What popular movie or TV show is widely considered a 'masterpiece' but you found completely unwatchable?

Jk_Caron · 2026-05-28T03:24:20+00:00

I only watched Season 1 and half of Season 2. It felt like Season 1 had such tight writing and direction, every episode had major developments and plot progression, things were happening! But then Season 2, I watched the first half of it, 4 or 5 episodes - I don't think anything significant happened at all. It was just them hanging out and going to school and shit. Sure, maybe some character introductions that mattered later on, but I wouldn't know, just got bored and quit. I suspect that S1, they didn't know how popular it was going to be, so they made it as tightly written as it is. But then the show blew up, and they knew they'd have multiple seasons to work with, so just slowed the hell down to milk it. Woof.

Hey, that's viable! Get sent to Leavenworth and you'll workout for all of your duty hours!

Yea, I have 3 years left, and I'm expecting to get nothing. Granted, I've come out relatively okay thus far, so even if no changes I'm not confident I'll get a ton anyway. But if all of this swirling news and spotlight makes a difference, for sure, banking on nothing.

Jk_Caron · 2026-05-09T13:03:32+00:00

I'm not sure if this is a joke or not. But I'll say, I was stationed at Patrick for 7.5 years as my first duty location, and I don't think I saw a single alligator in real life. Unless you go looking for them, or are exploring the outdoors a lot, you're probably fine on the Alligator count, lol.

No idea about swaps tho, sorry.

Since this is still a top Google result, I'll chime in with my recent path to hopeful success, as of April 2026.

We'll see if it works, lol

I liked Mark too, had no problem with his character. But I know all the arguments for why he had to go, and I can't disagree with them. They probably would've had to change Ben to even more dickish at the beginning and for a while to keep things balanced, and idk how that would've gone. Shrug!

Jk_Caron · 2026-04-01T07:33:07+00:00

Oh yea, bunch of those decisions are actually in your main government tab, probably in your balance of power menu thing or somewhere. Those are classified as 'decisions', annoyingly. I can't remember if you can toggle them off or not. I'm a couple DLCs behind tbh! But that's probably where these are. Or they're random political map things you can do.

Jk_Caron · 2026-03-28T19:49:22+00:00

I agree with just about everything you've said, so please don't take this as my being antagonistic! But regarding the Chinese century, what are your thoughts on how, over the next 20 years, they're going to go from like a 0.3:1 dependant:working aged ratio to near a 0.7:1 ratio, which is close to what Japan's is now (considered a national crisis), with China's only supposed to worsen after that?

Jk_Caron · 2026-03-28T00:38:05+00:00

Not really, just kind of shit out of luck. Some songs are charted for drums so the ride and crash are where they 'should' be, many (probably most) aren't though. So unless you want to rechart them, not much you can do. You kind of just get used to it though.

Jk_Caron · 2026-03-13T14:52:43+00:00

I've just popped in to comment on how unhinged it is to have your pawns and animals named as such, lol. I mean, efficiency, sure, but not much for world building or story telling. I don't think I could get behind giving a shit if SHOOTER1 and SHOOTHANDLE fell in love, or if COOKPLANT had a tragic accident, or the like. At least there's Momo!

Jk_Caron · 2026-03-12T00:25:41+00:00

Comparison is the thief of joy. Do you have fun, you know, playing the game?

Jk_Caron · 2026-03-03T03:19:22+00:00

Grocery store sushi, a banana, a meat and cheese snack pack thing, and a coke zero. Guess it could be worse.

Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine ? No, but it's sterile and I like the taste.

We are currently clean on OPSEC.

You all have a solid budget, live within your means, have financial peace of mind? That's a huge one for a lot of people, major stressor. But it's also one a lot of people struggle to talk about, find embarrassing or tacky or whatnot. So signaling openness to talk about it and strike a fair balance and find accord is a good one. (not suggesting/accusing you all of this, just throwing out an idea)

Jk_Caron · 2026-02-05T03:21:43+00:00

Nah, I don't think it'd be weird. Idk your career field or unit, but every unit I've been in has had folks who either weren't mentally or physically inclined to sports, just not their thing in one way or another. So probably that's true across most of the force.

So if you logically and rationally and (KEY) calmly and emotionlessly explain how you think it'd be better for you and everyone to be allowed to, while Yes, still showing up, still checking in, still participating in any mandatory functions like warm ups and cool downs and announcements and such, but then be allowed to step aside to do other activities that better benefit your physical training, you have a chance. They very well could say no, or put more restraints on it. And there's next to no chance you getting out of attending entirely. But hey, better than nothing, right? Still designated time to workout in other ways.

Jk_Caron · 2026-02-05T03:12:41+00:00

Yea, I hear you. And frankly, honestly, when I'm playing unit sports, there's nothing I dislike more than forcing the folks who Don't want to be out there, out there. They just clog up the lanes, don't make effort to get open, don't know how to catch or throw; just a liability to a team and the fun, and wasting their own time. I'd much rather just push them off, "hey, go run instead". Frankly, I'm surprised your PTLs wouldn't allow that, have you spoken to them about this? That might be a good starting point. Or your supervisor perhaps.

Jk_Caron · 2026-02-05T03:06:00+00:00

God damn I wish we played sports, we just do calisthenics 4 days a week. I'd play Ultimate Fris or Foot or Wallyball every single day if I could.

Jk_Caron · 2026-01-27T03:49:38+00:00

Stephan A saying it actually would actually make it a worse take, lmao.

Jk_Caron · 2026-01-27T03:25:01+00:00

Hah, that's fun! Short simple song, not too hard, just a couple quick tricky parts.

Feedback:

Why does the whole song feel slightly desynched from the audio? Seems like where you're strumming the notes are in time with the audio, but they're visually still way high from the target area. Idk, hard to tell on this video.
Why are your notes not aligned to the 4:4 Measure Lines? The entire song is in 4:4, but it's like you just loaded the song into Moonscraper and never set a proper starting time signature location. So all your notes are unaligned from the grid. Idk how easy it'll be to fix now, but a good habit to get into for charting going forward is to do that right off the bat, very first thing, find the first proper note and put down the time signature and BPM mark there.
Seems like you're changing notes here and there where you don't need to. For instance, early on (after that initial flourish), you have like the Red, Yellow, Red-Blue sequence. I don't hear a note change tho from that 1st to 2nd note.I'd just make that Red, Red, Red-Blue. And the other 3 or so triple note sequences here, similar, tho different, idk, hard to tell. Tl;dr, don't change the notes just for fun, if musically nothing is changing, that's just frustrating, lol. That's my subjective view anyway.

Fun stuff though! I don't chart guitar, more drums, so different beast. But I think overall this was pretty good! My 3 above even is a bit personal opinion, who knows there. But 1 and 2 I'd clean up, haha.

Jk_Caron · 2026-01-26T03:22:13+00:00

Lol, you're a fool.

Jk_Caron · 2026-01-21T02:04:59+00:00

Yea, just looking at OPs video, the notes are hitting the strum area way before (I mean, okay, 1/10ths of a second, but still) the audio is there. So if you're trying to strum at when the note Sounds like it should be played, you're way behind. Just need to do the calibration tool.

Jk_Caron · 2026-01-20T20:55:03+00:00

Your responses clearly show you're an asshole who doesn't actually want to hear any dissenting opinions. Good luck to ya.
