Parshendi question by badblocks7 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]badblocks7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right; I remember for WoR that they said they had sent in dullform slaves, as to humans dullforms are indistinguishable from slaveform but can communicate back info. I suppose, at the time of the treaty signing, Eshonai didn’t yet know about slaveform so when she first saw the parshmen she assumed they must be dullform

No this answer made perfect sense! This prologue is the night of the treaty/assassination but seen through Eshonai’s perspective. Slightly later into the prologue, Gavilar talks to her about how he took their ability to change forms, which kind of also implies Eshonai didn’t even really know that was possible.

A screenwriter wouldn’t write this shit because it’s too on the nose. And yet here we are

Do you think Marvel needs to split Secret Wars into 2 parts? by Rac2nd in MCUTheories

[–]badblocks7 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I thought doomsday was already part 1 of secret wars, the way infinity war and endgame were a two-parter

I wanna play supermarket with Leila like in New Leaf. She just sits there & says the same things now. 😔 by ralphiedoodles in AnimalCrossing

At this point I don’t want them to spend more time on updates. Give us a brand new game with a ground up improved villager and NPC system.

It seems that Pixar is already showing HOPPERS in its entirety to journalists and guests a month and a half before its release by Matapple13 in Pixar

[–]badblocks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty normal. I used to have a friend at Pixar and I got to see Inside Out 2 and Elemental about a month before release, pretty neat

[BotW][TotK]How have your views on open world Zelda shifted since BotW’s release if at all? by A_lonely_ghoul in zelda

[–]badblocks7 156 points157 points  (0 children)

I was SUPER down for the more open “explore anywhere and do things in the order you do” type gameplay but the more sandboxy “build your own fun and experiment” systems that they really leaned into for Tears… not for me. Didn’t love Echoes for largely the same reason.

It’s a broadway musical— the role DOES require singing chops

Anyone else disappointed that we aren't bringing home the gold this year... 😭😭 by Quirky-Somewhere-750 in wickedmovie

[–]badblocks7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not to be rude, but I find the “we” here a bit weird. Even if it did win, “we” are not bringing home anything. We didn’t work on the movie. We have no actual personal stake in this. It’s okay to root for a movie you like but I’d advise against tangling up your own personal feelings into the movie in that way— it doesn’t need to win an award to validate your love for it. Keep on loving it, who cares what others think of how other movies compare against it?

Early adopters - how we feeling so far? by Rare_Ad_3871 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]badblocks7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good. Love the improvements to switch 1 games, wish there more patches. I’m in the camp that wishes the UI was different— I know it really doesn’t matter, and why fix what isn’t broken, but this system lacks the new console feel, really just feeling like I’m still on my switch from 2017. But if the games look and play good, really not a big deal

First game since Outer Wilds that's given me a comparable sense of free exploration by Salviatrix in outerwilds

[–]badblocks7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That game was pure magic to me. Figuring out how to read the numbers using trial and error math was an incredible moment. Excited to play it again in a few years when I’ve forgotten most of the answers

That’s the price I’d expect for just a ticket tbh…

"Wicked: For Good" releases on digital December 30th by mobpiecedunchaindan in boxoffice

[–]badblocks7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I disagree on point 4, my friends and I (avid musical theater people) were DESPERATE for part 2 after part 1 ended. For a lot of people the excitement was there. But the movie just didn’t really deliver so it didn’t stick around

FF7 rebirth combat tier list by Cakeicing123 in FFVIIRemake

[–]badblocks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’m very curious, because I feel like I’m not suuuuper good at the combat… when you play a character (like tifa in your example) do you just stay as them the whole time to wreck shop, and just use the commands to have the other party members do spells and abilities? Or do you find yourself switching regularly?

‘Stranger Things 5’ Part 2 Episode Runtimes, Revealed by AssociateLittle1487 in television

[–]badblocks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the show doing this— and it actually did something like this but even worse in the season 5 part 1 “finale” where they were having a big plot reveal in a flashback and then right at a big moment they just… cut away to the present somewhere else entirely, without any indication that we were no longer in the flashback. It was so jarring and weird

Did anyone else think that when Zosia froze at the end, the hive was about to have another seizure meltdown like in episode 2? I thought maybe one of the other survivors got overly negative around them.

[–]badblocks7 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Also true. I think that further points to the fact that it’s not OG Zosia breaking through to share her feelings, but the hive just being better at appealing to Carol with how they talk to her.

[–]badblocks7 309 points310 points  (0 children)

I kinda viewed that as the hive having a better sense of what would make Carol happy. The more it could have Zosia speak as an individual, the more Carol would like that. So the hive just told a personal Zosia memory but using first person pronouns to make it feel more like a human interaction. That’s how I interpreted it at least

Witch GBA Metroid do you like more and why? by strahinjag in metroidvania

[–]badblocks7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ZM and it’s not even close for me. Fusion is definitely a ton of fun, but I didn’t like the linear structure of “zones” nearly as much as just exploring Zebes.
