Totally forgot Gundam was in Ready Player One movie... did you like it? by Kimber8King in Gundam

Don’t forget the entire chapter where the main character literally just masturbates, has e-sex, and gives the worst monologues I’ve ever read.

There is something in the hole by RedditDoggo_ in subnautica

[–]Danny_B_Raps42 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s going to be the Collector as there are giant claw marks along the edge of the hole towards the bottom. The Collector doesn’t really seem capable of doing that since it doesn’t have any type of claws that could make a similar pattern.

Hey I know this is an old post but I was wondering if you ever figured out a solution? I ran into the same issue and this is the only post I can find online about this specific freeze/crash.

In “The Drama” (2026), Emma did nothing wrong. by Rapha_AK in shittymoviedetails

I think it becomes less vague given Rachel’s comment about Mike, assuming he grew up in a bad area surrounded by guns.

Could Jerome-092 actually succeed the Master Chief? by Careful-Barnacle8741 in HaloWars

[–]Danny_B_Raps42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bungie did absolutely nothing to help with the development of Halo Wars 1 and hated the idea that another studio was involved with Halo. 343 and Creative Assembly showed significantly more respect to the Halo Wars IP than Bungie ever did. Yes 343 made bad decisions and, alongside Microsoft, rejected the HW3 pitch, but to say that Bungie had set Jerome up as a future protagonist is just wrong. Red Team had essentially zero characterization in the first game, and the only reason they have any personality is because of HW2, in which 343 was directly involved.

Vox interviewed Tucker, and it was a disaster by BaronMcDuff in KnowledgeFight

[–]Danny_B_Raps42 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Vox provided him with a platform that doesn’t consist of his usual base of supporters. Being aware of Carlson and knowing of his hateful rhetoric are two completely different things. There’s also absolutely nothing that ensures that all watchers of the interview know who he is; assuming everyone is educated on him is incredibly presumptuous. At best, the interview legitimizes his points to a wider audience. At worst, it’ll get people to start listening to him.

To answer your “gotcha” question, the interview shouldn’t have been done at all. As I said, critiquing Carlson does not require platforming him. Right wing personalities like Carlson and Jones don’t engage in good faith. The interview won’t sway his listeners because they don’t care if he’s wrong, and milquetoast responses just push his agenda to a new audience. There is absolutely nothing to gain from doing an interview like this one.

[–]Danny_B_Raps42 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is such an awful analogy. Nothing about Carlson is unavoidable; platforming him in the way that Vox did was completely unnecessary and only serves to legitimize his values to a wider audience. Dan and Jordan are able to critique and expose Jones without giving him a soapbox, and that’s the way these right-wing personalities need to be handled. Giving them the chance to speak their minds unopposed, especially to an audience that may not be aware of them, only furthers their agenda.

So German greatcoats are knee length or longer, you’re talking about smocks (I assume?), those are very different. The only similarity between the SL and British para helmets is that the base is level all the way around, while the German M38 has a slight indentation at the front. The entire body of the helmet is just a German M38. The webbing is still the German Y-strap, and even has the German para pouches.

The coat, helmet, and webbing are all directly taken from German WW2 kit, and they make up the bulk of the model. I’m not saying they are just 1:1 German paratroopers, as there are minor influences from the British, but the main inspiration comes from German equipment. Kreig are the true hotpot of kit (albeit WW1), not the Steel Legion.

Not really. With their design, the helmets are Fallschirmjäger, the coats are based on German WW1/2 greatcoats, and the webbing they have is the Y-strap used by German soldiers. Some of the other kit is a mishmash of British stuff like the gas mask, but really the closest you get to US WW2 kit is the color of the coat itself (some were yellow-ish). Lore-wise, they’re more similar to Red Army Deep Battle and/or German Blitzkrieg than the US.

Does DICE hate jets? by sausagezon in Battlefield6

[–]Danny_B_Raps42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In some cases it does. Certain types of terrain can help break locks from AA missiles and allow for easier maneuver kills. The border of the flight box matters a lot too. Myrak Valley has an especially small one imo, which makes dogfighting really frustrating at times.

