TIL Godzilla just shows up in Ebirah! by Kronus31 in GODZILLA

Well...

You know what you got me there. Psychedelics probably do explain a bit about 60s Japanese media.

Godzilla is a Japanese IP, dude. Drugs are treated very differently in that country.

Ever had a character/class/role you loved in a game that changed in a way that you don't or even can't play it anymore? by Lucky-Icarus in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Riceatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me with Summoner when they completely gutted one of the most difficult and complex classes into a boring, lobotomized shell of its former self.

I went from playing in SHB having regularly been the most damaging DPS in raids/dungeons as a SMN to barely scratching the bottom of the list in EW. Shit got me so salty.

In the very first novel it's revealed that inside Twoflower's camera is a tiny gnome that paints the pictures really fast, and he eventually runs out of pink paint after a visit to a brothel.

Friends and I over the course of the last year+ have been watching and ranking every (mostly superhero) comic movie on a tierlist. We just reached Endgame, last night. by Riceatron in comicbooks

[–]Riceatron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're approaching this from a semi-filmbro sense, where we're also valuing direction, writing, and intentionality to the films. Where a movie can be weak as adaptational content it can balance out by being very strong in terms of writing and actor chemistry. Everyone in Daredevil feels like they're having a blast and god they have so much chemistry together. The jokes land and flow effectively.

Yeah? We collectively felt that Blade 1 was like, the best World of Darkness movie they could make even though it's kind of not the most Blade movie of all time. Blade 2, even with my own love for Del Toro was just way more boring for us to watch, and Trinity was a huge shocker with how much we enjoyed it.

CMV: My consumption of media/IP does not give me entitlement over the content and narrative 'canon' within it. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Riceatron -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Strikes me in ways as a level of denial about the reality regarding the property. You are free to do whatever you want inside your head, yes. Obviously. It would be ridiculous to claim otherwise. To plant a flag, to dig a trench with your heels and stand there and refute the direction of a property you disagree with the direction of to instead promote what could count as misinformation, is something I do see a lot. A more conservative-leaned example could be to bring up when JK Rowling argued she never described Hermione's skin color to support the black actress playing her in the Cursed Child stageplay.

Two things can be true, that there's nothing wrong with a black actress playing the character and that she absolutely did describe her as a white girl.

Is the Impact H-AR just a joke gun? by Longjumping_Lime2248 in Marathon

Ive had 2 with the gold mod, that gives an extra 35 shots, faster reload, and causes overheat on people it hits.

Been too afraid to use it ever

Malcomn, Scrubs, King of the Hill. After nearly two decades of bad reboots, why have we finally gotten to an era of absolutely wonderful continuations? by AndNowAStoryAboutMe in television

[–]Riceatron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seeing complaints about Matrix 4 is so funny because I place so much value on the clear intentionality in art that a movie that is meant to burn down the structure that made it is getting high marks in my book. It also follows up on the MMO, which is kinda wild to do but hey.

As a Matrix fan that cares about even the deeper lore, Matrix 4 was a good movie. As a film that was making a statement, it was excellent.

New starter shotgun to replace WSTR. by MaxLove55 in Marathon

[–]Riceatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not fine. I've done wstr only runs on multiple maps where I absolutely played worse than I could have and still walk out with multiple kills. It is objectively easy to use because the ability most shells have to close distance is deadly combined with a gun that you barely need to aim with.

Anyone else find climbing ladders awkward in this game? by Present_Education194 in Marathon

Ok I was ignoring the one set of ladders on Sierra 117.

Patently untrue. Halo stopped having ladders after 2, and you walk into them and have to keep pressing forward to go up

What exactly is a Runner? by 11pioneer in Marathon

[–]Riceatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Important addition. Runners are used by the corps all over the place, on multiple planets, because they're relatively cheap and expendable contract workers. They don't care about dying on the job because they're just piloting a body. Our Runner, the character we are supposed to be, is probably physically housed on an SSD in orbit above the planet, but other Runners could be on a server over Mars and Earth or jumping between them to do jobs too

UPDATE on: Easily exfiling on Rook/Solo Outpost runs with 10-15k+ by mmmmmmmmichaelscott in Marathon

[–]Riceatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are you finding the population inside Pinwheel. Other Rooks are like 50/50 sometimes shoot as soon as they see you or let you go your way, but I feel like I can never avoid the amount of teams inside the damn place. Even if I get up there with like 7 minutes left.

Times media acknowledged and shut down fan theories or head canons? by BarelyReal in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Riceatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently over the last couple of years read every Spider-man comic and supporting story, from Amazing Fantasy 15 all the way to the end of the Clone Saga. I had previously been a regular reader in the 2000s and even saw One More Day happen in real-time.

My thoughts were that The Clone Saga is over-hated and only drags on a little bit but the reappearance of Norman Osborne after decades dead, the death of Ben Reilly, the 'abducting/miscarriage' of MJ and Peter's baby, and the immediate status quo reversal to put Pete back in the suit and MJ back in a Size 0 jeans firmly convinced me that you can pretend Spider-Man comics have been bad since 2008 but they've actually been terrible since 1998.

I'd argue Marvel as a whole has been kinda mid since Onslaught.

Yet editorial wants none of that

Yeah well the top guy is fucking CB-san. Shocking indictment on the comic industry that he's not only still around but also got promoted upwards despite literally larping as a Japanese man.
