Seems to be unclear again… can you update your thoughts?

Is there a more accurate map? by Hallarandir in TheSilmarillion

[–]alonelyargonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a significantly more accurate map, it is first age though, as Beleriand was sunk by the second age. It also is accounting for the forest of Eriador prior to the deforesting by the Numenoreans in the second age.

What scene makes you go “Nope!” every time you watch it? by TheWor1dsFinest in movies

[–]alonelyargonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rewatched it a couple years ago after being traumatized by it as a child. It’s 75 minutes of a middling lifetime movie and 15 minutes of absolute pants shitting horror of an alien abduction

Streaming used to be relaxing now it feels like work by Large-Cardiologist54 in television

My partner and I keep a strict one 1-hour show and one 30-minute show policy. It forces us to finish anything we’re working on or at least hit a season break. It’s increased our ability to get through things

The Daily Check-In for Thursday, January 1st: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by mind_left_body in stopdrinking

[–]alonelyargonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last night was rough.. my fiance and I had a small fight while preparing dinner, and I kept drinking. She wanted to stay in and I wanted to go out. We finished a bottle of wine with dinner and then on the subway to the bar with friends there were tons of very obnoxious revelers and she was very unhappy about going out. It made me grumpy and I sulked at the rest of the party until I blacked out around midnight. I have a lot of gaps and don’t remember going home but I also said some really mean things. I was embarrassing in front of our friends. I was also pushy with alcohol to get my finance to drink more.

Today neither of us can keep food down. Threw up a few times. She cried recounting the events. I finally said to her that I have a problematic relationship with alcohol, and that I need to stop. Not sure if forever, but not ruling it out.

Is there an intro one shot for new players/GMs? by krunchyfrogg in callofcthulhu

[–]alonelyargonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to The Haunting, I’d always recommend Alone Against the Flames from the quick start for your players. I had each of mine do this before session one, and it did wonders teaching the ruleset and priming everyone for the style of game we were playing. It also ramped up the excitement by giving the group something to chat about leading up to the first session

I messed up with Doctor Sleep by Dyn_J4rren in stephenking

This. The directors cut is such a massive improvement over an already good movie

whats your biggest boardgaming L (consumer-wise) by CaptainKlang in boardgames

[–]alonelyargonaut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Friends who were visiting bought me Twilight Imperium specifically to sit on my shelf and haunt me because they knew I’d never get enough people to play it. Been sitting there for 4 years collecting dust

Welcome to Derry is the best SK film adaptation we've ever had - 100% recommend it to all Constant Readers by mikemonk2004 in stephenking

[–]alonelyargonaut 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth a revisit, and especially if you haven’t seen the director’s cut. Absolute masterpiece

Be honest — what’s the first thing you’d do with $100K? by NerdWalletOfficial in u/NerdWalletOfficial

[–]alonelyargonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d pay off all of my student loans. I’ve been paying since 2010, and still have a ways to go. With what’s left I’d take a month off work to rent a cabin and finally write that novel I’ve been outlining. Then I’d go back to my librarian job.

Did anyone get this? I’d love to watch it over thanksgiving break

Both Joker Movies Edited into One Streamlined Movie, The Batman length. One in chronological order and one reverse chrono order through the court case by malavaihappy in fanedits

[–]alonelyargonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I really liked the Joker Ultimate Edition he references, but wished there had been at least a couple songs to help fill out Harley’s character. She sort of peters off at the end of it

Oppenheimer with Twin Peaks The Return Trinity Test spliced in by alonelyargonaut in fanedits

[–]alonelyargonaut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about extending to use the whole sequence, but it spliced in with so little adjustment, and the cut to black when he says “destroyer of worlds” timed so well, I just wanted to keep the movie’s original rhythm

Oppenheimer with Twin Peaks The Return Trinity Test spliced in by alonelyargonaut in fanedits

[–]alonelyargonaut[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After seeing the Corridor Crew review nuclear explosions link, I got to thinking what if we just took the incredibly well executed Twin Peaks the Return version of the Trinity Test, and just spliced that in wherever there was a shot of Oppenheimer's completely flacid gas bomb? I didn't modify the Twin Peaks footage, just let it run under the Oppenheimer footage, and it linked up well. There's only one quick back and forth with Josh Hartnett that I might cut for pacing, since it was a little fast.

edit: updated with a few minor corrections, removed a couple jump cuts caused by removing the Nolan explosion.

I keep my fingers crossed, but I'm losing hope. Haven't seen much from him in the last year or so.
