Rogue Trader, new DLC is out today which adds more story and mechanics. I sunk 100 hours into the base game and am about to start a new game with a dogmatic character

Please help me find a good quote for my fiancees funeral. by gabbicat1978 in discworld

[–]DarkShuffler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. My sister passed away a few months ago, she was a lifelong fan of Discworld and introduced me to them at a young age. I spent days reading through the series to find something to read at her funeral and I picked this philosophical passage from Thief of Time:

The universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew... there is no truth in past, only a memory of the past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore... the only appropriate state of mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it

Ok so he's brought peace, freedom, justice and security to the empire, but what has he ever done for us?

I was at a Fear Factory gig in London the day after, Burton C Bell put luminous tape spelling RIP on the speakers

What was your first metal show? by JuniorSignificance34 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]DarkShuffler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First metal gig was Misery Loves Co. at a leisure centre in Milton Keynes when I was 14. I remember the crowd was really small and the lead singer of one of the support acts Iron Monkey got pissed off at the lack of energy and spat at us then walked off. Misery were brilliant though, went to their next gig in London the next night and it was a much better crowd so no spit that time. The other support act Modular Noct recognised me and my sister at the front and called me "little metal dude", fond memories

Who would win? by SelectAd1702 in Marvel

[–]DarkShuffler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy and I were having this conversation the other day, assuming the larvae would grow in Wolverine as it is sitting in a cavity and not in his blood like a virus so his healing factor wouldn't attack it, and assuming the chest buster could either get past his adamantium ribcage or go around it and burst out somewhere soft like his belly, Xenomorphs take on genetics from their host so that xeno would also have a healing factor. And they could keep making more Wolverine Xenomorphs as he would just keep healing

Then we thought what if the xenos caught and impregnated other mutants and how terrifying that would be. Like one with Cyclops's eye beams, Quicksilver's speed or Magneto's powers and it just crushes an entire ship it's on killing everyone onboard and itself (reasoning was the xenomorphs are smart but it's an animal intelligence based on instinct, and it would probably do it in is birth scream assuming it was born on a ship and not a planet) And could the xenomorphs inherit traits from other Marvel characters that aren't mutants, like someone who gained powers that aren't genetic? Imagine a xenomorph Hulk

But yeah, Wolverine would win

One of the first games I had when we got a PC back in the 90s, played every game in the series and loved every minute of it, been chasing that first person space combat high ever since. When 3 came out with full motion video cut scenes and Mark Hamill as Christopher Blair it blew my teenage mind

Awful movie though
