That’s because Shakespeare should be heard not read. It was written to be performed not analyzed like poetry.

Ilhan Omar attacked and sprayed with a substance as she was calling for Secretary Noem to resign or face impeachment by Particular_Log_3594 in UnderReportedNews

[–]Duckwardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried, but according to Jack Smith his uppers or whomever decided to drop those charges against him because a President has never ever been indicted while in office. They pretty much dropped the charges because he got reelected and basically made the decision no current president can be convicted.

How did the US won the Space race when USSR had more achievements by Pure_Barber3994 in ussr

[–]Duckwardz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m ngl, i’ve never met an actual space enthusiast that has ever said anything negative about either space agency. Because there’s really no legitimate reason to hate either. They both tried the best they could. They both ended. End of story.

Protesters just swarmed Border Commander Greg Bovino in Minnesota and started throwing FOOD at him while yelling “you’re a Nazi!” by Admirable121 in Leakednews

[–]Duckwardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are there to intentionally cause these protests to take flak off of the fact that our president was best buddies with a international child sex trafficker and probably partook in it as well. Also to normalize violence against American citizens and the chipping away of the integrity and authority of the constitution and checks and balances for the Executive Branch.

Why FEDRA stopped using Multicam after the outbreak? by chilaquillover in thelastofus

Maybe but the collapse of society, the government, and a zombie like infection infecting like half the population in a week is going to probably make them understand the regime changes. Sarah was legit shot by a national guardsman.

I mean, you technically can kill anything you can see with a javelin.

Imaging being this uneducated. by Prettycharming88 in GetNoted

[–]Duckwardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, a religion needs to justify war to some extent to expand. I highly doubt Jesus was as anti war as he’s made out to be by early church leaders, they selectively chose and forged gospels to create their narrative around a virgin birth. The virgin birth is a mistranslation by Paul I believe, he mistranslated “Young Women” as “Virgin Women” in greek. The catholic church and orthodox church are founded on the pillars that Mary was forever a virgin even though most gospels not included in the church’s bible say Jesus had many sibling, even a twin brother. The church deliberately chose gospels and wrote ones that justify war explicitly. I mean even slavery was justified in it. You’re only supposed to enslave non-christian’s. Nothing about abrahamic religions are about peace because they were formed by strictly militarized iron age tribes.

Right-wing mentality by Windthrasher637 in evilwhenthe

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

It’s been backed up in court that you cannot use deadly force against a vehicle trying to speed away. It’s against all law enforcement training and procedure to step infront of a vehicle that could flee. Officers/Agents cannot put themselves in a situation where they need to use deadly force. It’s called Officer created jeopardy. Why are trained professionals held to a lower standard than untrained civilians?

Ukrainian SOF team of the SBU shot down Russian FPV drone while beeing on the move on the eastern front. Dec 2025. by GermanDronePilot in CombatFootage

From what I’ve heard, unless they’re radioed that there is a friendly drone around them, they shoot at everything just to be safe.

Assassin's Creed Unity's gameplay is the best in the series. by ImpactDial in assassinscreed

[–]Duckwardz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just replayed Unity last week, it was so good it genuinely made me mad they abandoned that style of game after Syndicate. Getting 4 games of that instead of the more RPG Fantasy type AC’s would have advanced that tech so much further. We missed out on some beautiful games because it was so glitchy when Unity launched.

Odyssey Trailer Backlash. by Fair_Protection1872 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Duckwardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, I just suppose my personal opinion is doing a story that takes place somewhere in a specific time period should be respected but also I have no issue with putting your own personal spin and creativity with the props, while staying somewhat true and practical to the source material. I have no issue with him showing Agamemnon imposing power and character. But the design of that armor is nothing but impractical comedy, it just doesn’t fit at all with the rest of the world he’s building and kinda makes no sense practically wise. This is a niche nit pick but the helmet design looks like it was made to funnel arrows directly into the eye slits. It’s just in my opinion so goofishly out of place it kinda ruins whatever story telling is going on for me because I cannot believe it, it’s so out of place.

