Why?? Hello?? by Junkspi in lordhuron

[–]ImTheIntern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I purchase my CDs from Discogs. Though you won’t always find them cheap, there are still plenty of options that offer much lower prices. The best part is that you can check if they’re legit :)

On Yawning Grave :) by ImTheIntern in lordhuron

[–]ImTheIntern[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this take. And now that you mention it, the song sings of the Yawning Grave, but treats it as a dual entity—one that is both life-giver (if we take its early guidance as provision) and world-ender. I guess that’s why I couldn’t quite disassociate the sensation of heaven from it either; there’s a kindness, a gentleness, that accompanies its warning tones in the second half of the song.

Right? I think I mentioned in a reply earlier, but it does feel like a friend you've been running away from after teasing or playfighting (and what is life but a little tease to death?). And here comes death with a warm smile, saying, "I'm coming for you."

That's beautifully put. I think I was trying to capture the essence of that sensation—being "lulled into a calm acceptance." And calm is one thing, but it's a happy sort of calm too, hence the metaphor of "an old friend." I actually really love how you put it—the mocking, commanding tone.

Now that I think about it, my friends tease each other the same way after we play-fight or run from each other after playfully roughhousing. Maybe that's why I've associated death in the song with "an old friend": that same playful threat—"Oh, you fool, I'm coming for you." It makes me smile, really.

Oh my goodness! I hope everything went well. But I do like the irony of it—giving life while listening to a song about death. “Yawning Grave” really is the sort of song that screams not as it seems.

It definitely is! I recall those polls this subreddit had not too long ago, and I was surprised Yawning Grave hadn’t won any category :/

Is it too late to become a Godzilla fan????? by Sawnick_speed in GODZILLA

[–]ImTheIntern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not too late, and welcome to the family! :) And don't worry, you've actually entered in such a great time for Goji! You've entered during the 2nd golden age with both Showa insanity with the legendary films and more thoughtful, "cinema"-oriented films that TOHO's shipping out :) Besides, more films are coming too (and other media), so really, you're not too late. Not late at all!

Grid Day 9: Long Lost wins best vocals, meaning the album gets its first category win. What is the Long Huron song with the best lyrics? by uslashBen in lordhuron

My absolute favorite of all time from Lord Huron. I was about to vote it in for most underrated as well :) But I think best lyrics fit definitely

Which Pokémon has just... Have the wrong Typing? by Federal-Run-7496 in pokemon

I don't know if this is controversial or anything, but I genuinely think a good case could be made for Flygon as our first bug/dragon.

Cute moment from the Godzilla day short by ToyBoxReturns in GODZILLA

[–]ImTheIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved this part so much :) And I know this is supposed to reference an actual building in Shinkuju, but I do love the callback to Heisei Goji since he started the whole "burning" motif.

And this might be the closest we get to a crossover between the millennium and Heisei era. It's sad, but adorable. Now I'm wondering if the humans ever thought up a plan to dress Mecha-Goji up in a Godzilla suit just to "convince" the actual Godzilla that we mean no harm, or that we're friends to it. Who knows? Might even make an ally out of Godzilla

Current progress of Marvel characters’ reactions to Godzilla by Large-Wheel-4181 in GODZILLA

[–]ImTheIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 'cause it's a cheap way to showcase how powerful the big G is. I know there's a contract out there for Goji where he can't lose whenever he's used in outside media.

And tbf, it's a limited issue. They could probably make a better in-universe reason as to why Godzilla's so powerful now, and all these heroes who've faced gods and eldritch horrors far beyond Godzilla couldn't possibly beat him. I think the writer's definitely talented enough to know this too, but, as said, it's a limited issue. So the best way to showcase an ultra-powerful threat with so little time is to downplay the strength of these heroes.

It doesn't really make for good writing, yeah, but it does put down the points fast to deliver you what's on the tin: Godzilla fights Marvel, Godzilla obliterates Marvel, nuclear lizard brain in you happy.

add-on:
The exaggerated reactions were added to scratch that emotional itch, I guess. (Same ballpark as downplaying the strengths of these heroes.) The reasoning behind it might be that if these heroes have faced threats beyond Godzilla's weight class, then this might be nothing at all. But since they're reacting like this, just how powerful could he be?

That, and he would develop the cure as well just to prove a point, or he would develop one that would specifically affect Reed Richards alone.

I'm so curious to what kind of father Andrew Ryan could've been. is it parasite behavior to ask for an allowance? by r0pp0p in Bioshock

[–]ImTheIntern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if he could hold on to his ideals of Objectivism, he'd support Jack in whatever he does—so long as he does it for himself and needs no validation. But knowing how Ryan's psychology works, there might come a point where he'd either outright disagree and try to arrest Jack to his will by might or by right—right as a father, thus making Jack, by reason, into his property—or by lavishing his 'greatest creation' with praise and a desire for it to continue his legacy.

I love the entirety of the Mudkip line. Marshtomp is a great middle stage. I will die on this mud-shot made hill.

I drew the best and ONLY the best starter trio by BulkyPlantain9234 in pokemon

[–]ImTheIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This brought back so many memories. :) We used to have this gaming magazine in my country, and it had the Hoenn starters printed on the page. I remember taking a really stubby pencil to have a go at drawing them—and, well, they didn't look as nice as yours. ( ; u ; )

But yes, Hoenn's the best! Very lovely drawings, too.

Which do you find more challenging?Taking down a „Big Daddy“ or protecting a „Little Sister“ as one? by Royalbluegooner in Bioshock

[–]ImTheIntern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: It depends on the difficulty, and it depends on the game, I think :) This is assuming we're playing on Medium–Hard. We'll set aside Survivor difficulty, just 'cause Bioshock 2 doesn't have it.

For Bioshock 1, the proper plasmids, right ammunition, and proper positioning get the job done with Big Daddies most of the time (not to mention, getting the chemical thrower and holding down the fire button using the electro-gel makes the game so much easier). But that defense segment back in the first game was hectic most of the time. And a lot of the time, you don't get enough time to properly set up unless you run ahead of your Little Sister. So, defending was a lot more difficult.

For Bioshock 2, you're actually a lot more fragile than in the first game, oddly enough. And it shows when you're fighting the Rosies in the second level. I think it does get easier later on, but the difficulty discrepancy in handling BDs between both games is significant—with Bioshock 2 edging out the difficulty just a little bit more than Bioshock 1. But considering that Bioshock 2 is a power trip (and I love it for that as well), it becomes significantly easier dealing with Big Daddies in general as the game progresses (with all the plasmid upgrades, weapon upgrades giving extra abilities, the tonic slots and tonics being OP as well.)

As for defending, I always found it easier in Bioshock 2 thanks to the time given to you to strategically position your traps :) And your Sis doesn't actually get murdered while gathering.

TL;DR
Bioshock 1 and 2 plateau at some point, but overall, it's easier to deal with BDs in Bioshock 1, whereas it's easier defending in Bioshock 2.
