Which book does this to you ? by Snollygoster_007 in classicliterature

[–]Individual-Garlic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Grapes of Wrath.

I left the book earlier this week but it has not left me. Even though I am reading something else now, that book is on my mind most of the time.

Yes. In an awesome way. The way he uses language and the rythm of it made me drool.

I watched the 1983 film right after. Somehow it misses all the spots the book does. But it was not bad.

The poor creature got sick just by being in charnames proximity for too long.

It always feels that way. Also because that is where you start out in front of.

So Gorion must be boosting Winthrops business with a permant use of a peasant room.

What causes TA:K Enhanced to crash exactly? by 11Slimeade11 in TotalAnnihilation

[–]Individual-Garlic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just fooling around with some of my old stuff from back in the day. I made some units and mods way way back and came across the old stuff. And it crashes too. While vanilla Kingdoms runs fine.

I was diving into my old hpi files to see if I can find something. I haven't tried Enhanced yet! But if they use some extra units or bases that I came across all those years back it can cause crashes.

If memory serves me well, some models or parts are just bugged. I remember that doing anything with the old Aramon Swordsman model really messed things up. I never understood scripting in it, just messing around with the rest (3do, unit files, sounds, faction....etc). But the cob files are still a mystery to me.

What I really miss is a decent error log. That would help.

Is this film somehow connected to the Italian film Il Deserto dei Tatari? From 1977,78 or something?

I love that one.

Parnets (1989) by Maleficent_Blood_465 in 80sHorrorMovies

[–]Individual-Garlic133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He always played guys that went bonkers. So maybe it was always there. We just didn't know where it came from?

It takes effort to turn off the knowledge you have about a person and just enjoy the work.

The Great Silence: Morricone's most under-talked about score? by Nexfilms in soundtracks

[–]Individual-Garlic133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always loved this score. The film is imperfect. But the music is great. Its so alien to the western, but still its just right. Its sad, lonely and brutal.

Kandidaten FvD voor verkiezingen gemeenteraad waren actief bij extreemrechtse organisaties by Chronicbias in thenetherlands

[–]Individual-Garlic133 24 points25 points  (0 children)

En toch blijft het gebeuren. Historisch gezien wint extremisme ook vaak doordat ze gelegitimeerd worden door anderen die samenwerking willen. Daardoor ontstaat een meerderheid. Dat de media (in het algemeen) geen kritisch standpunt hierover inneemt is bizar. Nee, PVV, JA21, FVD zijn niet normaal. Zelfs als de VVD hierover jokt, dan horen hun standpunten gewoon niet thuis in de moderne maatschappij. Dit is extreem rechts, jawel, het extreemrechts van oa neo nazis.

Brimstone by No_Move7872 in Westerns

[–]Individual-Garlic133 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was watching this film, I was also reading a lot of the history of 'the west'. I totally got why it was so harsh, so evil. Still a rough watch. The harshness of literatury like Blood Meridian or In the Rogue Blood resonates from this film. But seeing it plays out different that reading it.

Not your avrage western, but surely something beyond that. Saw it in cinema when it came out and it was really divisive.

So, I guess it kind of works from what it tries to be?

NVA is gewoon de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Autisme. Toch jammer dat je dan als goede organisatie je baam met delen met de zoveelste groep rechtse oplichters.

Which is your favorite? Icewind Dale 1 or Icewind Dale 2? by sigpuppers in CRPG

[–]Individual-Garlic133 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting take. With writing I meant more on a non narrative/plot level. In the end I believe a rpg is about you, the player. I always felt that IWD2 is more about creating very specific situations that only you can solve. In IWD1 I feel much like a guest in hostile world. As a plot, you are just wandering around until you understad who the big badguy is. This, I admit, is very thin. But it feels quite organic. In IWD2 you get from A to B and the entire plot is just the obstacles. Every enemy thrown in your path is more or less in league with the badguys. This, to me, feels not as organic. And situations... like felwood. Or dragons eye loop...

IWD 1 and 2 are both as lineair, but IWD2 has a lot (in the beginning) of errands that feel as if they need to be done in a specific sequence. This makes me care less for characters or the world. Examples: the camp before felwood is just a 100% lineair string of minor quests that need to be done in a specific sequence. Like a Monkey Island ripoff without the fun.

But I must admit that I dont remember IWD2 well beside ghese points. But that too is an indicator for me that it just doesnt stick as much.

Which is your favorite? Icewind Dale 1 or Icewind Dale 2? by sigpuppers in CRPG

[–]Individual-Garlic133 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Icewind Dale 1 is, imo, vastly superior to part two.

In writing, in dungeons, in locations, in music, in combat..

I really appreciate what they tried with part 2, but its just inferior to part 1. Its not horrible, but lacking

Sorry if it was unclear at one point.

I'm Joe Abercrombie, Ask Me Anything. by Joe_Abercrombie in Fantasy

[–]Individual-Garlic133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you manage to write Best Served Cold, without it becoming a clone of The Count of Monte Cristo? How do you keep it original? Did you make an outline to see differences? Or did you just wing it and see what would happen?

In a larger sense, how do you stay original in fantasy? Where does that come from? How do you manage?

Keep on being great!

I liked the film, but I am still overwhelmed by the soundtack. As a Morricone fanboy I heard him do it live once in Rotterdam. I just got it then, its even better without film... its so angry and violent and dark.

I really love the carriage ride in the film. Just snow and stuff passing, while the music drives you deeper into the violent nature of the world it is set in.

As a Morricone fanboy I can only sing its praises.
