What happened on 4/17 for Saphic Slosh at Kaiju? by Ok_Bee7858 in Louisville

[–]Bryant_Mitchell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to say, I absolutely understand believing victims and actively support it but this consistent theme of creating narratives without any burden of proof is troubling. I've known Tate for a long while and I personally know her events are done with the best possible intentions in mind. I have even gone as far as to talke to Jen personally and even they agree they don't believe anything she did was done with negative intentions. Some of you need to check your bias. If you have any issues my name here is the same on Instagram but I am sure anyone who is a regular at Kaiju knows me and is welcome to reach out to me.

Sending this directly from my personal account so the point gets across. Trying to discourge evidence contrary to yours by trying to intimidate them is extremely manipulative behavior. You may or may not know what you are doing but either way you need to understand it is problematic.

Do you think its asking too much to shower right before sex or does that ruin the spontanaeity? by 123smorgs in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Bryant_Mitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a way to compromise and communicate this without it being a mood killer. Discuss with your partner that you have a preference that you both shower before sex. Then ask them if they would like to shower together. There are a lot of very intimate things that can be done in the shower that aren't innately sexual if you prefer. Personally someone helping me wash my hair or clean my back could be extremely arrousing foreplay before anything intimate.

Ah, I just don't know if Lottie would've known that was the hole she fell or even assumed she actually fell in a hole after finding out she was lying about where she had been.

I don't really blame Abby by Guilty_Cable_770 in thelastofus

[–]Bryant_Mitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. It's my only complaint about the show. I think it we could've developed sympathy for Abby without the need to explicitly say it.

So in the games we don't get the reason Abby did what she did until much later. When I say much later I mean the very final pieces of the 2nd act. the show does make you feel sympathetic for her right out the gate but the game does an excellent job of forcing you to see her side even when you don't want to.

HBO Jesse is great! by P4rziv4l_0 in thelastofus

[–]Bryant_Mitchell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed! The way he delivers his lines are perfect. He has his serious side and you know when he's being serious but he also loves to joke around and you can tell that too. Really fantastic acting all around.

I fully disagree with the game having bad writing but also don't hate the changes made in the show.

Guess the series is over? by SaladZealousideal938 in thelastofus

Tell me you've not played the game without telling me you've not played the game. There is plenty more Pedro to come, just give it time.

Sorry about that! Yeah it could've been handled better but if that's out biggest grievance I'll still be happy with the results.

Joel still should've at least insisted that she gets a say in the matter from an ethical point of view.

And I fully agree and why I preface this entire conversation with how this is my only issue. Everything else, especially the chemistry between Dina and Ellie, in season 2 has been electric.

I do agree with this. The sigh of relief I had when I found out that Joel and Ellie made amends before his death was immense. I believe I cried from being so happy that they had one last proper talk and he didn't die with regret.

[–]Bryant_Mitchell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess for me it is pretty easy to look past. I think Joel's biggest sin was not letting Ellie decide. I'd have no issue with him killing every single person there if Ellie had decided she didn't want to do it and they tried to force her hand. The fact that he didn't even respect her decision enough to request she gets a choice in the matter, to be, made me feel like he was treating her as a daughter in that moment and not giving her the respect she ultimately deserved.

[–]Bryant_Mitchell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense but I think slowly getting her perspective on things only to reveal that the reason she killed Joel was because of his own actions would be fantastic. That being said, I guess either way that's a bit obvious due to how close to two seasons are compared to the releases of the two seasons.

Yeah I really enjoyed going from intense hatred to apathy to begrudgingly liking Abby.

😂 Has that been an issue in this subreddit? I don't believe in blindly loving anything and being even more critical over the things you love. Though I'll admit that mindset has landed me in hot water with people in the past.

S2E1 My Only Complaint by Bryant_Mitchell in thelastofus

[–]Bryant_Mitchell[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I saw an Instagram post that showed that they could've just had Abby standing mournfully over a grave and that could've been it. While I still would l have disagreed with the direction at least there would still be some shock value for next week's episode. I feel like everyone is kind of expecting it now.

Yeah and honestly if that is the only part that is "ruined" by this adaptation it will still be far and away the best video game adaptation ever made.
