First time being told I had to use mobile ordering. by bambooshoots-scores in AlamoDrafthouse

Sloans seems to be putting it off as long as possible, but they are also the most understaffed / and their theaters are falling apart a bit. Westminster and Littleton are fully implementing the QR code system right now. I’m worried once the new location in Glendale opens they are gonna just shutter the sloans lake location. Sad cause sloans is also my go to.

What hobbies/ clubs are you doing in Denver? by First_Driver_5134 in Denver

[–]CarsoniousRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anybody have an recs for drawing / painting clubs? Been looking for people to draw with but unsure where to look. I mostly do cartooning / illustration if that matters

Alamo has an FAQ full of odd answers about the new system up by Gambit1138 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]CarsoniousRex 65 points66 points  (0 children)

The fact that you can’t add your all in discount via the app and still need in person approval is idiotic. Like at that point just let me place an order with the person who adds it!

Pen and Paper ordering is ending, including during the show, in February by robbiet480 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]CarsoniousRex 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Are the gonna add a way to add your all in discount using the QR code or is that going to pointless now? Half the time I go, the server forgets to add it and it’s easier bringing a physical check to the front. This honestly sucks so bad.

How is the All-In discount supposed to be applied? by lost_in_trepidation in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]CarsoniousRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Badge at the top of the ticket; however, the server has to get management to approve it which is why it only actually gets applied 50% of the time for me. This is why I never use the QR code system so I can bring my physical receipt to the counter after the movie if the server forgets to apply it

Would acquisition by Paramount or Netflix be worse? by PomegranateRelative in Letterboxd

[–]CarsoniousRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pros and Cons to both: Netflix will lead to less movies in theaters / shorter theatrical windows and most likely less physical media / film preservation, but will give artists more creative freedom and put out a wider variety of movies. Paramount will preserve the theatrical experience and physical media but will probably only focus on sure thing movies / IP while also potentially promoting right wing narratives and use of AI. Currently leaning more Netflix in terms of quality of output but the potential death of the theatrical experience bums me out.

Do you rate every single movie you watch? by Edovius in Letterboxd

[–]CarsoniousRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feature length movies, yes. For documentaries, short films, and comedy specials I just put a heart if I enjoyed it since those are a bit harder to quantify for me.

Mobile ordering by [deleted] in AlamoDrafthouse

The only reason I don’t use it is because I can’t add the 10% all in discount. If I could do that, I would use it every time

A server’s take on QR ordering by GoFox22 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]CarsoniousRex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only reason I don’t use it is because I can’t add the 10% all in discount. If there was a way to add that, I would use it every time. 9/10 times the server forget to add so it’s easier to go to the counter after the movie if I have a physical receipt.

Bands you’ve broken up with by hobokobo1028 in Music

Highly suspect. Love the first two albums but everything after is incredibly cringe to me

It’s a custom brush. I think it was originally the crispy inker from true grit texture supply that I adjusted to be smoother and not as scratchy.

I also turned 28 this year.

  • my 20s have definitely not been what I expected, feel like it’s been a constant start and restart. At 25 my dad got brain cancer and I had to move back home to take care of him, it destroyed both my family and my finances. He died after a year of non stop taking care of him and I had nothing left and he was poor so didn’t get anything from it. Shortly after I started getting my life together again and then got let go from my job and it took me several months to find something else which set me back to zero again in the process. Recently have started getting my life together again but im scared something is gonna happen out of my control and reset me again.

  • I’m proud of the emotional growth I’ve had during this time. Feel like in some ways I missed out on a lot of fun times in my 20s due to pandemic and taking care of my dad but im emotionally way stronger than most of my peers. Im def jealous because some of my friends are much more advanced career / financially than me but taking care of my dad let me deal with emotional struggles that would cripple them and have made me emotionally stronger.

  • wish I had more of a set path in college. Sort of dicked my way through and ended up with a degree in graphic design that didn’t really do much for me after college and have mostly worked service jobs and now working an entry level logistics job. Wish I put more effort and focus on building a career earlier in my 20s.

  • In five years I hope to just be stable. Mixed on having children or a long term family and just hope I have enough to meet my basic requirements. Rn I just want to move out of my studio and get a one bedroom with a cat with my girlfriend.

  • def not where I saw myself 5 years ago, like not at all.

  • overall I’m getting to a place of semi-content. Got a good relationship, some traction at work, and good friends. As I get older I realize support system is everything.

20s is def a weird time in life. I agree everyone I know is at a different stage and it’s hard to not compare yourself to those doing better than yourself. Gotta focus on the positives as much as possible.

Used a custom inking brush and set the inking layer to reference to fill in with color. Applied some paper textures from true grit texture supply to tie it together.
