gives me Goosebumps just thinking about it

where was Gondor when the Westfold swelled?

Yavanna gets the last word in

those bridges flipping upside down and the shapeshifting staircases were some next level platforming action back in the day! and that is also the song I go to most when going for sonic soundtracks. I jammed with a band for a while that played it, and also mystic cave zone.

run the whole trilogy, and keep those speakers cranked up

if 5 people are sitting together, and 4 of them proudly proclaim to be nazis, and the 5th person doesn’t leave - there are 5 nazis sitting together

be the repost you wish to see in this world

I never use prime, and stuff usually shows up in 2 or 3 days, anyway. They optimized their shipping abilities, and then convinced some people to pay more for it.

well now, how about that

I’ve seen this reposted a lot, and yet I still always see it as thicc batman. the optical illusion is forever stuck in my brain

just watched that episode recently! there’s a ton of small historical details in the show.

I just watched one that utilized an older anaesthetic called curare, and discusses how it was banned for a time, which was true, until safer versions were synthesized.

it seems like a pro-communist programming message to me. the red dude looks super cool and supportive.

gotta nuke somethin’

nobody prayed hard enough, so it got altered even more

not with that attitude

“I’ll have the chicken”

“and how would you like that cooked?”

“aight I’m-a head out”

SNAKE EYES

check please!

Hype is the not-so-quiet killer of good movies, but it’s a paradox: good movie gets spread by word-of-mouth so much that people stop wanting to hear about it and create a negative opinion before ever engaging with it.

I do my best to recommend movies/tv/games with simple “I liked it” or “it’s worth watching” type statements. I try to avoid overly personal statements like “you would love this” or “you need to see this”, since it takes the autonomy away from the person who might choose to watch it. Additionally, I very often use the phrase “say no more” when getting recommendations, to let people know I’m convinced to try it, without the need for overbearing elaboration.

I have had things ruined by pre-judgment for the over-hyped, and all I can do now is try not to ruin things for anyone else. It’s natural to want to rave about something we really like, but it’s worth being conscious of how bias can set in and affect other people.

you only ever get one true blind playthrough. I would gladly blank all of my soulsborne knowledge to play through all of them again with fresh eyes.

it’s not the same, but if you’re playing on PC there are some decent mods for DS 1, 2, and 3 that make them a little more fresh. particularly, the randomizer for DS1 makes it a pretty hilarious challenge, since you can no longer plan your runs in advance, and have to roll with absolutely mismatched gear
