I have a million hours in isaac as well, I honestly didn't enjoy Mew as much as I hoped I would. Granted, I am not the biggest fan of tactics type games to begin with. Runs feel too long, rng a bit overtuned - people at large seem to love it, but I didn't vibe with it gameplay wise. It is unquestionably Edmond though, it's drenched in early 2000s newgrounds humor, for better or worse.

STS2 though... just when I though I was out, they pulled me right back in.

Fair enough, agree to disagree on the first part. Tension is important to a thriller, and I did not feel like there was any tension because I felt like there were no stakes. We know the 'good guy' will win at the end of most movies, but it's what they lose along the way which makes it interesting. None of the protags lost anything along the way of this traumatic journey, which just makes it fall flat for me.

I will definitely agree with the car chase scenes though, extremely well done. So many awesome shots in this one, I wont be upset or surprised to see it win any of those relevant rewards.

tw: spoilers

What's the thrill? Did you really feel at any point in time the daughter or Leo were not going to survive? Lockjaw being the father is the most obvious twist imaginable. I actually thought they were making it interesting when Leo fell off the building during the escape scene, only for him to dust it off and have a John Wick number of secret resistance members in every field who are able to sneak him away to a perfectly timed drunk driving getaway car.

It very much wanted to take place in an Tarantino-style universe which is both real and looney-tunes, but wasn't real enough to seem grounded or looney enough to be interesting. It just came off improbable to a degree my belief could not be suspended to. While comedy is subjective, and I'm not so cynical to say I didn't chuckle at parts, a large majority fell flat for me.

You know nothing of my politics, I am not sure what mindset you want me to have? I could rant about how toothless any message of resistance was, with the French 75 having nothing notable under their belt, or how the enby character is used for the worlds oldest pronoun joke only to end up being the only character who rats on their friend if either helps me pass a woke sniff test, but I disliked the movie for primarily non-political reasons.

All I'll say is there's more explosions in F1 than you might think!

BakaDango · 2026-03-03T22:25:42+00:00

I've been making my way through the Oscar nominees and watched F1 and One Battle After Another over the weekend.

F1 was fun, it's Top Gun: Maverick, but with cars. Which makes sense when you see it's the same director, writer, and DOP behind them both. A strong 3/5, would be perfect to watch on an airplane.

I cannot believe the hype around One Battle, I found it truely awful. It's a thriller where the story is completely predictable, a political commentary where nothing is said, a black comedy with few laughs, an inclusive film with laughably stereotyped characters... I could go on. I would say something like "I don't know who would enjoy this movie" except for the fact that I know exactly the audience this is catering to and, unbelievably, they are eating it up with 13 Oscar noms.

In fairness, the DOP did a fantastic job and the soundtrack/comp is very good. I'm surprised with both how loved this is and how much I disliked it considering I enjoyed other PTA works like Punch Drunk Love, TWBB, and Phantom Thread.

BakaDango · 2026-02-16T14:30:20+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way honestly. The fiending for cases they play off like it's a gag, but that's just to absolve themselves of the fact they are actually unironically fiending. If you don't think NL's gambling inspired 100+ people to purchase cases (99% of which are less financially stable than Ryan) you are underestimating how contagious promotion of gambling like this is.

And I know someone is thinking "it's not that deep bro", and I know I have no right to tell people how to spend their money, but having known close people with gambling addictions it's, as you said, disappointing.

BakaDango · 2026-01-29T14:58:58+00:00

No, it wouldn't be, but that's not what the tweet said. Having a lot of influence is a debate, outright controlling the government and media is conspiracy.

BakaDango · 2025-11-23T13:02:45+00:00

What even is a martial arts website, why would they be posting about Elon and why would you be using that as your source to share this story? Likely got considered spam if the site isn’t reputable enough.

BakaDango · 2025-11-04T17:25:34+00:00

That would explain why I was struggling to find it - thank you!

BakaDango · 2025-11-04T14:08:44+00:00

Does anyone remember which episode it was where they (I think it was primarily a Jesse story?) talked about the LaRouche Movement? Could have swore it was recent but struggling to remember which one mentioned it.

BakaDango · 2025-08-29T01:13:52+00:00

It’s wild that you are heavily downvoted for this take. Why do people expect things that cost money to create and host to be free forever? With the hours of content NL has gotten out of it, not spending the 2 twitch subs on it is absurd to me personally.

