i am guilty of this and i am sorry but i wanted that orisa skin real bad and sombra the most surefire way to win matches

this thread is what google brought me

this is gonna sound arrogant as hell but i’m having the same issue and lately at this level i feel like it’s usually my team’s fault. it’s annoying seeing people stagger the push and try and take on the whole team, not have good positioning, not have good team comps, etc.

if support isn’t doing their job we can’t make progress bc as dps i can’t get elims and am forced to just peek and at best hold the line. if tank keep pushing solo then our formation crumbles and we get picked off.

i feel like at silver/gold level 50% of the time you get a team that thinks about these things and the other 50% you get morons pushing solo or support trying to play like dps

like another commenter was saying it’s not elims or damage pts that are the mark of a good player but good timing and team dynamics… often that doesn’t translate to the scoreboard (for example if you crush in one big push your damage/heals will be low), and similarly if your team is doing bad it’s much more difficult to magically have high elims and carry the team.

in other fps games you might be able to carry if you’re a power player but in overwatch success is so dependent on team cooperation

i hate this fucking TV it is constantly not working, in need of an update, unable to connect to the server to get an update, and trying to shove bloatware down my throat with every update.

fuck you LG you dumb mother fuckers. your UI is insidious and convoluted and your service is broken.

god i miss fucking DVD players

lol

exactly, the show’s over. who gives a shit

go to Calarts! (am a ringling alum)

wait why

I mean agree to disagree; I’m of the opinion that his character is full of shit, but yes the larger point the show is trying to make is the blurred line between fact and fiction, and how the layers of lies over possible truth corrupt the whole narrative. Erik is by the end a very unreliable narrator, and where we draw the line between truth and fantasy is up to the viewer.

This is best demonstrated by the way the show does flashbacks. At the beginning of the series every flashback of Jose is as an angry abusive tyrant, and as the viewer you believe this is a true retelling. But then you have the penis inspection scene with Erik’s mom… shot exactly like every other flashback until that point. Did that actually happen or is that just part of Erik’s story? When Erik’s mom talks of being afraid of Lyle in those flashbacks Lyle is screaming in her face. By the end of the series in their retelling of the murder their parents are waiting behind the TV den doors with guns drawn… The show makes a point that itself is an unreliable narrator. Every flashback colored by the person telling the story.

So yes the depth of insight Erik shows into incest and trauma is surprisingly vast, which is what makes it such a compelling story at first. The world (in the show) responds to their story saying, wow that’s unbelievable! what an incredible trauma you went through…. to by the end saying, wow that’s… unbelievable. what an incredible trauma you say you went through.

Again, personally I felt like the kids are full of shit. And the real crime, as the prosecutor says in the last episode, is weaponizing the trauma and stories of other SA victims to at best embellish and at worst wholly fabricate their motive.

I feel for the people describing how The Hurt Man episode resonated with them, and felt true to their own abuse or abuse of their loved ones.

I will say, however, it is surprising to me that people are taking it at face value. It feels clear to me that the intention of the scene was to have Erik’s story start to unravel, and to prod the viewer into questioning its truthfulness.

What starts as a harrowing tale of abuse by the end feels like fantasy. Erik becomes more and more carried away with his own imagination, feeding off his lawyer’s sympathy and encouragement as confidence that the details of his abuse could be believed even as they stretch further from the bounds of credulity. First his father abused him, then by the end his mother is also in on it, doing penis inspections to check for AIDS. Faltering on details like when the abuse started and for how long, and how frequently. “so your father raped you hundreds of times?” “…yes”

Most telling was watching Erik become increasingly agitated whenever Leslie begins to talk about her own father, interrupting her and bringing the focus back to himself, obviously pleased to hear himself talk before settling back into the pathetic affect of a little boy, recycling “it was bad” and “i didn’t like that” like catchphrases whenever he found himself at a loss for description.

Incredible scene, incredible performance, it takes an exceptional writing to write bad writing, and exceptional acting to convincingly perform bad acting.

you should watch watch Life (2018 or whatever, the one with Jake Gyllenhal)

i like Industry, I do. But it’s not even in the same league.

Season 3 especially has stopped trying to be subtle. What felt like started as a resonant take on toxic work culture and profit-over-all old guard warfare has devolved into one liner girl-boss hashtag gotcha dialogue, all style and no whiff of substance. When Rob told Henry off after the court scene, “you just abuse your power and don’t care who it hurts” (paraphrasing), it felt like there shouldve been a giphy logo in the corner under a tweet that says #istandwithher.

The acting is quite good imo i think but yeah the writing is quickly running out of tarmac.

for real… this guy should not procreate

read my post

I don't disagree!

What

what the fuck happened to this show

no

Hawk Tuah for president

seconded except with the caveat that too smooth of concrete sucks ass, especially for a street-focused park. you slip and slide everywhere and tbh it’s more dangerous imo.

it’s especially a problem in CA where you get a fine layer of dust over everything greatly compounding the issue. there’s one company that did a bunch of parks like that out here and they’re designed so well but are borderline unskateable unless you have very soft wheels

they’ve been doing such a fantastic job with the wide cgi establishing shots this season. love to see that concept art at work

GoT didn’t have as much of a vfx budget until the middle/end; glad to see it being prioritized more in this show

cut to the latest episode where they fully show a blowjob lmao
