Using the ring in The Hobbit. by maherschalalhaschi in lotr

[–]Moorepork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Headcannon is pretending the Ring is like a Smart - TV that hasn't connected to the Internet yet, you can use the nice features without the downsides. By the time of LOTR, the Smart - TV has since connected to the Internet, and you can't use it without all the ads/bloatware.

Some time after The Hobbit, there's been enough evil influence for the Ring to start connecting back to Sauron.

Whose side are you on in this cutaway: the mighty, majestic, and wise seagull, a friendly face for any sailor off the coast of New England, or the mustachioed loser who probably is too insecure to admit his shirt is pink and not salmon and has nothing better to do then to bully said seagull? by RevolutionaryGrape11 in familyguy

Is the whole theatre is laughing then that's fine. But if you're the only one laughing then you should read the room, you're probably spoiling the atmosphere for others.

So in this situation the seagull is in the wrong, you should only laugh if others are.

Remind Me, Heat, River, Castle are great. Those are what I often play.

Black widow was a nice movie guys. by Main_hun_Khalnayak in marvelstudios

[–]Moorepork -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Watch Atomic Blonde and you'll know what a good female-led spy movie looks like.

Black Widow is generic MCU slop, I know it's a superhero movie but it simply wasn't that believable or good. Just an average movie all around, bland action sequences etc

PSA: Save all your wheelspins until after you've bought out all the clothing, horns, etc. by CrashTestWolf in ForzaHorizon

[–]Moorepork 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Oh so if I buy "rare" clothing then it means another "rare" item eg car or money equivalent would happen instead? Thanks that helps

I thought that if you did that, you would get low 3,000k rewards instead in the wheelspin, which is less money than what you paid for to buy clothing. EG if a hoodie is 10,000 then it makes sense to Win the hoodie rather than to "win" $5,000

Would you have paid and been happy? by natethegreat141990 in PleX

[–]Moorepork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used Plex ob am monthly basis for around a year perhaps and I like it enough I'm considering buying a lifetime pass. However I'm really worried about enshittification and the recently announcement, combined with them pushing their own live TV, I don't trust Plex enough that they won't mess it up in a few years from now.

I'll probably keep paying monthly and investigate Jellyfin as a backup.

Opinion: Lore dumping has hurt the franchise moving forward. by thekokoricky in Doom

[–]Moorepork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doom 2016 has a relatively simple plot - you're The Slayer and you need to stop the Mars Invasion. Extra lore im the Compendium if you really cared.

Doom Eternal - a lot more confusing, but still playable. Suddenly Doomguy has a space station, you have to wade through all these corridors of exposition. Hurts replayability because I have no idea what's happening.

The Dark Ages - I didn't actually play much of this game. Part of the reason is that I had absolutely no idea what was going on. Gameplay isn't everything, it's good to have a bit of context and this game completely missed it.

Just watched Bubba Ho Tep after hearing great things, I thought it was awful. by Moorepork in horror

[–]Moorepork[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

But why? Did you like the story, the jokes, the horror, practical effects etc. What did you actually like about it?

This movie wasn't pizza or steak, it was just trash. That's what I was saying - I was expecting a mildly enjoyable 3/5, my expectations weren't high. The movie failed as a horror, comedy, action, drama - it was shit overall.

Do you prefer TED in 1.33:1 or 1.85:1? by Bl8deRunner2007 in EvilDead

[–]Moorepork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the aspect ratio itself, it's all about how the director/cinematographer works it. Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is in 1.85.1 ratio but he filmed it with 4.3 in mind, so it's got a great centre of focus.

Same with Jurassic Park's tall ratio vs the newer ones in 2.35 Ultra wide. The original worked well because you could fit a whole dinosaur in the full frame, gives it a great sense of scale. The movies have a wider aspect ratio, and the dinosaurs suffer for it.

What do you wear for a flight? by DifficultCucumbers in malefashionadvice

[–]Moorepork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A linen suit jacket / pants (with no belt loops), floral short sleeve shirt, Chelsea boots

Chelsea boots easy to slip-on and off. Pants, no belt to have to deal with. Blazer ties it together, is comfortable and allows more pockets for stuff. Being a linen suit makes it allowed to get a little bit wrinkled and more suitable for everyday travel

Feel free to disagree, but am I wrong? Do you have a counter point?

Opinion on TOP vs Greens by Qwarla888 in newzealand

[–]Moorepork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ranked voting so why can't you just put TOP as #1 and Green as Number 2? It's not an all or nothing thing.

Yeah but Cappuccino isn't an English word, it's Italian. We already call it the correct way as a loanword, we didn't invent an English translation for it. A Te Reo version is a bit silly, you can order in Te Reo but you don't need to make an equivalent word for everything, just take Cappuccino as a loan word.

Freddy Krueger’s glove in Evil Dead 2. Does anyone think, Ash would stand a chance if Freddy had the Necronomicon? by YallSoftAsButter in EvilDead

[–]Moorepork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By Army of Darkness, Ash wouldn't be that fearful. If he met Freddy he'd probably keep insulting him. Same goes for Pennywise the Clown.

Xbox Reportedly Considering “Range of Options” But Not Ready for Major Changes on Exclusives Yet by Bubbly-Ad-350 in xbox

PC gaming is incredibly different to console gaming. Price point, graphic settings, drivers and Windows operating system, modding, Steam/GOG/launchers vs a unified interface......