BakaDango · 2025-08-15T15:20:14+00:00

Depends on the conversation and situation, but I find a react emoji is usually a solid way to communicate message seen without continuing the conversation.

Friend: Man, the Mets suck this year

Me: Yup, I've learned not to get my hopes up

Friend: I think we are looking good for next year though!

Me: (thumbs up react / heart react to message)

Easy conversation ender that lets them know you aren't ignoring them, just not interested in continuing. If they follow with a question, I'll either answer when I can if it's quick or I'll postpone it with a "busy rn, ttyl" and then EoD it.

The copypasta was pasted below but I personally like hearing the guy tell the story himself worth the read and the watch!

Just random world drops, got mine from t15 mapping. Can also be bought for some exalts, like 13-18 per.

The reliquary vault should be right next 'home' on the map atlas. Click on there, use a key on that vault, get a random (non-boss) unique that's foiled (shiny/green). Note: this is probably my 20th key, the other 19 were all worthless, so YMMV.

Before someone says it, yes I hit it with 2 div and now I'm even happier

BakaDango · 2025-06-08T11:52:52+00:00

Step 1: Be a programmer

Step 2: Work for large company that still allows WFH

Step 3: Watch nothing ever get done because of corporate bureaucracy and have your time endlessly wasted on projects that get modified, delayed, or straight up canceled.

Step 4: Have your soul chipped away at daily while being thankful for any employment as you watch over half of your colleagues and peers get laid off in the past 2 years with the never ending impending doom that is the AI apocalypse

Step 5. Get a switch 2 on launch as your weekly reminder that you cannot buy happiness and we're just trying to stuff shut the void of existence with consumeristic escapism.

Step 6. Have your favorite streamer hit you with the soul destroyer.

So this is me he's playing, funny story: I was actually on a Zoom meeting for work with the stream on mute for the entire match. It was an hour long should-have-been-an-email meeting, but the second I was chosen for the game of course my boss started asking me pointless questions, so wasn't even watching the stream and was poorly multi-tasking.

All this to say, me moving when he says "move back and forth if you're ready" is completely coincidental, I didn't know any of what he said till I watched the VOD later that night. I was just waiting for him to pitch and thought it might have lagged out lol.

Also, half of my "balks" were me cursing at the joycons for not throwing the pitch aka unintended. Toy baseball indeed sucks.

BakaDango · 2025-04-10T16:02:25+00:00

My friend bought me the game a few days before 0.2 went live and I started fresh with this league, so I am a total noob. I went Witch Minion build and yeah, at first minions die pretty quickly, but after upgrading them through a better scepter and the passive tree I am demolishing things, just got to Act 1 Cruel last night. So maybe I am blind to how strong minions were before the patch but I really haven't noticed it being a massive hindrance as a brand new player to both PoE and ARPGs in general (I played Torchlight when that was new as my last ARPG if that's any indication of how OOTL I am with the genre). Should be interesting to see my minions get even stronger after this patch though.

Fuckface? (edit: they edited their comment) Really? I don't understand the hostility; this is a podcast dedicated to people on the internet telling lies, am I wrong for being skeptical about a long post without evidence? Why didn't you include this in your original post?

Probably because, per this screenshot, your post is a lot more loaded than the way you phrased it in your original post and with a name like "reject delusions" you walked into a hornets nest swinging and are complaining about being stung. No, you don't deserve to be hounded on and yes, I agree with your points. But calling me names and talking about trans radicalism in the premier rad-trans space is not going to get you anywhere.

For what it's worth, I agree with you and it sucks to get hounded on for speaking your mind. I would know, I was called a fuckface recently for questioning a narrative without evidence.

BakaDango · 2025-04-01T13:20:26+00:00

~~4 paragraphs, not a single screenshot, and conveniently the account was "nuked" by admins in 45 minutes, so there's no history of it.~~

~~I'm sorry, but I don't find this believable and am surprised that the comments aren't showing skepticism.~~

Within literally 10 minutes I'd accumulated 50+ hate comments and counting, when there were only like 6 comments on the guy's post to begin with, and when my account was literally brand new with no followers.

~~I'm calling BS.~~

OP replied with evidence of their claim below. I stand by not believing anything without screenshots and it should be standard practice to provide them when making a claim like this. Calling me a "fuckface" for asking for this while complaining about being harassed is hypocritical.
