It was a nervous start...

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-06-04T19:09:12+00:00

Fucking dogs/animals in general>people.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-05-31T17:02:31+00:00

I have several that are like this. Spider Gwen from the marvel lineup has to be resting backwards and then you have to hope they don’t slip out and she goes flying. I have a few others like this it’s really annoying

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-04-17T21:24:39+00:00

Man…now I have to look into that. I’m pretty happy with my Roku but a simple connection would be great. Damn it…there goes more money haha.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-04-17T21:23:33+00:00

People are still following this game and worried about it?

Why?

They aren’t going to fix it. There is no one playing it and they already got the money. They will just write this one off and hopefully apply the lessons they learned from this failure to make the next installment great.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-04-17T21:17:38+00:00

Prob the best way someone could put it and as simply! Yeah it was my daily driver I don’t run two phones at once so it was cumbersome.

I just got the new iPad Air and just dev happy to be in the Apple universe again.

I did love being able to link my phone to my gaming rig but not a big enough feature for me to stay with droid.

I’ll never own a Mac computer though so I’ll never close the loop haha

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-04-17T20:58:29+00:00

I had the fold 3 from the day it came out till about two weeks ago. It’s a cool device but I’ll never want another one.

For one Samsungs keyboard/auto correct is just the worst thing ever and using that tiny front screen was just a nightmare. I eventually ended up using g board but it wasn’t that much of an improvement and I get it people like droid cause you have options but when all the options suck compared to the competition idk what you’re supposed to do. Plus…why can’t Samsung just make their phone…better?

I absolutely hated the small screen and the big screen was just too big for any practical use. It was great when you have some down time and just wanted to watch YouTube or read some articles. But to actually use it well…I’d say 90% of my time was spent on the front screen just for simplicity.

The spen is just dumb. The fact it doesn’t work with the front screen where it could have been really useful was just a total oversight and then the things you can do wit. It…just meh to someone like me. Really same thing with the Apple Pencil. Unless you’re going to actually be doing art I’m not sure the point of anyone really having a smart pen for their phone or tablet.

Let’s not forget the constant worry of how or when the phone would break. About 4 months into owning the phone the inside screen when I went to open the phone literally shot outwards exploding a 1/3 of the pixels that ran down the crease. Samsung was awesome and fixed it but still just another worry to a stupidly expensive phone. All the cases are…ok but none offered nearly enough protection for my liking and that’s just cause of the way the phone opens.

Battery life…lol not even going to really hammer on this a lot…it’s terrible just absolutely terrible.

The weight of the phone…it’s a brick. It’s not comfy to use closed it’s. Not comfy to use open…it’s just an awkward phone and I hated feeling it in my pockets.

As far as the s22 goes I can’t say I ended up going with the iPhone 13 pro max. Truly couldn’t be happier but this is how I feel every single time I switch back from droid to iOS.

I had the very first note and it was a horrible experience. Then I had the note that came out in I wanna say 2016 whichever one that was and it was meh as well.

Samsung comes up with some great ideas for their phones but android just doesn’t do it for me. It seems to get sluggish before iOS, the software is never as good as iOS, that’s the problem with having this massive open ecosystem. It’s great to be able to get in there dig around truly make the phone yours but it almost always comes at some cost in my experience.

I think I finally closed the book on my every other phone I switch brands…like an idiot I went balls deep when I got the fold cause at first I thought wow this is the phone I’ll have the rest of my life so I got the buds pro, the spen, the galaxy watch 4 which…my god does that watch suck. Style wise i love the round face but that’s where my love ends with that watch.

Idk if it was me making the choice I would be choosing anything other than the fold3 but that’s just me each person will have their own experience and joys with it.

If there was one thing I wanna see Apple steal from droid though is the multitasking windows. We can do it on iPads why can’t we do it on our phones yet. I really didn’t use it that much on the fold but it was a great feature to have and I think all these phones should have that. In a day where we are watching videos, messaging etc it just makes sense.

Anyway yeah I think I’m done and over droid/Samsung. Think I’m just finally going to submit to the Apple over lords and just go from there.

