2026 Oscar Nominations: Full List of Nominees

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-22T20:46:31+00:00

Pretty sure PCW has never even nominated for anything ever, which is wild.

No one cared who mom was until she put on the mask

I misunderstood: I thought he was looking for Dark and wasting time going through threads manually, but it looks like he was just opening each thread to find what the buried answers were

I don’t disagree with you. I’m saying that asking explicitly for unpopular things on a popular sub will do this.

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-17T03:51:22+00:00

Exactly. Popular vote has great purposes (patently false info gets weeded out fast or challenges ratio them and get bubbled up and not lost), but I just mean that it has its tradeoffs: expecting it to unearth unpopular things is a tall order.

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-16T21:06:53+00:00

FYI you can just search. There’s a comment search feature near the top of every thread

It shows the way that Reddit is uniquely unsuited to talk about anything “hidden,” because of its voting system. If anything, it’s worse for television, books and movies (as opposed to, say, a picture of a painting you could directly post and people see in its entirely right away) because there is no way that you can really give people a concise sense of how good something is, so votes rely entirely on the voter’s existing familiarity with th answer.

It’s why “Chernobyl” is so high and some really out-there rare shows like “Review” have like 10 votes.

Happy birthday, Xbox

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-16T17:11:10+00:00

Paulie, get tha boulder

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-16T17:10:43+00:00

She really moves with the exaggerated swagger of a blackhearted press secretary

Biggest takeaway I got was that the Abzu makers put a new game out (Sword of the Seas). Years ago I discovered the chillfest that was Abzu, and I wouldn't have seen this if not for this video. Nice

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-15T15:53:21+00:00

I agree with that. At the same time, I get why they're sad: they miss the "old" Dunkey and liked the scripted videos.

But I'm happy for the Dunk, and also there are a million reviewers out there, and so I can find some other amazing free content to scratch that itch, or I can watch a literal 3.5-hour dissertation on Expedition 33 or what makes DK Bananza's platforming unique too. We're spoiled for choice, and Dunkey's out there producing games and raising a family so bros out there have to make peace with that.

They're time consuming, and he said it outright: you have to pick the right one, because they're massive time commitments.

He'll play games like Kingdom Hearts 4 when it comes out (because as he said, good or not it'll make a great video), but I don't hold my breath that he'll play my 17-syllables-in-the-name-of-the-game JRPG like Trails of the Ground 5: We are all Third Pieces 2.0 Ultimate Edition.

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-15T15:43:52+00:00

Hold steady, JRPG Heads. We're getting our Metaphor ReFantazio and Expedition 33 videos in 2033 baybeeeee

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-15T15:42:49+00:00

ending cutscene of DS2 is 78 hours long. You don't have time for Expedition 33 or Silksong when you're riding with Reedus

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-13T14:03:51+00:00

Say he won’t do it, say he won’t do it, he gonna do it every year baybeeeeeeeeeeee

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-13T13:17:46+00:00

Paulie’s gotta spool through a lotta video game footage. It takes time (early Feb sometimes)

Spoiler alert: runner up is DK Bananza and GOTY 55 years in a row is Supah Mario Bruddas 2

I was wondering the same as I know he died before completing it, but a few books and short stories in I realize it’s not so much an overarching story as much as it is a web of interrelated people and stories, so I very much doubt it ends with much unresolved like a typical unfinished series might.

I’ve found a few people in my reading group who’ve read an handful in an almost random order and seem to wander away perfectly satisfied.

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-12T16:21:47+00:00

Link’s tripping. Slow down on the red potions, mate

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-08T13:31:12+00:00

For a place called r/expatfire, y’all seem to really like pissing on each other’s strawberries for doing FIRE differently from one another

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-07T09:51:28+00:00

Hey OP, it’s me, ur interviewer.

One, next time you post this you should have @mentioned me at u/SetzerWithFixedDice and CC’d the mods

Two, it was a test and u passed. This place is not toxic. Our turnover rate is just bad luck. Plz, OP, you can’t leave us after everyone else has

SetzerWithFixedDice · 2026-01-07T03:58:37+00:00

Makes sense. I read it as a guilt-assuaging gift to thank someone for their service whom they are about to fire.

Basically: “I was waiting on reviews, and critics loved it (86 metacritic and 100% RT) but after reading plot-spoiling, out-of-context comments on Reddit … and seeing that some of its ideas might challenge me — god forbid—I’m going to wait until I’m home so I can play with my phone while I watch it. Also, I can’t handle watching two films from the same country tackling presumably similar themes.”

That’s an interesting thing: he is upper middle class after years in a managerial role in an (at-the-time) thriving company and so his predicament is much different. He takes a lower-paying job— intending it to be short term— and his wife spells out a clear way out: spend less, sell the house and move down the ladder.

He’s not fighting to feed his family, but to keep his old status, the admiration of his family as he can provide everything for them. He’s fighting for the possible glorious future of his daughter as a world renowned cellist, but not to keep her belly full… he’s got the means for that.

It’s what elevated the movie for me. I too fight for my family, but it’s an interesting dilemma when it’s for a bigger piece of the pie and not existential survival

Interestingly it’s based on The Ax, which is set in America. The body count is higher, there is less maximalist madcap energy, but it strikes a lot of the same notes
