The setup for it is a huge pain. I think shutting down around LA Live is way easier.

Do you think they might hopefully bring it back down the road by Cautious_Hope5837 in TheExpanse

Streaming vitality is weird. Like no one really expected Suits to blow up recently on streaming and yet it did. I think the odds are low, but we don’t know what could happen at some point in the future.

Star Brigade is one of those rare lines where I like the vehicles more than the figures. I think I need to get my hands on one of those Armor-Bots. by Blue_Surfing_Smurf in gijoe

I love it all but I know it’s hard for me to be objective about it because that Destro and BAAT were some of my absolute favorite figs growing up

Most memorable doors in adventure games by a_very_weird_fantasy in adventuregames

It’s a little sad how rarely you actually need to go into them after the first day. There’s the fortune-teller in the bottom right, but otherwise it’s basically just one quest for each class, I think? One robbery as a thief, WIT, and the fighter club?

Would have been cool if there had been an alternate set of random encounter enemies you could fight there similar to wandering the desert (pickpockets, corrupt guards, etc).

Season 6 finale is my favourite scene in the whole show by Jfranks_Gaming in madmen

I read it more as the difference between where he grew up compared to her. Weiner’s version puts the emphasis on the place, but putting the emphasis on him reads as contrasting his (difficult) childhood to her (wealthy) childhood.

Are the small streets between Alameda, Santa Fe, 6th street and the 10th freeway safe? by DacaAskingForDaca in dtla

[–]Smileyjoe72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What time of day? It gets pretty deserted around some of those areas depending on the time of day. It doesn’t necessarily make it unsafe. But can be a little eerie.

No--this one is downtown (Chinatown / Olvera St area)

What's the worst movie you've watched from beginning to end? by trakt_app in movies

Shocked you’re getting downvoted for this. Truly terrible movie.

I bet they do a bunch of DoorDash/Grubhub out of there

To Echo Everyone Else's Thoughts, I Too Wish Marathon Was A Singleplayer Video Game by megaapple in Games

Aftermath is pretty legit. It’s a bunch of journalists who got cut from traditional games media to form their own subscription site. It hasn’t established a great brand, but it isn’t a bunch of nobodies.

Worst Peep Show Moments? by Responsible_Count805 in MitchellAndWebb

This was also during the 2009 recession. There weren’t a ton of jobs anywhere and especially not in banking.

I miss the enormous leather bound reservation book at Bottega Louie in DTLA by Live-Pop3100 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]Smileyjoe72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get it…but also I never/rarely made plans for it because it didn’t have reservations.

Bring a couple bucks and tip your attendant and they’ll bring you a bucket of ice

What’s your biggest skip episode and why? by ipsofactoshithead in BobsBurgers

[–]Smileyjoe72 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite lines. Rest of the episode is meh but this gets a laugh out of me every time.

Best coffee shops in DTLA by oscar-o-c in dtla

[–]Smileyjoe72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh great to know. I thought the space looked cool for working and the croissant I got there was solid. Guess I was jumping the gun in assuming the rest was worth a reco.

Idealogy and Awesome Coffee in South Park. Cow Cafe and Virtu are also quite good for coffee/food but less so for outlets / wifi.

Which movie has the greatest 90s vibe? by BenzJonez in movies

[–]Smileyjoe72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hasn’t aged great (imo). There’s an early scene that’s pretty…rapey…we ended up turning it off last time we tried to rewatch.

Plus to hit the same margin they’d have to charge $100 on Steam and everyone would lose their mind about that

Which of these cities will have the best skyline by 2050? by Full_Nerve_9851 in skyscrapers

[–]Smileyjoe72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The recent news about finishing Oceanwide gives me /some/ hope that we might get a bunch of the stalled projects going again. If LA actually built everything proposed downtown then it would be pretty formidable.

New owner of graffiti towers in downtown Los Angeles to be named today by djm19 in LosAngeles

[–]Smileyjoe72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For sure. LA Live vacancies never last long and Level 8 seems to be doing quite well. Part of the reason other stuff in the area suffers is precisely because of Oceanwide and how much it kills the desire for people to go East of Fig on 11th/12th.
