I wonder if like Harold Bloom ever looks at Peterson’s grift and laments that he didn’t think of it first. Although it’s possible that he doesn’t own a computer.

Falstaff posted:Jordan Peterson does story analysis? But he's not that kind of humanities professor - he's a clinical psychologist. Yea that's the grift. He gets to say 'I'm in humanities' which is not a lie but because we straight don't teach humanities worth a drat in America his crowd assumes that means he's a master of all humanities topics. So when HE says we need to destroy the gender/racial studies and purge the arts of anyone who disagrees that the humble lobster is to be our totem it's actually good because he's ONE OF THEM.

Dapper_Swindler posted:whats the book of Henry? A movie that seems to be one of those quirk kids movies but is instead insane. A kinda ditzy mom has a super brain genius son who basically runs their household (like in a good way, he's nice and does their finances and helps his mom. ...the mom is really portrayed as being really not on the ball). He gets sick, kinda realizes he's gonna die, then writes up a book of stuff for his mom to do, then dies. This includes an elaborate murder plan for her to kill the abusive stepfather of a girl he likes because he's pretty much 100% sure he's molesting/beating her.

I do however know about the holocaust and history academic field. so whenever he tries to be a historian, he fucks up grandly and it shows he doesn't know how to approach poo poo.

The best thing about The Book of Henry was how amazeballs quickly Kathleen Kennedy fired Colin Tereverrow from directing Star Wars Episode IX over it once it dropped in theatres and everyone saw just how hosed up it was.

DoubleCakes posted:SuperButterBuns has a new video on the Kingdom Hearts series and I don't know if I'd recommend anyone to take Buns' advice but at the same time it's rather sensible. Anyone who makes a guide on how to get into a large and convoluted series like KH has to be a good soul. These kind of videos are so good for people although I can't think of many series like KH where playing just about every game is part of the gameplan to prepare for KH3. I only got a bit through KH1 and decided to play KH2; the opening chunk not only got me up to speed but according to people who played 1 all the way through made the story much better by cutting all the cruft off of it and sticking to the emotional beats. business hammocks posted:He has a lot in common with the self-help industry and even cult leaders in that regard, where the point seems to be to keep talking for hours using indirect language that forces people to work harder than they have to in figuring out what he's saying, lulling them into a kind of trance. He's dangerous because he's a reactionary and attracts the nazi teens and 30-somethings. I go with the simpler answer of pop academia being full of "I'm an expert on subject X; let me prove it with complicated stuff I know simply explained. Now let me explain subject Y which I have no background in, but LOOK HOW SMART I AM WITH SUBJECT X". I remember a prof making mad bank in funding by babbling computer science at psyc profs and psyc at computer science profs; if you knew both his theories had all been thrown out the window in the 1960's and 1970's but it sounds so cool and intuitive and deep. He was very briefly my supervisor and as soon as I realized what he was pulling I was NOPE and bailed for someone real.

That is 100% because Michaud, who has been known to specifically retain negative comments just to make a point to various producers, is eliminating the negative ones now to appear squeaky clean.

And it can be a tough and emotional thing for couples to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it’s often much harder on the woman than on the man. However, I also know that it doesn’t necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal. that has nothing to do with anything, I just wanted to post that.

http://oswreview.com/media/oswreview71/ Two of our favourite Irishmen and Maffew 7 hour Wrestlemania. Yes, 7 hours, it was as much a slog as you would expect EDIT: The story of Alberto El Patron in TNA is highly amusing since a) he initially came in and was getting a big push b) this push was derailed and he was suspended after being involved in a domestic dispute with his then girlfriend Paige c) he shows up to Bound for Glory coked up to his eyeballs d) he cuts an incredibly awkward interview where essentially he goes full Tommy Wiseau before confronting one of the announcers and demanding to know why he didn't stick up for him or call which may or may not be kayfabe because the guy is really high, sniffing and twitching. e) he eventually gets a main event program where he eats a steak menacingly at the world champ who eats a banana f) TNA runs a crosspromotional event on twitch with Lucha Underground where he is in the main event and has a pretaped segment setting up their upcoming PPV g) he noshows the main event but claims that he had a family emergency h) his family emergency involved snorting coke and photobombing interviews with other wrestlers at other events in New Orleans i) TNA fires him and nothing of value is lost Testekill fucked around with this message at 11:41 on May 6, 2018 |

Leal posted:Why. Not why is it awful, but why is gearbox in charge of it. This was 2002, mind you. Gearbox usually did expansion packs and ports during this time, and they had a good track record with Opposing Force under their belt, so it's understandable that they'd be the ones to port the game to PC. But using GoldSrc as your engine in 2002 just smacks of laziness.

Most of my issues with Gearbox stem from Randy being a total prick. When they have a passion for their project, the results are excellent. Hell's Highway, the Borderlands games, and Homeworld Remastered all have a great amount of effort put into them. And the hardcore guys who worked on Homeworld Remastered even went back to strongarm the Homeworld 2 engine into approximating the formations system of HW1 as best as they could. That's going above and beyond what you'd expect for a quick remaster job. But it is hard to look at the good bits of the company when the head of the place is a complete jackass.

The team involved in the remake later made the Rise of the Triad remake and Bombshell. Rereleasing Bulletstorm with a Duke Nukem DLC that is literally a model swap and voice lines with the DNF Duke model.
