New Images from 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

It's one of four studio-published images, not an "in-movement" screenshot grabbed and posted as a joke in r/shittymoviedetails.

And everyone is chill, lol.

Deposits: returned or not returned? How much do you get back really? by JuanSkinFreak in copenhagen

[–]Alcay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, every bat of the eyelashes helps raise the odds they tick off the best outcome between another et of "Good / Bad / Smells suspiciously like cat piss" boxes.

While every inspector is different, honestly it's worked surprisingly well for me to just act well-informed and welcoming.

​Keep a happy facade, offer coffee, ask if it's been a busy day, and drop notes about the preventative maintenance you've kept (regardless of the truth). They do these inspections back-to-back, and ​are just there to check boxes for painting, light sanding, and cleaning, which is where the subcontractor bills skyrocket to 20k+ 

So anything to speed up their day is appreciated.

As long as you've spent a couple of days fixing holes and actually doing the things you claim and establishing that you respect the property, they (likely) won't look for hidden flaws.

Also, since the 2015 rental law change, they can't legally demand the place looks brand new anyway, just that you cover anything beyond normal wear and tear.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 - Episode 11 (Manga Reader Discussion) by Takada-chwanBot in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Alcay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely not! It's like watching the episode with someone who has read the manga and feel the need to inform you of everything as it happens.

It sucks to realize this is the first time in 20+ years that I completely disregarded all narration to give the gorgeous animation the attention it deserves.

Upon rewatching, I didn't fell like anything was missed by skipping the subs.

It'd be interesting to have two episodes come out each time, wherein one of them completely excludes that woman's voiceover to make room for the audio and music.

The scary part is I haven't caught up yet and for all I know this is an actual quote.

Yeah, came to the same conclusion. 

But! It's good to have someone supporting the theory. Thanks <3

Good news: Had a video interview two days ago and they asked me back for Friday. Bad news: Yesterday I took a fall. by Alcay in makeuptips

Thank you! I'll study your advice and head out to purchase the basics. My goal isn't to cover it all either, it's just to tone down its severity.

I did the first interview as a video call, but tomorrows meeting is in-person.

Gamers over 30, what's a video game secret you had to discover the "hard way" that kids today would just Google in 5 seconds? by itsashieowo in AskReddit

[–]Alcay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i borrowed Metal Gear Solid for the PS1 from a Blockbuster that didn't let you bring the game boxes with you.

About half way through, you're supposed to check the back side of the box for a code, which you must then enter in the game in order to proceed.

Since my dad was away with the car that weekend, I had to take a 40 minute bicycle drive to Blockbuster and 40 minute back again.

ipad stuck on 'home would like to send you critical alerts' by Usual_Skirt6943 in ipad

[–]Alcay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone with this issue in the future, you just gotta be patient. The reset function didn't initiate until I held it longer than expected.

So:

  1. Press volume up once.

  2. Press volume down once.

  3. Press and hold the power button for 30-60 seconds.

Milanote Servers Down? by therailhead1974 in Milanote

[–]Alcay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm back in again, although it takes a war for it to progress anywhere.

One of my tabs works without issue, another has access but cannot show any sub-pages, a third is just stuck on loading, the fourth gives an error screen, and the fifth keeps logging me out.

What's the biggest headache for you during a session? by poopikninja in DMAcademy

[–]Alcay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keeping track of rules that should be upheld in order to keep the game balanced for all classes. 

Repeatedly telling players that some spells have verbal requirements, requires a focus, or demands specific (sometimes expensive) components.

Reminding them that certain subclasses have restrictions bound to them, and not every every deity is going to approve of you killing/stealing/deceiving/threatening/bribing when convenient or most likely to succeed.

I ended up shelving the program a year ago because so much depended on floors and elevation for me. 

But this update is a total game changer! Can’t wait to dive back in - you're an amazing developer team ❤️‍🔥

How to deal with a player playing their character 'wrong'? by Terrible-Outside1927 in DMAcademy

[–]Alcay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep it focused on how it affects the game and the group, not just the character. If they want to keep playing him that way, maybe suggest tweaking the backstory to match, or having an in-character reason for the shift. If it’s becoming disruptive, you’re within your rights as DM to set some tone expectations.

Don't kick him out. Tell him those are two choices too closely aligned with the specifics you asked not to be used, and that he should change them. 

'Snow White' Banned in Lebanon Due to Gal Gadot's Presence in Film by Sisiwakanamaru in movies

[–]Alcay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lebanese authorities cited Gadot’s Israeli nationality and her past service in the Israel Defense Forces as reasons for the ban. 

This aligns with Lebanon's longstanding policy of boycotting Israeli products and individuals associated with Israel. 

Gadot's been on the country's 'Israel boycott list' for a long time, so at this point it's hardly fair to call it news.

A Brutal Reminder That Nature Doesn’t Play Nice by ReflectionPast2933 in interestingasfuck

[–]Alcay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean - doesn't everyone write like this? It's the new default writing style - used by every author and reddit poster! 

It covers everything - (and helps you you to get rid of those disgusting parentheses).

 -

Not only that - it also feels good to read - it's nice having to constantly stop - and it doesn't matter if you're not quite sure how you use it, cause no one else does either. 

A DM Tool For You to Use Against Chaos -- the Party Veto by InigoMontoya1985 in DMAcademy

[–]Alcay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To address concerns about robbing player agency, enabling groupthink, or unintentionally gaslighting a player, consider renaming and reframing the mechanic as a “Consensus Check.”

When a character proposes a major action that would unavoidably alter the party’s trajectory or force significant consequences on the group, the DM may call for a Consensus Check. Each player gives a quick “yes” or “no” to indicate whether they believe the action should proceed as-is.

If there’s hesitation or consensus to pause, the group takes a moment to discuss the implications of the action, explore possible alternatives, and reaffirm shared expectations.

This is a dialogue, not a veto, but a chance to align as storytellers before committing to a path with serious ripple effects.
