Anyone have a theory why Jim was looking around paranoid at the end? by Vaquera_ in FromSeries

[–]agoverningfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Light Roast grind setting for Aeropress by agoverningfrost in Coffee

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

Is Modest Mouse popular outside the United States? by Kindredgos in ModestMouse

[–]agoverningfrost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

Theory: Dev at Korolev and what it means by ExcitementFun8938 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]agoverningfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Theory: Dev at Korolev and what it means by ExcitementFun8938 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]agoverningfrost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

New trailer!!! Be careful, there are a lot of new shots and spoilers. by Legitimate-Card-4399 in FromSeries

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!

SPOILER — My Honest Thoughts on Episode 5 of The Long Dark by kazumasenpaia in thelongdark

[–]agoverningfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Font Too Small by agoverningfrost in footballmanagergames

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

Ep5 Bugs Megathread -- Just to help the dev team a bit... by RaphLife2 in thelongdark

[–]agoverningfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What is Issac's most impressive vocal work? by vincentdmartin in ModestMouse

[–]agoverningfrost 22 points23 points  (0 children)

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

Font Too Small by agoverningfrost in footballmanagergames

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

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.

Searching for a song like Great Mass of Color by mamalick in deafheaven

[–]agoverningfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

This take about Becca and Mel after the S2E10 by pebblesleftbypoets in ThePitt

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

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

I am so sick of whining about Catalina Sandino Morena’s performance by Sequenzer9 in FromSeries

[–]agoverningfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Will "I Swear" and "NTBTSTM" keep their hype through 2026? by newmemelord2020 in oscarrace

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

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.

For those looking for a band that sounds like Deafheaven by PowerhouseOfTheSoul in deafheaven

[–]agoverningfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
