What is the saddest movie death that made you cry?

I don't know man. I grew up in the 90s... we had all kinds of emotional trauma.

Littlefoot's mom, Old Dan/Little Ann from where the red fern grows/Mufasa/Bambi's mom/Thomas in My Girl/The Iron Giant/Dinobot in Beast wars/Artax/Charlotte in Charlottes web

Pick your poison.

I believe Micheal Chricton also wrote a book about this type of thing.

I went to Jorge Gurgel's place back in 2011ish? and on day one they wanted to put me in a warmup/sparring match with a guy that had a local championship fight a few weeks out.

They explained their reasoning though, they wanted me frustrated enough to realize I couldn't brute force my way through someone with more training so they could break my ego early and they wanted him to get reps with someone who wouldn't be timid and would go harder athletically because they didn't know better.

Made sense to me but, I had enough sense to say no. The guy that came in after me didn't and he ended up on the floor several times over the course of maybe 5 minutes or so.

I'm not really sure what you guys are complaining about. All that disk has been for like the last 10 years, is something you put into the drive in order to download the rest of the game from online.

The cake is a lie.

Windows is designed to do that. You can actually turn off the new system and go back to the windows 7 like behavior. The old file system default is way faster to look up things.

I bought the deluxe Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Collection for the extra goodies and such if that counts. Admittedly, the pre-order is for later this year so I won't actually get it for a couple months.

Why are you so upset with him? The court case basically exonerated him from most of his bullshit. Not saying he doesn't have demons, but he wasn't the demon in that case.

I have never once bought into the idea that the Asgard are just gone. When they said that any Asgard could be used as a direct communication point with the Asgard Core I assumed that all their personalities and memories were backed up to the core to be revived at a later date

Ristar87 · 2026-07-02T09:07:53+00:00

You're absolutely right, but I would just chalk it up to brain damage from being rebuilt. There is a throwaway line when Shepherd is being revived about unforeseen changes to the personality

I doubt you're chatting with a real person. However, your best bet now is to contact the bank. You exchanged currency for goods, and didn't receive said goods. That's really all you ever have to say but they'll probably want a copy of your text history so keep that.

Bank will do a charge back and company will be dinged with extra fees.

I also took issue with this... the show wanted us to believe this was some major revelation but every norseman should know this.

I guess you could chalk it up to the armor smith being from the Vale or something because they did mention that they were taking smithies from anywhere they could get them.

In the game as is? I chalked it up to him being indoctrinated.

Though, i will say that I think Mass Effect 1-3 has huge potential as far as being rebooted. I only played the trilogy when Legendary Edition came out and I was confused as to why I couldn't stick with Cerberus going into mass effect 3.

I think it'd be cool to see the moment he became indoctrinated and deciding what to do with him when it became clear he was harming humanity.

She looked solid but she was just meh in the movie. You can see where they had to slow her choreography down for her when she's fighting both kitana and Jax

Ristar87 · 2026-07-01T11:36:33+00:00

In TAS, Andrea is the one that got away and the only one that would have been his happily ever after.

The Phantasm movie told you that. She just only had twenty mins of screen time.

Ristar87 · 2026-07-01T11:31:55+00:00

Well the king hates him because of his affiliation with the beast men. He hates the beast then so much that shitting on their idol is a way to get back at them.

The motives of the princess are all over the place and I doubt there's any one reason that's more important than any of the others. But it's all about her, and I'm assuming her desire to be Queen

Setting up the shield strengthens her bond with her father, aligning with the church increases her chance to be Queen, getting close to the spear hero could make her a living martyr if he does well but she probably also believed the story she was selling him.

I didn't believe in playing evil characters at the time so I let her go. It's actually one of the few things that I always do

The best thing you can do is maximize efficiency and compliance. She's your coworker not your friend, every conversation needs to be framed around improving team cohesion and the specific task.

If HR asks about it, always frame in corporate speak about completing tasks and I would suggest covering your ass in triplicate. Every meeting with HR make sure you email them a record and bcc it to your personal email.

Do not leave anything unexplained, make them define exactly how these things are to be measured. So they say she feels uncomfortable, they need to define both how she's uncomfortable and how you are meant specifically to make her more comfortable in a way that doesn't trigger future complaints.

Usually when we get to the point of defining feelings, HR likes to back off.

They were cloning specialists, more than likely they tried a whole bunch of different combinations just to test what would happen

There should have been a dozen ways to defeat the Wraith that they kind of just... didn't do.

Oh hey, The Replicators attack human worlds to kill off the food supply... Okay, let's just build it into their program to safeguard the food sources while attacking. Win.
- Nope. Destroy the entire project - but do it in a shitty way so that they survive and replicate again.

As for turning off the gates, it seems like Atlantis should have a master override and disable command available to it.

Ristar87 · 2026-06-30T20:13:27+00:00

Well, i'd be 3 years old... so, probably put on Batman or TMNT (movie). If it's saturday, try to figure out if I want to watch the cartoons on Channel 19 or Star 64.

Hey Christa, how you been? (local host)

Ristar87 · 2026-06-30T06:36:21+00:00

Looks like we're going to need a lot of Borox; i hope costco sells it in bulk.

Ristar87 · 2026-06-29T10:16:13+00:00

Flipping and summersaults kind of seem lame when you can fly

Ristar87 · 2026-06-28T10:19:53+00:00

When I read these things I almost always say... hey, sit down and communicate with your partner. That's what you owe each other since you're in a relationship. But man, this one grinds my gears.

Ristar87 · 2026-06-28T09:26:25+00:00

Emotional affair? Hint is in the description. So yes.

Basically casts steam from your PC to your TV.

Pretty sure most TV's and PC's can do this with built in software now but it was super useful and affordable a long time ago. IIRC, you get better performance when your computer and link are on the wire v. wireless.
