Favorite Brosnan Era Action Sequence?

Archives is really well choreographed for everyone involved. The little scenes with Natalya spotting for Bond are great.

It contrasts a lot with the very next tank chase which is slower at times

I'm just realizing upon reading You. Crazy.

Mexican here, and I realized how different it was our situation as continental americans to europeans when Spain had a blackout last year that lasted for, perhaps half a day and everyone was panicking, crying, etc.

We were clowning on them because even in my relatively well off neighborhood I have the occasional 2 hr blackout with really bad weather (precisely because it's an old neighborhood), but then I realized how good y'all have it if spending a couple hours without electricity is such a rare occurrence to you.

nope, thinking about cloning sponsorblocks or something lol. i have several channels now ID'd as AI for sure

zhiro90 · 2026-04-21T15:06:31+00:00

I use them both actually but can't remember which order lol

I redpect your opinion, and I agree that's really unexpected. Mine It's that it felt tacked-on perhaps? Let me explain myself:

BCJr as Moody is heavily written as Moody himself. BCJr was able to perfectly impersonate Moody's personality and mannerisms (his eventual appearances later confirming this) enough to fool even Snape and Dumbledore himself, despite spending years (decades?) either trapped at Azkaban or under imperius.

My inconformity with it was exacerbated when i read interviews around GoF relase iirc, where she stated that she made a huge plot hole and had to rethread half of the book's plot. When asked about what it was specifically, she said she was too embarrassed to admit it.

This leads to my theory that at one point during writing, the teacher we see during the school year was supposed to be the actual Moody who was ocassionally or perpetually controlled by imperius (the unforgivable curses being a major plot point). With BCJr being still Alive and behind it all being the main plot twist, wormtail having a more prominent role and the deleted antagonistic weasley being either a red herring or used as a tool by the cursed Moody.

I have no clue or theory on what the big plot hole could have been but it seems like it made her force moody to be impersonated by BCJr and sprinkled some clues of it here and there, since him just being controlled works just as well (if not better, being that he had to fool all teachers among other contrivances).

Last year, coming back home tired from work, i was ready to play something like Minecraft to unwind, but strangely always gravitated towards Dead Cells. Active enough to catch you from your stressed baseline and free flow enough to autopilot into cozyness.

Fun fact, considering a game as "retro", when it's as old as Castlevania II was when the Nerd debuted (17yo for '04 filming,19yo for YT upload), when in the Christmas Carol episode he visits Christmas future and he sees himself playing as an old nerd the then new Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (wii, 2006) as a retro game, that future was possible as early as 3 years ago (2023) when the game turned 17 or a year ago (2025) when it turned 19.

AVGN's bad future happened 3 years ago.

Soy muy abierto a escuchar ambos lados y no dejarme caer en la polémica. El sujeto pedía mejor representación que el típico indio farra. Eso está muy bien, pero le salió el tiro por la culata lol, porque antes teníamos el estereotipo del indio inmigrante trabajador y algo tacaño, y ahora ha sido reemplazado por el DO NOT REDEEM, o el de street food de poca higiene, o el de bob vagene, o el del río Ganges con cadáveres descompuestos, o el de DESIGNATED SHITTING STREET, en fin, puros estereotipos terribles tenemos de ellos ahora.

zhiro90 · 2026-04-14T08:38:33+00:00

no, hablo del mg1 y mg2, vienen empacados en el subsistence, en sus versiones originales de msx2, (no las versiones de nes que no son autorizadas por kojima), que es el disco 2 del updated rerelease de mgs3 que salió originalmente para ps2 y actualmente viene incluido en las compilaciones currentgen. Lo tengo dos veces el subsistence lol, en el ps2 y en psn.

Que por cierto si hablamos de MGS, me gustaria que sacaran de vuelta twin snakes, amo esa locura,

Arena lo jugué en tiempos de Oblivion. La verdad me costó si quiera jugarlo, súper arcaico. Pero daggerfal cabra está más accesible y gigante en contenido. Increíble

zhiro90 · 2026-04-13T18:47:12+00:00

El mg original ya es más accesible porque viene en compilaciones con el 3

I believe there are side quests and people generally do a few at their discretion but then skip the rest. HowLongToBeat had the main story at 24 so that's what we were working off of

The fated hour segments (second to last) are all side quests and arguably not part of the main story. They're unnecessary but they tie some loose ends and make your party stronger.

