  • I used to play inverted. If it wasn't inverted, I'd flail around helplessly. Then one day, inverted didn't feel right, and I had to switch. It's been that way ever since. Sometime during the PS2 era I think. I played equal numbers of PC and console games up to that point. Dunno why it happened.

  • You don't mess with Korean netizens.

  • Yeah, I remember a few sad runbacks with populations looking pretty sparse...

  • Yeah, and the waterfall blocked their hearing entirely. Might be a good idea to go live there, even. Especially if you're, y'know, pregnant.

    And some random guy in his house discovers the sound that messes them up. Apparently the military failed to try playing loud sounds at aliens with super sensitive hearing. Just never occurred to them to try that I guess.

    Annddd, if their hearing is that crazy sensitive, they'd be jumping at every random raccoon fart and bird dropping. There's no way they could pick humans out over any distance. Sound is just a pressure wave through a medium, and doesn't actually get that far with an appreciable amount of energy left over. These things would have to be everywhere to be such a threat, yet you hardly see any in the movie.

    Maybe entertaining, but it holds up to precisely zero scrutiny.

  • The run to Blue Smelter nearly gave me a coronary.

  • According to a cursory search, Banksy's net worth is $50 million. Hmm.

  • Yeah...

  • 이동호. Anglicized would be Lee Dongho, or Dongho Lee if you put his family name last like we do in the west. I searched the name, but nothing particular came up. It's not an uncommon name in Korea.

  • That's like Paul Simon's entire schtick. Alongside downbeat songs with uplifting lyrics.

  • I loved the first act. Acts 2 and 3 took a bit of a nosedive mechanically, I thought. It was very easy to break the game and just have some game-busting card combo that carried you through all the fights. I don't think I lost a single encounter in the third act. Still, it was super cool overall. Lots of interesting ideas.

  • It's the George Carlin bit about driving, "Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?".

  • Haha! Now you're just taking the piss. Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and any number of modern composers have composed plenty of music in 4/4. Whatever bias you have against western music, there's no denying they knew their shit.

  • Well, 4/4 is definitely the easiest to dance to. It's also the easiest to ignore in lieu of whatever else is going on musically. It appeals to the lowest common denominator. Not that 4/4 has to be boring or predictable.

  • The sound from the speakers he must have used was also "analog". Sound - defined as a pressure wave through a medium - can't be digital. Though the difference between analog and digital kinda loses meaning in cases like this.

  • I used to argue this stuff online. I had to quit for my sanity. If anyone wants a sample of the absolute insane beliefs and the staggering amount of handwaving these people are capable of, I suggest checking out evolutionfairytale.com. They will unironically claim to be objective, then a sentence later tell you that "proper science literature" is to be discredited because it has a pro-evolution bias. 🤣

  • One of my most vivid memories of the 80s was that bullying was absolutely rampant and no one did anything about it. Parents then were just like, "It's part of growing up!"

  • Oh fuck. I saw this and assumed he must be creeping up into his 70s or something. Nope. He's only got a few years on me. Well, a few years, and a significant amount of weed.

  • I have never seen this show, but I have a hard time believing he managed to entirely cook the wrong thing and no one told him at any point. Unless it was done on purpose to make a good story...

  • I have 4630 MP3s on my phone. Most of it is organized well enough. An album per folder. Lots of them are even tagged correctly. The folder on my PC that is holding probably 3X that is a horrible mess.

  • Yeah, those are painful too, but it's hardly just Subway. All food has gone way up in price in recent years. It sucks.
