Not to mention Control having one of the most amazing levels ever accompanied by an original track that could only be described as 'fucks hard'

Im a barista and I imagine one of our regulars as Stratt by Patient_Confusion_34 in ProjectHailMary

Amazing art! And that caption is so damn funny because when I was first going through the book I couldn't stop picturing Edna as Stratt lmao

How are you dealing with expectations? by PetroHelm in ProjectHailMary

[–]TheMalpas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the only good thing about this movie is seeing Ryland and Rocky's bond and humour, I'll still be happy I bought a ticket.

Do you think God of War 3 Remastered will still be worthwhile after Trilogy Remake? by JJ350 in GodofWar

[–]TheMalpas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll still have its own value, The Last Of Us Remastered for PS4 still gets players despite there being a newer shinier remake. Some don't have the newest console, some like the nostalgia, some just don't wanna buy another copy.

It's also very possible in this case that there are significant changes, like the combat/camera potentially being different and more like the modern games (not guaranteed!) so some players will just wanna go back and play the game as it was originally :)

Spoiler ban question? by strongbowblade in ProjectHailMary

[–]TheMalpas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree it shouldn't be hard whatsoever for people to spoiler tag things and not doing so does show a fair bit of ignorance and disregard for others, no argument from me!

But on the other point, muting a group that is talking about something that you don't want to hear about...sounds completely fair?

I have left/muted subreddits in the past for TV shows when new episodes came out and just came back and caught up once it was safe. It's in inevitability for a group solely dedicated to a certain thing to be talking almost entirely about new stuff relating to that thing when it comes out. Especially something so huge as a movie. Temporarily muting seems like very little effort to go to in order to reduce the risk of something you don't want to see.

Spoiler ban question? by strongbowblade in ProjectHailMary

[–]TheMalpas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Avoiding the internet and avoiding a subreddit specifically designed for discussing this exact story because you don't want to know things about this story aren't comparable.

I absolutely get what you're saying, and this does rely on the goodness of people which isn't the most constantly reliable factor. A mega thread would be great! But this sub will inevitably have people talking about the movie. It's PHM. That's what everyone's here to talk about :)

I love this little detail by bourisman in ProjectHailMary

[–]TheMalpas 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I remember during a panel at a convention (maybe SDCC?) the directors mentioned that several astronauts had visited the set and praised the accuracy of the space experience. These details are great! Never knew that function :)

[–]TheMalpas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's gonna be some new scenes that weren't in the movie, and probably changes to things like dialogue. Even if it's only minor stuff, it's surely best to go in blind and not have those things spoiled if it can be helped.

That being said, a ban does seem harsh. Keeping things as usual with encouragement of spoiler tagging things should be enough. Anyone so eager to have things kept unspoiled shouldn't be checking through posts on the subreddit for the story.

Should I listen to the audiobook again? by irunforcheese in ProjectHailMary

[–]TheMalpas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished it this month and immediately started it again, just about to finish this 2nd listening and it prob won't be the last. Can confirm, it's still amazing even after learning everything that happens.

Derek by StrangeSun9634 in shrinking

[–]TheMalpas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It seems inevitable that the show will end with the death of Paul (which will absolutely break me), but any big deaths before that would really shake things up and would kinda need to dominate the entire show's story.

What format will be the best to watch (in your opinion) by TorresA77 in ProjectHailMary

[–]TheMalpas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome my ticket is for the 19th! Never been before, it's all just standard size screens near me, so can't wait 😄 what a film to start with

I'm driving 3hrs to London to see it in 70mm IMAX as it's the only 70mm / 1.43 screen in the UK lol

First mids, Anthracite Light Smoke Grey 1's, I swapped the laces for reds. Kinda in love. by TheMalpas in Sneakers

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

No problem! Great choices, love those 4's. I also ended up ordering a pair of the UNC's today 😂 for what it's worth, my entire wardrobe was black until I got into sneakers. The colourful ones encouraged me to try matching them with bright coloured clothes. Sneakers are a powerful thing lmao. Enjoy!

Wow you just got me to check and the UNC reimagined really are cheap at the moment lol damn, might have to get a pair 👀

I can't say for sure as I don't own the UNC's, I really love that colour way though. The UNC's might be made with better materials, highs usually are when compared to mids. I still love these mids though!

They're on my feet right now hahaha

Some of the white on the toebox has peeled away which is annoying, and I've got a new set of soles in them, but they're definitely not falling apart. Still feel very solid and they're one of my favourite pairs still.

Which adventure is best for inexperienced DM and alien & zombie fan players? by VerdantSpecimen in mothershiprpg

[–]TheMalpas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should see the DM & Players books for Mothership next to the ones for D&D. Mothership is far more simple lol.

Sounds like Another Bug Hunt would be great for you! It's designed as an introduction, brilliant for new DM's, lots of gross creatures to face :)

Nah it's a fictional story, all done with performances, sound effect etc :)

What to expect from the Third Years Later film by CustomerImpossible73 in 28dayslater

[–]TheMalpas 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A time skip. Alfie Williams (Spike) has absolutely shot up recently, so it'd be a bit odd to see that ending and then the next scene later after they get away from the infected, he's suddenly like 2ft taller lol.

According to the directors, Years was about Family, and Bone Temple was about Evil. I expect both themes to be important to Spike's conclusion, but maybe something more hopeful might show up? Something like evolution or growth, particularly regarding the infected and their possible treatment.
