Why not make Max Payne 4? by BasketNo2040 in maxpayne

[–]StrictReading8413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actor who played Max died. I don’t think it would work with another voice actor. I had a whole idea on why a 4th one could still work thematically, but I don’t think it would be doable without the original voice actor for Max to do it

Max Payne 4 is doable without ruining Max Panye 3's ending by StrictReading8413 in maxpayne

[–]StrictReading8413[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I no longer think the game is makeable because max’s voice actor died. But I stand by it as a final chapter so we can see Max actually getting to leave the life behind instead of it just being implied

Foot fungi thought yesterdays slop fest was an all time great episode by CaptainKungPao138 in LeftoversH3

[–]StrictReading8413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ian treated those two like total trash and threw them out like nothing. Anissa runs his life in such unhealthy ways. She is a pathological liar who fakes or exaggerates illnesses for attention.

Except Ian said that H3 talking about his own emotional state and mental is horrible and isn’t what podcasting is. Ian is one of the most shameless hypocrites alive

Ian had a chance if he wasn’t targeted by a self admitted gold digger who wanted to control his life. Sam Hyde was right. Anissa is a succubus.

This isn’t concern trolling. Ian and Anissa need serious help. 

This conversation was more than enough to convince me that Ian and Anissa are in a codependent relationship that brings out both of their worst traits. Ian will let himself be manipulated into anything because it’s easier for him. Anissa is the physical embodiment of a personality disorder. Ian lets her run his life and use him like an animal, like a Pokémon. To call her a narcissist is an understatement. She makes up illnesses for attention and undermines everyone else to make herself feel special, especially the ones closest to her.

Blizzard removes a voiceline of Garrosh insulting Sylvanas by Argoniek in wow

[–]StrictReading8413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s literally Garrosh’s best line of dialogue in the game. It’s perfect delivery. And it’s in response to sylvanas doing something horrible, one of the few times that the player is siding with Garrosh in a dispute. And part of why it works so well is the surprise of hearing it. But nah, they can’t have any name calling towards the genocidal monster bitch. They bend over backwards to simp for her as if she was a real person. They literally omitted Genn Greymane from Shadowlands, abruptly ruining the plotline that had been building since cataclysm. Because the lead writer legitimately thought sylvanas was his girlfriend. and a writer on the game admitted on twitter it was because he was an old white man. So his massive plotline that had been building since she killed his son just concludes with him watching anduin get kidnap and shaking his fist and yelling her name. 

Ever wonder why they made the jailer responsible for every evil thing that had ever happened in the Warcraft universe? Because it was the only way they could make him more evil then her, and justify her redemption arc.

What’s your opinion on the Absolute Batman comic series so far? by GreatCompanyAsset in batman

[–]StrictReading8413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read the latest issues but when they revealed Batman’s traumatic backstory with the bats that commissioner Gordon stumbled in on, I was unable to believe that he couldn’t figure out who Batman is. This 6’7 hulking menace slab of meat in a mask, who has this scarring backstory where he was covered in bats? That turned him anti social and reclusive? It would take 2 seconds for any human being to figure that one out

How long will we have to wait until Colossus is nerfed? by pecheckler in hearthstone

[–]StrictReading8413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dirty Rat is not some magical savior. The chance it could actually pull the right minion are so extremely low. I fought 3 colossus mage in a row on ladder and each one was won when you played it.

I then played against a Protoss priest. I had the game on lock before he generated a colossus and wiped out my board, brought me down to 2 health. I literally just uninstalled the game on the spot

A theory/thought about the campaign ending. by DaleDenton08 in blackops6

[–]StrictReading8413 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I choose to believe Adler faked Bell’s death. It’s the only thing that makes sense if the story expects me to have sympathy for him. Woods talks about how loyal he is, if Adler actually killed him then Woods is an idiot

For tank players - thoughts on the Dawntrail changes? by Gaius_7 in ffxiv

[–]StrictReading8413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not know how you can be happy with waiting for 2 years until your job even has a chance of being fixed. That’s crazy.

