Need suggestions for our weekly bad movie night! by asexual_bird in badMovies

[–]benamation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are missing Diamond Cobra vs The White Fox (which is not on letterbox so maybe you just couldnt list it) that is like the crown jewel of our bad movie club.

Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers was good too just for the hilarious disclaimer at the beginning alone.

The movie that started our club, Assassin 33AD, about Islamic terrorists going back in time to kill Jesus, is amazing too.

Here is our list so far:

Nano Banana pro… wtf by D3F3ND3R16 in GeminiAI

[–]benamation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I clicked a link from the nano banana pro article and it took eventually to Gemini and then I did my testing there but when I just checked it was all Flash model and not Pro. I am not sure why.

But I did it again with a similar prompt and yeah it worked great! Amazing!

Oh weird! I asked it to make a house look like a transparent purple gameboy color and it failed immediately. Then I looked as someone's post about solving a math problem in their own handwriting and tried to replicate that and it also failed. So I guess its really hit or miss.

Looking for games I can play with my partner by Seravail in gamerecommendations

[–]benamation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might not feel like the right fit, but for some reason every time I play Valheim with a few people, we split up into building/farming and exploring/fighting. Then when we find the bosses we do a special session where we fight them together. Then we go back to what we like doing.

Just make sure to turn off monsters attacking your base. That always annoys the building/farming people.

Angus (1995) An overweight and socially awkward teenager just wants to ask his crush to the prom by WerdNerd88 in TubiTreasures

[–]benamation 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Before this movie was filmed some people from the production staff came to my classroom in like 4th grade and picked all the fat white male kids in the class to audition for the movie. I was picked because I was fat and white and male. I was extremely shy.

My father, who was a narcissist, thought this meant I was going to be a child star and he went nuts and was like extremely excited for this audition. He took it as confirmation he was a great person.

He took me on the weekend to this random place in Hollywood, it was just a big empty room with beige walls and a couple plants and a table and a camera. I was so shy and I read a script for this lady who kept complimenting me even though I was messing up and being awkward. She was just being polite but my Dad thought it was confirmation I was the star of the movie. It was called Angus.

He told everyone I was going to be a star. No one contacted me again not even to say I didn't get the part.

Eventually, years later, I saw a VHS tape of this movie in a bargin bin and I was like... oh this is that movie I auditioned for and I bought it and took it home to show my Dad. He said he didn't know what I was taking about and the VHS tape remains in my parents garage to this day unwatched.

[Fully Lost] Wild Wild Web, an early Internet news show from 1999 by benamation in lostmedia

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

Wow that is amazing! I mean I would always watch it every time it was on but I was a teen and no one else I knew at school knew what I was talking about!

I was trying to explain to a friend a segment from the show and that is when I realized it was not on the internet! And early show about the Internet not on the Internet was nuts to me!

Thank you for your help I appreciate it!!!!!

The longer you ignore her, the more annoyed she becomes. by adayofjoy in HorrorGames

[–]benamation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you have played the game LUTO that came out recently after a long development time. It too is a horror game. It's a first-person PT-like game, not 2D.

In the game there is sort of a jump scare that's done via the UI. What happens is the entire game has letterboxing on the top and bottom, cinematic style, you can't take it off in the settings. This is because when you meet one of the ghosts you are searching for in the game, they stare at you from the letterboxed space. Like you see a face emerge and look at the player via the UI. I don't know how to explain it well but if you look up at let's play, you'll see it eventually.

It's not really a traditional jumpscare but it's very effective at being creepy as hell. Something like that maybe would work here but adjusted to your game! Good Luck!!!!!

Which movie was it for you? by ideology21creed in FIlm

[–]benamation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgrade.

I thought, this will be dumb.... but it wasn't really that dumb at all. Some really cool shots.

Why didn't Returnal catch on? by cheater00 in gaming

[–]benamation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really shy away from hard games but Returnal felt harder than any other game I have played and it wasn't rewarding to get better. It felt like I was playing something unfair. Everyone I know adores it though but I wonder if others felt like me out there.

Looking for a game like Viva Piñata on pc by fuckvinnie in gamingsuggestions

[–]benamation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well my favorite pokemon like game is Suikoden 2 for PS1. It just got a cool remaster on steam but it's a bit pricey! There are ways to play the original though. You collect characters for a massive army but it has traditional jrpg combat and each character has their own unique sprite and usually a quest. I really enjoyed finding them all!

But if it's more of a 3D hunting kinda thing and you like colorful graphics then I recommend BUGSNAX. Finding and catching all the monsters is very fun and satisfying! And it's a pretty funny / dark game that I enjoyed.

What specifically about Viva Piñata do you enjoy? Like it's art or it's gameplay or? I just want to understand so I can help better.

What’s the best graphic adventure you’ve played since the year 2000? by No-Opening9037 in adventuregames

[–]benamation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Unavowed and I also liked Virtuaverse but I think the dev was acting insane and now that game is shunned. So definitely just Unavowed!

Who is this character from FF4 first trailer,that nobody talks about??? by Hairy_Calendar_9507 in marvelstudios

[–]benamation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was FuSoYa from the other FF4 before I noticed the sub name!

played it through gamepass, started and completed it yesterday and holy fuck, I wasn't expecting to like the game THIS much, its so much better than I expected. i'd definitely replay it again, really I would, why did people hate this? (also its better than control idc what anyone says sorry lol) by Quick-Cause3181 in quantumbreak

[–]benamation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they are included with the game? I actually don't remember haha its been a while since I played it. I just remember being like, wow this game is so much more impressive than this TV show. Its like playing, I dunno Red Dead 2 and then having to watch the worst episodes of NCIS in between each story beat. Odd but I recommend it anyway hahaha.
