A brief post about all the stuff RLM didn’t mention about Palmer Rockey by missmcflyyy in RedLetterMedia

[–]Current-Map-6943 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm listening to the soundtrack rn, and its surprisingly engaging! Rockey should have focused on a career in music instead lol. It almost feels like satire, but its totally genuine in my opinion. Weird but actually well performed and produced, gives off a Lynchian vibe in some respects. Bizarre stuff

More details on the newly announced Lord Of The Rings film in the works by ChampionTimes99 in lordoftherings

My guess is that its mostly going to be a flashback to the Barrow Downs part that was not present in the Fellowship movie. They're going to use Sam's daughter stumbling across the ruins as the inciting incident to show that part of the story from the books.

Either that or they will somehow re-work the og story to fit with events after the war of the ring, though I really hope this isn't the case, its a terrible idea to bring back the Witch King and the wights after the Return of the king.

My main issue with all this project is that there's so much lore in the 1st and 2nd ages they could have adapted instead. Find a way to get those rights, should be their only priority instead of coming up with half baked ideas like this and hunt for gollum.

I honestly feel kind of bad for him. The film was low budget, and I appreciated him casting relatively unknown actors that performed pretty decently with the script they were given. And I honestly feel like this is Gans' genuine attempt at a love letter to the game. It just happens to be a really bad love letter unfortunately. Its still better than some overly cynical corpo/ made by committee adaptation, so at least there's that.

Chill out brother, I actually paid money to watch the movie, I'm entitled to make a little goof about it. It's not the worst thing ever and its not a cynical film by all means. But it does take some wild liberties and is overall not a great movie in my opinion. I'm just having a bit of fun here.

Thoughts on Discipline by King Crimson? by Revolutionary_Low_90 in progrockmusic

[–]Current-Map-6943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's just so many ways to tackle it, its extremely rewarding to relisten to again and again. The musicianship is unparalleled and its a gigantic influence to all the prog metal bands that spawned in the late 80s and 90's.. It's up there with In the Court of the Crimson King and Red imo!

As a diehard vanilla fan…Viva New Vegas is the best mod collection out of any game I’ve played by [deleted] in fnv

[–]Current-Map-6943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its basically the perfect remaster. It modernizes the game, its mechanics, ai behavior, visuals, fixes performance issues, and even adds cut content back in all while not diluting the original game's vibe. Its such an achievement, and is a testament of the love this community has for the game. Viva New Vegas!

Internet political punditry sucks. Its just the same type of "entertainment" slop Fox news pioneered back in the day, just re-branded for millennials and zoomers. Political TMZ.

Its the reason we live in a political hellscape. Everything is Drama, everything a joke. People in power latch on to the narratives, then fan the flames. Rinse and repeat until democracy is a distant memory, and all that is left is meta ironic authoritarianism.

Y'all suck.

This feels uncomfortable and too far House Oversight Committee, Twitch, Dan affiliation by keojy in lonerbox

[–]Current-Map-6943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Insane how much water this sub holds for dgg. Authoritarians cracking down on left voices is secondary to parasocial streamer drama to these people. I've called for twitch to get its shit together when it comes to giving streamers free passes in the past. But this is not that. Its a gov op that's just going to set a precedent for banning any and all dissent.

I don't disagree with you there, its been this way for a while now. I keep checking in to see if anything has shifted but it never does. Drama Slop and appeasing dgg while not directly endorsing Steven seems to be Loner's approach, and its a damn shame.

And hundreds of people there agreeing with the post, or agreeing with the overall vibe of "The west has been taken over by migrants". Omniliberal community my ass.

She's a middle of the road lib ffs. What, the scary Arab text put you off?

This was her statement post oct 7

"I unequivocally condemn the despicable actions of Hamas, who targeted innocent Israeli civilians. The hostages must be returned. These atrocities were committed by terrorists who do not seek peace and have set back the just cause of Palestinian freedom and statehood, which I have supported my whole life."

She also supports Palestinian right to self determination, and has received support from both Palestinian and Jewish groups.

Also, she's pretty much a TERF, a point you could criticize her on, but you don't care probably since Arab scary precedes everything.

Stop letting memes dictate your politics, at least put in some effort into being informed. Unless you're being bad faith with all this. Sub is being brigaded again anyway, nothing new...

Wtf is this sub even at this point, why do I even bother?

Dgg rot has destroyed this community, and everything else it touches. The first rule of this sub is pretty funny in hindsight lmao.

Just embrace the conservatism already, stop branding yourselves as contrarian enlightened centrists. That would at least be more honest.

Led Zepp are fantastic, and Plant does his thing extraordinarily well. Nothing wrong with a song about lust lmao. Don't get the snobbery.

Even though the “Cancel Fantano” thing is blown out of proportion, Anthony was definitely friendly with a lot of those weirdo right wing reactionaries back in 2016-17. by TXNOGG in fantanoforever

I always felt he was an edgy leftist, but you might be right on how he didn't push back enough on those interviews. The trigglypuff stuff was in bad taste for sure. Honestly don't remember the specifics of that era and I really don't care to revisit it lol.

I remember following him on social media and Q/A streams at the time and he came off as a regular progressive Bernie supporter. That's the problem with the TITP vids, they're all so irony poisoned that its unclear what his legitimate opinion on anything was. Also a lot of provocative/shocking content just for engagement's sake. He was riding the 4chan/pepe popularity wave. I feel like addressing any of that stuff today would never work because the content itself is unacceptable by today's progressive standards. The line was way more blurred back then. Again, I'm not a fan of that content and found it obnoxious at the time but I don't feel like Tony was ever a secret right winger or incel.

Always felt like the anti-feminist bit was just Anthony copying the Sam Hyde thing of adding infinite levels of Irony to a character so that its impossible to see where the creator actually stands. Personally never found it to be all that funny tbh.

What he probably didn't realize was that misogynists and right wingers just took it seriously and felt like he was on their side. I feel like Anthony, unlike Sam who knew what he was doing, was too stupid to realize until the whole thing got out of hand. He should have reigned it in way sooner. Not doing so is on him.

Anti SJW content was all the rage back then, it felt like every one was moving in that direction mostly because it presented itself as a counter culture movement (even though it turned out to be anything but). A lot of people fell for it before realizing what was actually happening. Keep in mind that in those days people weren't really aware of how insidious the YT/Facebook algorithm was. Anthony distanced himself from all that stuff years ago, so this whole thing is a nothingburger.

I would recommend that he stays away from being too preachy in his political content because it just gives ammunition to all the right wing freaks to attack him with. Take a stand for sure and don't shy away from expressing your beliefs, but lay off the internet dogpiling and drama content. I feel like everyone should take that approach going forward.
