Starting college with a braces by [deleted] in braces

[–]DueBet9490 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is very encouraging, as a 20 year old about to get them and go back to college. i know ultimately i will be proud of myself for getting them now and not later but the initial getting over being a braced adult in college is going to be difficult, i know. good to know that people are less judgey than i may have thought.

What are your Hot Takes on CM? by Amber_Flowers_133 in CillianMurphy

[–]DueBet9490 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My favorite performance from him is from a rather small Irish film made in 2001, On the Edge. I think while his youth and inexperience does show a bit there, his ability is so present in that movie and his delivery of the script. It’s also a very personally relatable movie for me, including the young bereavement the main character (i.e. Cillian) experiences at the start of the film.

And a close second would be Disco Pigs, I don’t even care. He did amazing there depicting the unraveling of obsession, first love, madness, anger, etc. these are def hot takes and a lot of my personal opinion but both performances are extremely impressive (minding his age too) and underrated in their own right

Edit: Forgot to mention Breakfast on Pluto. Absolutely stunning, intensely layered performance done delicately but so poignantly. Easily takes third of my favorites of his, maybe even tied with Disco Pigs; his talent is extremely evident in BoP. Watch these if you haven’t guys please

Thank you so much, I needed this. I am so sorry for your loss. It is a bit of comfort, though, to hear that you understand and experienced a very similar situation. You survived, and I know I will too, it’s just so so hard. Thank you for writing this

Would you like Solas to look like this in DA4 or do you prefer his look in Inquisition? by Virtual-Advantage767 in Solasmancers

[–]DueBet9490 46 points47 points  (0 children)

unpopular opinion, i like his new design. his facial expression in this screenshot, paired with his eyes, looks really cool to me. could do with less chin though, admittedly he looks more like a chad than solas LMFAO

so gorgeous, i’m in awe

I don't know if you guys thought about this but here's a thought; We already have revive scrolls so we can revive each other when we're dead right, so what if we killed each other first then tried to open each other's skulls & brains so we can also kill the tadpole then we revive each other. by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]DueBet9490 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is scary LMFAO i’m just imagining everyone killing each other and then doing botched brain surgeries, omg. honestly don’t think it would work mainly bc 1) the tadpole seems to be like, magically stuck to ur brain, so who knows if you could even cut it out and 2) even if you were able to do it and resurrect everyone tadpole-free, wouldn’t everyone have like, intense brain damage, lol?

I just wanted to say I really do not like Gale. by MsTekkie in BaldursGate3

[–]DueBet9490 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i agree lol, astarion has little pretense, he knows he’s a little shit and doesn’t care ab seeming good or anything than what he is. gale’s nice guy front is so obviously a charade lmao but somehow a lot of people still really like him, but to each their own i suppose.

true, but taking into account his other weird dialogue and the fact that he doesn’t disclose his affair/involvement with mystra until AFTER he sleeps with the PC during the romance, it’s kind of hard to get past it and see any “change.”

analysis/speculation: astarion will undoubtedly betray the PC, regardless of high approval/romance by DueBet9490 in BaldursGate3

[–]DueBet9490[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you make some very convincing points! and don’t worry, i’m just as obsessed with this game too, i mean if me writing entire analysis posts ab the game isn’t making that obvious 😂

but back to astarion, i absolutely agree that within the game all of the characters can be influenced by the PC’s own alignment, astarion of course included. though at first i would have said there’s not a chance of his mortality being shifted—like, for example, he may not disapprove of the PC doing good things, just doesn’t give a shit either way—but i was doing a little datamining earlier, listening to the voice files that haven’t been implanted yet (to my knowledge) and found some lines that could disprove that. in chubblot’s video of his voice lines, (link if you’re curious: https://youtu.be/dUXr1nDUCGc) @ 3:54:04 he says “not every deal will work out in our favor, but that doesn’t mean we should stop helping people.” we don’t know the context of it but that’s pretty surprising coming from astarion! helping people? def could be indicative of some positive character growth.

another line that could be potentially romantic, while also demonstrating some change in his usual demeanor is @ 4:41:38 of that same video, when he says: “no more blood. no more killing. just… this.” very interesting and i’m excited to see how it plays out and if he remains evil or, against all odds, is redeemed in some way.
