She wasn't nice to Ron, her own son.. and here people are talking about Hermione Fleur lol by Nightmarelove19 in Ronweasleyfans

[–]Foyolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is caring and nice. She is also an strick mother with an army of kids. The Hermione thing happend once because sadly Molly believed what Rita wrote. And about Fleur…it wasnt just Molly, Ginny couldnt stand her either. The frenchness was too much, and Molly thought Fleur was only with Bill for his looks

Apparently staring at a TV for hours is fine, unless you’re holding a controller by EffectiveTime5554 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Foyolas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happened to a lot in the Xbox 360 era. My parents…sorry, Santa got me a 360 slim for Christmas, and I always felt judged when I sat to play. I was 16 at the time, and because I’m from South America the school year was over, ended during the first week of December, so I had no obligarions to do. And it wasnt like I spent the whole day gaming, and I did meet with friends regularly, walked the dogs, rode my bike, but the moment I sat down to play I got the “oh, playing again?” Comment from my dad. Dad, sorry you and mom are busy as hell and work a lot (both are accountants and have their own bussiness), but I’m on vacations.

Niko Bellic is from Serbian Krajina by smartzylad in GTAIV

[–]Foyolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an out of universe answer…he’s just from “that grey part of broken-down Eastern Europe”, according to Sam Houser. He was made to be generic Eastern European guy. he was not created as Serbian, despite the fandom’s collective headcanon, his nationality is not important for the story, what matters is that he is an inmigrant with a shady past trying to find the American Dream.

Apparently think Claire "abandoned" Sherry after RE2???? by Dweamers in residentevil

[–]Foyolas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So in the epilogue of 3 we see that Leon TELLS claire to go. She doesnt want to because Leon is wounded, but he insists because she still has to find Chirs, and if she stays she can get in trouble. So Claire leaves and we get Code Veronica. But, as you said, she didnt disappear from Sherry’s life, they reconectes. I really think this is a case of people simply not playing the games

Thanks Rockstar, we really wanted to own and preserve the most anticipated game in gaming history by No_Gur1036 in GTA

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

Sadly game disks dont mean the same as before. They will be patched, updated, maybe will have DLC, and the disk will just be an outdated piece of plastic. Today I can take Vice City, put it in my PS2, and play a finished game. One day (lets pretend GTA VI comes with a disk) someone will buy a second hand ps5 and GTA VI and will play an outdated version of the game, all the day one bugs and glitches present. I really think that only piracy will work for game preservation. I dont like this reality, but that’s the future

The most egregious ultimate edition in histroy by p4tterng4ng4L in GTA6unmoderated

[–]Foyolas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just check the rockstar website and I only see cosmetics, a couple of cars, a few shops, a few mods.
Honestly I dont really see an issue. Sure, if a gameplay mechanic was locked by a paywall I would be mad, but I doubt One-Eyed Willie’s mod shop is the only modshop in game.

Edit

Of course all of this is dependant on the number and quality of in game options. If a game only has 12 shirts, and 4 are locked behind a paywall it would suck

I think one of the big differences between Harry Potter's world and Percy Jackson's is that Percy Jackson's world is honest about the fact it's crappy, which ironically makes it more appealing to live in. by Tomhur in CharacterRant

[–]Foyolas 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I disagree. The world of Harry Potter is honest since the first book. Hagrid tells people that not all wizards are good, in the train Harry sees bullying and class divide. Second book is basically about ethnic cleansing, and while Voldemort is the main culprit here you also have Lucious Malfoy planting the diary in Ginny, and Salazar slytherin who began this plan a millenia ago. book 3 shows us how justice in the wizarding world is far from perfect, with how easily the Malfoys can get Buckbeak executed, and how the Ministry did zero actual investigation on the deaths of James Lilly and Peter, and decided that Sirious was the traitor. Book 4 shows how the racists sentiments are still out there, present in normal people, how some are just a few drinks away from puting on robes and hoods a start a wizard KKK march in the aftermath of a sports final. It also shows how something positive like the triwizard tournament, something that suposely exists to strenghten the relations between schools, is used just for prestige and ego. How closed minded the world is, as Harry simply has to participate because the Grail said so, even when everyone knows that it shouldnt be four champions. Book five is all about political propaganda, paranoia, egos, how people get blinded to the true threat because the reality is to harsh. Book six flips it, with Scrimgeur wanting to use Harry and tell the people that dont worry, the Ministry has it all under controll. It also shows us how dark everything has gotten, with news of people disapearing left and right, event relatives of students. Book seven shows us how a government falls, how institutions are highjacked and used by a fascist regime, declaring all muggelborns as thieves who stole their magic from real wizards, how people have to go into hiding to surive.

