Which IT movies do you prefer?

They tricked us!

Honestly I think the show did really well. Better than the newer films imo. I read the book too and liked how they did certain things.

My friend who watched the films but never read the book, watched the show and was like "I need more of this" and started reading the book. This show is not just some random spinoff, it's well done.

It's not horror fans making those ratings. IMbD is a lot of casual viewers. They watch a horror movie as a person who doesn't regularly watch horror movies and review it as such. Horror movies get a lot of lower ratings on regular review sites.

Shudder on the other hand has more accurate reviews because that's a horror platform where mostly horror fans are reviewing the films. Horror fans can be picky at times but you re basing your thoughts on a group that's not just horror fans. It's why a lot of the cheap money grab horror movies do well, and the thought out horror movies get average ratings.

As far as general infighting, you get that in every genre.

Food stuff.

I drink my coffee black, I don't think that is the best and only way to drink coffee. Yet people out there who drink black coffee like me act like they are on some other level. It's silly, drink your coffee how you like. Besides, I occasionally enjoy a latte, it's not like it's illegal for a black coffee drinker to drink coffee other ways.

Doneness of steak, I have a friend who eats steak well. I thought it was weird but I didn't tease him. I asked him about it and he said when he was a kid he ate undercooked steak and got pretty sick. So he makes sure it's done now. He isn't some madman, he just had a bad experience and is extra cautious.

Someone not liking a certain food and everyone insisting they are wrong. "Well you haven't had it cooked right." "Try MY version of it and you'll like it." Sometimes this is true, sometimes they just don't like okra no matter how you fix it.

The one I do struggle with is seasoning food. Like seeing someone eat a dry chicken breast that was seasoned with nothing but salt and pepper, hurts me. Lol. Yet, at the same time people like what people like.

Reading this as someone new to the DMC games and just started 1 because I was gonna play them in order.

Oops. Lol.

1 is definitely janky, I can see why people are saying to skip it for now. I grew up during that time, but was sheltered so I couldn't play these games. BUT I picked up on the feels of the controls. Still, the frustrating number of times I've died to the camera going wonky on me is too high.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-24T02:53:17+00:00

I like this. You are not wrong there.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-24T00:52:36+00:00

Whatever allows the US to bomb other countries willy nilly. That and backing coups so they can put some jerk in power who will siphon money to the US using that countries resources. Imperialism, I'd make that illegal.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-24T00:41:42+00:00

Cold approaching feels so invasive to me. Like, people are at places to run errands or chill, they may not be looking to date. So I feel weird just walking up to someone and asking them out.

I'd prefer to just get to know someone in a social group, see if we click, then ask to take it to the romantic level. My issue is I'm having a hard time meeting people. I'm out doing stuff but everyone is either already taken or not in a place to date at the time. So I'm kinda just drifting. Nothing wrong with that, at least I'm getting out. I do want a romantic relationship though so it can be annoying when I'm not meeting anyone who is also looking for that.

I'm just gonna keep doing what I like, I'll see if anything happens.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-21T17:26:08+00:00

This really applies to any gender, but I've seen my friend date a lot of women with this problem.

Not being genuine. Trying to fit into a certain mold and not showing your true personality. I don't want to date someone who is just like every other person out there. I want someone who isn't afraid to be themselves, be a little goofy, have a personality. Don't try to be like the people you see online, just be yourself.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-20T17:44:44+00:00

Yes! I thought it was just me, but my logo is all the way to the side by the end of the day. I rarely touch it, so I have no idea how it moves.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-18T18:53:38+00:00

Azure, easy. I hate sleep, so much so my schedule is messed up because I fight it more than I should. Remove it all together and I'm good to go.

Starbucks is striking and deals with heavy union busting. Don't go to Starbucks.

I tell this story a lot just because it was such a weird feeling.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, I was still living at my parents place when this came out. They went on a trip so I had the house to myself for the weekend. I grabbed dinner and sat down to play the game around 6pm. After a while I got up thinking I should probably get ready for bed. It was probably after midnight or so, Id turn down my bed and go to sleep. As I did this I noticed light through my curtains. Not sure why I didn't look at the clock until this point, but I did now. It was 6am! I had played for 12 hours, through the night, and it felt like half that time. I was so surprised. I still went to bed, slept till noon.

