I’ve also been focusing on characters who aren’t talking during a scene but are part of the scene. It gets extra awkward when there is a large group. Eg. 8 main cast members on screen, one guy talking for 5 minutes without interruption and all 7 other members just stare at them. Those scenes start to feel really artificial when you look at the other characters who just stare and listen. It gets even worse if one or most of those characters is portrayed as an asshole. I’m here thinking like no fking way at least one person doesn’t cut into someone else’s dialog IRL.

Katana314,

It’s not quite the same thing, but I feel like not enough directors value the attention viewers give to the background.

Let’s say you have an animation, and plan a silly bit of slapstick where someone’s chasing a butterfly. Put it on shot, and it’s kind of over-focused on something rudimentary. But have two characters in the foreground, using 80% of the frame, conducting a boring conversation, and put that person with the butterfly in the background, and it’s ten times funnier because viewers feel a sense of ownership in being the one to “notice” it - even if the director knew fully well no one was focused on the conversation.

Kalinus, in Todd Howard can't write you a script for SSRIs, y'all. Go to the doctor.

Here’s hoping it can pull off a “No Man’s sky”?

We have that one. It’s a tiny indie gem called No Man’s Sky, and, get this, there’s no cutscene when you leave the planet!

I’ve been with the same place for about 16 years. I wasted a lot of time staying in one department trying to be the best employee. I’ve moved repeatedly just within the company. Because moving within the company is pretty easy to do. The yearly pay raises I was getting was garbage. By moving departments and renegotiating my pay I’ve effectively doubled my pay from 4 years ago.

When there’s no incentive to stay but all the reason to go…

Flip her onto her side and hold one of her legs upward. You’ll get compliments because it’s a bit athletic and does in fact feel deeper.

Important: try this only if you know she’s into being handled this way. She likely is if she’s saying things like that, but always make sure your partner enjoys stuff before adding it.

Details below.

How does it work?

It feels deeper to her because:

  1. the pelvic alignment improves penetration, mostly due to the thighs being out of eachother’s way
  2. you won’t slip into her fernix as easily, which increases lateral pressure in the vaginal canal
  3. generally she just feels you better at unexplored angles where she remains more sensitive to pressure, for a stronger feeling of fullness

Why does it work?

Is it because she thinks your pp is bigger? No, probably not. It works because you’re paying attention and being responsive, which makes your partner feel in control and taken care of. She’ll think of you next time she wants that, because she knows you’re good for it. Better sex, that is.

Anyway be safe, have fun, and quit worrying about your pp.

fossphi,

Thanks for the wisdom skeletor.

quit worrying about your pp

But how do I do this?

hubobes, in Taking for granted

I get what the market gets, we pay the average for your age, experience and some other factors. So I get a bump anyway since I am older and have more experience every year and when the market gets a bump that adds to that. So it is somewhere between 5-15% per year. Except for this year where somehow the average pay went down and I got zilch. Still the company is fully owned by its employees (I make like 3k a year from dividends, not a lot but it is basically free money) and the benefits are great. So not eager to jump ship just for a pay increase.

Fun fact: When I briefly worked in a funeral home, I learned that dead people just chilling on a table will sometimes look like they’re breathing. I’m not talking about actual movement, like fluids settling in the body or anything like that. It’s a sort of optical illusion. I guess the brain is used to seeing people breathing so it fills in the blanks. I experienced this illusion myself and so did others working there.

Demdaru,

I experienced this illusion myself and so did others working there.

…how many whacks with shovel it took to make sure it was an illusion?

We all have a different idea of what a high salary is but I would suggest anything in the area of $100k or the equivalent is good in almost any part of the world.

That said, I have a good salary which has risen by a little less than 65% in the 10 years I’ve been in the same job. I realise that’s not typical but changing jobs isn’t always the only way to a high salary.

Or the game is that bad that it causes depression and anxiety in most people playing it.

It’s a conspiration between Bethesda and big pharma /s

Yep, a medium sized youtuber that worked as HR said this to everyone that is looking for a raise: change company and come back.

I’ve heard it called “contemplative.” Which on its own sounds pretty cool.

Haven’t played it or watched any playthroughs or anything, though.

ChillDude69, (edited )

I guess there are parts of it that are kinda contemplative. When you get done blasting everyone who attacked you in a spaceship you boarded, or some space facility on an alien planet…and then you’re just alone in space? That’s kinda contemplative.

I suppose you could say the same thing about the Elder Scrolls or Fallout games. Action-RPG action, punctuated by walking around fairly atmospheric scenery.

Basically, if you don’t like relatively simplistic first-person-action-roleplaying game content, then you won’t like any of Bethesda’s games. As for the people who are bitching and moaning so much, I just don’t understand their perspective. It’s like they played a game of air hockey, then they were like “WELL, I THOUGHT THE PART WHERE THE PLASTIC PUCK FLOATED ON A CUSHION OF AIR WAS REALLY STUPID, I DIDN’T LIKE IT, I WANT MY MONEY BACK.”

In that case, motherfucker, there is NO WAY you could have gone into the situation, not expecting exactly what you got. Which is why I think a lot of these people are using games as a substitute for prescription drugs to treat their crippling chemical imbalance problems.

And don’t get me wrong: entertainment can boost your mood, if you’re not as far gone as these people are. Keeping people sane is indeed one of the main reasons for entertainment existing. But if you are in a mental state where you’re legitimately experiencing anhedonia, it’s not fair to blame the game developers for that shit.

It sucks but it’s true. These days, loyalty just means you’re easier to take for granted.

I assume everyone with a big beard has a weak chin, because they wouldn’t hide it if it was good.

Viking_Hippie,

Personally, I have a full beard and a strong chin. Problem is I also have an extra one of the latter.

SomethingBurger,

I have a weak chin and can’t grow a beard 🥲

I just have chubby cheeks that make me look 20 years younger if I shave

voidMainVoid,

And this is a problem?

flicker, (edited )

It is if you’re 14.

johannesvanderwhales,

I can’t really speak to the relative quality of my chin, but I’ll have you know I grow a beard because I’m too lazy to shave.

space_gecko,

While others grow a beard because we’ve lost everything on top and it’s at least a consolation prize.

jol, in I always expect the story to be resolved for some reason

That’s where Netflix learned TV series

Dra, in How could the EU do this??

I think people in this comment section seem to think people who voted to leave the EU are shaking their fists in rage, why would they be? The diagram also looks sus in terms of legality

kilgore_trout,

The map shows the actual proposal, I don’t know what possibly could look sus to you.

Dra,

I found the proposal - I thought the lines to Ireland were all proposed rail (despite encroaching the incorrect distance by sea) but its a rough diagram and those are water transport routes.

Looms fine to me though, there’s a path into Norway, and there’s a path into the UK.

What’s the big deal?
