  1. Marvel movies

    I liked it. I liked Civil War though so I expected to like Infinity War. What I'm most interested in is seeing how the next movie
  2. I have lots of beef with valve as a company and the products they put out. The one thing that I don't think will change is the way the thumbs talk about their projects though, given that they're already pretty quiet about what they're working on.
  3. you can't put peanut butter between 2 spoonfuls of sugar
  4. Missions that made you quit

    There's a stealth mission like 90% of the way through Bully that made me quit immediately upon it being told to me that I needed to try and stealth.
  5. Movie/TV recommendations

    10/10, would chuckle at again
  6. Safe Words

    it never stops being funny when people find out that pineappl e is censored on the forums.

  9. Movie/TV recommendations

    Gene Demby, a writer for NPR tweeted and talked extensively about 3 billboards. (He did not like it and said that it's the worst movie he's seen since Crash) I recommend looking at the top thread in response to this tweet to see why he didn't like it.
  10. Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)

    @dartmonkey I'm just here to spread the word of Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Also that font is heinous.

    You wear your troll costume, I'll wear my shrok mask
  13. South Park

    We have repeatedly had conversations on this forum about how it's okay to enjoy something problematic. This forum almost never devolves into 'if you like this thing you're a bad person.' You can criticize things you like and you can criticize things you don't like without criticizing the people who like them. A conversation where everyone talks about how they like something is boring and dies fast. Unless you bring a lens and a perspective and a reading to something you can only type 'I like this because it makes me laugh' so many times before a thread just dies.
  14. Intoxicated:

    paging @Gormongous for more refined recommendations I would recommend you get some rum drinks at a bar actually before you commit to a whole bottle!
  15. Marvel movies

    I want to clarify that I liked Black Panther, and don't like/lack interest lots of Marvel movies. Marvel Movies I've liked: Thor Ragnarock Black Panther Spider-man Homecoming Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2 Captain America Civil War Marvel Movies I didn't like The Avengers Thor Ant-Man Marvel Movies I didn't even see because I don't really care or like the characters: Iron Man 1 - 3 Doctor Strange Avengers Ultron Captain America first avenger or winter soldier Thor 2 The Incredible Hulk I do think the movies are getting better as time goes on. I like that they're trying new things and not making garbage movies like Thor 1 any more. Even Ant-Man which I didn't really like was at least trying something different, than all the other movies. I liked Black Panther because it was fun to look at, had a story that was good enough to merit being told in movie form, and I liked the characters & the performances. I am a white woman but I thought it was neat to watch a movie that was about the African Diaspora and feelings of Blackness and isolation and responsibility. Plus the jokes were good. I like that I don't have to see every MCU movie and watch all the tv shows to be able to follow the movies. There's enough connective tissue that I believe that all these things are happening in the same universe but I don't feel like I'm lost or confused because I skipped huge chunks of releases. I would be much less likely to take a chance on a movie that I'm unsure of going in (like Ant-Man or CA:Civil War) if I thought it was necessary for me to see all of the films leading up to that.

    I'll bring my Shrok mask
  17. GDC Meetup 2018

    I will only be able to participate if it happens on a weekend - Saturday or Sunday.
  18. The Good Place

    The Good Place becomes a show that's properly about ethics and learning that what makes a good person is doing good things without the expectation of a reward, afterlife or not. It's a show that seems like it'll introduce a thing and take the rest of the season to build to it, but actually within the next episode it's completely turned its premise upside down, and it does this over and over. If you don't like it, you don't like it, but I would recommend sticking through the first big turning point, which I would agree happens in episode 7. My favorite turning point in the show happens in the season 1 finale though. I grew to really appreciate Jason, the DJ character, especially after episode 11 when you get the story of how he died. He continued to win me over in the course of season 2. It's a show that's hard to talk about without undercutting the surprise of some of those story pivots.
  19. Books, books, books...

    I read it over 10 years ago. I mostly just let it wash over me. Not much stood out to me except that Kerouac talks about going through my home town and talks about the Mississippi River in a way that I've never been able to shake as so evocative and beautiful. Here's the excerpt:
  20. Marvel movies

    i liked it.
  21. The McElroy Family of Products

    I figured I would make a dedicated McElroy thread, as I frequently want to share links/talk about things they do that bring me joy: http://mcelroyshows.com/ ^That's a website of all their ongoing projects that's fairly recently updated. It does not yet have the newest McElroy product - Also new episode of Stonerz today! -
  22. The McElroy Family of Products

    they've done i think 3 of these now (one with THE PEBBLE, a wrestlemania one where all of the creations wrestle and then a very recent one I haven't watched yet.) THE PEBBLE is one of my favorite things ever
  23. The Good Place

    what can I say Erkki, I'm a trend setter
  24. Life

    I think it's Nice, but it's an understandable mistake.
  25. I had a random thought about movies

    I, personally, am willing to forego seeing Weinstein distributed and produced movies. It seems that even though he was forced to resign he maintains stakeholder status is unlikely to be removed. I like movies, and have Movie Pass which means I am starting to see a lot more movies in theater, but like I said before, there's enough good stuff in the world to see that I don't need these movies in my life. Like I said before it's 100% a personal line to draw for yourself. If you continue to see movies produced by his company though, you may face some questioning or pushback from other people, but that's the risk of living in the world no matter what choices you make /shrug
