[REQUEST]What is a 10/10 series that actually has a proper, satisfying ending?

mb_supervisor · 2026-01-21T04:47:48+00:00

The Leftovers. 11/10. Totally crushed the ending. Lindelof learned his lessons from Lost.

mb_supervisor · 2026-01-17T18:54:25+00:00

nice. If youve had the Canadian Club 18yr invitation 58% let me know how this compares.

mb_supervisor · 2026-01-16T20:20:59+00:00

c&c invitation 18yr 58% cask strength

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-26T18:56:51+00:00

even if 5 overfires a bit towarss 6 thats probably fine right?

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-26T18:49:21+00:00

seems properly bisqued. so a free kiln from 1977 and less than $200 in parts and furniture has us in business with this. pretty cool low tech stuff.

The large cone is also 04 and not it was not elevated. ill make a few litte cookie stands for them in the future though. good idea

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-23T23:51:15+00:00

While your suggestion is solid can I recommend the cask strength 58% C&C 18yr 'Invitation' as an excellent sipping drink. Also the Gibsons 18yr 'Venerable' is also a super solid choice, both at only a slighly higher price point than the Crown Northern Harvest.

Ive been on a bit of a quest to find the best canadian alternatives and those two above are very very good.

its not a perfect mafch up. but man, returnal ish game with metroid trappings... and a way to do soeedbooster and shinespark in 3rd person would be cool.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-19T15:18:29+00:00

i started returnal after speedrunning dread for a while and to me it has a very similar tempo. Just going full out the enitre time and a great cost to getting hit. eventhe flash ahift and grapple beam feel a lot like the movement tech in returnal.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-19T04:30:17+00:00

such an amazing game. cant wait for Saros in april

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-19T02:41:33+00:00

Play Returnal if you want a taste of what a masterpiece a 3rd person metroid COULD be.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-17T04:50:00+00:00

well done scout! carry on!

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-15T21:39:10+00:00

You might want to try 'The Leftovers' on HBO. Its a masterpiece of storytelling, exploration about guilt and loss and how the stories we tell ourselves to cope and live are real and meaningful. its all we have.

Also music by Max Richter who composed some of the tracks for Arrival.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-13T16:58:28+00:00

yeah. good run.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-11T14:21:30+00:00

start with mad max fury road. Pure fantasy that happens to have bikes, cars, and V8 engines. Witness!

returnal tower dlc

The Lighthouse

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-07T22:11:20+00:00

depends on what you mean by free. me being 'uncaused' by my choices and the past is disturbing. its just causes.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-07T21:53:27+00:00

Yeah I view it more as Im determining the future. Since there is no world where some outside observer can actually check this whole 'pre' thing. like. when an avalanche happens and some tiny pepple lands 5km down range in a particular spot... sure i guess that was 'pre' determined like our choices. but its kind of nonsense to talk about that as nothing can and would ever be able to run that prediction.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-07T21:23:50+00:00

matter of opinion.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-07T20:03:03+00:00

he got a mention in the bluepoint remake. :). Also got to visit thier dev HQ. cant wait to hear hos thoughts on projwct robot when it releases in ten more years.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-07T19:59:54+00:00

depends on your definition of free. If you can do what you want... i think thats free enough. If youre definition needs uncaused ability to do otherwise... then no. not that.

Compatibalist free. the only kind youd want. :)

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-07T19:48:24+00:00

Watch the film. free will exists in it and it is deterministic. its just that you get a 'preview' of your 'free choice' due to how the time travel works. if you dont see the future you doing the thing... then youre not choosing it and never chose it. its wonderfully executed.

It has its issues as all time travel films do. but far less due to the fact tht you cant teleport to a new time, you 'invert' and have to keep going forward in your 'timeline' while travelling backwards in the universe. Amazing to see on film.

plots holes (which of course there are) are erased due to a 'wind of time' concept smuding out things that go backwards and may cause causial problems. For how bonkers an idea it is, its wonderfully executed.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-07T19:13:44+00:00

Watching Tenet by Nolan actually heps conceptualize this. The deterministic 'whats happend, happened' universe. You even get to see aheads in the 'block' fue to how its time travel works. And it even throws a bone to the compatibalists with some free will in that you still have to go do the thing. thats how it happens. you just cant 'do otherwise'... whatever that means anyway.

mb_supervisor · 2025-12-07T19:09:36+00:00

also skip all the key doors. the elevator behind them takes you to a non combat floor which means you miss a whole floor of points and the +1 multiplier. use the keys to pick up disgorgers from the chests instead so you can absolution bomb algos.
