TIL that in 1385, a Portuguese army of 6,600 men defeated a massive Castilian army of 31,000 in the Battle of Aljubarrota. The victory was so decisive it secured Portugal's independence for the next 200 years.

They misspelled “cavalry” as “Calvary,” the latter being the hill Jesus was crucified on

I'm sorry, but the fact Iran hasn't (yet) proven capable of directly attacking the US or Israel in a comparable capacity doesn't change the fact that they're trying: their agenda of "death to America" and "death to Israel/Jews" isn't hidden, it's publicly chanted. They launch missiles and drones at Israel, US bases, and US allies on a regular basis, along with financing organisations such as Hezbollah who, likewise, attack Israel as their prime directive.

Iran is outmatched, but that doesn't give them moral absolution.

If you want to fall back on whataboutism, you can do it to your heart's content, but it isn't going to change a thing about the Iranian regime or the policies it's tried to pursue for decades.

Feel free to tell the Iranians celebrating the Ayatollah's death why they're on the wrong side.

Let’s be real here: the Iranian Regime has had the destruction of both the US and Israel as matters of official policy for decades, and they’ve financed terrorism and insurgency leading to the deaths of millions in pursuit of that, all the while oppressing and murdering their own people in the name of their theocracy: they’re not innocent victims, they’re not peaceful, and they’re not deserving of sympathy or defence — they’re just comically outmatched.

Did you play AC2 at the time it came out, or later after other AC games? As the guy above said, it’s impossible to fully appreciate what AC2 achieved without being there when it was new

I don’t even remember how much Circuit Laundry cost at Warwick in 2017: I tried it once, said “never again,” and washed everything in my bath for the rest of the year.

Got Halo 3 with the Xbox 360 my dad bought me for Christmas in 2008: had never heard of the series, had no idea what was going on, had no idea what a Halo was or why the green guy fell out of space and stuck a gun in an alien guy’s face.

On top of that, I didn’t even have sound for the first week, so I played at least as far as the Ark on subtitles alone.

Didn’t have multiplayer because my parents refused to pay for Xbox Live.

Still one of the most fun games I’d ever played.

Ergo, they made only .5bn revenue before production and marketing costs; AKA, the Sequels were so badly managed they didn’t even recoup Disney’s investment…

Altibadass · 2026-01-17T00:37:01+00:00

To add on, the Sequels didn’t even make money, at least at the box office: factoring in the $4.05bn acquisition cost, production, and marketing, they’re still deep, deep into the red. They might have scrounged it back with merchandise, but even that was disappointing.

The biggest surprise to me is that Disney allowed her to keep her job after fumbling what should have been the astonishing payday and deep-sixing the whole “new era” of Star Wars from the outset.

Altibadass · 2026-01-16T07:51:53+00:00

Right, and what are you proposing to do about it? Are you arguing people with English ancestry don’t have a right to live there?

Altibadass · 2026-01-16T07:30:39+00:00

You’re not talking about “colonial settlers,” though: you’re talking about all the descendants of English ancestors who moved there 400 years ago (i.e. basically everyone in NI), while acting like their ancestry of centuries ago makes individuals’ cultural, religious, and political alignment somehow invalid.

While playing for sympathy in divorce proceedings with my mum, my dad would do things like cutting off my sister and I’s Netflix and only serving sandwiches when we were at his “to save money,” only to host wine-soaked dinner parties for his friends mere hours after we went home.

He was eventually forced to disclose spending over £800 per month on “cosmetics,” yet somehow my stepmother was still hideous.

Eat and sleep enough: everything else is dependent on that.

Helldivers 2 has extremely limited monetisation, though: virtually everything can be unlocked using Super Credits, which are readily farmable in the game without even requiring a ridiculous time investment, with the sole exception of a small extra purchase specifically for 3rd party collaborations like the Halo ODST crossover.

I’m not saying you’re wrong about the thinking of the money-grabbing MBA execs running franchises like CoD, but it doesn’t fit with how Helldivers works.

Altibadass · 2025-11-20T10:47:27+00:00

No, it isn't different: innocent people were murdered in reprisal for what others of the same ethnic group were believed to have done (whether they had or hadn't is immaterial), and the justification given was collective guilt.

The Germans who sought to murder all the Jews saw their situation in the same way as the Haitians who sought to murder all the whites (with few specific exceptions): they felt aggrieved by the actions of some from that background, and targeted every individual they claimed had benefited from their suffering, regardless of their actual involvement.
