discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[Silwith]

Tolkien was good at lore and world crafting but his literary writing skills were pretty lacking.

Yeah, well, tbh, I am not versed enough to know if his style and skills were good or bad or what was common in the 30s and 40s when he wrote them. I read them in 2006/07 I think and just thought that his writing was really lacking and not engaging *shrug*
Doesn't subtract from the fact the world building and all is great and that LotR is a fantasy classic of course

Well I don't really care about all of that on a personal level, is more of a general dissatisfaction with the way some "Products" are being handled today, but that's more of a personal point of view.

What I'm really against is that they try to make us like something, and if we don't then we're are homophobic or whatever, take for example what you said about the little mermaid, why do they made the mermaid black?, and I'm talking about a logical and justifiable reason about it, as the original book was based on a white woman with red hair, made by a Danish autor on a country that doesn't normally have black people being born on it, if the wanted to make movie about a black mermaid why the didn't made a new movie not related to the little mermaid?.

Disclaimer = I'm an evil, old, psychopathic fuck. So, modern day cancel culture buzzword shaming doesn't mean a FLYING FUCK to me.

That said, even I got the point. A lot of stories were told when there was a predominance of old, cis, het, white males as characters, with young, cis, het, white, females at supporting characters. Now, they're just changing demographics for financial reasons. It's always the $. No more. No less.

If the mighty God (DOLLAR) said 1950s dance numbers with an all white cast brought in the dough... that's what we'd be getting.
Either way, though, fuck both sides for telling me what to think, say or do... and using 1984 as a how-to-book.

Until they make a series of movies and TV shows about MY chosen demographic: MURDERHOBOS as PROTAGONISTS in a POSITIVE LIGHT... I couldn't care less either way.

BONUS POINTS if you know about murderhobos without looking it up.

That's a much nicer way of saying it than what I said.

Rutger Hauer is "Hobo with a Shotgun"

Just switched phone companies and I feel like Verizon sent all the campaigns my number and told them to start sending everything.
I used to get 2-5 per week. Now I'm getting at least 2 per day.

Really? I haven't received a single campaign call. I wonder if that's because I put my number on the federal no call list that was offered a long time ago. Although I know my parents put their numbers on it and my mom says she receives automated calls from one of our senators. She had dealings with his office in the past so I figured she received them because she was on some kind of constituent info list.

 

[barbarella2021]

We were talking about the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Oh my bad!! Sorry, that's what I get for jumping in sometimes. I retraced my steps and it seems I misread a Hobbit post that kikomascado made prior to your discussion and I got the wrong trilogy in my head. Mea culpa.

That said -if I can try for a redemption shot- I concur with you. Definitely watch the LOTR Extended Trilogy!! I might enjoy reading 30 pages on Ents singing the names of animals, but if you don't those movies are a great way to go

But since I love cartoons so much, just think about... The Best of 1978!

 

[LUVGAMZ23]

Rutger Hauer is "Hobo with a Shotgun"
Give me mah points!

That would be 75 MH (murderhobo) points. His age at death.
PLUS... 11 bonus MH points (because it was in 2011) for a Hobo with a Shotgun reference.
Total points = 86 MH.

Plus congratulations for being a person of culture. (there's no bow as in /bowing emoticon that I could find... so this is all I got...)

Was Tolkien the truly pioneer of this type of fantasy? Or he is just the one that popularized it?

The Hobbit I read it before watching the movies, but both were kinda meh. However I know that Hobbit is very different from LotR, so I wanted to experience it. Watching the movies first is winning. Hahaha

Don't make fun of Ono Michio. He might come for you

I'm sorry. I can't help it if he looks like the mascot for the Special Olympics.

But @conzibald is supposed to be the owner of holes, CAUSING splooshes, not doing the splooshing...

Is that something he does often to people?

Sometimes he likes to do a little bit of both and the first rule of Conzi "splooshing" is you don't talk about Conzi "splooshing"...
You ass, I (literally) DL'd this gif about a week ago...
(Love me some Anna Faris...)

I tried a couple things, but has to add a second version of the face, hide the original and do it that way.
Then, I closed the page, so you don't get to see the gif. Here is part:

Yeah, but I just tried "flipping" it. It give you the option to "flip", but apparently you can't... What if you do half the gif and save and then use your edited one then reverse the image for the frames that don't have it?

Dual purpose costume!

Ngl, I tried to find those on eBay. I wanted to add them to my collection of "wrong" things...

My mom used to get Victoria's Secret Catalogs and take them from the house, so we couldn't get to them!

Maybe she heard about your game of "lookie-lookie" from your (3 year) older sister after all... Hmmm

Meet me after class, baby princess 3d paradise 0, hybrid x heart and ladies versus butlers all have a fair amount of nudity in them since I know that's what you're looking for lol

Who really pays for TV anymore? I figure at this point they get my money at the amusement parks or on steam buying video games (because DRM has been a real bitch lately)

Just straight internet these days. TV is crap. Streaming is crap.

