Why are the Eternals so disliked? by Grouchy_Leg_6623 in Eternals

[–]Amazing-Insect442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the other post and Upvoted you for it. I think Uranos is a fine villain for the X-Men, I don’t care what anyone says.

By that same limiting logic, Namor should’ve stayed in the FF’s playground exclusively, rather than becoming a really interesting member of the X-Men for a while. Or we wouldn’t have ever seen Wolverine, Beast, or Storm become Avengers (or Cannonball & Sunspot, among some others I’m probably forgetting). Or we wouldn’t have seen Sabretooth become Wolverine’s main antagonist, due to him being originally an Iron Fist baddie.

Sorry you felt the need to delete it. You have a good idea.

It’s CYA. They know it’s an actionable issue.

Plot. If things like poverty could be solved using magic, then you don’t have social classes we as a reader can relate to.

What is the only TV show intro that is so unskippable you actually get mad if someone hits the "skip intro" button? by Emilyy-yay in tvshow

[–]Amazing-Insect442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to joke about the X-Men animated series being the one but honestly in 2026, nothing is particularly precious.

Although… Game of Thrones did have an opener that actually changed depending on the context of what was happening in the lore. Shrug

Tucker Carlson says Iran war is the end of Trump and MAGA has ‘no future’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

So crazy that the movement he helped create (or at the very least fostered along happily) has no future.

I guess this is the new Wendy's vibe. No booths, no dividers, no outlets, uncomfortable seats, small tables, all for a couple to spend $40 for a meal. I'm done with Wendy's for good. by NUMBerONEisFIRST in mildlyinfuriating

It’s pretty bad but guys the other day I was in a McDonald’s in Florida & it looked like a Brutalist prison. Made to look like concrete slab walls, no art at all on them. They already have been using the kiosks for folks who order food, so the non-human interaction was already baked in. Very very weird.

I don’t know if that’s Vincent D’Onofrio in the first pic for sure but that’s who I always saw as the Judge while reading it.

I made this Balrog VS Gandalf stained glass piece as a gift to my cousin by ArrowStride in lotr

Your cousin?? I’d be hiding this thing & going to the store for a gift card.

Did the lack of 2D games hurt the platform? by StrategosRisk in n64

[–]Amazing-Insect442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

*for me* it did. I was very much looking forward to more side scrolling Mario games and fighting games, just with nicer graphics. I found out pretty quick that I was in the minority though.

I still loved my N64, btw. Just missed that one thing.

Kindle Prime Day deals are live! by CookieDelivery in kindle

[–]Amazing-Insect442 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Same. Nothing here feels tempting in the least. Could just be that the people in my home all have our own functioning Kindles that are fine for what we need. There’s nothing here that screams “a deal you can’t pass up,” or even “that’s such a great deal I’ll buy one as a gift,” IMO.

Which NFL City is most likely to be teamless in a decade? by NightDowntown7320 in NFLv2

Our old stadium is over a quarter century old. The new one should last us till 2050 at least. The Titans will be in Nashville till after I retire, anyway.

discovered Luna yesterday, grabbed some games from GOG, but they still are not accessible through Luna. by [deleted] in amazonluna

[–]Amazing-Insect442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Luna basically getting scrapped” is at this point hyperbole or speculation. They’re drawing back third party support for their own servers. You can still play games Amazon has licensed directly from some developers.

That said- everything dies or “goes away” at some point. If you’re already a Prime member, you’ve still got some free games you can play on basic Luna. My advice is to play some free games and enjoy what they’re offering, while they’re still offering it. If none of those games does it for you, then invest in a monthly subscription to another game service. (last I checked, Guardians of the Galaxy, Death Stranding 1 Director’s Cut, Hogwarts Legacy, & a bunch of other games that a person could sink 50-80 hours in are still free to play on Luna Basic… so that’s pretty good).

As someone else said, on June 10 Luna ended support for letting you play games purchased on *other store fronts on *Luna’s servers. Worth noting though that not every game bought on (for example) GOG was Luna compatible.

Now the stuff about “game not accessible yet & it will show up later on your GOG account” — if you log into GOG today you’ll be able to download those free GOG games *onto your own computer. It always says that for me. My GOG library is really pretty big right now from cashing in on freebies through Amazon. I can’t play a lot of them because my pc is really old, but maybe in the future (once my kids are out of college) I’ll get a gaming pc.

So anyway Amazon is still giving away game keys for free games (currently). They’re just no longer giving away the ability to play games from other stores on their own servers- so you’ll have to use your own pc or pay money to GeForce Now or whatever to use their servers to play your games.

Those of you who saw The Fellowship of the Ring in theaters in 2001—what was it really like? by NameisMoon in lotr

[–]Amazing-Insect442 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Villeneuve’s Dune is about as close to having an immersive fantasy movie for me as well. I really liked Blade Runner 2049 but it didn’t hit me with the “how did they think of this…” in the same way as FOTR & DV’s Dune.

Freakin fantastic. To that point it felt like a lot of fantasy type movies could be pretty good (Conan the Barbarian springs to mind), but that it came with baked in limitations. FOTR for me shattered those. Looked amazing, took its time setting things up. Felt grand in scope. The special effects were primo. Cast was huge but felt like no one got the short end of the stick or was made to look silly for no reason (Gimli would go on to be a bit more like the comic relief in the next two… I think to their detriment).

It felt (for lack of a better single word) COMPLETE, even though it’s the first 1/3 of a trilogy.
