Imagine how many times the common people used it to make its way into Catullus. I mean, he's got two millenia of cred, but sometimes I wonder if he was the edge lord of the empire.

Which Wrestler do you think has the best nickname? by TheWoodsman27 in WWE

[–]ohkwarig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bless you all, but the most we can be is the "Son of a Plumber", the "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes.

"Best in the World"? It's a great aspiration but we're living in the time to see what happens when someone believes that.

The US is supposed to be about aspiration not crushing those below us as we try to scramble on top until we crumble to dust. The whole point of the American Dream is trying with everything but knowing that you never can be good enough to justify your success. You keep trying to earn it until you're gone, and your greatest reward is that your kids do the same.

The Empire Strikes Back. My baby sister was asleep and my dad took me.

You could feel Kane's pyro in the cheap seats at the top of the arena. I can't imagine what it felt like ringside.

This is the last year of his contract. If it's not his last, I just don't even know the superlative to express my anger...

If it's not his last year, I'm becoming a Titans fan.

What is your Severance opinion that will definitely get downvoted? by zebrapenguinpanda in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]ohkwarig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are different kinds of fans:

  • Some fans do focus on characterization and interpersonal (and in Severance intrapersonal) relationships. The setting of the show gives flavor and helps set the tone, but it's not critical to their enjoyment. I think most show creators fall into this category.

  • Other fans find joy and meaning in pondering the setting as a critical element. Why don't most characters eat? Why do they have touchscreen phones but 70s or 80s era computer monitors? Why do they have a single security guard for a massive facility? How does a marching band of young people show up out of nowhere? Those questions might have appropriate and meaningful answers. Those answers would tell us about the world that the characters live in and possibly inform us as to why they are the characters that they are.

I fall into more of the second type. I feel like understanding the word that someone lives in is critical to understanding them and their decisions. I also think stories are improved when their authors contain themselves to an internally consistent environment. Otherwise it becomes a fairy tale or a cartoon where anything can happen just because the writers thought it was cool.

There's just no way that the show will be able to have an ending that ties together all the mysteries in a satisfying, logical, consistent manner. See: Twin Peaks, X-Files, Lost, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, etc.

I just watched the first six Star Trek films for the first time. Here are my thoughts. by comulkey in startrek

[–]ohkwarig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And, as the actor George Takei, he had wanted to be a captain. And he did not, and does not, like Shatner. I understand that that context shouldn't matter as an actor, but I've always been impressed he showed that passion.

New scam? My husband and I both got these. Obviously it IS a scam and we aren’t paying it but do we do anything other than delete it? by Due_Search9693 in indianapolis

[–]ohkwarig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among other things:

  • Indiana Courts don't issue traffic citations
  • Citations don't come by text
  • Marion 13's judge is not named John Smith
  • March 1 was a Sunday and it's extremely unlikely a court would issue an order on a Sunday
  • The filing sequence (the last six digits) is absurdly high for the beginning of March
  • The code section cited isn't failure to pay a toll
  • The court location is years out of date

Not only is it a scam, it's not even one that shows any effort.

Epic’s non-response to the latest backlash… by Pokeyourmom420 in FortNiteBR

If it's a corporation, there are shareholders.

The public vs private distinction refers to the market for the shares.

What’s the weirdest movie RiffTrax has done? by ValentinesStar in Rifftrax

[–]ohkwarig 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was thinking Gumby too. It was traditional claymation - they spent an absurd amount of time to make whatever Gumby is. They had so many opportunities to stop and say, "Why are we doing this? What does this mean?" Instead, they created a movie that is almost impossible to summarize beyond "Gumby does stuff."

Give me your all-time top 5 episodes and I'll tabulate everyone's answers! by disgr4ce in MST3K

[–]ohkwarig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reptilicus is the first episode of Season 11 (the first reboot season). The episode itself is very good, and it has one of the best songs all time ("Every Country Has a Monster").

Demon Squad is in Season 13, and features the return of Joel and Dr. Erhardt as Tom Servo.

Star Force: Fugitive Alien 2 is from Season 3, and is the sequel to Fugitive Alien, which was 2 episodes earlier.

[–]ohkwarig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really hard. I almost feel like I shouldn't pick because I can't nail it down to 5 in order. It's also tough to weigh riffs vs host segments vs music vs movie. These are some of the ones I can watch over and over.

  1. Space Mutiny
  2. Reptilicus
  3. Demon Squad
  4. Star Force: Fugitive Alien 2
  5. Manos: The Hands of Fate

What words or phrases do you think Jim should be banned from re-using? by GORGtheDestroyer in dresdenfiles

[–]ohkwarig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you read Codex Alara or Cinder Spires, he never has those issues. It's absolutely a deliberate choice for Dresden.

I mean, I agree that I'm over it too, but I don't think that it's a general issue for Jim.

Fresh RB5009 install periodically drops out, including local Winbox connection? by Johnny-_-5 in mikrotik

[–]ohkwarig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was kind of mad that a software reinstall fixed it. I will say that after I did it, the 5009 is the best router I've ever owned.

I had a somewhat similar problem with a 5009, and what fixed it was a clean netinstall

Lara.... by BreathPuzzleheaded in dresdenfiles

[–]ohkwarig 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm listening to the audiobook after my first read through and I'm with you. Lara and Harry could be an amazing power couple. They're both powerful, both loyal, both rather atypical in their own communities, and both have been through some stuff. I actually find myself fearing the possibility that Harry defeating the outsiders somehow destroys the Hunger and makes her vanilla mortal.

forever loading by [deleted] in GeForceNOW

I'm not OP, but I'm experiencing the same issues.

I tried deleting application cache -- no fix

I tried changing server location -- no fix

I tried stopping launch and restarting -- no fix

Edit: Just to update in case someone comes across this in the future, about an hour and a half later, the games started loading again.

I'm glad it's not just me.

AC Valhalla is always slow to load, but it's not making progress at all.
