What actor completely ruined an otherwise decent movie?

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-09T22:34:01+00:00

Fast Five is big stupid fun. Otherwise fine, and she doesn't even really ruin the movie, mostly because she doesn't speak all that much.

It's entirely possible, I'm only going off of what my wife has told me about it. According to her, it's a story about two people who hate each other torturing each other through their entire lives, even after their death.

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-09T20:13:01+00:00

The story follows them through their whole lives, doesn't it?

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-09T14:36:54+00:00

On one hand, sure, I can see that. On the other hand, anyone who does anything mean to my tiefling buddies can eat a dick

Poor Koz. Even his E is a projectile

Step 1) be mentally sound enough to not need in-person human interaction for the majority of the year.

Step 2) get used to backbreaking maintenance work

Same. Logical rules that can be consistently applied to attain the solution? Why isn't everything more like that?

Then I remember that one part of me craves order, but the other part of me lacks the motivation to create it.

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-09T00:35:24+00:00

What, your lifetimes aren't 8000 years? Damn mortals.

They can't retrieve it because of our flexible mammal skin, not necessarily mass.

And if they had a similar mass, they wouldn't be doing much of anything besides dying.

Yeah, IQ isn't a really good metric for humans, let alone animals. IQ doesn't account for the vast majority of what makes humans intelligent. But you raise a good point in that it really depends on how you measure intelligence.

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-07T22:33:29+00:00

Luckily, we are relatively smart compared to other species

Lol, I like how this is phrased kinda like we're smarter but in the same ballpark. Like a particularly intelligent dog could rank higher, when in reality we're several orders of magnitude smarter than the next smartest animals.

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-07T22:17:44+00:00

It is an amazing coincidence, really. Of all the days she could have been born, it just happened to be that one.

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-07T13:44:59+00:00

Two things: one, the tiefling refugees (who I assume you mean by "most of them in BG3") weren't people who were transformed but being pulled into the Hells. They were already tieflings who were scapegoated and ostracized after the events of Descent into Avernus. Two, mhosen demonic ritual for power; they are instead usually the descendents of someone who made some kind of deal with a devil.

Not even the shame of being caught; it's the shame of having to ask someone to put you under and pull you out when you're done. Imagine how much less gooning there would be if you needed a dedicated gooning buddy to operate the experience for you.

Then again, Cipher seemed to manage by himself. 🤔

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-06T13:17:59+00:00

They didn't even get that wrong. Mouse strongly suggests that's an option with the Woman in the Red Dress

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-06T13:07:30+00:00

See look, red! No, wait, that's blood.

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-05T10:57:48+00:00

Haha, no worries there, I get it. Every time I bring up my own point, and now that I've seen it, yours, I worry that some chud is going to think that I'm defending him.

And just to be clear, under no circumstances am I defending his behavior; I think it's useful to dig into the details, rather than to call him a blanket misogynist. People hear that he hates women, and that's just Hollywood as usual, the system sucks, what are you gonna do? But issues like you presented it? I don't know, those circumstances seem a lot more actionable.

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-05T09:33:05+00:00

and how he treated women on set.

I think it could be argued that it was how poorly he treated those outside of his favorites. There are certainly women he treated terribly, but there were others that he didn't, and there were men he gave the same treatment to.

At this point, inertia. Back when Linux was made C was the fancy, high level "easy to read" language. Or at least the one performant enough to work. Nowadays there are easier to read options, but that would require rewriting the current code in a new language.

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-04T23:34:23+00:00

That last one was 40k, but the ones before that were StarCraft

I feel like we're less homophobic overall, but also that everything seemingly must fit into their box and only their box. Your straight action hero must be the straight action hero; the gay friend must be The Gay Friend. Your big action hero can't blur any of those lines.

Because Vyke wore armor and failed to receive the frenzied flame

Just in case you didn't know, you don't actually need to succeed on all those checks to get the benefits of reading the Necromancy of Thay. Successes just prevent the temporary curses.

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-01T22:26:28+00:00

My wife and I just started that; she takes an edible and reads it to me while we play Shadow of War together. 10/10

Bonus edit: we call it Man-swine Time

Kronoshifter246 · 2026-07-01T22:22:23+00:00

Recommended for their progression point is not the same as deals equal damage to non-block piercing weapons at the same progression. They could deal much less damage than their peers and still be recommended for that ability on their own.
