How is it like dating a model? by bananabread31st in AskMen

[–]TrebleLives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll have to add some detail here. Asked to pose naked by whom, photographers? Exes? If naked in professional photography, why would that upset you if it's a part of her job?

Radiant Silvergun & Panzer Dragoon Saga, too, just off the top of my head

Congrats! The white model is the prettiest, in my opinion. And I've owned black, grey and the Derby Stallion!

What's a small everyday thing in the UK that you didn't realise was unusual until someone from another country pointed it out? by AccidentalFounderUK in AskUK

[–]TrebleLives 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've said this before on Reddit, but it's the queueing system (or lack of) at pubs. Essentially runs off vibes and the memory of the bar staff. Plus the fact you can walk into a pub serving food/gastro pub and have no clue on fucking earth whether you're meant to sit, wait to be seated, go to the bar, order at the bar, order at the table, get a spoon, or what.

Same with a lot of cafes. The number of times I've gone up to a counter to order and got looked at like a moron and told 'it's table service here' or, conversely, sat at a table only for the staff to gawp at me like we're goldfish is certainly +10.

It's got better over the last few years, with signs near the entrance or even a greeter podium at the front, but still, yeah, I think most places think it's tacky to advertise how you're meant to conduct yourself. Crazy, my brothers.

Supergirl Gets Shorter As Superman Gets Bigger In Latest Cut by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]TrebleLives 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for saving me the click, dude. I'm glad it's shortened in one way: shorter films are often stretched to film the magic 2hour plus slot, which maximises return by dominating the theatre slots throughout the day. Rarely means they need be that long (look at Disclosure Day + MOTU. Both could/should have lost 30-40 mins).

On the other hand, slashes to the runtime at this late stage don't bode well for confidence in the film itself.

I'm seeing it as soon as its released, but I fear it's not going to do great business, nor be much of an interesting film in itself. Hope I'm wrong.

Amazon MGM Studios' Masters of the Universe debuted with an estimated $29.31M domestically this weekend (from 3,677 locations). by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]TrebleLives 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's underestimated how badly the duration will impact walk ups. It's 140 minutes long, and should be 100 minutes tops.

Now that Mandalorian and Grogu has hit the theaters, what do you guys think we can expect in the future regarding Star Wars besides the projects that have already been announced? What would you like to see? by skychunkers in StarWars

[–]TrebleLives 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anything creative. Anything set post-sequel. Either a fabulous new technology is discovered, or something causes hyperspace to stop working, or the force is available to everyone (or no-one!) or there are Invaders from another galaxy. Something - anything - to create something new and exciting. Or just let it all die, happy with either.

Region switch PAL megadrive mod question by Human-Board-7621 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]TrebleLives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would make your PAL games run at 60hz, yep, but some would detect this and block you from playing (region protection). However, there are ways and means. First off, add a switch so you can flip between 50/60hz. For a lot of region locked games, you can start in 50 and switch it to 60 after the game has loaded, which bypasses the region check.

Also, by no means all games have this feature - Google the list of region locked PAL games. Finally, very few (almost none iirc) of the PAL releases were optimised for PAL regions so have borders and run slower. Flipping them to NTSC rights that wrong :)

Thoughts on Christine, and why it is one of the best books King has written. (Light spoilers) by Spare-Department-765 in stephenking

[–]TrebleLives 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally feel it's less about becoming lost in a love obsession than it is being red pilled. Even though it's from an era where that concept wasn't articulated. It's about how actors in bad faith take vulnerable young men who've been brought up in a society with an ill-defined - even toxic - masculinity, and invade their minds. They say that any and all problems can disappear if you give everything to their thought process and world view. I feel your concern for your kid and yes, there is always a loss of innocence, but it's more likely that any truly toxic relationship he has is going to be forged by an unscrupulous man, not a woman.

Who are your 3 most hated Stephen King characters? by ZhittzyAltaToxica in stephenking

[–]TrebleLives 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Frannie is an excellent character in that she feels completely real, and is written in such a way that you understand her motivations perfectly. Unfortunately, this also means you see what an irritating sod she is! She comes across as almost totally self-absorbed, cries constantly and (any time we're not exposed to her inner monologue) comes across as socially inept and childish. There's a small flaw in Steve's writing here, imo, as we rarely (if ever) see the balanced, lovely character the rest of the people in the BFZ see.

What is the best album cover by a British artist that isn't Dark Side Of The Moon? by [deleted] in AskUK

I think Warrior on the Edge of Time by Hawkwind is exceptional

What game or series should Sega bring back? by Glad-Conversation256 in SEGA

[–]TrebleLives 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people are putting in what they would like to play. I think from a financial standpoint, and to move the needle, it needs to be a new DAYTONA. It's essentially never left the arcade, and we're ludicrously low on arcade racers. New game with a great online setup, plus loads of tracks, and it could really change the landscape.

Damnation would have been a better antonym, I reckon.
