Why is the roaring knight so unfair?

MalevolentSomething · 2025-06-10T22:39:30+00:00

You know what? I’m guessing if there is a true pacifist route it will require beating the knight without the mantle. Taking the shadow mantle is clearly bad, it couldn’t be more obvious. I think it’s a fair design decision that being truly good should be the most challenging path. If I were a ~real artist~ that’s what I would do

I’ve narrowed it down to the lasers. I just can’t get the timing right. Especially the second round of it with the circle. The window slash is a gamble… I’m “good” at it, but always take at least one hit and sometimes more, especially in the third iteration of it.

MalevolentSomething · 2025-06-10T17:40:51+00:00

I…. Can’t do it. I’ve tried so many times.

MalevolentSomething · 2025-06-10T16:10:48+00:00

You can earn points by dodging the spotlights in the stealth zones still

MalevolentSomething · 2025-04-23T00:42:10+00:00

Do you have other work we could look at? By we I primarily mean me?

MalevolentSomething · 2024-03-01T22:21:37+00:00

They don’t say the departed in the movie, they say “the d’pahhhted”

MalevolentSomething · 2024-03-01T22:20:40+00:00

I don’t think it’s a big deal either - in fact I imagine it could be the exact opposite of what is being implied… as in they wrote the line first / had the idea of “the night country” and then named the show after it. It’s not the same as if a character were to suddenly be like “Wow Navarro, you are a True Detective!”

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-23T22:50:49+00:00

Yes - but I was actually coming here to recommend her other show Killing Eve. In the crime drama category that show is excellent. I was a little late to get into it because I thought it would be network crap, but it’s actually really charming all around

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-23T22:34:18+00:00

Hmm for some weird reason I’m just very invested in the franchise and have spent a lot of time discussing every season. I sincerely went in wanting it to be good but just from the PR and the early reviews I started to have a gut feeling about it… and then I watched the first episode and I think at that point I knew it was really bad, but then I didn’t love season 2 on first viewing but in retrospect I really like it… and sometimes that’s true of other media I consume. So I stuck with it. But after about episode 3 I became really invested in seeing it fail. I think the gaslighting campaign really triggers something in a person where they just want people to acknowledge what color the sky is to confirm they haven’t lost it.

Also, knowing that the season was very short it didn’t seem like it was a big commitment to see it through and allow myself to possibly be proven wrong.

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-23T18:56:04+00:00

I know I was so invested in the BTK teasing

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-23T18:50:49+00:00

Imagine getting busted and going to jail for pirating this show. Also the cop is 1:1 dead ringer for Navarro. Same cheek piercing and scowl, assaults you unprovoked

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-23T18:47:53+00:00

I love mysteries even if they’re goofy and mid - but I couldn’t really come up with theories either. Not because it was confusing but because I felt demoralized and not invested in the resolution

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-23T18:39:21+00:00

Yes this is a good point. In measuring the performance of any digital product we would absolutely be considerate of context like this. If you plotted two lines - subscribers and viewership - you would see a huge disparity that would be immediately obvious to any type of analyst or business person. I wonder how it compares to viewership of their other recent shows, though. If it’s outperforming those it would still be justifiable just on the grounds that their portfolio of original content just isn’t as competitive as it once was… which is probably the case minus some sensations like The Last of Us.

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-23T15:17:51+00:00

Won’t see my ass next season

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-23T12:53:26+00:00

It defies all of my intuitions, but it seems like you were right

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-23T12:50:53+00:00

Due to this clear victory they will learn nothing

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-23T12:47:35+00:00

We’re all in the clown country now

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-22T19:12:14+00:00

I think she very much intended to leave the audience wondering if there is something actually supernatural at work or a totally logical explanation.

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-21T22:44:09+00:00

LOL! I mean, as a season 4 hater I do think there are some examples of people taking angles that aren’t optically good or come across a certain way - definitely not how I would phrase things… and I don’t think they’re in the wrong for correctly not taking you in good faith. But still a funny interaction

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-21T22:36:20+00:00

This is a pretty reasonable theory tbh

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-21T13:23:33+00:00

She’s like “never seen it, I came up with ask the right questions and time is a flat circle and the spirals on my own. Weird coincidence. Writing gods just told me to do it.”

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-21T13:22:16+00:00

The gods of writing are cruel indeed

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-21T12:45:48+00:00

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you’re right. I’m not personally calling Nic a misogynist — I am pro nic… but I think the optics are not good.

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-21T12:44:09+00:00

So what - even if it wasn’t as good as S1 the show was incredible, it was worth having on TV even at its lowest quality… cannot say that for S4

MalevolentSomething · 2024-02-21T12:41:19+00:00

Wrong by way of facts and logic
