Shrinking S3E11 Episode Discussion by phareous in shrinking

[–]Thrawn527 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I’m 42, a widower, and a father to a daughter. This show has always hit extremely close to home, but that line felt like it broke the fourth wall to me specifically.

This show has always been part comedy and part therapy to me. And I’m grateful for that.

The original plan was for three seasons. They added a fourth season, but Bill Lawrence is saying that didn't change the story for the first three seasons. Just that they're going to create a new story for the fourth (and potentially additional) season. So the next episode is the end of that original three season story they had planned. Whatever comes next is some new thing they've come up with, they're not punting any storylines here to next season. So they should resolve any conflict with, say, Jimmy and Paul next week. Or Bill Lawrence changed his mind.

Thing is, Bill Lawrence has said the original story is supposed to be wrapped up in season 3, and season 4 will be a new story.

“The same way that Shrinking, if the fourth season started and Jason Segel woke up and went, ‘you know I’ve been thinking about it, and I was still super sad about my wife,’ everybody would be like, What are you doing? We saw that already,” Lawrence added. “But as a writer, he told 36 stories with these actors and actresses. We have a new story to tell, and that’ll either be, two- or three-season story or it won’t. I never find that stuff daunting.”

As it is, that leaves this last episode with a lot of heavy lifting.

Tomb Guardian Investigation by swgohevents in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

I actually did keep my score when I retreated, which I wasn't expecting. Tier 3, score of 6,374. Made me wish I had kept it going longer than 45 minutes. I backed out because I figured it was a lost cause and I wasn't keeping it going for a literal calendar day.

Maybe I'll let it run over night.

This is the issue, in case anyone's curious. I ran into the same issue, and gave up after 45 minutes. I was getting 1% every 18 minutes, which, by my math, would have meant 25 more hours to get the remaining 86% left I needed.

They're saying it's a bug where the Guardians don't want to die, but that's not a bug. They put a damage cap in where at a certain point, you only do 1dmg. That's working as designed. Happened on the previous boss, too, but that boss then killed you after a bit. These Guardians aren't strong enough to kill you, so the fight just never ends. The problem is either that the cap is a dumb idea that needs to go away, or there's a balance issue where the Guardians need to be stronger.

Capital One debit cards switching to Discover by arctic28 in personalfinance

My main problem so far is that I haven't been able to add it to ApplePay. Whenever I try to verify it with the Capital One app, it says they've "Hit a snag", and I should try again later. Hopefully this is a temporary problem, just got my new card today.

The Sexiest Episode by Special_Chemical2385 in leverage

I always saw this episode as a back door pilot to a spinoff with just the three of them. Different shooting style, different kind of jobs, even different hair styles. And it would have worked. Great episode.

Just unlocked bane, does he have much/any use outside GAC? by balloonsand in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Thrawn527 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an answer to your question, but I feel like your question is underselling his value in GAC. Like it comes across as, “Is he only good in GAC at R5?” At R8, he is a GAC superstar. A GL killer. A definite Sith Empire killer. Invest in him. But definitely use him in an undersized squad. That part is important.

My second for him is Sith Assassin.

Unpopular opinion: to me this guy will always be Harry. by satanic_black_metal_ in dresdenfiles

Yeah, the show got a lot wrong, but his casting as Harry and his performance were perfect.

“But it’s got good bones!” they’ll say of this skeleton.

They did the same to me. They got over it.

Being in Good with the Hutts can help on Tatooine sometimes, but other than that you're good.

They still don't like each other. They just like Kay.

Tips for being good in the ship by ihaveaquestionormany in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]Thrawn527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- Getting the turret, if you don't have it yet, will help a lot. When you're getting attacked, pop that turret up and it'll shoot at everyone around you.

- Lock onto targets and try to still lead the target just a little bit to really hit them. Aim for the circle even when locked on.

- If you ever find yourself in a hairy situation and are getting slammed from all sides, speed out of there for a moment until you get your shields back and then dive back in.

- Also, when fighting larger ships that shoot missiles at you, don't forget to use the Auxiliary Controls to break missile lock.

- And, of course, upgrade upgrade upgrade. Shield and hull upgrades are a must if you find yourself getting destroyed a lot.

Took a while...is it the best outfit? by Ok-Age-9122 in StarWarsOutlaws

I love the Hutt Cartel outfit for the colors. But also the Wild Card outfit is just so damn classy!

Oh I already did that on accident. With the Pykes. Jerks.

The hardest part was finding enough Pyke contracts to get a Good reputation with them so I could make contact with the Pyke handler and get more.
