Vent thread

Huge forest fires razing my beautiful valley- lots of smoke, ashes and stuff that have been blocking part of the sun and causing us problems to breathe.  

 
This is a satellital pic of the continent. Part of a town was already consumed by the fire.

@Anonycat  
Shit, that’s terrible.
 
Times like these remind me to invest in gas masks.

@Anonycat  
Damn man…

@PonyPon  
The city suspended all work activities except the most indispensable ones and is advising people to stay indoors with closed windows, while all firemen and brigadists are exausted but still cannot take a break.
 

 

 
 
Now THIS is venting material.

Ice Age: Collision Course and The Angry Birds Movie are on the short list for an Oscar. What the fuck.
 
But at least Zootopia and Finding Dory made it.

I appreciate that this seems really petty next to Anonycat’s issues, but fucking hell i hope this travesty of a Powe Rangers movie bombs so hard it kills Lion’s Gate and Saban, like completely, as in both have to liquidate all their assets and shut down,

@Thanotos Omega  
Jesus Christ! Isn’t that a little harsh?

@TheHappySpaceman  
It is a literal insult to the art of Adaptation, not since Maleficent have i seen such a pathetic failure to adapt a classic into a more modern setting, and those involved deserve to loose their careers for this abomination, especially Lion’s Gate,

@Thanotos Omega  
…what the hell are you on about?

@toxicrystal  
Apparently the movie of something called “Powe Rangers.”
 
@Thanotos Omega  
So you think people deserve to lose their careers because you didn’t personally care for a piece of media they were involved with? You’re right, that does seem rather petty.

@toxicrystal  
Power rangers Movie is an absolute failure at adaptation, Rita is dangerous, this is true, but’s she is not scary, she is not cool, she’s a hyper powered woman child, and if you can’t manage to make a 6 and a half foot winged black Lion in armor with a sword look badass, by the time you are able to be called a professional, then there is no hope for you as an artist,

@Thanotos Omega  
It’s a failure because they want the villain to be more of a villain? Really?
 
You want to talk about an insult of an adaptation, let’s talk about The Last Airbender. Or maybe Prince of Persia. Or how about Resident Evil, which at this point is such a bad adaptation that it has just about nothing to do with its source material.
 
But no, let’s go after a movie because they want to rework a character.

@toxicrystal  
Also, in my opinion, either way, wishing bankruptcy and poverty on the company that makes it is harsh.

@toxicrystal  
Last Airbender gave Aang His Tattoos it Gave Zuko his Scar, and left them recognizable as characters, it was a crap movie, same goes for Resident Evil, at least the Licker looked like and acted like a Licker, Rita and Goldar are iconic villains, and people love them just as much if not more so than the rangers, this would be like making a Batman movie and having Twoface just wearing a mask and being a generic mobster and Croc just being a dude with some tattoos and sharpened teeth who raps,

@Thanotos Omega  
OH MAN AT LEAST THE LICKER LOOKS LIKE ITSELF  
FORGET THE REST OF THE SERIES, AT LEAST THE LICKER’S FINE!

@toxicrystal  
Really outside of Alice and Nemesis, the first 2 were fine, i don’t follow it, and you ignored my other points ins a rather blatant attempt to avoid an actual debate in favor of mockery,

Trying to play Dark Souls 3 with a laggy computer is hard as fuck.

@HJSDGCE  
I went fucking insane when my only computer was a Windows XP dinosaur circa 2003.

@HJSDGCE  
I wish I could get the appeal of those games.

@Corrderio  
I agree.  
I bought bloodborne, yet i seem to be stuck in a single boss for the rest of my walkthrough. It’s just plain impossible to beat him without hundreds of health potions and ammunition.

@Corrderio
 
@BadgingBadger
 
never played the games but I keep encountering that it’s a callback to the old days where good games are games based on how hard they are (not how much fun they are to play).

@OptimusPrimevil  
I guess. Though to me it doesn’t feel like it gets progressively harder as much as it throws the chaos your way about 15 minutes in.

@Corrderio
 
If I remember correctly what I learned in one single class of game design, if you make the game too easy it will bore some poeple, if you make it too hard it will frustrate some people. Hard games are targeted to people that get more bored by an easy game than frustrated by a hard one (i.e. like taking challenges, or don’t like playing something that they are sure they will win).

@arcanedarness  
if i may add, some games seem to dip into too easy/too hard territory based on your game style.
 
mostly it revolves around this
 
“did you beat it without continuing?”

@warc9  
Relevant.
