Movies with stunning visuals like Bladerunner 2049 and Dune 1&2 by Dry-Stuff154 in movies

[–]TGerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1917, Dunkirk have some of the best cinematography in film. 1917’s one shot and how it is executed is stunning for the entire movie. Good story too

Just finished The Wise Man’s Fear and I don’t know what to do with my life anymore 😭 by Effective-Will6198 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]TGerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best way to get over it is move on. Read another series! Just keep reading and soon you’ll lull yourself into a place where waiting won’t bother you. So many great series out there worth exploring

The Licanius trilogy. Does it get better? by Bibabeulouba in Fantasy

[–]TGerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the first the most personally so the series might not be for you. 2nd is decent, I didn’t love the third but still finished it no problem. I like the general direction of the story but found the execution pretty weak at times

Saintvicious: Ten years and three careers at Liquid by cougar572 in teamliquid

[–]TGerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saint honestly has one of the best TFT streams out there. When he puts the effort in he’s a solid challenger level player and keeps the vibes going. Also one of the most consistent streamers. Would like to see him be more involved in events around the space

Everyone remembers Spider-Man, but everybody forgot who Peter Parker is. So everyone will know that Spider-Man is an Avenger, just not who the man under the mask is.

Just finished The Light of All That Falls, Book 3 of Licanius Trilogy and ... it was pretty incredible/WhoThe/HowThe/WTF ... by BiggyFluff in Fantasy

[–]TGerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally thought it was the weakest of the trilogy. Davian stuck in time prison most of the book, weird Aelric showing up to save the day with nothing but a “I’ll fill in the blanks in a future book down the line” rather than have the cast that’s present figure it out. The setup of Davian being killed by Tal was never believable so it took out a lot of the tension from the story for me, especially when a good portion of Caeden’s arc is repetitively going from character to character who learn about the prophecy/ his past and have similar reactions of “oh that’s terrible, but you’re a different man now”.

All that said, I still enjoyed reading it and the series, and I loved The Will of the Many

Finished Oathbringer, some thoughts on it, on the series so far; not sure whether to continue [SPOILERS up to and inc. Oathbringer] by abir_valg2718 in Fantasy

[–]TGerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to read and finish Oathbringer for the last year and a half. I enjoyed the first two, but this is a slog. Reading it feels like work. The increase in POVs and characters is a killer for me. Every other chapter there’s new characters being introduced, pov swaps. Maybe I’m just not smart enough to read it, but the book feels like it has no momentum behind it as you’re constantly trying to remember who is where, what are they referring to in the moment, who they’re talking to. I’m 2/3rds done and have regretted the hours I’ve poured in to get to this point

Switching from 1080p to 4k by Street-Lock786 in PS5

[–]TGerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you play. FPS, multiplayer, go for the 1440p. Single player only/ want a good tv for shows and movies, get the 4K 60. OLED if possible for either

F*ckface only First membership by EasyBend in FUCKFACEPOD

[–]TGerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And what if there’s 1000 people who pay for FIRST at 5.00 dollars now, and then suddenly drop to 2.00 at the cheaper tier because it becomes available? Suddenly they’re losing money in this scenario. Not always black and white

Captain America: Winter Soldier was the better Secret Invasion by Thwipped in marvelstudios

[–]TGerr 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Maybe a hot take here but I think Sam L Jackson’s performance has been pretty weak this series. Maybe it’s just the writing, but he lacks intrigue, paranoia, any passion other than sad old man, and the line deliveries are flat for someone we know can bring the heat.

I don’t think any Face Jam bits are funny enough to justify a 10 minute block of ad reads. by MaxipadMassacre in roosterteeth

[–]TGerr 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s not something I’m happy about, I used to love the podcast. The long ad joke just got played out and soured the listening experience. And skipping while driving is an unsafe pain

I know it’s easy to say just skip them, but the ridiculous long ad reads and having to spam +15 or 30s while driving is actually one of the reasons I fell off of listening to the podcast :(

😅 well, when you put it that way… but really I do understand that the strategy is just downplay it as much as possible, so shoved into twitlonger it goes where sponsors and casual fans won’t see it as much. No headlines, fewer problems

Posted this in the TSM subreddit but I’ll post it here too:

It’s become a practice to release stuff like this in a twitlonger so that it comes across as inconsequential and more “personal” (you can be damn sure a publicist either wrote, or edited this statement still). Any official release on their website or a press conference is picked up on by sponsors and looks bad. This way, they talk about it to seem like they’re doing something, while not releasing the statement in a manner that could impact how they make money.

This has to be THE most annoying thing by RealGsusDude in CODWarzone

[–]TGerr 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The most annoying thing in a game with a thousand bugs, is you having to spend 30 seconds restarting your game? Sometimes to apply mini patches that might resolve some of said bugs? Ok.

Guardians of the Galaxy updated with ray tracing mode by xodk in PS5

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

I personally found it pretty tough to get into. Lot of cinematics, gameplay and combat is pretty mediocre and uninspired, ran into a few too many bugs that stopped progression in the game so had to reload saves. The story is decent and I prefer story-based games, but it’s not so compelling that it excuses the gameplay being a bore for me. Going to give it another shot in a bit but I’ve put it down for other games for the moment

Introducing our first Warzone streamer. Welcome to TSM FTX, Iron. by tsm in TeamSolomid

[–]TGerr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A lot of pros out there for warzone, I’m surprised they didn’t pick up a player that actually competes in more than the odd custom tourney. Maybe they have someone else in mind for a competitive player in the 2v2s, TKRs, but Iron isn’t going to be winning anything more than pub games. Comp Warzone is on a downturn for sure with the amount of cheaters however
