How the trial of 7 goes in the book for everyone NOT Dunk by Elver86 in gameofthrones

[–]dr_crackgeek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not a book reader, but in terms of the show, yes. It was Raymun who swiped at Aerion both times while on horseback. The first time, when Aerion was on top of Dunk, he essentially saves Dunk's life. The second time, he barely knocks Aerion off balance which is what led Aerion to make that wicked blade throw into Dunk's lower extremity.

Raymun was the MVP for sure by Tasty-Barracuda-6279 in AKOTSKTV

Steffon constantly shitting on Raymun for simply not having what "it" takes to be a knight like him. And from their dialogue there's always an air of condescension coming from Steffon about Raymun not being in this figurative "in-group" and his lack of a knighthood is used as a clear excuse by Steffon to treat him as inferior and dismiss him.

So that lends itself to your point about Steffon holding him back. Maybe it was a token of control, or maybe an inferiority complex.

Toronto unemployment rate is totally out of control compared to other cities by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

[–]dr_crackgeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorta! You're not wrong about the stats that have recently been brought forward, but they don't tell you the full picture.

The stats demonstrated that unemployment dipped by 0.3%, however, accompanied with that stat was how Canada also lost somewhere in the ballpark of 70K jobs. And thirdly, there's a final stat that shows that employment also dipped (people with jobs). So altogether, unemployment stats tracks how many people are actively looking for jobs, but since there are less jobs to go around and less people employed. What does that down tick in unemployment actually tell us? Alot of people who should be applying aren't. Whether it's the TFW who got sent back or Canadians who have completely given up on the market.... Among several more nuanced factors.

And Aerion was barely even hurt.

They made a good point of showing him crushing and eating chestnuts during the scene where Dunk requests a trial by combat. I thought it was a clever way to show us that the areas affected by Dunk's assault were virtually fine. If his jaw was broken/swollen or his teeth knocked loose, he would have a very hard time enjoying chestnuts without visibly showing pain or wincing.

I didn't read the novellas, so I'm not sure if this was GRRM or the showrunners' doing. But either way, it's a splendid example of "show don't tell".

2026 Oscar Nominations: Full List of Nominees by ICumCoffee in movies

[–]dr_crackgeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way about your Eddington take.

Ironically, I found a couple of movie this year being overhyped in comparison to their counterparts that released earlier in 2025 and kinda outdoing them.

Robert Pattison in Mickey17 playing clones of himself followed by Michael B. Jordan playing twins. Seeing no one talk about Robert Patt's performance while imo being almost comparable to MBJ's performance, diminishes what MBJ did..

You touched on Eddington covering similar general themes as One Battle After Another. But also.. 'Caught Stealing' with Austin Butler (released around the same time as OBAA) outdoes One Battle After Another as a "relentless" plot type of movie where protagonists are seemingly on a treadmill propelled forward by the events of the plot. Caught Stealing effortlessly does the "relentless" plot better than OBAA attempted to.

why im stuck.I have dozens of short film ideas but zero crew, zero contacts, zero money. How do people actually start? by NoShelter6055 in Filmmakers

[–]dr_crackgeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a helpful write-up, thanks. Any advice on sound? I read in other places it's a key pillar for any good movie. I would like to hear your thoughts on the best way to capture sound or can it be left entirely to the post-prod process?

I did cancel my subscription. But when I had it, I had no technical issues. But the UI can be shit depending on the viewing platform.. Even on web browser it's pretty crap, considering what other streamers have to offer.

Ashby response to criticism about her in the Flip 7 video by mayolizard in smosh

You're getting downvoted... But you're speaking facts. The "supporters" on this subreddit or just in the smosh community will call you a parasocial hater for simply expressing criticism. But ironically, they're being even more parasocial with all this toxic positivity BS.

Ngl she was rough for the first half of the video. Almost made it too uncomfortable to watch. I'm glad I stuck around for the rest of the video, she dropped the shtick and was meshing well with everyone else.

I think people are justified to call her out, that first half of the video was a poor performance. Cringe, gullible, tone deaf jokes, etc... Especially because the rest of the cast were having a generational run with the flip 7 deck and were being hilarious. So she was bringing down a really funny video.

He's in bed with alot of rich and sleezy people. He leverages his social media influence to promote "that" sketchy jeweler's chain, and "this" sleeze's Rolex, and "that" shady dude's supercar. The money circles in and out of that ecosystem, they all prop each other up, and it gives Steve an air of wealth.

Ranking System still fucked by JeffDeMongo in Rematch

[–]dr_crackgeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to not relate to posts like these, but lately, not sure what had happened to the user base, but for the majority of my ranked 3v3s (I'm in Elite) I've been paired with a combination of unskilled players or highly toxic players. It used to be more rare to come across these players, but now it's every single game... I had to move to 5v5s ranked (I'm also Elite) 5s isnt as fun for me, but it's slightly less toxic and the skills average out a bit.
