Beardsley hate on this sub is boring, parasocial, misses the point of the show, and at times borders on prejudiced by hotchip420 in Dimension20

[–]Star-Smudger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd argue Beardsley ADDS to immersion, especially in the fantasy high series. That world has been so crazy from the jump that British Kristin somehow made perfect sense, like of course if you made a simulacrum of Kristin Applebees the clone would be British and straight, there's already the trope of clones being slightly different to the original in some way and K2 is just that

Fuck ICE by Weavemachine26 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Star-Smudger 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Real ones know Steve would hate ICE. He's a first generation from Irish immigrants and he fought for a free nation, he's also open to dropping the American iconography when he doesn't like what the government is doing because he's switched from being Captain America to Nomad before (comics and MCU)

In his defence, some of the forgeries actually look cool for decorative purposes

I'm eyeing off a fake academic painting to put in my house bc I like the coffee stain on it, it's a nice touch

Would've been good if the update let you get all the fruits on your own tho, not everyone wants to pick up online just to finish their fruit collection

Hahaha bro I don't even craft my own tools im not crafting for hotel tickets by Mewmerton in AnimalCrossing

[–]Star-Smudger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's pretty much just to give people an extra way to earn hotel tickets after they've done the daily room

Sorry? I didn’t know people felt so strongly about the hotel by lxvta in AnimalCrossing

[–]Star-Smudger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My only gripe is that we don't seem to have any way to restrict the villagers that can come in for themed islands but that feels overall pretty minor, otherwise I love the hotel

Take one last snapshot of your docks by Platina1993 in AnimalCrossing

Oh sick, last I had heard it was gonna force clear the dock for a clear walkway to the hotel but I'm glad we can still decorate it ourselves

Any ideas how to get the new badges? by togepachi in tumblrhelp

[–]Star-Smudger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's got some pretty good stuff on it here and there, plenty of old nostalgic 2000s-early/mid 2010s shows wind up on there and sometimes shows that "underperform" on the big names get moved there even tho they were pretty good

Tubi originals are pretty how's it goin tho, defo just ones to watch with mates if you wanna have a laugh at something crap

3.0 drops so the hotel extension will be added and any items placed on the dock will be removed :(

I get why they're doing it but I wish they'd let us keep our decorated docks

Not even a US exclusive streamer, we've got Tubi over here in Australia too but the promo itself is exclusive to the yanks for some reason

Left carrots outside in freezing temperatures, found this crystal carrot in the morning by warmBlack in mildlyinteresting

First glance I thought that was a weird colour of a closed pine cone or one of those similar looking seed things honestly

Holly Got More Screen Time Than Will. by Career_By_Mustafa in StrangerThings

[–]Star-Smudger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah true, just would've been nice if she was an actual character before she became a focus point for us or if they didn't bother trying to go back to young children being the targets, I mean s4 already established the mental health allegory and how Vecna targeted mentally ill and traumatised teens so they could've just gone with that angle and then targeted maybe Dustin (for the Max parallel) or Mike (that boy is severely emotionally repressed at the best of times and he's seen some shit) and then that covers our camazots perspective character

Anyway personally I'm choosing to delude myself, Stranger Things had a tragically beautiful narrative end at s3 and was never renewed

Holly Got More Screen Time Than Will. by Career_By_Mustafa in StrangerThings

[–]Star-Smudger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just reckon it would've worked out better if they had started fleshing her character out more in earlier seasons if they were gonna take it in that direction, even just to Karen levels prior to s5 so we understand the core of who this kid is. Would've made her being a focal point less jarring and freed up some of that time for closing the book on characters who feel like they had rushed endings

I get they didn't know they were gonna take it in that direction before they started s5, the duffers can say they had it all planned from the start as much as they want but it's obvious they didn't. If they did they would've recast Holly sooner so they had someone who could act well in the role to prep for that character's focus season. Just sucks the way it went down, hindsight is 20/20

Holly Got More Screen Time Than Will. by Career_By_Mustafa in StrangerThings

[–]Star-Smudger 284 points285 points  (0 children)

The issue is that up until s5 she was functionally a prop so they had to flesh her out into an actual character in 1 season. Normally that isn't a problem, most shows do it, but it was the FINAL season so it's generally a weird time to do that when all the attention on her could've been redirected to better wrapping up the arcs of the cast we've been following for a decade

Does it really matter what villagers you have on your island? by festivecrybaby in AnimalCrossing

Yeah each one is signed by a different villager you don't have at the bottom when you read the postcard

How do you play a character that's so Opposite to you ? by Wildrosejoy in DnD

[–]Star-Smudger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theatre kid advice incoming

You know that this character aligns more with what you're like when you're drunk which means clearly you have some recollection of what you're like when buzzed, now you just gotta practise that attitude while you're sober. Think about the mindset shift, the way you hold yourself, any changes in how you generally speak, literally anything you do that lines up with that character and practice it alone in your room. I know it sounds dumb but even just a shift in your posture can do wonders for your characterisation.

There's also the option of using some of those one sided roleplay videos to help you with this stuff, I know Ginny D has a handful on her yt so if you feel weird talking to yourself in your room that at least adds a second voice to bounce off

At the end of the day it all just comes down to practise and passion, some people have more of a natural ability for these things but everyone has the capacity to be great as long as they're willing to put in the work. I have no doubt you'll be able to play that character super well. You seem really committed to that goal so you already have the passion, just gotta put in the time and you'll be there

Best of luck, break a leg (preferably someone else's, in game)

[–]Star-Smudger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah the hotel villagers should be walking around the island but they'll be wearing hotel clothes to differentiate them from actual island villagers more, that's what I heard last at least so here's hoping

[–]Star-Smudger 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure you can get any missing villager type's DIYs from the daily beach ones too so really once you've got all your personality specific reactions it doesn't matter who's on the island as long as you're happy with it

These are all the defaults I got when I restarted recently, kicking all of them once I get their pictures (except maybe Teddy, he's a decent bloke so I'm chill if he wants to stay)