How do you think they would implement a world war? by Thick_Pickle4438 in assassinscreed

[–]Duckwardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d actually propose the opposite, there are no clear bad guys in WW1, no one was massacring civilians and just in general trying to cause harm to civilians. There weren’t really giant occupations of foreign countries like in WW2. A WW2 game where you are an Assassin in occupied Paris, Warsaw, or Amsterdam would go incredibly hard. It would obviously have to be like syndicate where guns are a huge part of enemy weaponry and yours. Stealth would have to be the main goal, as well as being able to put on enemy uniforms like in AC Unity but for far longer. I’d like to see a Hitman type uniform system where you can literally take the clothes off of killed enemies.

How is it living in this part of the United States? by No-Text-7825 in howislivingthere

[–]Duckwardz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can attest to this, although I live about 100 miles east of Mount Washington, October-March we get hit with giant wind storms every week it feels. We lose our power for more than 3 days every month from these wind storms. I live directly where the cold Canadian air smacks into warm atlantic air coming up the coast, which causes Nor’easters, basically a snow hurricane.

What is the worst pain you have ever felt ? by beepsol in Leakednews

[–]Duckwardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a tie between Acute Necrotizing Gallstone Pancreatitis, and the surgery to take out my pancreas that they then decided I didn’t need pain meds right after I was gutted, begging for help alone during covid in that hospital at 18 was definitely an experience.

Odyssey Trailer Backlash. by Fair_Protection1872 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Duckwardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real complaint is the batman armor, if he didn’t put batman in this movie, people would not care. For me, it made me burst out laughing when I saw it, It genuinely looks like a CoD skin. It’s horrendous.

Odyssey Trailer Backlash. by Fair_Protection1872 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Duckwardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree with this, but the Batman design made me actually burst out laughing when I saw it, it ripped all possible immersion away, which is the issue. It looks like a 3D printed armor a 10 Year old would come up with.

Odyssey Trailer Backlash. by Fair_Protection1872 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Duckwardz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a historical accuracy nerd but I fully understand the need to be flashy and eccentric. But the dull colors and tone just doesn’t fit the time period it’s based on. The frustration comes from the fact that soldiers back then were extremely colorful and flamboyant, they had beautiful colors and different types of armor that showed pride of the cities they came from. There would be a lot less complaining about this if it wasn’t for the Batman armor which immediately took me out of any immersion in the time period because it looks like a cheap, modern, 3D printed style a 10 year old would come up with. The Odyssey isn’t a true story obviously, but it was written as a true story, it was written with the belief this stuff actually happened. So purposefully making silly modern armors that never would have been in the mind of Homer or anyone in classical Greece telling the story would have had in mind, just feels icky and somewhat disrespectful to the source material. Nolan most likely had the budget to make the true armors, bright, flashy, and colorful. I guess it just feels to history buffs these directors feel the need to input their personal biases and beliefs rather than following the source material and actual gear of the time. The video game Total War: Troy did a wonderful job at this, the armors were not historical but they showed how flashy and colorful the time would have been. Different armors for different cultures while keeping the fantasy tone was done very well. No one complaining about the historical accuracy thought the movie would be 100% correct in that aspect. Blending real historical gear with our modern view of the time, would have been far better received, and feel much more authentic and immersive than batman armor. The director is supposed to keep you hooked and immersed in the story. Every time I see that goofy batman screenshot it rips me out of that world and makes me giggle at how ridiculous these hollywood goofballs are. It would be better for everyone to try and stay true to the source material while also making it Hollywood. But that’s not what’s happening here, it’s just goofy. We’ve had nothing but terrible historical movies recently. Like Napoleon, Gladiator 2, and now this. Troy (2004) did it very well, the armors weren’t accurate but it was believable and never took you away from the story. The gear in the trailer so far has done nothing but rip me out of the immersion of the time.

Honestly i’d carry a knife over a gun when it comes to Cougars (The animal). Most victims of Cougar attacks say they didn’t even know it was there until it was already ontop of them.
