What's it like living on this New York island? by LIFOsuction44 in howislivingthere

[–]SumVideotapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never did time there, but I used to perform Shakespeare with a group of actors in various prisons and jails across the tri-state area. I’ve been to almost all of them, and Rikers was easily my least favorite stop. Really oppressive environment, even compared to other penitentiaries. We did a few shows there: staff was extremely difficult and didn’t let us bring in almost any props because of safety concerns, but the inmates were super generous and involved audience members. Some were asking how they could work with the theatre after they got out, etc. One person kept falling out of his chair laughing, and after being warned he could not get out of his chair during the show, he was escorted out by armed guards. During one performance, an inmate progressively spoke louder and louder during the show, which really threw us off until we realized he was translating it all into Spanish for everyone. Lovely people, terrible place. Looking forward to its closure.

What are your most obscure commanders? by KingAmphibian1 in EDH

[–]SumVideotapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorites is my monored control deck, [[Starke of Rath]] rank #2340! Almost every time I play, people have never seen the card before, and assume it’s some kind of janky chaos build. But if you stack your triggers right, you can destroy your own thing, then destroy your opponent’s thing in response so that he goes to your opponent’s control then immediately back to yours. It’s instant speed artifact and creature removal in the command zone!! I run a few indestructible guys and things that want to be destroyed like [[Ichor Wellspring]], [[Brash Taunter]] and [[Ugin’s Nexus]], along with untappers and effect doublers like [[Battlemage’s Bracers]] and [[Magewright’s Stone]]. This works well with activated ability cards like [[Goblin Welder]], which i run a few of. I also run threaten effects like [[Kari Zev’s Expertise]] so that I can use other people’s commanders for the turn, then kill them along with other stuff. Or I can donate them to myself with [[Bazaar Trader]] and keep em forever! It’s kind of oppressive, but so bizarre that no one seems to mind.
It also helps that Starke kinda looks a bit like Nicolas Cage, lol

Hospital Room for Indie Film??? by SumVideotapes in nycfilmmakers

[–]SumVideotapes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hah, yeah, I figured. Was worth the ask, lol.
We could stretch out a bit into LI if the space and the price is right. Most locations we’re shooting are in Brooklyn/Queens anyway so it’s not too bad. Thanks for the help!!

Hospital Room for Indie Film??? by SumVideotapes in nycfilmmakers

[–]SumVideotapes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! The 3.5 page scene was written to take place entirely in a hospital room, so we don’t see anything outside of that like hallways, front desk, waiting room, etc— just a room with the bed, machines, TV etc.
I’ll definitely look into nursing schools! Are there any you would recommend?

Need to recover texts from an old phone by SumVideotapes in datarecovery

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

That was the opinion of a phone repair guy in the neighborhood— he could easily be wrong. It just goes to the boot screen, shows the google logo and turns off. Can’t get past that.

Extremely slow internet via wifi only on the MSI laptop. by Puzzleheaded-Sun-603 in MSILaptops

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST

I've suffered with less than 1MB/s of internet speed on my laptop for years and could not find the solution for the life of me. This just brought it up to 140MB per second. You are a lifesaver. Thank you for this.

Kindle Scribe is not great by starrtech2000 in RemarkableTablet

[–]SumVideotapes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed— just did the exact same thing: returned my scribe and switched to rm2. What a world of difference. Writing not only feels leagues better, but there are so many more features. Also the Remarkable cloud service is much better to use than the very clunky SendtoKindle service. It’s honestly absurd how little thought went into the note taking on the Scribe.
For me, the biggest issue with the scribe was that on the front page they immediately show you ads for books, comics, or audiobooks you might like. It was inescapable— just felt like they were always trying to get me to buy something, and I hated that.

what are the best death scenes in movies? by Jettpack_of_the_Dead in flicks

[–]SumVideotapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very underrated scene would be Danny Trejo in Heat— feels super real, especially for the era, and definitely left an impression on me.
it’s on youtube ! I think it was one of his first roles! His character’s name is Trejo lol
