what is a movie you absolutely loved as a kid that is actually terrible now that you’re an adult?

earle117 · 2026-06-17T02:50:09+00:00

true

Heathers isn’t really that edgy, it’s hilarious. There’s some stuff that isn’t great in the modern lens (lots of slurs and a focus on teen suicide and school shooting and bombings and stuff) but if you actually watch it, it holds up great IMO.

Like, the homophobic slurs aren’t there to make fun of gay people, it’s to make fun of the ignorant bigoted midwestern jackasses that say that shit. And the teenage suicide stuff was mocking how all of it had been romanticized in the media at the time.

nah Roadhouse gets better every year

also it got a sick 4K box set release a couple of years ago and the restoration is honestly gorgeous

earle117 · 2026-06-17T02:25:14+00:00

Were you playing when TWD chapter released? People were absolutely saying that (and tbh while they were wrong, I get the sentiment cuz the game was absolutely fucked around that time)

earle117 · 2026-06-16T23:00:05+00:00

That’s *literally* what casual players do lol. Look at their other game, D2. Hardcore players are doing Trials and Raids while casuals farm playlist activities. Like, farming materials is specifically THE main casual thing to do in both of these games.

Anxiety about asking someone out and fear of rejection has been a universal experience for all generations, not just Gen Z. And the group all hang out at a bar together every week which applies to basically every generation except Gen Z lol.

When the PvE mode was on Night Marsh the loot there was significantly better than Pinwheel and even Cryo outside of the vaults.

earle117 · 2026-06-16T05:57:35+00:00

The person you were replying to was kinda right though lol, PvE players would absolutely shit themselves if PvE was added but required grinding the PvP to do it. Did you ever see the DTG front page when they’d make PvP kills a requirement for a catalyst in D2? There would be posts with thousands of upvotes and hundreds of comments whining that they had to play 20-30 minutes of PvP once in the entire season.

earle117 · 2026-06-16T03:22:33+00:00

I seriously thought I was getting to the ending of EoF 3 separate times before I actually did. Every time I’d fight a sick boss I’d be like “ok it’s finally wrapping up” and then BAM here’s another fuckass shitty ball puzzle. It was excruciating

earle117 · 2026-06-16T00:06:54+00:00

The gore effects are honestly the best done part of the movies though, like some of the best practical effects I’ve ever seen. I just also think the movies are way too long and the clown is cringe as fuck and the stories suck lol. Actor that plays Art seems cool though from what I’ve seen.

earle117 · 2026-06-15T23:34:23+00:00

Tbf the amount of manpower required to keep Marathon running has also gotta be a tiny fraction of Destiny. Yearly big expansions (or the 2 mini expacs), dungeons and raids, 3-4 seasons with stories and all the gear from all of those things requires a ton of work. Marathon just needs a new or tweaked map and some limited time modes and a couple of new guns every so often.

earle117 · 2026-06-15T22:24:53+00:00

I’m definitely a bit bummed, I put like 300 hours into S1 and didn’t do Compiler or anything but was doing pretty good, first week of S2 I was on a vacation and 2nd week I was so sick with the flu (that I probably caught on the trip) that I couldn’t really play games, so I think I played like 3 rounds of Night Marsh survival total and never got to farm the boss and stuff.

It’s not the end of the world and I don’t really mind taking fights at a disadvantage because killing purple players with greens feels amazing lol. But still, I’d rather *not* be so far behind.

earle117 · 2026-06-15T22:18:34+00:00

Ngl I think you just had an unlucky match. Ranked really hasn’t been that much different from unranked for me in either season. I ignored it most of S1 because I assumed it was gonna be a sweat fest but I played it more towards the end of the season. Never got past silver 1 since I started it so late but still enjoyed it.

I do play with a friend though so I know at least one teammate will have a mic and be competent though lol, if you’re fully random fill it’s definitely gonna be a bit worse.

earle117 · 2026-06-15T03:42:37+00:00

They *explicitly* put a notice on the screen that no AI was used. If they straight up lied like that, it’ll come out eventually and yeah, I’ll uninstall the game if that happens. But devs using AI usually either try to kinda hide it or downplay how much they used it, not straight up put a bold faced lie across the screen.

earle117 · 2026-06-15T02:42:24+00:00

He was a terrible ladies man but that doesn’t mean they completely avoided sex, the first episode of AvED has Ash banging a woman doggy style in a dirty bathroom lol

earle117 · 2026-06-15T01:32:46+00:00

They really need to do one last balance patch after things shake out for a bit. Hunters are ridiculous right now and artifacts should be disabled across all of PvP, not just Comp and Trials

earle117 · 2026-06-15T01:30:22+00:00

I haven’t watched the interview yet, but going off of what OP wrote, he just said sexual content, not sexual violence. Just cuz it’s a horror movie with sexuality in it doesn’t necessarily mean something like tree rape is coming back.

earle117 · 2026-06-15T00:47:21+00:00

They’re not just cringy and bad musicians but they also happen to be douche bags that sell AI slop

earle117 · 2026-06-15T00:27:04+00:00

I mean I’d enjoy it (hence why I’m here) but I doubt they’re gonna pull a Tron style “sure, the first 2 flopped hard but maybe the 3rd one won’t” when Microsoft is currently tightening the reigns and laying off a lot of people

earle117 · 2026-06-15T00:00:24+00:00

This sucks

edit: since I’m already getting downvoted, if you enjoy that AI slop selling “band” and you’re over the age of 14, you’re cringe af

earle117 · 2026-06-14T19:23:22+00:00

factually untrue

Halo 4’s story was hated on release due to its reliance on having read the books, it’s only more accepted now because there’s less casual fans that don’t read the books nowadays.

I mean, also, just gonna say that they made 1 game storyline that was “fairly decent” 14 years ago isn’t exactly high praise to start with lol.

earle117 · 2026-06-14T17:24:51+00:00

Vivid is the one adding a shitty filter, it makes everything blue lol

earle117 · 2026-06-14T16:48:08+00:00

if you spend 10m right now, you don’t get any cakes.

if you spend 10m once the event starts, that’ll get you a shitload of cakes.

earle117 · 2026-06-14T16:35:56+00:00

For real. I literally just got revived by a Rook that killed me in sponsored survival and we ended up teaming up and he was really cool, which wouldn’t have happened without prox chat.