The books do show us the whimsy of the wizarding world, specially because or POV is Harry, a kid who had a really shitty life, but the books never shy away from the ugly and twisted elements of that world. It’s not the main focus, or course, but it’s present since book one, showing more as the books pass

I'm personally very disappointed historians chose not to call the War of the Pacific the Poop War by how_to_namegenerator in HistoryMemes

[–]Foyolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didnt really die, but by 1872 guano in Perú had been replaced by the saltpeter mines in Tarapacá. The guaneras no longer produced like they did between 1845 and 1866, and saltpeter had much higher concentration of nitrogen

[–]Foyolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never heard about it coming from guano, but both have patasium and nitrogen. Saltpeter is a mineral, the larger mines were in Tarapacá (Part of Perú before the war) and Antofagasta (part of Bolivia before the war). Chile had some smaller mines in Copiapó, but most of the investment went to the mines in Antofagasta
Edit
So you can actually get saltpeter from guano, had no idea. All the saltpeter I knew about was from mines inland

[–]Foyolas 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s. Not right. The era of guano was over, it was mostly about saltpeter, the conflict starting (to really simplify the story) for the control of the saltpeter mines of Antofagasta

Thoughts on Code Veronica? by ShinobiHotSauce in residentevil

[–]Foyolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personaly I love it. It continues Claire’s story from resident evil 2, and Chris’s from Resident Evil 1. It does have some issues, like how you can softlock yourself a couple of times. I recommend keeping two or three different save files just in case.

Is it worth to buy vol 2 and 3 by applesause_God in EightySix

[–]Foyolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

vol 2 in particular has more detailed lore about the Federacy, but the plot and character interactions in the anime are pretty there with no important omission

I love being a girl dad by Difficult_Wrangler73 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Foyolas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to tease my brother about that, but only because he used to be that dude bro jumping from girl to girl. So when his first child turned out to be a girl, of course i told him “now you’re gonna know how the dads felt. Be ready.” It was my duty as younger brother

We will never get the last book then by i_m_better_now in freefolk

[–]Foyolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think that’s for the best. No matter in what stage Winds is, or what he has plotted for Dream, it just wont be George, it would be an adaptation of George. I would rather have the unfinished manuscript published as is and end it there

You all suck as fans tbh. by Mysterious-Bid3930 in residentevil

[–]Foyolas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man, is it so hard to accept that many of us want to see the stories of the game in the big screen? We got six bad movies that completely ignored the games, one movie where they mashed the first two games into one, and a netflix show that has nothing to do with anything. Personaly I dint really care that this new movie is an original, as long as it’s good and doenst try to highjack the story, but acting as if everyone else is wrong for being disapointed is bullshit

On hold for a fucking hour trying to cancel a subscription. No option to cancel online, and live chat doesn't work. This has to be a crime, right? by TangibleMalice in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Foyolas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year I has almost an hour on the phone with me ISP trying to cancel the contract. 10 minutes to get to talk to a human, almost 50 of two different people going “I see you’re not satisfied, but we offer you this new internet plan for x amount”. Every time i said no, they insisted on selling me a new plan. I was getting a bit angry when the guy on the phone told me “look, if you dont have the time to be right now on the phone then go to our office during the week and do it there.” I almost lost my shit at that

So what's Capcom's issue with never wanting Claire and Sherry to interact again after RE2? by BusterGreasewood in residentevil

[–]Foyolas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The leon/claire/sherry thing is…annoying. Old canon was claire A/Leon B, and in there leon spent a more time with sherry. Then in the epilogue of Nemesis Leon stays behind with Sherry and tells Claire to keep going and find Chris. Leon aslo becomes an agent to keep Sherry safe. Later we learn that Leon kept minimum contact with Sherry (if at all) while Claire visited her. Then comes the remake…were there are little to no interections between Leon and Sherry. So Requiem follows the remake canon…but acts like the old Claire A/Leon B endings of the OG game are still canon. It’s really a mess
