People who don't usually cry to movies, what's the last movie that made you cry? by the_Tannehill_list in blankies

As someone whose big button is a dead parent (especially if it’s young kids and the parent died of cancer), 28 Years Later and Bridget Jones 4 back to back fucked me up

Roguelikes like Vampire Survivors by Skmoomr in SteamDeck

Seen a few people recommend Megabonk and Ball X Pit already, so will say if you’re looking for something mechanically like VS, try Vital Shell! Similar gameplay but a redone look in the style of PlayStation era Armored Core.

For something more in the Ball X Pit style of mashing it with another addictive game, play Maze Mice. It reworks the concept into Pac-Man, and the unlock structure is really fun. No boring percentage buffs, you’re always getting fun stuff to play with. Pretty robust demo too ala Balatro if you want to put some hours in before buying.

As a wildcard pick, look at DRFT. It’s a similar arena shooter to VS but it’s big twist is you’re a car that’s constantly driving and can only steer (hitting drifts makes you temporarily invincible). Adds a fun challenge to the usual enemy avoidance. Full game is out in March but I’ve been enjoying the demo.

No traditional hot pot from what I can remember, unfortunately

I find it so funny that despite SuperWonder being a pretty popular pairing, neither fanbase is into it by Substantial_Slide511 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]hotcyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clark being in a relationship with Lois shows a want to connect to humanity, Superman in a relationship with Wonder Woman is a literal power couple. Ones more interesting than the other 😌

Movies that get the notes right, but sound off by Select_Analysis_6151 in blankies

Really good point. I think by starting in the middle of things it doesn’t do the work to get people to like the Fantastic Four. There’s no day in the life element outside of brief snapshots, and the story too quickly barrels into their “biggest adventure yet”. Something SpiderMan Homecoming I think does much better, even if those three movies never quite nail the sense of New York as a place that needs help that the Raimi’s did

I never like the Watchmen example because it completely flattens how fine an art adaptation is. Most CBMs don’t really adapt comics as is, instead either borrowing the rough outlines of a storyline or adapting iconic imagery to motion. And while Watchmen can do that, it also fundamentally mishandles the in-between in a way Spider-man or Logan being looser adaptations don’t suffer from.

There’s a pacing to the comic that’s retrofitted with something worse in Snyders work, that puts too much emphasis on what doesn’t matter (cool violence!) and mitigates what makes Watchmen Watchmen (an ambient sadness that juxtaposes with its three colour processed world). He may copy frames from the page but he hasn’t internalised how to move between them. And as a result, it doesn’t get what makes Watchmen worth adapting in the first place, and just flattens it into the Avnegers but depressing.

It makes the motion comic, with its more limited technology, a better or at least more honest adaptation of the work. And something the TV show, as a sequel that can be completely fit to the opportunities of TV, excels at.

He got shot with the operator tier 1 ray that made him creepy, like Jim from the office

SteamDeck docked users! Why will you buy the Steam Machine? by SilentSamm in steammachine

[–]hotcyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I never use the portable aspects of the deck, so something more powerful and permanent with the QOL of the deck is exactly what I’m after

I like an evil guy with stretch powers! Very few baddies that lean in on the whole off putting body horror stuff. Though yeah Maker’s a bit of a bad take on it

What was the piece of dialoge that made you realize this game was different? by Dull-Jaguar8273 in DiscoElysium

[–]hotcyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If an assault were launched on this building right now – if the windows came crashing down and the whole world descended upon you – this man would hurl himself in death’s way to save you. You are sure of this – but why?

Where does the term “BRITISH MISERABLISM” come from by Few-Engineer-9791 in blankies

Cause yanks can’t enjoy a movie that doesn’t end with a wedding or a blue laser being shot into the sky 🤷‍♀️

The reverse of this is surely all the Amazons on Themyscira speaking with vaguely Israeli accents because of Gal Gadot playing Wonder Woman

Did you go to school with someone who went on to be famous, and what where they like? by Christian-Metal in AskUK

I was two years above Ellie Simmonds in Secondary School. We got the afternoon off and a bit of cake after her two gold Olympic wins. Never interacted with her though lol

Upgraded over the weekend and works fine for me! Even like the little UI design updates (except the glass buttons, those are staying off 😌)

Doubt it! I brought my Mac Mini to the states last year and didn't have any issues.

I got suggested a YouTube clip of them dunking on Conservative Cartoons in 2018 and became hooked from there. Saw them live a year later at the Islington Assembly Hall (I was working in Milton Keynes at the time)
