  1. "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" what a bad movie. For the most part it's "fine". Very slow pacing but "fine". The last act was the kick into the groin.

  2. The last season of Disenchantment is quite a mess in how the story was told.

    • @adiwan I think the whole show would have gone a lot better if the first 4 seasons tried to develop the overarching plot during the whole season instead of just the first and last 2 episodes. This latest one was, like, "all plot, all the time!" and it felt so slapped together. Not awful, but I'm glad they didn't try to keep it alive for 40 years, and I'm not hopeful that Comedy Central will pick it up for a revival in 2030.

    • @scribus I think the creators had a lot of internal conflict on how to create an epic and make the episodes episodic, like Futurama and Simpsons. I fully agree with you. I really liked the characters, some more, some less, but none were truly terrible (even Elfo to some degree). It's just that the plot made all of them brainless and stupid stretching all of the characters to an unrecognizable form. Fast-forwarding a lot of the plot didn't help. In this season, multiple times, there was no reason to stop a chase but it happened despite no reason at all.

  3. Ah F***!!!! Got a bill from the government for the tax for buying land. 11k€ down the drain. I knew I had to pay it before I got into thinking about buying a house. It still stings nonetheless. That's about 2800 comic issues!

  5. In a week I'll own a house! I'd be happier if the city wouldn't penny-pinch me. I had to pay a bill for something that the city should pay themselves: an investigation if the city has an interest in buying the house (first refusal right).

    • @adiwan Wow that is a dumb demand, but congratulations on the homeownership!

      about 10 months ago in context
    • @scribus Thanks. The bill was 65€ for that. I will certainly suffer for pleasure of owning a home, especially since there was nothing done for over 40 years and has still wallpaper from the late 70s. What has to be done: New switch box (solar power ready), new electric cables, new windows, roof isolation, the wilderness of a garden needs to be tamed. Also when I'm at it I'll lay down network cables everywhere, at least CAT7 and glass fiber.

  6. Done with Yakuza 4, now on Yakuza 5. Big thing I’m noticing about 5 is that it’s slightly more impressive both technically and as a game than Yakuza Kiwami, which released four years later on a next gen console, which is a bit confusing to me but whatever

ChatGPT seems to believe that Sora from Kingdom Hearts would be perfectly willing to ally with Tony Soprano but would draw the line at Walter White and I’m uncomfortable with the knowledge that, to an AI, the line between friend and foe lies somewhere between “murderous mob boss” and “murderous drug lord” and not well before both points.

  18. My D&D group started a new campaign and the starting level is 2. I managed to be at 0HP three times within the first two sessions. The first time was a mimic (a barrel), then a quickling, and then some goblinoids with slings.

    • @scribus It's a female lizardfolk grassland druid with the name "Chamilia Moonsicle". This type of druid is not a tank. With the natural armor and a wooden shield she has 16 AC. Not bad but still too squishy for my taste.
      The first down-to-zero-HP moment happened as she examined a weird barrel that happened to be a mimic-like animated creature. The next time it was a Quickling she managed to percieve (Quickling moved extremely fast) and followed a few steps out of the door, where she got stabbed 3 times with high damage rolls. Then she was hit to the head with a sling by a goblinoid savage (having little HP at the beginning of the battle didn't help either).
      I didn't play unreasonable and not without caution but it was more dumb luck than anything else.

  19. It sounds obvious in retrospect that you should just play 0 first anyway but I wasn’t expecting them to insert much from 0 into the remakes given how closely the actual story cutscenes stick to the source material

    about a year ago from web
    • @zeldatra I started with 0 as it is basically the beginning of Kiryus story, even though it was told much later after the Yakuza 1 release. 0 has some minor spoilers for 4 and quite some references to other installments. It didn't bother me. I rather liked it because I got an 'aha' moment and understood the reference retroactively, making the scene a little bit richer and due to the backstory aspect more understandable. The problem one can see more is making the decision when to play 0. When it comes to real downgrades Yakuza games 3 is the one that aged the worst, as it didn't get the Kiwami treatment and modernizing the controls and gameplay feel. Looking back on it it has some endearing retro aspect of the PS3 era when looking past those flaws. Generally starting with Kiwami 1 isn't bad either gameplay-wise, as the other games feel much more open and there are more areas besides Kamurocho.

  20. Not that I think this is a bad thing, but I got whiplash upon learning that Kiryu, a Japanese man in 2005 approaching middle age who in the lead-up to Yakuza has been in prison since the 90s, and before that having been in a criminal syndicate since the 80s, is not homophobic, and is perfectly pleasant and even supportive of his cabaret date upon learning she’s a lesbian.

  23. I tasted mead recently but it tasted more like acetone and couldn't stomach more than a few drops. But it's a "me"-problem. It was good and not spoiled. I just have a different taste. Even normal wine tastes like some kind of acetone to me. Grape juice itself is alright for me. I guess the fermentation products are causing the putrid smells and tastes that my nose and tongue cannot deal with. Also beer smells like wet and half-eaten bread with vinegar. Pure vodka also is very nasty as it creates a very strong burning sensation in the esophagus.
    Never gonna be drunk because of that alone.

    • @scribus Moho or Blender would be your best bets probably, with the latter you could just prep the images in Photoshop or something like that beforehand you could just import each element into Blender as a plane and just have the camera looking at them flat from above, with a sun lamp pointing straight down for uniform lighting.

  30. Today in “I can’t believe this actually happened to me”, my boss is upset that I answered an email from the district manager before he did because in his mind it makes him look bad. The email was addressed to both of us and I already had the answer + required paperwork on me because I had been investigating the same thing that the DM wanted me to know about. Maybe answer the email faster then?

    • @zeldatra Your boss has some serious inferiority complex and cannot be proud to have good and promptly working people under his umbrella and cannot be happy not doing the work himself. Seriously I think he wanted to be the man doing this in order to show more face in front of his superiors and gather more reasons for a pay raise.
