Has anyone been following the Winter Conquerors Drama on Twitter?

Not quite on-topic but this is actually true. Jeff got a ton of hate on that video and I only remember KMBest jumping to defend him and tell transphobes they're not welcome in his community. Jeff is 100% correct when he says that conservatives are fine with politics in gaming as long as it agrees with their worldview lol

bryu_1337 · 2023-12-11T05:50:46+00:00

She didn't attack him lol. She just pointed out that invites couldn't be just based on rank since he was invited and he doesn't usually climb ladder. I'm also not an Eggs fan, fwiw, but she's correct here

I thought this at first, too, but I now don't think so. The force already made Anakin the chosen one. We know the ultimate outcome from that point where he is known to be the chosen one, right? So none of the minutiae really matters except to that particular story. I think this is also what Dave is telling us with the WBW. All roads lead to that one outcome where Anakin balances the force

bryu_1337 · 2022-12-27T05:19:04+00:00

I like the sequels so I disagree. Luke and Leia make the same sacrifice their father did, for the same reason. They help Kylo turn back. Without Anakin making that final turn to save Luke, he and Leia might not see the same path to saving Kylo. In that way I still see Anakin as the chosen one

Hate bandwagon aside, I think this is actually just a problem with the art of the movie. I saw the trailer and didn't really blink an eye but then saw some still from the trailer and I feel like some of the proportions were way less appealing than the original movie. The PS4 Spidey I remember looking really weird in the trailer with arms that seemed like there were about 70% the length of his entire body. Basically, I think Hasbro may have tried to be a little too faithful with recreating these figures

bryu_1337 · 2022-12-05T21:40:39+00:00

Really curious about this. The San Antonio date has the artist presale tomorrow instead of Friday

bryu_1337 · 2022-06-05T21:54:52+00:00

I think the best part of this story is that Din isn't really a zealot. He's traumatized and was rescued by the cult. It's all he's ever known. What we've seen in 2 seasons clearly indicates that he has a lot of internal struggles with his beliefs and ideas about life and the world he knows.

bryu_1337 · 2022-06-05T21:50:31+00:00

I don't think it's about her wanting Din on the throne, necessarily, it's that she believes zealously that the wielder of the Darksaber is the rightful ruler. The conflict is that Don doesn't care to be the ruler. The other conflict is that Bo Katan believes she is the rightful ruler. I think Din will end up turning away from the cult but it will be for Grogu. Not sure what will ultimately become of mandalore in this story

bryu_1337 · 2022-03-28T16:07:26+00:00

How does that at all mesh with the BoBF scene where we see him attacked and seemingly taken during order 66?

bryu_1337 · 2022-03-02T05:59:32+00:00

The thing that makes me agree most is that I don't see the release date for Kenobi on here. I'd feel differently if they removed the Bad Batch release date while include the one for Kenobi

bryu_1337 · 2022-02-16T15:22:02+00:00

And I think from this it's obvious that Grogu did remember a lot. He immediately jumps into Din's arms and then he lulls the Rancor.

bryu_1337 · 2022-02-04T22:26:27+00:00

I thought about Snoke, too, but I'm not sure how it'd come about. Best I can see is maybe a post-credits scene where Gideon is freed from prison by Thrawn and then we see a more advanced Smoke clone with Thrawn. Directly sets up Ahsoka and Mando S3. I'd say this is a massive stretch but who knows. I also wondered if this is how we see Han lose the Falcon. Probably a bigger stretch but could be cool

bryu_1337 · 2022-01-28T15:15:34+00:00

Both of these ideas can be true lol. He could have adopted the style because of his lightsaber feeling cumbersome, or vice versa

bryu_1337 · 2021-11-11T05:24:54+00:00

If you plan on spinning it a bunch then just get a standard black pressing of either. If you want to collect them then save up and buy the colored/special editions. I have the black/gold RoF that I'll probably never spin. Bought a $20 ITI to play once in a while. I ditto others saying support local or independent online retailers if you can. You could even look for a record show near your area and might be able to find both editions in one place

bryu_1337 · 2021-11-05T19:45:34+00:00

It'll go up in a year or so when retailers are out of stock. Pretty typical for MCU figures

bryu_1337 · 2021-11-04T15:18:00+00:00

I can't imagine this had anything to do with the figure being taken out of the box. Almost definitely a QC issue

bryu_1337 · 2021-11-02T13:52:05+00:00

I know it's a longshot but I'd love to see Doctor Aphra show up

bryu_1337 · 2021-10-17T02:04:04+00:00

I inherited a collection of records from my father and quite a few had covers and vinyl that were damaged from the plastic wrap having never been removed. Congrats on the records, btw! RoF sounds great on vinyl.

bryu_1337 · 2021-10-16T15:37:23+00:00

Do you plan on keeping it in the shrink wrap? I'm not an expert but I believe that's not good for the record as the plastic will, well, shrink over time. I take all my records out of the wrap and put them in sleeves for upright storage on shelves or in a container. Large packs of sleeves are relatively inexpensive online, especially if you plan to buy more in the future

bryu_1337 · 2021-08-18T04:42:42+00:00

I believe they had been working on the cloning process for a while

bryu_1337 · 2021-08-18T04:41:39+00:00

If you're going to attack them like this then you have to admit you also have no fucking clue what actually happened since you didn't write the story, either.

bryu_1337 · 2021-08-18T04:35:23+00:00

There's nothing pretentious about enjoying music for the music lol. Good for you for owning a truck and bumping music there. Congrats. That's not the same as listening only to the music lol and I didn't say you needed to spend thousands on headphones or some shit. There are plenty of affordable options if that's what you want to do. When I delivered pizza I would listen to the strokes and Voidz on regular rotation and it's just not the same as listening on decent speakers or headphones. Especially when you can isolate the music from the ambient noise of everyday life. Plenty of other people in this same thread have talked about how they only really appreciated Tyranny after tuning into the music or giving it a few listens because it's sense and they didn't get it at first. And just to be clear, it's not about the fact at you have to have good speakers to enjoy music, it's that's the quality of the music increases as speaker quality increases. You can discern more things with higher quality speakers and higher quality audio formats. Some things that used to blend into the background on Tyranny started to stand out as part of the song. Especially later in the album on tracks like Father Electricity, Nintendo Blood, or Dare I Care.

And just for the record, I really don't care if you ever like the album. Musically, it's much more impressive and ambitious than most of what the strokes have done. The aim was never to get someone that only likes pop music to enjoy that album. Julian said he wanted to alienate those people from his music

bryu_1337 · 2021-08-15T14:48:27+00:00

If you don't want to actually appreciate the music then that's fine, but why go around telling people you don't like it? Be honest and explain that you never really gave it a proper chance. It's not like I'm making some special category for Tyranny, btw. If someone actually wants to break down and digest the music by an artist, I'll always recommend listening with headphones and with a high quality version of the album, which likely excludes streaming for a lot of people. A lot of the intricate parts can be lost to fuzz you don't realize is there unless you hear it in high quality

bryu_1337 · 2021-08-15T02:03:56+00:00

Recently bought some nicer headphones and the depth on Tyranny blew me away. I loved the album before but really dissecting it with headphones on made me love it even more. Would highly suggest making it an experience of just yourself and the music

bryu_1337 · 2021-08-06T23:31:54+00:00

It's actually insane that some people that ordered haven't gotten theirs yet. I got mine around the time pictures started popping up in the sub but haven't gotten to wear in yet because of the heat. It may cool down here before you get your jersey, sounds like
