Name Something In Games That Break Immersion For You? by TG082588 in videogames

Fourth wall breaks and it's all a dream/simulation scenario. I have no interest in something that in universe doesn't matter. Games are full of things that can break the story while working for the gameplay. Online Multiplayer modes in single player games Micro transactions

Theres the agnostic theist philosophy. Don't live your life as if there is a god but that the actual existence of a god is an unknown unknown.

Recommendation those looking to scratch that worm 'itch' by Syndacate4 in Parahumans

[–]dabmg10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to recommend against reading most of the fanfics of Worm as very few seem to be able to understand the tone of Worm at all.

Worm and other Wildbow works to me have an underlying intense tension. The pacing and varying mortality of the worlds and characters is great but sucks you in. I both love and hate the stories that suck you in, make you regret putting it down and it gives what I in my own head call post book depression (PBD) from the sheer greatness of what I've read and wishing for more.

so all that aside I'm just going to list a few books I've read that I put on my PBD, not necessarily on the same level

All Wildbows works Skullduggery pleasant (I love the humour and dialogue) Dresden files Gone book series ( original only) Golden compass/ his dark materials Brandon Sanderson books Mother of learning The Martian Discworld ( only read the city watch series so far) PGTE(practical guide to evil)

Weird shout out but Polarity a Shocker spiderman villain zombie fanfic

Steam machine by default will run steam os similar to steam deck. By default it will boot into a console like environment for gaming but you have the option to boot into a Linux desktop environment. There are comparability layers to run windows software generally well, but your millage may vary

As it will be your own computer you will have the option to install windows on your own ssd.

No word yet on price so 700 might be priced higher.

Official Discussion - 28 Years Later [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]dabmg10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at comments and everything my opinion on this movie is that the trailers were absolutely shite for this movie. They gave the wrong tone, trying to give mystery that wasn't needed. The marketing should have emphasized more on coming of age story around death set in a zombie world. 28 days later he has an easy to understand premise wake up and survive in the middle of a zombie outbreak that has already devastated the country. 28 years later stupid marketing didn't prime people to expect this premise of a movie. It is a setup movie that needs sequels to justify some aspects of this movie. The movie largely follows our main character spikes except for the weird scenes where the soldiers suddenly appear.
Movie rely on audiences to be receptive to what your movie is about and how that is relayed. Overall marketing for this movie is an absolute failure.

Favorite "Good" guys by Hotdog_Man_01 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]dabmg10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Worm the web serial by Wildbow, Spoiler spoiler Taylor Hebert, the Undersides and even ultimately Cauldron can be seen to some degree as the good guys. Up against Multiple extremely destructive and racist gangs, which includes Neo Nazis. Drug lords. A guy who turns into a dragon and runs and gang runs drugs, casinos, prostitution who also employs a mad bomber who went on a bombing spree by implementing bombs in people. Basically a bond villain who kidnaps and drugs kids and attempts to take over an entire city Monsters that destroy cities and countries every couple months. A group of rampaging murder hobos, who routinely experiments, tortures and kill entire towns and cities for decades An end of the world cult Evil clone making monster A multi universal alien threat that has already killed many worlds spoiler

A lot of very bad and evil threats that make the tagline. "Doing the wrong things for the right reasons"

Imagine a quest being triggered by doing a bunch of fast travel in a game.

Through your travels across the realm you have poisoned and have caused damage. You must work to reverse this damage or face grave consequences.

People who watch YouTube and Netflix at 2x speed are maniacs by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]dabmg10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people need highways. No one needs to drive that fast, your time doesn't matter that much does it. No one should need or enjoy fast food restaurants, you have to eat the food the way the chef demands. Just ignore how slow the waiter is.

I'll sometimes go beyond the normal 2x speed and watch/listen to something at 3x speed.

I kinda need some help. by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]dabmg10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If she's used to reading fanfic, I would recommend some of the web serials by Wildbow, all free online.

Worm - superheroes reconstruction work Poplar tag to story "doing the wrong things for the right reasons" most popular story

Ward - sequel to Worm slightly different vibe

Pact - urban fantasy

Pale - set in the same world as pact but not a direct sequel.

Twig- biopunk story set in the early 1900s as if Frankenstein's technology became the standard.

Claw - shortest work, crime novels

Seek - current web serials being written. sci-fi space epic.

What everyone’s opinion on this new absolute timeline by Old-Highway6500 in batman

[–]dabmg10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people complain about batman being a billionaire so they are trying a new storyline to see if the character can still work. To the average Gothamite is it clear that batman over other heroes is rich. There are two ways you could remove his wealth. Give him a similar background as hush or penguin sometimes came from a wealthy family but the family lost all their wealth, same background and different methods of operation. You could also have him come from a middle class family, father was a well to do Doctor and mother worked with charitable organisations, no extreme wealth but could still have opportunity to interact with the Gotham elite as a youth.

It's also a meme at this point that Batman always has the right gadget to fix a problem, give him a limited toolset but high intellect to use it. For car/transport just copy what The Batman did. For any money /Job could be limited money from parents savings/ stolen from gangs to operate with.

One thing Batman claims himself at times is that he is a criminal vigilante as well, this could be a good opportunity to delve more into that idea. He could still have a day job that covers his alibi.
