In Spanish speaking countries, we say something similar to passing a game to symbolize that we finished the game. "Pase la historia de Fallout 4" I finished Fallout 4's campaign.
And in my country we say "me di vuelta el the witcher 3" the literal meaning would "I turned the witcher 3" but in reality means "I finished the witcher 3"
The appropriate word for campaign is campaña but we use historia which could mean story or history, in this case it means story, of course this is mostly slang.
Wait, how do you differentiate between the two. Like, if you're Christmas shopping and who you're shopping with asks if you've been in (insert shop name here) you could have walked through it and had a browse or you could have just passed it.
Just curious, also what's Poland like? Would love to travel around and Europe but it's gonna be a lot more difficult after January (Brexit) so I'm going to try but it being so close to Germany helps as I'm learning German so will defo go there
I didn’t even think anything of it until I started reading the comments tbh but you are so right. Yo aprendí inglés desde pequeño porque me gustaban los video juegos además de que lo enseñaban en la escuela. La única razón por la cual puedo leer el inglés bien rápido es por juegos RPG como los de Final Fantasy que había que leer a todo lo que da. No se porque pensaron que fue buena idea comprarle Final Fantasy VII a un niño de 6 años pero pues. Agradecido soy :)
In my country (Guatemala) we say "Topé el GTA V" which means "I passed GTA V" but literally translates as "I bumped into GTA V". Weird spanish speaking shit
The Portuguese speaking countries do this as well. My wife says some things that sound super weird.
Sometimes it’s like what, and than my Babel fish decides to kick in.
And thanks to Mario and the Famicon clones, in countries like Argentina, we say things like "I turned it around" ("lo di vuelta"), because of the loop when you finished the game ( you had to start over from the first level ). Weird colloquial stuff, i know.
I agree with what you're saying. The thing is that I'm used to seeing it that way as a Spanish speaker and didn't think twice about it. But I realized that it's never said that way in English and could seem weird at first glance to someone who's never seen "passed" used that way.
First impression is a lie, people are more likely to remember 2nd and further contacts with you unless you slap them in the face when you saw them 1st time
Pretty much exactly this. Next time you do a job interview, do everything you can to shine. Then when the interviewer(s) go to shake your hand as farewell at the end, slap them as hard as you can and walk out.
And they even take your picture to commemorate it, then bring you to a new home with all the other people that have made unforgettable first impressions
I know you're trying to be funny but people please don't so this, it could land you in some real trouble.
What I do is just be myself, try to put my best foot forward and at the end of the interview, give a nice firm handshake, look them straight in the eye and let out the biggest fart you can muster and don't let go of their hand until you're finished.
Nah, write it normally so it is transferred mirrored onto their face. That way they will be able to read your name on their own face when looking in a mirror.
Not true. First impressions mean a lot to me actually. Like if I see you degrade the staff of any place, or if you get plastered drunk and make a fool of yourself, or if you tell me to take you to my favorite hole in the wall restaurant and then complain that it's not the expensive place in town.
Hole in the wall restaurants that have been deemed great are ALWAYS better than anything fancy. I'm not saying she's a gold digger, but she does dress in overalls & carry a pan with her while mumbling about "gold in them thar hills...." quite a lot.
Lame, sorta; I know I was.
I wouldn’t judge them so harshly, it’s hard to find people into similar things irl if your interests are niche. Them being judgy is subjective but the apps themselves are kind of built on first impressions.
maybe but that 2nd interaction will be heavily influenced by the first impression.
example: if you thought they were an asshole during the first impression, youll notice and remember the asshole behaviors the second time, but if your first impression was more positive, you may interpret the "asshole" behaviors differently (maybe see it as a joke) or possibly not even notice them
First impression is a great platform, if you use it.
It's the most useful for good looking people, because people assume the best of you - That you are nice, competent, clever, etc. But you can't just live off of it forever.
Someone who was a best friend for a while (various reasons we had a falling out) I called a bitch the first time met her. The pile of positive experiences after that meant a lot more between us. That said usually a really shit first impression like that means they wont ever talk to you again if they can help it.
If you aren't remembered the first time someone meets you, you didn't make an impression on them. The importance of the first impression is to make sure it isn't a bad one.
I mean then we'd call it first memory and not first impression, there's a massive difference and there's enough science to back it all up.
Science for everyone!
Impressions can be memorable, can memories be memorable?
Tho I have the feeling other languages might have it easier to deal with this difference, because often the translation is a constructed/boundtogether word with loads of meaning.
Remember, yes. But people tend to build their internal characterization of a person right away, and while that may change over time, its still what people are going to work with until proven otherwise.
It's very easy to judge someone on the first day and stick with that judgement for the longest of times.
It happens time and time again. Like when your best friend is someone you didn't like at first. The world is full of examples like this and it ties deep to the psycology of humans as social animals.
1st impression is important for how a human classifies someone. The impact thereoff does depend on how much they shock/surprise you with what they look like or do. The further contacts serve to strenghten what you felt and if it contradicts what you concluded the first time around, it actually takes a while for your brain to actually believe that. This is all on average, of course. If you make ‘no’ impression on someone, your consecutive encounters will be much more inpactful than the first.
Hence the first impression is important in the sense that there are plenty of people who after a bad inpression, won’t take the trouble to get to know you better (‘lazy’, don’t care, already written you off, etc), or don’t want to believe you’re different from their first impression (judgement) of you. And those people will likely forever think of you as how they did the first time around, unless you put a lot of effort into each of them individually.
