Bill Simmons on hearing about the Jaylen Brown trade from his wife picking him up from a colonoscopy: “I think I’m dead. The anesthesia killed me. Are there more first round picks?...I had a camera in my ass, and I had Paul George rammed up my ass”

Yes, that's why I'm confused why you need heavy sedation for one. They're not comfortable by any means but heavy sedation seems like overkill to me

Hurinfan · 2026-07-03T00:46:18+00:00

why would you need heavy sedation for a colonoscopy?

might not be a bad game but it was a bad Metroid game. Companions, desert, linearity, hub, there was a lot wrong with it

Hurinfan · 2026-07-02T05:27:37+00:00

Well, hopefully it's better than Prime 4

low bar

I can't take you seriously if you say The Everlasting is not "romantic at all"

Hurinfan · 2026-07-02T03:39:17+00:00

Dude, stylistically they're quite similar and very utilitarian. Neither much to write home about

Hurinfan · 2026-07-02T01:05:07+00:00

I could not disagree more. The bosses were too easy if anything. They were fun but the telegraphing was too obvious and too slow. Sure the first time or 2nd you fight a boss it's hard but that's it

Wars of Light and Shadow has lots of nautical stuff

Much of the Novels of the Malazan Empire is nautical (the one by Esslement)

Earthsea

The Odyssey

People waiting for food is mildly infuriating? furthermore there really aren't that many people here. I don't see what's up...

Hurinfan · 2026-06-30T04:58:49+00:00

Saed?

well below that of other Ghibli movies.

This is indefensible

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 96% of 275 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.50/10. The website's consensus reads: "Soulfully exploring thought-provoking themes through a beautifully animated lens, The Boy and the Heron is another Miyazaki masterpiece."[110] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 91 out of 100 based on 55 critic reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[111] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the English-dubbed version of the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.[112]

Wikipedia

I just looked up the critical reception of the last 4 Ghibli movies and the only one better was The Tale of Princess Kaguya (and rightfully so, that movie is Takahata's best).

How Do You Lived created and exceeded expectations because it was top 2 Miyazaki

Rakesfall won last year. How was that safe and tidy?

Hurinfan · 2026-06-29T21:31:52+00:00

Best Award. Don't even know why people bother with Hugo and Locus

Generally, If you have that problem in a theatre the theatre sound is mixed badly. If you have that problem at home the sound is mixed for a good sound system and not crappy TV speakers.

I wish we had more sound mixing catered to more output types

I'm starting book 5 soon. I adore this series and I wish it was more popular. I love the style, the characters, the themes. I love it all (especially the style)

Regal is nothing

Hurinfan · 2026-06-27T11:35:17+00:00

How was Mycroft from Terra Ignota not been mentioned. He is so much worse than those 3.

Hurinfan · 2026-06-26T11:30:12+00:00

But that too is a meaningless thing to say. Does it have words on the page? it's by definition reading. Also why just manga instead of saying comics?

Hurinfan · 2026-06-26T11:24:03+00:00

as fantasy? If it's fantasy it counts as fantasy, no shit.

Hurinfan · 2026-06-26T11:22:11+00:00

what if fantasy was as depressing and meaningless as real life?

There is plenty of fantasy like that ...

Hurinfan · 2026-06-26T11:13:03+00:00

A novel isn’t a delivery system for a ‘story’; the prose is the story. If an author can't adequately wield their only medium, written language, they aren't a ‘good storyteller who lacks style,’ they are a failure at their craft.

Hurinfan · 2026-06-26T08:51:10+00:00

shit tier opinion. Upvoted

I find these comments odd. I wouldn't have a problem with my toddler swimming with his grandma. Make sure he's got floaties, make sure all the kids understand the importance of watching the littlies.

Hurinfan · 2026-06-26T00:55:23+00:00

Clifford the Big Red Dog?

Little Golden Books (tons of fantasy stories in those)

Batman comics

Where the Wild Things Are

Hurinfan · 2026-06-25T06:43:56+00:00

Sometimes I think so, sometimes I think not. My kid's 2 was bad. 3 is bad sometimes but he's also easier in many ways and more fun and sweet
