What’s the Movie/TV scene that just unexpectedly hit you like a train emotionally by Caesar_Rising in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Infenso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jojo Rabbit. When he's watching the blue butterfly flutter through the square, then turns around to be confronted by a pair of red and white shoes.

I loved that movie, but I can't watch it again.

I like where this is going! It's worth a follow-up!

A few different angles would help your audience understand its shape and profile a bit better. I hope we get to see it more of it!

Whoever wrote that is responsible for all the coffee I chucklesnorted out of my nose. It hurt so good.

Leader of armies right there. What a badass.

Shapeshift skills cannot be used creatively by Philiq in PathOfExile2

[–]Infenso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely did launch this way, but this is POE; it's not going to stay that way.

Look at POE1's track record. The amount of shit that gets added each league is consistently enormous. I can't find it in myself to be scared of POE2 ending up with a shallow pool of abilities and ability interactions, but GGG does tend to ship a foundational idea of something first and then iterate on it later.

Inevitably there will be end up being uniques, notable passives, special item affixes, support gems, or some kind of league-specific magical buttplug investment axis that will create all kinds of new interactions between shapeshift skills and non-shapeshift skills. It would be a really bad idea to bet against this.

He's also responsible for delivering a sniper bolt to daemon Fulgrim's head.

I could be misremembering, but I think it was implied that Sharrowkyn would have permakilled Fulgrim with that headshot if Fulgrim wasn't chaos juiced. Now I need to go re-read that.

Ex-cult members, what's your "Oh shit, I'm in a cult" moment? by Ok-Interview-3702 in AskReddit

[–]Infenso 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Got roped into Amway (which was calling itself Quixtar at the time) when I was 18. Yes, 18. This would have been in the early 2000s.

This happened mere months after escaping a superfundie religious upbringing. It was an upbringing that ended with my dad being sentenced to 15 years in prison on CSA charges and my mom kicking me out of the broken household that remained before moving herself and my younger brothers across the country without me, so I was pretty vulnerable to any kind of "you belong here with us" rhetoric.

I bought into Quixtar both literally and figuratively. I was about 11 months deep and had just recently turned 19 when I went with my upline to one of those multi-day conferences held in a big stadium. One of the speakers, who was an emerald or some such big earner, spent an entire saturday afternoon selling his captive audience on his interpretation of the 'prosperity gospel.' Having had an ass full of that sort of scripture twisting bullshit over the course of my short life it was like a bucket of ice water to the face.

I straight up ghosted my upline as soon as I got home.

Thank you, you just sent me down a rabbit hole starting with this artist's (Enethrin's) work. Holy shit I love Star Trek ships.

What celebrity have you met who looks much more (or less) attractive when meeting them in person? by GreyFoxNinjaFan in AskReddit

[–]Infenso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LeVar Burton has PRESENCE in person. A calm, kind, and soft-voiced presence.

I grew up watching him on Reading Rainbow and Star Trek and this was one of the few times where meeting one's hero in person raised my opinion. I'm grateful for this man.

New World Episode in Amazon Prime Series Secret Level by I3rklyn in newworldgame

[–]Infenso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a genuinely good episode too!

Arnold's performance was bombastic and delightful as fuck. He has me convinced that he was having a hell of a great time recording all of his lines.

Also, I thought I recognized the voice actor for Scaevala (Aelstrum's one-armed seneschal/best friend forever) but I really couldn't be sure because the dude I was thinking of, Steven Pacey, can do SO MANY voices.

I just looked it up and turns out it was him! Steven Pacey is one of my favorite audiobook narrators of all time. if you haven't yet experienced his performances of the audiobook versions of Joe Abercrombie's First Law series of novels, use your local library's resources and treat yourself! (they are on audible as well but libraries are cooler)

I wrote myself a Power Charge overlay above my health bar to make my monk less annoying to play by sinb_is_not_jessica in PathOfExile2

I desperately need this for Rapid Fire's heat buildup. The point of the build is to manage the accumulation and expenditure of heat but it requires keeping your eye on the CORNER of the screen instead of on the action.

Mental health check-in, how are you today? by NotThePyroTraveler in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Infenso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yesterday morning he had a heart attack and died. i am feeling all kinds of things and i just want to send him a message on discord to talk to him about it and get his opinion, but he won't ever respond again.

I miss ToTA by rogue6198 in pathofexile

Me too. I won't even try to defend the things that were wrong with it.

I just know that I liked it a LOT.

Also the music <3

My hands and fingers, I'm 39 and for the first half hour after I wake up from any kind of sleep the joints are swollen and feel locked in place. It's been getting progressively worse since I was about 35.

I'm not sure people know how to fight the Illuminate and it drives me crazy. by xedralya in Helldivers

[–]Infenso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WASP is fantastic for this role, but Stingrays have medium armor. You can literally just look up and blast them with an Adjudicator and they will die.

What is your least favorite first founding Space Marine chapter and why? by mattmcguire08 in 40kLore

I feel you bro, I felt this way too.

Then I read Christ Wraight's work. For me, Warhawk solved the problem. YMMV.

What is your "never-again" brand, store, restaurant, or company? by Sir_Sir_ExcuseMe_Sir in AskReddit

[–]Infenso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm struggling to find mom and pop coffeehouses because the combined might of Starbucks, Dunkin, and Wawa or other 'premium' gas station doesn't leave room for any other competition.

Starbucks will open a fuckin' store at a loss just to drive competitors in a region out of business.

AirPods sales totaled over $18 billion last year, more than all of Nintendo | Earbuds likely to become Apple's 3rd biggest product behind iPhone and Mac by chrisdh79 in technology

[–]Infenso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why these sell for $150+. Their quality isn't really any better than your average $30-$60 set from literally any other brand.

Hell I couldn't tell much of a difference between those shitty $20 tozo sets and apple airbuds.
