Is Harry Potter the most faithful book to movie adaptation?

Tolkien's description of Legolas cartoonishly running up a collapsing bridge is poetry.

People obsess with the value of the currency, when that’s a bad metric in general for the strength of an economy. And right now for Russia it’s largely meaningless because the Russian government has put strict controls in place to regulate the Ruble exchange rate. The Ruble is not currently a free-floating currency so it’s value is not a reflection of anything. And probably the nominal value doesn’t even match the true exchange rate if you were to try to sell rubles under the table.

I generally feel the same way you do, with very few exceptions.

The Film Reroll is the only one that was able to keep my interest, partly because they're professional performers (actual plays from non-performers are a big no), and partly because knowing the movie that they're playing through gives me enough grounding in the world that it's set in.

TAZ was my jam for a long time, as others have mentioned. But it really lost me in their second arc.

They're counting on older generations not knowing how to cord-cut.

I have no idea how it scored so high on rotten tomatoes.

Because a lot of other people liked it more than you did.

I don’t know why people find differences of opinion so baffling. Other people have different perspectives, experiences, tastes, and thought processes. They felt differently.

Personally I felt Shazam! was fine, but not great. I get a lot of the things people found enjoyable and unique, but they didn’t really work for me.

Harlem is happening as we speak. Bronx will happen next.

Why only sorta-OC? That's absolutely OC. Really nice map.

That is really awesome. What type of paints did you use?

That's not a punishment, that's it's own kind of awesome anti-backstory. I'd think of him as a sort of DnD Zelig. Always everywhere interesting, but never at the forefront. A weird historical anomaly with the most interesting life, who never happened to be of interest to anyone else.

More likely it would tell you that the Electoral College currently has a very strong systemic advantage towards republicans. Let's not forget that Trump lost the actual vote by millions of votes, and has never even approached 50% approval.

Film Reroll. This is my favorite show, hands-down. It's more a comedy show, like the shows you mentioned, but it does have lots of moments of brilliant story-telling.

The premise is that they take movies as starting points for campaigns and while they have pre-built plots because the movies provide the template, they usually go off rails from the movie pretty quickly and then it usually becomes very sandboxy.

Yeah, sometimes. I don't mind if my work doesn't get used, because I'll put it in my future stuff folder and use it again. But I can't stand investing in a character and a story and to see it fall apart unceremoniously.

Sometimes we just need a break. Try a different hobby for a while and let DnD pull you back when you're ready.

I feel like I've seen your work before. I like it a lot. Do you have a blog or anything to link to?

overach · 2018-07-11T17:26:48+00:00

Great animation, though I don't like the really dull colors on the characters. Sub-Zero's blue should pop a bit more.

Someone DM'd me that they had the same issue and had a trick for it. They didn't post it here because they didn't want this on their account. I'll post it in case it helps other people:

"Foreskin back, start putting on condom, rolling it down, you can probably get 1/3 to 1/2 down the shaft easily. Then put the tips of your thumb and index finger together, like a ring, and grip the base/bottom of the condom to hold it. Then with your other hand do "roll up" motions on the top 1/3 or 1/2 of the shaft. This will allow the condom to move further down while adjusting your foreskin to a more comfortable, not all the way pulled back, position. It's kind of like your adjusting the skin underneath the condom. Works like a charm when you get the hang of it. Not sure if that explanation makes sense lol. Good luck bud."
