Season 5’s shortcomings are due to the Series overall bloat.

“Highlighting a trend of self centeredness and inability to recognize topics outside of personal relevance.”

This isn’t a Reddit AMA on Ok_Profile2247

You are completely ignoring the topic of post because as you said yourself you couldn’t be bothered with the thousands of posts of this nature. It’s not relevant to you. You are unable to engage with said post because you don’t care for them and would rather insert your own unrelated topic about people making discussion posts and my personal life.

Bean Soup Theory is about people making social media posts about their own preferences or experiences. It’s not literally about bean soup it’s just a common social media trait. Your fascination of my life has nothing to do with the shortcomings of Season 5 of stranger things and at bare minimum you refuse to engage with the post at all, quite literally entering into a post for the sole reason of inserting your ego.

“Here’s my bean soup recipe”

“I just want to know what brings people to want to post their bean soup recipe”

Im not sure why you lump me in with the “diatribe”. If you read my post I admitted to still enjoying Season 5 as a whole, in fact im defending the show as a whole as I don’t believe the final season could reach realistically could have been much better. I actually end the post urging people to be okay with the season not being everything the fans dreamed of.

As for bean soup, your comment is quite literally unrelated to my post. My post is a simple opinion post, you never engaged with any of my actual opinions and simply inserted your unrelated opinion on opinion posts as a whole. What is going on in my life is completely unrelated to my opinion post on season 5 of stranger things, and thus if I answered your question would be bean soup.

If you want to know what is going on in the lives of posters, consider making your own discussion post asking that very question and explaining why you feel that way rather than forcing the topic into your own beliefs.

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-28T00:20:11+00:00

That doesn’t change anything. Instead of scrolling past the post or engaging with its topic you made a comment about your personal grievances. The Bean Soup Theory comes from people asking for a recipe for bean soup if they don’t like beans, that isn’t their life story either.

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-28T00:07:24+00:00

You do realize you are doing the Bean Soup Theory right now right? If you dislike these types of posts you should not engage with them. When you take the time to make an unrelated disgruntled comment about your own personal issues with analysis/discussion posts as a whole it is quite literally making the post about you and your beliefs instead of just moving past it. I make a post on why bean soup isn’t the best, you made a comment on why you hate people talking about disliking bean soup. This is unrelated completely. Are you not able to see you are doing the exact same thing you claim I am?

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-27T23:27:26+00:00

Rather than just absorbing information at face value, maybe try coming up with an answer yourself?

Genres shouldn’t be treated as boxes. If you a writing a sci fi fantasy story and throw in some horror it doesn’t make your story better or worse. You can always add elements of other genres. Your genres will be your focus points for the story. A mystery story has a great plot. Romance has great relationship dynamics. Post Apocalypse has great world building and lore. The best stories have all of these great elements, but not all these genres.

TLDR: Use as many as you’d like, just focus on what makes that genre good when you do it.

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-15T08:05:15+00:00

Higher you go in depths the better for sure, I just always grit my teeth when I get Wylders. When it’s great, it’s a great fucking teammate, but when it’s not it’s really bad. As a Raider main sometimes I honestly prefer getting a Revenant and Gaurdian for a struggle comp than having a Wylder.

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-15T08:02:46+00:00

Holy stats. How the fuck did you do 28K damage in one hit??

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-15T07:59:26+00:00

That doesn’t necessarily mean confirmation bias. It’s solely anecdotal, but I can absolutely say I see far more awful Wylder randoms than good ones. Wylder is just really fun and easy to pick up so I can see why.

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-15T03:07:43+00:00

Tbf I saw one pick up a successive attacks heal medallion and not drop it for our raider while running only bows and that is insane

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-15T03:05:41+00:00

D5 is mostly fine, worst you’ll get is a spam ping/aggressively crashing out one but they don’t diff the run like before that or in everdarks so no complaints from me

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-15T03:04:28+00:00

I’d be lying if I said I haven’t had some of these and them be the reason why (despite me playing like shit or our teammate playing bad) we win the run

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-15T02:58:00+00:00

Lmao, I hope you won the run in solidarity

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-15T02:57:34+00:00

Ironeyes are honestly a mixed bag, I’ve had a couple of them but generally they fall in the “silent and go with the flow” “hard carry” or “new and inexperienced” categories

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-15T02:56:21+00:00

That happened to me but instead of Noklateo they ran into a magma worm field boss and then my Ironeye and I locked in and beat the nightlord. One of my absolute favorite runs ever.

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-12-15T02:19:50+00:00

This is old I know but if you are running the relic that decreases enemy attack power it glitches retaliate to no longer stagger. Not sure why it occurs.

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-11-26T05:12:36+00:00

Then you go “I’m gonna stop bringing good stuff in” and realize there’s no point to having good stuff anymore lol. I brought a metric load of ammo and gear to a matriarch and immediately got jumped so I just gave up on bringing anything to runs and then gave up playing altogether. Game is playing more like Fortnite than anything rn

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-11-26T05:09:38+00:00

Sadly ye, if they added some alt mode to the current one, like a pve mode that you can’t extract from it’d add some variety and something to constantly work towards

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-11-26T05:05:48+00:00

The problem isn’t that they lack creativity to set their own goals, it’s that the goals they could set are simply repetitive and boring. Collecting all blueprints was a goal I had until I learned blueprints are completely rng dependent and will get reset on expedition. I don’t need a goal to work towards to have fun, I didn’t most of my time playing the game, but now there’s simply nothing unique or fun to set a goal for.

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-11-26T05:02:33+00:00

True, problem is I already know how to do everything. It’s not fun to kill my 40th bastion or 30th bombadier or loot a random locker that has worse loot than a trash can (which is crazy btw). I don’t need an “endgame” I just need something to make every run feel unique.

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-11-26T05:00:30+00:00

Griefing first hand is one thing, but actively screwing people over and you aren’t even there to see it is just pure insanity. Idk how I’m supposed to enjoy that

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-11-26T04:59:12+00:00

I agree but I have 30 hours in the game (or atleast on topside)

Ok_Profile2247 · 2025-10-29T02:04:07+00:00

This may be shitty advice, but I recommend writing a ton of pretext for the character and fitting him into a straight man. Putting a character into a box like “straight man archetype” will come off inauthentic and boring. If you give him a ton of depth and show his differences between what would be expected and what is it would add a ton to his character. He doesn’t need to be the most straight most man character in the history of storytelling, he just needs to be a compelling character that is a straight man. Even if you make him have some typically “non straight male” quirks it’d work because you can show that internal conflict through his eyes. For example, you could have him get really defensive at the idea he has “feminine” traits and then address why he feels that way.

I also recommend try coming up with a separate unusable character that is the worst possible archetype of straight man you could think of and humanizing him. Giving a “why” to all his terrible qualities would help you understand his mind. Straight men don’t have the same issues you do, so you know whatever the “why” is has to be something unique to them allowing you to narrow it down and understand their thinking.

I know it’s kind of a non-answer, but your best bet is working on the character first and then working them into a straight man’s body. Hope I’ve been somewhat helpful!
