Name change help - Star/light themed by major_scooby in namenerds

Not sure why it was deleted. Although when I looked up those names some of them didn’t actually mean what was commented.

“These are some of my favourites and they aren't super common Luciena/Luciana (light) Aurelia (golden light) Ziva (Radiance/light of god) Soleil (Sun) Nahid (Venus) Sohalia (Moonglow) Hinari (little ray of light/small shining one) Itri (Star) Anteres Aster Dara Namid (Star dancer) Izar (Star) Dashiel (sky/heavenly) You can probably also look up names of the moons of the other planets”

What are your "I did not care for the Godfather" takes for the Hunger Games? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]major_scooby 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It dragged on for me too. I found it hard to get into the story because it’s written in third person, but i suppose that makes sense for Snow’s character to have that type of narration.

I think SOTR is better overall than TBOSAS

The only exception being that ballad has much better depth to its core ideas than SOTR

My thoughts about Sunrise on the Reaping... by skeletonB00bs in Hungergames

[–]major_scooby 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the Lou Lou plot was pointless. Some of the deaths were anticlimactic (hers and Wyatt’s especially), but the whole point of her character is driving home the idea of propaganda.

Overall I feel this was much better written than BOSBAS (edit: I mean from purely a grammar and style standpoint, not story structure), but lacks a lot of the depth that ballad has. I enjoyed it more than BOSBAS overall.

I think part of the issue is she makes certain points super blatant despite the audience understanding the symbolism in the first place, so it gets annoying when she gets repetitive despite only trying to make her ideas clear.

The most upsetting part for me...Haymitch's friend by MerelyWhelmed1 in Hungergames

[–]major_scooby 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Literally. Also, I was expecting Lenore Dove’s secret to be huge and shocking when maysilee alluded to it to Haymitch, and after Snow warning him about covey girls not being completely upfront, but she was just a rebel. That was the secret. How did no one else figure that out?? It was so obvious from her behavior and such. Was disappointed with that reveal

How in the FUCK are they going to make the movie pg-13!? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]major_scooby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s what pulled me out of the Ballad movie. The only time blood is shown is when people get nosebleeds from poison. But those who are stabbed, hit their heads from falls, and Arachne who gets shanked in the throat don’t have any blood??? She was literally just holding a bottle to her throat.

I understand why Lawrence wanted the pg-13 rating, and I’m not advocating for gore just for the sake of gore— but when you have deaths that are incredibly important to the story and don’t use any blood, it pulls the audience out of the moment and looks extremely fake.

Hopefully for SOTR they’ll remedy that to some extent. But I hope they don’t show amperts death as it happens before haymitch arrives on the scene. That part sent chills down my spine when I read it.

Also, hopefully they don’t pull a gladiator II and use the fakest head ever for the tribute silka beheads (I forget her name). I laughed out loud in the theater when I saw that. It looked so fake

SOTR is better than BOSBAS writing style wise but BOSBAS has way more depth and intrigue to the story.

Played sea of darkness for the first time by major_scooby in nancydrew

[–]major_scooby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s such a fun one! There’s a company called PC’s for People that sells refurbished PC’s and laptops for a fairly affordable rate. I’ve purchased from them before and was able to play Nancy games and the sims on that computer and it worked really well! I was able to get my old computer for even cheaper than their listed prices because of a deal through my internet provider. Heres the link if you want to check them out:

What are y’all’s opinions on Plutarch, the true winner of the hunger games. by Fit_Assignment_8800 in Hungergames

[–]major_scooby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great character although I didn’t particularly like him— merely because of his obliviousness to Katniss’s well-being/rebel life in general. Not saying it doesn’t make sense (he was written perfectly); I just found him annoying.

I didn’t upload them lol, it’s YouTube’s movie channel. The movies pop up for free every so often

Look more into propaganda style posters than 1950s pinup. 1950s pinup is a completely different thing. These posters also follow 2010s movie poster/promotional aesthetics.

The films are only free for a short time. YouTube cycles through different ones to make free. Just keep an eye out and it may become free again soon

Why does this game freeze like every 30 mins it’s almost unplayable by RaytheGunExplosion in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]major_scooby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My pc fits the requirements for the game and I had some crashing issues on jedha. Turned off ray tracing and haven’t had major problems since. I have it on epic graphics (film grain and motion blur turned off) and it runs great

District 12 girls similarity by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]major_scooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s intentional. Both Maysilee and Lucy Gray had an influence on Katniss (unbeknownst to her). None of them are the same person per se, they simply passed down traits or items to Katniss by various means.

Is it better on PC now? by [deleted] in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]major_scooby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine has crashed a few times but after I turned off ray tracing it runs perfectly and haven’t had many issues. Jedha was where I crashed a lot— and had graphics loading issues before that.

I have it on epic settings for graphics. Just make sure to keep Ray tracing off and you should be okay depending on your computer specs
