Honestly I think we can just call them "subs" like we did on Reddit. "Sublemmy" sounds clunky but sub still works and we all know what it means.

Superfluous remasters are one thing, but Bloodbourne desperately needs one. I have 2,000+ hours across all of From's games but I can't put more than 30 minutes into Bloodbourne before the FPS issues are too irritating for my eyes to keep playing (not hyperbole).

Fixing that alone would be huge, but porting to PC and giving it the full DSR treatment (QoL + GFX upgrades) on top of that is guaranteed to make enormous profit.

I often got downvoted because bUt It'S sO cUtE, hOw CaN yOu HaTe CuTe AnImAlS.

I'm glad I'm not alone there lmao. I subbed to nearly every pet sub there was, and over half of them were dominated by either bots or idiots who didn't understand what the topic was.

Then actual users would get so offended on behalf of the animal but all I was saying was the content is off-topic.

I think they're getting at the bot problem. They steal and repost cat pics to any and all cat subs regardless of if it's relevant to the sub.

I just want somewhere that won't even show me new episodes until an unghosted version is released. I primarily watch anime for the animation, so blurred and darkened frames really ruin it for me.

(TL;DR): I love being terrified, and this has led me to a fascination with imagining being a witness to / a victim of various tragedies. Is that weird?


The earliest example I can remember of wanting to know what it was like to be a victim of a tragedy was when I first learned what happened on 9/11. We were visiting my grandma, and she was watching a documentary about it. That's the first time I had seen the footage and heard an explanation of it all, and I was still a child (like way too young to be processing what I was seeing), but I was fascinated by it. Even after everyone had left the room to hang out on the porch, I stayed in the living room to watch more. I wanted to know everything, but most of all I wanted to know what it was like to be there. Both as a witness and a victim.

To this day, I would pay good money to get hooked up to something like Roy from Rick and Morty so I could safely experience it without knowing I was safe. And I'd like to choose as many perspectives as I want. From the hijackers, to the people on the directly impacted floors, the people on floors adjacent to the impact, the people who jumped, the people who were outside and witnessed the crashes and collapses, the people who were trapped on the upper floors and remained inside during the collapse...

Besides 9/11, others at the top of the list are things like mass shootings, earthquakes and other natural disasters, catastrophic workplace accidents (mostly explosions), the sinking of the Titanic, Hiroshima/nuclear testing sites, other war related events, various atrocities committed by/against mankind (like the torture committed by the CIA against people suspected of being involved in the 9/11 attacks), the Heaven's Gate mass suicide, a significant portion of Charles Manson's life... It's a mix of wanting the experience and curiosity about the stories/information that never made it into public knowledge.

I don't have a death wish or anything, it's just for some reason I have a fascination with terror. I love getting sleep paralysis and having nightmares, and I feel a weird sense of catharsis when I wake up and realize I'm safe. My favorite ones are when I'm utterly convinced I'm going to die. Even as a kid I loved terrifying shows (like Courage the Cowardly Dog and Mr.Meaty), and as a teenager it evolved into broader consumption of surrealist art, and then I started watching Live Leak videos where I got a more realistic sense of terror. I watched all of the Bjork stalker's tapes, which, if you aren't familiar, they end with him shooting himself after mailing a letter bomb to her. Knowing he filmed his suicide was what piqued my interest, but I also wanted to get into his head so I started from tape #1.

How weird is all of this? Any psychological explanations/speculations about why I'm like this? (And are there any other subs I should ask this in?)

Douglas Adams was such a brilliant writer. He was taken from us far too soon

Unusual kind of post but still religious cringe:

After I finished helping someone I said "have a good day" and walked away, but then she said "you see no god?" Which was confusing before I realized what she was talking about lol. After a second I said "oh yeah haha, I thought it was cute." And she responds with "well I have a good god."

I just said "okay" and walked away again. But I wish I would've asked her if she seriously thought I worshiped a dog with a cone on its head lol.

This is the third time I've gotten a negative comment on my shirt at work. I'm not even anti-religion, I just thought a dog that had to get a cone juxtaposed with him saying he's a god was funny.

If you report it, yes. When this happened to me, (paraphrasing) they begged me in the text chat to not report them because they'd risk getting suspended.

To be fair, I was working customer service at the time but they still gave my food to a completely different store. And you gotta report it to get your order redelivered or refunded, so I did it anyways. Their English was awful and I'm sure that was how they ended up at the wrong store, but if this is happening often enough that they get suspended... That's not on me 🤷‍♀️

My sister did DoorDash deliveries and she'd steal food if the customer did the default tip or less. She got a few free meals out of it, but she's banned from dashing now lol.

Here's the single sentence you're looking for out of this several-paragraph long AI generated article:

They changed Bender's career chip to read "chainsaw juggler" instead of "prime minister of Norway" because of a terrorist attack on the actual prime minister of Norway, which works better because Bender had his dismembered arm.
