  • Well yeah he’s awful for the wish but I don’t really buy the whole ‘he was protecting Bear’ thing. If my best friend has been pining over our mutual friend since HS, who I’ve been hooking up with casually on the side, I think the kindest thing to do would be to be straight up with him. If the movie hadn’t opened with Ian essentially going “yeah she’ll HATE the heartfelt confession, you should just neg her instead by calling her by the nickname her bullies used in school”; I could buy the ‘he was just protecting his friend from getting hurt’

    I’m in the camp that Nikki never liked Bear and Ian knew it.

    This was my take as well but I think that is also why I view Ian as also a piece of shit. Entire movie could have ended in the diner if Ian had just gone “She doesn’t like you more than a friend, but cheer up there’s more fish in the sea” instead of saying ‘just wait for the right moment :)’

    I love going to the movies & I love talking about them with people, so the pleasure’s all mine. I should do more serious reviews. Next week will be Leviticus, which I hope will be good. (Actually shocked my theater is showing this since they FUCKING REFUSED TO SHOW PILLION FOR EVEN A SINGLE DAY…but then again Leviticus is gay conversion camp horror whereas Pillion is a bdsm romance…)

    Stay tuned later this month for my reviews of The Death of Robin Hood and Supergirl (lol), maybe also The Furious too if my local theater bothers to actually show it for more than a week. Maybe the new Jackass as well.

    July will of course be The Odyssey since I managed to get IMAX tickets for it. And maybe Spider-man but I doubt I’ll make a review for it since I expect it to be standard Marvelslop (there hasn’t been a good Tom Holland Spider-Man movie change my mind)

    August will of course be dedicated solely to Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie cop very-normal





  • OOH are solar flares what cause the weird VCR overlay? I thought it was power overdraw (because i’d get the ‘low power’ warning) but had literally ~20 panels.

    The panels., batteries, and habitat were all within the turret’s range. My first screenshot shows it essentially how it was when the meteor struck like 5-10 minutes later, except I added two more rows of 5 panels above the batteries and finished the row of batteries.

    I’m pretty sure now thinking back that it was probably a solar flare at the same time as the meteor storm but I didn’t realize that is what those were & that they’d negatively affect the power generation and buildings as a result. The explosion was spectacular though I wish I could have screen recorded it because 1 meteor took out all the batteries/panels and as I was reeling from the shock, the second one descended and landed on the habitat LOL.

    I will say as a suggestion I think the Lenin statue should have a way larger radius. I put it right below the habitat for aesthetics but was very upset when I realized it only affected the rovers when they came back to deposit metal since it has such a small radius. It should at least be able to reach the big minefield you can see my 3 rovers stuck in at the top of my second screenshot; or at least give an lesser unlimited range speed bonus!!!



  • Played like 25-30 minutes of it and liked it.

    Yes sir I will build that habitat

    I will say, the meteor showers really fucked me over. I had my turret smack dab in the middle of my solar panels/batteries and habitat/refineries, expecting it to at least prevent the critical stuff from going boom. But…no? Two meteors landed right on top of my solar panels & batteries, blowing them to hell and basically soft-locking me because my power draw is now too high for any of the rovers to move obama-spike

    …At least the Lenin statue survived lenin-rage



  • he is exactly where he wants to be, dont save him lol

    i meant that more in scope of the other characters. Like there was no reason for Bobby to go down the slope, go visible-disgust at all the clothes and say “ugh smells bad in here” and be like “okay :D let me go further to the very end of the rope for no reason”

    His girlfriend running off in search of him when he got dragged away, sure I can buy that in the moment but the entire time they were down there as a group I was like “just turn around you got the proof you need/wanted with the video-camera why are you all collectively deciding to explore more” and yeah, he’s down there cause he likes it there - that became evident to me when he was like “dang bobby’s dead and my other employee just presumably ran off to her death. can’t forget the camera though :D”

    If I’m the therapist though and my patient has already come to me freaking out about the rooms, I am NOT going past that damn threshold more than once. Oh I got in?? Cool, this validates his belief in my eyes, let me leave a “hey just stopped by, come to the office when you want to talk about this!! completely believe you now” note and turn my ass around!!

    I don’t need to keep going further past the weird ass reversed Stop sign and the subsequent cardboard cut-out with the Voyager “Hellos from earth” audio playing from a wired speaker attached to it. eviscerated


  • Theseus here is “the hot guy” with the “End Apartheid” shirt, come to free the slaves trapped in the labyrinth, but because he’s no longer a prince, but a wage earner, Ariadne and Daedalus (with his ball of string / rope) can’t help him.

    holy shit lol i thought at first you were just shitposting but when i got to this part i literally went

    (also does anyone know the emoji code we have for this i couldn’t find it)
