I always thank the first few enemies for their service. It’s through their sacrifice we learn.

The first one almost never gets to kill anyone. Except that goddamn goomba fuck that guy.

exocrinous,

In Deathloop you get to kill the first enemy lots of times

I started playing that game, but I get nauseous when playing some games as I get older, and something about that game triggers it hard.

If I had a pc that could handle it, I’d try it on that. Usually I can disable motion blur and DoF things that make it worse. Camera Bob is super bad, but iirc deathloop didn’t have much.

I almost feel bad for that guy.

Sky, in It's a giant ego booster

This was a sculpture of David going to fight Goliath, and so it was small because he was scared. At least, that’s what I’ve always heard.

Perfide,

It was because back then they thought the bigger the dick you had, the stupider you were.

Twinklebreeze, in Friends

Do people make friends on Facebook? I thought Facebook was the place old people went to learn new ways to be racist.

Kusimulkku,

I don’t know about new friends but more connect with your current ones

That’s just not fair, it’s also the place old people go to get their news propaganda.

    But so was reddit. And Google used to be way less evil. I guess I don’t really have a point. Just remembering when websites didn’t suck.

    I’m glad to hear zombo resisted enshittification

    Jorgelino,

    Even during its peak, the only real use i got out of facebook was being reminded of people’s birthdays. Now i just ignore them all, it’s much easier that way.

    Hey! Some of us are not that old!

    letsgo,

    Yeah but when you’re young and stupid you have this idea that some slightly less young people are “old”. I remember when I was young and stupid thinking someone who was 18 was “old”.

    The thing to look forward to is when these kids’ music starts getting played on “golden oldies” radio channels.

    No way! They also re-learn old ways to be racist too. :-P

    A mafia/comedy mix.

    The Pizzaiolo: from dough to death

    He was once the most feared hitman in the mafia, known for his creative kills based on the victims’ jobs. He could make a lawyer choke on his own words, a banker drown in his money, or a doctor die of a heart attack. But he had a change of heart and left his life of crime behind. He opened a pizzeria and took care of his orphaned niece, hoping to start anew. But his past came back to haunt him one day near Christmas, when his former boss sent his goons to kidnap his niece and kill him. Now he has to use his skills and his wits to save his niece and himself, and to end his boss’s reign of terror. But all he can think of now is related to pizzas. Will he be able to slice his way out of this mess?

    The reason he can’t remember much and lack creativity is because he suffers from early stages of alzheimer.

    The second movie is a prequel titled :

    The Pizzaiolo 2: from death to dough.

    The problem is in the “look forward to.” How depressing to get a globe and recognize a memory from your past. You wouldn’t even have that to look forward to.

    ApathyTree,
    @ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    This did specifically say “happiest moment yet to come”, so no worry of it already being past.

    Would, however, suck nuts to see receiving the snow globe in the globe. Or something that happens a week later or something.

    CarbonIceDragon, in Charles Dickens Watches "The Muppet Christmas Carol" [R. E. Parrish]
    @CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social avatar

    I mean, he might have liked it, it’s not a bad movie and it’s not a terrible adaptation of the story either. Probably would have to first explain the context of what the muppets are and a bit about the various characters to really get some of it though

    palordrolap,

    J. Draper, London historian and, from what I gather, popular TikToker and YouTuber, has an interesting hour-long video comparing the Muppet version to the original as well as the various things that wouldn't necessarily be covered in the original, like costumes and how London looked. It's not quite a watch-along, but it does cover things in movie order.

    Watch here

    If you're of short attention span (not judging, I'm in the same boat), put in on in the background while doing something else.

    proudblond,

    I just watched this last night! Her takeaway is that is pretty good overall. Most of the costuming is pretty spot-on, even the muppets’, and she makes concessions for some of the things that aren’t true to the book since it’s ostensibly a kids movie and there is stuff that just wouldn’t make sense. A lot of the script is pulled directly from the book. Her big critique is about Scrooge’s childhood but she even finds a possible reason they decided to change that too. It’s really quite interesting! Also, as an American, I find it absolutely hilarious that she can’t comprehend that Americans don’t know what a Christmas pudding is. To us, pudding means something completely different!

    palordrolap,

    She doesn't point out why the extra Marley might have been given the name Robert [1] (or maybe I missed a subtle raised eyebrow somewhere), nor did she show the shop front entitled Micklewhite's [2], but I don't suppose those fun facts are particularly relevant to a comparison / review.

    [1] Bob Marley. Geddit? Funny joke is funny.

