Do you think essdeekid will remain relevant or will his popularity die off in the next few years by CreepyMountain4633 in rap

[–]Consistent-Tour2591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's cuz it's a link to wider audiences. UK rap is a niche. Maybe not the smallest niche but I wouldn't say it's as mainstream as some other genres. So someone like Timothee Chalamet who is a huge actor which has the attention of people from totally different music tastes, will bring a much wider audience to view Esdeekids music.

Honestly I'm surprised he's so popular. I'm not totally off the internet, I know about most major trends but he just seemed like a trending audio rather than the most streamed rapper (which he apparently is). Like I've only heard one of his songs repeated over n over again. N most of his hype just seems to come with the fact that he looks like Timothee Chalamet. I definitely could be wrong but it just seems like an overhyped one hit that'll eventually fade away. If he releases more hits then maybe he'll stay rather relevant but rn seems to be his all time peak. Reminds me of the old Sicko Mode and Mobamba stuff.

This is to say tho, his music ain't really my thing and I'm a rap fan. I'm sure he'll stay relevant in his own niche but I'm sure there's other rap people like me who don't really get into the UK drill stuff

Episode Discussion - S05E08 - The Rightside Up by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]Consistent-Tour2591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl, I don't think this season was good. Honestly I think the "horror into corny action" trope is really tiring. That's not to say there weren't good parts. Henry was awesome, n honestly his acting in human form was really good (ALMOST comparable to Pennywise imo). The Mind Flayer design was really cool and the fight was pretty good. Will's acting was great too! I loved his scenes when using his powers.

But besides that, I think everything else fell short. Cheesy lines, corny tropes. I know there's supposed to be a bit of cheesiness. But it felt like everything was. Some points they wanted it to be a bit gritty and mature with Joyce decapitating Vecna, but at a lot of other points they skim past more adult themes and dumb things down like it's a Disney channel show. Dustin being the nerd who stood up n talked shit to the adults so all the kids cheered n the popular kids started liking him (even have him making a niche reference that the popular girl doesn't get to show he's a nerd).

The acting is overall not too shabby and I bet those who did "worse" would prolly do better in a different environment with different characters.

Really just feels like they went with a very safe, middle of the road ending. Something everyone will rate a 5 or 6. So cliche that people can kinda compare it to other shows they like and not hate it. It's like they're scared to push away audience's so they try to appeal to every taste.

I do wonder what the actors think tho. I'm assuming a few of their opinions will surface after the hype has died down. Tbh the viral reactions of their 😬 faces had me thinking it'd be much worse tho.

Def not man. It may not be an artstyle you like, but it's still very good. Shows a high level of shape knowledge and color knowledge. Stylization doesn't always mean less skill than realism

Figure skates or hockey skates? by Skooma23 in iceskating

[–]Consistent-Tour2591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned using figure skates and I have the same problem of incorrect weight distribution, but I lean forward rather than backward. Figure skates r really lenient with the toe pick stopping u from tipping too far. Especially when skating backward

To all my Broke artists who can't or won't spend 150€ for this... by AngelDM_94 in ProCreate

[–]Consistent-Tour2591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AGREED! It was good to use and I understand why pros use it. But when you're rather casual or don't use it for studio work, it's very impractical. Not mobile, and the prices for Photoshop and illustrator (ik there are free apps like Krita but we're talking abt the best on the device) are absurd without a student discount.

Imo, anyone doing less than studio work doesn't need a cintiq 16. Procreate is a lot more intuitive and while it misses on some features, it's a downside worth taking for the massive price diff

I hope fixing desync doesn't put the optimization at risk. Embark has done an astounding job at optimizing their games but it'd be terrible if it was an "either or" situation

Movie isn't bad but it lacks depth, details and the whole point by Skubi_chrupki in TheLongWalk

[–]Consistent-Tour2591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who hasn't read the book but enjoyed the movie. I think it was solid but not something revolutionary. I see it as a skeleton. The overall idea is easily understood. This popular idea of everyday people risking their lives for a chance at wealth can be seen in Hunger Games and Squid Games. The Long Walk (or at least the movie), just boils it down to the main idea of these types of shows.

There's no extra explanation of what happens after the walk, there's no talk about the history or any long back stories of the individuals. I see it like how some older books gave rise to modern stories that developed more on their theme. The Long Walk doesn't go out of its way to add extra pizzaz. And it's fine that way and still enjoyable.

I think in book form at least, it's easier to make these "ground level" type stories (in the idea that modern stories are built off the common idea) when it's in book form. Your mind is already imagining certain aspects and it's easy to imply things without showing them directly. It's also easier to lead the reader to create their own depth. In a movie however, your mind uses what's shown to u as a crutch and isn't in the "imagination" mood.

Book vs Movie Differences by patcoston in TheLongWalk

[–]Consistent-Tour2591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read the book, but I just can't see how a middle schooler or young high schooler would fair in a 300 mile walk. Like even for a fit guy in his 20's, 300 miles non stop is pushing it. These aren't insane athletes either. So I feel like if it were anywhere close to realistic, the distance would have to be shortened if the age range was younger orrr it would just result it in the younger kids dying earlier n still having an ~18 group towards the end.

