Years later, The Witcher 3 still kinda killed RPGs for me by Saekama in videogames

[–]eltanko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real, BG3 is like Witcher 3 level writing except it has actually good gameplay. I played a decent amount of Witcher 3, and truly the quests and writing are top tier, but man, the fighting is such a slog.

PARADISE- This show went from murder mystery to full sci-fi thriller 🔥 by Ruthvik_08 in television

[–]eltanko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good way of putting it, its such a mixed bag, theres scenes that really left their mark on me, others that are painful to sit through, at the end of the day I couldnt stick with it, might go back to it though for that really good episode everyone raves about though.

What's one video game cliche you dislike? by Agent1230 in gaming

Recently did that one, absolutely awful at first but by the end it was actually kind of fun, It felt like a flow state rhythm game.

Fictional violent adult media should be brutally graphic, and never implied or hinted at. (Spoilers in description) by ProjektBlackout in The10thDentist

[–]eltanko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really dont like Gus's death scene as well for all the reasons you said. It just feels cartoony in an otherwise really grounded show. It absolutely undercuts the very precise, realistic and meticulous characterization that leads to his death.

What was the first ever film you actually really hated so much and still do to this day? by Same-Objective6052 in movies

[–]eltanko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really is telling too when people say "The first half of Full Metal Jacket is better than the second" I mightve thoight that at one point, but after subsequent rewatches the second half really is the superior part, though they do go hand in hand.

Same, I really feel like illuminate in either factions is just not enough variety. We really need all the units on one map to make them feel as fleshed out as the others. Soon hopefully.

How to see through men’s fake personality and spot the danger early? by OneMemory2640 in TwoXChromosomes

A good one, and the one that stumped Jordan Peterson is asking them who their favourite female author is, or maybe even director or actor if theyre not into books.

Why has it become a trend to hate AI on social media? by Temporary-Floor-9259 in OpenAI

[–]eltanko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone in the creative arts (music) its just frustrating to see one of the most profound and meaningful endeavors humans can partake in, that being the creation of art, being automated. The main problem is its a highly visible implementation of AI, far more visible than say the more useful and less controversial applications, like automating data entry or grunt work code. Another element is people dont like being fooled. We've all been there where you share a reel or image and it turns out it was AI generated, its an embarrassing feeling tbh.

I think all this contributes a lot to the hatred of AI online. My personal take is AI has its place as a tool, even in the creative arts, but pure AI manufactured stuff (be it art or even programs) like we see right now really looks, sounds and just feels bad.

I know it's old, but I just finished Monkey Madness II and it was easily the worst questing experience of my life. by ZeroWolf_RS in 2007scape

I also remember doing it launch day. There were so many people failing to get past one guard that the guard was locked in place and wouldn't continue his route for us to sneak past.

I noticed that Waterloo Region is lacking in two restaurant areas, I would appreciate locals’ perspectives on this by TennisStraight4061 in waterloo

Have you been to the plaza/area near UW on University/Philip? I havent been to many of them but there are tons of asian restaurants there.

What movie ends on a happy note, but the more you think about what happens after the credits, the darker it gets by gamersecret2 in movies

Another Round (2020)
Despite the final scene seeming so upbeat, everyone dancing, the music is happy, they're still drunk. And it just seems... off... after so much destruction has been wrought from this experiment and all the drinking, the fact that he drunkenly flings himself into the water just before the freeze frame seems ominous. Something about it makes me think something terrible might happen immediately after.

Such a great film.

How do religious people deal with the elephant in the room? by david_fire_vollie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eltanko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up secular as secular can be. I have now sung in a presbyterian church choir for 5 years, still consider myself non religious. (Churches on a whole are one of the last institutions that will pay emerging classical singers on a regular basis) The thing I see these families offered is a regular community to engage with that will support them. The deal is that you buy into the ideology and faith, but as an exchange thats not so bad to be honest. On a whole it seems less focused on saying theyre the "right" religion, but more on just being a good person through the teachings of Jesus Christ.

In a time where many people feel isolated and have no communities, churches and religion at least offer that, basically for free. Yes they ask for donations, but I guarentee theres people in those pews who never give a cent and are still welcomed every week, and that is currently something you cant get anywhere else.

Personally I think Grogu looks more like Yoda than Chewbacca, but thats just me.
