sorry for getting political but gently caress my pet peeve is the clueless fash. Not the open neonazis, I hate them but hey at least they know what they are and know what they want. What I am so sick of is the generic white boy "rational" shitlords I have to deal with 15 times a day who openly espouse white supremacy and fascism but in a guise of "oho I'm just thinking and asking questions" and "wellllllll why is it that white people in the USA are richer than non-white people....." and "lol bruh it is just a meme" and "oh you are a self-hating jew" and "lol OF COURSE you think I'm one hood away from prancing down Broadway screaming 'death to all kikes and n-words,' you are all like that" e: wait the apolitical thread is the other one, but still.

When comedies have actors do terrible impressions of famous people and try to reinforce the gag by having the other characters saying the famous person's full name over and over. I watched Walk Hard last night, and the part with the Beatles was just awful. It felt like every sentence ended with "Paul McCartney from the Beatles" or "John Lennon from the Beatles". Its a bad joke! Stop thinking your audience is stupid, we'll understand they're the Beatles. Even if there is a person who doesn't, it still works as a send-up of 60's pop groups. Stop repeating their names!

I'll agree with this, but I think in the case of Walk Hard, that was probably part of the joke, as the rest of the movie is similarly over-the-top with its send-ups. Then again, I love that movie and think it's an underrated classic. Doctor Spaceman posted:Pet peeve: parents who dress their twins without a way to distinguish them. There was a family on my street growing up that did this for the first few years of the twins' lives. They also gave the twins alliterative names, too, which is something I find annoying.

Kombucha seems to me like one of those things that started out as a joke, or at best something people only drank out of necessity, and somehow it became a fad. How can anyone look at that weird puck floating on top and think "gonna drink the juices under there"? At least the egyptian mummy tomb juice had some history behind it, like maybe you'd absorb a ghost or something, but kombucha...no thanks.

That "nuts about the nats" song. I get it, I moved in to the unfortunate location where they are the local team, but is it really necessary to spam play that loving song on the morning radio 5-10 times in a row? That rear end in a top hat Elliot in the morning was giving out tickets and kept saying "again" and it was like some form of torture. It's one of those songs that is technically catchy but not because it's good. who even gets nuts about baseball anyway? Even when it's exciting and high scoring it still takes like 4-5 loving hours. Just win in 4 so I can go another year without having to hear about baseball, please.

I was dragged to a baseball game once for a friend's birthday, she said we didn't have to stick around for the whole thing so we didn't, it was so boring. I have several friends who love that sport but I can't understand why, there are no tense moments in the game the way you have with football when the ball approaches the goal and everyone goes all "oh poo poo".

Major League Baseball sucks. It's just not good. Minor League Baseball is awesome because they don't care. Hot dogs shot out of a t-shirt cannon, free bread night, getting rip roaring drunk in the parking lot. Minor League is how baseball should be.

The playoffs are pretty much entirely made of tense moments. Game 7 of the Cubs-Indians series was easily one of the most intense sports games I’ve ever watched. In the regular season you’re right though. When you’re playing 162 games it feels like nothing really matters. People advocate for the sport’s leisureliness as if it’s a good thing. It’s unwatchable on TV and the reason to go to a game is because it’s fun to hang out on a nice day, eat a hot dog and listen to the crack of a bat. I love even numbered years because you get big international soccer tournaments in the summer so I can get a sports fix that’s actually good.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Hockey is the only sport I watch that I can actually follow I like how there is built-in fighting that doesn't always end in suspensions/fines/bans. Just two guys awkwardly trying to get the other's jersey over his head so he can punch him freely until a ref wrangles him. Some players even let the fans get involved in the fun like Tie Domi did.

Baseball is great and you're all idiots. I get why it can seem boring but if you know what's going on it can be great. Watching a really good pitcher blow through a lineup is magical. Also the average game is like 3 hours not 4-5 lolLotion Tester posted:I'm in my 30s and still have no idea how baseball works because every time I ask what's going on people think it's hilarious to make up a bunch of Calvinball bullshit instead of explaining what just happened.

Watching a really good pitcher blow through a lineup is magical. Also the average game is like 3 hours not 4-5 lol Given the right circumstances any sport can be great. The problem is that baseball mostly is not. Most pitchers aren't great and even the great ones don't just blow through lineups every time they start. Even the greatest batters don't jack one out of the park at a significant enough rate to be worth tuning in to their games. It's mostly crap with occasional glory. Just watch the highlights on ESPN and you can follow along just fine.

It might look boring and yes, some teams just plain win because they got more money. But the sheer effort going into figuring out the conditions, when to switch tires, skill of the driver etc. makes it a lot cooler once you understand the groundwork.

I think it's less about knowing what is going on, and more about whether you care. Like I can appreciate how hard F1 racing is or baseball is, but I just don't care. I want to see more crashes and the ball going large distances and the score reaching large numbers.

I'm still waiting for MMA, american football, and larping to finally join together and give me my future favourite sport: organized mass combat. Just give me two teams of 12 wielding larp weapons and armour on a football field kicking the crap out of eachother with the goal of taking the other team's flag or whatever.

I would rather have it be based on points, speed, and skill rather than bashing the opponent with a sword.

You could make it exciting enough for the modern market with improved armor and I don't know, maybe tipping the lances with explosives or maybe electrified lances to taze them off the horse? Just an idea.

Outmatching the enemy team in 1v1s should be viable, but sucking 1v1 and having far better tactics and/or strategy should be viable too. That's why you need the layer of fighting over territory or flags or something for a larger goal.

AlphaKretin posted:"Fashion souls". From soft didn't invent the concept of armour changing your character model, not even close. Unless it's really different for Dark Souls that's... not what that means? Or at least I never interpreted it mean that. It's like Fashion Hunter (for Monster Hunter). It's not implying that Monster Hunter invented the concept of armor changing your character model, but rather it's means picking your armor for looks, rather than stats. I would assume the same is true of Fashion Souls, but I haven't played Dark Souls, so I don't know for sure.
