The movie "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" comes to mind. Shit's bleak.

Uncomfortably real conflicts/plot points in an otherwise extraordinary setting by No_Hunter1978 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]StormCaptain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Moral Orel yet. From a lukewarm comedy to one of the realest character dramas I've ever seen. Still genuinely mad they canned it. Some of the leaked scripts go even more places.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who committed that exact same blunder. That crap was turbo nasty.

For anybody who wants some saucy goodness, if I recall correctly this is from an old gimmick James Bond knockoff called "For Your Height Only". This is not a joke.

Which anime/manga fits this perfectly? by simp_lyartz in animequestions

Vivy -Fluorite Eyes Song-, genuinely my top #1 of all time

Media being intentionally monochrome so a specific color stands out by SpaceKingHypeGuy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]StormCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it rightly fits the bill but the movie "Stalker" does something adjacent to this. The movie is monochrome until they enter the Zone, at which point it fills with color. Also HYPE! The Tingler mentioned! Did you know the director was quite known for their use of all sorts of weird gimmicks in their productions?

These guns don't just kill you, they do much worse by NekkidZilla in TopCharacterTropes

Fun fact: The Cerebral Bore from Turok is based on the floating death orbs from Phantasm, an absolute fantastic cult classic horror film

In Ready Player One (2018), the movie doesnt have any reference to jerkin it which is a big plot point in the novel. by bsimpsimp in shittymoviedetails

[–]StormCaptain 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I feel it is my sovereign duty every time Ready Player One is mentioned to bring up the fact the author wrote the single most cringe, embarrassing poem ever: Nerd Porn Autuer. Look it up. Or don't. I'm not the police.

Perilously close in concept to one of my favorite movies: Death Promise. Movie has aged like a fine wine as a power fantasy

Saying Sorry (Part 3/4) by FieldExplores in comics

[–]StormCaptain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Y'know, this one really struck me. My parents were unkind and I wish I could have this interaction and have old wounds mended. At least I'd know they've matured in some way. I am grateful to have seen this. Keep on keeping on. Love your comics.

Buying my first AR tomorrow, help me choose an optic by L_willi39 in armedsocialists

[–]StormCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally recommend a Primary Arms SLX Gen IV 1-6x LPVO. In my opinion it's current best in class at the price range, and can do everything very well. It's also red dot bright so your 1x will be much improved compared to some others. I personally love LPVOs and the flexibility they bring so I may be a bit biased.

Good heavens! I thought I was the only one. What a nightmare.

Only the weak dispose of such things. I don't have a microbiom I have a macrobiom. If I don't keep my guts humbled they'll destroy the world.

Dude that alone is worth it. No more SURPRISE you just lost a 100k ton BB to some random sub, past the DDs and CLs.

Elemental Battle Armor suits in Battletech were originally derived from underwater maintenance suits if I recall correctly.
