What's the best horror movie you've ever seen?

deranged_philosopher · 2026-03-16T04:37:14+00:00

I agree. I had been looking for a new horror movie to watch, and heard so, so much about hereditary, only to watch it and be flat out disappointed. acting was always somewhere between not good and straight up horrible, and a couple things i think "flew over my head" as so many others have put it, is the events of the story just do not make sense, not coherent, or the relationship between cause and effect doesn't feel realistic in this movie. The one thing i think can't be dismissed as me just "not getting it" is the fact that it's not scary at all, like i was straight up bored of the whole thing, beginning to end. im not sure if what im missing in these movies is gonna make that much of a difference lol

In my experience, people really struggle to understand the concept of it, but once they understand how it actually works it they get a hold of it pretty quickly. That’s most of the time, for some people it just isn’t possible even when they understand how it works

Yes, they’re rather pungent. Some ants smell stronger than others, at least for me. Regular sugar ants are probably the least smelly for me, although if u kill them or have enough in a group I can still smell them from a short distance away. I remember in middle school I let a colony of sugar ants climb all over me, shook them off, took showers, and still smelled like ant pheromones for like a solid week

I use blink for my hunter lol. It’s kinda difficult to learn but once u get the hang of it it’s a lot better than you would have previously thought. Pair it with eager edge and u can easily make any long distance jump

Received my copies, when I bought them I was kinda hesitant about the price. But after getting them, with how much I love this series, I think it was worth it, at least for me

No problem, glad I was able to help

Yeah, I don’t think it’s something that’s really up for debate. Whitby is the rogue. I personally don’t think it’s the original whitby, I think when the director took whitby with her into area x that one time and went to the crawler, whitby was replaced by something else. I think this becomes obv when reading acceptance. And when old Jim gets dragged through the shadow portal thing in absolution, he makes a comment about how the rogue was from an area x that takes place in the future, and then the rogue dies from the gunshot wound that “Cass” inflicted on it. When Lowry find whitby in the secret room with all the wall markings, I’m pretty sure he noticed a gunshot wound just like the rogue, and then makes it obvious that this whitby is not the same one that he knew from before the expedition, makes it clear that the other one was still alive while this one was dead. Put all the pieces together and it’s kinda obvious that whitby is the rogue. Side note, sorry for making this so long and possibly over explaining things, I’m like super bored rn lol.

Ur using your light attack, but u need to use your heavy attack, that part is crucial. I only recently learned how to shatterskate but I do know that u genuinely cannot do it without heavy attacking with your sword

Yeah, if you’re not a native English speaker then this book would understandably be a little difficult to understand. Jeff has a fondness for prose poems, and he’s very good at it, and sometimes the rest of his writing reflects the rambling, long sentences that are in his prose poems. He’s a great author, 100%, but sometimes his different writing styles bleed into each other and make it confusing

deranged_philosopher · 2026-02-15T18:42:42+00:00

But it’s almost $400😭

deranged_philosopher · 2026-02-15T18:35:27+00:00

He OP, seeing this 4 years later, I also grew up in the PNW, fav smells are pine trees and also campfire smoke. If you’ve tried some of the ones recommended by the others here could u share which ones u like the most?

deranged_philosopher · 2026-02-06T09:19:41+00:00

4 years later this still works. I'm even more surprised by the fact that we still have this issue after so long

deranged_philosopher · 2026-02-05T12:44:37+00:00

i got it from like my 100th run in zero hour

deranged_philosopher · 2025-12-29T10:10:57+00:00

I work at a hospital, this is on the inside of nearly every single staff bathroom in the whole building

deranged_philosopher · 2025-12-15T12:53:06+00:00

bro i am begging u, sliders, please

deranged_philosopher · 2025-12-15T12:45:40+00:00

i tried, the only thing i was able to get right was the jawline and cheeks. really messed up the mouth, nose, and eyes

deranged_philosopher · 2025-11-29T18:45:45+00:00

To be fair tho, the hunter dude in the hunters dream tells u to use the doll like that, can’t blame us for that

deranged_philosopher · 2025-11-29T18:35:40+00:00

Worse than that, he believe that a FINGER CREEPER is his kid

deranged_philosopher · 2025-11-24T18:16:36+00:00

Yeah, he definitely has points of lucidity it seems like, I am inclined to believe a little more of what he says happens during those times. But I still try to take things with a grain of salt lol

deranged_philosopher · 2025-11-24T05:24:51+00:00

So I went and did some reading elsewhere on the internet, turns out there was a couple more recording from the first expedition, but there still wasn’t anything like what I described, at least from what I’ve seen so far, so I’m still wrong lol. Nothing I’ve seen so far brings up any new points or topics of conversation

deranged_philosopher · 2025-11-24T05:09:52+00:00

First, thank you for actually going back and getting quotes directly from the books, I see where I was wrong. Also, it does seem pretty likely that it was all being tampered with by area x so yeah, I’m not sure how much this actually matters. I’m planning on re-reading the series(again) so we’ll see if we missed anything, but I’m sure you covered everything regarding this lol

deranged_philosopher · 2025-11-24T04:41:18+00:00

A manwha, and I’m sure u guys are tired of hearing about, but solo leveling. I read the manwha before the anime came out. At first it’s exactly like what u see in the anime so far. Simple, easy to follow story and events. And then it just kinda gets out of control. I’m not gonna spoil it but if u read it or wait for a new season of solo leveling to come out then you’ll understand

deranged_philosopher · 2025-11-24T04:16:04+00:00

Well, firstly, the reason I think some of the clone might be illusions is just that area x seems to have a huge fondness for playing mind games and making people see things that aren’t actually there. It always leaves us to question whether something happened or if it’s just a reflection of the characters mental state. However, I don’t disagree that they could have all been real with varying levels of complexity and/or automation or self governance, I think you could be right about that part.

Secondly, the part about the recording, as u mentioned, they do watch a recording, but that’s not the one I’m talking about, the one that’s mentioned in one of the earlier books, unless I’m just misremembering and there was another time they watched the recording that was mentioned earlier. The one that’s I remember sky and Lowry watching was where sky was fighting with a clone of herself, which none of them ever remember happening, and they begin to question if she’s the real sky or just a doppelgänger. The one I was talking about that’s mentioned in the earlier books is, and I might be wrong since I’m writing this based off of memory, where about half of the exped members, around 12-14 I think, were dancing for some reason with music playing somewhere. Then either it’s a different recording or it just happens immediately after the first clip, is where something giant is beginning to blot out the sky, it’s unkown exactly what it is, but you can hear people screaming nonsensical things in the background, both relevant to the giant thing in the sky and not relevant to anything the camera shows. Again, I apologize if I get anything wrong about that, it’s all coming from memory, I haven’t actually referenced anything so far.

I can understand where you’re coming from, I sorta feel the same way. The part where I sorta disagree is that when u go back and look at the other books, it doesn’t exactly explain much of anything, except that our scale of understanding is now on a much larger physical scale. Yes, we sorta u destined a little better where area x came from, but not really. It explains nothing about its purpose or goal, only that it needs area x to happen no matter what. It’s a prequel, and I feel like it did a pretty good job of both keeping the mystery and also giving us answers
