I’m back from my suspension, lesson not learnt.

I’d just like to add that they decided to make the big sea monster in Aquaman be voiced by the lovely 83 year old Julie Andrews and I love them all for it

forget expendables, john wick is where it’s at ![:ok_hand:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/ok_hand.png?v=6" ":ok_hand:")
mindless violence and pew pew space explosions are a nice break from all the convoluted-but-not-really plots movies try to come up with nowadays
do it right and it’s better than a mindless movie, do it wrong and I prefer mindless numbness

You’re all wrong, Mad Max is where it’s at in terms of action films that you don’t really need to understand the plot to watch, (although all but Thunderdome do have good plots.)
more talking than there is killing in mad max though
Me and my parents watched Venom together, and it was a pleasant movie. Then I watched it with my girlfriend and we also quite enjoyed it, though she considered the first quarter of the movie a bit poor, but liked the rest of the movie.
Meanwhile, “Professional Critics” are saying that it’s a very poor movie.
Lesson from this? Don’t trust people trying to be pseudo-critics or professional critics who seem to have a hard time enjoying stuff. Granted you can always look at snippits of a movie and see for yourself if it’s something you’d want to watch or not, but anything beyond that is gonna be a hard thing to pinch through.
Edit:
Gooooood. Fight the Power!
Wait, what were you suspended for anyway? Saying naughty words to someone?

I have a Subnautica peeve: Subnautica itself.
It’s a horror game to me. Quite literally. Good thing I got it for free so I don’t have to feel like I kicked myself silly on a game that I’d be too nervous to play.
Seriously, any game that has underwater to it turns out to make me feel really uneasy. Especially if the developers fill said underwater with fish that look like aliens, or giant worm creatures that roar with great fury.
Also, I played a bit of it on a stream for my girlfriend, I was admiring some kind of dragon-shark-lizard fish, and it made me jump and scream in terror when it snapped at me. I guess that’s what imyershin does to you?
Kind of reminds me of markiplier’s reactions to playing the game.
He HATES the ocean.
Even named his first submarine SS. F the ocean.
For copying what a certain night elf was saying. example:
Stop Copying me
Stop copying me
I’m not saying I didn’t deserve the suspension. But I definitely have not learnt any moral from it.

I’ve got some real thalassophobia, but Subnautica (after a bit) really becomes easier to manage—even if you’re frightened to bits. I was on voice with the friend that made me buy it back when it first released (she played all throughout the Open Beta, so knew what was coming) and s2g I did not even leave the overall vicinity of my pod until my character died from thirst no matter the prodding/encouragement. And that takes a long time…
Still clocked 300 hours on it.
The first death actually helps you understand what the game is about. Unless you play Hardcore (much more enjoyable, but only after your 1st play) you never really lose anything, so the instinctual “I must NOT die” that Subnautica somehow inspires in everyone the first time around ends up slowly fading and you begin to enjoy the exploration without much fear.
But yeah, no, it’s definitely a horror especially at the later zones when you first visit them. The music was apparently (not sure if true or false but seen it thrown around) made in order to sync with your heartrate and increase it/cause panic/adrenaline or something. Absolute work of art.

That’s how I was banished to the Shadow Realm, except I was copying He Who Strides the Leys so that his comments couldn’t vanish into the ether…

I bet you skip Vashj’ir all the time you level? Sorry if I messed up the spelling, by the way.
I tend to avoid going to it if I have a choice.
Though if I’m doing something for an achievement or any other miscellaneous task, then I just stick to the ground like glue. I always feel safe hiding on the ground. Or just any surface really.
Really, you should be asking me “What do you do as a Horde player having to go to a deep sea expedition?”. And to that I will answer with: Keep the lights off, stick to the surface, turn off my monitor when ascending.
Funny to see so many people sharing my same phobia… And it’s quite ironic considering that I literally spent 2/3 of my life enjoying the sea.
What scares me most with the sea is that, it’s sort of the unknown, kinda interesting to know that barely 10-15% of the sea has been explored and studied so far. Even if the place you’re at is fairly safe, the idea that my foot is stepping in something hard or too muddy and that a nasty stingy fish might do something is not reassuring.
Add to that the fact that Sunlight doesn’t exactly reach far (2Km I think before darkness is more prevelant) truly is a scary thing… The silence also gets eery.
Thalassophobia… A b!tch.

I never played that game but I watched both Mark’s and JSE’s playthroughs extensively.
Can definitely see why it’s scary if you go in blind, though I know it so well now I doubt I’d be scared.
Oh who am I kidding, I know Amnesia inside out and exactly where and when all the monsters spawn. I still melt like a scared icecream in the sewer level.
I don’t mind being underwater, not even in the ocean. Somehow that’s “alright” with my brain. But floating on the surface and knowing there are miles of nothingness below?
Hahahahnope.

Not to be confused with Thalassianopobia, which is when you’re scared of elfspeak.

I’m actually jealous of my cat.
He’s in his bed with his blanket over him and its so toasty in that little pocket.
If only I could have a bed-chair with a cocoon blanket to keep me warm while on the computer.
An incredibly complicated one at that. Yes, yes you can tell that soldier what to do. But that soldier belongs to him. And he is much, much, much higher and powerful than you.
And here’s the real kicker. He has a boss.
How many people do you want to annoy today?
Yes that’s simplified, but I don’t think people realise how complex Sith politics are. If you play with it both in RP and in the story, it’s incredibly immersive.
Shame the story just went to sh!t.
Always took that as the point tbh. A light Sith isn’t actually light, they’re a Sith of the sort that reaches the highest echelons, as opposed to the slathering madmen that just maybe hit low level Lord and stay there before dying because they decided they were all powerful, not realising they were really a bug.
Peeve: fireworks. Endless damn fireworks. I appreciate people want to celebrate the new year (god knows why, not like anything actually changed) but going off after 2am is taking the damn piss.
