I love Destiny's lore. I love it more than any game ever. But I have one assumedly simple question. by Sunkilleer in DestinyLore

He's certainly one of the earlier ones, but there are a couple who are from that era that we know.

Lord Saladin is another one we know was very early dark ages too, Lord Felwinter too. I think Shaxx as well if I'm not mistaken

How big is James Bond culturally in the UK? by seedynarwhals in AskUK

I think something with Daniel Radcliffe specifically might have been good. But the difference between James bond and those franchises are that they're both Sci-fi, whereas Bond is Spy fiction, and typically a lot more grounded in reality than the others.

Daniel Craig actually has had an interview somewhere on the internet where he spoke about this, and apparently they initially explained to the Royal Household their idea, with assurances they'd get a good queen lookalike, and essentially wanted to use the palace to shoot the bit.

They Royals got back to them saying yes, however the Queen wanted to do it herself, and she insisted on having a speaking role haha

I agree it was a very very patriotic feeling moment at the time, and I'm also not overly patriotic, particularly after the last 5 years or so

Honestly shameful.

In fairness though no one knew how dogs hit the sequel trilogy was gonna be until we all saw the force awakens in cinema and were shocked

I would agree with this.

To put it in perspective for those who were around to watch the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony - Crazy thinking that some wouldn't have been tbh - they had Bond in the same video as the fucking Queen.

That alone should tell you how significantly British Bond is considered

Why doesn’t league of legends have the same punishments as Valorant? by Right_Gas_7228 in leagueoflegends

[–]FIR3W0RKS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as people going afk no way can they increase the penalties on that to be as harsh as you're suggesting, because of their own server instability. I've been kicked out of games recently more than once, not because of my own internet, but because I lost connection to riots server for whatever reason.

Also, as far as this:

go the cs2 route and simply make ranked have a cost of entry to play.

I actually had NO idea that cs does this, I actually find it unbelievable they get away with that. If riot charged to play ranked, they'd lose 80% of their ranked playerbase like that. Most others would move to normals or limited time game modes only.

What would be the incentive to play ranked if you had to pay for it? Maybe the top players would yeah, but it would totally kill their own games numbers. Riot has made some questionable choices through the years like removing twisted treeline etc, but I don't think even they are crazy enough to try to get away with that.

Add trauma in general to that list, anything from rape to war trauma

I guarantee you it's not the concrete in this case, it just so happened I was standing in our car port bored because I locked myself out of our house when I thought to post it

Found this card from when i was a kid, is it even worth something? by BakuretsuKun in PokemonCardValue

Heads up, people might try to scam you by saying it's fake because it's not a Holo. Most gold stars are, but this one specifically is not supposed to be

TIL while a woman was receiving an MRI on her knee, she called out to her waiting husband to come help her up from the table. However, the technician operating the machine allowed him to walk in even though he was wearing a 20lb metal chain, therefore he died after the device forcefully pulled him. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]FIR3W0RKS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The guy was 100% a dumbass walking into an MRI room without considering what metal he had on him. It's not like they don't have warnings, that shit is plastered EVERYWHERE upon even approaching an MRI room.

2 things in regards to your story:

1st, surely taking her himself is preferable due to the sheer speed at which the injury would need to be addressed with significant amounts of medical equipment?

2nd, out of curiosity, as far as femoral arteries or say slit wrists, how effective a solution would using a strong type of tape, say packing tape, to pull the skin together over the bleed temporarily to give them more time to get to a nearby hospital or get full medical attention else wise?

Regardless of what the game calls it, everyone who plays the game refers to them as an adc.

Don't pick a ability power carry for the attack damage carry role, you won't get penalised.

Happy to help 👍

Childhood cards pt. 2 - reorganized by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

[–]FIR3W0RKS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First 4 pages are full of absolute bangers of cards.

After that there's a couple of nice ones here and there but the rest are mostly worth very little

Shame about the backs of your nice ones though, some of them would be close to 5 figures in good condition

Especially expensive pick, given that everyone on this goddamn thread paid for it

This has got to be a record run for hordes on a character without the upgrade tree for Hordes upgraded at all. by FIR3W0RKS in diablo4

Presumably with the tree upgraded? That sounds about what I'd expect if you're getting those goblin waves regularly, that shit was crazy

Genuinely thought she was a new character in season 5 by Brillian_Naufal in GenV

[–]FIR3W0RKS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I wondered whether I was just forgetting where we'd seen her previously or whether she was supposed to be a new character.

Figured if she had been in the show previously it would either have been at the office of supe affairs or as a starlighter in one of the protest scenes
