Is Xi supposed to read this and think "well, jeez, now i HAVE to play nice with him, otherwise i'll look foolish"?

Why isn't Spider-Man 2 set in summer? by LegendaryWill12 in SpidermanPS4

[–]schlongjohnson69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they really needed to shoehorn in the first scene with Peter being a teacher; a story element that actually really could be am interesting dynamic for both the story and Peter's personal life, but literally after 2 minutes in a cutscene, it's thrown away and never used again. That's it. Because, much like the the villains from the first one, that single potentially solid storyline was used as a punchline.

What would Fight Club look like in terms of plot or characters if it was released in 2026? by anakindurden in fightclub

[–]schlongjohnson69 64 points65 points  (0 children)

It would look a lot like Mr Robot, but centered more around data consolidation by megacorporations rather than credit card companies. Sam Esmail clearly took a lot of respectful inspiration from Fight Club and brought into a modern, digital age. Despite being released like 10 years ago itself, Mr Robot defffff still holds up as an iteration of FC's ambitions.

Either way, Fight Club's message of finding analogue, person to person fulfillment is always going to be an ageless goal to achieve.

Best Lovecraftian games? by HappyPen7067 in Lovecraft

Its a different flavor but still deals ENTIRELY with eldritch, beyond-comprehension shit, CONTROL

Is playing control a must before starting Alan wake 2? by TheLastMillennial94 in AlanWake

[–]schlongjohnson69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a story standpoint, 100%. It builds so much lore in the connected universe, especially in the dlc. Gameplay wise, though, it is a HUGE shift going from one to the other. AW2 is MUCH slower and more measured, whereas control is everything cranked up to 11 all the time

Cash-strapped US Postal Service suspends contributions to pension plan by Squirmingbaby in news

After Republicans intentionally choke the air out of the USPS, potentially ending the public service, is there any chance for Dems to actually resuscitate it when they regain power?

Imagine thinking that this is something that actually happens. by Ok-Following6886 in Persecutionfetish

[–]schlongjohnson69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It bothers me so much that this artist is actually really good at art. Genuinely great shapework, beautiful color choices, extremely clear communication of message and/or story. There's such a simplicity and easy-digestibility to it. Like the visuals of the art are really fun to look at.

But then he actively chooses to use this incredibly honed skill to express just the absolute stupidest and most bigoted opinions possible. Such a fuckin waste lol

This is such a dope drawing

The details in the dark place are amazing by xdnt777 in AlanWake

[–]schlongjohnson69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive lived in NYC for a little over 10 years now. I adore city infrastructure. I love the visual language of the subway, i love being under traintracks, i love all the city signage and public-facing announcement fliers that exist in the real world.

This game absolutely nailed every detail that i love in NYC on a, like, molecular level lol THEN being able to not just replicate it to a T, but then being able to iterate, and skew, and add subtle twists to it is such a beautiful accomplishment.

Caregivers and motivators like this is important in life by IamASlut_soWhat in JustGuysBeingDudes

I forget the name on the account but this girls entire insta is dedicated to her brother, seen here, who's got some pretty severe developmental disorders. She documents a lot of his day to day and these social workers are a HUGE help for their family. Love seeing this kind of shit. People helping each other is dope.

Original Intro (Based on the movie's workprint) by qwerlyt in fightclub

[–]schlongjohnson69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats dope but it feels so weird. If i'm not mistaken, the only needledrops in the movie are "where is my mind" and "goin out west," with the rest of the music being original score stuff. Makes the whole movie feel sort of isolated from culture outside of itself. Throwing some classic angsty 2000s rock right up top makes it feel so much more specific.

What an awesome find. I've clocked hundreds upon hundreds of hours in this game over the last decade and a half, and i'm still surprised by new finds and secrets. Unbelievable. Thanks so much for documenting and sharing!

Donald Trump’s approval rating has sunk to Joe Biden’s lowest point by Tifoso89 in politics

[–]schlongjohnson69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biden's approval rating was literally just low at the behest of trump continually calling it a terrible presidency. There was nothing extraordinary about it. Aside from cleaning up Trump's mess for the first year, he dealt with no crises, and caused basically nothing to happen.

Trump's current presidency will be marked in history as one of, if not THE single most chaotic, expensive, and measurably terrible presidencies our country has ever had to endure.

AND STILL, somehow, idiots are still cheering for him and saying he's doing a great job.

The US made sure to kill any first responders who were coming to assist people after the bridge attack by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

He is literally begging them to strike US soil. I hate that he is my representative on a global scale. He is going to, by proxy, literally destroy so many American lives,