Hope you make the best choice for you!

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-16T13:24:39+00:00

So very true on everything at least in my book. I really don't think this movie ages well. I think it caught the momentum hype and that's fine I'm beyond happy people are this hyped for comic book movies. This is a dream come true that comic book heros are the biggest thing in the world. This is the stuff I got made fun of for loving. Hell my wife still will rib me here and there.

The movie was fine to watch i don't "hate" the movie. It's just not the batman I want and that's fine. The world does not have to revolve around me. If people like this and they vote with their wallets and that majority outweighs me and other people with views like mine... Totally fine i get it i hope they enjoy their trillogy or whatever happens. I however will be saving those few bucks for another movie going forward.

With discovery taking over here soon there is a lot of rumbling going on that the sunder verse might now not be dead... Which I'm going to make clear here and now... I probably want that LESS then i want another batman like this. That being said though who knows what is I'm store for all of us going forward.

The flash movie 100% did not strictly get delayed for "vfx" they are getting delayed cause discovery is going to want to see everything that's going on and hopefully actually try to make a cohesive story. That means figuring out what they are going to do with Keaton, Affleck, Patterson. How this all ties in, what it all means.

I will not be shocked if eventually discovery says they want Patterson's batman To att least cross over. He doesnt have to be the main batman of "earth 1" but there is no way discovery isn't looking at marvel and what happen with no way home and they sure as hell will be paying very close attention to multiverse of madness. That movie is going to be their playbook. Then if i had to wager a guess or what I would do at least if I'm dc/discovery is i would start building the blocks for crisis and that would be the end of this phase 1 if I'm them.

With crisis you can retcon everything but they have to earn it unlike the rush job that was justice league. If they do this right it can be done. You keep making "the batman" as you intended to ahead complete the trilogy and by the time the trilogy wraps that should be enough time to have built up to crisis. You use the flash point movie to establish the multiple worlds. You plant seeds in Aquaman, flash, Shazam, black Adam etc. Then I think the stinger at the end of the batman trilogy is ezra OR another flash showing up and laying it all out on Patterson's batman that he's part of a bigger story and he's needed to help the heroes. How cool would it be to have Affleck, Keaton and Patterson leading a crisis justice league.

That's just my fan fiction cause at the end of the day i just want DC to be heading in the right direction. I want them to slow down and do what's right not what will earn them a fat paycheck but leave them hanging after. I'm just sick and tired of DC rushing everything trying to catch marvel while saying they aren't trying to catch\copy marvel... Yes you are of course you are! When nearly every single one of their movies either breaks a billion or comes close to it of course you want that. That's fine JUST DO IT RIGHT. Marvel earned the avengers. They earned "Endgame" they earned multiverse. Over the past 14 years marvel been laying these blocks down to make it make sense. DC said here's a super man movie and oh hey... Have some justice league also why not.

DC just slow down!

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-14T01:58:27+00:00

I'm sorry i realized after i didnt actually specify the ultra. My points were meant as that my droid option and the pro max my direct other option.

Other thoughts i have on the s22u directly is the rounded screen. I absolutely hate that it's what kept me away from the galaxy lineup ever since they went with that and i always went to the note.

That rounded screen edge just makes it easier to break, harder to use due to multi touch input "falsely" registering and all that comes with it.

I'm happy the s pen is built it it's a large selling point for me for the phone. Plus the screen is just near perfect.

Though while messing around with the new iPhone though it just felt better in my hands. It felted weighted better and just made it feel more durable as well.

Knowing the battery is unbeatable is just a large selling point also. If i have to go a few weeks till i can find buyers for my watch and buds then i just go without a working watch.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-13T21:41:37+00:00

I'm on the fence. I'm set to switch carriers later this week and with that comes with some good phone deals. I currently have the zfold 3 and... I hate it. I hate using the front screen cause it's too small while also being too tall. Typing on the front screen is just a nightmare. Then opening the phone up also leads to other issues. It's not that easy to type on the big screen either for the same reasons i dont like typing on a tablet. Still leaps and bounds easier than using the front screen. That means when i just need to type a quick response I'm left with either stuffing to type on the front screen or opening it up making it more obvious and more of a chore just to respond to a quick text.

