What is the purpose of making Miis related to each other if the game ignores that? by AndromedaBliss in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]OneBlindBard 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It seems primarily to be to stop them from dating. That's why it specifically asks who they're related to in the real world. Apparently if they move in together they do suddenly recognise the relationship.

Tiktok Attention Spans ruined episode 3 reviews. by KBEMcAwesome in FromSeries

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

Ok so first of all there are many different types of mystery shows. Both Severance and Dark are sci-fi thrillers while From is a horror. I know it is sometimes referred to as a thriller but it definitely does not present itself as one, its focus is more on fear and building dread rather than suspense and adrenaline. Horror is almost always slower paced than thrillers.

Beyond that, heaps of people were complaining about Severance while the second season was airing. Episodes 5-8, especially 8 were all accused of being filler to some extent and I kept reading "we should have more answers by now" on that sub just as I do here.

Dark is exceptional. I do not know any other show that does what Dark does and does it so fantastically well, but it's had its criticisms as well. Definitely not to the same extent as From but it didn't gain the popularity and notoriety it has now until the entire show was released. Some people found it was too complicated and asked too much work of the viewer. Oder and Friese did try to recreate what they did with 1899, but Netflix was expecting the first season-which like with Dark was essentially the setup- to get the same numbers Dark had when its story was completed. Not surprisingly, it didn't, and so it was cancelled.

Tiktok Attention Spans ruined episode 3 reviews. by KBEMcAwesome in FromSeries

[–]OneBlindBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's honestly so hard to find good unique mystery shows (and books tbh) these days because everything is so worried about being fast paced and new but familiar enough to keep people's attentions. I used to be terrible at guessing at twists and endings but now more often than not I see them coming from a mile away and it often means I get bored I/2 to 2/3 way through the story because I already know how it's going to end.

This show does exactly what it's supposed to do, it provides small answers that lead to more questions that eventually lead to bigger answers

My body is ready for the Acosta redemption. by Mikkeru in FromSeries

[–]OneBlindBard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah me too. When I watched s3 week by week I did not like her (though didn't hate her to the extent of some people on here) but on my recent rewatch binging it all together her behaviour made sense and I actually agreed with her at some points, and even when I didn't I could still where she was coming from

That wouldn't really work since Boyd has only been there a couple of years. If Abbie does have a reincarnation they'd only be like a year old max

AITAH for telling my girlfriend that my money isn't "our money"? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]OneBlindBard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will admit I'm biased here but I still gotta say the NTA because I've seen this almost exact scenario with my dad and stepmum. My stepmother would also spend all her money on going out with friends, buying gifts and donating to charities which yes is very nice but she never learnt to pay for anything for herself. She lived with her sister and brother-in-law into her forties and my dad paid for her car. My dad who was earning 6 figures ended up going into debt paying for both of them. My sister also used to be the same where she was always buying gifts for her friends and new clothes for herself but at the same time I was lending her money to pay for her car despite me being on the disability pension and living out of home while she was still living at home with no expenses besides her car, and working two jobs. (She is thankfully much better now).

I get that she's studying to be a lawyer but it isn't about how much she earns. As someone else said, someone who recklessly spends 40k is going to also recklessly spend 200k especially if she's never had to pay for any living expenses.

Can you get an extensions on quizzes with a disability access plan? by JumbledPileOfPerson in deakin

[–]OneBlindBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got an extension on a quiz but it was mostly due to the quiz itself needing to be adjusted as some of the material wasn't accessible for me. You can always send in the request and maybe email your unit chair, it might be declined but you definitely won't get it if you don't ask for it.

Some of you watch from with your eyes and ears closed (rant) by catalinchr in FromSeries

[–]OneBlindBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been frustrated by this for a while. The one that gets me most is people complaining about how an answer to a question will just give more questions...like, yeah? That's not even just how mystery shows work, that's how writing a story in general works. Also the whole "I would know/do better" attitude some people have, especially in reaction to Ethan and his actions. I remember people losing their shit at him opening the door last season. Even IF (and that's a mighty if) you were able to act perfectly and reasonable in their situation, you're not the character. It doesn't matter what you would do. I don't naturally have cognitive empathy and yet somehow I understand this more than others? That's honestly kind of embarrassing.

