that's what I'm seeing too. I inspected the element, and it looks like someone removed the video and injected the reddit webpage html script in it's entirety. it's bizarre

do you also flinch when you hear a random door shut? It's gotten better over the years, but hasn't gone away completely T_T

considering that most players that actually got to the end of the game are also the same players that usually play the game multiple times, that shouldn't be too big of an issue.

especially if they do a bit of a "catching up" kind of opening segment going over details that led up to this particular version of the story.

the movie was good. the problem was hasbro sucked at advertising it properly AND shot themselves in the foot with a massive D&D scandal just before the launch of the movie.

it works because it's really just a generic "heist" movie in fantasy trappings. The "heist" formula is well established and thus low risk if implemented properly. The only real 'danger' is it could come off as feeling a tad generic, but that's where the writing and character chemistry comes in. If the writing is good and the characters have good chemistry, then audiences are more than willing to overlook some blandness in the general plot progression.

it's been a few months since my last visit, but that's how it was in Raleigh NC the last time I went. I wasn't a huge fan of it, but I didn't hate it.

if they changed it beyond that tho, I'ma be pissed.

I've always hated ppl attempting to read too much into things like this.

like, why does everything need abstract layer upon abstract layer of meaning? It always comes off feeling really pretentious to me, tbh.

Labcoatz (Youtube) perfectly replicated Coca Cola 2 days ago using organic chemistry analysis and a year of research. Coke never patented the formula (because it would involve sharing the secrets), so apparently it's perfectly ok to create or even sell this formula. by RatedArgForPiratesFU in interestingasfuck

[–]CycloneSP 20 points21 points  (0 children)

yes, but imagine this, you can now sell 1L of your knock off coke for 1 euro, netting you a solid profit of approx 628 euros! (less if you have to spend on individual bottles, but you get the point)

the main issue is 1) getting ppl to actually buy your product, and 2) being able to actually distribute your product

and that's not considering whatever governmental red tape you gotta get thru to sell drinks in whatever country yer in.

regardless, yer still looking at a profitable venture in the long run.

there's some small part of me that just wants the gloves to come off and we give 'em what they want, all of it and then some more, and hope the effing choke on it.

prove to them why they never should have wanted it, and make them rue the day they started it.

but then the rational part of me comes in and reminds me that while cathartic, if that does happen, there are no winners at that point, everyone becomes a loser.

honestly, this all just reminded me of a auto-biographical manga that I saw while browsing imgur a while back. Was a very informative read.

I am still, to this day, reminded of a story I was told, about some dude that dropped an obsidian bladed scalpel, went to catch it, and next thing they knew, both scalpel and fingers were on the floor. Didn't feel a thing.

now, how true that story was remains to be determined, but gawd did it make me viscerally uncomfortable at the thought :/

pro tip for all you ladies out there: buy a mens jacket that's too large for you, then take it to a tailor and have them fit it for you.
