I watched that movie Promising Young Women today. It's supposed to be super feminist and about female empowerment, but it was pretty disappointing. It stumbled over its themes really badly and was pretty predictable. Apparently it's been really well received, but it was just bad! Such a shame. I like Margot Robbie so I thought it would be alright since she was producer but zannen.
>>927998 It came out in January 2020 at some festival and never hit the theaters due ti Covid so it kind of ended up going under the radar but I saw some chatter about it on Twitter recently. And I was told that it was one of these, woman on a violent rampage getting revenge on the patriarchy type movies. But there was virtually no violence!

Cooking in BOTW is also p fun You can just throw whatever you want into a pot, it's way better than most games of this type where you gotta find someone who can teach you a recipe where you put an apple and a mushroom in a pot
Anno
>>928001 Experimenting sure is addicting Plus if you look around the insides of buildings and sometimes elsewhere, or talk to people, they will tell you recipes you can make It's not an unlock or anything, but more of a pointer to a combination you might not've considered on your own.
S C
Do I unlock the ability to craft weapons at any point, or is it all find and use?
S C
Or rather, is there a way that I just haven't been explicitly taught yet? Cooking wasn't really an unlock, I think, I just got told how to do it at one point
rook
just use wat you find there are four weapons that you can recreate once they break, but it's kinda expensive and they're not worth it imo by the time I unlocked those I was swimming in lynel weapons
The little extra chests in shrines are neat too Until just now, I thought they only had like, valuables so you could get rupees, but this one had a bandana I assume is unique Extra climb speed
rook
yep that's unique that whole aet // set gives a huge bonus to climbing, it's one of the most useful
S C
Is there an easy way to tell what shrines I missed the chest in? Cause I've only missed 2 I think, and I dunno which ones, I just remember later going "Oh, I didn't find it in that last one, did I?"
rook
I don't think there is I missed a unique item once in a shrine and I had to look up which it was

The test of strength shrines sure are a lot, huh Guess they're late game content Got absolutely bodied by a sentinel thing five times before I went "hold on, all of this for one fucking orb?"
Anno
Nah you can totally take on the Test of Strength shrines pretty much right out of the Great Plateau Approach the fights like you would a Dark Souls boss, and use the opportunity to learn how to Shield Parry and dodge counters
S C
I mean, sure, "approach the fights carefully" but that doesn't help when I have no weapons with damage left at the end and the fucker shoots two beams, unlike every single other guardian I've ever seen

Anno
>>928042 If you go into a Test of Strength, even a Greater Test of Strength, with two, maybe three basic metal weapons, a metal shield, and maybe a bow and some arrows, you have what you need to beat that fight without cheesing it. The first time you encounter one of the Test of Strength shrines, it'll definitely feel like it overwhelms you unless you've been preparing properly, and even then it's not supposed to be a breezy fight But they're a learning lesson for some of the much harder fights you'll find in the game.
>>928047 Well, I barely had any resources on me I had 2 swords and a buncha clubs and iron hammers, but all of it was broken by the time I got to the part where the fucker sat down and charged a laser I assumed it was one, but it was two, and that's when I decided I'll go back later
It's too much effort for a single orb this early in the game anyway, I can just go fish up balls from a pool of water or whatever the next shrine will be instead
Yeah same I closed my eyes for maybe twenty minutes or so earlier but aside from that I didn't really get my evening nap At least it's almost the weekend

how are you today
FormerRei@mobile
>>928204 Excited I'm really happy with my new magic deck. If things go right I'll be able to play on Saturday. I played with my roommate a little bit but he doesn't like EDH. In games without prizes he quits if he makes a mistake and gets really salty. I beat him four times on Wednesday. Including him quitting turn three because he didn't read the card I had out and destroyed his commander due to the effect of mine. Although I blame him for that because I've been talking about what this card does for like six months now. >>928206 Nice I almost wwent to see the ring cycle at the lyric opera but I caught a cold and was coughing a lot so we ended up not going.
this energy drink i'm drinking in the morning says it has NeuroFactor and AstraGin what the fuck
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i miss the voices tho
where'd they go guess i need a higher dose for that
Anno
https://www.futureceuticals.com/sites/default/files/styles/mobile_friendly/public/2018-06/brandlogos-neurofactor.jpg?itok=K7y5l8Sb woops that's not how you do that
NeuroFactor® is an all-natural, patented extract of whole fruit from the Coffea arabica plant.
NeuroFactor® contains a unique profile of polyphenols that have been shown in clinical study to stimulate the production of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a key neuroprotein involved in overall brain health. BDNF has been widely reported to play a critical role in neuronal development, maintenance, repair, and protection against neuro-degeneration.
Anno
wtf is this if this works, will i be a super gamer tomorrow
>>928209 Well, it makes any card that buffs a creature into a kill spell. Technically any spell or ability that would target a creature. So it runs really weird cards that you wouldn't normally run. For example in the ffifirst game i played against my roommate he tried to equip his creature with a really powerful (and expensive) equipment card, but the equip ability triggers Horobi's ability.
this is what i bought i bought it because it said warhead flavor and i'm always down for something new but apparently it has "performance enhancing chemicals" in it i doubt they are going to do anything that other energy drinks do but who knows i'm really just in it for the caffeine
I actually found a sour candy that's like 20 times more sour than warheads. The way I calculated it was by dividing the number of warheads you need to eat t o cause your mouth to bleed by the number of these other candies you need to eat to make your mouth bleed. You're not supposed to eat more than like five or six per somsome amount of time. Anyways I never bought it because i know i wouldn't have te self control to stop myself from eating them until my mouth started bleeding.

