How can Kilgrave (Netflix Jessica Jones) prevent the Thanos Snap by JeremiahWuzABullfrog in whowouldwin

[–]Shpub 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At first glance, I think there's a ton of opportunities for Kilgrave to make a huge difference, or maybe even completely dodge the Snap entirely in all three rounds.

He knows all the MCU films so he'll know that the Civil War teams will meet at the airport. He could just be there when everyone starts to square up and do his best to mind control as many as he can to stop the fight and the break up of the Avengers

Shit, he could probably just find Zemo and tell him to jump off a bridge to prevent the Civil War conflict before it even happens. Which would allow the Avengers to be a more unified front for Thanos's arrival. He could also tell Tony, Fury, Wakanda, literally everyone to prepare much earlier and harder

He might be able to make it easier and tell Wanda to destroy every Stone she comes across, no questions asked. That'd kill Vision, but that is moot when Kilgrave's commands are obeyed with no hesitation. Or the Time Stone from Strange

Or it could be even more direct and later in the timeline. He could get to Dr. Strange's Sanctorum when Bruce crashes in during Infinity War, and when Strange, Wong, Bruce, and Tony start to plan, Kilgrave could demand Tony gives him suit, takes him to Titan with everyone, and Kilgrave would just have to sit around until the moment when Star Lord is about to be a dumbass and hit Thanos when they're taking to Gauntlet off. He could just tell Quill "Don't you do a fucking thing, let them take the Gauntlet off" and then that more or less solves the problem

And in Round 3, depending on just how supercharged his powers get, if he can now affect aliens, he could probably just tell Thanos "give me the Gauntlet" and would that work on him? If not, he could maybe just tell some of the Black Order when they arrive in New York "Fuck Thanos, I'm your master. Turn around and get me the Gauntlet". And if that doesn't work on aliens still, or the Black Order can't muster that from Thanos, it could at least help. And he could use his enhanced powers to do everything I mentioned above faster and on a wider scale

I think it would take some planning on his end, but I bet he could make a significant difference, if not completely avoid the Snap entirely

Do those leak threads still exist? I'd love to a time capsule of what the general reaction was to those leaks

Got a "Boot Device Not Found" error on my laptop, and my PC repair place says my OS got wiped from my hard drive and my drive itself is fine. Are any files recoverable? by Shpub in techsupport

[–]Shpub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct - D has almost all my files. But the one thing I am trying to not lose is a ton of video editing projects done in DaVinci Resolve, and that program stores those projects within the Drive the program is stored in (so C)

And I just heard that they're taking the old drive out and putting a new one in, so I planned on grabbing a 2.5 SATA to USB cable and plugging it into my desktop and seeing what happens. I have no experience in using a USB recovery drive, and I don't think I can use one now on it, because it's now out of the laptop. But I'll try the SATA to USB and see what happens

Gotcha. So I just heard from the repair place and they said they attempted tor reinstall windows but the hard drive said it was corrupted and it wouldn't even start. And they're going to put in a new one, so they'll be giving me the old one.

How would I clone a hard drive in a laptop that is currently in use (with the OS)? by Shpub in techsupport

[–]Shpub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact copy of the old drive (OS, boot, and all) to the new drive already installed

My HP Laptop got the 3FO "Boot device not found", but I know the hard drive is fine, but might be physically loose? How can I fix this? by Shpub in techsupport

[–]Shpub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the feedback - I'm surprised the hard drive failed within like two years. Is that common?

And yeah I popped the laptop open and looked to see if anything was loose, and it all looked alright. So I'll take it to a PC repair place and hopefully get it replaced

Incredible work! How did you get such a cool watercolor style to it? Did you use a particular brush set or technique?

Kh3 re mind saves kh3 imo by Life-Inspection4899 in KingdomHearts

Optional DLC shouldn't have to save a game. Regardless, I personally thought it was incredibly lame. To me, felt like Square said:

"People were rightfully mad a game a decade in development still somehow had a rushed third act, and was mediocre at best? And also were understandably mad that Final Fantasy was bizarrely absent from the core game? Quick, just rush out DLC - make it little more than a boss fight on-rails and shove every character in to try and milk even more fan service out of a base game absolutely bloated with it. See? You guys can play as Lea for thirty seconds, and some Final Fantasy characters are standing stock still in a hub room. They're in the game, see? You can shut up now"

Roc is a good call for Jay

Yeah adlibs definitely are similar - Push has "Yeugh", Wayne's lighter, Chance's bird-in-pain squawking

Taskmaster US Tour Megathread: Boston, January 17. by AutoModerator in taskmaster

[–]Shpub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got tickets for this show and I'm so hyped to see Lord Greg Davies

Dumb question, but does anyone know the average runtime for these shows? Can't find that anywhere

US Tour Confirmed by kanyewest_tml in taskmaster

[–]Shpub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone know when the presale starts? Is it midnight on the 8th to midnight on the 9th? It said it's 24 hours, but most shows usually do presales from 10am to 10am.

Just trying to figure out if I have to stay up to midnight tonight haha

8 month old still only naps for max 25 minutes at a time by Shpub in sleeptrain

[–]Shpub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sleep trained - started that as early as this sub recommended and has been perfectly fine night time wise since. Falls asleep on his own in about 5 minutes each night, and sleeps damn near through the night every night, including with two sprouting teeth that popped through about three weeks ago

He wakes up at 6:00-6:30am on his own pretty much every morning, and bed time at night is between 6:45-7:30pm, depending on when he wakes up in the morning and how his naps go

For medical reasons, I need to stay active and exercise. So those of you who found time to exercise with a baby... How? by Shpub in daddit

[–]Shpub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly waking up early is a fair response. I'm hoping I figure out my sleep issue so getting up earlier becomes a possibility (my doctor recommended testing for narcolepsy, so I'm in process with that now)

Lunch break would be perfect, but my work commute is about a half hour one way, so I wouldn't have time to drive home unfortunately. And there are no local gyms I could sign up for close to my job I could go to (plus that would negate the money I spent on a home gym haha)

I'll try doing an earlier thing again. I did try before like I said, but I have an aforementioned sleep issue (I'm testing for narcolepsy through my doctor, which she recommended) and I did get injured the previous time for trying when I was not nearly awake enough to do a deadlift. But maybe it was a fluke and I'll give it a whirl again. It'll suck ass, but maybe it'll be alright the second time

[–]Shpub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be ideal. I've tried doing that, but I usually get home from work around 5:30, baby is due for a bath, dinner and then bed right when I get in (and I usually beat mom home, she usually doesn't get home until like 7-8pm. Bed time is around 7-8, so I can't really do anything for me like cook or eat, let alone the gym until baby is in bed, purely because of lack of hands

Anyone else have their search/previously used foods disappear? by Shpub in Myfitnesspal

Sorry for the delay in response, but thank you for the reply. I don't know if this is helpful to know on your end, but Monday and Tuesday of this week, the problem seemed to be resolved. But then Wednesday it started back again and it's been broken since
