doug@lemmy.todayto Games@sh.itjust.works•Control Resonant Is An Action Masterpiece For Total Sickos, Like MeEnglish181·1 month agoSadly the older I get the less interested I am in reflex-heavy action titles.
I know Control had some welcome accessibility options including 100% aim assistance and 1 shot kills (that didn’t affect achievements!), but uhhh, at that point I’m just like what am I doing here?
I want a multiplayer game with roles for slow farts or non-sweaty people. Phasmophobia’s onto something with having someone sit in a van. Division almost had it with that tablet role they pulled before the game was released, where someone could just be on a tablet and buff/debuff people.
I’d love to see a 5 player spaceship game like No Man’s Sky where a ship can have someone just watching engines or shields and doing their station with no stress about much else.
…this comment digressed, but uhhh, all’s that to say this game looks good for people into it, but sadly not for me.
I’m willing to forgive them, but take my forgiveness with the grain of salt that is my clown fetish.

like he represents himself in court and that’s his entire statement.

…I mean that they/them joke’s been done so many times there’s a community devoted to spotting them. then it undoes the punch to republicans with the racist joke by saying everyone’s racist, which has also been done/it was a whole Avenue Q number.
then again i’m dead inside and haven’t been laughing at a lot of comedies these days, so this is probably a me problem. I thought Naked Gun was alright tho.

doug@lemmy.todayMto movies@piefed.social•Jonathan Majors Sets Acting Comeback With Daily Wire-Produced Action MovieEnglish2·1 month agobruh he even admits to strangling an ex and has accusations from 20+ women— statistically, one of them’s gonna not be white (not to mention statistically, attempting to strangle a woman has a near 100% chance to lead to murder).
maybe under other circumstances your unshakeable loyalty would be admirable, but here it’s just untenable and comes off dogmatic at best and suspicious at worst.

Not a great family.
doug@lemmy.todayMto movies@piefed.social•Jonathan Majors Sets Acting Comeback With Daily Wire-Produced Action MovieEnglish0·1 month ago…he was found guilty of assault. He was even sentenced to domestic violence intervention. There are multiple-- not just one-- unrelated, independent persons who have accused him of abuse …this isn’t even one of those “well all of the charges were dropped” scenarios like Kevin Spacey.
He went from white to black so I don’t think we’ll be hearing any allegations like this about him again.
by all means, expand on this.
doug@lemmy.todayMto movies@piefed.social•Jonathan Majors Sets Acting Comeback With Daily Wire-Produced Action MovieEnglish1·1 month agosure, but “Executive Producer” is not a small title/amount of investment. it’s not like it was independently-financed and then picked up like Angel studios/network does with their movies.
…also, “funny” in like a this-is-so-fucking-stupid way, right?
i’ve seen enough of Walsh’s opinions from social media I ain’t giving him an iota of my money or voluntary attention.
doug@lemmy.todayMto movies@piefed.social•Jonathan Majors Sets Acting Comeback With Daily Wire-Produced Action MovieEnglish1·1 month agoFor those that don’t know, Ben Shapiro’s produced movies that weren’t explicitly branded as being under The Daily Wire, including one starring Thomas Jane and Radha Mitchell.
Dallas Sonnier-- the same person who produced all three of Craig S Zahler’s movies– is behind the Daily Wire’s push into cinema. Zahler is being touted by some outlets as a model right-wing film maker, but he has kept his mouth shut on the matter. Reading between the lines that he has no issues casting problematic talent, and wrote a movie with near-caricatures of Native Americans, it wouldn’t surprise me what his political leanings are.
(…also worldofreel/Jordan Ruimy has a bit of a sordid history when it comes to being a credible source 1, 2, and 3)
I hate that planking is the best exercise for strengthening your lower back. They’re just so boring to do.
doug@lemmy.todayto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?English2·1 month agofwiw I don’t believe any of what I just wrote.
It’s just a creative exercise imo/fun worldbuilding
doug@lemmy.todayto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?English31·1 month agoIt’s fun to think up thought experiments that explain away the reasons we can’t prove they exist.
Time isn’t linear, we’re just limited to experiencing it that way while we’re alive.
After we die, we experience time differently; in an impossible-to-describe way, but is akin to a book with limitless pages. Your existence is a bookmark in this book, and dying makes you lose your place.
It is possible to re-find your place, but with unfathomable access to unfathomable histories and futures, there is a near-infinite choice of other events and timelines for a ghost to visit and observe and experience.
Coupled with that, there are laws— some sort of physical laws, not arbitrary— to visiting the pages of this book, in that they can only be done in areas that do not cause pages before or after to change dramatically. A ghost is a spec of ink on the page; it cannot write letters, words, or sentences. If anything like this were ever done, we would never know as our minds would simply accept the memory as fact without knowing, or delete the memory of a ghost the way we space out driving on a highway or having to look at our watch a second time.
Lastly, our senses are all on varying spectrums; some of us able to see, hear, smell, experience things others cannot. One of our senses is a sense of time. Some people’s sense of time operates on a scope of a wider caliber than others, experiencing things others cannot, which is why some of us may have experienced ghosts while others haven’t.
edit: I guess it needs clarification based on the downvotes, I don’t believe any of what I just wrote (except the true bits like time not being linear & sense scopes). I don’t believe in ghosts/have never seen one, but I try to stay open-minded for friends who might disagree.
Ah snap thanks for the reminder.
I know it’s all automated these days, but the mental prep isn’t.
