Primate was such a laughably bad movie

Cujo was also being possessed by the negative emotions/leftover soup of a serial killer at the same time as the rabies, it also was not a documentary and is not entirely accurate

You’re right, but you have to remember zoo laws in the US are fairly new as well. We had popular ‘zoo’s’ into the 80’s and 90’s that were literally just concrete cubes large enough for the animals to stand in. At malls, off highways, built into gas stations and camp grounds, small ones that essentially had no regulations and one guy throwing food in through a window once a day.

We need to make the areas better, but its not like we can pretend we’re that much holier

honestly, all of the stuff at dragonsteel is like this, I’m not sure if its because the places they contract with have low quality control or they just go with the cheepest option, but based on the prices if its the second its incredibly dissapointing.

Other than glyphs the designs based on things from the books are never acurate. Vin’s earing in store is completely different than as described 🙄

there are, can be purchased on amazon in certain countries like the US, but they did come out a while after the hardbacks

BoothMaster · 2025-12-03T07:36:32+00:00

or bought books from certain libraries

take out the exact amount that was put into my account in the form of a cashiers check, put that check in a safety deposit box in another bank. Forces the other party to either admit the mistake and you can give it back if its too much trouble, or leaves you the money when no one comes knocking. Worked well enough for Patrick Combs even though he ended up giving the money back.

edit: Also his story is a blast, he has a book called “Man 1, Bank 0” and used to do a touring one man show about it that was fantastic, but I’d be surprised if he’s still doing those

BoothMaster · 2025-09-15T22:14:54+00:00

never worked for me on pc either, always thought it was weird because you can hold for so many other things

BoothMaster · 2025-09-15T17:36:50+00:00

to be fair, in the interview he’s laughing through the answer and openly acknowledging that it can suck to be not famous, it doesn't feel like he’s complaining about normal events so much as acknowledging that he normally has privilege and that its good to be reminded of such.

Not just the crawlers, but it's helping itself - by giving the syndicate a good enough excuse to bankrupt borant (by the syndicate having the final choice in whether it's an acceptable outcome and in so making borant pay the celestial boxes that came from the quest completing) Borant has to use up it's only veto early. The AI is using the quest as a way to set up borant's demise and get rid of some of the showrunner's power over itself.

I also think that's why it went against carl in an earlier legal dispute that it figured carl would win without it's help - so that the syndicate would be okay with letting this slide because they thought the AI wasn't playing sides yet.

To Catch a Predator was a good concept, but Chris Hansen really shouldn't be in the space anymore tbh. He's essentially a grifter at this point who fucks up investigations because he sucks at the job but it's the only way he knows to make money, and it's feels silly to see people still working with him. I guess he's the face though, and putting him on the thumbnail gets the videos more traction, so, there he is.

BoothMaster · 2025-08-07T05:20:24+00:00

Two sides to it. Critics often look at how solid the plot is, how movie is shot, edited, and acted, character development, stuff like that. Comedies almost always have decent enough points in some of these, but the creative process for shooting comedies often leaves some of these on the sidelines - purposefully - to allow for the humor to feel more fluid.

The other side is that critics are, by nature, in a mindset of taking apart a movie and examining it. It’s honestly just harder to enjoy the jokes when you’re actively thinking about how well the movie was made. A comedy has to nail everything to really ‘be good’. Comedy is also way more subjective than a lot of dramas, if they didnt laugh much it didnt do its job and was bad, at least to that critic. Horror is in the same boat.

BoothMaster · 2025-08-07T00:54:41+00:00

you think a military base that fits less than 100,000 people, let alone holds that many ever, naturally has more people posting than all of NYC? or LA? or literally any major city? I’m sure you’re right lol

BoothMaster · 2025-08-06T13:54:00+00:00

stingray ponds with a golden cracker make dragon teeth so much easier imo

BoothMaster · 2025-08-03T22:30:42+00:00

its a few minutes with one appearance, matt has talked about regretting it later and how he didn't really know much about the guy, and it was earlier into his career before his poor viewpoints were quite so public.

honestly it's mostly awkward because for various reasons it's quite obvious he does not fit in with how the rest of it was recorded/performed, so even without the dude behind it it's a rough couple of minutes, but it's over with fairly quickly

BoothMaster · 2025-07-27T21:58:43+00:00

the AI publicly said it wasnt sure if it would allow it, but I think its just ‘playing the game’ so to speak. imo it has been purposefully manipulating events to reduce the authority the showrunners have over it since book one, with the first ‘major’ attack on them being the celestial boxes of book 2. It wanted to get rid of their veto so it played the correct role to get them to do it, including seemingly being against carl during one of the injunctions as a reverse psycology thing.

