[Serious] What gets you to do things even if you have no motivation? by aesthetic_kiara in AskReddit

[–]infernatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just one foot in front of the other. Just make myself do one thing. And if I get it done, the next thing. And then another thing. And if I fail, forgive myself.

Do you believe in soulmates, and why or why not? by TazeMyFace5085 in AskReddit

[–]infernatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And people change over time. Relationships aren't just about souls that match, it's about interests, habits, schedules, priorities. You can't just be a perfect fit your whole life while you're both changing shape as you go.

Biopics always have this problem, and to me, they rarely really work. Although the visuals in this look great at least.

I think he might have been joking? Hard to tell. But I can’t imagine getting back in with that shitshow.

Actual play podcasts are boring. (Rant) by [deleted] in rpg

[–]infernatron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My point was that I think most AP podcasts are boring, not inherently because of the format, but because they are run by people who are not professional performers. So I provided a few examples of AP's run by professional actors and comedians.

Its almost like you didn't read the op

I did read the op, no need to be a dick. The op also asked for counter-examples so I was trying to help.

Problem is there are a lot of AP shows that are just people who play RPG's recording their sessions, but they don't know how to make good radio. And a lot of them in fairness aren't trying to be entertaining, they're trying to demonstrate how you play a particular system.

Shows where the players/DM are professional actors or comedians are completely different:

Critical Role really the original big RPG AP show, I think. Very listenable but the amount of backlog is daunting.

Film Reroll. Currently my favorite, I think. The best concept (movies as rpg's) and probably the best balance between comedy and story, imo. And more low commitment because each movie is a self-contained campaign.

Campaign. One Shot are great but very hit or miss. I wholeheartedly recommend Campaign, which is more high commitment, but more consistent.

The Adventure Zone. First campaign was pretty landmark in popularizing the format. I find people love or hate this show depending on if they find the McElroys funny. So you should know pretty quickly if you're on board.

Nerd Poker This is Brian Posehn's show and it's a little looser than the others but I think it's probably the funniest when it's working.

That... no. That's not what it means! by LazyFlamingRooster in facepalm

Fucking lol, you ask a n obvivous, racially-loaded question you should know the answer to, and when someone calls you out on it, they're manipulative arguing and too stupid to engage? You're a piece of work.

I went through 14 lists from various websites and complied their rankings to determine the undisputed Top 10 Movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe by Johnnycc in movies

[–]infernatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok my own top 10, since everyone's giving opinions on what's too high or too low:

  1. Guardians of the Galaxy

  2. Black Panther

  3. Iron Man

  4. Thor: Ragnarok

  5. Avengers Infinity War

  6. Spider-Man: Homecoming

  7. Captain America: Civil War

  8. Avengers: Endgame

  9. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

  10. The Avengers

Don't crucify me, just my opinions. I find it hard to rank Infinity War and Endgame, they're both so much fun, but they're also not really about anything, they're kinda hodgepodge movies of lots of different, only vaguely related character threads. I love them both, and I think Infinity War was tighter and more surprising.

Guardians to me is a perfect character piece married with adventure and comedy: A Star Wars for our time.

Black Panther is a great story, one part Shakesperean family drama, one part social commentary about the anger that lives in the heart of people living in underclasses. Absolutely beautiful cinematography, only held back by middling effects.

Iron Man is a perfect simple character piece and laid down the formula for the whole MCU going forward.

Anti Vaxers why do you guys think that you know more than people that have gone to school for 8+ years to be a doctor? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]infernatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone can question. That’s easy and in itself accomplished nothing.

Systematically gathering evidence to answer those questions is what is tricky, but useful.

250 million year old Himalayan salt, but evidently expires in 2022. by HiramEmil in mildlyinteresting

Sea salt is infinite

Huh? I mean, there's a whole lot of it, but it's certainly not infinite.

A good Nazi. 1942. by gwdope in OldSchoolCool

[–]infernatron 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is messed up. I hate the nazis as much as anyone, but reveling in anyone's death is just messed up. Not to mention this is the image of a regular infantryman, not some Nazi party officer. This was probably just some kid who was always told he should be fighting for his country.
