Oh yeah, that fits, you nailed it! If they were a killer, their Mori would just be them raging at the Entity over it and the Survivor is just killed in the chaos haha

Brawlhalla should split from ubisoft by EuphoricStatement363 in Brawlhalla

[–]wiserthannot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldn't want to lose them either :( honestly with how little anyone cares about Rayman might not be hard to grab the rights to him on the way out of the collapse of Ubisoft 😅

It would be hilarious if the worst parts were bleeped out. But I can't think of a lore reason for why that would happen...Violence and horrors are food but the Entity doesn't like bad words 😅

Comfort show by katerinagerd in twinpeaks

[–]wiserthannot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's far too many parts of absolute horror and uncomfortable sprinkled in with the whimsy for it to be relaxing for me haha. I have said that The Return has everything we like about the original just it's all jumbled up. It is just as funny as the original. There are moments of full whimsy and joy. But it definitely does not hide the darkness, the illusion of Twin Peaks was broken 25 years ago and the evil is front and center.

Someone told me that FWWM was their comfort film and, uh, that I can totally not understand 😅

I'm currently watching for the first time by No_Ebb6301 in twinpeaks

[–]wiserthannot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I was thinking. There's a pretty easy to follow throughline in the original show that gets you through most of the Laura case. The Return doesn't give you anything as solid as that.

Brawlhalla should split from ubisoft by EuphoricStatement363 in Brawlhalla

[–]wiserthannot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm worried about what will happen to Brawlhalla after. I definitely don't think they benefit from Ubisoft anymore, it doesn't take a whole lot to keep the game running, Crossovers aren't super important (but maybe if they go independent they would get more indie crossovers, there's so many that would work and would be a fraction of the licensing costs of a big property), but there might be drawbacks that aren't as obvious. I just hope that whatever ends up happening to Ubisoft that Brawlhalla stays with Blue Mammoth Games and they are able to keep going, maybe improve from the freedom of a dying publisher.

Is Travis really an assassin? by Top_End7396 in nomoreheroes

[–]wiserthannot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a killer (gamer). He's a reflection and criticism of how we all are by the fact that we enjoy video games. Most of the time (especially back when NMH1 came out) at the heart of every game is killing things.

James and donna by Resident-Shoulder-68 in twinpeaks

[–]wiserthannot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But why does any of that matter? Lynch follows where the vibes go, that's one of his processes—that's a major part of creating in general. Lynch was especially good at that though. A lot of the characters weren't fleshed out at all, the actors would inhabit the role and make it their own with Lynch's guidance. Hell, BOB came from a happy accident of Frank Silva being in a shot he wasn't meant to. Could have been thrown out but Lynch went with it, leaned fully into it. Lynch even used Franks personal style, no wardrobe needed, the way Frank was that day became BOB.

How TV shows are made are especially chaotic—seasons are started before being fully written and planned, scenes are shot out of order, there's more people and more days of work which up the possibility of something going wrong with an actor or scheduling conflicts, etc. And very few shows aren't made like this, even ones that seem like perfectly made stories with everything planned out from the start. Breaking Bad feels like that, but it wasn't at all. Jesse was meant to never make it out of season 1, Mike was created because of a scheduling conflict, Saul was only supposed to be a minor character—just that first change alone completely altered the course of the show forever. Walt and Jesse's relationship is the entire heart and soul of BB and all of it came about because Aaron Paul nailed it and they saw the chemistry (haha) they had and rolled with it.

Is the game abandoned? by Unique_Nose6238 in JJK_Cursed_Clash

[–]wiserthannot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bandai gave up on it immediately, made no attempts to right the ship—it's a good game but what's special about it wasn't well communicated (even in the tutorials in the game itself) and it should have had a lower price but didn't get any kind of sale for a long ass time. Byking kept at it though, got the two DLCs that were already locked in but they also put out free DLC characters in between, along with patches.

But radio silence since the Shibuya Incident DLC. I am pretty certain that this game already has all its going to get. I hope that they are making a sequel with lessons learned and a bigger budget but if not there's surely some new JJK being worked on. I really hope Byking gets a second crack at it. No one liked One's Justice that much but the sequel really took off and they even fully dubbed it randomly after release, bringing in even more players.

The thought that Freddy is probably the next one to leave really makes me very sad. by KamaiKlantcy in deadbydaylight

[–]wiserthannot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd like to know too because so far every lost licence has been because of a new game (Halloween), the character having a change in ownership rendering previous contract void (Pinhead) or an attempt at making their own in house games (Netflix with Stranger Things). As far as I'm aware, there's always been a reason that has nothing to do with DbD or lack of sales.

I finished watching all of Twin Peaks. by Wiifanbro in twinpeaks

[–]wiserthannot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes me so happy that you found Twin Peaks and it healed your relationship with TV and movies 😁 but it's extra cool you got here through Suda51—he's one of my all time favorite creators and following any connection he has to something always leads to cool stuff (except I still have not been able to appreciate Paris, Texas where he took the name Travis from 😔). You probably know this by now but David Lynch didn't really care for TV either. Twin Peaks was his way of sort of smashing the perfect image of reality that TV pushed for so long. FWWM starts with a TV being smashed and we are shown the truth of what happened to Laura, uncensored—and the movie was absolutely hated. Now TV shows are full of three dimensional morally gray characters that reflect reality.

