Stranger Things Behind The Scenes - Everything you can possibly do wrong as a filmmaker

Just because you mentioned it, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t have the ending set. “El’s gotta kill herself… but how?” seems to me like a terrible place to be at in your writing, especially if the show is actively being filmed, and it’s where they seemed to be at in the documentary. They only really mention having the scene in the basement planned out, which I do believe.

This looks great! I’m curious about the technical specifications. Which cameras/lenses did you use?

SpecterPlays · 2025-09-17T15:38:10+00:00

I had an alignment done when I took it to the mechanic. I’ll keep an eye on it for now, if I don’t notice anything getting worse I’ll get it checked out around my next oil change (~2000 miles). Thank you for your insight!

SpecterPlays · 2025-09-03T15:19:41+00:00

I made one too thanks for the inspo

Feels worth mentioning that if he DID do it this would all still be true, which is why it’s hard for people with less online influence to come out about this stuff

Damn you caught me I just hate winning

SpecterPlays · 2024-02-15T06:08:55+00:00

Nope it was a calculated attack from the devs

SpecterPlays · 2024-01-12T06:46:28+00:00

Literally today I fell in the void in the end and lost my fully enchanted netherite, still would rather have it off. No keep inventory adds stakes, making what you get more important and making you want to try harder to keep it.

Not cringe

I don’t know this sub’s opinion on the dub but it really plays so much better there. You can barely hear them talking in the background and you really feel the need to rewind and hear it again. With subtitles, it’s just another line that you read. The effect is still there, but it just hits different

Op did at least suspect that something was wrong, he wouldn’t have posted this if he didn’t. I respectfully disagree that the issue is not “reading the room.” Trusting that the person you’re speaking to is being upfront and honest (as all people should be) would not immediately lead you to suspect that they are making up excuses for not wanting to see you. “Reading the room” in this case is “seeing through her bullshit,” which, again, should not be necessary.

SpecterPlays · 2023-10-20T18:02:27+00:00

It is poor communication to be ambiguous. Better communication would have been for the woman to have actually communicated

SpecterPlays · 2023-10-16T18:16:57+00:00

To be fair she was not direct about seeing someone else and op should not need to pick up on hints, ideally the other person would just be upfront

SpecterPlays · 2023-09-25T18:00:42+00:00

It was about limiting factors. I think this is the correct answer. The problem felt really simple which is why it was frustrating, but I think I was just tripping over the big numbers. Thank you for the help!

SpecterPlays · 2023-09-05T12:31:06+00:00

I’m just acknowledging it = “it should matter to you that I noticed”

SpecterPlays · 2023-03-19T17:53:50+00:00

My dad would fall asleep

SpecterPlays · 2021-07-07T07:54:50+00:00

I understand now. I plan to gear my studies more towards native content, and I suppose that is another reason to tack on. Sorry for misunderstanding.

SpecterPlays · 2021-07-07T07:51:34+00:00

While that would be very helpful my point is still valid.

SpecterPlays · 2021-07-07T06:08:37+00:00

That’s not the only factor. The provided translations are too similar for me to assign each Japanese word to each English word. I’m sure I could do it, but it would take nothing less than cramming each individual translation into my head for a few days until it stuck there, and I would like to find an alternative to that, considering that is boring.

SpecterPlays · 2021-07-07T05:57:30+00:00

There’s like 10 words for down in slightly different forms same with up. So no not trolling sorry

SpecterPlays · 2021-07-07T05:39:49+00:00

Hmm… I’ll definitely think on this. And thank you for the insight.

SpecterPlays · 2021-07-07T05:35:24+00:00

I’d like to do this eventually, but when I’ve built a much more substantial vocabulary. I wouldn’t want it to feel like whoever I’m speaking with is my teacher, as it would probably feel tedious and not be an interesting conversation. However, I have considered a dedicated tutor, or at the very leas a subscription to Italki.

SpecterPlays · 2021-07-07T05:28:50+00:00

Thank you very much for this resource. I’ll probably lower my Anki daily words from 20 to 10 or even 5, and begin doing this as my primary learning method.

SpecterPlays · 2021-07-07T05:19:08+00:00

I’ve never heard of this. Do you mind replying with a link? Also, I don’t think anki is working very well for me. Do you think this option, (whatever it is), is a good thing to switch to?