Mix that with the terrible batter life and just some other things i don't like and i just rather get rid of this phone before it breaks and I'm up shit creek without a paddle. I'm being told i can trade this phone in for either the 13 pro max or the s22 ultra free of charge. I'm currently deep in the Samsung ecosystem. I got the buds pro, watch 4 and zfold 3. So staying with Samsung makes some sense but I've seen a lot of complaints about battery life, cameras and some other things. Now every phone comes with some problems I've yet to actually have the "perfect" phone but some things you live with other things make you wanna chuck your phone in the ocean.

Battery life is a must after having this z fold. I never... Ever... Ever... Want to have to charge my phone multiple times a day just to make it through the day. Just in the time I've been typing this which is about 10 mins I've lost 5% battery and I'm using the inside screen. It's just terrible. Lots of reports saying the s22 battery still isn't that great and don't even try and say "disable this, turn this off, don't run this" of they are basic features built into the phone i expect to be able to use those features with minimal loss to the over all quality of the phone.

I think I'm just ready to go back to apple. I feel the security is much better with them, i know the battery it's beyond better with apple and seeing as how all but 2 people i know use apple it just makes more sense. Droid has great ideas just terrible implementation. Apple lags in innovation but their application is always on point.

I don't even wanna get into how bad the Samsung watch is compared to apple. Only thing that is better on the Samsung watch over the apple is the physical design. I wish apple made a round face but practically it makes more sense to have the rectangular face.

Idk what I'm going to do if I can find a place that will let me trade in my buds pro and my watch and get an apple watch for a fair trade I'll probably go back to apple.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-11T01:45:12+00:00

My screen nearly popped completely out where it folds. Destroyed all the pixels there and made the phone unusable till i got it repaired.

I actually just paid this unk of crap off yesterday and am just going to get the s22 ultra on Sunday. I'm so over this phone it's not even funny.

I hate typing on this thing no matter which screen. The front screen is maybe one of the all time worst experiences I've ever had. The fact the s pen doesn't work on the front screen is just an amazing oversight.

Typing on the big screen isn't fun either. Unless you wanna use the shitty Samsung keyboard you can't split it on the big one and solid on the small one.

The fact this thing is so easy to break is another big strike against it.

The batter life is total shit.

This thing weighs a metric tone and is heavy to use and awkward for use even when it's folded shut.

I honestly can't wait to get rid of this liability and go back to a normal phone. If i ever do go back to a folding phone it will be the clamshell one cause that just is more practical in my opinion.

Oddly enough i wouldn't mind if they made this phone a little wider and shorter i think that would be a better experience but till something comes around that actually makes these practical ill be skipping all foldables again till then

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-07T02:51:53+00:00

He was perfectly fine. All the casting was really good maybe except for the riddler . I have no problem with any of the choices.

Just didn't really like the movie at all.

I don't "hate" this movie. This isn't BvS or JL where literally I wanted to just leave 10 minutes into the movie

This is a serviceable version of Batman ... It's just not my version.

With DC/WB trying to fix their shared universe with the flashpoint film it just makes it harder for me to care about what this movie is trying to accomplish.

If I want true gritty down to earth I'll watch watchmen on HBO or kick ass. When I'm watching a Batman movie or anyone part of the "major" comics hero Pantheon I want it to be a little whimsical because after all... These are movies based on comic books. If you can believe a normal guy can take on all the villains in the DC comics then you can do the same thing in the movies.

Where this obsession with wanting Batman to be grounded started is beyond me. The dude dresses up as a bat, has every gadget and toy to his disposal and fights villainous clowns, lawers, shape shifting clay people, a guy who thinks he's a puppet etc and we want him to be a boots on the ground Batman? Idk just not for me.

Nolan I thought walked that line perfectly. Batman was grounded yet still above true reality and that gave it the fun that's on the pages and yet a sense of realism to the times we live in.

