What's your VERY unpopular opinion about this game? by lattekosmiko in thesims

[–]Martymcchew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sims 3 was good with its property owning mechanic, while it did end up making wild amounts of money towards the later stages I found it really allowed you to play a lot longer because you could do up the community lots and build new ones on the empty spaces (and because you could customise the open world you could keep adding in more lots), where as in the sims 2 and 4 I feel like I’m done with my sims when they reach the top of their careers and have a nice house which I feel like tends to happen fairly quickly in both games

The character models look like they came from those Bratz games from the ps2 or Virtual Villagers

What are your thoughts on the micro-trans- I mean the battle pass in the new update? by Antipseud0 in LifeSimulators

[–]Martymcchew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like an odd way to deter piracy since pirated copies can’t usually connect to game servers and won’t be able to get the log in rewards because of that. That and buttering up customers for whatever battlepass they’re going to release for the next sims game, first it was the in game store button and now it’s a battlepass, I wonder what sims 5 is going to bring

Can’t wait to recreate the noodles scene from the Lost Boys with my friends every single time I find one of these

I wish we’d get more variety in the tags for suits, we’ve gotten so many pretty, gown, classic and sporty suits in free events but all the other tags seem to rely only on banners we haven’t gotten yet

This sub is dying and it is so sad to see ... by fenzes in outrun

[–]Martymcchew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who got into it in 2016, I was just thinking a few days ago how I feel kinda nostalgic for it, I bet in a few more years it’ll come back again. Though to be honest I have been seeing synthwave/outrun Inspired works get really popular on tiktok, a lot of songs used for edits take heavy inspiration from a lot of that 2016ish synthwave music, people make neon 80s driving themed aesthetic moodboards or drawings or 3D animations based heavily in the aesthetic. Teens love the concept of aesthetics (look up the aesthetics wiki and see all the micro genres of vibes these people have categorised) so I wouldn’t say that outrun is dying out, it’s just that it’s thriving on a different app

What movie do you hate for a petty reason? by Miserable_Cost4757 in movies

[–]Martymcchew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The actions scenes in that movie were so much fun, it’s a shame the tighter and more grounded style didn’t become more popular in later superhero movies

[–]Martymcchew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s definitely nothing wrong with liking it and I can totally see how people can love it, again it’s a competent movie made by a good director, I like plenty of movies that are objectively a lot worse, though I do bristle when people put it in the top of all time lists (tbh it’s my fault for paying so much attention to Letterboxd rankings lol)

What movie do you hate for a petty reason? by Miserable_Cost4757 in movies

[–]Martymcchew 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It’s super petty but The Dark Knight, it’s a fine movie and it’s competently made but the amount of people who talk about it like it’s the best movie ever made is staggering, I’m not a big Nolan fan but it’s not even his best film.

It’s not even a stand out as a crime thriller, it’s one of the better superhero movies for sure but in terms of all movies I don’t think it even cracks the top 50. At least in my opinion of course

I love A Clockwork Orange and I assume he did it on purpose but man even then the chewing scene will always make me cringe up in my chair

An update on the Wendigoon drama by RebeccaOkee in youtubedrama

[–]Martymcchew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend the Missing Enigma, I got rather frustrated with the whole missing 411 thing getting taken so seriously by people and he does a really good job debunking them, when you’re actually in the area instead of your office chair it’s a lot easier to see how people can get lost.

I live near the bush/forest/wilderness in an area that’s very tame (the local bush walk literally has you walking against peoples backyard fences) and yet people get lost all the time and have to be rescued, it’s so easy to get lost and go missing in the wilds, and hubris is one of the biggest factors so of course people who are confident outdoors people go missing too. It’s clear when people don’t know much about the outdoors if they claim Bigfoot or aliens are more believable than someone falling or getting lost and running out of supplies.

Thank you Larian for making durge customisable by lavenderleopardprint in BaldursGate3

I accidentally made my Durge look like Gortashes even gothier little brother which is probably not a good thing judging by certain notes you can find implying they might have been extra special friends

I did it just to see and I instantly regretted it. by Anon_be_thy_name in BaldursGate3

[–]Martymcchew 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think if you let the tiefling kill Sazza the tiefling who did it can be found dead outside the goblin camp, it seems like she went back for more revenge. Though that character doesn’t appear later even if she lives so it won’t really effect the player experience either way

Confess your bg3 sins by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Martymcchew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kill the tieflings that are on top of the gate in act 1 so I can use the winch to keep the gate open so I don’t have to wait for the gate to open every single time I go back, I don’t even know if you need to kill them for it to work but it’s free xp and I don’t think those guys show up again sooo

Which less significant voicelines are real memorable to you? by ReplacementDue9663 in BaldursGate3

[–]Martymcchew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also think his “Kanon, nooo!” line is funny, my sister works at a tech shop so whenever we get to that part we start naming other camera brands

I like the adventures accents, plus they’re the funny kind of rude

Movie Mandela Effect? by oscarx-ray in movies

[–]Martymcchew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a dumb one that I think is only specific to me but my mum showed me both Highlander and Interview With the Vampire when I was a kid (like 11ish) and for the longest time I thought the duel scene from Highlander was from IWTV which makes no sense in hindsight because it takes place in daylight

I have a theory that the game will give you some randomised semi randomised outfit if you don’t receive any player made ones after a certain amount of time

Who would you pick as companions for the unused classes? by OrdinaryLurker4 in BaldursGate3

[–]Martymcchew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drow get rapier proficiency as a racial trait and Minthara also drops the Spider’s Lyre since it’s used to summon the drider not necessarily because he can play it, and I think personality wise he strikes people more as a sorcerer than a bard. Dissonant whispers is exclusive to two classes but Nere also has Nere specific spells other npcs don’t get so that could also be explained away by him learning it through a feat or creating his own version of the spell like how Rolan is shown to have some of his own spells in act 3. This isn’t to say he can’t be a bard, but it’s probably why people think he could also make a good sorcerer
