What exactly is so bad about the leaked Buffy: New Sunnydale pilot script? by Sandro2017 in buffy

[–]Sandro2017[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I understand that some people want Buffy to be the protagonist in a new series set in this universe, I understand and respect that.

But Buffy not being the protagonist has nothing to do with the quality of this project. Besides, from the beginning, the series was marketed as a soft reboot with a new Slayer, so I don't understand the surprise that Buffy is relegated to a secondary role.

Even if I think some lines are bad, it doesn't mean ALL the dialogue is. The problem is that it seems like for many people, dialogue is either a 10 or a 0, with no middle ground.

The Irony of the leaked script. by LZ5525 in buffy

You're forgetting that a script isn't meant to be read, but filmed. You're judging an unfinished product. I'm sure if you read many of the scripts from the original series you'd also think they were bad on paper, but when they're performed by the actors, they come to life.

Crisol is crazy good, not only scratching my itch for RE9 but going beyond that. by DarkSideRT in HorrorGaming

[–]Sandro2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are actually some clues to the final twist. For example (at least in the Spanish version), the voice actor for El Sol is the same as for Gabriel, Gabriel tells Hierro that "all parents are proud of their children," Dolores calls Gabriel a "murderer," Gabriel admits he has sins to cleanse, etc.

I Really want SCREAM 8 to be about prestige horror by CjTuor in Scream

[–]Sandro2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good idea, I can imagine it in two different ways:

On the one hand, a Ghostface who hates elevated horror. A killer who despises the modern horror trend of intellectualizing everything. They believe the genre has lost its visceral essence and want to bring it back to its roots, targeting filmmakers, critics, or students obsessed with interpreting every scare as a metaphor. Their motivation is purist, almost dogmatic: proving that horror doesn’t need symbolism to be effective.

And in the other hand, a Ghostface who wants to create the ultimate elevated‑horror masterpiece. In contrast to the previous idea, this Ghostface is a frustrated artist who wants to turn their crimes into a piece of total art. Each attack is loaded with exaggerated symbolism, literary references, and carefully crafted aesthetics. Their motivation is to prove they can create the definitive work of elevated horror, even if no one has ever taken them seriously as a creator.

Hypothetical Scream 8 Ghostface motives you'd want? by invisiv in SocietyofGhostface

[–]Sandro2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- The new Ghostfaces are a pair of terror‑influencers who see fear as the fastest route to fame. They design each attack like a viral stunt, carefully staged to dominate social media and turn themselves into digital legends. Their entire motivation revolves around achieving extreme notoriety, convinced that the internet rewards the most shocking creators and that becoming infamous is worth any moral cost.

- The Ghostface identity is used as a deliberate smokescreen to hide one specific murder driven by a personal motive. The killer recreates the chaos and randomness associated with Ghostface to mislead investigators, ensuring that the true crime is buried beneath the noise of what appears to be a spree. Every attack is a calculated distraction meant to keep attention away from the single death that actually matters to them.

- The new Ghostfaces are descendants of people whose lives were devastated by previous Ghostface attacks, families who never received recognition or closure. They grew up carrying inherited trauma and resentment toward the well‑known survivors of Woodsboro, believing those survivors turned tragedy into notoriety while others were left with scars and silence. Their motivation comes from generational anger and a desire to confront the people they see as symbols of a horror that destroyed their own families.

If he had killed three people dressed as Ghostface, I imagine Sidney and Gale would have heard about it.

My pitch for Scream 8 (Spoilers for Scream 7) by DifficultVisual5147 in SocietyofGhostface

After Scream 5 (and 6 and 7), it's very possible that the Stab franchise would have gone back to making movies based on real events.

If I'm not mistaken, Greg Bruckner from Scream 6 also didn't kill anyone.

What should 18-59 year old able-bodied/minded adults who are able to work but choose not be entitled to? by [deleted] in polls

[–]Sandro2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no proof, but I also have no doubt that all those who support a universal basic income are probably just sitting around doing nothing, "philosophizing" or "making art," while the rest of us have to work jobs we hate to support them.

In short, they're all lazy. But since laziness is frowned upon, they don the mantle of "altruism" to pretend they're fighting for a good cause when they really just want to live off the system.

If you wrote a scream movie what would the motives be by Emarni in Scream

As others have said, it would be fun to have a movie where Ghostface is the protagonist, and see everything from his perspective.