    [2] Michael Caine's birth name was Maurice Micklewhite. He only made the legal change to his stage name fairly recently, well after the Muppet Christmas Carol even, because he found that people were confused and made suspicious by his documents not having "his name" on them when he was travelling.

    proudblond,

    Ooooh I didn’t catch the Marley joke, brilliant. And I didn’t know that about Michael Caine! Great insights!

    WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

    Not many people know that.

    AngryCommieKender,

    It’s the only adaptation that has Dickens himself portrayed. Admittedly I don’t think Gonzo is an accurate depiction, other than the clothes, but it did allow them to put far more of the actual text of the book into the movie than any other adaptation, because they had a narrator.

    fpslem,

    Puppets have been used in comedy and cultural commentary since Punch & Judy and before. Dickens would have dug it.

    AngryCommieKender,

    Punch and Judy appear in the background of at least one of the opening scenes of The Muppet Christmas Carol

    CarbonIceDragon,
    @CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social avatar

    I meant more the context of the individual characters. Like, having Statler and Waldorf as Marley is funnier if you know who those two are

    TheMongoose,

    Also he'd need to know who Bob Marley was in order get the Jacob and Robert gag...

    fsxylo, (edited )

    I think you’d have to explain tv first.

    AngryCommieKender, (edited )

    “You’ve been to the theater, now you can have the theater in your living room.”

    Done.

    Shakespeare predates Dickens by a couple centuries, and the ancient Greeks predate him by a couple millenia.

    glimse, in ‘THE SLICER’ [OC]

    Despite being about literal murder, this is significantly less horrifying than your Christmas series lol

    Not an insult btw just an observation

    CustardFist,
    @CustardFist@feddit.nl avatar

    Haha. Thanks anyway. :ط
    I wanted to make a comic series to destroy the false sentiments of the frickin’ holiday season, but it nearly destroyed me. ะเ

    glimse,

    Your unraveling was notable and hilarious as the series went on

    Glad you enjoyed it, but I’m not gonna do something like this again any time soon. ะȷ

    pete_the_cat, in Cialis [Mr Lovenstein]

    I read the title quickly and thought it said Calais and was slightly confused lol

    Guntrigger,

    If you remove the palm tree the rest is pretty accurate.

    ImFresh3x, in Cialis [Mr Lovenstein]

    I recently took cialis recreationally (no ED) on weekend get away with my SO. I gotta say it was actually pretty fucking cool. I’m usually pretty pill adverse. But ya, I’d do it again.

    Mrderisant,

    I’m thinking about getting something like that. No ed just unreliable

    Anticorp,

    What’s the benefit if you don’t have ED?

    My friend with no ED said he took a Viagra and it burst the skin of his penis. No fucking thank you on that, man!

    Jimmycakes,

    It’s what the dick craves

    StupidBrotherInLaw, (edited )

    Your friend either hasn’t told you the entire story or is lying. Viagra, Cialis, and other ED meds won’t cause your penis to burst - human blood pressure is insufficient to pop a penis like a balloon. What may have happened is a penile fracture, where the outer sheath of erectile tissue tears in response to physical injury. Typical drivers of penile fracture are situations that cause the erect penis to bend forcefully, such as falling on an erection.

    Taking ED meds without ED will just result in a very firm erection that will likely persist awhile after ejaculation.

    DudeDudenson,

    Wouldn’t it be possible to tear the foreskin if you’re uncut and have a severe case of phimosis?

    doctorn, (edited )
    @doctorn@r.nf avatar

    I would disagree as I have torn my skin without meds once even. I did not burst any bloodvessils, but at one point in my life it kinda went harder than ever before, rupturing my outer skin on the shaft and on the gland… It was no fun sight as it healed while peeling.

    If that can happen without any meds, I can surely believe it can on.

    I am circumcised btw.

    Jyrdano,

    Might be due to too tight circumcision tbh.

    doctorn,
    @doctorn@r.nf avatar

    Well, not sure what you mean by that, but I think that wouldn’t rip the whole shaft’s skin, nor the exposed gland…

    I shedded like a snake… 😅

    AeroLemming,

    That shit should be illegal. It’s insane that people are still allowed to do that to people who don’t absolutely medically require it.

    After Facebook forced me to choose between targeted ads and a fee 2 x that of Netflix i don’t even bother logging in

    macrocephalic,

    Huh? I don’t recall there ever being a subscription for FB. I also use social fixer extension which helps

    cosmicrookie, (edited )
    @cosmicrookie@lemmy.world avatar

    In November Facebook started rolling out ad-free subscriptions. Before that you could set it to show ads that were not targeted. But after November this was no longer an option (in EU). You now have to accept targeted ads or pay for an ad-free subscription per account across Facebook and Instagram.

    The link bellow is meta’s own description but they don’t mention that they no longer support untargeted ads like they used to
