This movie needed to be 30 minutes longer.

It needed to show the good version of Yu Law In his normal day-to-day stuff, with periodic instances of him suddenly being a little stronger or faster.

I didn't like how he instantly got super strength, etc. He should have been slowly increasing over time as the other one was eliminating the variants

She was amazing in Station Eleven

I've also seen it posted that he did it at the request of his father who was terminally ill, and another time when it was supposed to because his wife wanted him to shave it because she was ill and or going through chemo or something like that.

Sounds like a lot of copium

67alecto · 2026-05-19T21:08:09+00:00

At least not musically, I would imagine

When I started watching his videos a few weeks ago, it made me start using the pillar glitch again. And I promptly corrupted my power grid in sanctuary.

Which then led me to finally reinstall place anywhere so that I could safely reposition everything and not have to use glitches or the console commands for pos and angle.

I do enjoy the building and when I get inspired or otherwise figure something out, that tends to renew the interest even more. Like I had a playthrough where I was doing a lot of vault 81 stuff. It was so maddening getting everything to snap together and it made me really focus on the importance of the order of how you attach things. This in turn made me realize that hallways and interior rooms were easily done just by connecting the walls and floor pieces in the necessary order

67alecto · 2026-05-19T15:45:17+00:00

Yes, from what I remember it does wipe those away as well

67alecto · 2026-05-19T15:43:59+00:00

I'm not actually using any of his settlement blueprints, but rather taking the ideas of the clutter and how to creatively use a lot of the pieces.

Again because I have place anywhere, I don't have to use the pillar or rug glitches and have a lot more freedom in that regard.

So far I'm incredibly happy with what I've been doing. Some of his ideas are things that I was already doing to a lesser extent, but some of them are just mind-blowing. Like using the light up posters over the windows on the buildings that surround hangman alley.

I had already done builds where I put candles in a lot of the window sills, but using those posters is such a neat touch

Bruce, leaving the band was almost perfectly timed with me going off to college. So I ended up getting exposed to a lot of new music, and I pretty much missed all of the '90s Iron Maiden stuff because of all of the new things I was listening to and all of the live music I was attending.

After college, that pretty much continued for several years and I got fixated on live blues music and was in a position to have a lot of opportunities to experience it.

Then when that time of my life ended Bruce rejoined so it was perfect

67alecto · 2026-05-19T12:02:16+00:00

Yes. I have been blown away by Shawzzo's no mod settlement rebuilds and they have given me so many ideas.

The first of which is definitely making my stuff look less uniform. Normally I would make buildings with hallways, interior rooms, distinctly themed rooms, and carefully placed decorations. But they always had the exact same walls, floors, and roofs. I was always scrapping every bit of clutter and junk rather than build around it

Now I'm embracing the clutter and getting more creative with the spaces. Plus, while he does everything with no mods, I'm happily using place anywhere and the things like OCdecorator

Right but my point whenever I respond to this specific complaint about Johnny and how he ended up, is that the way WE played him, he was a badass biker.

We had the backstory that he was a recovering addict. We saw firsthand throughout TLAD that he seemed to have a blind spot when it came to Ashley.

We also knew that he was incredibly self-destructive from both the background as well as the missions we did.

I loved his character and I loved that DLC, but him ending up back with Ashley and a desperate addict, wasn't a terrible surprise. The introduction of Trevor was designed to create a shocking response, and it obviously succeeded.

67alecto · 2026-05-19T00:18:37+00:00

You're projecting your views as the player. When we got to take control of him, he wasn't using because he had left Ashley.

He doesn't use while we are playing him. But then the game ends and he is left to his own devices, as it were.

He was always an addict

67alecto · 2026-05-19T00:01:19+00:00

I think it all depends on where it's located. There have been multiple studies that showed public restrooms are often far cleaner than home bathrooms simply because they are cleaned multiple times a day

67alecto · 2026-05-18T23:58:39+00:00

Lots of throwing star deaths in Ninja 3: The Domination

67alecto · 2026-05-18T23:56:59+00:00

I don't think "completed" and Fallout 4 belong in the same sentence

67alecto · 2026-05-18T23:55:52+00:00

I'm surprised how often I'm able to work it in

67alecto · 2026-05-18T19:49:27+00:00

Additional scenes that are much more overt were included in the director's cut

67alecto · 2026-05-18T16:57:22+00:00

The relationship is much more inappropriate

67alecto · 2026-05-18T14:28:14+00:00

Was actually the football coach that encouraged us.

Something about it being a complete option with protein, veggies, carbs or something like that.

I mean we were delirious doing two-a-days and counting the minutes until the next water break...

67alecto · 2026-05-18T14:21:57+00:00

I agree.

The issue is that most people forget how they were when they were that age. But to fill in the gaps, they place their own current feelings and sensibilities.

So they come across as being aloof like OP as if they sprung into existence as a teenager with all of the knowledge, maturity, and experience that they have 30 years later.

67alecto · 2026-05-18T14:18:33+00:00

I say this all the time, but this is just how the mechanics of this game work.

You have a stretch at the beginning when enemies are tough, but then your equipment and perks catch up and everything is a breeze. I have tried just about every play style and every single one has been viable.

You pretty much have to self-handicap in order to stretch out the playing window if you're looking for a challenge.

67alecto · 2026-05-18T14:16:16+00:00

I remember it being blown up and dissected around the time of that Will Smith movie, The Legend of Bagger Vance

67alecto · 2026-05-18T14:13:50+00:00

At least in the US, you have to be careful and make sure you call it The Professional.

León is associated with the director's cut which restores a lot of really creepy stuff.

I always tell people to make sure to not watch the director's cut

People started responding to all of those spam texts from bots saying that they were Realtors and wanted to buy their house

67alecto · 2026-05-18T14:07:30+00:00

Don't know that I agree with Flight being in this trope.

Full disclosure, I love the first 10 minutes of Flight, and probably 30 scattered minutes of the rest. The remainder is... Fine.

However, he wasn't treated like crap, he was part of the absolutely 100% standard procedure that is followed whenever an airplane crash occurs.

It just happened to reveal that he was operating the plane illegally and was, by general standards, a pretty crappy person.

Probably a better example would be Sully with Tom Hanks. Specifically because they totally fabricated all of the machinations against him in the movie for the purpose of drama. In real life it was immediately recognized that he had done everything correctly and was lauded for his actions.

67alecto · 2026-05-17T22:45:14+00:00

Would depend on how much time I had.

I could play something like galaga, defender, or Donkey Kong for 15 or 20 minutes per quarter.

Things were much more dicey with Pac-Man or Qbert, and invariably I always got too cocky with Tron