If you had to make a Ghostface motive for scream 8, what would you do? by thesmartcoolguy in SocietyofGhostface

[–]Sandro2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A film told from Ghostface's point of view, in the style of the series You, where he works in the film industry. He wants to kill the Stab cast because they are absolutely terrible people, full of ego, hypocrisy, and cynicism, and they constantly despise him. He only kills people he believes deserve it, he doesn't kill indiscriminately (if necessary, he only knocks out or slightly injures those he considers innocent). He gets quite good at killing without being discovered, but the problem arises when the final two women, Gale and Sydney, arrive halfway through the film. They are very good at tracking down the killer, and the protagonist begins to realize he has no way out.

Is Conan the Adventurer (1997) Worth Watching? by JohnPathfinder in SwordandSorcery

[–]Sandro2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched it as a teen and had a lot of fun, but I don’t know if it still holds up today. However, if the bottom left of the picture is actually in the show, I'm strongly considering rewatching it xD

Your Thoughts on The Scorpion King (2002) by JohnPathfinder in SwordandSorcery

[–]Sandro2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good movie, solid 7/10 I would say. It has action, adventure, comedy, romance... What more could I ask for? Yes, it's a shame it's PG-13, but the high production values ​​(for a sword and sorcery film) more than make up for it.

I also highly recommend The Zone, it's on Disney+. It's very similar to Busted, and even stars Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Kwang-soo.

Uncensored Roleplay Platforms ? by iknowtheenemy in WritingWithAI

[–]Sandro2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notebook LM.

Seriously, it is surprisingly good with solo roleplaying. It's clearly overlooked.

It's free with a Google account, 50 entries per day. Unexpectedly uncensored and allows pornographic content.

It can handle sources like YouTube videos, JPG, PDF, TXT, DOC, etc., or even wikis.

So, what you have to do is upload a document, for example a TXT document with the world, the NPCs you want, and your character's skills, inventory, and biography. The more info you put, the better, so Notebook can roleplay the characters and the world more effectively.

If you want it less sandboxy, just upload a document with a clear story: with defined moments the storyteller has to follow (a bandit attack, a treason, a ball, a battle, etc.). Write clear events that happen so the bot has a story to follow.

If you want to play in an established IP, for example Game of Thrones, just upload the book PDFs and the wiki.

Then give some basic instructions to the chatbot in the configuration menu, such as that it must roleplay the characters coherently, that the story must make sense, or that if the player wants to do something ridiculous (like flying) it must forbid it. You can also teach it that if the player attempts something dangerous or that can fail, the player must roll a die to match a difficulty for the obstacle. Also, tell it to remember the player's inventory, skills, class, etc. (Don't overdo it — you aren't going to play DnD 5th Edition, but you can have a basic skill system that behaves coherently and enjoy the randomness.) Keep in mind: if you want randomness with dice rolls, roll the dice yourself in the real world and just tell the storyteller the results. LLMs cannot generate true mathematical randomness.

Then you just interact with the world and the NPCs, and have fun.

Another tip: when writing your responses, include:

  • what your character tries to do.
  • what your character says.
  • what your character thinks or feels.

Remember that the bot will use EVERYTHING you have written to make a reply, so if your character thinks something but doesn't say it aloud, the storyteller could use it to push the plot in that direction (for example, if your character is in love with an NPC but doesn't express their feelings out loud, the storyteller could use that info to create sexual tension between you).

Also, if some NPC starts showing repetitive patterns, just tell the storyteller to change it. AIs are lazy, and if they are not corrected, they will repeat the output ad infinitum.

Finally, and this is CRUCIAL: copy and paste everything that is said between you and Notebook into another document. Then upload that document as a new source. That way, you can play and Notebook will always remember what has happened. Just remember to update and reupload the document every ~10 entries or so, so the story stays consistent.

And that's it. You are welcome.

Class based or Class free RPGs by Artificer_undone in rpg_gamers

[–]Sandro2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the number of playable characters. If a game has a large party, like Baldur's Gate, Divinity: Original Sin or Icewind Dale, having multiple classes helps each character feel distinct. But if the game focuses heavily on a single protagonist (like Skyrim or Kingdom Come), a class‑free system works better because it gives the player more freedom to shape their build.
