeing one)? Can you support someone you would want to support with a ad-blocker (some decent folks who make good content may be in need of the money they get from ads, but then again, there’s a chance you can send them money through other means)? Are you supporting a service that has an built-in feature that annoys you (in this case, providing ads for the users to see), endorsing such behavior (even more) even though you cannot see those ads yourself?

    Both options may require research. Both options are influenced by other people and by their opinions. Both options have their pros and cons. Both options have consequences.

    .

    I don’t buy any subscriptions. I wouldn’t have the money for that and I have bad experiences of them.
    I can support someone with a grateful comment or sharing their content to others.
    I myself stick with the ad-blocking services.

    But don’t let me influence you with what/how I do it 😉 Make up yer own mind and act accordingly.










  • I haven’t tested these, but for ideation:

    • Use the worst weapon/tool/car through the game
    • Do not use stat points through the game
    • Only stealth
    • Only guns blazing
    • Sleep when it’s night (unless you’re a night owl but then sleep during the day)
    • Do chores in the game that a human needs to do in real life (spend time in the bathroom, pretend to shower, take a walk outside etc)
    • Choose, do you handle the character’s movement or attacking. A friend/spouse does the other option
    • Take off some extra brightness
    • No potions/boosters/upgrades
    • No fast traveling
