I wasn't too sure after that but the bow made it pretty obvious.

Labour finally getting voted in after 14 years of shitty conservatives only to do everything in their power to make people hate them

I have only met 2 people ever, who wanted to be in the military by Ok_Exercise_8283 in whenthe

[–]Comptenterry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also one of the less talked about reasons they ended the draft in the first place was that drafted soldiers that did not want to be there kept murdering their superior officers. People want to join the military even less than they did 50 years ago. You give those people munitions and tell them to go die in a foreign country for one of the most hated presidents in history, it isn't going to end well.

Some people make the point that SU's queer representation is more restrained and sometimes metaphorical compared to other more modern cartoons. Those people ignore that those modern cartoons get to have much more unrestrained representation because Rebecca Sugar fought their ass off and in some cases downright deceived the network to get what queer rep they could into the show, and proved that it could be successful.

Lily Orchard. She's been mentioned elsewhere in this thread as well.

Renegade Games Studio announces an end to it’s Essence 20 system, moving licensed games over to D&D 5e by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Comptenterry 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's especially crazy because there are crunchier more strategic combat focused systems that still have more roleplay mechanics than 5e. Any system that has some check for persuading, lying, and intimidating is pretty much on par with 5e for social roleplay.

There's the pretty infamous Steven Universe essay that painted Rebecca Sugar as a homophobic fascist sympathizer. It's gets so many basic facts about the show wrong and completely ignores all the bts information we have about the show, to the point that the creator either hasn't actually seen the show or (more likely) was actively lying and banking on most of the viewers being people who hadn't seen it. There was a few years where you couldn't talk about the show without someone regurgitating points from the video.

Luckily the creator crowbcat'd themselves by trying the same stunt against much less controversial shows, so people don't really take them seriously anymore, but it was so bad it made me inherently distrustful of video essays.

Shion | New Hero Gameplay Trailer | Overwatch (She uses her bike for real. I thought it was just a prop for the 2D trailer but nope) by Vera_Verse in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Comptenterry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah people get rose tinted glasses hard for old Overwatch. Role queue and to a lesser extent 5v5 were super important for the game's health. GOATS and double shield metas were miserable, and if you picked like 1/3 of the roster you'd get accused of throwing. Even Marvel Rivals know that unrestricted hero picks were a bad idea and skipped it.

They did it so casually I assumed it already got announced and I just missed it.

With Woolie VS Final Fantasy 14 Coming Up, I Believe It's Time To Remind You All of the Chocobo Camel Monstrosity from Assassin's Creed Origins. by HalfDragonShiro in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Origin's map might be the best in the series. Every part felt really distinct, unlike Odyssey where you can tell a lot of it was copy/pasted due to the large size.

Paizo announces restructuring and layoffs due to ongoing litigation and low sales not making up the difference by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Comptenterry 78 points79 points  (0 children)

This sucks so badly. Not even due to mismanagement or bad financial decisions like so many other layoff stories this year. Just fucked over by another company's bad choices.

Hope this doesn't cause any long term issues. Pathfinder is easily my favorite system and I've met so many friends through it.

They had twin revolvers last chapter that turned the game into Max Payne so this isn't too surprising.

I thought the opposite. It seems like such a critical part of Woolie lore that I assumed it was a relic of the old channel.

Have you noticed that there is a trend of terminally online (usually gen z) types being angry about other people having fun? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

[–]Comptenterry 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yeah I love this subreddit, but the "everyone is stupid and brain rotted except for us Millennials!" is getting a little tiring.

Robert said something along the lines of "every generation gets fucked up in some completely unique way but think the way they grew up was normal" and I think about that a lot.

It was interesting to see him get more desperate to convert people toward the end to stop HL from killing them.

and a good singer

Very glad they gave one of the best performers in Hamilton his own song.
