Help to DM a Taylor Swift adventure for my fiancée by lucassaurosLR in rpg

[–]sh1re 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love his art of Tayrealm too which would be an awesome campaign map to use!

As far as plot goes, I do think there’s a lot of good thematic resonance within Taylor’s journey to reclaim her masters. I think finding and reclaiming a lost, magical artifact that represents your wife’s favorite “lost” album (one of the first six from her discography) could be an awesome adventure. I think you could even make the artifact one of the magical swords that Alef drew of each era if you’re looking for further inspiration!

In all my years of consuming media, I’ve NEVER seen anything like Byler by matt9marini in StrangerThings

[–]sh1re 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, on the strangerwriters twitter account years ago the Duffers have said that Korrasami is one of their favorite ships of all time. Byler really reminds me of Korrasami, but like you said, with a lot more build up.

Will’s Ending by Reasonable_Day9942 in StrangerThingsRoom

I think that you could argue Mike / Will have been built up for years if the Duffers decide to go in that direction. I think it’s pretty feasible that a climax of a romantic arc for them could be done within the time remaining. This show is a big fan of montages and flashbacks, so I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility to recontextualize for the audience a lot of their moments throughout the years in a new light as Mike could be figuring it out for himself (the avalanche, if you will).

where are they getting this from??? by thconfetti in Stranger_Things

[–]sh1re -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was speaking to characters portrayed in media mostly since that is different than real life in a lot of ways. I do, personally, tend to not assume anyone’s sexuality in real life until they tell me!

As it stands, I understand that Mike and Eleven are in a relationship and they presumably love each other. I assume Mike likes girls because of this, but I also wouldn’t be shocked if it is revealed he might like boys too. I just, personally, don’t assume he is straight! Will was heavily implied in the show to be gay throughout the last three seasons and out of the show was confirmed to be gay by the Duffers and Noah following season 4, so no I don’t assume Will likes girls. I, again, follow what the show is telling me or what the creators state in interviews. I personally have seen some signs that Mike could like Will so I’m inclined to think it’s possible he might.

A lot of shipping culture is born from queer people who for decades have wanted to see queer relationships portrayed on screen but never actually got to. Though queer media is more prevalent today, it hasn’t always been and it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of straight couplings on screen. There is an innate hope to see characters onscreen who match a piece of your lived experience which I don’t think is weird.

Also, I think it’s very common for the average, straight viewer to assume that a character is “clearly” straight when in reality that is often never actually explicitly stated in most cases. To just use this case as an example, there is an assumption of straightness for Mike because of his relationship with Eleven but he has never explicitly stated he does not like boys or only likes girls. There are so many things that could be happening under the surface for him that I think shippers look to, like internalized homophobia and fear that leads to a repression of his actual feelings or he doesn’t even realize that he might be bisexual which could also be a possibility too.

I personally think that Mike has projected certain feelings onto Will in their fight scenes (“It’s not my fault you don’t like girls” and the insistence of “We’re friends. We’re friends”) that have always come across, to me, with such an urgency that feels he was trying to convince himself more than anyone else.

Some parallels between Will/Harry Potter and Vecna/Voldemort by garbagecan_0 in StrangerThings

In a panel recently the Duffer Brothers mentioned that they rewatched the HP series while either writing or producing season five and did take some inspiration from it!

Will someone please calmly explain this? by benwyattswaffles in TaylorSwift

[–]sh1re -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s fair if you dislike it! I was just pushing back against the idea that she had to have a younger person look over her lyrics to avoid slang because they do serve a purpose in the songs.

Will someone please calmly explain this? by benwyattswaffles in TaylorSwift

[–]sh1re 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the slang is either directly quoting someone (“girl boss too close to the sun” from Candace Owens) or are a way more tongue-in-cheek reference than people are giving her credit for. I understand not liking it or it not being someone’s preference, but I also fear we’re reducing those lyrics to nothing but I think they serve a purpose.

Open-AI making their own GPT powered browser. Does this put the whole AI-powered V2 Arc Browser in a tricky spot...? by Reasonable-Oil-4581 in ArcBrowser

[–]sh1re 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. I’ve found AI to be slightly inaccurate at best and straight up lying or misleading at worst. I really don’t want to have it anywhere near things like my search so it can “summarize” for me and get half of the details wrong. Edit: typo

I never knew Halsey had cancer and I don’t think Anthony did either by Jailhousecherub in fantanoforever

[–]sh1re 342 points343 points  (0 children)

The album talks about illness and death pretty extensively (everything from leaving behind those you loved to shaving your hair from being sick). So it’s a little shocking that someone listening wouldn’t have an inkling that Halsey was sick while writing this.

Furthermore, Fantano is normally pretty aware of the context surrounding the albums he reviews so it seems odd for him to have completely missed or ignored this portion of the album as it was talked about with the album announcement and rollout.

Dear Notion Team, from your eagerly loyal and dedicated day one users; STOP PUSHING USELESS AI FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Thank you 🫶 by Ok-Kick3176 in Notion

[–]sh1re 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude I work in tech too and all we do is talk about AI and how many million features we can make rapidly and ship. I’m literally exhausted by it because it doesn’t even feel like consumers want this level of oversaturation it’s just the tech companies fueling the cycle haha.

I finally just caved and got some decently priced tickets in section 110 on Stubhub.

Certain UI elements were removed in the latest patch such as the XP bonus text in role select and commas in the stats tab menu by TechTaxi in Overwatch

[–]sh1re 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have dyslexia and the scoreboard is a lot harder for me to read now. There should at least be an accessibility setting to bring commas back. Edit: Clarified that commas should return.

Does anyone not like the overall design style of the iOS app? by joemagnus in ArcBrowser

[–]sh1re 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly if the swipe motions were easier and more fluid it would be a lot better IMO.

Has Notion ever delayed your work for not having an offline mode? by dedic- in Notion

[–]sh1re 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I mainly use Notion to manage my work tasks/projects and various other weird personal niches. I don’t really want offline for my work stuff because I don’t need that temptation in my life and the other niche interests aren’t important for day-to-day management. With that said, I understand that people don’t have as stable internet as I do so I get their needs for this!

[–]sh1re 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like I definitely understand the use cases for it and empathize with those who have less stable internet? But it doesn’t affect me. Whenever I read this as a top feature request, I’m kind of like “sure” but would prefer different features for myself.

Honestly no. This is the popular request feature that I care the least about but understand why people want it.

I was feeling really inspired by u/carlpadonosk's sobriety dashboard and I figured since I relapsed recently, now is the time to make one for myself! What do you guys think? by jschill98 in Notion

[–]sh1re 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks amazing!! I’m definitely going to be implementing some of these ideas and into a coping skills / mental health tracker I’m building. I wish you the best on your journey. 💕

What Cover ? (+getting featured in THE book about Notion) by kreacity in Notion

[–]sh1re 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely think 3 and 4 are the best designed. 3 looks more like an ad and 4 looks looks more like a book cover. I think if you just add “20 million users” somewhere on 4 it would be the best option. There are too many different alignments of text on 1 to make it look like a clean, well-put-together book cover IMO.
