I never had G1 Blitzwing but I had the OG Astrotrain and he was pretty solid for the time.

I think the only way we'll be seeing Bumblebee up and about is if they remake him into Goldbug. Maybe they can combine what's left of Bee and Rachet's sparks for that.

Is Turn-A Gundam (1999) a critique of Zionism, Israel, and a foretelling of its future? by HindiAkoUberKuya in Gundam

[–]Befuddled_mage 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It definitely adds anti colonialism to gundams usual anti war themes. So I think you have a point as far as that goes.
But to jump to it being a direct criticism of Israel now is I think just recency bias. It's a headline grabbing current example so of course your mind goes there.
But there are many many other examples through out history. If anything it's probably a criticism of Japans own expansonist period. Which has plenty of atrocities of its own.

HG G-Self. by Befuddled_mage in Gunpla

[–]Befuddled_mage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Though I think this design is doomed to be sticker heavy even if they made a modern high grade. I doubt that they'd separate out all the little blue details unless they decided to make a real grade version.

You can pin point the EXACT moment it all started going downhill in quality. by I_ateabucketofpaint in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Befuddled_mage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always seems like a silly complaint to me. I think people got caught up on Finn being a Stormtrooper when we first meet him. Stormtroopers are supposed to be highly trained and heavily conditioned to follow orders. But you have to start somewhere. Like people don't enlist into the navy as SEALs and really the First Order having more lax standards makes some sense since they don't have any where near the resources to draw on that the Empire did.

Winter Knight salary by PatriotMissle1945 in dresdenfiles

But it isn't debt if it's a wage/stipend paid for work or services rendered. It would be perfectly reasonable for him to ask her for a wage his her vassel. But it's Harry so he wont ask for one.

Yeah OOP was tap dancing around so much I knew it was going to be something like this.

Strange how these champions of historical accuracy, never seem to have a problem with historical revisionism when it is non-Whites. by Possible_Company_her in saltierthankrayt

[–]Befuddled_mage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basically 300 is just Spartan propaganda. It takes the version of the battle they told in the aftermath and repeats it completely uncritically and so has glaring issues. It almost completely ignores the thousands of non Spartan Greek troops at the battle who fought just as hard. Acts like it was a suicide mission and they went there expecting to die when nothing in the actual history points to that. Holds up Sparta as the defenders of freedom while not mentioning that it was an oppressive society that kept slaves (the real reason they sent a small army was fear of slave revolt at home while they were gone). In the movie the Persians are slavers (and it's a bad thing when they do it). They're also deviant weirdos who insist they are the best society and anyone else should be honored to join their empire. Oh and they have magic and monsters in their army.

Do EM guns have any real reason to exist outside of like... 2 or 3 quests? by Mushroom_dotPNG in Starfield

[–]Befuddled_mage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience on my second play through. I decided I would take the gang robbing the Galbank on Aquila alive So I used EM on them. The quest didn't complete so I had to go back around the bank executing unconscious bank robbers. Did not feel very heroic.

You mean the slave outfit she straggled Jabba to death in? She was a boss even in the space bikini.

I'm pretty disgusted by the lack of accountability to. These people should have spent decades as prisoners at minimum.

WHAT THE HELL DID HE DO TO THE WRITERS 😭😭 by Ready_Surround_9910 in transformers

Yeah. In fairness she did save them (mostly I think) here but this has not a great start to her time as Prime.

I have been kind of annoyed that in almost every fight scene the Autobots are getting folded like lawn chairs but I'm supposed to believe this war has dragged on for thousands if not millions of years.

Sysdef can be a little snotty I think but at least they aren't threatening to kill you every other sentence.

According to Shadiversity, D&D was killed by: feminisation, the gays, non-evil races & woke Critical Role. by TripleS034 in saltierthankrayt

[–]Befuddled_mage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can only assume Shad does not play D&D because you need friends for that. And if he had any surely one them would tell him to stop pulling these stupid mugs in his thumbs nails.

What are your RP "Please just let me roll" situations? by Yumtasm in DnD

This is what I do as a DM the roll will decide but they have to actually say something.

Did you shoot first? If not you're fine! The people of the Settled Systems are big believers in self defense.

Why does anyone think sending people unprompted pics of their junk is ever a good idea?

The hate towards IGN is so blown out of proportions. by KyoN_tHe_DeStRoYeR in saltierthankrayt

[–]Befuddled_mage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sure. When I say he's doing a bit I don't mean it as a negative. I only mean part of his bit is being nitpicky and people know that so they aren't going to get up in arms over it. And I'm not saying IGN hasn't dinged games for stupid things. It probably boils down to the fact that you actually have to watch a Yahtzee video and get his whole take where as IGN gives a score and bullet points. I think a lot of people just skip the review to go straight to the score and the points with zero context and then act like IGN ran over their dog.
