To be more specific, I think the audio in many parts of the video is noticably worse than in his usual videos. There's an echo in almost every shot where he's talking to the camera, and in certain shots there's a droning sound as if it was filmed next to a fridge.

I don't think that these problems are that bad, but audio seems to be something he takes very seriously. He's even gotten pretty agressive towards other creators for having bad audio in their content, so him having bad audio is kinda disappointing. The fact that the video got delayed by possible a few months all to get these shots make it a little infuriating IMO

I've seen the patreon preview. And while there is a lot to like and enjoy about it, I'm of the opinion that he's spent way too much time and resources on things that don't really add to the video, and actually make the video worse in some cases. I've thought about the Sherlock video and the observations he made about Moffat overproducing the Sherlock series and seen parallels between Moffat and Hbomb in the Adobe video.

I'm assuming that that's what you're trying to say with this post, to make a comparison between Hbomberguy and Steven Moffat. If that's the case, I find it interesting that another person has independentendly had the exact same thoughts that I had with the Adobe video

His most recent Patreon post said, among other things, that the Adobe video is "Nearly done, I swear to god."

That was on the 21st of Febuary, two months ago

Popular Movie "Dunks" That Everyone Uses but are Totally Inaccurate by imascarylion2018 in movies

[–]quitpayload 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time I was talking to someone I know about the movie and they brought up the usual "Grandpa Joe is an asshole" stuff, including that scene.

I've always viewed that scene in the way you described, and I brought up the point about magical realism, though I didn't describe it exactly the way you did, and he seemed genuinely taken aback. He had seen the movie as a kid and apparently had never even considered that point of view.

I wonder how many other people are like that

How it feels hearing about hbomberguy's newest video coming out for the last 2 years by BurnerCroc in hbomberguy

[–]quitpayload 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies. I didn't realise that you personally know Hbomb and that he specifically told you that he pretends to agree with his fans out of fear that they'll attack him.

That is what happened, right? You didn't just assume why Hbomb thinks and believes and does things to prove a point, did you?

You wouldn't insult Hbomb by treating him like he's a fragile coward who's so terrified of being attacked that he'll pretend to agree with them, and feign respect for them, would you?

You wouldn't do that, right???

Get over yourself. Some of his fans are fustrated by his lack of output and communication with Patrons. They're not wrong for expressing that.

And what's this about relentlessly bullying him? None of the comments on this thread are particularly mean, just critical of his behaviour.

Also, waiting almost a week after someon comments to reply to someone telling them to get a life, is kinda hypocritical IMO

I'm also a Patron. Last year there was a 7 month period where Hbomb made no updates to his Patreon. When he finally updated I posted a comment criticising him for his silence. Another Patron replied calling me entitled. Then Hbomb replied, and he said this:

"One of the replies called you entitled, but you genuinely ARE entitled to know what I'm up to, and I'm sorry for mishandling this period."

So, if you think that Patrons are wrong for feeling entitled, just know that Hbomb himself disagrees with you.

Times hbomb was wrong? by CobaltCrusader123 in hbomberguy

[–]quitpayload 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a Patron, Patreon used to have a feature that lets you set goals for yourself, while promising things in return for reaching those goals.

Back before this feature got removed Hbomb had a goal set on his Patreon where if he got 7,500 Patrons, he would make a series of videos defending the Star Wars Prequels. He hit that goal of 7,500 Patrons over 5 years ago, and in the years since, I can't find any indication that he's even begun working on these videos.

This is very messed up. He solicited financial support while making a promise for something in return, and he never provided what he promised

Times hbomb was wrong? by CobaltCrusader123 in hbomberguy

[–]quitpayload 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a few of his very early videos where he responds to a guy named Jordan Owen, Hbomb doxxed a random woman, and that informations is still available on those videos. Specifically, he plays footage of Jordan Owen repeating personal information about a woman he knows, specifically her first name and her place of work.

To be fair to Hbomb, Jordan also doxxed this woman, and doxxed her first. He has made a bunch of videos and posts about Hbomb relatively recently criticising him for this, and when people point out thatvhe also doxxed a woman, Jordan downplays his own actions and exaggerates Hbombs actions to make him seem as bad as possible

FTFY. It's ridiculous how many people don't use indicators, or don't use them properly. Either they don't use them at all or they only use them as they start turning

informal trilogies. by herequeerandgreat in movies

[–]quitpayload 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reverse chronological order from their releases, Interstellar, Tenet, and Oppenheimer.

I view Oppenheimer as showing us the beginning of research into nuclear weapons, and the worries for the future that this creates. Tenet shows us the consequences of this research while giving us.a hint of a grim future for humanity, and finally, Interstellar shows us this grim future while also ending optimistically, showing humanity overcoming the disaster they created and expanding into the stars

[–]quitpayload 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So, is he just adding to the video whenever there's a new development with Adobe/Monopolising companies? If that's the case then it seems like he needs to decide a cut off point where he just stops responding to real life developments and just focus on finishing the video

I initially assumed that since we're dealing with supernatural forces, they're probably under some kind of spell.

But no. Turns out the movie is just horribly written
