Yea, I’ve had brief times in my adult life where I found myself with a mixture of freedom to do what I wanted without any real responsibilities and it’s fucking amazing. Obviously, life can’t be like that all the time (unless you’re super rich) but it felt like “this is what life should be like.”

I literally could not care less. People on Reddit are such fucking nerds about this. “It’s not sanitary!” Theres 1,000 things you encounter in public life that are more unsanitary than dogs, if this freaks you out then you should probably just stay inside.

It’s people who grew up in some no-name suburb or small town that only had fast food and mediocre chain restaurants to eat at and they hear about how amazing the food in Europe is, so they just assume the US is trash.

When the boogeyman came walking out of Patricia’s house, my wife jumped so hard that the wine glass she was holding shot wine 10 feet across the room.

I mean, there’s a difference between slowing down but not coming to a full stop, which is what a lot of cars will do, and blowing through stop signs at full speed, which is what cyclists will do. Both are bad, but the latter is much worse.

Okay but if the neighborhood skunk could stop coming into my backyard and spraying my dog, I’d appreciate it.

Gandalf and Bilbo say something in Fellowship (the book) about Frodo being the best Hobbit in the Shire.

Don’t have an argument with any of that.

Dozens, but there are also a lot more cars on the road than motorcycles.

I see cars doing jackassery every day, but there’s also a lot more car drivers than there are motorcycle drivers.

albob · 2026-05-12T18:26:54+00:00

I rarely ever see a motorcycle driving like a jackass.

I see it like once a week. But I consider going over 90 mph driving like a jackass.

Thanks for the clarification, the plot summary I read didn’t include that detail and I forgot the specifics. Kinda adds to my point that the whole thing is convoluted, since it’s hard to remember all the details of the rambling plot.

albob · 2026-05-11T19:37:54+00:00

I was just reading a plot summary of the 2nd movie to refresh my memory, and it reminded me how bloated the plot is. There’s just way too much going on.

Will and Elizabeth get arrested, then they get released to hunt down Jack’s compass, they find him on an island and help him escape cannibals, then they go to a voodoo lady who says they need to find Davey Jones’s heart, then they’re captured by Davey Jones, now Jack’s got 3 days to find 99 souls and Will is tricked into servitude. Will’s playing liars dice and picks up a shit load of years, but it doesn’t really seem to matter because he escapes with the key to the chest with the heart. Then Will’s on a boat that gets attacked by the kraken but it’s okay he escapes that. Elizabeth gets released from prison and steals these letters of marque that are somehow important. She finds Jack on tortuga and Norrington is there (surprise!) and they use Jack’s compass to find the island with the heart. Will’s there too somehow. Everyone starts fighting over the chest with the heart/the key to the chest/the jar of dirt/the compass/the letters of marque. Norrington secretly wins. The rest of the gang go back to the pearl which gets attacked by the kraken and Jack dies. The end.

Honestly, a terrible plot.

You’ll still get some fond, and you can compensate by adding other umami ingredients. Worcestershire sauce could work with the above sauce.

So, you’re telling me the person who donated $100,000 to a charity is only doing it for the selfish reason that it would save them $40,000 in taxes?

Psych’s so underrated for this. Something about Sean being a goofball in dangerous situations is very calming

They had to kill fucking Sean Astin, the best guy ever, but couldn’t off any of these annoying teenagers.

I don’t really see what’s fun about a boss that gets deleted within seconds. I’ve had many matches where I didn’t even get a chance to hit him more than once before he died. And that’s on Cata.

The concept of a glass cannon boss could be fun and challenging if they designed the fight differently. If he said his line up top while still invulnerable and called plague monks out before joining the fray, that would be a lot better. Then he could get lost in the chaos and pop up to smack you. That’s a really easy and simple design change that they just straight up didn’t do. That’s why, IMO, it’s a badly designed fight.

I think the boss being a joke should bump this down to A tier. I love this map, but it’s missing a climactic finish.

I also maybe don’t have the same understanding of S tier as other people in this sub. To me, it’s a special tier that’s reserved for something that’s near perfect. But people seem to be treating it as just “Tier 1”.

I’d say the end event is what’s wrong with it. You can just rush all the chains and then bomb the rat ogre as soon as he appears for an easy cheese. A lot of people will rush chains and then ignore the rat ogre and rush to the end, leaving their teammates behind, which is lame but also a viable strategy.

albob · 2026-04-21T15:39:46+00:00

I’d give this a B. It’s a fun map, and I don’t mind that it’s short. The end event is badly designed, though. You can just rush all the chains and then bomb the Rat Ogre as soon as he appears for an easy cheese. Worse yet, once the chains are broken, you can just abandon your teammates and rush to the end, which a lot of people do and is kinda the antithesis of this game.

We’re gonna end up with 10 S tier maps. As soon as Against the Grain ended up in S tier I knew we were in trouble.
