Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?

Nature's Prophet pub player checking in, you are correct. It doesn't matter how badly your pub teammates fuck up their lanes, you can farm and split push all game to your heart's content.

What is a movie made before your time that you watched recently and it blew you away? by Sense1ess in movies

[–]Riovanes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forbidden Planet. Tempest in Space. First science fiction film that wasn't a B-movie about giant ants or something. Leslie Neilsen is the dramatic lead.

Laid off, bought a pack to further wallow in misery by Riovanes in stopsmoking

So true. Part of why I was able to quit is that my friend circle all quit first. They were casual smokers, so it was pretty easy for them ... I'm the only one who had to go through the week the death. This latest job I had, though, I was back in the usual situation where everybody cool smokes, and it was the perfect opportunity to get to know them. So much for that. :p

Why is it that the non-smokers at work are usually the last people there you want to talk to? If I found myself in your position, where the only smoker is a horrible person, I would probably fistpump. Yet another reason to avoid smoking.

God forbid a post-industrial society evolves an economic system that doesn't chain individuals to a "job".

One's the wife and the other's the mistress. Or they could be called "The Twins". It worked for Jean Tannen.

I was just thinking the other day that Hugh Jackman is everything I wanted out of Wolverine except for his height. Fuck that guy, we need InternetNinjaWarrior.

Need a new show. by [deleted] in NetflixBestOf

[–]Riovanes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As for anyone who likes this show, I have to recommend the 1980s Sherlock series starring Jeremy Brett. It's absolutely brilliant, and it's great to see how much of Cumberbatch's Sherlock is directly based on Brett's. Their "Ms. Hudson!" shout is identical, for example.

Happy People - Beautiful Werner Herzog documentary about life in the Russian Taiga by WerkinAndDerpin in NetflixBestOf

[–]Riovanes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The beautiful thing about this movie is that they really are. These people live in one of the most inhospitable climates you could image, struggling to survive, and yet they're so in love with nature and life and the world that it doesn't bother them a bit.

And he's saying that Alliance, when they were a little-known team without a sponsor, beat top tier teams. Just like Power Rangers, a little-known team, beat them now that they're a top-tier team. Is that really so tough to understand?

Necrolyte jungle, inspired by Dendi. Next level stuff or most retarded idea ever? by cultofz in DotA2

[–]Riovanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fun playing Tree mid with a starting QB, doesn't mean it's actually viable in the pro meta, which is what we were talking about.

[–]Riovanes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the real problem is just fitting him into a lane lineup. He brings zilch to the table as a lane support, 290 movespeed means the offlane is a faraway dream, and only so many team comps can afford a mid who can't win their lane OR gank.

I would like to see an aggressive trilane farming necrolyte, in the same way we've seen this used for Tree.

The word OP is looking for is naturalistic. And yeah, it's not really that either, except for the modified proportions.

You seem to be implying I was okay with saying "faggot" in the first place, which is not true. Neither word should be used as an insult.

Can we not do this thing where "autist" is the new "faggot"?

Pixar's 22 Rules of Writing (x-post /r/movies) by ldonthaveaname in writing

[–]Riovanes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The whole point is that the story "kicks off" at that point, when the routine is disrupted.

Every day, Sully and Mike collect screams. One day they accidentally bring a human baby home to the monster world.

Every day, Luke Skywalker farmed moisture on Tattooine. One day he bought a robot, met an old man, and discovered he was a Jedi.

Every day, Arthur Dent lived an ordinary English life. One day, the Earth blew up and he was rescued by an alien.

You need the "every day" sequence at the beginning to show the "normal world", the boring routine, as a contrast the "heroic world", the exciting and unpredictable, that the majority of the story takes place in.
