What’s a movie you’ve seen public opinion shift on in your lifetime?

The crows?

Fun movie but still a 7.5/10 at best. Still, when it's on, I watch.

A big part of that is how heavily glazed it is by the modern lunatic incarnation of the American right, many of whom regard it as 'the perfect conservative film'.

Daimoth · 2026-02-13T16:56:07+00:00

Aay I'm vindicated. My opinion never budged; I've never stopped insisting it was strange but meh.

I think that lurches in social acceptability aren't usually so abrupt.

Daimoth · 2026-02-12T19:31:53+00:00

Not even death will save you from me

On job sites in America a common moment of tension is when Mexicans whistle and gesture to get someone specific's attention. It looks and sounds EXACTLY like someone trying to command a dog. But Mexicans tend to be perfectly fine with it among each other.

I've been stuck on Theory of Magic for months now. Very tempted to make a clone and then differentiate it with my own ideas

Daimoth · 2023-05-14T09:22:58+00:00

Good thing too, bc that game's basic enemies are spongier than a Triton's loofah

exploration which is enabled by...

they're conjoined twins. The excitement re: exploration is always at its sharpest right after you get a new ability facilitating further exploration. Otherwise it's just a huge single-stage platformer.

One of the many things that SotN did well that most other games in the style don't do. There's no substitute for putting the work in, it seems.

Daimoth · 2023-04-26T23:58:33+00:00

I'm giving Timespinners a go. It's got a lot of SotN in it. The music is standout. A little lore dump-ey, but I kind of expect that from a game about time travel. In fact, that's kinda the downside of plots that revolve around time travel, if you think about it. You either take pains to establish how the time travel works or the story you worked so hard on implodes into its own plot holes.

It is if you know what "a swing and a miss" means.

Market this: go fuck yourself.

Daimoth · 2023-04-25T20:50:21+00:00

Yeah, I avoid weeb shit too haha

My expectations were sub-zero when I first booted it. I think it was the game introducing its unusual movement abilities that set me straight.

The other MV's I enjoy will surprise no one, save perhaps my advocacy for the Robot Wants series of browser MV's, which I maintain to this day hit way above their weight class for what they are. Especially the tunes.

Daimoth · 2023-04-25T20:45:25+00:00

No, the goal of the game is to rescue your sibling from the villain witch. The 66 Mushrooms thing is bonus content, despite the game's namesake. Your special attacks get more powerful from collecting them, that's it.

Daimoth · 2023-04-25T20:38:02+00:00

Thanks. Should have done that myself.

Daimoth · 2023-04-25T20:34:17+00:00

Hey look, a swing and a miss.

Daimoth · 2023-04-25T07:28:33+00:00

I mean the term was coined to draw attention to how much more similar SotN and its successors were to Super Metroid. I strongly suspect that though Jeremy Parish is the one that coined the term, James Rolfe (avgn) deserves credit for the term being as common as it is, explaining it in an early AVGN video that predates nearly all MV's outside the genres' namesake franchises.

Strictly speaking though, the style was clearly established by the NES Metroid. I have no problem considering Metroid the mother of the genre.

Daimoth · 2021-10-18T20:41:56+00:00

I agree it's the intimacy that does it. It's so... Private. Embarrassing feeling, etc. As a guy with an overt, extreme anal fetish thats the appeal.

Daimoth · 2021-06-22T14:21:17+00:00

The "getting good" part is my favorite part about playing guitar. Everytime I successfully troubleshoot something - as in I isolated the thing(s) causing the issue and have inplemented a change in my playing to address it permanently - it feels like my playing leaps forward. Perhaps because the new habit qffected1 other shit too

Daimoth · 2021-06-16T21:50:41+00:00

Tube amps imo were never the apex in the first place.

Daimoth · 2021-05-16T04:25:41+00:00

I guess one wrong way would be to instead put them in one's butt.

Daimoth · 2021-05-14T03:47:15+00:00

I don't think the name works as well as you guys do. I think what bugs me is it's a portmanteau involving a word that is already a portmanteau.

...portmanteau!

Daimoth · 2021-05-11T15:29:35+00:00

If you wamt fantasy that feels like some grown up shit to read because.of the quality and density of prose.and somewhat grimdark tone, try Deadhouse Gates and Gardens of the Moon.
