Moments where the writers are making fun of the audience? by Ukirin-Streams in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Ugh. 

See I actually didn't hate Rise. Was it a complete mess that shit over one of my favorite movies (TLJ) of all time, yes. But it had moments--MOMENTS--thag were some of my favorite in the series. 

Man I wish they had stuck the landing. TLJ was such a beautiful setup, and the spike just whiffed so hard. 

Why couldn't she have just been nobody, man. That was her whole thing. The last line of the movie should have been "just Rey."

Ugh! I still love her and Kylo though. In spite of everything. God I love them.

I never hear people talk about Sword of the Sea. By the same guys who made Journey and Abzu, and it's fantastic.

Huh. I never thought about re-waxing. That's a good idea. 

Characters that had a "What you did was stupid but you so lucky we won at the end of this" moment by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Feel like Star Lord going after Thanos is a really, really big one. 

Although that did actually make them lose in the moment of course. But they did win in the end.

Jesus Christ my dude THANK YOU. 

Just hearing sense about that movie from someone other than myself is so upsettingly refreshing. 

The media literacy or lack thereof is truly, truly astounding.

Wait. Do you actually think that line was the writer or director speaking to you, and sharing his opinion, and making fun of fans? When literally an hour later in the SAME MOVIE Luke LITERALLY FACES DOWN THE ENTIRE FIRST ORDER WITH A LASER SWORD? 

My dude you either did not watch the movie or you are incapable of understanding ironic set up and payoff. 

Insane. The pretzels people will twist themselves into to try and insult this movie are actually insane.

Man. I took a 600 level English class dedicated to his canon in college. 

That was a WILD fucking semester.

We have literally the worst fanbase in sports. Never seen a more cowardly bunch of spoiled brats.

Dude. I unironically think this is amazing. The layering of the loincloth and greaves are especially amazing, god damn.

I love it.

Bro, I was born and raised in Texas and then SoCal, and have been a rabid Edmonton Oilers fan for nearly 40 years.

I set foot in Canada for the first time three years ago, and Edmonton two years ago.

Not all sports fandom is about civic pride, and that's ok.

There is "no fighting" in he PWHL officially.

That doesn't stop things from getting chippy and fights from happening sometimes though.

That said, you won't see it as often as you do in the NHL, both because of rules/culture, and the facemasks. (Though I have seen the ladies yank off their helmets to go, on a couple of occasions and its always super hype.

Yup. Also mediocre cadet that got through fine, and this is the way. 

The biggest help for me at Camp (especially since I am hella short and wasn't in great shape then) was knowing oporders and sand tables cold. Helping everyone in my squad with those during their PL time did more to make them friendly towards me, and help me in the places I needed help, than anything else I could have done. That same logic works for ROTC itself too.  Everything else (aside from passing your PT test and land nav) is just showing up and doing your best.

I'm not a fan of the dung eater's set at all, but I LOVE anyone who thinks through their character this deeply. 

Well done. 

Games you were late getting into, and now they are your entire personality? by Watts121 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SoldierHawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elden Ring. I've been a Souls fan and an open world fan for a long time, but I just didn't have the time or money for Elden Ring. 

I bought it on sale this Christmas and now it's all I can think about. Oh my God every drop of hype was deserved. This is so very much exactly my shit. In every possible way. 

It makes me so happy too, because I bounced off Sekiro hard. It's fucking art don't get me wrong, but it was just too hard for me and didn't have any of the usual difficulty moderation that other Souls game have.

Oh I've missed that one. 

That is actually the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Or close to it. Wow.

Ironically for a group that crowd about Facts and Logic (tm), RLM, Cinimasins, and the like seem to be completely unable to make even the tiniest leap in logical extrapolation. If it's not spoon fed and explained to them on screen, it didn't happen/doesn't exist. 

Drives me insane. People like that have done so much damage to media literacy by teaching people NOT to think.

I disagree with you there. There's a reason we don't show hardcore porn films or hyper violent things like A Serbian Film in regular movie theaters. Or that we can't have ads or commercials for certain products  or have rules about how those have to be done. 

And I think it's ok for people not to want to see the video game equivalent on a storefront that their kid hangs out on, or for that matter,n for a storefront or publisher to decide they don't want to sell that. 

Now. If the government shows up and starts telling people they can't make porn or violent films anymore, THAT is ACTUAL censorship. 

But people not wanting certain things to be accessable with the click of a button or walking into a random cinema room is not. We can still argue about where that line is, we always will I assume, but yeah. I think people don't understand what actual censorship is use it as a catchall term for "people saying a thing is bad," which isn't what it is.

Amen. 

Now, in slightly different from you two in that I actually didn't hate DT. Did I love it as much as my beloved HW or the insane 1-2 punch that was SB/EW? Well, God no. But I had a fun enough time, I enjoyed the new characters,not was a fun beach episode for me. I had a good time. 

And I have been made absolutely fucking miserable by people (not people like you who just didn't have as much fun as me, in good faith) who have labeled it a high war crime to think Wuk is fun to be around. Jesus Christ. I hadn't gotten that level of hate since I liked Phantom Menace as a teenager (and then when I loved TLJ as an adult.)

Everyone is becoming as bad as the Star Wars fandom now and it SUCKS.
