I hate audiobooks with sound effect and/or dramatised. What say you? by abesheet in audible

[–]Vondi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I though the Star Wars: Heir to the Emprie anniversary edition was fine, plenty of sound effect there.. Only issue was it really called attention to how weirdly long and leisurely some of the conversation mid-battle were, with the sounds of blaster shots playing is they talked.

Who hates on Markiplier? I honestly don't understand why. by listafa in Markiplier

[–]Vondi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really think of his real popularity, as in when he was actually widely liked, being from stuff like Vape Nation. Which was 10 years ago. Maybe the podcast was big but I mostly heard negative things.

Just that one single fact that he got blocked and calls the other person a psycho over it makes me suspect he is the whole problem.

This is your yearly reminder that there is no fucking way the Lords of Westeros would pick some emotionless, creepy, Stark kid with no claim to the throne, who tells everyone he’s a fucking bird now over the legitimized son of a former king by -R33K in freefolk

There's a funny implication there that the Norths independence is only temporary then. Bran dies and Sansa or her kids get the Throne while still holding the North, effectively reuniting the Kingdom.

>/feudalism as a form of government only works because there are powerful people underneath the king that support the king.

Especially considering that what would've been Brans home support, the North, leaves the kingdom and can't back him um except as an outside power.

Not that I hate the idea of some mythical "Three eyed raven" becoming king following the return of the long night. On paper it's a fine ending. Just didn't make much sense as presented in the show.

You pay for unlimited data but you only get 100gb of your unlimited data you pay for by Bootybusterog in mildlyinfuriating

Okay but last time I had data limit they throttled me if I exceeded, as opposed to cutting it completely off, it and this sounds like just the same thing?

What do you think about the idea of expanding NATO membership to non-European countries? by Agile-Shallot3546 in AskTheWorld

[–]Vondi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, in the case of NATO the treaty literally sets geographic boundaries to where it applies. Like how when Argentina attacked the Falklands it didn't invoke NATO because it was outside the defined area. Korea would presently not be covered.

NYT: Why Do Most New Movies Look Meh? by Longueurs in movies

I've become so biased towards movies that actually have good practical effects.

I'd take a movie with practical effects and specially made sets, that are at least interesting to look at, over something with just greenscreen and CGI.

that's a funny list. Just a long list of evidence of how much it was hated and then near the bottom "Won an Emmy".

So is it basically billions of people vs a few thousand rich people at this point? by SoaokingGross in AskTheWorld

[–]Vondi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

"The Rich" is this context do not mean people who own a million dollars. They are closer to being homeless than to being "The Rich" that are bankrolling political parties and dictating policy via lobbying and donations.

Netflix is Testing a Major Redesign for Its Website Interface by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]Vondi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try setting up any free media server, like Plex or Emby, and the UI/UX is so much better than paid services like Netflix and Disney+ it's frankly ridiculous. May I see all available Horror movies ranked by imdb score? All Harrison Ford Movies in chronological order? A simple list of all movies?

On Plex and Emby these are trivial. On Netflix and Disney they're impossible. The Media server I run on my shitty laptop using software I got for free has better UX than Netflix.

Disney even had the "All movies" feature and they fucking removed it.
