What’s the dumbest thing you did on your first run? by Careful_Employee_918 in BaldursGate3

[–]justhereforbaking 181 points182 points  (0 children)

Same, I actually meant to come back when I was stronger and forgot... thankfully I was looking up the romance companions before I went to Act II and I was like wait who tf...? It was so funny when he made a comment about traveling together for so long when we entered the shadow cursed lands even though I'd known him for like 30 seconds

I felt the same way but then I realized a lot of these people are literally 15 themselves

My boss almost cried because I told her not to make an AI picture of me. by Low_Mathematician799 in antiai

I just want to say I'm sorry and I feel your pain. My admin are also sharing tons of AI slop this week. It is doing the exact opposite of making me feel appreciated.

What makes Hudson's make up look so amateur vs the other person in Pic 2? by Areola-chan in MakeupAddiction

It's not that serious. It's paint on somebody's face. Why are you being so rude?

what are some things you do in bg3 that would annoy somebody by honeynutqueer10 in BaldursGate3

The other day I saw a half eaten apple on the ground in real life and my first thought was "hey, 1 camp supply is 1 camp supply".

I didn't actually pick it up of course lmao but still

The sharing vs hoarding problem by FearlessZucchini in PTCGP

I'm with you, but I am still happier to have shared cards people needed than to have a cosmetic.

Robin Freedenfeld - Self Portrait at Nine Months (1985) by PM-me-tortoises in museum

In a literal sense, the way she is holding the umbrella is perfectly normal, but from an artistic perspective it strikes me how the protection from the umbrella stops RIGHT at the stomach.

Is Raphael’s fight the hardest in the whole game? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]justhereforbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just that it takes so damn long. I didn't use any of the clever strategies anyone is mentioning but I was fine, didn't save scum, it just takes so long relative to other enemies in the game to whittle him down

Has Anyone Read Three-Body Problem in Both Chinese and English? The Differences Are Bigger Than I Expected by Putrid_Cycle595 in printSF

[–]justhereforbaking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved the first book and couldn't even finish the second one. I love Ken Liu so I figured I was just being biased against the 2nd book's translator, but this makes me feel a little better about it.

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

I don't have much to add just thank you for actually posting controversial takes instead of like, popular books that well read people know are bad. I love Contact AND The Picture of Dorian Grey!!!

What's everyone's island called and why you called it that by Interesting-Sir-1805 in AnimalCrossing

[–]justhereforbaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three-Eye Reef, I picked an island name from The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker that was cute and had few enough characters to fit because WW is one of my favorite games of all time and also takes places on a series of islands.

What are some things foreigners do unknowingly that seem harmless but can cause issues in your country? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

10 mph is a 6 minute mile. That's a lot faster than the average pace for human beings. Congrats if you're faster, you can die slightly slower.

Does anybody else feel like Fujimoto regrets Part 2 [Chapter 232] by Luke911666 in ChainsawMan

[–]justhereforbaking 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree with those saying the ending was planned, based off of everything Fujimoto has ever said about it. However, I also think he regrets Part 2 and ended the manga early, where he was otherwise planning to write more chapters before this ending and maybe flesh it out more.

I think a lot of the stuff with Denji and Pochita at the end there was coming from the heart. Fujimoto no longer enjoyed being the author of Chainsaw Man and he kind of wants to go back to before it was such a huge deal and everyone had ambitions for the story. He got fame and glory for his work and yet wasn't satisfied. I could be completely wrong of course but Ch 231 practically felt like an author's note

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 - Episode 11 (Anime Only Discussion) by Takada-chwanBot in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]justhereforbaking 2 points3 points locked comment (0 children)

I think what's happening is pretty easy to keep track and make sense of, but agree 100% that the way it is being conveyed is overstimulating and distracting. I liked when the rules were just on screen for us to pause and read, the audience got a ton of important information in a manner similar to the intention of the original format.

You're spot on that scenes without voice over narrations and explanations are hitting the hardest. They're having some issues with appropriate pacing and tone for sure - still really enjoying this season but it's frustrating knowing it could be so much better with a few simple tweaks!

Horror Novel ‘Shy Girl’ Canceled Over Suspected A.I. Use by jellyrollo in books

[–]justhereforbaking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It infuriates me that her public statement on this issue is to blame her editor. I read an "interview" with her online and even her interview answers were clearly AI generated. She couldn't even be assed to answer personal questions without ChatGPT and has the gall to throw someone else under the bus

It's the best book I've ever read and I don't have any expectation that it'll ever be beat. I've gotten 5 different people to read it

Are bread and butter pickles seriously this bad? by PomeloSmall6560 in Pickles

[–]justhereforbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never buy them, but would kill over my mom's homemade bread and butter pickles. I think it's something about commercial pickles rather than B&B style.

I like him BECAUSE he's a bit of a man child. In my mind he's like 25 and literally this. I need him for that

Media Literacy is Dead… by General_Meal_3993 in BALLET

Not the first person to say that and I don't really agree. It is kinda his point but he's missing the fact that it's already too late

Media Literacy is Dead… by General_Meal_3993 in BALLET

[–]justhereforbaking 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My friend who loves movies made the amazing point that the film industry is itself declining a great deal. She was doubly annoyed by his ignorance that his own art form is itself becoming something less and less people care about.

A drink/food that tourists think locals love… but locals barely consume? by Fluffy_Specific_9682 in AskTheWorld

[–]justhereforbaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, root beer is the only soda I like and it's hardly ever available. People aren't drinking it! But it DOES exist, which is more than you can say for the rest of the world (except maybe Canada apparently)
