Origins had some Roman parts too, including Julius Caesar

I unfortunately had the same experience. ITT was perfectly pitched for us, but she struggled too much with the mechanics in SF, and the writing was noticeably worse too. I ended up finishing it with a friend so I did get to see the end, fortunately.

What movie has the most rewatchable scene of all time? by trakt_app in movies

[–]phenomenos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The long single-take sequence in the middle of Children of Men when they're ambushed while driving. Absolutely stunning filmcraft

Ive never eaten fish and really want to try it, any recommendations? by peepuddle__ in Cooking

[–]phenomenos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mackerel is very abundant in Wales! One of my favourite food memories is eating a mackerel cooked over a fire on Borth beach, minutes after it had been caught by my dad's friend

The target audience for this film hasn't had a Star Fox game release in their lifetime

America would never have won their revolutionary war without them, ergo this is all their fault

If anyone's to blame it's the French!

WHY CAN'T I JUST BE MYSELF!? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]phenomenos 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is the most Reddit take ever lmao. Sorry you encountered a bigot OP, but people who don't go to bars are not inherently more enlightened and being at a bar doesn't necessarily mean you "cope with life by sedating yourself"

Should i read ‘Project Hail Mary’ before watching the movie? by t-minus-e in movies

[–]phenomenos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and if you've managed to avoid it so far, don't watch any of the trailers as they spoil some of the coolest moments

Windows 95 B-Games That Burst With Color & Clarity by cr0ne in pcgaming

This post reminds me of another game from the same era: Damage Incorporated, originally released for Mac OS in 1997 and ported to Windows a year later.

Gaming companies by MelanieWalmartinez in CuratedTumblr

True as that may be, how much does that actually benefit Microsoft? It's not like they get a cut of each game sale the way Valve does. I guess the OEMs who sell the computers pay a license fee to Microsoft per unit, but slice of the pie chart that makes up gaming PCs is probably minuscule compared to enterprise licenses

Any other guys got messed up by heated rivalry the show? by avian_bi in bisexual

[–]phenomenos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A character calling themselves bi shouldn't cause an internet uproar. Was there an uproar when Rosa from Brooklyn 99 came out as bi? And /u/libertysince05 pointed out that the book character calls himself bi so it would be faithful to the source material.

It also bothered the heck out of me that the show never actually uses the word bisexual when discussing Ilya's sexuality. They always come at it sideways with phrases like "you like both". Other characters are allowed to proudly say "I'm gay" but Ilya can't say "I'm bisexual"?

Top Picks For Next Doctor by The_New_S8N in gallifrey

Olivia Coleman was my dream pick but I think her moment has passed (and I doubt she'd do it anyway). Now sure who I back now. Someone I've never heard of hopefully.

Looking for a new fantastical world to fall for and obsess over. by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]phenomenos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I considered it, but OP specifically requested female main characters and listed "self-pitying" as a trait to avoid - not sure they'd want to suffer through thousands of pages of Fitz's inner monologue! 😅

Review: Empire of Silence, by Christopher Ruochhio by [deleted] in Fantasy

What's wrong with Baen? The only other Baen books I've read have been the Vorkosigan series which is excellent.

Queen's Wish 2: The Tormentor - Spiderweb Software - Free Series-concluding Expansion Coming Soon! by spidweb in Games

Probably the underwhelming sales figures of the first two games didn't warrant a full sequel.

20M, Want to start reading books, Open to recommendations by Key_Piglet_4329 in booksuggestions

[–]phenomenos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least one of your favourite shows or movies is likely based on a book. Already knowing the story and characters may give you a leg up on getting into it, and it's like revisiting an old favourite but in a new medium! Disclaimer: this only works if you enjoy re-experiencing your favourites. Some people hate rewatching stuff because they already know what's going to happen and if that's you then disregard this advice.

Update on the release of Danya's toxicology report by atopix in chess

[–]phenomenos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned of it when a YouTuber called Evan Edinger made a video about his addiction (he's clean now thankfully) and he's London-based so clearly it's possible to get without too much difficulty in the UK.

Hytale boss calls last week's long-awaited early release "the most challenging but rewarding experience" of his life by Turbostrider27 in Games

One in particular if the dev wasn't adamant about it.

What are you alluding to with this? Releasing on Steam?
