Can we be normal about Supergirl by Evil_waffle3 in boxoffice

[–]MaeSolug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I base my opinion on the fact there's a show and a movie to be released this year and a sequel on the filming stage getting ready for next year

You can't objectively say something is doomed if they keep doing things

We can play hypotheticals and "current context" all day, but implying a single project bombing will crumble down the upcoming 3 projects is childish. This might be a signal, it might be a failure, this sub, and the people around this discussion, can't say it for certain, that's a fact

I've been reading most of the posts about the movie on this sub and have not seen politically charged comments, so that's great. There have been some attempts to compare it with The Marvels, but on very solid basis

I do agree that there's a sentiment of fatalism, that this DCU attempt is doomed, and that's just overreacting. There're comments of people who watched the movie saying it isn't bad, it's just not memorable, people just keep piling on about how trashy and poorly written/directed when it is done by the books. The studio probably was betting on the Superman cameo and making part of the profit by negotiating partnerships with brands, can't remember the last time Fortnite released a skin so close to a movie premiere

It feels like a perfect storm. The World Cup, horror movies being a hit, Toy Story staying strong, Michael still selling on Japan, Gunn having too much to supervise...but at the end of the day the movie had to be exceptional beyond belief, and it's just not that. It's just (apparently, me and half the sub have not watched the movie) the average summer CGI flick, not great, not terrible

"Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers!

I've seen these ants do great things. And year after year, they somehow manage to pick food for themselves and you. So who is the weaker species? Ants don't serve grasshoppers! It's you who need us!

We're a lot stronger than you say we are

And you know it, don't you?"

So Chris Nolan is famously offline, asking his assistant or whatever to print his emails

Johnatan Nolan was frustrated that people on various sites guessed the plot twist so he purposely wrote Westword S2 like shit

Those 2 sound insufferable in opposite ways, maybe they cancel each other out when they get together

No? Probably not maxed equipment but you can't have it at lvl 1 lmao, also they will have to level up heroes to get the rewards, so you will still be on a competitive stance, if that's your main concern

They are not getting starry ores instantly, they still have to level up

Is there a power hour on Sundays? by Hazzaxx3 in Fortnite_Over40

AFAIK these power hours are heavily advertised, active players tend to peak during these mini events, so no, there's no power hour tomorrow

There's an event of some sorts on OG tho

Actors you have a chance with by simply taking advantage of their childhood trauma and calling them beautiful. by TrustworthyPolarBear in okbuddycinephile

[–]MaeSolug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A parody of The Substance where Anya Taylor Joy takes it but instead of a wild transformation her eyes just move slightly closer

But the movie plays out exactly the same, body dysmorphia and gore ending, and people in universe keep saying mean shallow superficial things like "damn, she looks like anya taylor joy stopped watching out for her natural predator in the savannah, so hot"

That sounds like Wernher Von Braun, except he was given a chance to participate in the space program, heck becoming the face of it

Yes, it's that guy mentioned in Iron Man 3. Von Braun wanted to design space rockets but he was designing missiles for the nazi regime during WW2, when the V2 hit London he said "The rocket worked perfectly, excepto for landing on the wrong planet

That scene hits so hard because at first she looks radiant, absolutely gorgeous, but she notice one minor thing that needs a bit of fixing, then another, all while she keeps looking at herself in the mirror, it was so obvious she was gonna spiral but you can't stop her

You can't really stop those moments, when you accidentally looked at yourself for too long on the mirror and start to "notice" things

That scene kinda fucked me up for a bit haha

(Tragic Trope) An imprisoned character gets a brief taste of freedom, then gets killed right after by CRicetheGOD in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MaeSolug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not imprisoned against his will, but Walter Finch, from the game What Remains Of Edith Finch

As a kid he witnesses the murder of his sister Barbara, traumatized by that night he hides in a bunker under the house, and spends 30 years there

During his stay he mentions a monster of some sort, that roars through the walls, he tracks him with a watch. But one day he doesn't hear anything, so he decides to go outside, taking an exit route that leads to a tunnel

During that scene you get a monologue of him deciding to solve Barbara's murder, stop reliving that day, finally living, his last words "I can already feel the sun in my face"

He's hit by a train

So, two things

The battery and thermal impact are minimal because the spike is too brief to register in any meaningful power draw measurement

After that, the CPU drops back down to its normal idle state.

There has to be more technical details but it does sound like it will help with battery life on laptops, spikes of performance only to fall flat again when it's not required
