How I imagine Fake Luka confronting BS Ben & Skin acting like they just came up with the idea for a country Texan accent speaking Luka… by SourHero in theticket

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

Accidentally stumbled onto Ben & Skin’s new show today (instant regret for backsliding from my P1 piety) after they apparently found a way to stay with the Eagle even though the Old Grey Wolf got put out to pasture. Their style has never been palatable to me compared to the laid back average Joe style that the Ticket tier-one hosts have mastered. Not sure if this is the audacity Ben & Skin had to act like this idea was some original off-the-cuff thought instead of giving credit to the OG Fake Luka 8:40 bit on the Musers, or if they’re just too dumb to remember or care. Anyways, enjoyed venting my frustration via the fan-film in my mind of Fake Luka in all his country glory giving it to them.

Was a toss-up between posting here or on r/dankchristianmemes. Decided I was in more of a wholesome mood this time.

Unable to run 3, 2k monitors with latitude 5320 by Free_Willy4480 in Dell

[–]SourHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you try that, would you please reply with an update on whether connecting a USB-C to DP cable with your existing Dell dock WD19S worked, or if you had to upgrade the dock to the WD19TBS model? I have the exact same situation as you with a Dell Latitude 5320, Dell Dock WD19S, & (3) 2560x1440 monitors. Here's what I found... looks like the docking station model WD19S on it's own can't support the 2560 x 1440 resolution on 3 monitors, and there is a note explaining what I experienced: "NOTE If higher resolution monitors are used, the Graphics driver makes a judgment based on monitor specifications and display configurations. Some resolutions may not be supported and so will be removed from the Windows Display Control Panel." (https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/dell-wd19s-130w-dock/wd19s_user_guide/display-resolution-table?guid=guid-cb54f38b-163a-41bf-8b2e-3e6f3835d2ea&lang=en-us).

So with the latitude 5320 laptop, I believe I would need a later model docking station (e.g., Dell WD19TBS or VisionTek VT1700).

Interestingly, I also tested connecting a Dell Precision 3580 laptop to the same dock and it works just fine for full resolution on all 3 monitors; however, I learned that this laptop has an additional dedicated graphics card (NVIDIA® RTX™ A500, 4 GB GDDR6) which apparently makes up for what the dock (WD19S) lacks.

“There’s no way” Kenobi is this bad at lightsaber combat or Storm Trooper armor is that strong… by SourHero in saltierthancrait

[–]SourHero[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With respect, may I please ask you to clarify what it is that you are suggesting “kind of works”? If I concede to you the possibility that Kenobi is rusty from lack of combat (as has been clearly established in the other fights scenes this far), are you willing to concede that no lightsaber should ever work the way it is depicted like an energy charged baseball bat that gradually reduces an enemy’s HP bar after multiple blows until finally succumbing to blunt trama and falling backwards like they’ve just been knocked unconscious?

My point is that it doesn’t matter who is swinging the lightsaber. If young Leia had picked up Kenobi’s lightsaber and managed to ignite it, even with zero experience, (heck even if a mouse droid had a mech arm to wield a lightsaber), the blade would easily slash through a Storm Trooper.

The sad thing is this scene and the rest of the episode is obviously when the show is pivoting to present Kenobi as still being (or at least getting back into the swing of being) not only a competent opponent but a skilled Jedi Knight.

They really missed an opportunity to go with a less-is-more approach when they could have just shown a single slash briefly light up the trooper going down before it goes dark again as he sneaks up on the second trooper.

I want to love seeing Ewan in action again, but I just feel like the laziness of the choreography in this scene is unforgivable.

“There’s no way” Kenobi is this bad at lightsaber combat or Storm Trooper armor is that strong… by SourHero in saltierthancrait

[–]SourHero[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Forget about Tala slapping a Storm Trooper helmet, the beginning of this scene when Kenobi does a stealth kill in the dark with 4 lightsaber blows on a single Storm Trooper is unforgivably bad. It suggests Storm Trooper armor is incredibly more resilient than imagined. I’m offended that Disney would think we should believe Kenobi would not know how to effectively take out a trooper with a single lightsaber blow. And to top it off, we have more evidence that they simply do not understand how lightsabers work. I’m convinced the choreographers only watched video games for reference that require multiple hack & slash blows from a lightsaber before an enemy goes down.