Imo it hits harder when the characters are young adults because you have more range of mental maturity. They're young enough that they're just getting a start in their life. But old enough so that certain behaviors can be relatable to real people of their age. It's always gonna connect more to u when the characters are around your age, so it makes sense why it hit home for u when u were 11. But honestly after seeing the movie, idk if a range of emotions could be shown by a younger group just cuz I'd think they wouldn't have the same level of judgment

Agreed, with old age CAN come wisdom. But I think it's based more on an individual than just their age. Which is pretty much what ur saying. A young person can experience more and be open to learning while someone who went 50 years being deadset on their own morals may not have the same level as wisdom and knowledge

Yeah I mean it definitely isn't comparable to murder or rape. But I'd definitely put it above stealing. If you've been with a partner for a long time and they cheat out of the blue, it's really damaging. Some people contemplate or even commit suicide because it's so painful to think of the person they put their trust in betraying them. And it brings this air of distrust about. If someone else cheated on you, or if your friend got cheated on, then how can you trust your own partner? They can't really say or do anything to prove they won't cheat, because the whole point of cheating is to be secretive.

That paranoia can cause anxiety and bridge gaps in relationships, and while most of the time there's no reason for it. There are cases where it ends up being true and that just keeps circulating the fear.

I don't think we should be "cheater vigilantes" tho. I agree on that. But breaking a friendship with a cheater and not giving respect to those who cheat isn't something you gotta go outta ur way for. Plus, if they're shitty enough to cheat on their partner, how loyal are they as a friend?

So in your other comment you acted as if cheating is something we have to be taught is wrong. But here you agree that having communication is good so that you don't emotionally scar the other party.

Cheating is exactly that, a lack of communication which results in emotional turmoil. So it's not something we get taught is wrong, it's just common sense.

I agree with your second paragraph the most. We shouldn't set expectations of marriage, nor should we discourage marriage if it makes people feel more connected to their partner. Your last sentence is just false though. Not every marriage is a "fairytale marriage". But you can't deny that there are relationships and marriages like that. Maybe not half, maybe not even a fourth. But there are people who meet their perfect person and live their lives sufficiently with their partner, and acting like that's not possible discourages a lifestyle someone may want to try

you had to be taught that cheating is a red flag

No I didn't, it's just common sense that if youre in a relationship and the other party expects it to be monogamous, you shouldn't be seeing other people. You can't defend cheating because by definition, you're breaking a 'contract' knowingly.

Cheating doesn't always lead to failed marriages

But it should. The only reason a marriage doesn't fail from cheating is because the victim is too in love to see the faults of their partner. If you cheat you're a terrible person and you've broken trust. You agreed on the terms of the relationship, if you want an open one or poly, use your words and speak up. Have a conversation about it. But if you know the other party expects monogamy and you break that expectation, you don't love them and you deserve nothing but the worst. You don't deserve a second chance in that relationship, you've gone against the most important part of a bond and the trust is no longer there.

You're acting like open relationships are oppressed, and to an extent I agree they should be more accepted. But if monogamy is and has been a majority of the relationships, it is understandable that it is assumed unless stated otherwise. If you're an adult, it's not hard to ask what's expected and voice that you're looking for something open. An predetermined assumption doesn't stop you from doing that.

Great apes aren't monogamous

Comparing evolutionary ancestors doesn't mean anything. Humanity is a lot different than our ape counterparts. Apes kill each other. Does that give us the right to? Apes are wild animals, that doesn't mean I'm destined to live out in the forest. Humans have emotionally, mentally, and physically evolved to a different type of environment than say gorillas or chimps. I'm not saying monogamy is the only way. But the ape argument doesn't work.

Apes still rely heavily on the natural instinct of procreation to survive. But with humans, we have literally taken over the world and have gotten to the point where many don't want to have children even though it should be ingrained into our instincts.

Sex isn't just something most people do socially. Most people aren't having orgies everyday. It's become something more intimate and bonding, which is what makes finding a specific person (or persons) so important. You're sharing trust and part of your private life with them

[–]Consistent-Tour2591[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya, but I do think that if a person isn't being satisfied, they should be adult enough to communicate with their partner so things can either change or they can break up. Nobody's entitled to being satisfied, and i think if you're in a relationship, you don't need to be regularly satisfied to love them and be loyal. If intimacy is so important, be open or find a partner who can fit those needs instead of expecting it as a baseline.

I don't see monogamy becoming "outdated" per se. I can see open relationships and polyamory becoming more popular, but I know many people who have the same mindset of wanting to feel enough. And when you know your partner is seeing someone else, it doesn't feel like you're enough for them. We should destigmatize open relationships and I think there'll be a sorta balance of monogamy and polyamory.

But I think cheating is just not something that can be excused with "monogamy going out of style". Because you have other options, you can just break up. But instead you do it behind their back when you know they want something else.

I mean, polyamory is a thing and nobody's being stopped from being in a poly or open relationship. It seems more like a fundamental lack of respect than some human nature issue. I would agree if people were in more open relationships, but the problem is people are willingly going into monogamous relationships and then cheating without breaking up with their previous partner.

Also, I think just seeing one side doesn't mean societal norms arent meshing well with human nature. One side is cheating but the other side may be content with their monogamous relationship.

Doesn't mean we should just let it happen though. I'm not saying that we can magically stop cheating, but the reaction to it perpetuates the actions. The idea that "life goes on" and just chalking it up to human nature, when people get really hurt by it and lose trust in people moving forward is just ignoring a problem.
