Gripweed posted:"The Fourth of July" is the name of the holiday. If we're going to get pedantic, shouldn't that be "Independence Day"? "The Fourth of July" is a colloquialism. And the fact that "colloquial" means "used in ordinary or familiar conversation; not formal or literary" is kind of telling. aardwolf has a new favorite as of 23:15 on Jan 23, 2019 |

Tiggum posted:Nah, even a small piece of white chocolate is greasy and overly sweet. It's a garbage lolly for picky children. If I'm comfortable eating something you aren't, how exactly does that make me "picky"? Shouldn't that logically refer to you, the random-type-of-chocolate hater?

Tiggum posted:White chocolate isn't disgusting or inedible or anything, it's just fat and sugar; chocolate with the flavour removed. Picky children don't like the component of the chocolate that makes it taste of anything other than sweet so you take that out and you're left with something that, whether or not it's "real chocolate", doesn't taste of chocolate and isn't worth eating. Why do you assume that liking white chocolate means I have to hate dark chocolate? I went and checked with the Dungeon Master and he confirmed that it's actually okay to like multiple things! I get that it might be unconventional, but I'm not breaking a rule or anything. Please be more understanding of my build

veni veni veni posted:Everyone who craps on VR is so incredibly short sighted I don’t even know where to begin. It’s like watching people talk about how cell phones will never catch on. Get back to me in five years and tell me it was a fad. Do you remember hearing people talk about how AR glasses wouldn't catch on five years ago? And then it turned out holy poo poo we were right and it was a stupid expensive fad without much value to the average consumer At the moment VR can work really well... so long as it's in the very specific scenario where both you and your virtual avatar are sitting down in some sort of race car or cockpit with predefined controls. As soon as people start moving around and trying to interact with a dynamic virtual environment things fall to poo poo and the discrepancy between the real and virtual worlds gets jarring very quickly. I don't think anyone is claiming VR will "never" be useful because hey, you're right - that's indeed pretty short-sighted - but it's sure as gently caress got some pretty serious unsolved problems at the moment for anything beyond Elite: Dangerous. aardwolf has a new favorite as of 10:05 on Jun 30, 2019 |

Does Quantum Leap have a good theme? Does "doo doo da-woo doo doo da-woo dah dah doo dah dah daah dit daah" capture the essential spirit and emotion of the show? Well, okay, yes but they clearly just kind of got lucky there. ... I think we can all agree that every show should have a Gilligan's Island style jaunty tune that clearly establishes the characters and premise. Especially any show that deals with aliens, house renovation or a special victims unit.

yeah I eat rear end posted:The Gunslinger is a good start but not great. In a vacuum it's bad. There is very little conflict, no resolution. Roland straight up slaughters every man, woman and child in Tull - and then quite deliberately allows the new kid he adopted to drop to his death rather than be delayed in pursuit of vengeance. The conflict in the book is a moral one between Roland's character and the reader's. Also I'll have a Big Mac and fries, please. aardwolf has a new favorite as of 07:05 on Dec 20, 2019 |

yeah I eat rear end posted:Well I mean, if the men, women and children are trying to kill you...what are you supposed to do, not kill them all? It's quite conclusively shown that Roland is an incredible shot. Do you honestly believe he couldn't have gone for disabling wounds on the kiddies? Why did he need to kill them? What was he afraid of? Was that prepubescent child who gave him directions to the "cafe" at Sheb's gonna bleed on him? The whole point of that scene is that The Gunslinger is a horrific emotionless robot who very quickly defaults to the only one solution to a problem he knows / understands / trusts and I don't think you are supposed to be sympathizing with him at this point in the narrative

Ugly In The Morning posted:Disabling wounds... in a place that without actual medical knowledge? That would just be a crueler, slower death anyway. While I get that the "doctors" from the Little Sisters of Eluria aren't common, that story proves the world has the concept of practical and effective medicine. Roland has presumably been trained on how to properly treat bullet wounds as that's a gunslinger's biggest occupational hazard. Cauterizing wounds with gunpowder and disinfecting them with whisky are old cowboy tropes that Not-Clint-Eastwood would probably know. ... and I've just spent way to much time thinking about medicine in a fictional world I first encountered when I was ten.
