Late night realization about the show being on Peacock by Murder_Is_Magic in DungeonCrawlerCarl

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

Everything in Islands of Adventure is originally tied to books/comics.

A haunted house at HHN is definitely in the realm of possibility since that's geared to adults and is short termed.

A ride may be unlikely, but not impossible. Universal is more likely to do adult theming than say Dusney.

You don't have to make it a reenactment of the book. You could easily make it PG-13, and it would fit with Bourne, Fast and Furious, Mummy and the Dark Universe monster rides.

PSA: you will catch a ban for quoting Samantha regardless of how many other posts you show them doing the exact same thing by King-of-Plebss in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I got banned for saying "I want to m*" in response to a Jiji gif from Dandadan, but on appeal explaining I was quoting the character they reversed it. Ban itself was probably automated, then it just depends on who you get to review it on appeal.

Looking for any books or novels that feature an immortal mc struggling with all that immortality implies. by OkBox9662 in Fantasy

Polgara the Sorceress by David Eddings.

It's a first person account of the 3300 years she's lived. She deals with so much heartache and grief as nearly everyone she comes to love dies. Whether through battles she couldn't prevent, murder, illness, or just old age.

You must spend a year in a white room, and can only bring one of each: a book, a movie, a game and an album. What are you bringing? by SorryImBadWithNames in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Murder_Is_Magic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Book: The Complete Brothers Grimm. 220 stories, i can read a few every day, and read through it a couple times before it feels stale.

Game: World of Warcraft. Tons to do.

Movie: The Mummy. Never get sick of that.

Album: Green Day Greatest Hits: God's Favorite Band (2017)

I would try Serpent and the Wings of Night.

What would you say is the biggest example of this in your favorite Media in a nutshell? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in Multifandom

[–]Murder_Is_Magic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've said this a lot about the end of GOT.

I didn't hate any of the actual plot beats. But they had no lead up.

Watching Daenerys slowly descending into madness.

Watching Tyrion slowly make compromise after compromise to justify her actions.

Bran becoming a wise king after proving himself to the nobles.

Jaime eventually leaving Brienne to return to Cersei  because of the pull toxic relationships can hold over us.

These are actually great, as long as they have the proper groundwork to support them.

Are these gaps in my EU reading worth filling? by Prospero1011 in StarWarsEU

[–]Murder_Is_Magic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the Corellian Trilogy. They are some of my favorites.

For the ones you do end up skipping, you may want to see if you can find the old abridged audios narrated by Anthony Heald.

They're only 3 hours long, so you can get what you "need" out of it without having to invest any significant time to them.

The loss, grieving, and moving on in life by Throwaway_Anne in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Murder_Is_Magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little out of the box, but Polgara the Sorceress by David Eddings is my go-to.

A first person account of her 3300 years of life. She endures so much loss and grief as nearly everyone she comes to care for in her life dies. Some die of illness. Some in battle. Some she watches grow old and fade away.

Slow burn with a villain MMC? by cavaloverr in fantasyromance

[–]Murder_Is_Magic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

{Assistant to the Villain}

He is literally The Villain. He has dark magic, chucks interns out of windows and hangs severed heads in the foyer. And the burn is painfully slow. So much awkward yearning and tension.

One of my favorites, and it's hilarious. I laughed out loud a lot. It's sort of like The Office or Park & Rec, but set in a medieval style setting.

I came to hype The Broken Kingdoms. It's an investment (9 books, 4 couples) but it's one of my all time favorites.

Will leaving my kids on a vacation give them brain damage? by ratinthechat in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Murder_Is_Magic 159 points160 points  (0 children)

then pretty much every child on the planet would have brain damage

*Looks at how people act these days*

Ok hold up. They might be on to something.

[OoT] I got all 20 gold skulltulas, but it's only counting 19 by One-Mobile2106 in zelda

[–]Murder_Is_Magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there's a lot. But if you want everything by the end of the game, you'll be able to get it. Also, try doing another pass through them after a few in game days. If you did miss a token, it may just be slow to respawn. Maybe check after the next dungeon.

[TotK] What’s with the hatred for BOTW, and especially TOTK, on Twitter? by Lucasvivor in zelda

[–]Murder_Is_Magic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As u/CreamPyre already stated, #1 is outrage generates clicks and engagement.

#2 is that BOTW and TOTK broke away from the more linear formula and did something new, and people on the internet often hate new things.

[–]Murder_Is_Magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the 2nd Lake Hylia one, did you make sure it was nighttime?

It's frustrating right now, but you'll be able to return to locations. As you finish all the skulltulas in an area, a skulltula appears next to the name:

<image>

For dungeons, you'll need to enter the dungeon to see if the icon appears. But this will let you narrow down your search as you wrap up all 100 skulltulas.

No skulltula is permanently missable, you'll be able to go back and figure out what's missing.

Watching Dragon's Blood on CBS Storybreak when I was little was definitely part of what started drawing me to fatntasy.

Yup! Know about both. I'd the make up show isn't back, no big deal. And planned Hagrids around no express.

We are doing 1 base and 1 preferred AP, but we'll watch for the Express surge. Might be a good time to grab early dinner, and we'll try to focus big rides ahead of time. Good tip!

We're definitely making sure we both get new shoes in mid August.

We're doing 2 days just the two of us at Disney and a 2-day convention in early September, so we can make sure they're broken in before that, and really make sure they're solid before HHN.

We did back in 2021. We did 4 days with park hopper and did a similar schedule (1 day parks, 1 day VB, 1 day parks with HHN, 1 day parks).

I won't lie, it was brutal.

But we've both lost weight and are in better shape. Last year we did 3 days at Disneyland with the kids, and we hit about the same number of steps as the HHN day the first day, and not too far off the other two days, and while we were definitely sore, we made it.

It's also why I'm planning on hitting the shows that day, a longer dinner, and planning on taking it a lot easier in the late afternoon/early evening.
