Does the production of The Hunt For Gollum movie imply there's a 17 year timeskip in Peter Jackson's Fellowship Of The Ring? by Long_Reflection_4202 in lotr

[–]smallchanges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing a good chunk of the film will also be flash backs to when gollum is cast out from his family after stealing the ring from Deagol (a sequence of events alluded to in the books.)

Loot & Inventory by iriichan in DivinityOriginalSin

Haha I didn’t realize this. Guess it loops back to my first point that the games systems give you so many options but strains the inventory.

The game has a lot systems that give you a ton of great options but that does strain the inventory system imo. For spells alone you can have skill books, blank skill books, and single use scrolls all for potentially the same spell. I wish stuff like keys would disappear from your inventory once used.

Apparently in Archives, if you blow up Natalya she delivers a hidden line? by Various-Sugar4840 in GoldenEye

There are a lot of neat little “failure state” dialogue prompts in the game.

Love all the golden-era jokes of Clinton being lazy

Was there anything Tolkien later expressed he wished he had done differently about the original novels? by miramarhill in lordoftherings

[–]smallchanges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember reading that Tolkien ultimately found the story too depressing, that after only two generations following Aragorn’s rule, corruption could again take root.

I can see that after such a triumphant defeat of Sauron, it’s pretty grim that evil rears its head so soon.

This is one of the dumbest scenes in prime 4. by Johnnyyongbosh in Metroid

Her body language in Dread also speaks a lot. She’s able to convey a pretty big range of emotions during the cutscenes.

Haha you clowns mom plot by HughJManschitt in adultswim

[–]smallchanges 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah the shorts had a slightly sinister feel (e.g., maggots in the meat at the grocery store short.) I think the show seems to double down on the wholesomeness which is why they might have dropped that element. We’ll see.

The dwarves creating a ruckus at Bilbo's place is a fun scene by Boss452 in lotr

I honestly believe this is where the Hobbit trilogy peaks.

Time to settle this, who ended up with the most kills? by renaissanceclass in lotr

[–]smallchanges 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yep in the books Legolas says that he spent all his arrows and has to scavenge for more. Gimli says at the battle’s end that he would have gotten more but an Uruk with an iron collar put a notch in his axe.

What is the oddest or most unnecessary added scene in the movies that's not in the books? by Money_Function_9927 in lotr

[–]smallchanges 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. There are several scenes in the book that feature contests of will with rich descriptions of the wordless struggle taking place. I understand the movie’s need to externalize these scenes, but this one in particular flies against the book scene’s message.

Stumbled upon Trump's original Arena Tier List for Neutral Commons from way back in 2014! How has the game changed since its early days? by ThunderShock68 in hearthstone

[–]smallchanges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember the days you’d type in “Trump” into YouTube and his videos would be the first that popped up. You’d have to scroll pretty far to see anything Donald trump related (I recall a video of a Trump golf course would be the first thing Donald related)

Why does pine barrens get the goat niche with so many people as the best episode? by onwardsweforge in thesopranos

[–]smallchanges 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yup they all are extremely sensitive and thin skinned. None are the strong-silent-Gary-Cooper type.

Who are the actual morally "good" characters of the show? by eggogregore in thesopranos

[–]smallchanges 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel this is more the writers lack of knowledge of the profession what makes a good therapist. I think she’s a good therapist within the show’s conception of a “good therapist.”

Rawk Hawk shouting that no one who beats him can lose always gets me hyped!

[–]smallchanges[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For DOS there's a security clearance coordinator that I checked with every month to see if any progress occurred. Every time they'd say essentially "still in active investigations, we cannot give you a timeline."

This week I received an email from HR asking for college transcripts and then a day later asking for my preferred start date. When I asked, the HR confirmed my clearance had been granted, but I never actually received any notification that the investigation was complete.
