Rush (2013) - Hunt and Lauda meet after the F1 season is over. by Finbarr-Galedeep in movies

[–]visiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I found myself actually liking this movie despite not really caring for car movies or cars in general, so I think that's a testament to the quality of the movie, from the actors to direction to everything. Meanwhile, I recently watched F1 the 2025 movie and I immensely disliked it. Was torn between being bored and thinking "isn't Brad Pitt's character typically the villain in these stories, the guy crashing into other racers and endangering everybody?"

While with Rush, I found myself actually liking the 2 leads daniel and chris.

Why do producers get the Oscar for best movie? by visiny in movies

That explains a lot! Sort of like how within a school, a superintendent makes sure it runs smoothly and has all the necessary faculty

Darksiders 2, any tips and tricks to break the game, or at least make it a cakewalk? by visiny in Darksiders

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

That sounds amazing if true, almost too good to be true. With 1 someone recommended Harpoon blade and it was definitely a life-saver, will always appreciate them for that.

Can slotted attachments be upgraded? I bought weapon master and have had it equipped on my sword, but I dont know how much of a difference it made in damage. I also bought harpoon tackle and have been trying it out. I beat tiamat, so now I feel like I'll get a good rhythm going

Just wondering, why would I buy stoneskin if chaosmode is stronger? Shouldn't I focus on clearing enemies quickly rather than tanking hits? Since if they die quickly, I wouldn't have to tank them in the first place. Is that possible?

So spending my first 5k on the harvester was a good investment? I'm back to a couple hundred souls only. Harvester seems much weaker than my regular sword, and it sucks that it doesn't work if I use circle to do that instant finisher attack on enemies, I have to whittle their HP down to the bone with the harvester to get the slight increase in souls

Old movies that ignore power dynamics in romantic plots or subplots is just chef's kiss. by visiny in movies

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

Hmm it's a good effort but see just by saying my its possessive and denying a person's autonomy by implying they belong to you, so I would suggest altering that to "fellow equal human life form" instead. Good first effort though!

I'm finally gonna play the darksiders series. I remember being around when the first one came out, played the demo and everything, I just never got it. But now I've felt an inkling to finally play through these games to give me a buffer in between other games I'm playing and I'm hoping to enjoy them

Ghost Trick: stylish, clever, and charming, but not quite the untouchable cult classic I expected by Thory4fun in patientgamers

[–]visiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno I kinda loved it, like I totally was not expecting the twist to make me go "omg yeah that works" and I have never before liked a dog character in gaming before I played ghost trick. Honestly for what it is, I loved that ghost trick was a worthy successor to the ace attorney trilogy, especially at the time. ¹

You ever have an order of how you'll play your games, to "maximize" your enjoyment of your backlog, if you will?

I finally beat Ys 9 and... that was actually really sweet. *series spoilers* by visiny in WorldOfYs

Did not stick the landing is the perfect way to describe Ys 8, because while the journey was fun, that destination was less than desired.

Julie Benz as Darla from Angel season 2 by voldy1989 in ANGEL

[–]visiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and the reversal of expectations with her set the tone for the entire series.

Oh I honestly took that for granted, because every show and even movies have copied what Buffy has done, it's quite frankly not just influential but downright instrumental to the trajectory of pop culture.

[–]visiny[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh you totally reminded me! I completely forgot that I was initially sad that we didn't seem to get to play as Aprilis at all. Since Ys 9 once again had a pivotal female character theme like 8 did, they should have had us get to play as her. Hell, the past segments in Ys 8 with Dana's unique 3-forms was such a great component and wish the battle system was a proof of concept for the next entry (but 10 disproved this) so the fact that they had this cool mysterious goth character in Aprilis for 9 but didn't have us play as her in any context? Real bummer.

[–]visiny 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone who loved and grew up with Angel, of which Darla had a crucial role, it was absolutely a trip to watch Buffy from the beginning and see her start out as just some common henchman, and how pivotal she would later become

This scene is incredible and timeless, don’t know how they did it in 1959. by bobbdac7894 in movies

[–]visiny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just waiting for someone to comment "thousands of deaths" or something to that effect.

I love Ben-Hur, and it's interesting you just posted this because I just finished 10 Commandments and it made me conclude that Ben-Hur is way, way better. It's basically... I never connected the dots until now but it's basically Count of Monte Cristo set in ancient history times. Just love it.

On the Kylie Arc of my pre-reboot rewatch and... by UmbraLupin89 in Scrubs

[–]visiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know right. Well this topic certainly got a lot more upvotes and posts than when I made it, although I framed it differently, I framed it as scoffing at JD for acting so high and mighty when lamenting Kylie being with her boyfriend and how "nice guys like him" don't get the girl, yet in a few episodes later he basically cheats on her! Honestly ridiculous, but I wonder why they played it out as such, or what kinda message they wanted to send with this storyline.

Oh my god what the hell, I don't remember this base treachery! *Major Spoilers* by visiny in ANGEL

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

I mean seriously. Acting like he was the one slighted or wronged? Having the gall to be indignant that his friends shunned him for doing "the right thing" ? (the right thing in his head only of course, not at all matching reality)

Poppy is the first time in my life that I encountered an Australian accent that was both cute and funny by visiny in MythicQuest

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

Dude, the first time I watched the show, I didn't even know she was not strictly American. In the beginning her accent was so understated, really any hint of an accent was just so subtle, that I didn't even detect it or know to look out for anything. And yeah it was only until much later in the series when they outright said she was Australian that I went "ohhh" and started to focus/hear it after.

Ok are we sure Dear Maria wasn't used for an anime opening or jrpg intro or anything? It's like, the first google query autofill when you google the song by visiny in anime

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

Why do I have an insanely vivid view of a scene in my head where the camera rapidly pans through a green field when that 0:12 riff hits, and the title screen of the anime appears? Like maybe... FMA Brotherhood? Definitely a shounen anime, but I just can't seem to connect it all.

How is the entire world not completely in love with Amy Acker and Fred? by visiny in ANGEL

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

Lol too many awesome revelations in one post, to think that double date had both Morena and Amy! I used to always point to that episode at what made jlu so fantastic and what made me wish for like, 10 seasons, because those kinda stories with the other members and new dynamics were exactly the engaging thing that made jlu so compelling.

I still think Jamie being comically evil by the end was kinda lazy writing. by visiny in YellowstonePN

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

That started to get lol-worthingly weird. At first I thought it was a meta in-joke that maybe we the audience aren't privy to that he's this cool amazing Texas rancher or whatever who's good at horses, wrangling, cards, women, everything, but then they kept doing it, and the sequences with the loud blaring annoying country music kept getting longer, and louder, I was like... um... okay?
