I assume it’s more of a generic internet atheist “religion bad” sort of critique

They call themselves proud boys and yet they’re ashamed to show their faces
This implies the CIA disinfo was some kind of oopsie
The reason they’re turning random footnotes into movies or making up their own OCs like in the Amazon show is because they only have the LOTR trilogy and its appendices to work off of. The Tolkien estate made sure to keep the rights to Silmarillion, etc off limits
To be fair, the Amazon show is an entirely separate adaptation and has no relation to the Jacksonverse.
I would assume Warner Brothers would fuck him up in a different way. Judging from the quality of the writing in the Hobbit trilogy I would assume they’d turn Tom Bombadil into a stoner stereotype who also farts constantly or something
I love Ian McKellen as Gandalf but he was already noticeably older in the Hobbit movies. I can’t even imagine how distracting it would be in this train wreck since he’d be about as ancient as Christopher Lee was in his Hobbit cameo
This takes place during the 17-year time skip between Bilbo’s birthday party and when Frodo returns home to discover an agitated Gandalf in his home asking if the Ring’s safe. What, you didn’t think it felt like Gandalf going to read that diary in Gondor took 17 years??? Yeah, the movies kinda streamlined and simplified that part.
It’s wild they’re retroactively adding shit they just completely excised from the original film adaptations. What’s next, a side movie about the Hobbits encountering the barrow wights and Tom Bombadil before they reach Bree? A movie about the Scouring of the Shire?
“qld” means this was probably in Australia
Isn’t she a cop that works for Interpol or something
If you want to get into Resident Evil and want to start from the beginning, the HD remaster of the Gamecube remake of Resident Evil 1 is on Steam.
It is often considered one of the greatest remakes of all time and widely thought to surpass the original while preserving everything that made the original great (with the exception of the cheesy FMV cutscenes and dialogue. The remade dialogue is still cheesy but not nearly as funny) unlike the 2/3 remakes that change the games completely.
Technically Resident Evil 0, the HD remaster of which is also on Steam, is the actual beginning of the story in terms of the series’ timeline but I would not recommend it to a newcomer. Consider it advanced studies to come back to later.
The only main games which do not have modern PC ports on current storefronts are 2, 3 and Code Veronica and there are multiple ways to experience each on PC.
I grew up with the PS1 so I tend to just emulate those versions for 2 and 3, which is honestly rather painless with Duckstation, but there are plenty of other ways. You could also emulate the Dreamcast or Gamecube ports of said games, and I believe the GC version has a mod for HD backgrounds.There’s also the Classic Rebirth Patches for the Japanese-only PC ports which can be found floating about online.
As for CV, you have the original Dreamcast version and the Code Veronica X port for PS2 and the later HD ports of CVX for Xbox 360 and PS3. All four can be emulated, though IIRC there’s issues with emulating the 360 version. Also some people are not fans of the changed lighting in the HD remake in general. I just emulate the PS2 version with PCSX2
Are these compatible with the randomisers, Classic Rebirth Patches and other mods people have made over the years or do you still need to track down the old Japanese SourceNext ports?
Edit: Just checked and these are just the old US PC versions made to work with modern systems. That means no mods and that for the best experience you’ll still need to pirate the Japanese PC ports
I saw a glow-worm some years ago. I thought someone had dropped a glowstick until I took a closer look
Definitely not too common in Finland
This has been all over Finnish news lately and my boomer relatives are going apopleptic about it. There is a huge surge of immigrants through the Eastern border currently, and I think the part where Russia comes in is that Russia is supposedly fast-tracking all immigrants that arrive within its borders visas and sending them to the Finnish border
Maybe the vietnamese are yellow, uncivilized, non-blonde hair, Non-blue eyes Savages. while finns are wholesome civilized against evil mongol hordes /s
Funnily enough, plenty of Nazis think Finnish people are too Asiatic to be considered white, just ask Varg Vikernes
You only had to do that once? In the initial phase I just couldn’t get rid of the pop-ups for longer than one session
What was the last time?
They also prohibited a demonstration by the progressive Jewish group Jüdische Stimme.
Explaining their reasoning on the Jüdische Stimme protest, the police told The New York Times that the demonstration was “explicitly open to participants of Palestinian origin,” and said organizers coordinated with protesters whose demonstrations were banned over concerns about antisemitic incitement.
Are these newer movies really that much worse in general or has the audience just finally gotten tired of the entire MCU? I saw every single one up until the second Spider-Man flick and many of them were just sort of lame. Movies like Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and Black Panther and the Ant-Man movies which all released in the MCU’s most dominant period leading up to and in between the Thanos movies were pretty bad and they still made a lot of bank.
I watched all those mid movies because I was invested in the shared continuity and wanted to see the different branches of the universe collide with each other. When they finally did, that investment just kind of dissipated, but I think the final nail in the coffin for me was when they announced the Disney+ Marvel shows at which point it just became too much of a time commitment to keep up with.
