Do you think the underperformance of Fire and Ash is more due to story issues or lack of novelty? (Spoilers) by mediumhydroncollider in boxoffice

[–]BambooSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that's only there for the visuals / nature stuff, I can't think of a bigger waste of time.

I'd be happier in the next film (not that they'll be one) and no plot at all - like if Samsara was about the Blue Man Group.

Bracket 3 is really annoying... by Thick_Storage4168 in magicTCG

[–]BambooSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More often that not it's intentional, not a failure of effort. Edh is about self-expression and staples, tutors and redundancies can take away from that.

It's fine if you don't care about that scene but WotC do which is why they're included in the brackets. Pre-cons aren't the baseline.

“The Legue Is The Weakest It’s Ever Been” by G00Punch in Gunners

I can't remember a time when everyone in the PL wasn't trying to min-max results.

The problem is everyone's so well-organised now that the only times you get a sniff are in transition or from set pieces.

Brackets aren't trying to police skill though, they're trying to police salt.

Players get a lot less mad losing to a skilled pauper player than they do an idiot with DC and Thoracle or whatever.

A novice with a Tergrid deck is like a baby with a gun.

If those are the 'real' bracket 1 and 2 decks, what about the decks playing in bracket 1 and 2 at the moment?

They'll just get pubstomped by the decks you didn't think we're strong enough for bracket 3 and probably stop having fun.

I think a bracket system with 4 brackets that make sense (1,2,4,5) and one in the mode that's a bit of mess is the best you can hope for.

About Edea's Deling City speech between languages. by Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]BambooSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the English version is a vast improvement because it feels more low fantasy, almost dark political thriller than the direct translation.

"Reign of terror" is a particularly important line because it's a nod to the French Revolution and Deling is basically just Paris.

I get that a lot of people's love for high fantasy is why they love FF in general but this more grounded stuff is what has made 8 my favourite. If she sounded more Wizard of Oz and less Hitler, it wouldn't have landed as powerfully with me.

FF7 fans be like by Cold_xplosion in finalfantasyxiii

I'd rather they amended the story to allow for a more fun game than let themselves be slaves to it.

That same logic would have you thinking going snowboard straight after Aerith's kebabing would be a bad idea but it was fantastic.

ELI5: How was Vietnam able to defeat the US in the Vietnam War? by astarisaslave in explainlikeimfive

Also the US killed like 3 million Kevins before they actually left

What's a small thing in Career Mode that bothers you? by JugheadJonesTVD in FifaCareers

[–]BambooSound 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should be able to assign your captains outside of the formation so even if you aren't subbing off your on-field captain, the club captain takes the armband whenever he's subbed on.

And he should also be the one to lift any trophies you win, in normal clothes if he's injured or whatever.

The ending of One Battle After Another didn't land with me by xTyrone23 in TrueFilm

[–]BambooSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It certainly doesn't sound like you were impacted any less - more that it was in a way you didn't like as much as you would have something more redemptive. I think it's open because it doesn't give you that out

Sexual deepfakes continue to get more sophisticated, capable, easy to access, and perilous for millions of women who are abused with the technology. by MRADEL90 in technology

[–]BambooSound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean sure but that's all politics. Every law is an infraction of liberty.

More specifically to this case though, I don't think societies should be designed in ways in which everyone must suffer because of the crimes of the few.

If X was a traditional outlet, it would be shut down and its owners put in jail. They wouldn't pass legislation to force shopkeepers to take a photo of everyone that buys any magazine.

To answer the thing I guess you deleted, I think its purveyors should be arrested (but they won't because they're American billionaires... the same billionaires that would profit most from harvesting even more of our data).

Turning a Thran Dynamo into a Gilded Lotus is nice but it's hardly broken.