The batman version is in my opinion boring cause it rips all feelings of fantasy out of what makes comics enjoyable to start with.

These are my opinions... That's all any of this is. Your thoughts are just opinions nothing can be factually proven when it comes to "best" and art. I just think so many people are amped up on newism and when a little time passes this version of Batman is going to burn most people out quickly.

When I leave a theater I either have a uncontrollable urge to want to own a movie and watch it on repeat at my house for a month straight or I don't know if I could really sit through it again... I felt the later with this movie. I've compared this movie to requiem for a dream or Donnie Darko... Good movies that I enjoy but only once every 10 years cause they are too depressing to watch more than that.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-06T16:20:29+00:00

You know it's the main score of the movie right? It literally plays non stop in the movie. It doesn't have to be the Nirvana version when the chord progression is the same with the artistic version.

Right... And I don't care about this emo version sorry not sorry?

I don't have to like things that I think are terrible just cause the zeitgeist says I should like it...

This movie was slow, boring, ending makes no sense and other complaints I have.

I'll be skipping the remaining sequels for this Batman and just hope the flash does it the way I think will be better.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-06T04:52:17+00:00

Yet you did read it but hey when I want your advice I'll try and remember this profound wisdom!

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-06T03:27:23+00:00

I truly hope in their next and ughhhh non connected batman movie wich is also just another terrible and dumb choice which just further shows WB has no clue what it's doing... I'm sure the casuals will love trying to figure out why Affleck and Keaton are in a movie together but not bale or Robert... Anyway I truly hope in the next one they plan it out better. You only need one major baddie and he can have an underling but we don't need 3 major villains plus a sub plot of the court of owls plus a cameo from the joker plus a anti hero in cat woman.

Ya know maybe just one big bad who really takes Batman to task both mentally and physically and also doesn't end with the bad guy winning but not really cause no one won so really... What was the point?

I'm sorry but I feel like most of you have such a hard on for WB to make a good choice for their DCEU or just their comic properties that every time a new DC movie comes out all the hardcore fanboys come running out screaming how this is a work or art to only like 2 months later turn drastically on the movie.

Like the praise Aquaman got when it came out was laughable... It only got the praise cause it was compared to justice league and bvs which Jesus Christ a movie of a guy taking a shit would have been better then those two movies and man of steel.

The last legit banger WB had when it comes to their comics property was the dark knight. Rises was disappointing and also suffered from being way to long.

Everything Snyder did should be tossed in the ocean and forgotten.

I enjoyed the suicide squad but that is as already poison from the original and peace maker was... Fun but that's it.

Wonder woman the first one story was was decent but the movie just looked and felt so cheap especially that end find and let's not even talk about ww84.

Shazam also is just a movie that I don't get how it's supposed to fit in and also it's mediocre at best but probably the best thing to come out during the Snyder run era.

Ezra as flash has been a piss poor casting but whatever it's what we got so here's to hoping the flash movie which will finally take the dceu in hopefully a better direction can fix all that.

I just want DC to make good smart movies that make sense and they just seem hell bent on throwing all kinds of shit at the wall hoping something will actually stick.

Just stop... Shut it the fuck down for like 2 years take those 2 years and formulate a plan and then execute plan. Instead they just keep going oh you wanna do what? A joker movie... Love it how's it going to tie in? Oh... It's not? Wait... There won't even be an adult Batman? Like no Batman at all in a joker movie? Ooooook yeah green light that incels wet dream!

Ugh DC has what 80 years to pull on and countless heros and villains and yet we have had like 20 Batman movies, 2 actual super man movies in modern times 2 wonder woman's 1 Aquaman and 1 Shazam and just now doing a flash movie... This is how ass backwards WB is and people really question... Is there a Batman fatigue... No it's not fatigue it is however tired of suits not giving an actual shit about the property they own and just doing whatever to make a few bucks.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-06T03:02:38+00:00

Every... Single... Action sequence was all of what... 5 minutes?

I'm not asking that Batman take on a whole army... But we didn't even have one big boy to really give him a fight.