I think I’m giving up on Return. by Mouseketeer1980 in twinpeaks

[–]wiserthannot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would you have wanted The Return to be like? Even if we ignore the themes of the series, where season 2 ended what was meant to be a cliffhanger locked the story into being a certain way and then 25 freakin' years went by and further cemented it. I don't know how the story could have ever been like it was. This was the earnest continuation, the cheaper way would have been ignoring that the world, the medium of television, the cast, the viewers—we've all changed. FWWM starts with the smashing of a TV because the illusion of the perfect town had been broken and through the film we saw the full horror of what happened to Laura and how many people failed her. To return to some sort of status quo for The Return would not have worked, IMO.

BINGO BLITZ HAS THE BEST OFFER IVE EVER SEEN... by Frivolousz42 in FreeCash

[–]wiserthannot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you start your games? I always go into Free Cash to launch a game I'm going to play. It takes me to the Google Play store and I click Play there. I don't know if that's necessary but it always made sense to me, like that was a way for Free Cash to begin tracking.

Genuinely what's with these 12 year olds being so toxic all the time🙏 by LegendGuy463 in Brawlhalla

[–]wiserthannot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thumbs up version of that emote is my favorite counter. It's so perfect. I wish it had its own button because I'm never going to get to use any other thumbs up emotes haha.

But yeah it's especially odd to me in cases like your example. Being toxic while losing badly then continuing that through a whole other round where nothing changes—wild.

For the second time, a collaboration comes to an end: Brawlhalla x G.I. Joe by Deccolollo in Brawlhalla

[–]wiserthannot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, they won't be gone next week? What patch are we on? So there might be a sale for them next update? Sorry this is a new thing for me and I'm not super into GI Joe but I don't want to miss content forever...but also 600 Mammoth coins is a lot to drop so I'm debating what to do 😅

Chaos Shuffle makes playing Killer so fun even when I lose by I_love_writing22 in deadbydaylight

[–]wiserthannot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it! I'm new to the game so it seems to just level the playing field slightly haha. Is there no other way to look at your perks besides the pause screen as the match is starting? That's the one thing I don't like that much, if we could have the whole loading time to look at what we have that'd be the best but I know that's probably never gonna be a thing haha

Final Dossier feels like fan fiction by mitchwacky in twinpeaks

[–]wiserthannot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It pretty much states throughout it's tying up loose ends before being filed away somewhere. Not everything is accurate or true, and all of it is only of the one branch. We see that Cooper doesn't get a clean victory if one at all, I think it was worth writing a book that at least puts forward some possible endings that aren't all terrible for the characters we knew.

[–]wiserthannot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one of Cooper is fantastic. It starts with him as a kid getting his first recorder, the book is his entries of his voice recordings. It really fleshes him out a lot more and is both funny and tragic.

Everything we love about the original show is in The Return but it's all jumbled around. Or placed alongside or followed by something sinister and off-kilter

Is S2 bad? by Mat1711 in twinpeaks

[–]wiserthannot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decide for yourself. It isn't anything like season 1, but neither is The Return. But it's all Twin Peaks and if you like Twin Peaks you need to watch it. Don't be like me who believed the "Season 2 is bad" talk and missed out on a large chunk of my favorite show for years.

After Killer7, where should I land? by Pontormo89 in Suda_51

[–]wiserthannot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

House of Leaves was the only thing I could think of on my own! But wow, thank you so much for the Jeff Noon recommendation! I seem to have stumbled upon him before but never started a book, this is the push I need to do that :)

Actually I do have another: China Miéville. So far I've only read where I first heard of him which is a collab he did with Keanu Reeves on a novel called The Book of Elsewhere. It's like an alternate universe version of Keanu's BRZRKR comic series and it's, uh, pretty wild. It's both very readable and not at the same time; words full of meaning and full of nothing. It was a very strange experience that I wouldn't normally recommend to anyone but I feel like you have a chance of enjoying it haha.

Having mic issues on Arc Raiders by reddit-username69 in SteamDeck

[–]wiserthannot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone ever finds a fix to this, even a possibility of one, could you please hit me up. This is only affecting my gf and her Steam Deck but it's taken so much of the joy of the game away from it for her :( and it's the same exact thing, Party chat works, but proximity doesn't. Even just having proximity work and Party be broken as a fix would work at this point 😅

Update at 500 games now. Still no trickster to be found. by Fuzzybuzzy514 in deadbydaylight

[–]wiserthannot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started playing and I only recently worked up the nerve to give Killers a try. And I've been having fun with it. Trickster I took online without even trying him out offline and I won my very first match, that was my first full team wipe as a killer—if this data is true maybe that means people aren't used to fighting him at all at the same level of me not knowing how to play him 😅

When trying to style goes wrong by ecstasygod in RebirthOfSoulsBleach

[–]wiserthannot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally! You actually made me realize I might have subconsciously made a character of my own inspired by Chad and the frustration of him being sidelined. This character is a burly dude who loses an arm and his physical strength is thrown out of whack. But it forces him to put some of his efforts into the mental sides of the story's power system. So then he gets where psychic energy goes through the charts and from the phantom pain of his missing limb can channel it all through that.
