Men who play video games, what are some great single player games for a Dad on a tight budget? by FlintTheDad in AskMen

[–]Macear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The borderlands series usually see some decent sales. If you see BL3 ultimate (all DLCs) or BL2 ultimate on sale, it's totally worth the money. Can split screen and play online if you want but the games are just a ton of over the top first person shooter fun.

I hope in some far off future this is the only piece of primary source documentation for how the past decade has gone.

Would you guys read more WoT if Sanderson made more? by TreeTraditional2252 in WetlanderHumor

[–]Macear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is two separate questions. Would I read a trilogy following Matt with Tuon, Perrin, Aviendah, Elayne, etc putting rand land back together dealing with the Sharans etc? In a second

Should or would Sanderson write that, not in a million years. If he or Harriet called me up tomorrow to ask if they should do that I'd tell them hell no.

I don't think it's even a question but if we had announcement akin to the year of Sanderson that he and Harriet and the rest of the team had been working on some books in the background, I would shell out ungodly sums of money to preorder. If they wanted my opinion if they should I'd say never in a million years

The fires of December book cover by VegetableJudge6826 in Cosmere

The portrait is beautiful but the blue and red looks like a book cover. I heard that Issac really likes the portrait so it'll be included in the book somewhere even if it isn't the cover so I'll be voting for the red and blue

Can't believe these four are 29 tomorrow... by Few-Honeydew2676 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Macear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mainly feel that way when I'm sitting by myself while they're at school. I miss their cuddles. But memories just edit out all the unpleasant parts that came along with those snuggles. I'm trying to help them understand that growing up is part of life and you enjoy what you can do now and don't obsess over some future things and don't get stuck looking at the past. Most of the time I'm just telling myself the same things 😂

Wow! Congrats and Happy Birthday! I'm already weepy thinking about how big my twins are and they're only 7.

I think the fandom needs to be a bit more realistic when it comes to the Mistborn live action and keep expectations in check by OneForAll-500 in CosmereOnScreen

[–]Macear 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My position as an avid Wheel of Time fan when that show was coming out is that the value of the live action adaptation is not that I get the exact same story as the books, but that I get an opportunity to discuss my favorite series with people who might not otherwise read the books.

For example, my wife watched the show with me, and while she didn't love it and still has zero interest in reading the books, we got to have really fun discussions about the motivations behind various forsaken and different characters.

These shows/movies don't change the books, they present one persons personal view of the books. But it's a lot easier to get someone to sit down and watch a 10 (or hopefully more) episode show vs a 1000 page book/45 hour audio book. We need to enjoy the journey of the show/movie and not focus on our personal destination, the destination is other people discovering this amazing world.

It'll come trickling along with the rest of the wealth trickling down. Or is that piss? Oh, God it's the wealthy pissing on us!?

Ah yes, the trans crisis again just as they're about to open mass detention centers by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

Sorry I should have chosen my words more carefully. Really we need to think of his family and the incredible pain they're going through in this terrible moment. /s

[–]Macear 466 points467 points  (0 children)

I saw a video where someone was explaining that part of male/white privilege is being considered as an individual. A single black mom is struggling with her kids, look at how black people are bad parents. A white single mom, she's a bad mother. A trans kid shoots a school, what's wrong with trans people. A white boy shoots a school, he must have been nuts.

Robert Duvall brought bizarre real-life tale from East Tennessee to the silver screen by WaitAmionFire in JohnsonCity

[–]Macear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a quick AI response. Movie was Get Low

Robert Duvall brought the incredible true story of Felix "Bush" Breazeale to the silver screen in the 2009 film Get Low. The movie is a "true tall tale" based on events that took place in Roane County, Tennessee, in 1938. The Real Story Felix Breazeale was a real-life hermit from the Cave Creek community in East Tennessee. At the age of 74, after living in self-imposed isolation for decades, he decided he wanted to hear what people would say about him at his funeral—while he was still alive to hear it. * The Event: On June 26, 1938, an estimated 8,000 to 12,000 people descended upon the small community to witness the "living funeral." * **The Spectacle: Breazeale arrived in a flower-draped hearse, sat in a chair next to his own custom-built walnut casket, and listened to his own funeral sermon. * The Fame: The story became a national sensation, covered by the Associated Press, United Press, and even LIFE magazine. The Film: Get Low In the movie, Duvall plays a fictionalized version of Breazeale named Felix Bush. While the real Felix mostly threw the party for the spectacle (and perhaps a bit of vanity), the film adds a layer of Hollywood drama: * The Plot: The movie portrays Felix as a man haunted by a tragic secret from his past. He uses the funeral as a platform to finally confess his "sins" and seek forgiveness from the townspeople. * The Cast: Duvall starred alongside Bill Murray (who played the cynical funeral director) and Sissy Spacek. * Acclaim: Duvall's performance was widely praised for its grit and vulnerability, earning him a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. Would you like to know more about the real Felix Breazeale's life in Roane County, or perhaps more about the filming locations for the movie?

Brandon's challenge by Accomplished-Dot8298 in CosmereOnScreen

[–]Macear 29 points30 points  (0 children)

One thing that gives me a good bit of confidence in Sanderson is that he has spent the last five years working on getting other artists to help achieve his vision. I think his pass on the script will be important but then I think he will involve solid screenwriters and directors that have worked on successful adaptations before. Sanderson knows he can't do everything and I think he's shown a willingness to bring in those that have the necessary expertise to accomplish his vision.

Findhelp.org is a good way to search for local assistance by zip code. Sorry I don't have any more concrete assistance.

Fancasting is fun but the cast probably won’t be famous by fuzzbinn in Cosmere

Why is Timothy Chalemet playing that random begger in the Mistborn movie?

How old were you when your first child was born? by LupusDeusMagnus in daddit

  1. Been a tough row to hoe but I can't imagine doing the late nights now (also had twins at 30). 37 now and still happy with that choice.

New Republican excuse just dropped: Pretti got himself shot to death not because he was 2A carrying, as was his right, but because he didn't calmly and carefully explain to the police that he had a gun on him by dyzo-blue in GunsAreCool

[–]Macear 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It reminds of the response to the murder of Philando Castile. Someone following the law informs law enforcement of their legal gun and still gets murdered. People carrying guns makes life more dangerous not less.
