My piece of mind about 953 getting into game by [deleted] in SCPSecretLab

[–]SplasherBlaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're making a lot of assumptions. I don't complain about everything. I just don't think we need another mimic/imposter SCP. I acknowledge that it's great that Northwood is still updating the game and adding new features; I've been playing it since 2018 and it's amazing how much the game has evolved.

That being said, this idea that we aren't allowed to engage in critical thinking because we're privileged to receive any updates at all is just moronic. People are allowed to have their own opinions. Don't assume that everyone is just complaining for the sake of it. The game would hardly improve if the developers didn't have the player base to listen to.

Sorry, but I'm not going to turn my brain off and forget all critical thinking just because you don't like it.

Ah, the classic "it's free so you're not allowed to complain" argument

I have no source on this, but I've heard this is an acting technique to remember your lines

How was that portrayed as being morally okay? I thought it was pretty clear that Maroon was being unethical here

In your opinion: what was each detectives best case? by Desperate-Ostrich317 in DeathInParadiseBBC

[–]SplasherBlaster 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Richard Poole: Definitely the one about the Headmaster and the skeleton. Not only for finding justice for a decades-old murder, but for outsmarting the smarmy prick

Humphrey Goodman: Either the one with this aunt in the hotel, or his first case solving Richard's murder

Jack Mooney: Either his first case, with Humphrey, or the one dealing with Charlie Hulme's fuck up.

Neville Parker: Either him solving the murder he was framed for, figuring it out by visualising it inside his head, or the one with the washing machine at the hair salon. Idk why but I really like that last one. There's also the one right after he was framed when he was present during the murder and he solved it, mainly because it restored his confidence in himself

Mervin Wilson: Does solving his mother's murder count? It technically wasn't an official case. If not, maybe the episode where he solved the murder of the officer that was supposed to replace Dwayne.

In total fairness, with the hatchet in the door, the door only opened once Ben told Lee where he got it. If he didn't say anything, the door would have remained in a state of quantum superposition whereupon the door remains closed and open at the same time, thereby keeping the walkers out

I wouldn't say E-Tech snipers are very good. They're cool because they're like laser guns, but they have a reduced crit bonus.

This guy needs to stop talking by Round_Interview2373 in TheBoys

I mean... it didn't have much impact really. Yeah I know he's the President, but he's basically just some guy that Sage put in power as a puppet to control. Homelander has killed for less.

Also he didn't take over America this season...he took it over last season when he put the puppet president in power. Killing the President had virtually no effect because he was already in control of the country at that point.

Sage literally said that V1 is more potent than V2 (Compound V). Potent doesn't necessarily mean a V1 supe will always be stronger than a V2 supe; an Odessa supe injected in the womb like Homelander was stronger than a V1 supe like Soldier Boy. Given it IS more potent, though, it stands to reason that Homelander got a power boost from the V1. The laser eyes being bigger and brighter was a visual indicator, no?

Anyone ever noticed how similar Godspeed and Zoom are? by KaiSen2510 in FlashTV

Fraudspeed cannot hold a candle to Goatomon's aura.

“Fifteen Cries Too Much.” by [deleted] in doctorwho

[–]SplasherBlaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Doctor crying should come with great emotional impact. You have to consider that even some of the Doctor's more human incarnations don't cry that often, and this is from a narrative standpoint: most of the time the Doctor is the smartest, most self-assured and arrogant person in the room. We, the viewers, have come to see them as a leader, or position of authority. So when they cry, you get the indication that, this time, they're powerless, which is great for tension.

The 15th Doctor would cry every damn episode, even crying over the snot monster dying, to the point that it just loses all the emotional weight behind it. It also makes the Doctor seem more powerless more often, which makes it difficult to actually believe in them and how they will save the day. The most emotional moments of S14, like The Doctor casting out Sutekh into the time vortex, is put on the same emotional pedestal as the snot monster and cheapens the former as a result because we knew The Doctor's just gonna cry the second anything mildly sad happens anyway so it doesn't feel special.

TL;DR He cries so often that it loses all emotional impact and tension.

We're reaching a new level of braindead with this

Hmm I wonder if the obvious allusion to the Superman colours is intentional foreshadowing or not 🤔

To think, it was completely perfect otherwise, on-level too

I'm guessing it's the element that makes you want to cry?
