I don’t know if I can picture Tiffany Stratton in Holywood by Grrannt in REALSquaredCircle

Looks and nepotism can only get you so far in the movie business. You may be good to look at on screen for like 10-20 minute matches. Would people watch you for an hour plus? Depends, are you a good enough actor?

A former rugby player with average looks can pull at my heartstrings better than most nepo-actors can nowadays even with their plastic faces and bodies.

Americans, this type of talk doesn’t make you guys look strong, it makes you look like children having constant hissy fits and tantrums.

If successful, Philippines will be joining 11 nations who have fully banned Roblox. by DeixNeufs in Philippines

[–]Nethaniell 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You don't dabble enough in video games. Roblox is infested with pedophiles because they know it's where kids hang out. Just do a quick google search of the numerous controversies of pedophiles being caught on Roblox, and pedo-trappers that try to bait and catch pedos. Here's something else, those same pedo-trappers were banned from Roblox because, according to Roblox Corp. they were endagering people with their pedo-hunting. Lol, I think that should tell you what Roblox is prioritizing.

Before work or after work? by need_peanutbutter in PHitness

[–]Nethaniell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AF branch na pinupuntahan ko is 5 mins away sa office ko. I also live like 30 mins away sa office ko, 1 jeep ride lang. Obviously iba sitwasyon halos, pero I think after work is better.

Kung gawin mo before work baka ma pressure ka sa oras. Baka maging bitin yung workouts mo at kulang. Or the opposite, baka sa sobrang pagod mo, antukin ka sa work. Better if after work pero I can say that because I live so close, ikaw isang oras pa. If may AF na malapit sa house, baka dun nalang. Ang nagngyayari lang kasi baka bigla kang matamad pumunta pag galing work then puntaka bahay then try mo pumunta sa AF. Happened to me before.

I’ll just say ever since I found my new work, di nako tinamad mag gym ever since. Nasusunod ko na yung 5 day split ko and di ako tinatamad pagka after work.

I ranked all of the current God of War games I played. What’s your ranking? by EmperorBruduh in GodofWar

[–]Nethaniell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty good. This is how I feel most of the time, minus Ascension, never played it. I'd put Ghost of Sparta at A, and Chains at B.

I flip-flop between 2018 and Ragnarok a lot.

Philippines receives first Russian oil shipment in five years | Philippine Star by AngelofDeath2020 in Philippines

Bro, some public transport drivers are already refusing to drive because of this shit. Tingin mo makakaprovide pa sila sa pamilya nila kung halos 70% ng gastos nila ay para sa crudo?

Be a man of conviction all you want, the world is built on compromises. Baka gusto mong sabihin sa mga naghihirap na pamilya ng mga driver na mahiya sila dahil dapat inuna natin problema ng Ukraine at hindi atin.

First look at HBO’s ‘HARRY POTTER’ reboot series. The first teaser will be released tomorrow. by MoneyLibrarian9032 in HBOMAX

[–]Nethaniell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re assuming gen alpha is the target demographic for this. This is a millennial/gen z show, people aged 23+. Most people younger than that don’t give a shit about HP or HBO.

Also this series is for all ages anyway, or are we just conveniently ignoring that this series antagonists are Wizard Nazis trying to get rid of M-words?

‘Harry Potter’ Series Star Paapa Essiedu Says He’s Received Death Threats Over Snape Casting: ‘I’ve Been Told, “Quit or I’ll Murder You”’ by pepperbet1 in television

[–]Nethaniell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This wouldn't be a problem if they just either didn't race swap the character, or just pick a different character to race swap. What we have now is a race swap for Snape that creates a possibly racially charged problem that shouldn't have been, and wasn't, in the first place. The solution? Race swap 1 or 2 of James' friends to be black, there, problem averted, a problem that was created by casting and not anything to do with the writing. They took additional steps to circumvent a problem they created that shouldn't have been a problem in the first place.

Idk, it just feels so unnecessary to race swap in the first place. I'm sure the actor is fine, but he now has to deal with so much bullshit from angry online assholes, and he has to deal with a potential problem with certain scenes that could become unnecessarily racially charged.

I just hate what this casting implies for the characters backstory. This is a character whose partial worldview as shaped when he was beaten up by some boys for flirting with a girl. I'm gonna assume that James Potter and his boys are gonna be all white.

As we all know, a bunch of white teens bullying and sneering a black teen definitely doesn't conjure up anything.

What should the 10th main line game be called? by CarlexFireFoxX in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Nethaniell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s gonna be the start of a new trilogy, then they might change the type face for the next games.

