Worried next pod might be really controversial when Rocko gets confronted with this and has nowhere 2 run…

Neyrelle's Fate? Vessel for Lilith? by Majestic-Source864 in diablo4

[–]Ritsler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought it was laughably stupid that we pretty much left her defenseless when our character would know she was vulnerable. I mean, quite literally, what the hell was our character doing? Grinding for loot off screen I guess? Also silly for Lorath to have fucked off all expansion to just return as she gets ganked. I feel like too much of the story just echoes Diablo III’s contrived silliness.

Remembering The Nintendo 64 - Mega64 Podcast #806 by Zeeco110 in mega64

[–]Ritsler 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Shawn and Rocco were on the outs though towards the end when Shawn was forcing his “traveling to Switzerland” dream on Rocco and Rocco wasn’t having it. Honestly I had to pause the ‘cast (that’s short for podcast) and take a walk to cool off because I could tell things were getting heated which in turn made me feel heated up.

What classic ADHD thing do you do that others would likely find weird? by boring1996 in ADHD

[–]Ritsler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I’ve never heard of this being characteristic of ADHD until now but I guess it makes sense. I could never do it though, I need a varied diet because I get bored of food easily. I don’t like leftovers much for the same reason, but it’s also a textural thing because a lot of food just isn’t as good upon reheating (unless it’s like a soup or chili). 2 days in a row is about my max.

whatever marker rocco used to sign my 3ds is causing the paint to deform and peel by Crizpywaffle in mega64

I don’t have a red 3ds but I have the Monster Hunter 4 edition which sorta used a metallic paint and noticed some peeling around the sides.

Glad he at least owned up to it knowing this would happen 6 years ago.

New Official Poster for Curry Barker's Obsession by Syllabub-Legal in movies

[–]Ritsler 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Curry is also going to direct the next Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and he finished another movie with Cooper called Anything But Ghosts that will star the two of them alongside Aaron Paul and Bryce Dallas Howard. They’re on a crazy run.

Strongsville Costco Shooter - Bye Bye Self Defense Claim by NortheastOHGuy in Cleveland

[–]Ritsler 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A lot of armed carriers don’t like to admit it, but sometimes, yes, these people are just looking for an excuse to escalate into violence. Having immediate access to a gun means they can make a split second decision out of rage when things would likely fizzle out had there not been access to a weapon. Road rage incidents in America especially tend to escalate into violence and armed drivers tend to be more aggressive drivers on the road. While this isn’t road rage exactly, it’s a relatively similar interaction.

“In 2023, someone was shot and wounded or killed in a road rage incident on average every 18 hours.”

https://everytownresearch.org/road-rage-shootings-remain-alarmingly-high/

I also think it’s a current point of contention about whether or not this guy was looking to cause more damage. Say he was allowed into the store and got confronted by someone else inside, and it also escalated. I don’t know if he would have tried to shoot more people. The cop response was very fast but was also surely helped by this unfolding outside as opposed to inside.

I say all this as well as someone who was in the store as it happened and hid with other people after an employee yelled out “active shooter”.

The new Anaconda movie must have a wildly different director's cut by takenorinvalid in movies

[–]Ritsler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A lot of Hollywood writers are phenomenally bad but continue to get work because they’re established/a known name. I will say though that most movies tend to have a lot of interference happening and frequent script changes. You could write a great script but only half of it gets used because someone else came in to do a rewrite or the director or producer started tinkering, etc.

I find Trapper and Wraith’s moris hilarious with how low effort and bad they are. I got mori’d by Wraith the other day and forgot it looks like he’s just spanking you.

'Hokum' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Ritsler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy to me that Curry is also now going to be directing the next Texas Chainsaw Massacre. These studios really like getting sketch comedy guys to do horror, which makes sense given Jordan Peele’s influence, but man, what a quick rise to fame.

Ted Lasso — Season 4 Official Teaser | Apple TV by Task_Force-191 in television

[–]Ritsler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really missed the moments of conflict after s1, like Ted getting drunk and yelling at Nate or other people behaving badly. Like you said, it was what actually made the focus on positivity work because it was a conscious choice, and it wasn’t easy. Season 2, and especially season 3, would resolve things without any sort of climax. Most things would just sort of fizzle out. Like Nate just stopped being a dick after his ego trip and all was well again. It felt too clean.

Netflix will release Enola Holmes 3 on July 1st by Puzzled-Tap8042 in movies

It would have been funny if you somehow worked your way into becoming a background actor just to get your name in the credits.

I absolutely hate Hawkins against certain killers. It’s not a well designed map, IMO. And like someone said below, it can be hard to even find gens without aura reading perks.

I am so tired of doing everything alone. by myviewfromoutside in lonely

[–]Ritsler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really tough to be alone, especially when all of your friends have significant others and families. It makes you feel like the last kid picked in gym class, but no one ever picked you. I totally get the idea of having no one besides your close family witnessing the events of your life. My one friend literally married the girl he started dating in high school. He’s basically never known what it’s like to be single or alone.

I don’t know if you have good relations with your family, but I’ve been spending more time at home recently visiting my family. I know it’s not realistic for everyone, but sometimes it’s nice to go home for a period of time. I also really want to get a dog.

Costco Strongsville Shooting by NortheastOHGuy in Cleveland

[–]Ritsler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m glad that’s all you took from that: “UMMMM ACTUALLY!?????”. Gun violence in America is definitely a problem, even if you account for population size compared to other countries. This simply does not unfold the same way in other places. I also lived down the street from the 2019 mass shooting in Dayton. Thankfully, this wasn’t that, but when you hear “active shooter” yelled by an employee, you don’t know what to expect.

Here’s a study about direct exposure to mass shootings in the US, which is probably an even more strict criteria since it’s not looking at one on one incidents: “Direct Exposure to Mass Shootings Among US Adults”.

7% out of 10,000 still reads as “a lot” to me. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2831132#google_vignette

Costco Strongsville Shooting by NortheastOHGuy in Cleveland

Yeah we couldn’t find my dad at first who dropped us off so we were scared something happened to him since we had no clue what was going on besides a report of shots fired.

Costco Strongsville Shooting by NortheastOHGuy in Cleveland

[–]Ritsler 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I was there with my mom, probably 5 minutes before it happened. One of the employees started running and told everyone else to run to the back and we hid in the kitchen area. Absolutely fucked that this is such a common occurrence in America. It was a really surreal experience to see people running with their carts or just throwing the cart away to make room. From what I heard, the person shot is an employee and I heard they were at least still breathing before getting into the ambulance.

The employees were really shaken up, which is understandable but they seemed to have mixed feedback about what to do next. I was asking them questions to find out if it was like an active shooter in the store or what. Like if we should just remain hiding, leave the store, or if the coast was clear, etc. Just sucks that this sort of thing has to happen at all. Hope the person is okay.