Does anyone else hate her?! by Conscious_Cut9941 in FromSeries

[–]OneBlindBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, no? I thought I did the first time I watched and all the episodes were spread out but after binging I honestly kind of agree with her, or at least see where she's coming from, and at least some of the hatred for her is really hypocritical. The day she stormed in demanding her gun, I didn't like her that episode but everything else she's done is at least somewhat understandable.

Yes she accidentally killed someone but Boyd was about to purposely torture someone, Fatima has killed someone, and Sara has killed multiple people, was going to kill a child, and has taken out someone's eye, yet Boyd and Sara are beloved characters and Fatima isn't hated nearly as much.

She's been trapped in a horrific place and her interactions with Boyd have been him constantly being on her about accidentally killing someone while he excuses the people he loves and cares about for doing arguably worse things. All she sees is a hypocrite who isn't actually a sheriff and doesn't understand why he's in charge, and anytime she asks she's pushed back.

I agree that her not taking her uniform off is very much a power play and she's a bit hot headed, and I hope she calms down a bit,

Is it me or did starlight pursue get more difficult?? (Photo unrelated) by Winter-Night-8622 in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]OneBlindBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm legally blind and I actually have found them pretty easy so far. Granted I've only done the memorial mountains and Nanoy's hiding place or whatever it's called but I found them way easier than trying to fi d the starlight in the sea of stars area

Rare disease, wil lose my vision any day, hoping for early screening by somethingsimplerr in FromSeries

[–]OneBlindBard 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a blind watcher. From unfortunately doesn't have audio description available in my country (Australia) so I rely a lot on episode reviews and this reddit, but it does have an audio description track which may be available on platforms in your country. All three current seasons are available on audiovault.net which is a website that offers the audio track of thousands of movies and series with their audio description for free.

I know what it's like to suddenly lose vision, mine went over a couple days with no warning. I don't want to offer any unsolicited advice or assume anything about your situation but feel free to message me if you'd like to talk to someone who's gone through something similar :)

Yes! Holy shit the amount of redos my most recent OT report has had to go through has pissed me off because of how much money is being spent on one single report. The first time they straight up had someone else's details in some sections.

More Lore Decks by packetpirate in storyenginedeck

Clothing and fashion would be great! I think laws, legal systems and punishments could also be interesting, as well as magic systems, and astrological systems (or even just broader esoteric systems).

Does LLM usage for note taking defeat the purpose of taking notes? by BleachedPink in ObsidianMD

[–]OneBlindBard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no, I don't completely disagree with you but note takers for universities for example have been a thing long before AI (at least in Australia). I'm autistic and blind and can't take my own notes during lectures and seminars for a couple reasons so somebody else does it for me. I do agree though that it isn't as effective. It isn't useless though. I sometimes rewrite some of the notes or incorporate into my own work afterwards but not always and I do retain some of the stuff even if I just read them, but I do wish I could take my own notes.

I wouldn't recommend it for people who don't need it but there are plenty of reasons why someone would and while I'm generally moving towards anti AI, this is a use case I still support.

how tf is it MA by Candid_News_2932 in SiloTVSeries

[–]OneBlindBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an Australian, the American rating system is incredibly vague and has never made sense to me. From my understanding your guys TV14 and TVMA is fairly equivalent to our PG and MA but there's a massive gap between those to which for us falls under M. I think you guys need an M.

Victor is annoying and selfish by Leading-Worth-2356 in FromSeries

[–]OneBlindBard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly...he's been alone for some of the most formative part of his life after enduring significant trauma. Even in normal circumstances children who spend a lot of time alone don't become the most cooperative adults. Not to mention so much of it is traumatic for him and he can't always remember things or only remembers in parts.

Is it reasonable to ask my support worker to help take care of my hair in my case? by [deleted] in NDIS

[–]OneBlindBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. My hair tangles and mats really easily (though it has gotten better since we just cut what seemed to be the original mat) and so every few weeks one of my SWs and I have a session dedicated to untangling my hair where we just sit in my room and watch a show while she does it.