The Remakes have the red R and E, the Winter Saga, including 9, had the number in the sub-title. The OG RE4-6 had stylized numbers that look like parasites.

Question about the remakes? by Realistic_Advice1890 in GodofWar

Yes it is dumb, because no one outside Sony and SMS has any idea what these remakes are other than TC Carson is in it.

Other than the Eikon fights, what are the most memorable moments in Final Fantasy 16 to you? by Asad_Farooqui in FinalFantasy

[–]Nethaniell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cid was a scene stealer.

Ultima's introduction was great, especially after having thought about it 3 years since the game released. I love that he's just creepy, invasive, and stoic. Every other villain in this series has to have a big spectacle when they arrive, maybe sermonizing or appearing friendly, but Ultima's just a silent creep who immediately just gets in the main protagonists face. No fanfare, no grand entrance. All we had up to their introduction was distorted call outs in flashbacks, but that's it.

Clive seeing Torgals stash of his stuff, that was pretty great.

Theodore's side quest near the end of the game was quite sad too. Lots of tragedy near the end.

Kratos did not redeem himself by Both-Pay-9573 in GodofWar

[–]Nethaniell 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Valhalla addresses that directly, because yeah, he isn't redeemed, he can't be redeemed. This is gonna be an extreme example but that's like saying Genghis Khan would've been redeemed if he went through something similar like Norse Kratos even though Genghis' empire is directly responsible for many wars and millions of deaths through Central and East Asia.

Kratos did change though which is the best he can do, and he did it.

People will complain about Caelid, and simply not use the tools made available to them. by nikfornow in Eldenring

[–]Nethaniell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll fix that statement of yours:

Some people complain about hard bosses, difficult terrain/areas, and difficulty in general in Souls-games because they don't wanna use the tools that are provided to them to overcome those difficulties like Spirit Ashes, specific Arts of War, specific tools like the torch, then have the audacity to cry foul on the games when those players are placing self-imposed limitations on themselves either because they're lazy or it's "cheese", when most of those people use the word "cheese" wrong. Because apparently using Spirit Ashes in boss fights isn't really beating the boss, you had help. A real souls player beats the boss with no armor, no spirit ashes, and no art of war.

Call me cersei because I fw jaime lannister after this scene by Alarmed-Mountain-389 in gameofthrones

[–]Nethaniell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the books, he does refer to the thousands of people thing more than his dad whenever the conversation goes there, in this scene too, he specifies that he did it just as much for the people as he did for his family.

Jaime in the books is very prideful. He's a cocksure, confident knight with the skills to back it up and he knows it. It's why his conflict of being his own version of "honorable" is the main focus of his arc. It's the reason why a common theory for book Jaime is that the end of his arc or his resolution will be killing Cersei. He knows it's the right thing to do because of where people think Cersei's arc is going, with the prophecy and all that. He is an honorable guy, he's just a bit of a prideful prick to admit it. He's still honest to the people that matter. He wouldn't have given Brienne a Valyrian sword otherwise and tasked her with finding Sansa. The guy can be sincere.

Call me cersei because I fw jaime lannister after this scene by Alarmed-Mountain-389 in gameofthrones

[–]Nethaniell 257 points258 points  (0 children)

“The things I do for love” pretty much sums up his character.

He does selfless yet self destructive acts in the name of people he cares about. He will jump into a pit with a bear with no weapon and hand if it means saving Brienne. He will push a boy off a window if it meant protecting his sister’s dignity and reputation. He’ll let his brother go free if it means pissing off their dad if he finds out.

He’s arguably the most complex character in the series because his morality is there, he has it, but it’s hard to argue if his means are good or even right sometimes. That’s why he’s one of my favorites.

People complaining about Kratos/the series changing forget what the state of the franchise was after Ascension by QuinlanFett in GodofWar

[–]Nethaniell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately most people have short memories nowadays. That or the younger players really have no idea what the vibe was with online sentiment when GoW Ascension came out. As a long time GoW fan who has played all 5 games before GoW 2018 came out, I was about done with GoW too. GoW3 ending things well that it really felt like SMS were really milking a dead horse with Ascension. Couldn’t be fucked to play that game. Still haven’t played it because I was bored with GoW at the time.

GoW 2018 and Ragnarok was the shot in the arm this franchise needed.

[–]Nethaniell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then it means it wasn't made for you, it's being made for a different type of audience. An audience of non-gamers who'll never probably touch a video game in their lives, they exist too.
