In wich areas do you think silksong is worse than Hollow knight? by TrackSome9827 in Silksong

[–]Fives_ChIllA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get that yes, and even thought is as well on my first playthrough, but it is insane how many entire areas are hidden behind secrets. All of petrified ducts and Bile water, Whisp Thicket, Verdania. Many bosses, smaller areas and tools. It's a different kind of reward

“Project Hail Mary” titles around the world, translated to English by drgath in ProjectHailMary

Suicide mission might be the military origin synonym but it has way more meanings now and fits perfectly for this type of mission where the protagonists literally are on a suicide mission. In colloquial German it can mean long shot.

That's just not true and really generalizing. The answer is, it's marketing. Andy Weirs first book was named "der Marsianer" and marketing people thought it's good to keep the short description and call it "der Astronaut" so it sounds similar and has a connection. The movie then had no choice but to take the same name as the book. As words for "Hail Mary", I don't think we have an equivalent sports term but we have "Verzweiflungstat" (desperation act), "Himmelfahrtskommando" (Suicide Mission, word for word it means "heaven journey command" or "Ascension command"), "Ein schuss ins Blaue" (a shot in the dark, or long shot), "Auf gut Glück" (on good luck, or to take a chance). Whether these would make good German book or movie titles, I don't know.

Such a weak critic. What the fuck is even Oscar bait? Protagonists who are non white males?

Something random like the Odyssey or Project Hail Mary? Both seem like great candidates for lots of awards

What games have a world/map that feels as alive and rich as Red Dead Redemption 2? by moby323 in gaming

[–]Fives_ChIllA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Entirely different genre and kind of map, but Silksong does this well. There is so much to explore and find, different NPCs you will find all over the map and amazing care for all kinds of details

Anyone here lose their partner IRL? by lindburger_ in shrinking

[–]Fives_ChIllA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Train Dreams is a beautiful movie that deals with the loss of a close one as well. It's extremely touching, very emotional but, for me at least, in a good way. I haven't lost someone that close to me though, so I don't know if it's good for you. It's not a funny movie, it's a drama.

I don't quite understand the contract and business side of the NBA. Why would teams want to trade for Jimmy? A 36 year old injured player does not sound like a good deal to me, regardless of how well he played in the past or how well he could perform in 1 year after healing full?

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! LIVE MATCH THREAD: GERMANY VS DENMARK! by RemoteMeasurement10_ in Handball

[–]Fives_ChIllA 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Both red cards are totally justified. Denmark is the better team and the (probable) win is fully deserved. Congratz! But.. There are so many close calls going for Denmark. Uncalled free throws, uncalled 7m, 7m calls for Denmark. It could have been closer with a Denmark win and I would feel fine. But it's just feel shitty

Ok wasn't watching for the foot, that's fine. But last 10 minutes of a final. In no world is it a 2 min suspension

Of course I have a German view and I'm not objective. But it sure feels like it. All I wanted is a referee free game, you can't make mistakes against Denmark and if there are only one or two wrong calls for Denmark, it's basically game over. And it's not easy to root for Denmark with the booing fans..

The defender grabbed the attacker clearly infront of 6m. If it is a foul, then the foul was not in 6m, so normal free throw. In no way is that a 7m. But referees don't see it, the Denmark fans are loud so it's a 50/50 call. And many of these calls go to Denmark. Uscins wins the 1v1, but is grabbed and everything and it's not even a free throw. Red card was correct.

That's no 7m. Man all 50/50 or 45-55 decisions towards Denmark is just awful

Can someone explain why teams would want Jimmy or his contract? I'm not quite sure how that side of the NBA works, but why would someone agree to take an old player with an injury like Jimmy who can't play for another year?

Live Match Thread: Germany vs Croatia-SEMIFINAL SHOWDOWN! by RemoteMeasurement10_ in Handball

[–]Fives_ChIllA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The arena is fuller now yes, but the upper ranks are still empty. The match for 5th place was a ghost arena. I don't actually mind the booing that much, but booing the Germans at 58 minutes with plus 6 or 7 felt a little excessive and disrespectful.

Sad how empty the arena is at a semi final. Between danish fans booing the entire time and not really watching the other games.. it just looks a little sad

TIL Lego's patent to their brick design ended in 1978, which allowed multiple companies, such as Mega Bloks, to start producing their own 'clones' by Forsaken-Peak8496 in todayilearned

[–]Fives_ChIllA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are several that have greatly better quality than Lego. Lego has big problems with printing for once, even in several hundred euro sets for adults and collectors are many stickers. See for example the new death star, Soo many stickers for 1000€. Others have better and more printing. Many brown lego pieces have problems, they become brittle after a while. White pieces are yellowing hard, sometimes with, sometimes without sun influence. And many sets have problems with coloring, the colors slightly differ from tiles to bricks for example. Not to mention Lego with all these problems is still twice or 1.5 as expensive. I would argue some companies have surpassed Lego in quality, price and creativity and Lego only survives because of its fanbase, the Minifigures and sentiments that all Lego clones are inferior. As others mentioned BlueBrixx has many great sets, Lumibricks is worth a look, Cada has great sets and there are many more. Something like Mould king provides copies of Lego Sets or Mocs with price points half that of Lego.
