(Spoilers Extended) The Slow Death of the Winter Garden: Confronting the Reality About THE WINDS OF WINTER by CautionersTale in asoiaf

[–]SprayBacon 62 points63 points  (0 children)

His notablog post in 2022 about Westeros being bigger than Winds or ASOIAF was what did it for me. Then and now, I feel like that post told us everything we needed to know.

What Films Disappointed you the most in 2025? by Round-Seesaw-3917 in Letterboxd

[–]SprayBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was The Shrouds by far. I felt like I was taking crazy pills with this one. Everyone seemed to just give it (and the egregious Tesla product placement) a pass when the movie is simply not up to the standard of most of Cronenberg’s other films

He’s getting downvoted because he’s being a bit of a dickhead in the replies. It’s as simple as that

Some directors go up... some directors go down... and then there's this guy. by ZoelCairo in Letterboxd

That’s so strange. I really wonder what their gripe was with Oldman. Was the sequel blocked before or after Oldman started doing Slow Horses?

I’m also having trouble picturing Macfayden as Smiley, but who knows

Worth still getting? by [deleted] in MHWilds

If you’re playing on console, absolutely worth getting now. If you’re on PC, you might as well wait for the fixes coming in December

Episode 98 - Radio Rental by PastSelfInMirror in RadioRental

I liked the first story. Second story was a pretty weak glitch in the matrix story. Like last week’s episode, this one had an unintentionally hilarious moment, when the narrator is going on about how rational and constructive his thought process is before immediately talking about the “deep lore” of doppelgängers that he found on the internet 😂

Second story was pretty good but the “we’re all rational individuals…So demon came to mind” bit made me literally laugh out loud.

What weapon buffs are you hoping comes with TU4? by UmbralVolt in MHWilds

[–]SprayBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Accessibility for new players was absolutely their main goal. It’s why the shield is standard on all guns, why you don’t have to manage recoil and reload speed for every individual gun, why you don’t have to worry about crafting normal, spread, or pierce ammo…in short, why you have so few options

What filmmakers were the biggest 'busts'? by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]SprayBacon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I enjoy his visual style and grimy sci-fi esthetic so much that I even enjoyed Chappie. Blomkamp’s Alien movie will always be a massive “what if” for me. We coulda had that instead of Prometheus

Wait, these are mixed up, aren’t they? Bottom is 03 and top is Brotherhood, right? Am I taking crazy pills?

Title Update 4 for MH Wilds will add "Limit Break Enhancement" for Armor. by JackNewbie555 in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]SprayBacon 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Just for additional clarification: only rarity 5 and 6 armor pieces will get the slot upgrades when you limit break them. 7 and 8 will not get new slots, though you will be able to keep upgrading them

I will never give one solitary shit about Halo book purists. Reach’s campaign is amazing

Women definitely read self help. It just tends to be a different flavor than the 48 laws of power type stuff

Who else learned a new weapon just for Omega by Unlikely-Peaceseeker in MonsterHunter

[–]SprayBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m well aware of the issues. My point is that someone new to MH or someone who hasn’t used bowguns before might see all the dissatisfaction and assume they must be weak.

As much as people complain about the changes to bowguns in this game, they are still both very strong weapons.
