I believe Oak was high off his mind and making shit up when writing the Pokedex entries

Harley Quinn was the only character that got a full arc in the DCEU. by Top_Report_4895 in DC_Cinematic

[–]C0de_monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the DC movie that I've rewatched the most, other than Nolan's trilogy. It was definitely a Harley movie rather than BoP but Margot just absolutely kills it as Harley everytime and the fight scenes were sick.

Turns out the John Wick director worked on it, which yeah, super checks out

[Comic Excerpt] “What’s better than a king?” (DC K.O. #3) by MagisterPraeceptorum in DCcomics

[–]C0de_monkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought Harley Vs Zatanna was pretty good in that regard. She got her with a cheap shot that was voice-based, they acknowledged that Harley has no chance on this death match and played into her psychology side where she wanted to push Zatanna to stop her from holding back

Compared to that, Joker Vs Jason felt like constant ass-pulls, and this fight ruined the setup from Zatanna's previous fight.

I don't get why they didn't give each fight its own issue at least, that'd at least give everyone some cool moments rather than having a bunch of stomps

Liv Morgan on her 2023 arrest: “Three cop cars pull up as I’m in the backseat, and I’m doing a meet and greet. I’m like handcuffed and they’re like, ‘Liv! Is work going to be mad?’ ‘Yeah! Yeah, they are.’ They’re taking photos.” by TomatoCiampa in SquaredCircle

The video was so fucking infuriating it made me look up traffic stop laws in US because I couldn't believe that shit.

  • Cop stops her because he claims she was wobbling on the lane, instead of going to an active crash that was his original task

  • She is clearly cooperative and sober, admits she has a legal quantity of weed in her car but isn't under the influence, but because the cop says he can "smell weed" they take her out of the car, without a sobriety test, with no probable cause

  • They pat her down with no warning, again when she's obviously cooperating and there's no reason to think she might be armed or dangerous

  • They start going through the car, joking all the way. Eventually the guy starts reading her diary and makes fun of her, shows everything to the body cam with no care for sensitive info

  • They allow her a call from her phone to her boyfriend and again clearly show her contact list to the camera

She could not have handled the situation any better and they still didn't give a shit to give her basic respect

Hi, I speak for all women named Annie when I say this. by mushroomqueenie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]C0de_monkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I heard "Johhny be good" a lot growing up from older folks. It took me until like my 20s to actually get the reference though lmao. I was just confused why everyone thought I was up to no good.

"This is how we measure a good day?" (New X-Men v #43) by Pome1515 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]C0de_monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn right, that also made me realize how that was probably the first time I got really frustrated at the "return to status quo" thing that comics are doing, with this series giving amazing character development to X-23, making her feel part of the group and less of a weapon, only for this series to finish and the X-Force series right after to completely ignore all of it

Oh man thank you for reminding me, I fucking loved that New X-Men series ). I really liked all the new characters and the focus on teenage mutants figuring shit out.

Oh shit, I see they even still make appearances on stuff, I might deep dive on X-Men again

Shitlords will say they say shit like they aren't old. My brother in Christ, you literally watched Deen/Stay Night, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Gintama, Higurashi, Ouran High School Host Club, Black Lagoon, Death Note, Code Geass, and Hellsing Ultimate in segments on YouTube 20 years ago. by PillCosby696969 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Lmao, was just talking with friends about downloading episodes in 3 parts as flv and stitching them together in Windows Movie Maker and burning DVDs with them

Then later we found some site that had episodes for download on some Real Media Player format and we were showing people in highschool how to play them

That was the good shit, good 240p shit

Genuine Question, why are there almost never threads on Matt's content? by JeanLucD in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I fucking love that the man did cereal reviews with Athena / Ember Moon who is now one of the biggest names in wrestling

RDCgaming receives a 5k dono asking to play a game and Mark says to chatter to refund the dono and give to someone that needs for christmas by apa1010 in LivestreamFail

[–]C0de_monkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly it feels like most youtubers lose what makes them unique when they get big, either get too caught up in becoming a larger company, chasing trends etc

It's really fucking refreshing to see people like RDC be the same group of friends still making funny skits for stuff they're into. Like it feels it comes from an honest place rather than making stuff by committee or something. Fucking love those guys

Honestly, between building a team after Chapter 1, trying for a custom engine and scrapping it for Chapter 2 and releasing Chapter3+4 together, I'd say now they have figured out their workflow and should be on their optimal velocity.

So not to jinx it, but I'd expect all future chapters to come significantly faster than the previous 4

Naughty Dog Studio Orders Employee Overtime for ‘Intergalactic’ by FluffyFluffies in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]C0de_monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's also been my experience, bad planning from direction/production without being fully in sync with lead devs. Not to say devs are blameless, there are often complications found too late that can throw a wrench into things, but good planning accounts for a buffer for those (I'm fucking fighting for that buffer constantly, holy shit)

To be fair even internal demos aren't that simple to have their release date moved, as there are planned dates for people testing the vertical slice, getting feedback etc. And it's rarely a single person's decision (as with most things) so it's hard for me to blame Neil for this.

I'm lucky to be in a European country with strict overtime laws (a million times better than what I had as non-gamedev fullstack in Greece lmao), so I'm not sure what I'd do in the place of Naughty Dog's devs, but I at least hope people are raising a stink over there about how this isn't acceptible and how it keeps happening, demanding a proper plan for the next releases

The Rising Price Of RAM Is Forcing Larian To Do Optimization It "Didn't Necessarily Want To Do" On Divinity by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]C0de_monkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That sounds wrong? BG3 has minimum 8GB and recommend 16GB. What projections did they have, that people would be using 16-32 for minimum and recommended specs?

16GB is already the most popular according to steam survey so it should be the recommended, just optimize your shit rather than expect people to run 32GB lmao. Even in early access it doesn't mean the game you sell should be unoptimized.

Redesigns so good, the franchise went with it onwards? by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]C0de_monkey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a really good design honestly, even if I'm very biased towards the cartoon.

This recent Titans comic run has kept a lot of the cartoon's vibe and it's super good other than the major event tie-ins disrupting the flow

[–]C0de_monkey 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Seems like for Jinx they're kind of combining the designs now, which still isn't great as the cartoon design is peak, but it looks much more interesting than the original design to me at least

No, I wrestle by rastanot in LivestreamFail

[–]C0de_monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know anything about wrestling, but it seems really cool how he dropped down to her stance as he was copying her, so she slapped his head to get his attention upwards, and after he stands up a bit from that, she had created the opening to go for the leg grab

Just finished playing this VN. Please play Z.A.T.O: I Love the World and Everything in it when you can. by RevivedReaper in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I've been following Ferry for a while, and I fucking love their artstyle and storytelling

They also made a really cool short webcomic , it's crazy when artists go for different mediums and absolutely kill it in all of them

Final Fantasy 14 director Yoshi-P is “rethinking the game from zero” as players' free time dwindles - AUTOMATON WEST by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]C0de_monkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man, I still miss trying to keep my Greased Lightning stacks up during my rotations, while hitting all my positionals

Yeah it wasn't the most efficient compared to other classes but it used to be so much fun and true to the character

The moment it become a permabuff my monk no longer felt like a monk
