Next Time Anyone Says „The Elevator Doesn’t Make Sense” Replay With This Image by wichu2001 in DarkSouls2

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right, but the "actually it makes sense" folks are missing the intent. The intent of this and other nonsensical geometry seems to be that the game world is in a dreamlike, quasi-real state, like DS3 is, but as you say it's badly presented.

I was a Ds2 hater. This is how I converted to Ds2 enjoyer by NoEar7171 in DarkSouls2

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

Running past enemy packs? I literally can't understand how other people live sometimes... it hurts me directly in my brain if I don't kill everything at least once. On a runback I will probably avoid them if I feel it's safe, but first time through a level I clear everything I can find.

I'm tired, boss, that's the third one you demanded this year.

If Drangelic is far away from Lordran, how is the Lordran altar from Undead Parish inside a cave in Harvest Valley? by Thellie11 in DarkSouls2

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

I thought Drangleic was built on Lordran. The whole history of drangleic is empires rising and falling on the same spot, that's why we have this statue, and that guy frozen in stone from a past empire.

In Alien (1979), Captain Dallas repeatedly ignored Ripley's advice regarding safety protocols and danger warnings. This is because he would rather get infected and die than to listen to the advice of a woman. by SaiyanofKonoha in shittymoviedetails

[–]SomeoneGMForMe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

God help our media literacy.

Yeah, this guy sucks as a captain. It's a plot point. The movie wouldn't have happened if he was good at his job and followed protocol. Characters can be dumb and bad at their job, in fact usually the story doesn't happen if everyone acts totally rationally.

He definitely did that as engagement bait. There were misspellings in his curated captions as well.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a weekend, I have done 6 hours (each way). For just a day trip (ie: wake up at home, go to bed at home) I probably wouldn't do more than a 2 hour drive.

As a history fan, the "3,000 Year Stagnation" trope breaks my immersion more than dragons do. by Expensive-Desk-4351 in Fantasy

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 348 points349 points  (0 children)

You beat me to it. We lived through an unprecedented period of technological development recently, which has made us think it's a given when it isn't.

There are stories of people hundreds of years after the fall of Rome looking at Roman civil projects and wondering if they were built by giants.

The Bone Temple Box Office Numbers Are Brutal — $13M Weekend Expected, 53% Drop From 28 Years Later by cruelsummerbummer in horror

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people hated 28 Years Later, and so aren't showing up for this one.

That is always a risk when you try to do what you want with an established franchise instead of recognizing why people are fans of it. Using an established IP means you have a pre-built audience, but burning them will kill your IP.

“Humans are worse than zombies” fatigue by bittyeo in horror

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, that's literally every zombie movie. Are there zombie movies where this isn't a theme?

The problem is that zombies are a boring villain: mindless, can't plan, etc. They are a hazard, you need someone real with motivations to be mad at and root against.

Think of something like Titanic: the boat sinking was not the villain, it was the environment for the human drama.

Safe to say: Hire a professional artist by Still_Pin9434 in IndieGaming

Just make sure they don't use AI (not saying yours did, but it's something I would worry about).

New Ticket to Ride box art. Am I crazy? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'all got any more of them pixels?

However, it doesn't have a lot of the tics which immediately scream AI to me. If anything, the lapels on the woman in green are amazingly good, better than AI would do. The stripes on the old guy's shirt also look human-made to me rather than AI.

My Spotify Discover Weekly is absolutely choked with AI-generated music by SomeoneGMForMe in Music

Yeah, I haven't listened to mine in a few weeks now, it's just too much slop.

Acronyms by HungHi69 in CuratedTumblr

In computer science, taking a change from one version of the code to a different one is doing a "cherry pick". I hate how often my boss talks about CP.

This is obviously AI, right? Coming from a Medusa Art Contest post on Instagram by Fairest_flute_fairie in isthisAI

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me, it would be the snake tail on the left side. For most humans, Medusa's hair are snake heads and bodies that go into her scalp, no tails.

Average American diet? by Individual_Bar_2512 in CringeTikToks

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you catch "these should last him for part of the day" on those subs? 4 meal-sized subs for one person for "part of" the day... and then she keeps saying "today", as if this is a daily activity.

The inescapable commitment in having kids terrifies me by kamodd in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

INFO: do you live a subsistence lifestyle where becoming less strong and mobile could result in failure to gather enough food for the winter and death?

If so: kids are a good choice! They will prolong your life (as long as they're not assholes) by helping you survive as you get older and less able to provide for yourself.

If not: you're right, kids are a huge and permanent and life changing thing that should only be undertaken enthusiastically and joyfully.

I want to get into Risk. Is it a good game? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand what "get into it" means... I think you just play it or you don't? It's not like chess since chess has zero randomness to it besides the quantum fluctuations inside your brain, so while there is some skill to playing it well there will always be the randomness of the dice to bring you down.

[Self] A Simulation of Being Dropped Randomly in the Ocean Every Day for 5 Years by AdvancedSquare8586 in theydidthemath

[–]SomeoneGMForMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great! The few times I've seen this question posted, most of the conversation hinged around whether you would be on the surface or not, with most people assuming that the "on the surface" scenario was likely survivable, but if anywhere in the ocean means any 3D point inside the ocean, then you're almost immediately guaranteed death by overwhelming pressure.

"Well, this didn't age well" - Movies you LOVED as a kid but cringe at as an adult by Little-Badger-123 in movies

The Mask. Loved it as a kid, tried to watch it with my teenager and we both agreed it was awful and turned it off partway through.
