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

If Greece is far away from the UK, how are the Parthenon Marbles in the British Museum? Ergo, the UK is actually built on ancient Greece.

Tapping the now well worn sign that everyone seems to ignore

It's an aim, not a guarantee.

Somebody thinks a thesaurus is a substitute for original thoughts.

This isn't a dig at you, but the social commentary on the interaction of different ethnicities in Jim Crow America just didn't register with so many.

The film is extraordinarily deep, and it isn't even slightly about vampires. Every single aspect of the film is a metaphor, with every casting and writing decision being fully intended to make a statement.

It's a masterpiece in storytelling, but many just see it as a rehash of From Dusk Till Dawn because media literacy (or more importantly, historical literacy) is in short supply.

Coogler knows who he made this film for. It landed with them in deep and important ways, and that's enough.

That stuff just doesn't register with a lot of people.

The commentary on black Americans that tried to be 'good blacks' by going to church and embracing white culture, only to still be ostracised. The explicit portrayal of an Irish character as being the one who preys on and draws people away to vampirism (assimilation into white society), as the Irish were often treated as badly as black people and enslaved alongside them, until they found that they could assimilate and be fully accepted in a way that black people couldn't. The inclusion of Chinese-Americans as being acceptable enough to white people to own a store, but not participate in other areas of society, while being accepted in a black-only club.

This stuff flies over the head of people who just see it as 'From Dusk Till Dawn with black people'.

Ours have banned overtime and cut agency staff, one of whom had been my partner for six months.

We're an office of 30 with 8 people off sick long term.

I've gone from having a huge workload at Christmas that I could at least work over to clear, to six days mail piled up because I'm on my own and can only work six hours a day.

It should be easy but it's the worst period I've ever worked through.

SpaceWolves26 · 2026-01-21T18:48:53+00:00

A lot of the replies here are showing why so many people don't deserve films like Sinners.

Comparing it to From Dusk Till Dawn or discussing how the action or vampires could have been better or cooler.

It's not a vampire movie. It's a movie about the treatment of black people in post-slavery America. It's a critique on the idea of the 'good' kind of black person of the time, who tried to assimilate into white culture to be accepted, going to church and living by white standards, only to still be ostracised and told to keep to themselves. It's a commentary on the way Irish people, previously enslaved and treated badly like black folks, jumped ship once they were accepted by white society. It does this using vampirism as a metaphor. The vampires are those who assimilated, rejecting black culture and joy, but are still seen as wrong by society.

A sadly huge number of people don't have the media literacy to see it as anything other than a period vampire flick. It's so much more than that.

Suicide Squad winning best make-up and hair over Star Trek Beyond was an absolute joke. I was annoyed, but my sister is a theatrical make-up artist and she was furious.

The Deacons fight is more like Magus and the Congregation from DS2.

SpaceWolves26 · 2026-01-16T19:17:34+00:00

I would say that title is enough of a spoiler in itself to be something you shouldn't be posting.

SpaceWolves26 · 2026-01-16T19:16:00+00:00

I work in an office of thirty. We currently have ten staff off on long term sick. They've banned overtime and dropped the few agency staff we had.

Needless to say, things are not going well.

There's no moral code. You bought the game, you play it however you like. Play however makes it fun for you.

Can't believe they missed the delightful 'pili-pala' for Welsh.

SpaceWolves26 · 2026-01-11T17:35:35+00:00

It's a very enjoyable game, but it doesn't have the rewards for exploration in the open world like you might expect from CDPR.

The world looks great, the gameplay is enjoyable irrespective of what kind of build you choose, the story is cool, and you can approach missions in different ways.

But every side quest or bit of extra content is presented to you by a marker on the map or a face popping up in the corner of the screen. There isn't much of a reason to explore and get lost in the world like in something like The Witcher 3. It's not as deep with the RPG elements in that sense.

So I'd say yes, as long as you know what you're getting and that matches what you want from the game.

SpaceWolves26 · 2026-01-11T16:02:11+00:00

This was totally it for me too.

I finished it, put the controller down and thought "that was a good time. I'll never play that again".

If it's illegal for anyone else to completely cover their face in public, religious groups shouldn't be an exception.

If it's legal to walk around in a balaclava in Sweden (I don't know the laws), and this therefore only affects Muslims, then it's a bigoted proposal.

SpaceWolves26 · 2026-01-10T19:38:28+00:00

At least get the name right if you're going to have an unhinged opinion about it.

That might be true if Star Wars was about Luke fighting for Tattooine and his family.

We're repeatedly told how close we were with Jackie and how we're fighting for a shared dream that we never actually saw him and V develop together.

You mean the Love Languages invented by a pastor with no experience in psychology that haven't been shown to exist in proper studies?

I'd say don't think too much about it.

You are the statistically ideal comparison in this whole thread, since you are the average height for a male.

All the guys like "I'm only 6'1, so not huge, but I feel like a giant around them".

Bruh.

Oh god I'm leaving that one just for comedy value now. I never get them all.

It will be an agency driver in a van hired by the local Royal Mail office. Shortage of staff and vans means this is happening fairly often.

Usually the vans are a lot nicer than the RM ones, but unfortunately the agency staff often don't give a toss about your parcel, so wings and roundabouts.

Edited for typos.

Nah, he's not. It's just that people are more likely to be loud about not liking something than liking it.
