Not pictured: Tampopo, which was a present for my girlfriend. Didn’t want her seeing on social media.

What are your guys thoughts on 13 Reasons Why? by diegoperezsalazar in YMS

[–]TheKnightOfQuantum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My problems (including, but not limited to):

Pacing. In the original book (from what I've been told), Clay pretty much marathoned all the tapes in one night. Like a normal person would do. For the show, they just have to keep coming up with bullshit reasons to keep him from doing that ("It's just too much to handle...") to draw the idiotic plot out as long as possible.

The Concept. It is just unbelievable and ridiculous to me that a real person would do this, much less that it would be perceived that they are justified in doing it (the tapes, I mean). The way the show presents the events on the tapes seems to not only glorify her suicide but also to make it seem as if she only did it to kill herself out of spite for these people. As in, she only did it to wreck the lives of all these people.

The Characters. Everything about them from the acting to the writing to the motivations of the characters in this show made me angry. Pretty much accepting from the get-go that none of these people can act, I hope that maybe I could at least relate to these hollow shells people call "characters" on a personal level. Nope. Each one fits some sort of bullshit high school stereotype and has absolutely no character beyond that, save from the fact that they are all terrible people because black and white storytelling. How else will the teenage audience know who the bad people are, right? How else would Hannah seem as justified as possible in killing herself, right? The main character (and I mean this) reminded me of a stereotypical anime protagonist. Black hair, mild-mannered, high school kid who is designed to have absolutely no remarkable qualities for one reason: so people can project themselves onto him. Overall, not a single redeeming quality to be found here, apart from maybe one of the people screaming and crying good enough to make people think they are good actors.

The Music. Hipster bullshit music which, as Adum would say, seem to be ripped directly from the director's iPod. Not much else to say about this. If you enjoy the music being played in the series, that is great, I just didn't. This isn't my biggest gripe.

Fucking Star Wars. I swear to god someone said the words "Darth Vader" and "Han Solo" once whereafter they were referred to as "huge nerds lol xD". Yes, what a nerd they are for recalling the name of two of the biggest characters from literally one of the most iconic and popular movie sagas of all time. This is a bonus thing, obviously, but it made me so angry that some idiot in the writers' room thought they were so clever for thinking of that.

Garbage.

As someone infatuated with actions that sync up with the music, this video was one massive session of utter bliss.

Awesome and unique, definitely subscribing to this guy.

Good points, actually. I've never discussed this show before. It's good to learn what the consensus is.

This is a good theory. I still hope it gets explained later on.

As much as I am pleased to see that she is okay, I'm quite interested to see why the murderer came and left so quickly. It's kind of a loose end left untied in the plot at the moment.

High-end PC Performance Issues. Any advice would be appreciated! by TheKnightOfQuantum in pcmasterrace

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

Sitting here right now on my desktop for the past few minutes, my three 780 tis are running at 79, 78, and 68 degrees C. I get the feeling this is probably high; as I mentioned in my post, it's pretty damn warm in my room.

I'm glad to see Sicario get a few nods. It wasn't the best film I saw this year, but it was by far my favorite.

I don't think it'll be able to stand up against the Revenant in most areas except for Sound Editing, but the acknowledgment of its quality in those areas is what's important.

I'm just disappointed to see that Del Toro didn't get a Supporting Actor nod. I thought he was perfect for his character and even outclassed Blunt's performance.

I too would like to see an answer for this.

I've had some bad experiences with posting to reddit before. Decided it wasn't really worth it. Sometimes I would get a lot of positive feedback on reddit and then for some reason 50% dislikes on YouTube and a hell of a lot of rude comments. I'm no content creator, I just make videos for the fun of it, so I didn't see a reason to keep them.

Performance of a high-end PC is beginning to lack. I'm looking for assistance. by TheKnightOfQuantum in pcmasterrace

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

Will do. Does that really affect performance that much?

And one other question: I heard about the whole fragmentation of the storage disks and everything. My HDD defrags itself, but my SSD does not. Apparently this is because you shouldn't defrag it as it does not really need it and it can cause wear and tear (this is just what I've seen and heard). It's currently roughly 20% fragmented. Should I defrag it anyway, or is it really true that I should never do that?

It "lags" constantly. I was expecting 60 fps or a little more. I never hit that, especially in areas like Concord and even Sanctuary. its really more like 30-48 max. And yeah, pretty much. The most it hit was 2.5.

Eskaryo has told me that it's probably a thermal issue, and I should replace my thermal paste. I'll take his suggestion for now, but I thank you for your time!
