DuckOverload, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is your unpopular flim opinion

Last year’s DnD movie is the best film of the last ten or so years. It succeeded on every level, except in the box office.

My hypothesis is that Hasbro insisted on branding it “Dungeons & Dragons” to push the brand, and non-gamers figured it wasn’t for them. If they’d have made the main title “Honor among Thieves”, all the game nerds would have seen the DnD logo, and others wouldn’t have been turned off *. As it stands, people will find it and it’ll become the new “Starship Troopers” that bombed but shines forever in retrospect.

  • See “Arcane”.

Smarter Every Day. Used to be just some amateur prettyboy nerd just geeking out and getting behind the scenes on cool stuff. Then it seems like he run out of cool ideas and money got involved. Last episode I watched, he was hocking some obviously awful aquarium game that he was involved with.

Joe Rogan.

Since nobody else is saying it.

Better yet, offer to help them with their time management. That way, it’s a positive and friendly offer, not an overt criticism. And it jams in a little more condescension.

DuckOverload, to asklemmy in What movie should me and fiance watch tonight?

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

DuckOverload, (edited ) to asklemmy in What has been the best thing that has happened to you so far?

The woman I loved decided to give it a go. 13 years later, we’re a super happy family.

PS: also, being bi and resisting the social urge to “be true to myself” and go gay, assuming the straight part was obviously bullshit.

Oh shit. That stuff is probably delicious.

I once tasted some regular Cuervo gold my buddy brought to a cabin weekend. He was going to make margaritas (with HFCS mix) and I nabbed a pour to sip on. It was one of the best tequilas I’ve ever tasted. I couldn’t believe it was Cuervo, and then he told me that it was a bottle his Dad brought back from Mexico in the 80’s. Apparently that stuff was really good back in the day.

exorcise, btw.

DuckOverload, to asklemmy in Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?

Harry Mack. Greatest off-top freestyler ever (except maybe Juice WRLD, but that’s apples and oranges). Folks are sad about the end of Omegle Bars, but I’ve always thought Wordplay Wednesdays is his best format.

I took over my mom’s minivan during college. My frat bros made fun of me at first, but damn that was a great road trip vehicle.

Though on the whole, my current Subaru Outback might be my favorite because it came with a sweet sound system. I’ve never splurged on premium sound, and this was included because I wanted the towing capacity of the premium trim. Game changer.

A handle of tequila with cacao nibs added. I do infusions, and this was a failed experiment. Should have tried it in a mason jar.

Though it usually works out well. I have a bottle of premium Costco vodka with two anise stars and some simple syrup added. It’s like a homemade ouzo and delightfully sippable for $18 a handle. I also have slices of pear in another bottle, and it’s yummy. And a mason jar of bourbon with black peppercorns, which I like to splash into an Old Fashioned.

Hot tip: Buying flavored liquor is expensive and never as good as infusing it yourself.

I think he’s a good host for engaging and entertaining conversations, if you don’t take him seriously. The problem is he became hugely politically consequential, and he can’t decide if he’s just an everyday moron (ha ha) or a powerful voice with meaningful opinions.

It’s kind of a golden age for cinema, and especially for TV (episodic long format video). Good times!

DuckOverload, to asklemmy in What is your unpopular flim opinion

This wasn’t an art film… but it had an original plot, was genuinely unpredictable throughout, awesome, imaginative action sequences, epic high fantasy, great comedy (I laughed my ass off), and real emotional tenderness (well, I cried). Often weaving these together in the same scene. I think you have to judge a movie based on what it’s meant to be, and for a fun high fantasy jaunt, this was a monumental achievement. IMHO.
