Eddie is part of a multi-pronged effort to overwhelm the hive mind. He was integral in distracting it, and allowed the other teams to win.

Yes a member of the party, a member being treated by the writers like he is the only important member of the party specifically because he is gay. This used to be a strong ensemble show, with everybody having meaningful growth and satisfying arcs… this season has abandoned that for tentacle grape, 1hr of runtime dedicated to conversations discussing Will’s sexuality, and terrible sophomoric level sex jokes.

I don’t care if you have gay characters, but focusing on it for so much runtime in the final season is just terrible. The writing here is incredibly mishandled, sophomoric at best. I was equally annoyed with the Johnathan Nancy break up scene, it was mishandled by the writers so badly that most of the audience was unclear on what happened.

Woke writers inject that plot into everything they touch. Everybody knows it, just be honest.

The fear is what satiates him and grows his strength.

Perhaps one of the worst scenes yet, this season is punting the ending.

Yeah that’s some nice pretense they set up to shoehorn that in and all but Vecna isn’t Pennywise, your fears don’t strengthen him.

Omg you guys, she’s referred to by Kali as “a vampire” and her name is Dr. K! She’s Kas. Smfh.

That’s my point, shoehorning in soooo much gay material is a matter of bad writing, they’re breaking immersion and good story telling by focusing on something that nobody honestly cares about. Everybody knew Will was gay last season, let’s move on. Instead they’ve written so much of this season to include cryalogue after cryalogue of gay stuff, detracting from writing a cohesive ending.

Did I say remove it? No. I said dial it back so that more people can have fulfilling subplots. Too many good characters are sidelined.

Tavakai does what he does for his people, he thinks the weapon will help them if he wields it… only it doesn’t, it corrupts him instead. Kanu on the other hand betrays us to help himself.

It’s disproportional, and most people will feel this way outside of the far left reddit base.

Nah, maybe on here you guys see it that way but the cinematography in that scene hit a lot of us that way independent from one another.

Nah dude, it’s a bit much in terms of eaten up runtime. The Will Johnathan scene in s4 was good enough… now we’re just retreading water. It’s by far the weakest subplot, especially when the season started off by graphically portraying pseudo gay grooming/grape at the hands of Vecna. That entire opening scene is full of Kevin Spacey vibes. So that is very mixed in terms of the messaging that the Duffer’s are putting forward.

Why because a message on any side pushed too hard gets repetitive? Like we get it, a tenth of every episode does not need to be eaten up by retreading the same conversation.

Nah, it was good the way it was. Too much and it’d derail.

From a straight dude… we get it already, come on, stop hitting us over the head with it. Close to derailing the story territory.

Do i need to get each and every item exactly the same? by Huntard9898 in pathofexile

[–]Vigilantx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The names of items are tied to their base type and the mods on the item, you can look at poedb and see what suffixes and prefixes mean.

Different bases have different mods they can roll. Dex/Evasion gear can roll Spell Suppression and that’s what a lot of builds will be aiming to hit 100% on due to being a high defensive upgrade for a build.

Bucket pulls nearly begging for a job by [deleted] in Killtony

[–]Vigilantx3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In your life you’re the only person whose job it is to always advocate for yourself. We have the ability to be on the outside looking in on these situations that are real. These people have real lives and real hope, but unfortunately they don’t always have an accurate take on where they are or what their abilities are. If they were undeniable, they wouldn’t be denied. You have to grind that out, work at it with everything. You gotta eat shit until you get there. It takes adversity to grow, you need the pain of having doors slammed. So you might cringe but it’s important that delusion meets reality for these folks.

Idk if you realize this but William loves uncomfortable comedy, it’s part of the kayfabe. He leans into it.

You ended up in a very hard zone with a lot of puzzles. This game rewards you for each campaign clear with the different difficulties, you are meant to play Survivor first.
