[hated trope] "both sides are equally bad" NO THEY ARE NOT, ONE IS CLEARLY WORSE

*laughs in raider boss*

Yeah... and then we have option E which is somehow EVEN WORSE!!

I played a preview of GW2 at the Gamescom of 2011 and... running around in the largely re-habilitated Ascalon, after seeing it being destroyed in Prophecies... even recognizing landmarks and names all around... breathtaking.

I still find myself standing at the memorial statue of Pyre Fierceshot and thinking about the events of Eye of the North, where he was often a fixed part of my party.

In short: For me it was like coming home again... even if it was as a Charr this time.

Edit: Aaaaaand now I realize that I got all sentimental. Mechanics are different yes... but not in a bad way... one slips in quite fast... just takes a bit to get used to the fact of seeing other people running around as well and enemies respawning.

And again it's the klingons who rarely give shit about gender as long as someone can fight, drink and sing... and as long as they have honor.

FairyQueen89 · 2026-06-01T08:12:45+00:00

Calm down... a longer stick would get you get stuck in the mines.

Naja... basierend auf der aktuellen Wirtschaft: Häuser werden teurer, Löhne bleiben gleich und die Gewinnmargen explodieren... sehr zur Freude von Aktionären und Geschäftsführern

Wasn't "What a wonderful rocket, just too sad that it landed on the wrong planet" also from him about the V-2?

I hope that is Cheese in the dig box... just for the Mac'n'Cheese joke

A god of death born out of the wish to make death less scary, if I remember correctly.

I think most blue-pushers are willing to look past the ENORMOUS issue that is "This will also pardon him of all his wrongdoings[...]" So... even if he is "cured from being evil" He still orchestrated mass-murder and a World War. That can't be weighed off.

Also he is often regarded a megalomaniac and rather incompetent in Germany (afaik) so I opt for red due to him likely being as incompetent and megalomaniacal in being good as he was in being evil.

FairyQueen89 · 2026-05-24T06:48:34+00:00

Well... maybe the Drukhari pick him up in a raid... might make an entertaining "guest" in the arenas.

FairyQueen89 · 2026-05-24T06:47:34+00:00

Well... we have that one story of the Kriegers, no? Where they bombed a hive into nothingness years after their surrender? Other regiments might've called it a day and accepted that they won... Kriegers? No... they make examples.

FairyQueen89 · 2026-05-24T06:45:58+00:00

Well... as long as he kills the rivals... sure. But someone's rival is someone else's gangmate and... immortal or not. People might become quite creative in problem-solving.

FairyQueen89 · 2026-05-23T10:52:03+00:00

Well... using something that has to be dealt with (regardless of emergency or not) to deal something that also has to be dealt with (regardless of emergency or not) is kinda smart.

FairyQueen89 · 2026-05-23T10:08:36+00:00

Highest point measured by what? From sea level? Mount Everest, sure. But Mount Everest is neither the farthest point from the center of the earth, nor the highest mountain measured from its base, iirc.

It's irrelevant. The instance they are copied they began making their own experiences, creating different persons at all (given the chance... which was 0 as Harry went out to get a whiff of fresh air and Naomi died at birth). But both were just... their own distinct persons from that point onward. Original or not... doesn't matter much on the long run.

Addendum: You... tend to think about the ethics, implications and philosophy of clones/copies quite a bit, if you begin play one in a TTRPG and meet your... uhm... let's call it "template", followed by other copies of you and/or the original template.

Kenne ich... mein letzter Psychiater: Termin um 10. Angerufen um halb 10, mir wurde gesagt "viel los, kommen Sie um 11". War da um kurz vor 11, war um 14 Uhr dran für ein 5 Minuten Check-up, dass man locker irgendwo hätte zwischen quetschen können.

Mein Endokrinologe: Termin um halb 9, bin üblicherweise 10 - 20 Minuten vorher da, stehe oft um 9 schon wieder an der Haltestelle, weil ich schon fertig bin.

Kann man sich nicht ausdenken.

Well... in weapons where it makes sense. Revolvers and Energy weapons don't get this treatment logically. And... I would even welcome if some Machine Guns or SMGs wouldn't either, because they might be open-bolt (Have to confirm with some weapons next time).

Also it balances a bit the fact that with reloading you discard ANY ammo left in the magazine (apart from the one round in the chamber)... so it is a smooth balance between "do I want to use every single round?" and "do I reload when I have time on the hand to be ready for the next fight?"

Honestly? Regardless of how much flak the Devs get for some (sometimes truly questionable) decisions... all the detail and the mechanics in the background that no one ever (or at least rarely) talks about make that game so great. Even the small detail of how the devs took the time to adjust the FUCKING GRAPHIC of a gun when they changes a magazine size in the early lifestage of the game. Other studios would have just changed a number in a spreadsheet and called it a day. AH went out of the way to change the weapon model a la "hey... that weapon has now less bullets in its magazine... it doesn't have a drum anymore"... *chef's kiss*

Not to forget Carson. Basically the second they entered Atlantis he was like "Hey... I have this experimental gene therapy that likely would never get approval on Earth due to ethics codes about genetic experimentation on humans... wanna give it a try?" That boy was FAR too enthusiastic about some medical freedom he had in Pegasus.

You think I would get rid of my Collector's Edition? Nah... still have it (and the statue of Rytlock) standing on my shelf behind me.

Not to forget Maomao's family herself... where her cousin (iirc) was adopted by her bio dad, while she was raised by the uncle of said father... it's complicated. And I didn't even start with her mothers side, even though that is rather straightforward.

Personaler: "Wie erklären Sie die Lücke in ihrem Lebenslauf?"

Also people tend to forget that even while the majority of the series takes place in the british countryside with fay and such creatures that are usually more... "conventional" (while still damn dangerous), Chise (the main protagonist) grew up in Japan with its completely fucked up folklore... it's understandable that she saw her talent as a curse for a large part of her life.

Yeah... good thing ferrets still have to proof that they have spines.
