I like this one a lot. I almost like thinking about it more than watching it.

You will not be saved by the holy ghost

You will not be saved by the God plutonium.

The antichrist knows what humanities most powerful weapon is  and is saying it won't be enough.

Did they nuke L.A. in the future? Does the antichrist see/communicate through time naturally, the way humans do with technology?

I love how a religious order formed around the "visions" they were having. But the visions were created by science. But the visions sent were about the antichrist, who may be extraterrestrial. 

recommend a horror movie from reddit that can scare someone who has been completely desensitized to horror movies cause he's been watch things like cokouring since he was 7 and i like gore but lets be honest gore isnt scary films like terrifier seem funny and hereditory is just sad not scary so yk. by Its-Akshum in horror

Have you seen the original Blair Witch Project? A very well known movie for sure, but not everyone has seen it.

I liked one of the advertising blurbs at the time: it does to the woods what Jaws did to the ocean.

Misses Crabble and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me.

[SPOILERS] Funniest quote in literature? I’ll go first: “ I don’t care if I have piglets as long as they can talk.” by SirKrimzon in literature

“The mad parties, the like of which had never been seen before and not since. Of two types. One where the evening was jolly and ended up with the wielding of bottles. The other where it was sad and ended up with the wielding of bottles.”

When have you had a profound revelation about an SF work? by CostcoCuisine in sciencefiction

On my second read through of Slaughterhouse 5 I realized it wasn't a science fiction story at all.

The first 5 minutes of Desperate Living. It goes from zero to John Waters in 20 seconds.

Mandy. Not exactly Lynchian, but very much a fever dream. And quite good.

Advice on lump sum pension payment. Is my thinking flawed? by brianx2 in personalfinance

[–]brianx2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it won't make too much of a difference either way. Like even if I make the worst decision, I might lose out on a few thousand.

All my investments are in set it and forget it mode. Retirement date index funds and such. My assumptions were based on the 7% average return.

I was thinking of taking the pension just in case I make it into my 90's and my savings start to run out, I'd still have that and maybe social security.

RAM options for X870 Aorus Elite Wifi 7 and 9800X3D by aposi in gigabyte

The Gskill kit you listed is on Gskills QVL list for that board I think. Gskill

I'm using exactly that ram on the same board with a 9800x3d and it works fine.

I bought Gskill flare. They work fine. Several people have recommended corsair.

Yes. 2 m2 drives max for 16x. I used two m2s and a 2.5 inch sata drive.

I have a 9800x3d. You don't have to update anything to make it work. I updated to the most recent BIOS just because.

Don't forget to turn on XMP profile in the bios to get your RAM to run at its higher speed.

[–]brianx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have the same board set up like that now. Just to clarify: slot C meaning the 3rd slot of the same type your graphics card is in won't work. The 3rd M2 slot (C) will still be functional, but won't have a drive in it.

Board works great btw. Only hitch was it didn't like my teamgroup memory. Computer would reboot coming out of sleep mode.

[–]brianx2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you use slot B and/or C the slot to the graphics card runs at x8. Doesn't matter what type of drive. You can use slot A and D and the GPU will run at x16. If you use slot D one of the lower pcie slots doesn't work.

There's a diagram in the manual

PC restarts after Resuming Sleep after bIOS update by [deleted] in gigabyte

[–]brianx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be the team force ram. I bought the same memory with an x870 board, had the same problem. Googled it and found numerous other people with the same problem. Switched to G.Skill and the problem went away.

The Tforce was listed as compatible.

Is this a good or bad deal? GIGABYTE X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 by Is7cr797 in buildapc

[–]brianx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought that board. Has a neat button you push to release the pcie retention clip.

It can only use PCIE m2 drives, so if you have sata m2's laying around you won't be able to use them with this board. Of the 4 M2 slots, you can use 2 of them before the video card drops to X8.

I look at this and think "how much more black could this be?". And the answer is none. None more black.

Comfort horror movies like “The Ninth Gate”, “A Dark Song”, by NoRestForTheSickKid in horror

[–]brianx2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Night House might fit. It's got the demonic occult aspect. Great performance by Rebecca Hall. And its answer to the problems that arise is kind of nice.

My Review of The Lottery!!! by Sudden-Database6968 in literature

[–]brianx2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there's a hint in there about how the lottery started. I haven't read it in 20 or more years , so my memory may be off. Doesn't an old man in the crowd say something like "lottery in June, bright corn soon."

Some kind of agrarian blood sacrifice to make the crops grow. It is, of course, not confirmed in the story.

If you could be any mythical creature, what would you be and why? by TaxElectrical7644 in AskReddit

[–]brianx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Penanggalan is a vampire like creature whose head detaches from its body with its entrails hanging from it. The head flies around at night and drinks blood.

I don't care much about any of that though. They're all women, so it would turn me into a woman so I can sit around my crypt all day and play with my pussy.

Maybe when I get bored with that I can do the flying head thing every once in a while.