the lasers were sick af that was Virtual Self, Porter's trance project Skrillex was also there and Bassnectar
FormerRei@mobile
>Skrillex We're you able to see him press play on his laptop with your naked eye?
Anno
do you think the reason people go to shows like that is to watch a musician perform his art
FormerRei@mobile
>>928247 No, it's to dance, do drugs and tell people you went.
Anno
you sound like someone who focuses a bit too much on the last part, and has never really enjoyed either of the first two
FormerRei@mobile
>>928249 I don't do drugs. I just find the idea of paying to see a musician who doesn't play an instrument incredibly bizarre. Really he's more of a composer.
Anno
neither do i unless you count alcohol and i don't dance very nicely either but some of the best moments of my life have been on the dancefloor
Anno
>>928250 they usually refer to themselves and are referred to as composers but as someone who plays instruments and produces you can't really say that music and a love of the art - how sound can influence emotion through rhythm and melody - isn't a major part of both and the shortsightedness to dismiss the experience of an EDM show simply because you already know how more traditional arrangements might suit your fancy isn't really excusable based on the premise that displaying mechanical skill on stage is a requirement for higher art
FormerRei@mobile
>>928252 It might not be a requirement for higher art, but it certainly makes a better performance.
Anno
i'll remind you as well that musical elitism as a cultural phenomenon is rooted in racism
>>928253 it just makes it a different performance not a better one
man some of my favorite musicians in the world are tosin abasi, rachimaninoff like i get the love of technical prowess and skill, but that isn't the only facet of music
I think k I'll stay up all night and get aan eeneeneeenergy drink in the morning. I'll need to check if the convenience store is open early enough though.

Looks like they do. I guess it wouldn't be very convenient if they weren't open before 8am.
Man for pallets of stuff in this morning alone The receiving part of the warehouse is already kind of full up to boot These dumbass buyers need to stop buying things we don't have space for
I guess I'll should try out some homemade mouse trap designs when I can. // I should I've seen the same mouse that has made itself at home in my room for ages, take the bait off the traditional traps I set up with ease in the past hour. I know my dad had some success with a trap he made from somewhere online, so I might as well give it a try.

Thunderblight Ganon has me feeling like just quitting this game, honestly 4 dodges necessary, all with a window shorter than the bluetooth lag This is fucking stupid
S C
>Thunder Ganon is the hardest Yeah I mean when the main enemy is the actual game controls, that does make a fight harder
Guess I'm gonna have to wait with this guy until I'm later into the game I CAN beat him right now, I just keep dying on the last phase because after dodging in phase 1 and fighting my own controller in phase 2, I get 1tapped since I have only 4 hearts when he rushes in from who knows where in phase 3 Can't see him, tracking him with a joycon isn't feasible
FormerRei@mobile
>>928308 Maybe you need to get the pprpro controller.
For now, I guess I'll get started on the other parts of the game Look for shrines, farm up rupees for gear, cook It's a really fun game other than a few severe complaints I have, after all
Even this ganon situation, my MAIN complaint is the controller isn't fit for purpose here, the boss fight is just not reasonable for the default controllers for the console And that is a serious complaint, but I'll just get a procontroller so I can do it later
FormerRei@mobile
>>928318 You should go see the Iwata NPC And the Robin Williams NPC
S C
>>928319 I prefer to find those kinds of things naturally, but maybe once I'm really late into the game I'll look them up if I haven't run into them
FormerRei@mobile
I miss roRobin Williams ;_;

I had no real relation to the man From what I gather he was a pretty good dude though
FormerRei@mobile

Really though, for a world that needs saving, Hyrule really isn't doing that bad It's been 100 years since they failed to stop Ganon and he's just kinda chilling at the castle
It seems fine to just let him He can have the castle
But, there is a cookbook in there I need for a quest, so I guess I've gotta save the world
Naw, I grew bored one day and just didn't boot it up again since May or may not go back again some time, but then I'm just gonna buy my first month of premium so I can get a more efficient mining ship and start making money so I can finally start fucking around on the market
How do you find a good guild though? That's something I've struggled with in every mmo
S C
Ladder climbing I think In most MMOs it's whatever, you just sorta find or get found by a guild, join it, and enjoy your time With EVE I think it's more like, you network The largest guild isn't even recruiting I think, they're just Something Awful's guild
But EVE is always in motion, so you could get in on the ground floor, presumably, with some new guild dedicated to actually going big

No, it wasn't even like that. Like, I said I wasn't and that my Zen lineage comes from Japan. And she started telling me that her husband is Asian. I don't know if he's Japanese or not though because she just gave me the general "Asian"
Which is all really weird.
>>928894 No, I don't think it was that either. I have no idea what she meant.
Unfortunately, I think it's just me. It's Crazy Train! Because people are like this no matter where I go. I don't know if I drive people mad or if people just feel so relaxed around me that they let themselves slip up and act weird or what. But people always act strangely around me.

rome 2 with mods is fun, but it has the "stat line" problem ie. a shield formation with tons of armour just melting to arrows at some point, because their hit points ran out something that that kind of equipment and formation was invented to counter...
that is a fun game quite fun combat mechanic, what with being able to rewind time and setting up each character separately

yeah i make tuna sandwiches with mayo but i usually put crackers inside something about the crunch i use potato chips if those are around just a few, enough to cover the surface, so like 5 or 6 chips/crackers is usually enough and then i also like to add peas to the tuna and mayo when i have them around