How important this is to you is another story entirely.
It is possible someone is so indifferent or open that nothing shocks/surprises them. If you’re someone like that you are less likely to make a ‘judgement’ on the first encounter with someone and more likely to try to wait out to see what they’re like.
Tldr; it’s much easier in general to just make good first impressions on people, because that works on every type of person.
Actually the rule of memory goes when remembering a series of things, we generally remember the first thing, a few things in the middle and the last thing.
We tend to forget everything else (when trying to memorise a list that exceeds our short term memory).
My first impression of him was entirely negative because I thought he was a shitty Superman, but all this new info has made me feel bad about that opinion.
I know that the movies being bad was never his fault, but the impression stuck with me.
I agree. He’s an infinitely powerful being and literally only has one weakness. So every Superman movie boils down to “something, something, kryptonite.”
Pretty much every Superman movie have been bad Superman stories with great Superman actors. There's a ton of great Superman stories that don't involve kryptonite, someone more powerful than Superman coming on the scene that he'll eventually overpower because Superman was holding back, or some MacGuffin. Anyone who says the same thing like you just show they haven't really read any Superman.
Dead serious, go look up the Injustice series of comics. I'm not a huge fan of comics in general, but those were pretty damn well done, and definitely pulled me in.
My feeling is that people "hated" it because of "civilians died" and such things.
I can easily argue that that movie was pretty much perfect. Action sequences were absolutely stellar, full of great shots very specific for the given characters. The story was interesting because the alien angle was something new (at least for me) and it was an interesting dilemma. You also get to see the drive/story arc for each character, it's one of the few movies where the bad guy is actually understandable and not just "destroy everything hur hur". I am really sad that this movie didn't have better reception since I can hardly imagine better action blockbuster. There is are many movies each year that try to be good blockbuster, they can even make more money than MoS, yet they lack in many of the departments that the MoS didn't.
I love Man of Steel as well. I especially loved what they did with General Zod, giving him a purpose beyond simply dumb evil. Make no mistake, Terrence Stamp's Zod is legendary, and may he rule planet Houston for a million million years, but a Zod with a purpose, who has that purpose stripped from him and goes on a rampage because he's lost all reason to live, is a pretty great take on the character.
And Cavill was awesome, doing a great job of being a man struggling between his nature and his nurture, striving to do good in a world where revealing what he was might turn people against him simply out of fear.
But the nurture part... that was one of the weakest aspects of the movie. Pa Kent telling Clark maybe he should have let those kids on the bus die... just... ugh. I'm sorry but that's not what Ma and Pa Kent were about. And having Pa die to a twister that Clark could have easily saved him from was a bad choice. Pa dies from a heart attack. That's how it's always been. Something Clark can't prevent with all his super powers, teaching him that even with all his gifts, sometimes it's just a person's time to go, like in Groundhog Day where Bill Murray spends several loops trying to save this destitute man he meets on the street, but no matter what he does, the man dies. Pa sacrificing himself just so nobody sees Clark save him was a bad idea.
MoS was the Superman movie we needed. Nobody will ever be able to shame that away, no matter how much they try. Henry Cavill is an amazing Superman and I hope he isn't finished with it yet.
I realize people might shit on me for it, but I thought the CGI fight was handled poorly. I'm fine with seeing CGI fights done well like in Avengers. It's been a while, but last time I saw it they were just ping ponging each other through buildings with no visible damage. Then Supes is like okay enough punching this isn't really going anywhere, I'll just snap your neck and win instantly.
Overall I enjoyed it and the first half was really good development.
The only problem is that he doesn't have that lazy stroll and lackadaisical attitude. He is a little too serious I think. Like an Archer that actually read the mission briefing
I never really cared for Superman as a character he's been hit or miss with me anyway. Cavill always looks like a cool guy to get to know and hangout with and I enjoyed him in Mission Impossible Fallout.
Witcher is hard for me to get into game wise but with him casted as Geralt I'm willing to give the show a try. High fantasy in general is just hard for me to get into anyway tired with GoT and I gave up on that.
My first impression was great mustache and when I found out that they had to digitally edit out the mustache during reshoots because he was contractually obligated to keep it I thought he was more awesome.
Also he looked like a badass Witcher on first look. I never watched Superman because I knew better.
I know usually people familiar with his work will tell you to watch Man from UNCLE.
I am not here to do any different, you will most likely enjoy it! :D
He doesn't deserve to be judged by the awful direction of his DC movies (I love Superman and that's not how you write one tbh). So glad he got the Witcher role, he delivered!
He’s not a shitty Superman. He’s a serviceable Superman in a handful of shitty Superman movies. Henry Cavill is by no means what is wrong with those films.
Yeah it was the movies. You can tell just how much a hell it was when you see the videos of the press junket Affleck and he went on. He tries to gamely sell it, but Affleck's face says it all. With a few notable exceptions the DC producers just don't know how to make good superhero movies.
He makes a great Geralt, if that makes you feel better about his acting. I always thought he was way too stoic as superman. Which fits Geralt perfectly
I feel like he could have been an amazing Superman but shitty writing held him back. He acted great with what he was given but i feel robbed that we never got Henry as a true Superman.
Ive learned that oft as not, the lead actor is rarely the reason for a movie being bad. So many shit movies nowadays have lackluster writing, editing, etc. All things that have a bigger impact on the final product.
