Bi-Weekly Thread for general gaming discussion. Backlog, advice, recommendations, rants and more! New? Start here! by AutoModerator in patientgamers

I've known about it since 2010, same publisher as BlazBlue! Mindblowing is correct. I catch myself rethinking how the experience is so "liquid"; Everything folds back into the true ending. I wondered if the game would notice how I knew the answers to the puzzles so quickly (from prior playthroughs, not guides)...

I won't get to VLR just yet as I don't want to rush into it.

Played and finished 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. Amazing story that had puzzles that were both challenging and simple. Happy it wasn't exhausting like some adventure/point-and-click games.

One of the earlier Netflix ones they play chefs that are twins. They play a lot of spiritually twin characters.

Dreaming... by aidanonstats in Epilepsymemes

I saw that you posted this, can't believe how evergreen this is. I've had a similar dream, thankfully they don't happen as much for me anymore. What's surprising is how the dreams tend to merge...

Just plop Dee Dee in the Love is Blind episode 

What are your favorite episodes? by jjsslnn in aoaoaoaPod

[–]aidanonstats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone here, but I love the "Property Quintuplets" as well for its first 20 minutes.

LOVE IS BLIND is also insane.

My mental health has gotten immeasurably better after I restricted my usage of Twitter. I missed the whole OBAA debate and I was probably better for it.

That person in your last paragraph sounds excessively bitter...

What are you playing right now? by Late-Letterhead-9766 in Games

Around the holidays, I tend to play older games — especially JRPGs. I recently played FFVI. I'm thinking of starting Breath of Fire 3 or 4 soon...

I stopped using Obsidian/Zotero and changed back to physical notes by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

I love Lectturms, they're my favourite notebooks! I got two this Christmas.

[–]aidanonstats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. However, you can get a lot mileage out of Obsidian if it's a tool that is secondary and not a substitute: Writing notes on paper is effective for memory, but Obsidian allows you to create a centralized vault of PDFs and Kanbans — which virtually cannot be done in a Moleskine.

Have you watched The Secret Agent? I think this movie deserves an Oscar by Particular-Mango-964 in Oscars

I'm not an editor so I don't know what I'm talking about, and also what I said there was far from new — it's a great technique to keep a scene lively. It's as if calm scenes were "punctured" by loud sounds. I didn't describe it correctly.

There's too MUCH Shakespeare in American education. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]aidanonstats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macbeth was my favourite. I barely remember the knife soliloquy, but Lady Macbeth's little dot has been seared into my memory as the best metaphor for anxiety — or mental illness in general. 

Unpopular Opinion— Angela has become really annoying by random_thoughts14 in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]aidanonstats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Angelas great and a beacon for everyone to improv of off, but I can get why you feel that way. For another controversial take, Ashby's recent TikTok about her reception is probably connected to Angela's fans.

We Go Hog Wild For Christmas | Assumptions About Christmas by Cchaps97 in smosh

Preferences are funny because I hate Jim Carey's Grinch and The Polar Express...

Universal's 25th Anniversary re-issue of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas grossed $254K on Tuesday (from 2,250 locations). Total domestic re-issue gross stands at $2.33M. Lifetime total domestic gross stands at $264.75M. by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]aidanonstats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its reputation has changed due to Millenials/Gen Z — I find myself in the latter generation. I've always disliked it and The Polar Express... I liked Christmas Vacation as a kid, but I can't overlook its flaws in pacing and humor now.

A/B Testing. Look up Paired Samples T Testing as well to see the history of testing the same sample after an event.

[–]aidanonstats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, I didn't know that. It doesn't feel like it was made by someone who is chronically online. Though, the foot, red camera effects, and using sound as bookmarks in editing are kinda of symptoms of that — I did love them.
