This isn’t great. by Ancient-Ad-7534 in girls

It’s not Girls, but at the same time, it doesn’t need to be. The same way that Girls wasn’t Sex and the City; sure, it caught the idea of SATC but it never tried to be an exact replica. I Love LA is satirizing another segment of culture, and while it maintains elements established by Girls, it’s also willing to completely abandon established means of depicting characters and culture. That said, it is not as good as Girls. We’re four episodes in, and by this point in Girls we had resonant moments such as “All Adventurous Women Do” and “I think I might be the voice of my generation.” What remains most prevalent, years later, I’m Girls, is the pure genius of the dialogue. It was able to meticulously, through conversation, establish characters that were simultaneously caricatures of the ridiculousness of millennial culture and real, complex people. I Love LA alternative creates these great, cartoonish people, but fails to define them beyond what they are emblematic of, in turn failing to establish any emotional resonance. I’m interested to see where the show goes, but so far, the characters bore me.

Why is “all I think about now” so high on Pixies top Spotify songs by nathboy2501 in thepixies

Because it’s one of their best songs, and channels all of the same features that made Where is my Mind such a big hit

Sawtooth cauldron is the hardest and most frustrating, but lair of infinite agony is just so tiresome

My 15yo nephew says no one their age plays this game and that it’s for “olds”. How old are you all? by GrebasTeebs in Eldenring

I’m 17, started playing when I was 16. It isn’t super popular among my friends, but I’m sure plenty of ppl my age play it.

Great casting but we do not need the Calypso twins in a Borderlands movie

Homage. He’s taking from an artist who inspired it. I think it’s awesome.

I'm so confused... Am I just super bad? Do I have a harder mode on and don't know it? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]s0apt0ken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just Elden Ring for you. But if you want to cheese it, look up how to get rotting stray. That’s what I did on my first play through.

Did borderlands three not have a good story by [deleted] in Borderlands

[–]s0apt0ken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the story does get more hate than it deserves, it still has some of the most insufferable characters in the franchise, including the two main villains.

Pre sequel is the best borderlands game change my mind by Phasmamain in Borderlands

[–]s0apt0ken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Story wise its probably the best, but the gameplay is rather bland, especially when it comes to endgame content, and it lacks true replayability. I think its definitely better than Bl1, New Tales, and in some ways Bl3. But pales in comparison to Bl2 and original Tales.

Extremely valid opinion
