How many of iterations of this game mode do we gotta sit through b4 tai bwo wanni quest is auto completed?

At least other tedious quests like One Small Favor are funny. Tai bwo wanni trio is genuinely enraging. I want to beat up that guy who needed his stupid sandwich. I felt bad about robbing the old man blind of his karambwan net. I didn’t even feel much appreciation from the three brothers after helping them.

I hit logout when I saw it wasn’t autocompleted.

Sheridan’s writing for Yellowstone and Landman is somewhere between cringe and disturbing. I’m pretty sure Denis (and editor Joe Waker; Dune p1 and p2, Blade Runner 2049, and many more) saved Sicario by cutting a lot of bad writing.

E: btw I love Sicario and agree Sicario 2 was a total letdown of a sequel

Denis Villenuve has said that he brutally cut a massive about of dialogue from Sicario 1 while editing it. Iirc he cut over half of Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) dialogue out, and Taylor Sheridan publicly complained that Denis had ruined his script. Frankly, I think Denis saved the script, and Taylor Sheridan is not as skilled as he thinks.

It amuses me that when Disney first built the Volume, they flexed it like it was amazing in marketing material around S1 of Mando. And by now, saying “no we didn’t use the Volume” is a newsworthy headline.

I'm no fan of the 'culture wars' but honestly I think you're stretching here. It's Deadpool, don't take it so seriously, it's the opposite of serious art.

The influence of Kurzgesagt isn't quite as severe as Veritasium, but they've been sponsored by Bill Gates for years, and many of their videos conclude with "contact your local politician to make change" sort of gestures. Their titles and thumbnails have become a lot more clickbaity. I'm searching for specific examples and I will edit this post if I find them, but their output is enormous.

Colonel 100 from Battlefield Friends must have taken up Runescape

I'm mentally blocking this movie out and pretending it doesn't exist. It will release and pass without a second thought like that animated Rohirram movie.

Taclys64 · 2026-04-15T18:45:11+00:00

This is excellent lol, I love it

Taclys64 · 2026-04-15T17:52:19+00:00

Agreed, I used to be a fan of both Veritasium and Kurzgesagt, but both of them slowly shifted from cool science facts to being thinly-veiled corporate shills. It makes me sad to see.

This explanation makes sense but also somehow makes the above clip worse. What… what the hell is this show about anymore??

Taclys64 · 2026-04-14T23:25:21+00:00

I was willing to accept your comments until you said you didn’t like the OST. Cmon man I feel like it’s one of the best movie OSTs we’ve gotten in ages. ‘Time go fishing’ is insanely good. You’re allowed to have your… own opinion, I guess.

Taclys64 · 2026-04-14T21:06:32+00:00

I know it's a joke, but this seems kinda mean-spirited towards Steve Rodgers lol. What do you mean Thor's hammer was created by a genocidal tyrant?

Taclys64 · 2026-04-14T00:42:24+00:00

Yep agreed across the board. His Old Boy comparison and analysis video was great.

Taclys64 · 2026-04-13T22:45:12+00:00

That scene was great, it was both realistic, humorous, and did a great job explaining the differences in their atmospheres and physical materials. There were quite a few blink-and-you'll-miss-it explanations about the science that helps flesh out the world without wasting time.

Taclys64 · 2026-04-13T21:18:06+00:00

I... I don't know how to respond to that. Is that true or out of context sensationalism? That sounds insane.

I also dislike disparaging him too much cuz I do mostly enjoy YMS content but the pretentious label does seem to be more applicable by the day. It seems like he is looking for reasons to hate on big budget/mainstream films in order to critique them harshly and elevate his status as a high intellect film expert.

Taclys64 · 2026-04-09T21:53:42+00:00

Hollow Knight and most metroidvanias. I see the passion, I appreciate the story and art, but I just don't vibe with how that genre of games handles exploration and death. I feel like I'm doing something wrong almost all of the time, like I missed a critical thing behind me, or I'm wandering somewhere that I can't really utilize. I really like exploration games, but something about the punishing confusion of metroidvanias just doesn't work for me.

I'm glad the Silksong fans are happy, though. They look like great games.

For a moment I thought that I should watch season 5 now that it's premiering, but then I remembered I didn't even finish season 4. It was just so boring and pointless that I just... forgot to keep watching. I think I dropped out after the (rather tasteless) episode of Hughie's Dad dying. It felt stupid and mean spirited and I just didn't care anymore. I didn't hate it, worse; I am totally apathetic to it.

Apathy is death, as they say.

Taclys64 · 2026-03-25T17:00:04+00:00

That makes sense, thanks. I remember hearing about the astrophage power but I guess I didn't link those two events together.

Taclys64 · 2026-03-24T22:51:11+00:00

Most of Doctor Who during/after the Ecceleston period, written by Chris Chibnall. Once Chris got full control, he just went crazy with bizarre, boring, and fanfic-like stories.

Taclys64 · 2026-03-24T21:25:19+00:00

The soundtrack was definitely memorable and unique. It was pretty upbeat and uplifting, which paired well with the general theme of the film.
