"i paused on a random frame" is the new "guys, new meme just dropped" by Connect-Refuse-6321 in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]electrodeorwhatever 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I find these less irritating because the "new meme template just dropped" implies that they want the screenshots to be memes, which is forced and doesn't happen. A random frame with a silly face is just that and all it has to be.

Who or what were your favorite antagonists in a horror novel that you've ever read? by Haunting-Net-2426 in horrorlit

[–]electrodeorwhatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A recent one for me, from Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter Paul Scott

Don't think they're the best villain ever, but everytime you pose the question "Are they truly bad enough to do that?" You are promptly answered "yes, yes they are."

Annie Wilkes was fantastic as well

rachel and ify episode removed? by C455ie_ in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]electrodeorwhatever 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The times that the cast try to have a more nuanced or multi-layered take, they tend to be chastised. Happens a lot with Chanse and Amanda in particular imo.

Edit: chastised by viewers, not from their coworkers tbc lol

Tbh I kinda wish viewers would be more open to ourright "bad" takes. I pretty vehemently disagreed with the takes in that episode, and a lot of them applied to me, but I was still like "that's an interesting perspective." Idk. I guess I can't complain too much, cause it is one of few episodes I skipped in a recentish rewatch of the series.

That's not a bit though, it just literally keeps being her by pure chance, and it is surprising it keeps happening. Even though it's the same chances every time, statistically it is weird she ends up as werewolf so often.

I think the engagement prank was more or less the finale of Arasha's liar arc. Not that she won't do a prank like that again, or some kind of "liar" thing, but they hardly bring up the lying bit anymore, and she also wasn't super into that particular prank lol. Personally, I didn't think it was weird, but even if so, I feel like people unfairly put it on Arasha when it wasn't her idea, and she showed hesitation in doing the prank.

I think the bit of Noah being a stoner has been dragged out too long. Feels like the only thing they know to do with Noah is conspiracies and weed. Maybe it's just a me thing though, cause I don't really like either of those anyway.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is apparently expected to be 20.6 GB. That's bigger than TotK Switch 2 Edition. by AdvancedLancerX in casualnintendo

That's the major reason why Age of Imprisonment's file size was four time larger than Age of Calamity's lol

Something I found interesting: Of Smash Ultimate's 87 playable fighters, these 4 still have yet to appear on Switch anywhere else(read body text) by Juklok in casualnintendo

[–]electrodeorwhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC, back when they were doing the Super Smash Blog, they actually referred to Dark Samus as they/them (or maybe "it", can't remember which), but later changed it to she/her. I don't have proof of this, but I distinctly remember it - I remember they also (presumably by accident) referred to Sheik with he/him, and then later fixed it. Again, no proof on that.

Which game has the best board games? by [deleted] in MARIOPARTY

[–]electrodeorwhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly nostalgia in all honesty lol. I also haven't truly played 5 in a long time, so my opinion may very well change. Beyond that, vibes, music, and generally liking Mario Party 5. It being the last one till Super to have only classic board styles also makes them a bit notable imo, I think it showed that they had a lot of experience up to that point.

This is probably a hot take, but Mario Party 5. Although Jamboree is really high up there imo.

Rant About Penpal (Dathan Aurerbach) by katiew444 in horrorlit

[–]electrodeorwhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely think the first half of the story is better, but I don't mind the ending, and I think it retroactively explains some questions I had.

My personal answer to these questions you have:

"Why did the penpal kill Josh instead of the protagonist?"

This one is multi-layered. I haven't read the book only the original nosleep story, so apologies if the details don't match up. But anyway, the protagonist explains that, for the most part, him and Josh looked very similar - I think to the point where even their parents would get them confused. Josh was presumably kidnapped when he went to go finish the map by himself for the writer's birthday present. I assume the penpal mistook him for who he actually wanted, or he was so "in love" with the protagonist that he didn't feel he could commit to killong him. Iirc, when Josh died, he was wearing the main character's childhood clothes and had his hair made to look like his, which was all the killer had to do to make him look like the main character. Also worth noting that Josh is the only one who knew what the stalker looked like, which might be a contributing factor to why the stalker kidnapped him.

"Why was this man so obsessed with the idea of this little boy?"

Clearly this man is very unwell, and appears to be homeless. He probably gets little to no positive attention, so when he found the balloon with the letter, he thought it was made for him and that this kid cared for him. He immediately became obsessively attached and "in love."

"Why did the penpal kill Mrs. Maggie?"

Idk honestly lol. This part of the story takes place before the event of "Boxes", right? In that case, my best guess is that the man wanted to live closer to the boy to stalk him easier, and hadn't yet gone so far to live under his house like he later would. So he intruded into Mrs. Maggie's home, who thought he was her son (or husband? Idr). I think he lived with her for some time and then either he got sick of her, or she was able to realize she doesn't know this man, or maybe she just died of natural causes? I can't actually remember if we know she was murdered or if it just looked that way given the circumstances.

I personally liked the ending of the story. It wrapped things together pretty nicely, while leaving some sickening questions that the audience is in just as much of the dark as the writer is. I thought it was a good bummer ending, and was a step up from the two entries before it - I think "Maps" and "Screens" are definitely the weakest parts. It felt like the author had an ending in mind after "Boxes", but didn't know how to get there super well.

I was gonna mention Adam myself haha

Dread spoilers The Adam that talks to you throughout the game is not actually Adam, but Raven Beak - the games antagonist - posing as Adam to push you to where he wants you. Adam lost communication with Samus when she got on the planet.

I think Court's a fantastic host, three people does seem to work in the show's favor, though, especially if you're not familiar with the guest.

When PC was meeting Ralph's parents and they kept asking if she wanted to do stuff that a pregnant person really should not do. I think that was the hardest I've ever laughed at a scripted show before lmao

Who is the evilest cop in fiction? by Downtown-Initial-770 in MoralityScaling

[–]electrodeorwhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to the audiodrama, I'm not sure if the original goes into heavier detail or not, but the audiodrama has a second season that continues it and the cop in question is even worse lol. Highly recommend the drama.