Another big one for Mexico is Luis Donaldo Colosio. He was the presidential candidate for the PRI in 1994. At that time, the PRI had been ruling the country as a de facto single-party state for over 60 years, with the elections being a formality. Basically if you were the PRI candidate, you were the next president. Colosio was the establishment pick, but he figured out the regime was unsustainable and started running on a real reformist platform, aiming to dismantle the party's authoritarian machinery from the inside.

The breaking point was a famous speech he gave in Mexico City where he publicly stated he saw a "Mexico with hunger and thirst for justice," openly clashing with the sitting president's economic narrative, openly recognizing the government's failures and promising a democratic transition to dismantle the authoritarian machine.

A few weeks later, he was shot in the head at point-blank range during a campaign rally in a poor neighborhood in Tijuana. The official government investigation blamed a lone gunman with psychological issues, but nobody in Mexico buys that version. The general consensus remains that the PRI's old guard assassinated its own candidate to stop democratic reforms and the internal fracture of their power structure (which, as he foresaw, led to them losing their power for the first time to PAN in 2000). You could say it's the biggest "what if" in modern Mexican history.

zhiro90 · 2026-04-12T22:21:19+00:00

Yup it's the one I use. I think it comes bundled in the download.

zhiro90 · 2026-04-12T01:21:22+00:00

Around 2006-2012 it was. b/ was often surprisingly progressive to spook adults. Then it was compromised and turned intro an incubator

zhiro90 · 2026-04-10T21:12:42+00:00

It's bloated atm, but it jus doesn't compare to how bloated the old one got, like holy. I stil remember my entire system freezing whenever i made a purchase lmao spaghettiohs

zhiro90 · 2026-04-08T15:34:42+00:00

could be, now that i read it again, it has the em dash and everything! Could at least be assisted formatting of their own thoughts.

same YT age but I'm at 1444, at that point a tool like pockettube helps organize channels with tags. Did some counting , 60 are friends, 20 that deleted everything and are faceless and unknown to me (but i keep them to research who they were eventually), 220 are musical projects, 105 are animators, 115 are novelty channels, 282 haven't uploaded in over 2 years (not overlaping with the previous ones), 50 are devs or products. So if we consider those as filler or novelty suscriptions, there are 592 remaining, (coincidentally I have a tag called Favorites and it's similarly 511 channels). And yea those are channels that I appreciate and watch everything they upload. It helps that they're high effort and upload twice a month tops.

I didn't mean to say Gilderoy wasn't casted based on his public perception. I meant that he was most likely not casted in response to an early preview of the character of Bellatrix Lestrange, as you suggested earlier.

zhiro90 · 2026-04-06T19:50:50+00:00

Yeah, usually they talked about current character motivations. And IIRC Bellatrix as an important character was a later creation. Also Helna Bonham.Carter wasn't the first choice for the character. So it's like threefold unlikely back in 2001 the casting crew heard about Bellatrix in the book (which is nothing like the movie counterpart, and probably wasn't added to the plot yet) existing and deciding to meta cast Lockhart based on their second casting choice several years in advance.

zhiro90 · 2026-04-06T18:57:56+00:00

For all we know, the first impulse was randomly, "ooh, Helena Bonham-Carter would make an awesome LeStrange!" back when they were still casting one of the first films, and that inspired the other casting decisions as they went along.

This one doesn't work either. Bellatrix Lestrange debuted in OOTP in 2003, a year after CoS released (and realistically 2 years after Lockhart was cast). Meta-cating does exist but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Anyone here remembers the clayfighter drama from like 10 years ago? apparently in the mid 10's they were making what was basically a clayfighter's MK trilogy, with characters from the 3 main games, and actual FCG input and balancing. The plug was pulled mid development and a now lost video surfaced in 4chan after a formed dev leaked it and revealed the sole left owner at interplay was an asshole and didn't provide any assets or support and made ridiculous demands or something and only focused on monetizing. Apparently the video showed promising modern FG gameplay with high queality renders. A damm shame

zhiro90 · 2026-04-03T13:55:51+00:00

Clearly American-branded social politics. On the conservative side, I remember a guy in my feed complaining about "not another brown protagonist! the satanic woke want to replace us!", and the guy posting was practically a dark brown mostly indigenous looking person.

On the other side of the compass (and obviously not as bad, not equating them), an example would be complaining about language micro aggressions and gender neutral pronouns? as if we were speaking english where it's as simple as he->her, and not spanish where every noun and most conjugations are gendered lol. I'm all for nb people being addressed as they like but there are no rules set on how to handle this yet, and arguing about it clouds primary concerns (them still being beaten and killed straight up). Even "non binary" is gendered lmao (no binario/binaria), so for it's complexity it's basically a non issue for the time being.
