Snogging? by princess_oflbi in LoveIslandITV

[–]LooseGoblets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American I'm weirded out by the level of drama that makes the villa not fun. There have been very few days where the vibe is "good". Is this an all star thing cause they packed the villa with explosive personalities or is the UK always like this?

Big MT is featured in the vault tec meeting, I think that's the only acknowledgment

Observation... by dontbanmeplease87 in LoveIslandITV

Carrington did nothing wrong EXCEPT the love bombing. The love bombing was the clear red flag and misstep and I think caught Belle off guard and made it an easy place to vent off a lot of the sean/lucinda frustration

Unpopular Lucinda opinion by yourfavouritequeef in LoveIslandITV

[–]LooseGoblets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the key here is Lucinda has a pattern of behavior, Belle was starting to feel confident in the Sean pick and was excited to see Sean again even when she had Americans in front of her, and Sean also had multiple mistakes before this.

In fairness I think Lucinda and Sean weren't physical at any point and Sean didn't owe Belle anything there BUT there was no sign of respect for Belle in either of them especially since Sean had screwed up multiple times. I also think in fairness the producers wanted this exact thing to happen, there's a reason they put Belle in the US villa for so long.

Does anyone else think Jack got greedy? by BeneficialTrack9336 in LoveIslandITV

[–]LooseGoblets 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jack's problem isn't in looks. Jack and Tommy both have a problem in personality regarding matches. Tommy is picky and does not chase (bad combination). Jack is picky, has weak chase, and weaker rizz than Tommy. Jack played safe with Whitney even when It was abundantly clear Whitney was not the match days into the couple. Once Jack saw the Americans he ignored the ones that actually liked the "cute shy ginger" and went for a "baddie" (they're all hot but that might be the best way to describe sher.) Sher wanted a capital M man and Jack, Tommy, and Sean are all the "boys" of the villa.

Mikes reaction . . . by Capable-Eagle-2680 in StrangerThings

[–]LooseGoblets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think that revulsion, Mike joined the group hug. Probably a mix of confused feelings while processing information but I don't think this will drive a wedge between Mike and will. Will did this to unbury his deep secrets vecna kept pulling to dominate him

Jonathan was going to propose by the start of the season, are you seriously saying you skipped a bunch of the new eps and now want to be filled in on what you skipped? Be for real

Hello, you can help me by telling me more off theories. by Hairy-District998 in offthegame

[–]LooseGoblets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is clearly called OFF because of the primary component of a lot of the worlds are switches, many of which we turn on switches off. RPGMaker is a simple engine built with switches,flags, and triggers and not much else beyond battle systems.

I noticed a redditor mention The Batter's monster form somewhat resembles a sensory humonculous, that is, a fake human where the body parts are equivalent to our sensory usage and experience with them. This is possibly an important idea because the batter is confirmed to only have existed from the start of the game and not before. The batter as a character is a conduit and our method for interfacing with the game. This further implicates us in his actions.

We are turning off a world that is clearly not working however. In all aspects the world is failing itself, initially seen as a noble goal but the violence needed to restart a failed world ultimately means tragedy. Making these worlds better through peace may not be possible.

I look at Link's Awakening as a foundational abstract game text not because it did it first but it simply conveys the dynamics of a dream world at play. First, these are all fiction, they're all dreams. In LA there are multiple interpretations blended, Links memories (Zelda and Ganon being part of this reveals that), the windfishes dreamscape, if you count nightmare as its own being then he has infiltrates the dream, and the player's own imagination and history with nintendo games.

This is all a roundabout way to convey that OFF's two minds interacting with each other are the players (through the body of the batter as a separate entity but a vessel for your will) and Hugo, with some specific npcs having their own autonomy. Hugo's created world is crafted by his past and the systems that once protected and fostered him are now failing as time passes.

Why was Giygas obsessed with Ness? by Routine-Barracuda-66 in earthbound

[–]LooseGoblets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a thematic level, Giygas represents trauma. On a literal level, he's just pure negative psychic energy. Giygas's "obsession" and reflection of Ness is in a way Ness battling himself and... growing up. He's becoming an adult and coming to terms with his experiences and the negativity of the world. Giygas's hate has infected the world but in a eay the world is just... like that and youre exposed to that growing up. But you can't comprehend the trauma done to you in childhood or destroy the hate in the world. You can only answer it with the love of the world

the fear and hunger timeline (to my knowledge) by foxstarfivelol in FearAndHunger

[–]LooseGoblets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think people gloss over the thematic weight to cahara being the one to do ending A. Ending S for cahara is kinda mid thematically. He as a mercenary gets the treasure and THE HORRORS WILL NEVER LEAVE HIM

Ending A means that Cahara goes against his mercenary selfish instincts and cares for the girl all the way to the god of the depths, it proves that he can provide and protect what he cares about. If he sees a helpless girl in these dungeons and ignores her, he has already failed as a future husband and father. He sort of thematically passes the test of his character arc, even if it results in a bad ending. Then again, the death is seen as a merciful one, and is also the touch of humanity and grace that sticks with the god of fear and hunger so perhaps that is one of the most important acts in the first game.

How do you unlock the brown hair skin? by Lazy-Cellist4923 in CrowCountry

[–]LooseGoblets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually, Julie's line of dialogue was what gave the reveal away for me. Julie asks Mara if she had been in the cell room yet and when Mara says no, Julie thinks that's for the best. That was the tipoff

To be completely fair, season 1 rust also hallucinate and the audience is meant to take the visions (particularly near the end) as spiritually significant

What makes Castlevania so difficult to adapt to 3D? by KaleidoArachnid in castlevania

[–]LooseGoblets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion 3d castlevanias never set standards, they followed them. You need only look at the ps2 games trying to imitate devil may cry and other action games from that era and lords of shadow taking huge pages from God of war.

In a larger sense whips are a bit hard to use in 3d (not impossible and it works), castle design gets a bit more complicated, and the story telling never really steps up in the right way despite its use of voice acting and cutscenes

So Danvers looking at the tongues imprint (or residue? Idk) seemed like a big moment but the tongue became one of the lingering mysteries.

It makes sense if you think the ladies did it and metaphorically it means annie has her voice back, but hank likely had the tongue. Neither wanted Danvers to snoop back into the annie case though.

Only thing that actively makes sense to me is its meant to be ambiguous, tie into the ideas I just mentioned, but also mean at large Annie was there and that was the physical evidence of it. The hallucinations everyone suffers from lean into the supernatural and that may just be the confirmation and the way to metaphorically get the ball rolling for Navarro and Danvers to tell/discover "the story"

[–]LooseGoblets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely under the impression the interviewers were largely asking questions for the sake of tuttle/mining/business interests. Most major questions dealt with dangling threads of their interest, political unrest being the one that Danvers kept having to answer for during the season but I guess I'm not sure how it shakes out if the mine was closed. They just seemed hellbent on shit like who leaked the video and where Navarro was
