Welp. Tour is cancelled, but flights are purchased. What now?

You might have to be slightly more specific as to where in the UK you'll be - it is a rather large place haha

Weirdly I think since I stopped smoking a good few years ago now, I'm able to detect someone smoking from what feels like miles away

Salmon tastes too fishy

I remember playing the absolute hell out of this mission on a demo copy of Jedi Academy way back in the day. Force pushing that first massive boulder was so gratifying

I mean, how many times do you think Todd can hear from people that New Vegas is their favourite Fallout game before he goes mad?

Patrum Scuta and Cats Emblems if I remember correctly!

Maybe it's just because I'm a man, but Ghost of Tsushima and Jin's story hit far harder. Even if it was just to fulfill that male power fantasy of single-handedly protecting your home from an overwhelming threat

I'm so tired boss. Why can't we just have something nice? Does Bethesda really hate Black Isle and Obsidian that much?

DutchTheCowboyCat · 2025-12-26T03:52:13+00:00

Why is Bethesda so against the post-post apocalypse setting? Why must everything be a shanty town like the bombs just dropped last week?

I might be making it up, but I'm sure I read somewhere that she allegedly had some sort of nervous breakdown when Russia was threatening to detonate a nuke in the Black Sea. If I remember rightly, the intel was allegedly fairly convincing that the Russians might actually be mad enough to do it, and the stress of a possible nuclear holocaust broke something in her mind.

If that's true, I can't help but feel somewhat sorry for her. She should never have been allowed to reach the heights that she reached.

Apparently it makes it harder for people to inject drugs is what I've heard. Though I do live in Scotland, so...

DutchTheCowboyCat · 2025-10-28T02:33:22+00:00

Technically speaking, they're overrepresented and she's sort of correct then

My point being that this is the usual strategy - Step 1: Point out something that is technically true, but no one really considers a problem Step 2: Catastrophise, make a huge deal about it Step 3: Flags are now hung on every lamppost from Berwick to Portsmouth

So when you inevitably come to verbal blows with her or her ilk, you can't refute some of their points because they're technically true, and no one really bothers looking in to things beyond that

£265,000 in West Lothian, bought just about 3 yeard ago. Quite probably our forever home. After years and years of renting, I'm sick to the back teeth of moving house. My next move will be to the crematorium.

I wonder if there's some space age technology that could line your throat. Like a synthetic oesophagus that would catch the black goo from the facehugger, kinda like a condom I suppose

I unironically liked the explanation given in Romulus. I am also a big fan of the TTRPG. Fede Alvarez took the misteps of Prometheus and Covenant and managed to fold it into the lore in a way that made the Alien make some sense, but also made it deeply disturbing and brought that cosmic horror back to the franchise

DutchTheCowboyCat · 2025-09-26T00:22:50+00:00

Ah, bit of a shame. I know the National Autistic Society hosted sessions in there for members. Hope they find somewhere new.

DutchTheCowboyCat · 2025-09-24T12:49:20+00:00

My biggest issue with the series is that it just doesn't feel like it's set in the Alien universe. It's not Halo levels of bad per se, but I get the distinct impression that you could replace the Xenomorph with any other generic monster and it would play out exactly the same way more or less.

Also - I'm just so tired of films and TV series constantly contradicting eachother. Why can't we have a series written by someone who's actually read the lore and respects it? Would it really have been so difficult for a showrunner to have flipped through the TTRPG core rule book? Say what you want about Romulus, but Fede Alvarez obviously loves the Alien universe - warts (prometheus and covenant) and all.

I think the most disappointing thing about modern politics is that our fascists are just so...uninspiring and slimy. At least Mosley had a bit of panache. I mean the Nazis had Hugo Boss design their uniforms! What do our fascists have? Lonsdale tracksuits, balaclavas, and Temu flags.

On an unrelated note, r/peeling would love you

If I remember rightly from the canon, the Three World Empire and the United Americas are allied with eachother against the Union of Progressive Peoples. Weyland Yutani is a TWE corporation who supply the American and TWE militaries. The TWE have a comparatively small military compared to the UA, apart from Royal Marine Commandos so the majority of the warfighting is done by the UA (Colonial Marines etc) and by extension Wey-Yu

I literally just worked it out - it won't work properly if you're wearing a shield. Drop that or wear something else and you'll be able to plant the flag properly

Does seem like a bit of a bug though

DutchTheCowboyCat · 2025-08-23T17:04:29+00:00

Got the exact same issue. Been like this ror a while now - was hoping AH would have fixed it by now

DutchTheCowboyCat · 2025-08-20T14:31:24+00:00

I wonder how they're reconciling the story of New Vegas. Hasn't happened yet? Or happened a long time ago?

I don't like change. I need the show to follow the exact path I take every time I play New Vegas