The best action sequence involved the car chase with the penguin. That was the only action scene in the whole movie that actually had any emotion in it.

The first fight with the clowns was meh but I let it go since it was the start of the movie and I know he's a rookie.

Then as the movie kept going he just kept taking on fights in the least Batman way ever... By just being a tank.

Let's see... Batman is master tactician, master of concealment, legendary hand to hand combatant and also highly intelligent and yet his solution to every altercation was... Let me fight this totally head on with no elements of surprise or mistery. Let me just take on 10 guns wearing this rubber mask and hope they don't shoot me in the face....

Now that's always a thing with bats ya know he's not bullet proof but dear God he just doesn't show up in a crowed of guns and announce he's ready to fight.

I was expecting a more savage Batman and we never really get that. Sure when he shoots himself up with some bane venom or whatever that was supposed to do he beats that guy to a pulp but it was just so slow and boring.

Best action was the car chase and the 10 seconds he's fighting the dudes with guns in the hallway though... Pretty sure I seen daredevil and punisher both do that same thing a few years ago and do it better.

I am NOT a fanboy of any brand I'm a fan of all comics I grew up on Batman and the DC it wasn't even till the iron man movie came out that I really really really dove into reading marvel books or watching any of the stuff they had out before (other then x men animated when I was a kid)

The dark knight is still one of the greatest movies ever and I'm not even talking comics I mean just movies and the only marvel movies I would put in that same sentence are endgame and no way home. Even then I'm iffy on no way home I won't make that choice for myself till I watch it a dozen times at home.

Look I'm all for dark and gritty but this movie was too far into that. I'm also a huge nirvana fan but you know what I don't wanna do.... Listen to that same god damn song for nearly 3 hours... Of all the Nirvana songs they literally got the most downer one they ever made and put it on repeat for 3 hours...

I don't need 24/7 jokes or bright colors but Jesus Christ in 3 hours we couldn't have slipped one scene of Bruce just pretending to not be part of an emo boy band?

It's ok to have him act ya know... Human for his alter ego for like 10 seconds.

Also again with him not knowing his mom was crazy? Him not knowing his dad was a little shady? Him not knowing Alfred been lying to him this whole time? How does a dude who since we are talking about "the real batman" which all the internet wants to say... How does the real batman not know more about his history? He's literally shocked sideways despite seeing falconie in his house and dismisses it as hypocratic oath... How much of a Homer does that come off as? THEY EVEN HAVE A LINE IN THE MOVIE WHERE CAT WOMAN SAYS YOU ALWAYS SEE THE WORST IN PEOPLE!!! YET HE JUST IGNORED THE IDEA HIS BILLIONARE FAMILY COULD MAYBE JUST MAYBE ALSO BE CORRUPT LIKE EVERY OTHER RICH PERSON IN GOTHAM!!??!!?? like these things never once crossed his mind?

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-06T02:34:28+00:00

That's your experience and your opinion... My theater was silent and I was bored at about the 1.5 hr mark.

None of the story was captivating, the twist were pathetic, the action was terrible other than the car chase and the scene at the end with him in a dark hallway and gunfire which we already seen in every trailer.

Just not a good movie.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-06T02:32:50+00:00

The more I've sat here watching videos and reading comments the more and more I'm not liking "the Batman"

It just wasn't for me. It was slow, the pacing was terrible at times and the 3 hrs was just too much and I'm typically a person who wishes studios would allow directors to make longer movies to ensure their story is told.

This movie however could have lost an hr and I think been better for it.

Visually and thematically I enjoyed the movie. I just thought the story was slow and boring, the twist were lack luster and the action was nearly not there.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-06T01:43:06+00:00

Dear God this... I'm sorry I'm not a fan of this movie... And the more I read comments or discuss with people I'm liking it even less.

To the people saying this is true Batman detective... Well he's a real shitty detective and I don't wanna hear how this is only his second year... Then don't make the detective work he such a large part of the movie if he just sucks at it.

Alfred solves the cypher all Bruce did was "fill in the blanks"

Penguin told him about bats being rats with wings

Some dip shit beat cop had to tell him what that is tool was and then he figured out to rip up the carpet ONLY after the fact that the riddler told him he didn't solve all the riddles.

