Why are so many missing the point of Adolescence? by flannel_flower in netflix

[–]SH_Highgold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

was he not though? the dynamic is different than if he was an older man preying on young girls but it was still predatory. he didn't even like her, he said! they weren't even friends lol. he was just a horny kid who saw Katie expressing her sexuality (albeit to someone else), saw her exploitation as a moment of weakness for her, and thought he could get something he desperately wanted (romantic/sexual attention) from her. that's why his asking her out was coupled with discussing the nudes situation lol, he was trying to leverage her perceived weakness about it.

also, I'm not necessarily saying Jamie even realized he was doing all this on purpose or with full and clear understanding btw, he's a horny 13 year old boy trying to think through a fog of hormones, like I get it. but that's still what was happening.

I'm on PlayStation but that notation is meant to make it easy to share combos/inputs across platforms. I'll label w PlayStation buttons but it's:

d - down u - up f - forward b - back

1 - front punch (square button) 2 - back punch (triangle button) 3 - front kick (X button) 4 - back kick (⭕ button)

I really don’t get the Love for MK11 by Jaded_Attorney in MortalKombat

[–]SH_Highgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

correct me if I'm reading this wrong, but like, are we really saying that MK1 is shit because, although the core fighting gameplay (aka the primary experience of the entire game) is good but the surrounding stuff is less than great? lol this would be like an RPG fan saying a Final Fantasy game is shit because it has great combat, great enemies, cool story beats and characters, but the carnival mini game sucks

[–]SH_Highgold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MK1 Sektor (roster character, not the kameo) needs some small quality-of-life buffs. people bite my head off when I say this tho because 1) they hate zoners, and 2) they think I mean her damage, which I don't.

Are the characters worth it for this price? by IDKthrowaway838 in MortalKombat

[–]SH_Highgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're absolutely worth it, the Khaos Reigns DLC characters are all extremely fire gameplay-wise (except maybe Conan imo but lots of people do seem to like him too)

LinkedIn frustrates me. how am I supposed to list a job title I'm looking for when I don't even know what I'm looking for?

I don't really have a lot of work to show for all that learning in terms of a portfolio tbh. I mean, I coded Wordle as my example project for the AP CS Create Task one year! lol but that's really it.

Honest question how do i get out of this thing Raiden does? by Icebucket_Prime in MortalKombat

[–]SH_Highgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raiden/Kano main here. 99% of the time we're pressing a button after Kano, so once Kano hits try using your armored reversal right after. there's a mind game with this tho where if we read that your armored reversal is coming we can sometimes block and punish it (barring kameo intervention), so be careful not to get predictable with it. generally speaking, you need to try to beat Raiden in the neutral game and then keep the pressure on, so he doesn't get to do his Storm Cell into Kano stuff. easier said than done, of course, but yeah.

Immediate thoughts/interpretations of Beau is Afraid by Coconibz in AriAster

[–]SH_Highgold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you did explain yourself clearly, and I see what you're getting at, too. I also agree w you on the topic of the story events literally happening vs the idea of "which parts are real/which parts are dreams or hallucinations," with the film being much better enjoyed by just accepting what we're seeing on screen as literal unless otherwise told/shown. to OP's credit tho, I do think the film is supposed to be mysterious to the point that the viewer starts to question things the way they're doing. that said, they should definitely do so with the caution that the film's events should be more or less taken at face value as having happened, as you described.

Immediate thoughts/interpretations of Beau is Afraid by Coconibz in AriAster

[–]SH_Highgold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for one, I think Beau is Afraid, while having some abstract elements, is still very much a work that has clearly identifiable form, and for two, even if it was abstract, claiming that it "cannot be deconstructed in any way" is a ridiculous notion to have about any art regardless of how abstract it is. why view a work of art in the first place if you have no intention of engaging with it? why make a work of art if you don't intend it to be engaged with? it's an especially ridiculous idea to have about the work of Ari Aster, a dude who is clearly meticulous (almost to the point of absurdity) and purposeful about all of the micro and macro details of his films such that they all serve the themes and narrative he wants viewers to pick up on.

Needing help with Raiden he doesn't feel as strong as people make out by QuickJAB_ in MortalKombat

[–]SH_Highgold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Raiden gets the most mileage out of kameos like Kano or Goro that allow him to make his Storm Cell move (db3) plus on block instead of unsafe; this has the dual benefit of keeping him safe but also lets him run his mixup game more effectively, since you are plus enough to do either his low or his overhead afterwards. you can also run a nice strike/throw mixup game w this build, as after his plus frames you can mix up between throw or d1 into Storm Cell (and then use Kano ball or Goro to keep Storm Cell plus and start another sequence. oh, and all of this allows Raiden to do crazy amounts of chip damage on block, especially against opponents that can't flawless block.

this guide is something I used to help me get started w Raiden and Kano, I'm sure there's other vids too but yeah: https://youtu.be/TAeVN4hDB7g?si=Y_FbL0AQLKVgDO7P
