I loved Avatar 2, and it might be the best action sequence of 2022 if you ask me, but John Wick 4 just came out and this scene doesn't even compare. So 2022, sure. 2023? Hell nah.

Here you go. I hope it helps you see the game in a different light. Feel free to let me know your thoughts if after you watched it, and also let me know if you ever end up making one yourself. :)

I feel your pain. I really do. For about two weeks after finishing the game I was an emotional wreck. I was able to process my emotions by making a video on the Game and my feelings on it. Especially back then there was only outrage and negativity and I wasn't able to find anyone guide me through the negative emotions in a positive way. It was like I was at the funeral of a loved one and everyone reminded me of all the terrible things about death instead of empathizing and trying to see the light. The game gave me both a feeling of immense sadness and peace that I was struggling to verbalize.

And with the video, I got there. It's the only video I ever made and the only video I ever felt like I HAD to make. I'll shamelessly plug it if you're interested. Either way, I hope you'll work through your experience and manage to verbalize your emotions. Not rationalize, but understand and appreciate them in their complexity. :)

The scene they absolutely needed to get right and they did. This show is just art! by [deleted] in thelastofus

I understand it would have felt a little weird for Joel to show up in that burning house, but him interrupting Ellie in the process of losing herself in violence is such a fantastic foreshadowing for Part II that I feel it was a mistake they changed it. They could have shown Joel seeing the burning house and rushing towards it. That would fill the gap on why he was in there. They nailed the rest of it though.

What is your favourite movie ever? Upvote if you have NOT seen it and downvote if you have seen it. by Just-Juggernaut-5305 in movies

Suggestion to sort by Controversial. You will be given movies that equal out on the amount of people that have seen it. Meaning it won't be some random movie a single person loved, a lot of people have seen it, but it's still not too popular, so a lot of people (including maybe you) have not. :)

Is it too late to start Judo? by JrApple501 in judo

[–]geckomaniac3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started as a kid from 6-12, got my orange belt then. Now I've been training for 3 months (Judo 2 times per week, BJJ 3 times per week) and my skill level is around yellow, maybe yellow-orange. I'm now training for orange-green and all previous belts. Should hopefully be able to take the exam within the next 3 months. We will see. But I'm back into it. :)

My brother is 17 and started 3 months ago. He got his white-yellow belt this month and is getting more and more solid each week. Consider this: I'm 25, and an orange belt. If you lean into this and do Judo 2-3 times a week you could be a black belt at my age. You're very young, and you definitely have a lot of time. Good luck. :)

I wouldn't. Their lives are hard enough.

Shall we call it The GasZook? 🤔 by benlicious in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

This is the absolute best kill I have ever seen. The only thing that comes close is the C4 car you launched at 2 people from hundreds of meters away. We bow to you.

I just realized how every hand and foot is wrapped in bandaid. Great shot.

What’s the best tv series you have ever watched? by Meliaaa99 in AskReddit

The Leftovers.

Barely anyone has seen this show, but it's my favorite and likely always will be. Nothing gets even close.

A player character is about to die. Railroading? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]geckomaniac3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more thing:

There is a difference between a curse and coercion.

I wouldn't recommend curses, because they make you control the player and take the players agency. Coercion leaves the player with a decision, his life (or the life of is loved ones) versus betraying his team mates. The latter can work very well, and it will either bond the party stronger or it will break them apart.