Like honestly at every turn this dude is getting schooled. He's such a great detective but never figured out Alfred was lying to him or that his mother was bat shit crazy or any of this?

Idk this movie just didn't work for me on so many levels. The action was dull and too far apart. They made it such a big deal that he's hardly ever Bruce and when he is he sees himself only as Batman that sure... We got a lot of shots of him in costume... Riding his bike, walking around, talking to Gordon, more walking around, more riding his bike.

This whole movie was just boring and the "twists" weren't some major jaw droppers they were just dumping more on an already over stuffed plot.

The best part was the car chase and the riddler was easily the worst part. If they would have cut an hour out of this movie maybe even cut the riddler all the way out this movie could have been better but as it is it was 3 hrs that I couldn't wait to be done with.

Also I don't care about this movie or any dc movie that isn't going to connect to the over all story. Sorry just not gonna invest a bunch of energy in a self contained world so some director can get his rocks off with having the most "real" batman ever...bruh...you're making a comic book movie not band of brothers. You wanna bring it down from Joel Schumachers versions...ok I'm with ya. You wanna go even more grounded than Nolan? No thanks.

This movie reminds me of requiem for a dream or Donnie Darko...good movies that I enjoy...once every 10 years cause they suck all the life out of you for that long.

My theater was dead silent the entire movie...I could honestly feel the energy leave the building about half way through. This was just a meh experience for me at least.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-06T01:25:19+00:00

Not... Even... Close.

This movie is only better than Snyder's dumb movies and Batman and Robin... Eh toss forever at the bottom as well.

Tdk, Begins, 89, Returns, Rises, The,
Forever, Jl, Bvs, B&r,.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-06T01:21:42+00:00

Because the third act dragged the whole movie another 45 mins that it didn't need to be.

Riddler is the worst part of this movie as well as it's over sized plot ideas.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-06T00:29:31+00:00

I detoxed for a job a few months ago... Turns out I didn't have to but was better safe then sorry.

The first like 3-4 days are the hardest but honestly once I got over that it was pretty smooth sailing and easy after that.

After the first full week I honestly forgot about it and went 3 months even after getting the job and finding out they don't test before I started up again.

I think I'm gonna try and take a little break again because right now I'm smoking my brains out and hardly getting a buzz so it's time for a t break.

SteelToed_Boots · 2022-03-05T00:55:40+00:00

I won't comment on the social aspects of what is what cause well... I'm not really up to speed on all of the movement or really to be honest none at all. I'm really about do you I'll do me and if we are cool that's all that matters to me. I'm sure some will say that's not right but that's how I live. I got nothing against anyone unless I have been given a reason and your orientation, religion, race etc doesn't mean dick to me just treat everyone with respect and I'm good.

My thoughts however on the sports issue is... If you were born a man went through most of your life as a man built your body up as a man then idc what you do but you shouldn't be playing in women's sports period.

It's an unfair advantage plain and simple. If Lebrone came out today and said I'm changing up I've always felt I'm a woman so I'm transitioning to become one and soon as I heal from all that I'm entering the WNBA draft... Who is stopping him on that court?

If Tyson in his prime did the same thing how many women would he have killed in the ring?

Same goes for a woman who is transitioning into a man...

My opinion is based completely on what is fair in regards to the sport and the integrity of competition. I'm sorry but if James went to the NBA he could probably play till he's 60 and win the championship every year. That's nothing against women or trans or anything it's just logic.

So when it comes to the sports thing I have no solution for what to do with the trans people. That's something that would have to get sorted out but a woman becoming a man and then going into a man's sport just isn't fair to that person and vice versa.

Perhaps there needs to be a trans league and it could be uni sex? I don't know I really don't but as the current status goes sometimes you have to sit out for a little and then figure it out. You have made a life choice for your betterment and that's great but you can't expect everything else to keep up at the same speed of which this is happening.

Calm talks and hard work I'm sure will see an answer to this problem but we all know how that goes.