Oh, I never answer calls from numbers I don't recognize anymore. However, i have gotten 6 suspected spam calls in one week.
I get at least 2 TEXTS per day right now. And because I just switched to a new carrier, I have to start blocking all the number again. Which is stupid, why is that?
I did put my number on the do not call list all those years ago, but I've had the same phone number for 25 years now, so it's unavoidable.

That's okay! The hobbit trilogy is subpar for sure.
Also, I always thought of the Ents as cowardly or stupid in the books. They were ass-kickers in the movies.
Cartoon Bilbo is a goofy looking little shit, though!

HAHAHA. Gotta get those MurderHobo points up!
That movie was like a fever dream. I watched it coming down from a mushroom trip and would not recommend anyone do the same.

 

[nvflqop077]

It's getting to the point that I might stop my streaming subscriptions and go back to TV. It's getting ridiculous with the exclusive content now that all the channels have made their own streaming service, and taken their shows off of the original services.

But also, yeah the LOTR movies are just good stuff, and totally worth the like 20 hour commitment to see.

 

[kikomascado]

You're very lucky. There are single days that I get 10+ spam calls.
Here in Brazil we do have a no call list, but companies don't care about it and the authorities don't do shit.
You just have to suck it up.

 

[barbarella2021]

Was Tolkien the truly pioneer of this type of fantasy? Or he is just the one that popularized it?

I don't believe he was the first to write high fantasy or to world build. The Worm Ouroboros predated him by a good amount. But I don't thank anyone took it to that extent. And it's still hard to come close. I feel like authors like Terry Brooks, Martin, Jordan all try and have created great things, but Tolkien's still up there. We never had Orcs before him and I feel like that's a D&D staple to be sure.

But even more than that, the stories and songs and poems about older heroes that they sing in the LOTR actual refer back to an actual, mostly coherent history that he created. Also, when he had characters speak in another language, they weren't just made up words or phrases, he actually created real languages for his characters to use. Doesn't mean that we have to enjoy his style if we like fantasy any more than we have to enjoy the Godfather if we like mob movies, but he was really one of the greats for fantasy. Like Heinlein for science fiction.

I've read somewhere that he create the elven language, and then created this world to go along with it, not the other way around. That's really wild.
He was a expert in linguistics, after all.

Mine come in waves. I'll get nothing for a week or so, and then like 5 calls and texts a day each for 2-3 days... like who answers calls from unknown numbers these days? That's just a waste of everyone's time.

Same here about unrecognized numbers but I haven't received one of those in over a month. It's completely ridiculous that people are inundated with political phone calls and text messages, to me that's equivalent to harassment. Then people wonder why voter apathy is on the rise again (not the main thing but a contributing factor).

i have a appointment at the dentist tomorrow and well that's just a pain in the ass

hey blood, i dont think thats how dentistry works, as conzi pointed out.... our there were some clues you were pointing with your art...
perhaps you have teeth in your ass? idk man, are you a human being or being human?
jk love u bro

You gotta go copyright free?
What's your v-tuber name? C'mon, you can tell us.

i am actually <insert some famous vtuber name> in disguise!
nah bro im just tired of listening to mainstream, not to say i dont listen at all, but less

If your gonna be here for the long haul better to do it asap. After a while it's
tougher for us to let go......Trust me, this was proved recently *cough cough*
@Underlord

Always a good nickname, now just have to remember who you were previously.

Lol yeah. Well in the banner I did put the artist formally known as [REDACTED] lol

ofc its @TheDude13 right?
no? where are dudes 1-13?? wtf?

I just saw that not 20 minutes ago from a developer I follow on Discord. Of course, I also just saw where a number of big developers just got their Patreon accounts under review. The Patreon team went on the other major site we know and found the fan made incest patch and used that to freeze their Patreon. Ironically, the developer doesn't even post on that other site but he's getting hit for a fan patch. Admittedly, I'm certain he designed his game to be patched in that way, but still!

look like it for new subs only but still shit of them but its Apple greedy fucks

anything the devs charge, the payment gateway charges a percent
but apple being apple puts 30% more on top
i guess this is one of the reasons spotify and epic games pulled out
you can still see spotify redirecting you to their page in safari for payments, not through the app

A King is the winner of the genetic lottery. A politician is a glad-handing sleazebag selling out his/her morals for votes. Not nearly the same thing. Although both basically suck.

King	Politician
Will order an execution	Can be executed
Lineage is mostly incest, family tree is probably a circle	Interracial? maybe idk
Has a harem Has concubines Has slaves	"Ever since Bill Clinton was still in office With Monica Lewinsky feelin' on his nutsack" ~rap god by eminem
sets his kingdoms rules	passes bills to the office
doesnt need to know what a computer is	cant live without a computer

this has nothing to do with the conversation u had with @Underlord about @conzibald being a king
i just felt bored and made a table here
