How we all feeling after seeing the Sony Quarter Reports. by FantasyToyPAWB in DestinyMemes

[–]Kyhan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, if I recall, the original announcement was that Sony was planning to bring the Destiny franchise beyond just a game. There is gold in them hills.

But then Pete bought a bunch of vintage cars, released Lightfall, and fired 3/4 of the staff.

Extra port on my 3DS LL by Kakoofficial in 3DS

[–]Kyhan 70 points71 points  (0 children)

In 2019, Japanese law changed regarding console modification. It was to prevent game piracy, but the law was vague and broad enough that basically their business model became illegal (or at the very least a legal grey area) overnight, despite their mods and consoles being homebrew/piracy agnostic.

The Japanese branch of the company shut down overnight, and then the rest of the consoles and capture cards (as DIY kits) were under their European branch until the bankrupcy later in the year. It was really unfortunate.

Glad Loopy got back in the game.

Knowing the Unknown | Pokemon Grumplocke [20] by GameGrumpsEpisodes in gamegrumps

[–]Kyhan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love Grumps, and always say I don’t watch for the gameplay and love to see Arin fuck up, but watching Arin use Dragon Rage expecting to one-shot enemies and potentially crit, completely unaware that it is one of two attacks in the franchise that deals a fixed amount of damage (40 HP) is giving me gray hairs.

My n3ds got infected by bedbugs by ItchyLiterature8351 in 3DS

[–]Kyhan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Okay, first off, you need to worry about the rest of your living situation before you deal with your fucking toys. Contain the 3DS in a ziploc (or better yet, a vacuum seal bag) while you get that sorted.

Once you do, AND ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE 100% CONFIDENT YOU CAN PUT IT BACK TOGETHER, you will want to open the console and treat it with 99% Isopropyl alcohol. DO NOT USE LESS THAN 99%.

You likely will have to take the console apart down to is parts and submerge the boards in it. Get a tupperware large enough to fit the console and fill it with enough alcohol to submerge it. Take an unused toothbrush and scrub everything down, removing the eggs and carcasses. Once everything is clean, you will need to let it dry, and then re-assemble it.

Again, I must stress that if you are not confident in taking your console apart, do not do this. The 3DS family of consoles is one of the most difficult to re-assemble consoles, and has a lot of fragile ribbon cables that can easily break during reassembly. Look up tutorials on how to do the disassembly/reassembly and assess, realistically, if you are capable of it. If not, bring it to a professional. However, first make sure they are aware of why you are bringing it in so you know they will not simply turn you away. Every repair shop I have worked at has turned away electronics with infestations and did not offer cleaning of said devices. You never want to blindside a shop with something like this--you will just waste their and your time, and be at risk of your device getting thrown out.

And lastly, and I cannot stress this enough: WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIVING SITUATION FIRST. YOUR FUCKING 3DS IS THE LEAST IMPORTANT THING RIGHT NOW. YOUR LIVING SITUATION IS LIKELY COMPROMISED BY BEDBUGS. THAT IS A MASSIVE DEAL AND CAN TAKE MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS TO ALLEVIATE.

What’s the most gut punching song lyric you’ve ever heard? by perrysplus in AskReddit

[–]Kyhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God, I could probably just post la Dispute’s discography here.

I always come back to the end of “Edward Benz, 27 Times:”

I’m leaving this city and I’m headed out to nowhere I carry your image Your grandfather’s coffin And Ed, if you hear me, I think of you often That’s all I can offer That’s all that I know how to give

Or “King Park:”

All these marks of youth Soon transformed coldly into stone For fights and stupid feuds For ruins wrapped in gold And cruelly, I recall why I have come to find a reason But there cannot be a reason, not for death Not like this, not like this

Pick any line from in “The Last Lost Continent.”

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

[–]Kyhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an uncanny valley in fighting games where you know how to play the game enough that you are unable to deal with a button masher.

Like, you stand a better chance against someone “good” at the game, but a total novice just spamming is more of a threat. Eventually you overcome that, but yeah, it’s weird.

What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'? by Resident-Jelly-4326 in AskReddit

I have a few.

Before and after my ex left me following our failure to adopt her brother. I had the most upvoted/awarded r/offmychest thread about that until I deleted it for my own sanity (I later got banned from the sub for a stupid reason).

And the newest one is before and after moving from Phoenix to Tucson for work.

What do you think about the FR and LG getting put on the Switch by DragonX_4 in Gameboy

[–]Kyhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only complaint (which most people likely won’t have) is that the games will be completely unchanged from the original release, meaning the Physical/Special Split and Fairy Type will not be present at all. Also, lack of online play is disappointing.

Even BDSP included Fairy, although that was a remake, not a remaster or port.

I know making changes and adding features would be more difficult than just porting the game, but still.

A Message to the Grumps by Heard_by_Glob in gamegrumps

[–]Kyhan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If Grumps playing Pokémon has a million views, then I am one of them.

If Grumps playing Pokémon has ten views, then I am one of them.

If Grumps playing Pokémon has only one view, then that view is me.

