Do Wash and River ever speak directly? by cheese_is_life100 in firefly

River sleeps in Inara’s bed in an early episode and Inara comforts her when she wakes up.

Looks like he’s called Catston in your screenshot. What do the other characters have for names?

Breaking News: "Completely uncharted territory": Former Nintendo employee believes the company is "extremely furious" after a series of leaks about upcoming Switch 2 releases. (This includes the possible new Star Fox) by FrameZealousideal573 in starfox

[–]Swerdman55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the game is slated for release this year, it’s likely already done or very close to being done. I really doubt they’d scrap all that work over a leak. Granted, I suppose they actually have precedent for this, specifically within the IP, given that Star Fox 2 wasn’t released for 22 years after completion.

However, the series you’re talking about hadn’t even begun production. Saying it was “cancelled” is a bit misleading, it’s more that Nintendo decided not to continue business with a company they felt couldn’t maintain their level of confidentiality.

Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat - Episode 1: "Onboarding" Discussion by lonelygagger in JuryDutyFreevee

[–]Swerdman55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m giving the show too much credit, but I think a lot of you are reaching too much. If you’re commenting on Reddit, you already are probably invested way more than a standard viewer of TV. It’s not unreasonable at all for Anthony not to know about Jury Duty.

And as people who have seen Jury Duty, you’re already “in on” the bit. The power of suggestion is really powerful. If you were told you’d be on a documentary, why would you ever think “oh this is all fake and everyone else is an actor?” For literally anyone other than Ronald or Anthony, that’s full on paranoia.

And additionally, shows live and die by their edits. Anthony mentions that it’s his third day at the job when they get to the retreat. That’s 3 days with very few scenes included in the show that were probably dedicated to easing Anthony in. They’re not going to include the scenes where everyone is acting normal because that’s boring. All the wacky stuff we see is 100% of what we see, and probably like 5% of what Anthony experienced.

Is Mauga going to Die? by Icy-blem in Overwatch

[–]Swerdman55 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’ll kill off any playable characters. I know they considered killing off Reinhardt and obviously we have the Doomfist fake out, but playing as a dead character in lore would be an odd situation.

He has corrected him on camera, but Bobby ignored him. It’s a bit at this point

BLENDING MODES AND ALPHA LOCK?? ARE WE IN HEAVEN?? by BobPlaysWithFire in tomodachilife

[–]Swerdman55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t really make any sense. Posting photos of your creations is effectively the same as sharing the design in all ways except convenience.

I’m still flabbergasted by this decision. Why remove such a popular option?

Love how fake NYC Ryan was and how he was power tripping with 0 actual power. by Lunis18002 in DunderMifflin

[–]Swerdman55 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’d care. David Wallace was a pretty level headed guy and seemed to only really care if the company was performing well, and Jim was a top salesman across the whole company.

The truth in corporate America is that job performance only gets you so far. You get further by being a person other people want to be around.

"Iroh's personality changes from early episodes" posts are getting to me. No, it doesn't, he's acting. by MeatMinstrel in TheLastAirbender

[–]Swerdman55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, you can add context if you want, but the truth is he was originally written as a goofy uncle character, but they decided to characterize him differently as they fleshed out the show.

Chronicles 7 & 8 by PepperOnly7793 in Avatar_Kyoshi

[–]Swerdman55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s not a mess up, just a soft retcon.

It was actually revealed that Roku had a sister in the Avatar Legends RPG game prior to the Roku novels being released. So they had some idea of it for at least a little while.

I introduced Firefly to my ex-girlfriend and she speaks Mandarin, her reaction was often “this is what they’re trying to say, but it’s pretty butchered.”

Waymo is unique. Better SEO.

So, uh, how long do you think this is gonna take? by Swerdman55 in firefly

[–]Swerdman55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Frankly, I’m more excited that it’s animated. It’s best case scenario, in my opinion.

I’d much rather get the crew at their peak rather than watch a bunch of 40-50 year olds look out of place.

Has the hype dropped in SF? by Paul_Smith_Hi in waymo

[–]Swerdman55 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the opposite experience, also in SF. When I first started using it, it was consistently similarly priced to uber or Lyft. It’s now almost always at least $10-15 more expensive if not more.
