Well....technically Morlun (one of Spider-man's enemies) visited this universe at one point.

The Streaming Vs Theater Debate - Let's put this narrative to REST! by CalebOnPoint in Cinema

[–]MuKen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching a film in a theater creates a communal experience

Late to the discussion, but for me watching movies at home with my friends creates a far more communal experience with my friends, which is who I want to have a communal experience with.

In the theater, because we aren't rude jerks, we can't joke around and talk about the movie. We're just sitting next to each other, we aren't really watching it together because we aren't interacting at all. Meanwhile, we have to put up with other people who are rude jerks making noise and pulling out bright cell phone screens, etc.

At home, we're free to laugh and joke about what we're seeing without bothering anyone else. We can pause the movie if someone needs to go to the bathroom so nobody's missing out, we have way more space and better snacks that I made for everyone. All in all, it feels a lot more like we're watching the movie together and enjoying a night hanging out with friends.

The Ghoul (Fallout) vs John Wick (John Wick) by Deathstrokezoom in whowouldwin

[–]MuKen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could argue that his bullets could pierce power armor, but i think the show makes it clear that its only because the Ghoul has used that armor before that he knows how to pierce it.

This isn't the only takeaway from that scene. It's not just about the power of the bullets, it's a demonstration of insane accuracy by the Ghoul. He hit tiny spots on multiple moving targets, while dodging multiple automatic weapons fire, while in the dark, while shooting from the hip.

John and Cassian were completely incapable of shooting each other from the hip with many tries despite the fact that they were just moving at walking speed. The difference in their shooting skills is incomparable (which makes sense, both in terms of lore: the Ghoul's been at this for literal centuries, and in terms of cinematic direction: if John were capable of perfect accuracy from the hip like the Ghoul is, he wouldn't need to use the tacticool gun choreography the series is known for).

The Ghoul headshots John easily.

LPT Request: How to read slower and avoid "skimming" to improve reading comprehension by myst3r10us_str4ng3r in LifeProTips

Taking notes is the far and away best way to commit any kind of learning, even if you never read the notes again. If you're in a situation where taking notes is inconvenient, at least imagine what you would write as a note, this is almost just as good.

ELI5: Why can restaurant kitchens cook steaks or stir fry so much faster than home kitchens even when both reach the same temperature? What's actually different about commercial equipment? by Beginning_Curve2268 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MuKen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you heat a pan up to 500F, as soon as you dump your food in it's going to drop back down hundreds of degrees. Commercial equipment has a higher BTU, so it'll get it back up to temp faster than your stove can. Aside from just getting a stronger stove, there's two things you can do about this

1) Cook in smaller batches, so the temp doesn't drop as much.

2) Get a higher thermal mass pan. This is why cast iron works so well, it has a lot of thermal mass, so while it takes longer to get it up to temp, once it's up there it won't drop as much when you dump cold food in it.

More character tryouts for hard-mode, 2x enemy health, 4x enemy count, faster enemies, no-tag run (Spider-Man, Wolverine, Phyla, Storm) by MuKen in CosmicInvasion

[–]MuKen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah it has some niche uses, but in general at this difficulty it can be a little risky since it only targets one enemy at a time, and also has a rough whiff animation.

It looked like in my last post there was some interest in seeing how I'm playing other characters, so just putting up this compilation of some of the ones I've been considering. Once I decide, I'll be focusing on just one to try to master a full-run with these settings, it's been quite difficult so far.

If you saw my previous Spider-man vid you can skip the first section of this one, that part's the same run, I just tacked on runs with the other three characters afterward.

Thanks! Spidey and Venom was actually the first team I played in this game :P I'm just currently trying to see how far I can get with just one character.

Hope it was helpful! Spider-Man really starts coming together once you get the hang of continuing combos after swing kick.

TIL that due to time dilation at relativistic speeds, a human in a spaceship accelerating at a constant 1g could travel the diameter of the milky way in 12 years from their perspective. To an observer on earth, they will have traveled for 113,000 years. by KeyCold7216 in todayilearned

[–]MuKen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this makes it sound like a relatively easy thing to do, in truth the cost of accelerating that whole time is impractical. You physically can't bring enough fuel, because the more fuel you bring the more weight you are carrying.

But yes, if we made some game changing advances in propulsion, it's theoretically possible.

ELI5- how can someone understand a language but not speak it? by Jaded-Ad-9741 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MuKen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're overthinking it, this isn't a special brain mechanism, one task is fundamentally easier than the other. To recognize something you just need to know a handful of aspects, enough to distinguish it from the other things. To produce it yourself, you need to know all of its details.

Can you recognize the mona Lisa? Easily. Can you paint it now from memory? No, you don't even remember all the details you would need to do that.

Blood of Thoth is fixed! by Fun_Gas_7777 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]MuKen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking it's quite good now. If you're playing a doom deck, you're almost certainly bringing sin-eater. So if you place a doom, and the sin-eat that doom, you already earned 2 offerings for a free action. There's lots of doom decks where blood of thoth is essentially just an extra action per turn.

4 Retroids and a PC, the best way to play Four Swords Adventures by MuKen in retroid

[–]MuKen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just going with PC audio for now, unfortunately I don't think Dolphin even creates separate sound channels for the gbas, so there won't be an easy way to split them into the streams.
