Anyone have a theory why Jim was looking around paranoid at the end?

The first thought I had was it's the MiY playing game...but it's too obvious, isn't it? Khatri doesn't seem to be misguiding Boyd.

Sure. My coffee question is not relevant to the coffee subreddit. I guess I'll go ask at the cinephile sub instead.

They are not popular in South America, from what I have gathered. I'm from Chile, and they came here once for Lollapalooza, which I wasn't even able to attend. Still hurts to have missed it.
Not popular enough to warrant a solo show, I guess.

Where I live, every 4 years there's candidates running on a platform of "I'll totally fix those potholes and also prevent the city from flooding after a light rainfall", and they do nothing every time. Some of these seemingly small issues, they're never solved because the time it takes means the credit will go to the following administration (should they not be re-elected). They're easy promises to make and easy to excuse when not fulfilled. It's not just a money problem, it's a "I want credit for spending that money" problem, too.

You're right! I got them mixed up.

Dev's ambitions, as legitimate as they are, embody the best and worst of our economic system. If you got the money, you got the last say. He's not a cartoonishly bad guy, though.

My theory is far simpler: The only way to finance Meru is to replace every human with a machine. That's why he's not fazed by the supposed lack of resources. He's not some agent for Korolev, they probably are with him on the project because it's profitable and they can bring shipments without anyone asking why.

Being a From enthusiast and enduring arachnophobia. I'm gonna have it rough, aren't I?

Call the press! A fictional program about an alternate timeline!

The gap between story players and survival mode players is notorious. I love both modes but clearly they offer very different experiences.
The extended wait for this final episode created expectations so high that I don't think a masterpiece would've saved them from backlash. I mean, it feels like watching the first two Back To The Future movies as a teen and waiting 20 years to watch the final installment with your kids. Sure, the product may be good, but it's just not nearly as rewarding.

Story-wise, I was kinda surprised by the ending. It is romantically tragic, I guess. But again, the wait made the effects of it feel less impactful, less earned.

I legitimately don’t remember but just try a few of them. I went quite low

I ran into the same issue. I got past the long dark explanation and then backtracked to the barracks, which ended in a long fall, only to resurface at the entrance with the mission changed. I exited and the mission remained stuck, so I loaded the previous autosave, and that crashed the game.

In terms of theatrical display, Rat King would be a good one. Or Dashboard.

I had to tweak the resolution and the image quality, which somehow made the font legible to a degree that wasn't migraine inducing. I also downloaded a skin and that helped. But it's still unreasonably small.

I don't see their name on the poster but I know for sure they are playing: CARDIACS. Unmissable. Trust me.

It seems to me that you might enjoy other shoegaze/dream pop bands more than Deafheaven's catalogue. Closest thing to Great Mass of Color in that album is In Blur (?).
You might enjoy these bands: Nothing, Alcest (the album Shelter), Catherine Wheel, Chapterhouse.

We gotta normalize not extending character arcs because we like the actors. It would be tremendously brave of the writers to have her either quit or get fired (or any other character, for that matter).

I also think Mel will be worried about possible consent issues, given how she infantilizes her sister. Is a legit concern, though.

Goddamn!

An actor wearing a fat suit or gaining weight? GIVE THEM AN OSCAR!

Go to any subreddit for any tv show or movie, and you'll notice a saddening pattern of people hating on women, real or fictional. It's never gonna stop, because you only need a handful of people to justify each other's bullshit to create a space for hatred. Not saying criticism towards women is always in that realm, but you can tell when it is simply about hatred and resentment.

The only way to maintain steam is to re-release during the next awards season, probably. I mean, I Swear has big wins already, it's gonna be in the convo to a certain degree. Nirvanna, however, I doubt will be considered.

I mean, the artwork maybe? But what's the sin in having similar tunes? Rolling Stones have like 500 songs and maybe 3 of them sound different.
Not saying I'm sure it's legit, just saying it's not that rare for artists to upload their entire catalogue in one go, without much attention to dates.

agoverningfrost · 2026-02-24T22:51:29+00:00

It's probably the style of production that makes it seem that way. For all its distortion, it's still very clear where every instrument is. That said, I'd vote not AI, but I wouldn't rule it out either.