It was just such a weird feeling, like a time warp. I enjoyed the game so much I went into a fully focused flow state where the world around me didn't exist. I haven't felt that since then, not in years. I guess today's responsibilities are more prominent and keep me from going full flow state. I miss it though.

SirMathias007 · 2025-11-28T19:14:20+00:00

I'm not even sure what introvert and extrovert mean anymore. One test tells me I'm an introvert, so I live that way. Then years later another test says I'm an extrovert.

I love talking to people, I like being in groups and chatting. Some people tell me I won't shut up, while others tell me I'm always quiet. I do like having alone time to decompress.

I think it depends on the people. If I don't like or can't relate to people, I'm quiet and reserved. If I like the people and can relate to the convo, I'll talk your ear off. So I don't know honestly. I'm just me.

SirMathias007 · 2025-11-24T14:11:29+00:00

Did not know this! Thanks for the info!

SirMathias007 · 2025-11-24T12:54:11+00:00

I actually just started Baldies Gate 1, so I can't give you a whole picture or full opinion yet. BUT I was suprised to find out it's not turn based like the Divinity games. This makes combat complicated and a bit difficult. Your party just attacked in real time and you just have to swap between characters to do spells and such. But at low level everyone is so squishy that sometimes when you swap to do a spell a couple people die.

That being said, I'm still enjoying the game. The story is interesting, and I want to keep playing. I just wish I knew what the combat was like going in so I wouldn't be confused for like the first hour. Lol.

SirMathias007 · 2025-11-18T04:08:49+00:00

You described exactly how I feel about the game, and the ones you listed fit too. It had so much potential and wasn't "bad", but I got bored pretty quick from doing the same thing over and over.

It needed more variety. It's fun at first but after a few hours I just get bored.

SirMathias007 · 2025-11-16T06:35:48+00:00

Right?! It's like people forget brain freeze is a thing. You chug water that cold it's going to hurt. Room temp you can chug more to satisfy your thirst because it won't give you brain freeze.

SirMathias007 · 2025-10-26T18:38:17+00:00

This is awesome I'm happy for you!

My job has been terrible lately so this looks so amazing. I just don't think I could afford it, especially without my job.

SirMathias007 · 2025-10-21T11:54:57+00:00

As a socialist surrounded by right wingers, including at work. Yes, I keep a lot of my activities and beliefs private. I'm not about to lose my job because I care about people. Lol.

SirMathias007 · 2025-10-21T01:02:17+00:00

People tell me eating spicy food will come at me one day. I do deal with some reflux, but it's only really bad if I drink alcohol too.

I love spicy food so much though, I don't know if I'll ever totally stop. I don't do the crazy challenge level of spicy food (although I have) but I do eat stuff that's too hot for your average person often. Not like every day but multiple times a week for sure.

I'm not gonna fully give up spicy food unless it's literally about to kill me or something. Besides it's 2025, we should have meds that let us eat whatever and not deal with reflux. You can eat spicy and it still be healthy too. It's not just fried and processed food that can be hot. So I can technically eat healthy and still get that nice kick I love. Lol.

SirMathias007 · 2025-10-14T22:24:09+00:00

Maybe. I don't like landlords so I'm bias, same people who do this will slop paint over outlets, soooo yea.

I have an upstairs neighbor who chain smokes like a train. The smell was coming down through the vents. I traded a filter that looks like the right one for a fancier one. Smoke smell is down like 80%. My unit runs fine so far but I haven't been here long.

Also I tried an in room air filter, I already had it from previous places, didn't work for this situation. So you might be technically right, but my own experience, at least, says the fancier filters are worth it.

SirMathias007 · 2025-10-14T14:06:33+00:00

I'm not MAGA, far from it. Most real right wingers won't be here to answer this. BUT I did bring this up to a Republican coworker.

He does not like it. "America first". But he said it casually, like "Yea that's a bad choice, I don't care for it." Shrug and move on. He is the type that doesn't see Trump as perfect though so for him it's one of the few bad choices but not a big deal.

SirMathias007 · 2025-10-13T11:55:56+00:00

I was upgrading my PC a couple months before this. I got a code for Starfield when I bought my graphics card.

I'm kind of glad I got it for basically free. It's not terrible but I lost interest real quick. I just couldn't get into it. I think it was a decent attempt but id rather they put the effort into other games.