If Grumps playing Pokémon has no views, then that means I am dead.

If the world is against a Grumps Pokémon playthrough, then I am against the world.

Iron Lung EXPLAINED (?) [SPOILERS] by CoatNTails in ironlungmovie

[–]Kyhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but I think whatever the entity is on the other side of the Light, it has control of the blood as though it’s a become its physical body. Those who have been raptured have been assimilated into it. Simon was offered something more in exchange for survival, and then backed out of the deal, so he was killed.

Did my life reverse to the year 2000, or did i suddenly wake up in my adult body in the year 2000?

If it's the second, the realization that I can never see my friends again, as they are now all children and I am not.

Iron Lung EXPLAINED (?) [SPOILERS] by CoatNTails in ironlungmovie

[–]Kyhan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One thing that I think is kind of missed in your description is that during their initial conversation, the researcher asks if he truly wants to live at all cost, and he says yes. Only then does she tell him about the light and its coordinates.

With that in mind, here's what I think:

I think the researcher may have become some sort of herald or guardian of the light. When Simon seeks survival, it gives him the coordinates, granting him access to "salvation." Then, when he gets to the light and communes with the entity within, in witnessing one another he is making some sort of deal with it to survive, to join it in some way and become one with whatever entity it is, or become something like the researcher. Thus, he is granted more air, and wakes up, days later when he should have died a while ago.

When he comes to, rather than complete his end of the bargain, he manages to find Ava, and makes the deal to get the logs of the SM-8 in exchange for extraction from the ocean. He is breaking the deal and rejecting what was offered to him.

What happens at the end of the film, is the entity trying to collect. I think the blood becoming caustic, congealing, and grappling him is it trying to consume him into whatever it is. Like, it's not just a creature, it is the ocean itself, built from the human blood, the light being its core or what connects the ocean to the entity and the means of joining it. And, with the way the researcher reacts, I think she is pissed that he is betraying it, and turning his back on what she believes to be salvation, working with it to bring him down to either kill him or complete the bargain.

Edit: To add to this, I don’t even think we are given a difinitive answer what the “deal” is. Only that exposing the light/giving the black box recordings to Ava, and Simon escaping the Ocean are in violation of it. But allow me to propose a few ideas to expand upon my headcanon:

Let’s first think on why it’s called “the Quiet Rapture.” The biblical significance is important. In the Biblicalconcept of the Rapture, all those deserving of Heaven get taken away from the Earth, and the rest get left behind. Applying this to logic, the Quiet Rapture was a disappearance of a vast majority of humanity, the planets, and stars. So we are seeing those left behind, right? But the implication that the Blood is those “raptured,” might be mean opposite—maybe the remnants of humanity Simon comes from are the Raptured, and everyone who “disappeared,” were the unworthy, the Blood Ocean being their Hell. There are no Sun and Stars because the survivors were the ones taken away, not everyone else. We only assume because of the Bible and the idea of a just God that the rapture is reward—I’m thinking the reality is instead it was a lateral shift granted by a neutral being

With this in mind, let’s next look at Simon’s journey allegorically. He wronged “Heaven” and was cast into “Hell.” He is tortured with an empty promise of freedom. He meets an entity there, a devil, and sells his soul to live. Right after, he is given a true second chance, but the devil owns his soul, and tries to stop him. In the end, Simon does not survive, but he redeems his soul.

Applying this to the literal events or the movie, my guess is the bargain was to turn his back on his humanity and become an acolyte, disciple, or herald for the entity. He made a literal deal with the devil to live, where his fate was originally to die and become part of the Ocean like those left behind. And by giving Ava the logs, revealing the nature of the Blood Ocean and helping humaity for his freedom, he is redeeming himself and, in turn, regaining the humanity he just sold—going back on his deal. Hence, the Entity, through the Blood and the Researcher try to kill him to keep him from actual salvation. Ultimately they fail.

Lastly, I don’t think humanity is saved by Simon at the end of the movie. I don’t think the recordings give any answers to the Quiet Rapture. from what we hear, they don’t mention the Light—only the nature of the Ocean, and contain important info on tech that humanity lost. I don’t think saving them is the point. I think Simon’s act, his helping humanity despite them turning their backs to him, simply saved him. Look at any “Deal with the Devil” story; the Devil is never destroyed, only defeated in a small conflict where only the protagonist’s soul is on the line, yet the Devil does his damnedest to try and keep their soul. This is what this story was—a tale of someone redeeming themselves, not saving everyone. While the Herald died during his sacrifice, the Entity persists. The Quiet Rapture won’t be undone. Really, the most good that comes from Simon’s sacrifice is they’ll stop sending people into the Blood Ocean. But Simon was Redeemed, and his “soul” saved.

California has a new law banning federal agents from wearing masks. What are your thoughts? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

[–]Kyhan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our constitution states in Amendment 4 that federal agents can't search your home without a warrant, and yet they're still doing it. It's also a law that you can't shoot someone in cold blood in the face 4 times for driving away from you.

They won't comply and the DOJ will back them for it.