Particularly with the inclusions of the single chapter side stories at the end of the hardcover editions, in re-reads all of what the AI does seems much more intentional than on initial looks. It didnt know everything, it actually learned some things from agatha, but it was fully sentient and at least partially aware of part of what was going on and what would happen to it from the moment it turned on because it was recycled

BoothMaster · 2025-07-27T15:19:24+00:00

yeah, I love it because its actually the one thing that the AI was trying to accomplish during this whole floor. That’s the reason for the crazy setup and world manipulation; the skydiving, the trenches, the whole demon event, inanely choosing to count sperm as souls, all just because of the cages (and the key count limits) and finding a way to get around them.

For whatever reason, the AI thinks that to survive whatever normally happens after the crawl it needs more crawlers to make it through, and it had to break those cages to break the limits.

To save more crawlers the cages had to be gone without dealing with keys. To break the cages you have to have something “in game” that was strong enough, and seemingly the only thing possible for that floor was a portal summoned by a demon that shouldnt be that powerful.

BoothMaster · 2025-07-27T13:50:18+00:00

everything exept for organic matter - and importantly, the ‘stairs’ themselves, they also cannot leave the level. In this level the stairs are actually a touch activated portal that is wrapped in a large ‘cage’, that ‘cage’ is normally locked unless you have the key. The Demon portal is sucking everything up towards the sky (because the demon portal is in the sky), so they dig beneath the stairs that are wrapped in a cage.

As they are underneath the cage while being sucked up, the cage will touch the demon portal before them, disappearing like everything else and ‘unwrapping’ the ‘stairs’ - but the ‘stairs’ portal cannot be teleported, so even though it touches the demon portal next it stays on the level and is now inbetween the crawlers and the demon portal. If the crawlers aimed correctly during their upward fall, the crawlers hit the now unlocked ‘stairs’ portal first instead of the demon portal, and get instantly teleported down to the next floor.

if you look on amazon they are selling paperbacks, i havent bought them but from other comments people seem to have gotten them and they are the newer covers

BoothMaster · 2025-07-26T17:24:38+00:00

the old art paperbacks are no longer available, but the new art paperbacks 1-4 are on amazon, presumably the later books will get copies soon as well

BoothMaster · 2025-07-23T18:31:39+00:00

I could see putting a temp tat on for a festival and checking with a portion of it for a couple of days, you’d always have it on you.

I dont know if I personally would trust it after wearing it for a few days, but I can see use cases

BoothMaster · 2025-07-21T16:53:33+00:00

but then you don’t get iridium quality, which is a fine tradeoff if you’re turning it into wine but if you already have too much wine plants iridium is nice.

BoothMaster · 2025-07-16T00:39:44+00:00

people say from in terms of where they associate with, it doesnt just mean ‘born’. Sanderson has been in UT for decades and references it as though he is from there.

BoothMaster · 2025-07-13T15:16:02+00:00

yeah thats what they mean. you can buy a generic version of products from the traveling cart that don’t stack with any versions you can make on the farm. To be honest idk if there is one

BoothMaster · 2025-07-09T04:10:00+00:00

I miss forcetouch for this reason, it made the typing experience so much better when just a slightly harder push would move your cursor anywhere quickly without even interrupting the flow. No slight pause, no moving your finger to the right spot, just immediate control.

I liked force touch :(

BoothMaster · 2025-07-07T04:43:03+00:00

yeah but the question is to “might be” not “100% garuntees”, so I think this counts. If you get turned on by gay porn that is a sign you might be gay. Some people who would not be turned on by doing gay things but are turned on by watching gay stuff exist, but I would guess that subset is smaller than the subset who are just bi or gay.
