Number is pretty low in comparison to most comments on here, but I have 380 hours in FTL, so there’s that lol.

Yes thank you, that’s what I have tried to explain to so many people. It’s all about intent.

I love your use of Shutter Island as an exemple of a movie that tried too hard to be smart and mindbinding (even though I am usually a Scorsese fanboy). I felt a similar way about Inception. In comparison, Coherence surpassed both those movies in that regard with a budget of only 50k$.

However, in a completely different line, I loved John Wick because it was just about a guy going all berzerk at people that killed his dog. It was not trying to do anything else than being about people shooting at each other, but it was directed so well that I was hooked from the get-go.

The number of times I have expressed criticism at movies and people were lashing out at me for pointing out those shortcomings. I never said I did not like the movie, just that it was not a masterpiece. For some people a movie is either good or bad, and if you point out some criticism, then you did not like it and you are wrong for it.

There is a nuance between knowing that no revolution was made without arms and “loving guns”… If I ever have to use one, I know I won’t love it.

People forget that not everyone on Lemmy are from the States, because where I am from leftists are usually really anti-gun.

I guess it depends, where I work that’s all I see…

Sorry for the bad news… still the meme was pretty funny.

I love that MIA song, but it is bittersweet listening to it now that she went full on reborn christian conspirationist MAGA…

At least he’s dead so I feel less bad listening to Storm of the Light’s Bane

Wait until this guy hears about a certain genre called black metal…

OP

Being a native french speaker, I feel it’s actually closer to the real pronunciation than the “kwah” alternative. I would add don’t pronounce the T and you’re pretty much there.

Those cats got faces like in those medieval paintings.

There was also a time when people would get pay to press an elevator button for you. But we don’t do that anymore because those things are super easy and having someone doing it for you won’t make the process faster.

On the other hand, the thing that pisses me off the most about the self-checkout is that people take forever to scan their stuff. When I was working as a cashier I would have an average of 50 clients/hour. There ain’t no way those self checkout are more efficient considering the time people take.

Ouhhh that’s interesting. I love Horrified, it is one of my favourite game, but unfortunately I often end uo quaterbacking while I would prefer people sharing their thoughts. Will check this one out for sure, thanks for the suggestions !

I guess it is better to go for games that are cooperative and where everyone can contribute how they can without pressure. So I would suggest strategy games where everyone decides together what to do and all the players are united against the game, but in a way that it’s harder to put the blame on someone if they fail to do what’s expected of them (Ex : Hanabi). Here are some of my favourites that corresponds to this :

Pandemic

Horrified

Forbidden Desert

Fun fact : the white stuff is actually their urine.

To their defense, I think they are really self aware. The campiness and the theatrics are all intentional. It almost has a musical (the broadway kind) aspect to it. 5FDP actually believe they are hard.

The maturity of a 13 years old, but it’s listened by angry genXers and older millenials.

Some of my current favourites : Blood Incantation, Ulcerate, Worm, Civerous, The Ruins of Beverast.
