    More games need in-universe pseudo-internets for players to browse like in Front Mission instead of weird codices that don't really go for an in-universe feel.

    I talk about freelancer too much but the manual was written as an LSF training manual, with notes from Edison Trent's old friend/foster father interspersed


    codices really should be improved upon, yeah. Something instead of being a non-immersive info dump.

    Most movie sword fights have way too goddamn much movement that's for true

    But slashing looks interesting.

    when is a big brothel scene justified

    That scene where littlefinger tells the whores to lick each other's butts and is explaining his plans was crucial

    i mean, i ain't trying to be a little brat. i get enough free porn that i don't need it from hbo and showtime. but i pretty much never ever hear anything good about sex scenes or even settings with a lot of sexual background (strip clubs etc). surely there's a good one or two?

    Usually it's done really poorly

    Like these people are trying to be authentic and real then they just do this weird pretend sex that's not connected to reality at all and ends after 15 seconds because they can't show anything graphic

    Like no one ever puts on a condom or asks about birth control or lubes up just rando unprotected sex

    Brothels are good when you're showing a character entering fatal decedance and depravity but usually it's just a stupid attempt to be edgy

    the sex needs to communicate something! It needs to have meaning. It usually does not

    Yeah, you can have super communicative sex

    But TV just

    doesn't

    I should rewatch When the Last Sword was Drawn.

    It is a really good samurai movie. It gets a little slow at times.

    Possible, if unlikely.

    It's the same reason sword fights are usually boring in movies

    Just highly coreographed dudes wailing on each other for way too long

    Compared to like, kill bill which has bloody sword fights and the battle with oren which was like 10 seconds of actual fighting and is tense and beautiful

    and it lasts eight minutes

    I actually counted just now

    the scene lasts 8:40 and there was 26 seconds of actual fighting and it is the best

    Low guard/fool/gedan is my favorite

    So fast

    Harder to guard from but so easy to counter using your opponent's own momentum.

    that scene with oren is what I first watched after I got my tv calibrated a bunch of years ago

    gorgeousness and gorgeosity

    Man it is really hard not to stereotype people sometimes

    I've edited about half a dozen papers written by Italian scientists now, and they have without exception been sweeping, rapturous, barely technical descriptions of the beautiful poetry of whatever discipline they're in. This one is about thermography and I feel like this man wants to fuck his thermograph.

    Probably some other buildings alarm, though my work has battery back ups that when they start to go make a horrible beeping sound that can be hard to determine the origin.

    It's been going for like three weeks so I hope it is not an alarm

    Also we're in a suburb so it's basically all houses I think?

    Could be a home alarm? If you describe the beep @Thomamelas can tell you the exact make and model and how to shut it off with a piece of gum.

    It's a short high pitched beep every 4 seconds

    For weeks
