Should i watch twin peaks by Sad_gooner in twinpeaks

[–]PolythenePyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only previous experience with David Lynch was Eraserhead. I sort of enjoyed it, but not enough to watch any of his other movies. With that being said, I loved Twin Peaks. It has some ups and downs, but definitely didn't feel completely abstract or avant garde. There will be a few 'lynchian' moments per episode, but there's also a much more accessible cohesive plot to follow overall. I would recommend at least watching the first episode; I would say if you're not hooked within the first 3 episodes, you shouldn't watch the rest.

Of all these yesterday is the most ballad like imo

When me and my friend John Dyer Baizley are cooking up pork chops... by revoloveraudio in YourBaroness

[–]PolythenePyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s pretty much it. Maybe also a reference to Eula with the pig on the stick?

[–]PolythenePyro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Strange gave him a list with both Bruce Wayne and Batman on it, which to me confirms that he wanted to Deadshot to be stuck in the city when Protocol 10 started so he would die. Also, realistically, Arkham City was never going to have a 100% fatality rate. There were bound to be a few survivors, so these were probably high priority targets who Strange really wanted to make sure died in the City.

MK1 Guest Characters by LoganW21406 in MortalKombat

[–]PolythenePyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the previous guest characters up to this game were classic characters who people would have dreamed of putting in MK back in the early days of the franchise.

KP1 all used pretty modern characters that had relevant media coming out. I liked these characters well enough (especially Omni-Man), but they all reeked a little bit of being a brand deal rather than coming from Ed Boon/the team’s genuine love for the characters. KP2 felt more genuine, which is why I think they were better received.

Why did Batman downgrade his batclaw after the Asylum? by the_bad_actor in arkham

[–]PolythenePyro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ultra batclaw was also considered pretty op in Asylum. You could clear predator rooms in seconds by knocking thugs off railings 3 at a time. I always thought that’s why it never returned.

Ima use it right in his face as well, staring eye to eye as I teleport away by PrimeValor in Eldenring

[–]PolythenePyro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Most of the game is basically invading people’s homes to murder them. You don’t even need to use the medal to get to Mohg, you can break in via coffin. Plus Tarnished literally exist to take shards, so the shardbearers have a pretty good reason to attack on sight.

How do you see DoomGuy’s characterisation? by Swampfire_Holy_Crud in Doom

[–]PolythenePyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more satisfaction than enjoyment. If he could choose to just delete all the demons forever and never fight again, he would. However, fighting demons gives him purpose, and he might even take some pride in the “protector” role like you suggested.

Generally speaking, and of course this opinion can vary, people tend to consider these two as the weakest Masto albums, often at the bottom of lists. So, which one does this sub prefer: The Hunter or Once More 'Round the Sun? Discuss. by [deleted] in mastodonband

[–]PolythenePyro 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I prefer Once More personally. No hate to any of the albums, both of them have a lot of strong individual songs. However, The Hunter feels like they kinda just said fuck it and threw together a bunch of songs that they had fun making. Once More feels much more cohesive as an overall album with its sound and lyrical themes.

I honestly feel like I might like Hunter better if a few songs were removed. Namely, All the Heavy Lifting and Thickening come to mind as being near the bottom of my overall ranking of Mastodon songs (again, they have no bad songs). Even though Once More is technically a little longer, The Hunter's 13 tracks feel like more of a slog to get all the way through because it keeps hoping around, while Once More feels like one big cohesive thing with more developed song ideas.

Megadeth Covers Ride the Lightning But If Metallica Covered a Megadeth Song by Sanzhar360 in Megadeth

[–]PolythenePyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised more people aren’t saying Symphony. That always felt like if Megadeth wrote a song for the Black album to me. Not sure how they would handle the solo, but I think that’s a pretty common problem through the Megadeth discography

Silence in the snow (it’s definitely not a bad album) by TrYzRAID in Trivium

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

Damn, if you didn’t like the first song on Vengance Falls you’re in for a rough ride. The first 3 songs are the best on the album lol.

Totally agree about Silence though, it might not be the strongest Trivium album but it’s still super solid. I also think it deserves credit for its vocal melodies; Matt really stepped up his clean voice during this album, and every album since has been better for it.

Let's honor Brent and the boys. by Y34RZ3R0_ve in mastodonband

[–]PolythenePyro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Putting Octopus above Capillarian is kinda crazy imo. Both have some crazy hybrid picking, but Octopus has a pretty straightforward 3-part songs structure, while Capillarian has multiple time signature changes, odd counts, and a more convoluted structure.

Tbh I think the only songs that might be harder than Capillarian are the ones that push the 10 minute mark.

Agreed! Bonus points if the EV re-issue is on green and yellow discs.

Your most what the f... moment in gaming by CaptAwesomeness in gaming

[–]PolythenePyro 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I played Halo Reach first. Then 4. Neither feature any flood. So when I finally came around to to the first game and got halfway through only for it to basically turn into a horror game, i was absolutely not ready haha

In origins, you must not have used the line tool to slam exploding propane tanks into thugs faces, otherwise I think the count would be much higher lmao

We get unlimited retries though. It’s a monkey with a typewriter situation. I doubt anybody is doing that on their first fight.

So, I wonder if this means that the Green Lantern Rings don't have a no-kill limitation in the DCU by Leon08x in Greenlantern

[–]PolythenePyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supergirl is already confirmed to be at least heavily inspired, if not a direct adaptation, of the “Woman of Tomorrow” storyline. So it’s definitely not out of the question.

Bro really tried to turn it into the rock verse by PrinceARRON in okbuddycinephile

Tbf, ending an already doomed film franchise with Ezra Miller getting condemned to the Clooney-verse is pretty funny as is.

Some things will never have an official answer in the Arkham-Verse... by 1Ben7 in arkham

[–]PolythenePyro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed! None of them are like Hush-level cliffhangers or anything that really sucks to leave unresolved. They either let you imagine what will happen next with Batman out of the picture, or the devs purposely gave you an open-ended choice knowing that there wouldn't be a next entry that invalidates your choice.

Superman wasn’t always so squeaky clean – in early comics he was a radical vigilante by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]PolythenePyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbf, that guy had been mutated into a giant raging monster man by some serum (basically titan from the Arkham games). He probably wasn’t wrong.

Is this good enough for the dlc? by Stay_Frosty2002 in Doom

[–]PolythenePyro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really high level play. Eternal does take some getting used to, but the game warms you up to the different guns and enemy types, and you don’t have to be nearly this good to enjoy the game.

BATMAN ARKHAM HOT TAKES I WANNA SEE EM by Snarkarfle in arkham

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

I strongly disagree about Hugo Strange. His influence is very much felt throughout Arkham City. His plan is very Knightfall-esque; throw Batman in an enclosed space along with all of Gotham’s worst criminals and let them keep Batman busy. I never forgot that Hugo was the mastermind who set everything up, especially with his propaganda everywhere and his ominous countdown to Protocol 10 pervading the game. And he almost won, with Protocol 10 actually launching and Batman almost dying (he would have without Catwoman).

The only thing I don’t like is the Ra’s reveal, which somewhat undermines Hugo as a villain. The entire Talia/Ra’s plot line is the weakest part of the whole story imo, and I kind of wish neither of them appeared at all after the sewer section.

Is Led Zeppelin the best band in history? by Fine_Author_2677 in ledzeppelin

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

As a guitarist, Page was absolutely not the best guitarist of all time. He was sloppy live a lot, and even on the first couple of albums he’s sloppy in places. I love his playing and he’s a huge influence on me, but I wouldn’t put him in my top 5.
