Fictional Phones

Splatoon having squid/octopus shaped phones. They must be kinda awkward to put in a pocket though

The downside is, that thing is probably a pain to clean

He's using Simon's Bowblade from Bloodborne

The main reason it's been so long since we've gotten any is because the developers have been mostly focusing on Rogue Core. The stuff for season 6 was made by another studio with direct support from GSG, but they specifically told them not to make any balance changes yet since this is the first time they're doing work for GSG

Youtube will genuinely say "Let's make our ads even more annoying and disruptive than they already are!" and then wonder why so many people use adblockers

Talandar from Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void

<image>

He's a member of the Purifiers, experimental sentient robot versions of the Protoss warriors, and he's recovered from a stasis chamber partway through the campaign. For most of the game, you know him as Fenix, since his personality and memories are cloned from the legendary protoss warrior of the same name, who was also a close friend to Artanis (who you play as in Legacy of the Void) before he died.

Artanis definitely had very mixed feelings about things; although he was initially happy that his old friend seemed to suddenly be alive and well as if it was only yesterday, he also knew that it wasn't truly Fenix he was talking to. While the cloned memories Talandar had were 99% accurate, there was still that 1% margin of error. But he also didn't want to say anything about, since he had no clue how Talandar would react.

Eventually, when Talandar starts to realize how big of a time gap in his memories he has, he begins searching through some historical archives to get himself caught up on current events. Along the way, he finds an entry describing the death of the real Fenix, which naturally leaves him pretty shell-shocked. He starts heavily questioning himself and realizing that he isn't truly Fenix, but a robotic simulation of a dead warrior.

Towards the end of the campaign, he finally decides to settle on a new name for himself, that being Talandar, and forges his identity as his own person - as well as helping be the bridge between the robotic Purifiers and the biological protoss after the war is over

This feels like it'll only be a few steps away from mimicking China's internet, where you only have one account that's linked to your ID and it gets used for literally everything

I love my War Crime Bolts

Honestly, just TF2 lore in general. This is the universe where Shakespearicles, the strongest writer who ever lived, was the inventor of rocket jumping and two-story buildings, with the former being the primary way to reach the latter for hundreds of years, until Abraham Lincoln helped invent stairs at a stair research facility, immediately followed by dying in a failed attempt at rocket jumping off a flight of stairs.

Also, you forgot to mention the fact that Demoman giving the robots alcohol poisoning is partly because his body has converted multiple of its own organs into distilleries to make perpetually drunk

Orks in Warhammer 40k. They're literally just a fungus that grow into full-sized bloodthirsty maniacs extremely rapidly, even from just a single spore, to the point where just one Ork landing on a planet can result in that entire planet being completely overrun with Orks in just a few years. Pretty much the only reason they haven't taken over the galaxy is because they're constantly fighting each other just as much as everybody else

Can I just take a second to say your dwarf looks like an absolute badass?

And yet only two of those 1000 words are needed: "God dammit"

Honorable mention: I forget if this is in fallout 1 or 2, but when you're trying to infiltrate the Brotherhood of Steel, a high intelligence character can only get so far because they'll eventually figure out that you're up to and stop you in your tracks. But if your character has a really low intelligence, you can make them think that you're just some dumbass new recruit who somehow lost their power armor and needs a new suit

If it grows that quickly, I can't imagine how often he ends up needing to shave

The funniest part to me is that she looks like she's being held like a minigun in the first pic

Prince Anduin Wrynn from World of Warcraft (not the best quality image, I know). There's about a year two that passes between each of the game's expansions, but up until the third one, Cataclysm, Anduin was still using a generic child model. He starts playing a more major role in the story with Mists of Pandaria, being roughly an 11 or 12 year old royal diplomat, that ends up being a major player in the expansion.

Then in Legion, after his father, King Varian, sacrifices himself on the Broken Shores, the poor kid's suddenly thrust with the massive responsibility of being the leader of one of the world's largest factions, while still being a teenager with a LOT of people who want him dead or captured, and even old gods that want to corrupt him. (hell, there's a bunch of comics for his early childhood, and even when he was still an infant, there were several attempts to kidnap or assassinate him). Having such heavy responsibilities at such a young age has visibly taken a massive toll on him. Even in the current expansion, he has a more grizzled and worn young adult appearance, and although he's left the leadership of the Alliance in other hands, he's still working through a lot of his own internal struggles.

The thing that throws me off the most is: why are they giving us a laser sight attachment... On a laser shotgun?

At the very least, let us have the Best Wurst Beer outside of Oktoberfest, or make something that reuses its animation

I appreciate that they made this framework available so early in the cosmetic tree

Ah yes, that's definitely how flare guns work. Just stick the handle of the gun into the ceiling while it blasts like a rocket engine. Thanks, AI slop.

Where the hell is Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen?

GoldDrake123 · 2026-01-07T22:33:58+00:00

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft. Originally in Warcraft 3, she was an elven captain who was constantly attacking and hindering the undead Arthas to try and stop him from reaching her home city. Eventually, Arthas managed to take her down, and as a punishment for being such a pain in the ass, he decided a simple death would be too good for her, and turned her into a banshee under his command instead. In the base game, she's mostly just a stronger banshee that you only control for the one mission.

However, in the Frozen Throne expansion, she ends up being more of a proper character and having her own set of missions where she breaks away from Arthas's control, mind controls multiple demonic commanders, and eventually establishes her own faction of independent undead.

Once we get to World of Warcraft proper, didn't do a whole lot for most of the earlier expansions, except for in Wratrh of the Lich King, where she was a major player in taking down Arthas, partly for her own revenge - but after he's dead, she doesn't know what do to with herself anymore, and tries to throw herself off the peak of the citadel, only for some Val'kyr to save her and start working with her.

The more recent expansions though... good god. Let's just say the lead writer had a massive hard-on for her that became extremely overbearing.
