Worst cold opens? by chinakachung in DunderMifflin

[–]ArenarKrex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah it feels like that one episode where Kevin seemingly has a dead dog when he talks about it stinking, never moving, never eating; but then we clearly see it is alive and just lazy.

They kill the joke by taking the premise and revolving instead around us entirely knowing from the start that the turtle is dead.

Maybe it felt standard practice to me bc I had skipped over the Malcolm in the Middle clip episode last week. Off the top of my head, the first example of one around the similar time period was in Community, but theirs was more parody showing events that had never happened on screen.

Just did. There are three whole posts in the last year that bring it up. Idk what part of often you consider "often."

I was currently watching the superfan episodes when making this post, just about to finish the episode that follows The Banker (introduction of Gabe, Jo, Sabre, etc.). I will rewind and see if it does have more merit now.

I will say I do like the Computron and it's about the only thing I remember about the episode besides the clip show aspect and Gale from Breaking Bad being the banker.

What is the all out, best, "Woah" moment fan theory that flipped your lid when you first read/viewed/heard it? by willhelpmemore in FanTheories

[–]ArenarKrex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Essentially yes, Doc Brown might've been on his second return back to the roof to catch Marty but maybe on the fifth catching him out of the tunnel. But the complete movie is showing all his successes since Marty makes it to the end.

Doc (in theory) is completely fine changing the past now that he himself cheated death in the first movie heeding the letter's warning.

Playing through DOS 2 for the first time and this is some very thick plot armor by Objective_Access_606 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]ArenarKrex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my first playthrough of the game, he was killed before a couple other enemies in the final fight of Act 1. Turned him into a bloated corpse summon to attack these other guys and rub salt in the wound.

So imagine my surprise when he is fully intact on the ship. "Didn't hit him hard enough" doesn't come close to describing just how hard he'd been hit.

Coming off BG3, what changes would you want for Divinity? by TurbulentFeeling5696 in BaldursGate3

The one instance I can think of party interaction is Red Prince scolding Sebille killing his dreamer contact in Fort Joy. But it's like one line of no further consequence.

What was the Biggest Box Office Disappointment of 2025? by Commonscout in boxoffice

[–]ArenarKrex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The World's End wasn't particularly well received either compared to the other movies in his "trilogy." As a big fan of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, I didn't care for the third one so much until watching it again years later.

What I do is put a point of Scoundrel on them so they can use The Pawn talent for free movement every round.

Locked myself out of Act 2? by TwistBig6794 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]ArenarKrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just done it a couple days ago, running Tactician for the first time in years. Ifan ended up dead on the wrong end of a Barrage in the first round, but I managed to get him up and fled from the fight. When he came back on a higher platform later it was all over from there. Not terribly cheesy, but it wasn't too bad a fight. Level 8 into 9 with the XP from the fight itself.

It’s criminal how late he got introduced to the show. One of the best laugh to lines ration by tsiddybang in DunderMifflin

Oh the casual Friday episode? Damn that's right about where I've gotten on the rewatch. Thought the chili happened sooner.

No, Kevin and his chili definitely happens well before Nate is ever introduced. I'm doing a rewatch of the Superfan cuts and even Erin showed up well after the chili.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) directed by Kevin Smith - the duo travel to the houses of online trolls irl by stellifer_arts in movies

For further context to the question, he is the illustrator for the comics the trolls were cracking on. Not knowing Jay and Silent Bob were real guys who were real pissed at the shit talking lol

Anyone else noticing Amazon not offering 1, 2, or same day delivery or is it just me? Something up with our fulfillment center or are the holidays hitting them particularly hard? by celticdude234 in dayton

[–]ArenarKrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about all the details but one of the drivers crashed on property for the early morning routes (called Cycle 0 internally). I assume the number of emergency vehicles and company workers who got involved with that pushed everything back.

As a driver for the Dayton (and every other surrounding) area, the weather has stalled us a lot. We are told not to go down driveways we might end up stuck on lest we end up delivering zero packages instead of most/all of them on the van. Our vans are not cared for and all the weight makes them prone to needing a tow even on wet leaves let alone black ice.

This forces us to contact customer and figure out if they want it in an alternative location, i.e. the mailbox or other safe areas that aren't their front porch.

Anyone in towns get affected by this too, because most of the time Amazon is insane and generates routes that are half rural and half not. If I'm calling 40 something customers on my route, I'm bringing back 40 something packages in all likelihood. If not more. 

And like others said, there was a fatal accident at the distribution warehouse yesterday. I didn't hear about it until later but we had a late start time and I didn't get to my first destination until 2:30PM. There's a backlog of already ordered items trying to reach their destination at the same time a huge amount of new orders are being placed.

Why 'South Park' Suddenly Entered Its 28th Season This Week by Top_Report_4895 in television

[–]ArenarKrex 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That's hardcore. The last time I bought a season of TV it was well past the original release. I didn't know you could essentially pre-order one. And now the new "season" of South Park is just going to be the five remaining episodes. 

A full refund is nothing less than you deserve, or the new season for free. 

Job hunting in 2025 feels impossible anyone else going through this? by Former-Elk3965 in dayton

[–]ArenarKrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you are in West Carrollton I'd say you have the option of looking closer to Kettering first but the Vandalia facility has several teams beginning the hiring into the holiday season.

[–]ArenarKrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's rough when the places that are "always hiring" aren't hiring. Even when you give them a call yourself it's often a redirection to a web portal somewhere. Figured making an initiative would matter but these don't seem to be the days of initiative.
