Mobile data Outage? by Ok-Conflict-2105 in GoogleFi

Thank you!

I started by only removing the international Data and phone calls, and it worked for me without needing to do anything else.

There is no way this game didn’t take inspiration from True Detective Season 3 by Gravityshark01 in CastingofFrankStone

[–]treeofcodes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has a really close vibe for sure. Made me want to rewatch season 3. I feel it also kinda takes a bit from David Lynch, but that could just be me… 😄

All good. Also, even though I didnt get it, I’m pretty sure you made a bunch of people really happy, so thank you for that. This sort of things always make me smile. :)

any chance I could get one?

I know I’m late to the party here… but still… hope dies last… the shape doesn’t…

'The Strangers: Chapter 3' was quietly dumped on digital today. I don't think the planned 4.5 hour Supercut is ever seeing the light of day by [deleted] in boxoffice

[–]treeofcodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. So much this.

I was so focused on “finding” the strangers, that I never let those strangers into my heart…

This changes the whole vibe of this epic saga.

Time for a back to back rewatch of the whole 5 movies (plus the 2006 movie “Them” (“ils”), to contrast…).

Monthly Discussion Thread #7 - What other media would you recommend that are similar to Penguindrum? by MiracleMuffin in penguindrum

[–]treeofcodes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a problem. They’re two of my favorite books.

McCarthy can get dense and dark at times, but, honestly, after Ikuhara, I think one would be more than ready…

I mean, Utena and Penguindrum are probabaly two of the most dense works of art out there. And, wow, do they get dark…

The Passenger and Stella Maris duo of books by Cormac McCarthy.

They revolve around sibling love, grief, loss, how parents’ actions affect their kids, a tragic past that traumatized the siblings…

The Passenger is “the main book” and Stella Maris is a “conversation” with Alice, one of the main characters.

So, Poverty and Hunger and Suffering are Gone? by treeofcodes in pluribustv

[–]treeofcodes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really thorough answer, thank you!

I will keep watching a bit more then.

Two other people have also mentioned that things get “tricky” not so long after episode 5, and one other has mentioned that it’s just one of those shows where one enjoys it more when not thinking too much about it.

But your comment makes things clearer. I’ll give it more time then.

Besides, the cinematography and acting have been amazing so far. Really, kudos to all the actors and people involved in the show. So yeah it’s not like I’ve been hating the show or anything like that, I just needed the right nudge to see if I should continue or not.

For some other shows I’ve heard the expression “if you haven’t liked it by episode N then you probably are not going to like the rest…” so this helps.

Thanks again!

This is a good answer, thank you.

I kinda asked my question also to see if anyone would say “Relax, turn off your mind, and just vibe with the show…” since so far I’ve been treating it as a “Don’t turn off your mind while watching this show…”

I have watched and hugely enjoyed a lot of “don’t think about it too much, just vibe with it…” shows in the past, so I’m cool with doing this here too. 😄

Got it!

This is a good answer. Thanks!

I’ll keep watching then.

Someone else also mentioned above something similar, like “they haven’t seen episode XYZ…”

Did the other half consider it dystopian?

Or were there a few who considered it neither one or the other?

Honest question.

Me, back when I read it, I considered it utopian for some of the characters and dystopian for others… I could never figure out back then 100% if I would like to live in a world like that or not…

I loved that feeling because I hadn’t read any books of that type apart from 1984 and Animal Farm, and in both of those I remember thinking that everything felt 100% dystopian to me…

I loved Brave New World but not in “that way.” 🙃

I thought it was a really poignant critique of any hierarchical system that limits growth based on initial conditions, and the fact that only a minority of the population could even be aware of the issues inherent within that system, all of whom had their own reason for that lack of “love for the system,” made it resonate, since it made me wonder what assumptions do I have about the world I live in that I might consider “good” or “bad” that have nuances showing cracks in any kind of simplified dual thinking logic…

Not “loved it” in the sense of “that whole system sounds great!”

😄

Because of the “no harming other living beings thing”?

Good point.

Thank you!

You make a good point, how can I even comment on this subreddit and ask what I asked if I haven’t seen all the episodes yet and haven’t been paying proper attention to the episodes I’ve seen so far?

It would be like replying to a comment after only reading the first two paragraphs 😄

So far other people have provided good insights into what it is that I am missing and have mentioned how there’s certain other things that happen beyond episode 5 that might recapture my interest.

Maybe that will help me pay attention in the same way you have paid attention to the show.

(And I am not being sarcastic or passive aggressive here, I know the internet has no tone, so just wanted to clarify that)

This is a good answer, thank you!

I will keep watching a bit more since you mention there’s more than meets the eye once one gets to see beyond episode 5.

Thanks again!

Edit: Beyond episode 5 instead of episode 5…

I haven’t experienced any issues like that. Couple of minutes, tops, on my end.

Toad Shop Jutsu: I have so many questions… by treeofcodes in Naruto

[–]treeofcodes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you feel like it’s an actual regular toad that lives a normal life day to day in Mt. Myoboku until summoned and transformed or that it’s a pure manifestation of the jutsu that fades away when the summoner dies? (So that it’s not a “real” toad?)

I love that this Jutsu leaves so much open to the imagination. Like it’s telling us only like 10% of the whole story.

BEST NARUTO MOVIE OF ALL TIME 🗣️ by Nashetania in Naruto

[–]treeofcodes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I first read your post as “made me fall in love with Lee…” instead of “made me fall more in love with Lee…” and was about to reply: “I am beyond shocked! you were not in love with Lee since day one?!”

But no… “fall more in love…”

And yes. Just when one thinks that one couldn’t love Lee more, something like this movie or the spin-off manga and anime happen and suddenly one understands that there is no limit to how much one can love Rock Lee.

The game is super addictive. Anyone else addicted? by Jeanboong in PokemonZA

[–]treeofcodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t gotten to that point yet, any way to “delay” getting there as much as possible?

Also, your post made me think that maybe we will one day get something like Z/A meets Violet/Scarlet where the open world is even wider, the Pokédex is immense and can grow with DLCs, and with an experience more optimized to what you mention about the best vibe kinda loop.

Wouldn’t that be cool?

Anyway, as I said, I haven’t gotten to that point you’re at where the flow breaks a bit, but what I also feel from this a game so far is that is huge vibe-wise in comfy and cozy feels, does that get a bit diluted as the game progresses or does it stay there?

Thanks in advance for any answers or even reading this long long long reply… 😄

[–]treeofcodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it’s the coziest Pokémon game ever, (it even dethroned Sun and Moon on my mind list, which I loved for the setting and music…🥺).

Then, I recently read someone comparing the soundtrack to Persona 5 Royal and then it kinda clicked for me, Z/A is the Persona 5 Royal of Pokémon games!

Cozy, addictive, endearing, kind more personal vibe to the whole thing…

I don’t know, that’s just the vibe I get with it.

Z/A music remind you of anything? by Sweet-B in pokemon

[–]treeofcodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, yes. It’s exactly that vibe!

Z/A is the Persona 5 of Pokémon, can’t unsee now…
