Jigsaw has the best plot twist

It seems Wafellow from the escape podcast has revealed his favorite plot twist not only in the Saw franchise, but in any movie ever. Anytime I discuss Jigsaw I get downvoted so bad. I was starting to doubt myself, but now I feel seen and validated.

He went on to defend it by saying it's really three twists in one, and that most people don't actually understand it. You'll explain it, then there's the "OOOHHH" moment. That has also been my experience with the film. So I'm curious, it's 2026. What does this subreddit think of Jigsaw?

Non-Toxic Stain/Finish for wood desk

I’m getting a butcher block counter top, the one provided in the image. Is there a safe, zero voc, non toxic stain, finish, or seal I can use so attain a smooth surface? I don’t care much for the color, just the smoothness. Some products like Poly or Lacquer seem to be “toxic.”

Most of the butcher block food grade finishes like oil or wax has to be reapplied every 2-3 months or never dries. That won’t work.

Is there something I can use that fits my needs? I was looking into Danish Oil and Jolie finishing wax but I’m unsure if it fits my needs. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Karlby is too rough

Is it supposed to be this rough and gritty? There’s no way I can use this. I already reinforced the bottom with angle brackets to prevent sag, so I can’t send it back.

I suppose sanding and finishing is my only option

Good Brands for Grunge/Emo style

I’m looking for quality brands in the grunge/“emo” aesthetic. I’ve noticed some of these shirts I can actually buy at hot topic. They have good belts too. For the most part, other brands online seem to be cheap drop shipped low quality clothes.

K***io has a lot of the style I’m going for, but seems to be temu quality. I’ll take any advice or suggestions. Outside of Etsy, I’m unsure where to look.

Yeah, I’m a Metroid Fan now

I randomly picked a game off the nintendo gameboy catalogue, and I’m so glad I landed on Metroid Fusion. It’s my first metroid game so I went in completely blind and was left utterly speechless.

Multiple plot twists, challenging boss fights, and a very satisfying ending. I was expecting a lot less. My favorite part was when the computer locked Samus in the navigation room, and right when all hope was lost, Adam reveals himself (first image). I was grinning ear to ear! I have much more to say, but i’ll leave it for my review.

I wanna know what everyone else thinks about Metroid Fusion. If the franchise gets better from here, then this is gonna be one fun ride.

THIS SPIDER BOSS IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE

I’m playing metroid fusion, my first ever metroid game and this spider is body slamming the life out of me. I can not win. Nothing in this game has been hard, until now. It’s like the difficulty jumped from easy to impossible

Edit: Thank you all! 15 attempts and I finally beat it. The tips are greatly appreciated, I’m loving this game ❤️

New Player, help! (play order)

I understand there are two games. TWEWY and NEO TWEWY.

It seems the first game has three versions, two that i’m interested in. The OG for DS, and the Switch version. I have access to both, please recommend me which is the better experience! I don’t care for QoL changes or gameplay mechanics.

What do I watch next? Finished The Batman

I just watched the Christian Bale trilogy, The Batman, and Lego Batman. Went in completely blind, didn't even know his mom dies or what the league of shadows were. These movies are amazing. The ending of Rises made me cry. Absolute PEAK

My question is, where do I go from here? Live action wise. I wanted to watch Batman vs Superman, but my friend said I'd need to watch Man of Steel first. I've also never seen a Superman movie. Nothing DC at all. Are there any good TV shows with Batman in them? Or shows about Gotham?

I'm doing some googling, but it's all very jarring. I'm not sure where to begin or what continuities there are. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have some lists pulled up of DC content, but I want to know what actual fans think.

I'm using this as a webcam essentially. I have around $2000 USD to spend, can go a little more if it's actually worth. I'm not too knowledgeable about camera, and most research I'm doing doesn't exactly talk about it being a webcam. It's somewhat of a niche way to use an expensive camera I suppose?

Anyway, right now I'm looking into the Nikon Z6II possibly a NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S lens. It's only ever going to record me, the camera isn't going outside. There are some other cameras I'm looking at, but the Nikon Z6II seems to get a lot of praise. Please do help!

* I currently use a Canon G7X, it records 1080p60fps which is great but there's no clean HDMI. I tried a Nikon D5100 my friend lent me, and it's only 25fps. I need a better option.

  • Budget: $2000〜 Camera & Lens
  • Country: United States
  • Condition: New
  • Type of Camera: Don't Care
  • Intended use: Webcam/Streaming
  • What features do you absolutely need: Clean HDMI (Live View), 1080p 60fps
  • Cameras you're considering: Nikon Z6II, from my research this tends a quality camera but I can't find much conversation about using it as a webcam. I'm chasing high quality.
  • Cameras you already have: Canon G7X Mark 1 | Nikon D5100

I'm not too knowledgeable about camera, and most research I'm doing doesn't exactly talk about it being a webcam. It's somewhat of a niche way to use an expensive camera I suppose?

Anyway, right now I'm looking into the ZV-E10 with either a 16-50mm lens or a Sigma 16mm f/1.4. The latter being quite expensive, but I'm not sure if I would heavily benefit from using it as a webcam in my room. It's only ever going to record me, the camera isn't going outside.

I just beat GoW 1 and plan to play II, III, Ascension, Chains of olympus, 2018 and Ragnarök.

Is there a big difference in Original GoW II vs the GoW II within the collection series on PS3? I'm also asking this about Ascension and Chains of Olympus vs GoW Collection Volume II. I'm mostly looking for which release to play on.

Edit: I just noticed there's another edition called GoW Origins Collection that have the same two games as Collection II. Is there a difference?