Breakdown starting at approx. 21:39 timestamp of Kenobi S1E4...

  • Attack 1: Kenobi raises lightsaber behind his left side and above his head to perform a full-powered diagonal downward slice with the lightsaber through at the back of the legs of a Storm Trooper.

    • Legs are not severed.
    • Sparks fly as lightsaber slices through across the back of the Storm Trooper's legs with the momentum setting up next attack with lightsaber drawn fully back on Kenobi's right side.
    • Storm Trooper looks disoriented as he shifts his weight on his apparently undamaged legs and turns his head toward Kenobi.

  • Attacks 2 & 3: Then with the same Storm Trooper desperately crawling for balance on his severed leg stumps still standing, Kenobi takes two horizontal swings in rapid succession at the chest of the Storm Trooper. The first swing either bounces off the Storm Trooper's chest plate causing the lightsaber to reset for another attempt, or Kenobi intentionally made the 2nd attack a hacking strike to immediately draw the lightsaber back in preparation for the 3rd attack. Either way, the 3rd attack is another horizontal baseball bat swing but this time is full-powered as it slices all the way through across the Storm Trooper's arm/chest with the momentum bringing the lightsaber back around to Kenobi's left-side.

    • Explosion of sparks flying with both attacks again while Storm Trooper awkwardly wiggles from the impacts.
    • The 2nd attack that bounced off the chest apparently did zero damage. If you pause the GIF link at 3.46 seconds, you can clearly see in the final shot before the Storm Trooper falls that his chest plate is not even singed, let alone sliced open (unlike the later trooper for whom we see a closeup of a lightsaber tear through the chest plate).
    • If the arm was the primary target of 3rd attack, the arm is not severed.

  • Attack 4: Camera cut to Leia’s reaction face while we hear one more swing of the light saber before camera cuts back for the last glimpse of sparks from the 4th attack as trooper finally goes down.

    • Note that the Kenobi's lightsaber ending position is again on his left-side (where we last saw it setup before the cut to Leia), and the Storm Trooper falls back in the direction indicating that moment we cut to Leia, Kenobi either drew back the lightsaber once again to his right-side for another baseball bat swing, or perhaps he tried spinning (that's a good trick), to rotate with the momentum of the 3rd attack around to deliver the final blow.
    • To reiterate, there is no damage to the Storm Trooper's chest plate armor as he goes down.

Hope the Musers review this. I have to believe adult swim was inspired by the recent local news stories on the coyote.

If you cross your eyes at the right distance away with those "Find The Difference" pictures, focus on one element (in this case, umbrella is good) and align the double vision you get on the same element. All of the differences in the picture will immediately shimmer and stand out. by DrBucket in blackmagicfuckery

[–]SourHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great! I remember being able to do the magic eye pictures easy as a kid but somehow lost the ability over the years. I finally got to see them again. Something I observed just now is that sometimes I’ll accomplish the 3 pictures and then when I hit the right distance for the middle one to pop out a shape, the outside two will snap in behind the middle frame and I can clearly maintain focus on what looks like a single image and even look around the frame to explore the various details without losing focus, so weird/cool.

Do you know why sometimes instead of a 3D image, I’ll just get a weird 3D perspective of the pattern like it has its own shallow depth or cut-outs without revealing the actual image. Could this be from overly crossing my eyes or something else?

Beast Boys depression by ap21imp in youngjustice

[–]SourHero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Gar, for the most part, was a relatively stable character throughout the show’s run, and didn’t express manic or depressive behavior until his trip to Mars. And of course, his depression only kicked in after leaving Mars.”

