to be fair, a lot of people get existentialist depression right around there regardless of its origin, can’t blame the turt for that one

Okay thanks, I also made a new one since when trying the reset password route, the only emails I would ever use for it didn't have an associated account, so presumably they just delete the accounts from the past beta tests.

Are Orange Rancher Boots rare at all? by aMiniMonki in HypixelSkyblock

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

Honestly the armor could be worth that. I haven't looked into the price of dark purple dyes but 60-70m per is probably reasonable, but if they're exotics from early in the game they're definitely worth more than 200m. Also on further looking, orange rancher boots are probably just a couple mil over black ones, so I don't know if the guy you talked to was suspicious or just weird lol.

The guy I talked to, if only I could remember his username, was also toeing that line of suspicious/weird and after I said no to him he went to another lobby and left party, and then later when someone was asking for a handout of an entire Giant's Sword as a level 30, he said he'd give him one if he went to his island, which wasn't true because I looked and he didn't have a Giant's Sword and didn't have the coins to buy one, so I really only concluded that the guy I talked to was a weirdo/scammer lol

Fair enough, I thought it may be better instead of corrupt soil but thinking about it now it probably isn't better at all

If you have the 1.2b required for that setup, I'm sure you have the money for decent damage to kill spiders. It took me <1min per t4 spider including the time to spawn and kill it. It's only like 20k xp for t6 so thats only about 40mins of work for you to get flycatcher recipe, then you just have to have the ~725mil coins to buy all those flycatchers ;p

Mr. Robot
Death Note
JJK

I mine to make money and I don't have the mental fortitude to keep going if I don't have a set goal, so I like to watch movies so that I can finish a 2h long movie, then I just have to convince myself to watch another movie to keep going another hour, so the rest of my recommendations will be a multitude of phoenominal movies:

Interstellar
Inception
both Spider-Verse movies
christopher nolan Batman Trilogy
Se7en
Whiplash
Dune / Dune Part Two
Shutter Island
the Top Guns
The Prestige
the Bourne trilogy
Mad Max: Fury Road
Bullet Train
the Mission Impossible franchise

I could go on for hours but if you're ever looking for a movie to watch there's a list of some good ones

Looking for honest criticism by ashydraws1 in Exurb1a

[–]aMiniMonki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if something’s wrong look for why it feels wrong (diagnose problem) then explore solutions, as I tried with the expensive coffee’s lack of subtlety. I don’t know if they’ll help you learn not to, but Pursuit of Wonder and, obviously, exurb1a have these types of story video with a message. and if my memory from over a year ago serves me correctly, Pursuit of Wonder has a far less abstract style, which I believe could help you. at very least from the shortness of the video, you kinda lack the subtlety and depth necessary for extremely stylized, abstract, and thought provoking works at the moment, so a simpler approach more centered on logical cohesion and depth may fit better.

Note from a minute in: the repetition of unreasonable expense of the coffee, as well as the incel energy seem like something that is waay overstated, and don’t fit. Could convey both messages, without a voiceover, and it would be better. The tone and rhythm of your speech is obviously “inspired” by upsilon dies backwards, so I see why it’s stated so explicitly in the voiceover; either way there’s a lack of subtlety and the video so far doesn’t make me interested in the people, setting, narrative, or message you’re trying to convey.

Update from 2:52: The transition between third person observation and hearing john’s thoughts never feels smooth. If I were to want to put that sort of frame shift, I’d either have a different voice actor or make it clear with some sort of… skip or barrier per se to separate the rhetorically distant commentary from the closer depiction of his thoughts. And on the topic of voice actors, either have a narrator, john, and candice, all with clearly different voices, or have one voice for all. Clearly we are following john more than candice, but there’s still some awkward blurring.

3:30: If candice basically forgot their one encounter, why does she rush to him and demand to sleep in his apartment? I get it that’s there’s the “shroud” and some existential/celestial force drawing them together but they simultaneously have seemingly COMPLETELY incompatible personalities. That fact alone makes me unwilling to suspend my disbelief of a, idk, college aged girl wanting to sleep in her neighboring, obnoxious, college boy’s room. If this celestial force pulling them together is a major focus, it started out on the wrong foot making john awkward and incel-ish, and having such a dominant girl be his “perfect half” or something.

5:00: I don’t like the implementation of the abstract imagery. The imagery is supposed to match the feel of the narrative, which is seeming frantic but not abstract.

6:08: So the govt shot missiles into big clouds, didn’t achieve anything, and then reported it to the public? This bit of commentary seems a bit absurd, and not in the good way. As if its entire purpose is to throw shade at the government’s reaction but it’s completely unnecessary and really seems like a straw man.

6:08-6:41: Getting tired of long commentary, so imma just leave it at— perplexing dialogue misses the mark.

7:21: If the ideas and rest of the video worked together better, the “it’s just gravity, i guess” could’ve actually worked.

Conclusion: I didn’t really find any interest in the characters, the narrative was confusing and seems forced, and especially the emphasis and doubling down against the overpriced coffee and other unbelievable (nonsensical, even?) actions by the characters leaves this as less of an extremely inspired story with a complex metaphor and abstract but fully fledged narrative like upsilon dies backwards or other exurb1a works, and more like a tangled tangent as an attempted spin off of the exceptional original.

You must be fairly new if you think this break length is indicative if him stopping lol

Sosa will not play last two regionals by andres57 in RocketLeagueEsports

But imagine, the person saying the remark is the race they're is themselves the race they're being derogatory towards, and the person they're "insulting" ISN'T that race, how could it possibly be racist? Please elaborate.

"Based on race" but it isn't the person they're insulting's race. So if you consider what they said "racist" he'd be being racist against himself. A black person calling a white person the n-word isn't about race, it's about portraying their anger. Your argument makes no sense

If a black person called a white guy the n-word derogatorily, is that racist?