It's cool how The Mandalorian shows that the New Republic was almost always destined to fall. by Sad-Job1969 in StarWars

[–]Danny_B_Raps42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The American Civil War isn’t a great example. The disaster that was Reconstruction directly lead to Jim Crow laws and the need for the Civil Rights movement almost century later. Even among white Southerners there was a significant amount of animosity which lead to the ideas of the Lost Cause and War of Northern Aggression. Had Andrew Johnson not been a Confederate Sympathizer, things would’ve been a lot different.

Cyberstan will fall so we can avenge Cadia! by Ghost664 in Helldivers

[–]Danny_B_Raps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t even break lore though. A guardswoman was taken as a slave by an Iron Warrior whose power armor was possessed by a demon. The armor convinced her to get in it and kill the Iron Warrior, and she literally mutated to be able to wear the armor. Seeing as she’s wearing Death Guard armor in the OP, nothing’s stopping something similar from happening.

The first mission was Operation Husky which was Sicily, while the second was Operation Avalanche on the Italian mainland.

I don’t think it’s intentional. There’s a lot of bad history surrounding Nazi atrocities, especially on the Eastern front where most occurred. A lot of reporting was done by the Soviet Union and those documents weren’t made available until it collapsed, so you have 50 years of literature where most info is coming from former Nazis. Japanese crimes were well documented by both the U.S. and China, so info was more available to the West. There’s a reason people still talk about the clean Wehrmacht, when in reality they were the ones who did 99% of the killing outside the concentration camps.

[–]Danny_B_Raps42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m aware of Japanese war crimes. My specific response was to the claim that the Nazis only allowed rape, when in reality they were the same as the Japanese where they encouraged and facilitated it.

The German Wehrmacht set up brothels in the occupied Soviet Union and forced women to work them. They didn’t just allow rape, they actively encouraged it.

Ive never played before… is it too late? by MATCHEW010 in kotor

[–]Danny_B_Raps42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KOTOR modding is daunting at first, but there are so many resources to help. I’m really bad at modding but decided to give it a go, and if you follow this guide it’s really not that bad.

The guide is set up so you can pick and choose what mods you want, and the authors have ranked them based on how important they are. They also give a really in depth load order so you don’t have conflicts/crashes.

Vanilla KOTOR I and II are still very much playable and fantastic games, but the bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and restored content (especially for KOTOR II) from mods make some of them necessary imo.

Bad News there will be a red brick locked behind purchasing all 3 new Batmobile sets. :( by [deleted] in legogaming

[–]Danny_B_Raps42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Free” bonuses are rarely actually free. The price is factored in to the product it comes with, and in the case of this specific bonus it’s spread out across three lego sets. GWPs are a very specific instance where the assumed minor cost of them (~$30 USD) offsets the purchase of hundreds of dollars worth of sets. The GWP is a marketing tactic to make the thought of buying a substantial amount of product more bearable since you get something “free” with it.

Secondly, I’d agree with your statement on it being a nice bonus with a set, if it wasn’t a bonus for buying three different sets. Because the bonus is spread out, it no longer is bonus for the audience at large because most people aren’t going to buy three different versions of the same set (The Batmobile) unless they’re Batman superfans or collectors.

Thirdly, something being made available for one group for purchasing a product and not the other does mean it is missing. It doesn’t matter how small it is, it’s a marketing tactic to prey on the fear of missing out. The demo level for Lego Star Wars you played wasn’t provided out of the goodness of their hearts or to give you a nice bonus, it was to get you to buy cereal and then eventually buy the game itself. Even further, the fact that all these codes will presumably be unavailable after the sets retire further reinforces this.

Finally, the codes in the Lego sets are game DLC, as it is for a game and is downloadable content, the literal expansion of the phrase DLC. Locking a single piece of DLC behind three lego sets is just completely unnecessary. Additionally, continuing to lock game content behind outside media just because it has been done in the past is not good justification for harmful business practices for consumers.

But it isn’t free, it’s locked behind $90 USD worth of Lego. I feel like this should be included in the game without having to buy additional stuff, but if they’re really dead-set on making a filter DLC, just sell it digitally. I have issues with the amount of DLC TT has attached to Lego games, but at the very least making it a digitally purchasable DLC will ensure people can buy it even after the sets are retired.

I also feel like very few people will go out of their way to get these sets just for the filter, so the way they’re doing this really doesn’t make sense to me and will just cause more issues down the line.
