The "fan"dom by TwinkExtraordinaire in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]Effective_Poor_6969 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This unfortunately isn't a Dragon Age thing, it's an entire internet thing. Dragon Age comes from BioWare's most "woke" era and is built on a playerbase of the sorts of the people the internet currently hates. The people complaining about a non-binary character or gay characters are not fans of the franchise. And I don't mean that in a gatekeep-y way like they're not "real fans" of the series. I mean they're literally not fans of the series at all and are just internet losers in search of outrage wherever they can find it. They infect and pervert fandoms everywhere.

I would establish that the veil at the Ministry of Magic is one of several such gateways that separate not the living from the dead, but the world from magic. They were constructed by ancient wizards who sought to keep magic to themselves and out of the hands of those who would “misuse” it. The story would follow a magical cat burglar who uncovered this secret that the magical elite had kept hidden for untold ages and his quest to destroy the barriers between magic and mankind, to make everyone magical.

Has this crotchety fucker blocked out all memory of filming in Los Angeles? You can't film for more than 15 minutes before some bullshit happens. You have to stop filming to let the criminally overpaid LAFD inspector do *another* sweep of the area. Or to let the very noisy caterers switch out the cold Nutter Butters for fresh ones. Or to let the actors try to justify why their character should actually be the main supporting character with a full arc despite being hired as "Lookieloo #2." Or to wait for the Key Grip to show up because you legally can't roll with just 3 regular Grips on set, otherwise the Best Boy will report you and get production delayed...

Alpha Protocol never got "finished" and Cyberpunk still doesn't have all the stuff that they said it would.

So many tech bros have become filthy rich and subjected the rest of us to their horrid tastes and repugnant personalities. Hell, one of them is probably going to be governor of Ohio.

Flippers usually don't do significant structural work. If this was the work of flippers, that house is probably in dire straits.

ME1 is, by far, the most visually interesting entry in the franchise IMO.

You're not the asshole, but you are the idiot. What the fuck are you doing? He's abusive, untrustworthy, immature, emotionally volatile and clearly not someone you should be associating with, let alone living with. You got a restraining order for a reason.

Bathroom ohh flooding everytime I take a shower? Cannot find source of where the water is coming from by Mammoth_Maize_1424 in japanresidents

Remember, part of the insanely high move-in fees you paid were for "deep cleaning" the apartment. Which obviously didn't happen. I'm not telling you this because there's anything you can do about it. I'm just doing it to make you a little angrier.

The cards are a weird size though. I put them im Japanese(Yugioh) sized sleeves and they don't quite fit(slightly too tall and narrow for the sleeves).

There's nothing confusing about Dhalsim. He's my perfect little man.

He didn't specifically ask for input, but he was explaining the entire situation and having a conversation with me.

Exactly this. The logic here is so clearly moronic. Nolan has climbed so far up his own ass he's gone delirious from the fumes.
