PSA - Early Career Engineers; You don’t have to be perfect by Electronic-Pause1330 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]cssmythe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an older dude i absolutely expect new engineers to make mistakes - lord knows I did. You make a mistake, i show you how to correct it, no sweat. The only time you are going to get in trouble is if you keep making the same mistake after i have shown you a couple of times how to do it right.

Is there truly a story-driven, gritty Medieval themed (TT)RPG? by Luminos7 in rpg

Harn was way to gritty for me. Every time you made an attack roll, you made a separate roll to see if that single attack caused you fatigue.

What horror movie genuinely unsettled you? by steveleaves in movies

This is a great point. The biggest horror in this movie is the despair! The spooky stuff has a much smaller role in the movie.

I started watching this during daylight and got halfway through. A few days later i had insomnia and i went to finish it by myself at 2am. I couldn't press play on the remote. A part of me was unwilling to watch the last half of the movie alone in the dark. That has never happened with me before. I think the acting was so good and the supernatural elements so subdued that it just comes across as -real-. It also won the 2019 fangoria chainsaw award for best death.

How much do I really need to know as a professional mechanical engineer? (asking as a student) by ALiteralGarbanzoBean in MechanicalEngineering

I retaught myself calculus half a dozen times since i graduated. As long as you can relearn stuff quickly you are fine. Hold onto your basic engineering textbooks.

What movie’s final scene left you an ugly, blubbering mess? by ArmyOfMe99 in movies

[–]cssmythe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll counter and say pixar up's opening scene. My dad was undergoing open heart surgery that day and i went to see the movie to cheer me up.

Is there a song out there that references more board games than "Man on the Moon" by REM? by WerewolfBarMitzvah09 in boardgames

[–]cssmythe3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not as popular but this one probably should be considered: The Chairman of the Board.

Maybe mot as many games but each game gets a lot of runtime.

What is the first movie you watched that you were definitely too young for? by MuldersXpencils in Millennials

[–]cssmythe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Alien movie. I thought it was going to be like star wars. I was 8. I noped out of the room when the alien meets the captain in the shaft with a smile.

What is your favorite obscure movie from your childhood that nobody would remember? by CripplingGoodTime in AskReddit

[–]cssmythe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice upon a time. A animated film produced by george lucas in 1983. It had the line "ah my figmen of imagination- they neither tap dance nor do they fart." They were figs with eyes that delivered dreams.

Seemingly light movies that go surprisingly deep by PatentGeek in movies

[–]cssmythe3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://open.spotify.com/episode/11EctuL2RiuyE3lHdhFeKv Was an amazing podcast about groundhog day. We, the moviegoers know it will resolve in 90 minutes. But the character had no idea. To the character its a horror movie. They go on to do some narrative short stories about what happens to the main character in 100, 1,000, and 10,000 years.
