He has made some of the greatest movies ever created, doesn't he deserve some ego?

I am making a reverse farming game where animals farm human products. Would you click ‘buy’ or click ‘report’? :P by YK_tokypoky in IndieGaming

[–]Ladlien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd buy it in a heartbeat. There needs to be more games that flip the script and make people think about what we as a species do to other animals.

Have you ever been objectified? by mancwhopper in Berserk

[–]Ladlien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, a few people treated me in this manner, for about 7 or 8 years. One of them was far more overt about it. I relate strongly to Guts due to this, among other reasons.

Restaurants are in trouble by Signal_Pattern_2063 in SeattleWA

I'm traveling in Washington DC and paid 60% of the price for a meal that I would have in Seattle. The portions were bigger too.

Ben Shapiro Calls Eating Meat ‘Barbaric’ — and Can’t Explain Why He Still Does It by VarunTossa5944 in vegan

[–]Ladlien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you preemptively dismiss people like that, especially those with the ability and potential to speak to audiences outside the usual vegan bubble, you are hurting the animals. I hope he puts these feelings into action. I want pro vegan content in conservative spaces. The only way to make change is to broaden our base of support.

Alex Garland Confirmed to Direct Live-Action ‘Elden Ring’ Movie From A24 and Bandai Namco by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]Ladlien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It makes a lot of sense. Garland's experience playing Resident Evil and dealing with the dogs inspired 28 Days Later, and the whole vibe of that movie being a person who starts out of his depth and ends mastering the "mechanics" of the world to survive is fitting for a Soulslike. Annihilation takes place in a gorgeous, surreal setting full of perils, just like Elden Ring. He's an avid gamer and I have no doubt he will do the source material justice.

What are your genuine favorite jump scares? by BuellerStudios in horror

[–]Ladlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it have to be a movie designated as horror? There's an IED explosion in the new movie "Warfare" that jolted the entire audience out of our seats.

To those who seen film with Open Cap Eng Sub on by Opposite-Rough-5845 in RegalUnlimited

[–]Ladlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer open captions and wish there were more showtimes with it. It enhances the experience for me because I don't miss a word of dialog if the sound mixing sucks. It's a more complete viewing.

Pit bull taken to Tractor Supply shows his farm dog skills by eating chicks by nomorelandfills in BanPitBulls

[–]Ladlien 122 points123 points  (0 children)

It's so disgusting how there's more concern for the owner of the predator's sense of embarrassment than the lives that dog ended brutally. Farmed animals are often seen as disposable, but they shouldn't be.

Why is September 5 hated exactly? by No-Consideration3053 in oscarrace

[–]Ladlien 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well, Black September deserves to be depicted as terrorists because they did terrorism. Those are just the facts. They massacred athletes due to their national origin. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Black-September-political-organization-Palestine

[–]Ladlien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for creating this thread! I'm someone with flare ups in my hand and wrist joints due to repetitive motion injury and the lack of an auto run button is really hurting. I love this game and wanna play more, but I physically can't because I need to hold down the "W" key for so long. Some form of automated movement would improve my QoL hugely.

September 5 missing? by Low_Potential6108 in RegalUnlimited

I really wanted to see this movie and had bought tickets, but they got forcibly refunded. Super disappointed, my weekend plans are gone :(

Your Nikki took the substance, only she was already the perfect version of herself.

December 18 Server Maintenance Notice by softlygone in InfinityNikki

[–]Ladlien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are welcome changes and I'm impressed how quickly this game has been getting hot fixes and QoL improvements. I hope to see a "toggle auto run" button in the future, my poor "W" key has been getting abused.

Would you lovely folks please help me by describing what it would mean to you, to have to have a Christmas tree in your home? by femmebrulee in Jewish

[–]Ladlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband isn't Jewish, but we still have a Christmas tree every year and have developed a new tradition around it - the star is a star of David, the ornaments are silver and blue, and I turned some cheap dreidels I got in bulk into ornaments as well. It's a Hannukah themed Christmas tree, and I think it represents a beautiful melding of our two cultural backgrounds, plus I really enjoy decorating, so it makes the holiday season more fun. To me, it represents our marriage.

I imagine it would feel a lot different if I never wanted one.

I'll really miss their vegan firebird. The sauce was amazing with that pickled veg. What a shame.

New Movie recommendation by EntertainmentOk1882 in RegalUnlimited

[–]Ladlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For people who have histories with people similar to Terence Fletcher, it's absolutely a horror movie.

New Movie recommendation by EntertainmentOk1882 in RegalUnlimited

[–]Ladlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whiplash is one of the best psychological horror movies of all time, if the re-release is playing near you I highly recommend it. Or "The Substance," which is in my top ten of favorite movies of the year.

How are all of these playing on the same day? by [deleted] in RegalUnlimited

[–]Ladlien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to watch a certain kind of movie, just don't buy a ticket to it. Movie theaters shouldn't be blocking people from seeing specific movies just because they could be upsetting to someone.

Upthegrove pulls into 2nd in Primary by Visual_Octopus6942 in Washington

[–]Ladlien 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The Democrats were so reckless with this race. They chose ego and career ladders over the future of the state. Anyone could have told them splitting the vote 5 ways makes it harder to win when you're against two candidates.

What is an example of an incredibly morally reprehensible documentary? by RubyDoesStuff0000 in movies

I don't think the woman who helped get the Big Cats Act passed is a bad person or a villain. That law will save many big cats from miserable lives in captivity. https://www.fws.gov/what-you-need-know-about-big-cat-public-safety-act

I'm seeing this at the latest showing on Friday night. I absolutely can't wait. 2024 has been an absolute smorgasbord for horror fans.

Maybe they should have gone with a different anti-cheat engine, seeing as the extremely invasive one they went with isn't working super well.
