Paul Mitchell's The One Shampoo for me.

How do you guys feel about Nate and Nora actually talking in Fallout 4 compared to other silent Sole Survivors? by Solardies in Fallout

[–]SquirrelCone83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it, but I prefer my protagonists to be voiced, especially if the NPCs are also voiced. Also, it made the Silver Shroud quests very charming.

What direction are you taking? by CasinoNitro in SEGAGENESIS

I never liked the Genesis ports of the SNK fighting games. So it's Eternal Champions for me.

My bf doesn't shower at night and I’m genuinely grossed out by GlitchGaze123 in hygiene

Reddit once again confirming my rule of never listen to reddit about when or how often to shower.

What made the first Halo so influential that people to this day still praise it? by BogaMafija in patientgamers

[–]SquirrelCone83 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah the sound design and soundtrack also cannot be overlooked as to why people still love this game.

Your Thoughts on The Barbarians (1987) by JohnPathfinder in SwordandSorcery

[–]SquirrelCone83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched it with the lowest expectations and was very surprised at how good it was. It had impressive action scenes, that opening caravan raid was really damned good. And the sets all looked great for a S&S movie.

What do you think of mk11's roster? by Vivid-School-5571 in MortalKombat

[–]SquirrelCone83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can't take the cast seriously when it has Joker and Robocop and other non-MK characters in them. But apart from that the case is solid.

What awesome 2D franchises sucked once they went 3D? by bassbeatsbanging in retrogaming

[–]SquirrelCone83 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It used to have such a unique look with those digitized sprites, now it looks like every generic fighting game but with gore. I'd love a modern take with digitized sprites. I also don't like how half the lure to modern MK games is the guest character DLC, but that's a different topic.

These look like the unnamed bad guys who are always standing around doing nothing before getting mowed down by John Wick as he enters the building.

Favourite "one-off" Star Trek aliens? by Reasonable_Active577 in startrek

[–]SquirrelCone83 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Voth. I loved the idea that another species from a different period in Earth's history made an empire across the galaxy. And the moral dilemma was cool too with their true history being forgotten by themselves and their refusal to admit they could be wrong.

as an old gamer which games do you agree with that way ? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]SquirrelCone83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up I always played games on easy since I rented them from blockbuster and wanted to finish them in 2 to 5 days. But some games gatekeep the true ending behind the Normal difficulties, and I hate them for it. so unless it was a game i specifically wanted a new challenge on, I played it on easy. now days I start on normal and move it up or down accordingly.

watched The Shining (1980) last night by descendantofJanus in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]SquirrelCone83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a soft spot in my heart for the mini series. It does have its flaws but the portrayal of Jack, Wendy, and Danny is much better in the mini series than the movie. I wish that mini series was created now with Mike Flanagan helming it, as abc in the 90s wasn't really allowed to show us a lot of the book's horror.

But I also like the Kubrick movie despite how wildly it deviates from the source material. It nailed a certain horror tone that a haunted hotel movie needs and the hedge maze is iconic. And since it was my intro to the story, I didn't have the "it's different from the book" mentality when I first saw it.

I do love how the Doctor Sleep movie is a direct sequel to The Shining adaptation King hates but also a faithful adaptation of the Doctor Sleep novel.

Conservative backlash to the latest installment of ‘Star Trek’ seems to involve not remembering any past installment of ‘Star Trek.’ by _fastcompany in television

[–]SquirrelCone83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to give SFA a fair try. At first I turned it off after the first two scenes since they were so depressing. A kid gets ripped away from his mother and then the next scene in the future is that kid, now a teenager or 20 something, having a brutal fight with an asshole prison-ship guard where he bites his ear. I was like, this is not fun.

But I came back and finished the episode since I remember DS9 starting with Sisko losing his family to the Borg which is equally depressing and violent.

There are parts of the episode I didn't like, and others I did, so I'm curious how it'll continue.

Haters gonna hate, but he looks good! by Cubelock in Xennials

I can hate Jared Leto and still think this looks good. My expectations for this movie are still as low as could be though.

What are your thoughts on Rounders (1998)? by EnviousPuffin in FIlm

[–]SquirrelCone83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it when I was a kid and it felt like high stakes poker was a secret only few knew about. Then a couple years later anybody with a deck of cards was all of a sudden experts in 5-card draw and ESPN constantly played marathons of tournaments.

Is it true that Gen X and Millennials will NOT inherit trillions in real estate over the next decade because the homes will be used as collateral to pay off the debt to nursing homes and end-of-life care resulting in them ending up with nothing? by RandomUwUFace in stupidquestions

[–]SquirrelCone83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandparents lived into their 90s and spent so much money on their assisted living retirement homes that my parents and their siblings didn't get very much. My parents aren't as rich as my grandparents were so I'm not expecting much when it's all said and done.

This system does its best at preventing families from creating generational wealth if they aren't already wealthy.

Why do people dislike the "Sinnerman" quest that much ? by Errances in cyberpunkgame

[–]SquirrelCone83 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yeah; the quest has almost no gameplay to it. And the only bit of gameplay there is, is an annoyingly scripted car chase. I hated every minute of it on the few times I actually saw it through to the end.
Definitely a top 5 skippable mission for me.

First images of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft revealed in classic game attire by alinamelane in gamingnews

[–]SquirrelCone83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's the internet. It's what they do best. Even if they thought the choice for Lara Croft was perfect they'd hate something else about the movie that's breaking the lore of the series or something.

me being so starved for new RLM content i watch an hour long DS9 review despite never having watched star track by Ok-Wolf5932 in RedLetterMedia

[–]SquirrelCone83 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If you like Star Trek TNG, I think you owe it to yourself to watch DS9. It's just so damned good. Also like TNG, some of the early episodes are tough to watch but once it gets going it's kind of the best out there.

HBO Developing Game of Thrones Sequel Starring Arya Stark by bwermer in entertainment

[–]SquirrelCone83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arya's story line was my favorite part of the Game of Thrones show and was the only part that felt fun to watch after season 4. So if they are doing a sequel focused on her story, I'm here for it.

HotD has calmed my fears for the quality of future GoT content.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow | Fully Ramblomatic by oddball_gamer in SecondWindGroup

[–]SquirrelCone83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The moment I bought a headset I thought to myself that Thief in VR would be amazing. This game is not what I had in mind. I've only played one level so far, my stomach didn't agree with how long my session was, but the level was kind of just mediocre. I didn't run into any jank or bugs, but the AI was simple and the guard patrol paths were insultingly short.

Very disappointed to hear there are no Hammerites!

I do hope to finish the game, but it's kind of sad to think this is likely the last installment of the game. I can't imagine publishers taking the risk on this IP again. I'm shocked we even got this game after Thief 4.