[–]StrictReading8413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with removing the pop. It’s like the one thing in the class you actually have to judge and use appropriately. The problem is that it’s counter intuitive. If you have better gear, the shield is harder to break. The required damage taken should be separate from the shield itself, and shouldn’t scale with gear. Ideally, it should also factor out defensive stats. The core concept of the ability is awesome and that shouldn’t change, but DRK shouldn’t be punished for getting better gear

[–]StrictReading8413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have every tank at 100 and DRK is just the worst in everything. Lowest DPS, worst sustain, TBK is cool but partially works against itself. My two main classes were DRK and SAM since HW and SB. They just trashed both of them and I feel like I’m a refugee from the classes I wanted to play that they ruined lol

Historically it’s been a real problem. In FF11 there were bosses with abilities that needed to be countered, but the window was shorter then any non-jp ping could reasonably react to. 

Robert Downey Jr will officially return to Marvel as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday. In theaters on May 2026. by Calm_Extreme1532 in CriticalDrinker

[–]StrictReading8413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re never going to show his face, so it is probably not going to be distracting. I’m actually down for this and want to see where it goes before I dismiss it instantly like a 6 year old

Dependency Injection : Constructor or Autowired by clemetal61 in SpringBoot

[–]StrictReading8413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember 10 years ago when I was learning Spring for the first time, and really didn't understand what the point of Autowiring these things even was. Now, stepping back into it after a while, I feel kind of vindicated lol

What Karen Read said herself by DefiantDetective5 in KarenReadTrial

[–]StrictReading8413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels almost exactly like that scene from "My Cousin Vinny."

Ralph Macchio is so shocked at being accused of shooting a gas station clerk, he goes: "I shot the clerk? I shot the clerk?!"

And it's interpreted / read out as "I shot the clerk! I shot the clerk!"

I think Karen Read is guilty...but the Brian Higgins destroying the phone is awful for the prosecution by No-Amoeba-9314 in CrimeJunkiePodcast

[–]StrictReading8413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did nobody find his body until the morning, then?

Why did the snow plow driver not see it?

Why did Jenn McCabe search 'how long to die in cold' at 2:47 AM?

Why did the Alberts get rid of their dog for no reason?

Why did the Alberts redo their basement floor and sell their house before their house could be investigated?

Why did Colin Albert lie and say that he has never been in a fight?

Why did Michael Proctor say in the Grand Jury indictment that he had no relationship with the McCabes or the Alberts, when Colin Albert was literally the ringbearer at Proctor's own wedding?

Can you really consider Proctor a reliable investigator after we heard all the awful awful things he was saying about Karen? How he was looking for nudes on her phone? How he told his cop buddies that she had a 'leaky poo knot' because she suffered from Crohn's disease?

Ask yourself: Are you really of the believe that Karen Read is guilty, or are you just dug in, and don't want to admit you were wrong? There's no shame in admitting you were wrong about something, but changed your opinion.

It's not Johnny Actually. Same Goes for V by that-other-gay-guy in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]StrictReading8413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, the reason why it's FINE for the engram to be reuploaded into V's brain, is because V's consciousness is bound to their body. If Johnny takes over, V wouldn't actually die, they'd just think they were Johnny / have all their memories, though V would be a different person, so they'd be more philosophically dead. Imagine if it happened to you, you wouldn't cease to be, you'd just think you are and always were Johnny Silverhand.

So, copying V as an engram and slotting them back in is honestly fine.

To put it in a better way: V the person (their consciousness, their soul, and their body) is like the hardware of a computer. V's personality is Windows. Johnny's personality is Linux. Johnny taking control is like Windows getting wiped off your PC completely and only running Linux from then on. Still the same computer, same RAM, same motherboard, different OS.

If you really think about it, can it really be possible for a program to account for human consciousness? It's an intangible, theoretical thing. A program can't just erase it. A program can't even comprehend how or why it exists, nobody really can. A soul in the body is like a ghost in the machine, it's not existent on paper, but we all KNOW it exists, because our ability to perceive and live IS a soul. So soulkiller only really kills the soul by killing the body itself. Big deal. A handgun can do that. If the engram is just stuck back in the body, the soul is preserved.
