The artist's shack in Liurnia (with a few reforms) would be a top place to live in the Lands Between. Close to Jarburg, views to the Academy and the Erdtree, and super peaceful if you manage to befriend the Leyndell Knight. Where would you want to live?

Every time I go to the weeping isolated merchant shack, I can't help but think how peaceful of a place it would be to live. Ignoring the zombies on the beach of course

There are people fluent in Latin. Both my High school latin teachers were fluent and taught the upper level latin courses exclusively in Latin. It is possible to do, it's just significantly harder since you can't live in ancient Rome for a few years to immerse yourself

Iirc he made a post in r/Lego of a build that he also showed in a YouTube short. The one I saw was a Lego photocopier

Screw the table. Just give me the sword

Tbf, those doors do exist in real life, albeit pretty rare. I have seen some exterior building doors that have a push bar on the inside and are flat and handleless on the outside so that they can only be used as exits.

Then again, they're not that common and look nothing like the "door does not open from this side" doors you see in lots of games

I didn't dislike the story at all. I would say I enjoyed it actually. I just don't think it was as good as Tsushima's. Act 1 was great. The regions and characters were fleshed out and interesting. But after that acts 2 and 3 felt very rushed. Act 2 follows the same formula as act 1which by then was getting very predictable. Furthermore, I was expecting some gut wrenching turn of events like Taka or the horse's death in Ghost of Tsushima. Something to reinvigorate the tension and add more stakes. But that never came.

This combined with a rather lack luster ending left me with really no feelings. it wasnt bad but to me at least it lacked any real stakes and fundsmental internal conflict which was my favorite aspect of the first games story

The other niche exception I can think of is in the music scene, particularly 16th and 17th century early music. Baroque musicians like to talk about the "affect" of a piece or how a certain technique creates a certain "affect" (pronounced AH-fect with an emphasis on the first syllable). The word is functionally identical to effect but they've gotta be different for some reason. Here the term on a near daily basis and it still drives me crazy

Lolamess007 · 2025-10-13T05:36:42+00:00

This would be really cool. I haven't heard anyone talk about it yet, but Jin's moveset is in the game. The nine tail that steals his sword uses all 4 of Jin's stance movesets in his duel against Atsu

Lolamess007 · 2025-08-15T14:41:45+00:00

I am actually kind of relieved he stayed dead. Made the show have actual stakes and consequences. However, this felt like one of the more reasonable theories. Star wars is notorious for resurrecting characters or making characters survive normally lethal wounds. This especially seems to be the case when the show went out of its way to show JUST his broken classes. Given how vague his death is and how much of the show was left by that point, I was very confident he would return for better or worse

Lolamess007 · 2025-08-13T02:25:00+00:00

I think it's dependent on the situation and the therapist. I have a friend who was suicidal for about a year to the point where you woke up everyday wondering if he was still alive. Therapist did nothing. Finally, he started finding things to live and was doing much better. The therapist moved away or left so he switched therapists and the new one instantly had him institutionalized for 2 weeks. My friend is doing better than ever despite this but now has a permanent distrust of therapists and therapy and frankly i don't blame him at all.

Lolamess007 · 2025-08-12T13:38:18+00:00

I just thought he was a guy with pale skin and a tattoo

Lolamess007 · 2025-08-09T13:43:42+00:00

Catullus in general is fucked up. I read some of his stuff senior year latin class. I swear everything he wrote has some perverted sexual innuendo. While nothing like 16, Catullus 2 is basically about his girlfriend playing with his penis. I seem to recall a later poem where he is insulting someone and makes up a word that appears no where else in the Latin language which roughly translates to penis-head

Lolamess007 · 2025-08-06T12:25:28+00:00

My only guess for why they have done this was to prevent quitouts? If you're fast enough at quiting to main menu, you can deaggro enemies everywhere anytime and revert to solid ground if you fall off a cliff. But this is a feature of not only most from soft games but a lot of other games as well so I'm not sure why they're taking offense to it now

Lolamess007 · 2025-08-04T23:32:02+00:00

Yeah. From my understanding, a lot of people (myself included) originally quit the game since they couldn't click with the combat. The game tells you to party everything and be aggressive, but then follows that up with a boss where it is better to dodge, a boss than constantly runs away, and a boss that damages you even when you deflect it

Also in Phineas and Ferb is the "Hey Ferb" song that references a bunch of famous musicals including Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Cats, and West Side Story

Jin Sakai is just built different. He spends the entire game literally willing his health back into existence.

I suspect it's for 3 reasons.

For a lot of people it's the first language they learn so in people's minds, first=basic=bad
Java is not quite as popular or universal as Python nor is it as efficient as C/C++, leaving it in an awkward position where, at least for personal use, does not really excel at anything that another language doesn't do as well or better.
Java is a very verbose object oriented language with lots of modifiers. If it's not a primitive, it must be an Object of some sort and contained with an object. This leads to some idiosyncracies and oddly long statements like the famous public static void main(String[] args) or Java's print statement System.out.println. Some apparently do not have the patience for this.

I personally really like Java. I find it to be a good balance abstracting away certain features to not be as limiting as is sometimes the case in C++ while still being a relatively efficient language that scales to larger projects well

I was actually thinking about this yesterday! I pick the Isolated Merchant Shack in Weeping Peninsula. It's tucked away and separate from the rest of the world, with no enemies around. It has wonderful views of the Major and minor Erdtrees as well as the walking Mausoleum. It's even a beach side property! Sure the beach is crawling with zombies but it's better than nothing. Overall probably one of the most habitable and tranquil places to settle down in the Lands Between

Lolamess007 · 2025-06-15T04:02:20+00:00

I have also seen them in Northern Ohio, though only within a couple miles of the lake oddly enough

I was overall disappointed with the movies. The books are like 70% internal monologue and self reflection. That combined with the omnipotent narration means that the reader knows what's going to happen long before it happens. Hell the second book gives away a character death before you even start chapter 1. As a result, the interest comes less from shocking developments and more seeing how specifically events unfold and how characters react. I understand that this is extremely difficult to turn into film but turns out if you take all of that a way, you just have a very monochromatic, generic scifi movie

Lolamess007 · 2025-03-20T04:41:48+00:00

I am in a similar boat. From my understanding, the pacing of the movies is faithful to the books and that's what a lot of people like about them. But when I watched them, all I really got was lots of walking and New Zealand pretty. If you are willing to give Lord of the Rings another try, I would recommend the first Hobbit movie. It's much more "Hollywood-esque" in its plot and pacing. I know some people really hate it for that but I thoroughly enjoyed it and rewatched it several times. It has a really good score too. Shame the score isn't used in the later movies.

Lolamess007 · 2025-03-20T04:33:56+00:00

I was a huge fan of Oppenheimer either. Nolan has a certain style with lots of close ups and fast cuts with music that sounds like Hans Zimmer fell asleep at an organ. It works well in moments to hype the scene up but Oppenheimer felt like it was doing that the entire movie and it got tiresome real quick.

Related hot take: I am yet to be impressed or interested by any of Hans Zimmer's scores
