The Good, The Bad, and the Weird (좋은 놈, 나쁜 놈, 이상한 놈) is a fantastic slapstick take on the classic western that has a lot of fun with the setting.
Trollhunter (Trolljegeren) is a great horror-mockumentary done in a found footage style.
Basically anything by Kurosawa.

Australian crime scenes. Duh.

Edit: TO COMMUNISTS, ANARCHISTS, OR ANYONE ELSE CALLING FOR THE OVERTHROW OF SOCIETY

THIS OBVIOUSLY ISN'T MEANT FOR YOU.

You're asking why radical leftists reject your reformism. Who other than radical leftists are going to give you an actual answer instead of a pat on the back?

Anyway the answer is liberalism is far more violent, it just exports the violence overseas and commits it at an industrialised level. The infamous "Terror" in France only killed a few thousand people - the Iraq war killed over a million. While millions were killed in the cultural revolution, hundreds of millions were killed by the British Raj. Revolutionary violence is in fact far less violent than regular capitalism, so you're hated for supporting its continuation.

All the spaces there are all the possible locations for the electrons.

Close, but not quite - the spaces are the most likely locations for the electrons at any moment in time. There is always a small chance they've fucked off over the street for a nanosecond when you take your measurement.

I had both of these in A-level biology somehow. One week we were taught by the ex nurse who was constantly exasperated by us not knowing stuff like how coronary bypass surgeries are performed, and the next a former primary school teacher who would have us doing cutting and sticking exercises on ATP transfer or DNA sequencing. Neither particularly improved our understanding of biology.

I mean it's meant to be illegal in Austria, but I still saw a fuckload of Nazis when I went to a football game there.

"Dead meat is hung, live meat is hanged." Turns out most people's grandma's aren't radical leftist english teachers.

Actually I jumped to conclusions based on the whole comment, as it makes them seem like they consider becoming a moral relativist to be speeding through maturity.

Ok, I see what you mean, the way you wrote it made it seem like you considered the process of becoming a moral relativist to be speed running maturity. Well done for growing out of it, then.

to go full moral relativism right away

Jesus, so you still think the mature stance was "maybe Hitler wasn't morally wrong"? Bad news, you still have a lot of maturing to do. Like a fucking phenomenal amount. Just because your beliefs as a child were even more baseless doesn't mean you've moved to a sensible position.

"How do you spell that?"
"I dunno, how do you wanna spell it?"

The only marketing I don't hate is handwritten signs by the gate to a farm with addendums like "manur: $free$"

If you really want the feeling of thac0 at your table you can just do AC - attack bonus to find the number you need to roll over, and bang your head against the table for the rest of the experience.

As it turned out, the llama planes were not what Jacob hoped them to be.

Mostly it's just meant that it takes ages - usually time is a big enough price that no other punishment is needed. Their recent actions generated a group of ghosts though, so ghosts wandering through the room while they're searching is now a thing.

My players like to save their worst rolls for perception checks to find secret doors. Even when they specifically know there's a secret door and just need to work out how to open it, out comes a parade of 1s and 2s.

Oh I agree, what I mean is that the similarities were barely even superficial. They were both hero shooters, but so are Apex Legends and Rainbow Six Seige, and you'd never compare them to Overwatch.

because it was superficially similar to Overwatch it absolutely bombed.

Sort of, the real issue was it had no advertising of its own, just Randy Pitchford synergising buzzwordsalad on twitter and trying to create a rivalry with Overwatch. Nobody really knew what it was supposed to be from advertising, because nobody thought to just say "FPS MOBA".

Ah yes, the Gazebo problem.

I doubt they'll be issuing retractions but they claim it's all updated with the latest science, so probably.
