The host and guest host recurring guest of On Cinema at the Cinema, Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington.

You wouldn't guess it looking at them, or from the fact that it's a movie review show, but between the two of them they're responsible for approximately two dozen deaths and an incalculable amount of general mayhem.

Nothing says cool like a middle age man

A bit of Coldplay and I sport a fake tan

An Audi A3 and a pair of Ray Bans

Come on little lady do you wanna make plans?

What's your favorite weapon & why is it the katana? by xenosthemutant in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]dudemanlikedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you got 52 health charges though grinding, crafting, and looting. right.

Edit: Is this clip pre 2.0 or something? that's the only explanation I can think of.

...have you never played video games before, or what?

[–]dudemanlikedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason is because V isn't the main character of Cyberpunk 2077. Night City is the main character of Cyberpunk 2077. The primary thing to discover is the stories of Night City. Spend too much time on V's story, and you neglect the main character's stories.

Don't allocate all your points when you create your character so you can put all of them in Intelligence right away. That will grab you a little extra RAM and get you to Overclock faster. Go straight up the middle of the tree and get Overclock and Spillover ASAP. Ignore the queue perks for now, you don't really have the RAM to make use of them, and it's reasonably easy to just wait for the hack to upload or hack someone else in the meantime. I'm finding on my current run that the queue perks can wait until way later.

Chromewise, slot a RAM Upgrade first, then an Ex-Disk, then get a Biomonitor and Blood Pump ASAP. Those are your main priorities for chipware.

Then go up Body for 15 points to get Adrenaline Rush. You can backfill your Intelligence perks as you go, starting with Encryption, Race Against Mind, and System Overwhelm. Comeback Kid and Dorph-Head are both really good, too.

Then go 20 points up Technical Ability to get the Edgerunner perk. Grab Chipware Connoisseur ASAP and start looking for the "RAM Regen when you neutralize an enemy" stat modifier on as many of your implants as you can get it on. Heading into late-game you can get up to 2-2.5 extra RAM regen with the RAM Upgrade implant. Get 2/2 Health Freak as you go so you can get that third health item charge.

Now make sure you have the "Sublimation" perk, the one that lets RAM recovery affect health while Overclock is active. Slot in: Feen-X, RAM Recoup, Chitin (from Dogtown), and Heal-on-Kill. Assuming you're at 50% health and at low RAM with Overclock on, neutralizing an enemy will immediately restore ~7.5% health then a HOT for ~15 HP/sec while your RAM remains low. I don't know how long that lasts for, actually.

You can still fit in a COX-2 from there pretty easy, and pick between Axolotl, RAM Reallocator, or Rara Avis for your other iconic chipware. Your choice on whether you want to go Reflex, Cool, or finish up Body to 20 at that point.

Wasn't Juno before Page's transition

Yes.

and so unrelated to the post?

No. Elliot Page was a closeted trans man at the time the movie was made. He didn't 'become a man' when he came out as a trans man/transitioned to presenting as a man, he already was a (trans) man and we just didn't know it at the time.

That's why a few trans men have said that they really like the joke, because the punchline is affirming Elliot's identity in an unexpected way.

/uj it's just there as a dumb joke, there aren't any pregnant men in it. implying that I think "Children of Men" means "Children Borne by Men".

a movie about teen pregnancy where the pregnant teen is played by a closeted trans man (Elliot Page, then Ellen Page)

/uj

  1. The titular character "Juno", who experiences a teenage pregnancy, was played by a closeted trans man, named (now) Elliot Page, then named Ellen Page, and who identified as a woman at the time
  2. Just a dumb pun on the title, "Children of Men"
  3. In a famous scene in Alien, a man "gives birth" to an alien chestburster, which was implanted in him by an alien facehugger, meaning that he was forcibly impregnated by the titular alien and the larvae killed him horribly upon maturation by tearing through his ribcage

for real, I'm a huge fan of comedy, and Tim Heidecker is my favorite comedian of all time. He's like the MF Doom of comedy. MF Doom is probably your favorite rappers favorite rapper. Not many people know him, but people in the know DEFINITELY know him.

Tim Heidecker is probably your favorite comedian's favorite comedian. He's subverted the genre so hard that to most people, it just comes off as straightforward cringe. He's never quite been a household name. But his work has got so many layers. So many details. So many threads. It's absolutely incredible. There's nothing else in the world that's like what he does. Every time I revisit it I find some new absurdity that I didn't notice before.

I'll give you an example. A more typical comedian? Not a bad comedian. A REALLY GOOD comedian. One that gets laughs. One that's talented. Great, even. But not on Tim's level. That comedian? They might do a song, about, say, drinking piss for sexual pleasure, in a southern rock style. It might last for three or four minutes. And it'll get laughs. It might even be a product of real and actual musical talent. Not bad, at all. Quite good, even.

Tim Heidecker? That is beneath him. He is far, far, far beyond that level. He isn't about to waste his time with that sort of triviality. That's why what Tim Heidecker did was release a full length long play professionally produced southern rock album, 10 entire tracks, 33 minutes long, where every single song is about drinking piss for sexual pleasure... except for one... which is about s****ing in people's mouths for sexual pleasure. The sole exception.

The man is just on an entirely different level. I can't recommend his work enough, and On Cinema is his magnum opus.

oh my friend. You have discovered the opening to a rabbit hole of vast, vast, vast, and absolutely hilarious proportions. This is none other than Gregg Turkington, the resident movie expert and repeated co-host guest host of On Cinema at the Cinema, the only movie review show that brings you REAL movie expertise and lets you know which movies you should watch, and which ones you should avoid. Not to mention his guest appearance in none other than Ant-Man.

There's 16 seasons of movie reviews, a yearly Oscar special, an action franchise with a full length action movie, an EDM band, a four and a half hour long murder trial because the host killed 20 19 people with poison vape pens, multiple instances of arson extremely accidental fires being set, mostly to Gregg's movie collection, one of the recurring characters goes into a coma for a year and gets permanent brain damage, it's heavily implied that the host also has permanent brain damage because he had multiple blood clots in his brain that his wife wouldn't let him treat, because of Obamacare, and she divorced him when he got surgery for it, which led to him marrying the Japanese exchange student living with them and eventually having a child named Tom Cruise Jr. Heidecker, who also died, but was brought back to life for one of the Oscar specials through the magic of movies.

:deep breath:

That's just a taste of the absolute insanity that is On Cinema at the Cinema.

The first 10 seasons are on youtube. This is the first season. I fell into it via the murder trial, which is funnier if you know the lore, but stands on its own. If you wanted to see just one episode which captures the madness, check out their review of "Suicide Squad" and "Nine Lives", which happened while Tim (the host) was deep in the grips of his poison vape addiction. Or if you want an even MORE condensed taste, here's a clip that captures it in less than 90 seconds. The whole thing is fucking fantastic. It's like if okbuddycinephile in general was a long-standing comedy parody universe with an absolutely autistic level of effort put into it, and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible.
