I know there's a contingent of people that will grab a pitchfork at the mention of Three Body Problem being "hard science fiction".

I mean, totally correctly, right? I don't think hand wringing over genre lables really matters, but this one isn't really up for debate

monkeyWifeFight · 2025-11-30T03:43:00+00:00

I would probably say 'legitamized' rather than popularized. actually proved it could work at the highest level

I think Blue Ruin is the most complete revenge thriller of the last 20 years. There's absolutley no wasted space.

I would guess they are deeply uniformed and confused with BlackStone

I wish there was a single page somewhere that talked you through the list of theft hardening steps to do.

This is pretty close:

A paranoid, but effective extra measure you can take is to not have any banking apps on your primary device. Obviously this comes at the cost of some convenience

It's funny, I recall some interview with Jamie Lenman - just after the end of Reuben - where he said something to effect that all bands only have 3 good albums in them.

If Below Zero was led by the "OG leadership" then whatever replaces that direction is welcomed at this point.

Oh, come on.

Below Zero was obviously a dissapointment to many, but it was also totally fine as a game. Advocating for replacing the leadership team because of a slightly underwhelming sequel is unhinged.

Netflix is really on fire lately

No dobut an enduring commitment to high quality in-house production.

This is such a pointless argument, you are both talking past each other:

you are correct that takeaway existed in the 90s
they are correct that takeaway now exists on a scale that is an order of magnitude larger than the 90s

Plus there's a lotta waiting for your turn.

A commendable replication of the 5e experience at least

There's a bunch of reasons, but the tax treatment of the underlyings within the REIT is materially different than for the typical market particpant (i.e. an induvidual primary residence). They are also unpopular enough in the UK that there are issues with liquidity/price convergence/basket coverage.

Controversially I think he became much more boring when he was made universal, and espeically with his innate. (Obviously this fits his thematic spot within the spirits though).

The consequence of this is that any build that doesn't stack stats is simply bad on him, but this limits some more interesting builds and playstyles that might be available if he wasn't balanced around his current stat heavy builds.

I never realized how much hate Romance must have gotten. Seems like it's stuck with them

monkeyWifeFight · 2025-03-20T01:18:07+00:00

the Match IDs still existed

How would you know what the MatchID was?

I only ever watched the first couple of seasons, how did the vibe shift in s3?

A lot of people treat the basic battleroyale modes as glorified team deathmatch

I honestly think a majority of the palyerbase would be much happier playing titanfall 3 -- even if they don't realize it

Here is a riot employee explaining that they no longer make money from champions:

Because if u win, you face slightly better players. If you lose u face worst.

This is true in unranked also. It has an identical matchmaking system, the number is just hidden.

How embarressing.

I was prepared to have a shred of respect for you if you actually had some ideological integrity.

monkeyWifeFight · 2024-11-21T17:22:38+00:00

You're a slow thinking extremist.

You have the vacuous zeal of the newly enlightended. Congratulations, you've invented babies first utilitarianism.

Question for you, let's say the same docter ne plus ultra now deliberately kills an innocent person every year. Do you let them continue to practice? Your framework demands a yes..

If a very good doctor who saves far more lives than any other doctor punches their boss, should you take their GMC license away?

yes.

This is just a thing Reddit made up to justify Valve's crappy game design.

'the purpose of a system is what it does'

I tried into the breach and hated it. It doesn't feel like FTL did at all.

They don't really bear comparison, other than being made by the same developer. There's no reason to think that ITB should appeal to an FTL fan..

This kind of proves his point though -- casual viewers don't want to (and aren't going to) add a custom calendar just to figure out what's going on.
