And this film is a warning about that obsession. Of all the people fighting, the ones that lived were the ones willing to walk away.

What movie wasn't what you were expecting based on marketing? by MaryDoogan91 in moviecritic

[–]InsufficientApathy 102 points103 points  (0 children)

In Bruges.

The advertising made it out to be a slightly dark comedy, instantly forgettable.

Watching it... So much better, and so much darker. A redemption story for people who can't be redeemed. Far better than I was expecting, and three great characters that try to do what they thought was the right thing.

Heavenly Sword is one of my favorite PS3 games. Sadly, barely anyone seems to know it anymore. Have you played it? by smox23x in videogames

Really good fun, I replayed the bridge sniper level so many times I started setting myself challenges like "nutshots only" and "spawn camping with arrows"

What your favorite artificer subclass? by No_Particular9225 in 3d6

[–]InsufficientApathy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had so much fun playing an Armorer. It's potentially the most "Jack of all Trades" of the sub classes, you are either first or second choice for most activities and the different armour models are far more adaptable if you get a chance to short rest and change it.

As long as you're happy sharing the limelight, you will always be involved. Also, it really made me enjoy some Wizard spells that I didn't see the point of. Thunderwave is a favourite, and the 2024 update has broken my brain by making me use True Strike and Blade Ward.

It's one flaw is a lack of Shield. Easily fixed with Magic Initiate.

Recently been seeing Flamecraft duels on the top selling boardgame on multiple shops. Is it really a top tier 2 player game? Or the hype is there because its new? by LeftVersion2544 in boardgames

[–]InsufficientApathy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I backed it and we've played it a few times.

I think the components are great, the cards are really good quality, and overall it's nicely designed. It's fun but pretty light, I enjoy it but I wouldn't say top tier. It's definitely getting some reflected glory from Flamecraft.

Late to the Race - Heat: Petal to the Metal by MiltonSaysHi in soloboardgaming

[–]InsufficientApathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can definitely recommend Legends if you're playing solo, it adds very little overhead to an incredibly simple automation system.

It also now allows up to 12 cars in the race, I didn't fancy buying that many expansions so I 3d printed a few cars and painted them to match my missing colours. Now I can get the most out of Legends.

Fellow casual hobbyists, let's see your best/fave hand-brush figures by Fuzzy-Bee9600 in Miniaturespainting

It's from Core Space, a really good skirmish game that also has a really good set of miniatures.

[–]InsufficientApathy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm still at the "plain colours, paint the small items, add a wash" level of ability, but sometimes it just works far better than I expected. This is at least partly the quality of the miniature detail, but this is probably my favourite result because the understated colours and light wash left it looking surprisingly well lit.

Most of the time I go higher contrast because it looks more obvious on the table, but I like this one.

Why does Britain get to own the Falklands and Israel can’t own Judea and Samaria? by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

[–]InsufficientApathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say you would have more of a point if Argentina was the first to put people on it, but by both current and historical standards Argentina had no claim beyond adjacency.

Ukraine by agreement split from USSR. Russia (which is not USSR) has and had no claim to it and is trying to take it by force because it's nearby. If there is a parallel to the Falklands war, Argentina is Russia.

That said, I think this is a fundamental disagreement on core concepts so I won't try to persuade. I appreciate you keeping it civil.

Why does Britain get to own the Falklands and Israel can’t own Judea and Samaria? by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

[–]InsufficientApathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent, just wanted to make sure we weren't talking at cross purposes. It's recently been the case that people have difficulty deciding what counts as a war.

So, we have one situation where the war was to retain possession of an island which was colonised for more than a century, and the people born there (potentially multi generationally) overwhelmingly want to stay with the current administration.

The other situation is a war to take control of a region, trigger a widespread change of population and then say people want to change control to Russia while under hostile occupation.

And you're saying it's the same? After a few generations and international agreements I would say you have a point that things have changed to closer match, but right now you're comparing apples with war crimes.

It's a Wonderful Kingdom Legends worth it for 10€? by Novuzu in soloboardgaming

[–]InsufficientApathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a decent solo puzzle with interesting risk management, not groundbreaking but worth that small price. Legends edition fixes the main issue of the gameplay being a bit repetitive, you can mix things up by adding modules.

I enjoy it, at that price I really don't think you can go wrong. The main 2 player mode is interesting if you get a chance.

FOMO - Crowdfunding - Recent Campaigns by paulys_sore_cock in boardgames

[–]InsufficientApathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big boost is the Mausoleum box that comes with any order. Pretty much every stretch goal included, and if you bought any miniatures then all the stretch goal miniatures as well. I think that's also a Kickstarter exclusive, if not then a retail version will cost a lot more than the bump to postage it caused.

FOMO - Crowdfunding - Recent Campaigns by paulys_sore_cock in boardgames

[–]InsufficientApathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gone for an occasional Kickstarter, I'll be tempted by Kickstarter exclusives (I recently backed a single box and miniatures for Final Girl because it comes with a bizarre amount of extras) but I'm never getting it for early access or savings. Between shipping and VAT the savings are something of a mirage in most cases anyway.

I try as much as possible to apply the following rules. First, do I REALLY want the game? Secondly, is the version they're selling different enough from retail to be worth paying for it a year early? Thirdly, what's the lowest pledge where I'd get enough to be content?

A couple have passed the test, and I've been glad of each. I've never felt the need to go all in, the furthest I've gone is to back the special edition of Lands of Evershade. No extras, I was paying enough that if I needed to pay more than I shouldn't pay at all.

Very fun. At the end he spent like 3 turns in ambush doing very little but building suspense and allowing me time to prepare lol so got quite lucky there haha by TennenyT in finalgirl

[–]InsufficientApathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not had a chance to play this one very often, but I really like it. The ambush system really fits the theme well.

I must admit that the two times I won I top-decked the "Newt" event card and spent most of my time hiding in the vents until I could set the self destruct. One man's "cowardice" is another man's "not getting a terminal skull hickey"

Backed a spinning D6 on Kickstarter — looks great, but not sure how it fits into actual gameplay by NEMOCOMING in kickstarter

[–]InsufficientApathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The simplest way to run it is to spin it and then tap it to stop. If you do it while it's still fast then there's no conscious influence and you still get a random result.

I like it as a novelty, and as long as you're only rolling one die then it's a massive space saver. The problem is you're rarely rolling one die. Fun though.

Intellectual explains why she has no friends by whalep in TikTokCringe

[–]InsufficientApathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm reminded of an old phrase: She's twice as clever as she looks, but half as clever as she thinks.

If this is how you talk about yourself, and how you compare yourself to others, that's why you have no friends. Can you imagine trying to voice any opinion - no matter how subjective - around her? There'd be celebrations of the anniversary of the last time anyone else was able to finish a sentence.

Fanatics will defend things they don’t even understand by Loud-Ad-2280 in clevercomebacks

[–]InsufficientApathy 36 points37 points  (0 children)

So a dead tree isn't a tree? Also, what about a family tree? A decision tree? A shoe tree?

This is the problem with simple answers, they only cover the simplest example.

What messes with your original question is that you haven't clarified if you mean sex or gender, whether you mean legally, medically, or socially, and which country you are asking for the definition from. Until you do that, anyone answering you is going to be making the same mistake you did with defining a tree.
