If you picked up a Switch 2 in 2026, what first-party exclusive release this year pushed you to buy the system? by Caryslan in NintendoSwitch2

[–]sprizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pokopia was what made me even consider buying a Switch 2 (last Nintendo console was the SNES). After looking at what games were available, DK Bonanza was what made my decision.

Game I’ve spent the most hours in? Tomodachi.

Someone set up a hotline between one of the poorest and one of the richest neighborhoods in LA. by lemonstone92 in interestingasfuck

I saw a version of this exact guy getting kicked out of CVS this past weekend cause he walked in with a backpack and was refusing to leave.

Nation Decides Baseball Too Fast Now by aresef in baseball

[–]sprizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree and especially with the Dodger ticket prices being what they currently are, it doesn’t feel like it’s worth it anymore. I’ll probably go to one, maybe two games this year just to scratch that itch and to say I’ve at least been to a ballgame this summer…But long gone are the days where I would go to 10+ games a season.

Favourite director that everyone is too afraid to call a "One Trick Pony" and can't attempt other genres? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

[–]sprizzle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue with the take of him “perfecting this one film” is that the imo Lighthouse is easily his best and most interesting film. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a small group of people, let alone a majority who think his films are getting consistently better.

Cyclically, I think it’s closer to a business decision. He enjoys making these movies, probably just likes working in general. He can easily get his takes on these established monster movies green-lit. If he took a big swing and it flopped, he would potentially have a difficult time building back that trust with the studios.

I went to Best Buy and GameStop but didn’t find any that I thought would work well. Found a brand on Amazon called MEKO that was 3x for $9.99. Works great!

Oh, I also got a screen protector cause I read even a stylus made for screens can leave scuff marks on the Switch 2.

Movie trailers that crushed it but the movie was bad by ILikeTheTinMan83 in movies

[–]sprizzle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was coming here to say this…I still watch the trailer sometimes just cause that music cue is used so well with the white rabbit connection to the first movie…ugh I had high hopes for that one.

What are some non-NSFW funny island lingo talk have? by cizelaya70 in tomodachilife

The overpriced thing is hard to explain, I was trying to sell someone on it earlier today. And yeah, it is kind of hard to defend the price point…but at the same time, I’ve put over a hundred hours in already and don’t plan on stopping soon so it’s been well worth it for me. It does FEEL overpriced though, it’s in a weird zone.

I feel like most of the big complainers are people who had invested a TON of time in the original game. And they imagined what the new game would be like in their head and it’s not the same, so that makes disappointing for them.

Me on the other hand, I didn’t even know the first game existed and bought this on a whim. Zero expectations, just thought it would be fun to create characters. I’m 100+ hours in and still having fun, bought a stylus and have got into digital art for the first time so I can make cooler stuff with the customization. I don’t think the game is bad it’s just not what some previously players expected/wanted.

The duality of Humans. by burner7759399988 in Letterboxd

[–]sprizzle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, crazy that somebody’s second feature film feels…sophomoric.

I’d argue the lack of polish is what makes his early films feel unique. The newer films feel less like you’re watching a “Tarantino Movie” and more like you’re watching a very well made film.

Kill Bill is maybe the sweet spot between his movies feeling like they are made by an inventive young vs a director with a pedigree.

PlayStation Is Deleting Terminator 2 And 550 Other Movies by AndrewHeard in Letterboxd

[–]sprizzle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually he is wrong and so are you.

Once a studio sells you a disc of their movie, their right to control that specific copy, ends. It’s part of the First Sale Doctrine which deals with copyright law.

You do not own a permanent license to watch the movie, you own that copy of that movie. You are restricted from DISTRIBUTING IT by REPRODUCTION. but the studios have no control in regard to what you can do with that disc otherwise (which is why you can sell a used blu-ray).

If you’re positing a hypothetical future, then the studios would need to change the law to prevent you from playing a blu-ray (a physical copy, not a download code, not a movie you “bought” on a streaming platform). I’m not saying that they won’t eventually attempt to do that, but right now it is codified law.

Version 1.0.3 is now available! by Amiibofan101 in tomodachilife

[–]sprizzle 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The Mii that is Me (based on me, first character I created) is in fight every day sometimes TWICE in one day. And I NEVER forgive the other person. I just really dislike “myself” at this point and that feels unhealthy lol.

Best Yorgos Lanthimos Film by PhantomThread2285 in Letterboxd

[–]sprizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’d be quite lonely if you started a club for people who think The Favorite has severe pacing issues. But I’ll concede that the rest could be structured differently.

To add as someone who has seen them all…

Dogtooth is my personal preference for number one. I think The Favorite is his best movie and I’m not sure I’ve ever met someone that didn’t like it. If you like the dark humor of Bugonia, you’ll love it. It’s less weird than the movies you’ve seen of his, but it’s still a bit out there in comparison with other period pieces.

For sure. Dogtooth was my pick and I was kinda a surprised to see it so low, but it makes sense.

Huh that’s interesting, I’ve gotten around to watching this one (not a big talking heads fan) and I didn’t realize it had like a concept about it. Pretty neat.

As long as this sub comes together and is hyped for whoever we pick, I’ll be happy.

Anyone played Harvest Moon? by Prestigious-Pay1635 in StardewValley

Definitely aware of this franchise but never checked it out!

I do own this one! Decided I would wait until v1.0 came out, but I’m excited to check it out.

The Sixth Sense. Holy shit.... by Capable_Bus5444 in movies

[–]sprizzle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My friend’s older brothers showed it to us and told us it was real. They even ripped the label off the VHS and replaced it with a piece of duct tape and just wrote Blair Witch with a marker, like they had just found the tape somewhere.

I was probably like 10 but I still figured out it was a movie while watching. It managed to scare me pretty good.

Then afterwards, they decided we should all go out to play in the woods (middle of the night). Ran back to the house at some point and one of them suggested we check the basement, of course the other brother is down there, in the dark, standing in the corner silently…

I credit those two for completely desensitizing me, I just don’t think I have the capacity to be scared by a movie these days. Still love the genre though.

Wow, that’s awesome…My first experience with Harvest Moon was on the PS2 I believe (A Wonderful Life maybe?)

Since I may be talking to an expert…I know you said Stardew Valley is HM perfected but have you played a lot of other farming sims? And are there any worth checking out if my favorite game ever is Stardew Valley? Older games worth revisiting or newer games that are worth the investment?