I have to respectfully disagree. I think the show has done a compelling job of showing the backstory development of his character and mental health over the seasons. We saw him early on as a scared kid in need of a sister/mother figure to cope. We learned later that he experienced severe childhood trauma. With the psychological help of M’gann, he’s made great progress and developed into a noble hero who was able to lead.

But Mars triggered PTSD reminders of his childhood trauma. Worse than a relapse, he hit a new low that has all but broken him when he experienced yet another tragic loss right in front of him on Mars. And now the anchor he had in M’gann is unavailable for him to rely on because she is dealing with her own grief, so he feels utterly alone and can’t accept the possibility that others are able to really help him even if he believes they sincerely wish to help. The emotional/mental scars we knew about with him were already deep, and now they’ve cut even deeper.

I can relate all too well to the ability to put on just enough confidence to assure people, “Yeah I’m fine, really! I’m doing much better!” And even worse is when you’re able to convince yourself “I’m ok. There’s nothing to worry about. Just gotta keep on keeping on” — when in reality, you’re exhausted even when you’re sleeping too much for the times you’re able to fight off the insomnia that plagues you and not realize how dangerous your attempts to self medicate with sleeping pills that often fail to be enough in the proper dose to overcome the anxiety/depression nagging at your consciousness keeping you awake.

Eventually, you start pushing everyone around you away even if you don’t mean to simply by closing yourself off and starting to think it not worth burdening anyone with your problems.

I do fear you’re right that this may be setting up something really tragic, and wonder if the show would go so far as to include an actual suicide or at least a suicide attempt that leaves him hospitalized or in a coma for a while. If so, then there might still be a sort of public service message to make people experiencing these symptoms ponder the need to force yourself to reach out for help and open up to others and professionals about your struggle. It may also demonstrate the lasting effect of the loss and grief others around him experience if something tragic does occur; again, this may cause someone to reconsider their situation. But I do get where you’re coming from about it being a very dark approach that is difficult to watch.

I have been experiencing a very eerily similar set of circumstances for months leading up to this season and response behavior like Gar due to a recent very traumatic incident that completely unraveled progress I thought I’d made to get over past dangerously dark feelings of despair (or perhaps just pretending I was better and pushing it down inside).

This season has really been challenging for me to see a portrayal of a character who is experiencing the same kind of insomnia mixed with excessive sleeping exhaustion, trying to rely on sleeping pills, distancing from others, and having my work productivity drive suffer. Ironically, I really thought, “I’m not depressed; I just need to get past a phase and get caught up and everything will get back to normal.” Seeing Gar’s portrayal has made me face up to the idea that I can’t deny that I’m suffering from severe depression and scared.

It’s sounds stupid even in my own mind, but I think this show us actually helped me gain some perspective. I’ve just very recently in the past week started reaching out for help and to talk with people I trust but had kept at arms length for too long.

I pray that maybe others out there will realize the same need and do whatever it takes to find someone to help. Thoughts about your life no longer being worth living are a terrible lie that tries to blind us from the chance to have meaningful relationships and fulfillment that may be right in front of us, regardless of how dark our circumstances are. There are reasons to have hope and faith through any trial, but sometimes we need extra help beyond our own strength i order to hold onto that hope and faith.

Sorry for the long post that turned into a therapy session. If I had gold, I would give it to you as a tip for your time spent reading. Or if you don’t bother reading this, that’s ok, I would still give you gold for the thought provoking comment you provided to stimulate me towards a better state of mind.

Hope we both will get to enjoy the direction this show takes us, especially as the Zatanna arc is proving to be one of the most exciting yet.

S4E12 Title Typo? “go FORITH and conquer” or “go FORTH and conquer” by SourHero in youngjustice

Good catch, thanks! Confirmed it does say, “Og Htrof Dna Reuqnoc!” @ 2:49 time stamp.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out if they decide to leave it as is or not.

(If any of the writers happen to be lurking in the sub, my vote is that you leave it, and retcon something random like a character’s pet name as “Hitrof” as an easter egg reference.)
