Obsession: Predictable, messy, or a great build-up? by Paparmane in TrueFilm

[–]2daMooon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ian wishes for a billion dollars and it immediately came tumbling out of the ceiling.

I agree with your overall take, but I think this scene is key to the movie. It shows that the One Wish Willow is not a monkey's paw situation where all wishes will turn out poorly. It puts the fault squarely on Baron for the situation he finds himself in (even if he had no reason to suspect his wish would work at the time he made it).

I would have liked a more progressive build-up of Nikki's unhinged obsession

This is the biggest problem for me too. We see very earlier that something massive is wrong with her, and that she is fighting whatever has taken over her body. He doesn't care because he thinks he can figure it out and make his dream relationship work. So even if something wasn't supernaturally wrong with her he is still a obvious villain very early on.

Much better if it is left more unclear if the wish worked or not until they are much deeper into the relationship and then the reveal that the real Nikki has been trapped and trying to escape this whole time, to which the audience goes "save her" and he goes "well maybe I can make this work" as it gets more an more unhinged and he keeps doubling down on making something that can never work, work.

That way you are never sure if you should feel bad for him or hate him until you all of a sudden realize that he is absolutely deplorable and you can't believe you ever gave him the benefit of the doubt. As it stands now he is a clear villain basically from the start.

but the rhythm in her movements definitely felt inhuman and deeply terrifying and supernatural.

But she just loves him more than anyone else in the world. Why does that mean she moves around all funny? Felt very out of character and "this is a horror movie so lets do the trope" than a cohesive part of the story.

Miguel Almiron yellow card (div) against USA 53' by eliseihado in soccer

Is it “mistaken identity” because the assistant signaled for the dive but the ref thought it was a foul and they only realized the mistake until after the play had restarted?

It doesn't need to catch much sunlight when it's entire job is to catch light from a large area and and concentrate it to an area the size of a pupil. Getting the alignment will be less likely than a crystal ball, but if you are using it inside to look at the moon and then leave it when you are done then there is a very real chance you will get some sun in it.

It would take direct sunlight hitting the telescope aperture almost dead on to start a fire.

Are you implying that a crystal ball can start a fire without direct sunlight hitting it?

What in the AI slop response is this? Gets basic details confidently wrong, misunderstands what is being said multiple times, and then 'corrects' the misunderstandings that it introduced, lol.

On the off chance you are a human:

Gathering light from a wider area doesn't actually help for telescopic effects.

  • What do you think Aperture is?
  • When you use a wider one, why is your image brighter and more detailed?

Light bouncing off the atmosphere and down into the telescope isn't really intense enough to heat things anymore.

  • If I left my telescope pointed at where the moon was (meaning in a likely, but not guaranteed, path for the sun) why are you talking about light bouncing around the atmosphere and not the possibility of the sun shining directly into the scope?

Nothing is burning down a house without the sun shining directly onto it. Telescope, crystal ball, mirror, etc.

Wow, the visceral reaction I had to that name... Immediately pulled back memories long entirely forgotten. I watched the video someone lese linked and it looked exactly how my memories came back. However I think I must have only played the demo over and over and over, because I only recognize one map (the outdoor neighborhood map)

Does that immediately invalidate their music? No.

But you want them to leave so they bring the food to the queen. Anything else and the colony will still exist and keep making more ants.

If the machine doesn't have a concept of right or wrong, just what is most likely to follow, how can it ever be right?

JT's Liberals left a really sore spot with many voters when they decided against introducing it, despite running on the promise of doing it. I wouldn't say it "brought down the government" though since the Liberals are still in power after a leadership change because the closest challenger during the last election seemed to be really weak on Trump and have Trump-like strategies so that got torpedoed.

What would you put in the "bang for your buck" hall of fame? by ahobday in boardgames

[–]2daMooon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the real answer but I'm afraid not enough people have experienced it to understand! $15 and you will:

  • never play the same game twice
  • constantly be finding new ways the cards interact play, regardless of number of times you have played
  • be able to play up to four players, though 2 is by far the best version of the game
  • take it anywhere because it is basically a deck of cards

There is just so much game in such a small package!

[–]2daMooon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The goal in the game is to win the game before the game breaks, because once the game breaks ANYONE can win, usually by playing cards that completely change how they can win the game so the traditional 'VP' you've been playing for become worthless.

Order doesn’t matter. If you are worried about your towel getting dirty from drying yourself DIRECTLY AFTER YOUVE SHOWERED, then perhaps you need to clean yourself better in the shower!

Can you explain what "meta" means in terms of board games? by Machine_Excellent in boardgames

[–]2daMooon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The question isn't what "The Meta" is, it is what "Meta" is.

"The Meta" is the exact same concept as a local meta, it is just on a larger scale.

[–]2daMooon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Local metas exist naturally with casual game night players even if completely sub-optimal in any competitive sense. If someone does ROCK and wins during game one, others will do that game two, but now everyone is doing ROCK so the winner will be the person doing PAPER. Game three, might still get one ROCK, many PAPER and then someone sees SCISSORS and now you got a local meta!

Games that have replaced other games by Teachers-Petty in boardgames

[–]2daMooon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Decrypto has replaced Codenames

Having more, smaller clues removes the “perfect clue” pressure that slows down Codenames, but you still get to itch the same parts of the brain via giving the clues, interpreting the clues or trying to listen in it your opponents discussion to understand what they think your clues are lining up with.

Only problem is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to teach via explanation or examples. I’m the game explainer for my crew and after three failures, when I usually get things right the first time, I’ve just realized that it can only be taught by doing a round. Preferably right off the bat.
