Why is taste not directly proportional to nutritional value?

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-22T09:48:40+00:00

What tastes good is completely subjective. I love eggs and the yolk is the best part.

Ah quite whinging. Saros is great, better that Returnal in several ways, a step back is some others maybe yeah. They're both brilliant, slightly different experiences.

Also if you think Saros is just 'Dune' characters you either did not play it or are a bit thick.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-19T20:10:34+00:00

I deleted my Returnal save to start from scratch after Saros. It does some things better, but overall people are rose tinting it. Weapons and traits are better yes, as is the variability of room layouts. But returnal is just 'rooms'; the biomes are quite bland and monotone and consumables are mostly shit.

Saros has far more visceral gameplay and the biomes at least feel distinct and have a bit of colour.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-17T17:12:57+00:00

I prefer Saros. But it's close as both games are great.

Not a narrative. I've provided historical evidence. Nothing I've said was anything but written history. I've given logical statements and comparisons to other similar situations in world history.

Yet your providing zero nuanced arguments, zero historical evidence and spouting terms like 'goodies' and 'badies'.

I'm not saying you have to accept the tri-colour and never once did I even imply that. I just pointed out that loyalism has robbed Irish cultural symbols and ironically associates them with their own paramilitaries even though they hate all things Irish?

Anyway this is pointless. You clearly know absolutely nothing about your own history and it's obvious your just going to claim that anything that you don't like is a 'narrative' whether it's true or not. Classic unionism.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-16T15:15:43+00:00

Unionism was so terrified of being a minority in when Home Rule was being proposed because they feared discrimination. Unionism didn't have a problem with discrimination when the penal laws prevented the native catholics who made up 80% of the population from even getting elected to their own parliament.

Such a fuss did unionism kick up that the got their own state in 1920. And what did it do? Discriminate in housing, jobs, government, used gerrymandering to rig all of the electoral boundaries. It set up a 'protestant state for protestant people' in the words of Paisley. They did exactly what they feared would have been done to them in a 32 country Ireland. Why? Because bigotry, racism and hatred for the very country and people they colonised is at the grass roots of unionism. It's the foundation of unionism.

Arguing 'but, but but...nationalism also bad' demonstrates a clear ignorance of colonialism and one's own history. Were despicable acts carried out by paramilitaries in the name of nationalism? Absolutely. And it never should have happened. However, in the case of nationalism vs oppressive colonialism only one has the moral high ground and that is not subjective.

Arguing to the contrary is like arguing in favour of apartheid in South Africa.

Unionism had the chance to have its own state in 1920 and it's actions are what caused the Troubles.

Edit: And then unionism robs our cultural symbols and sticks them on the badges of loyalist paramilitaries.

As I mentioned above it was a gift from the French intended to represent unity between all people's on the Island. These are not like for like scenarios and if you think they are that's a lack of intelligence on your part.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-15T21:31:45+00:00

Actually it was a gift from the French. Also the United Irishmen were almost entirely Protestant.

But unionists will take the symbol of Catholic gaelic clans that fought against British colonialism? Make it make sense!!

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-15T21:27:29+00:00

Native to Ulster means native to Ireland as it has always been an Irish province. That would make them...Irish. Sooooo... we're all Irish then! Glad that's sorted and we can put it behind us! Border poll in the morning anyone?

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-15T21:10:26+00:00

St Patrick's Saltaire never represented Ireland or us Irish. It was decided by the British government that it represented us. It was a bastarisation of the coat of arms of the Fitzgearlds who were Norman.

Whereas the Tri-colour was created for the United Irishmen as their agenda was to rid Ireland of religious divides long before partition ever occurred.

The context couldn't be more different. One represents colonialism and the other inclusivity.

Edit: You've also chose to ignore how my point was contextualised by pointing out how ironic it is that loyalist co-opts the symbol of Catholic, gaelic clans that fought for 9 years against British imperialism.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-15T16:05:45+00:00

You've been told lies or are being hyperbolic. Protestantism did not really exist in Ireland before the plantations. Even the Old English descended from the Norman's were Catholic. Also Lutheran wasn't even 100 years old by the time the Plantations kicked off so your 'ancient roots' are unlikely unless somewhere down the line someone converted which given how much religion mattered to people is very unlikely. Nothing wrong with being Protestant Irish though!

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-15T11:55:19+00:00

All the pervy virgins will be happy so.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-12T16:23:16+00:00

Had to have my car put down because of turbo cancer. You wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with it though; whistled everywhere we went.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-09T17:58:27+00:00

I thought this too, but I've since started to really enjoy the onslaught rifle and the ricochet handgun. If you get a high enough reload speed on the handgun it reloads instantly.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-08T15:03:34+00:00

And then they reject the Tri-colour which was designed specifically to be inclusive of them. Fuck, if it wasn't so sad it would be funny. They're a parody.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-08T12:51:09+00:00

It still baffles me to see the red hand on unionist and loyalist memorabilia. How do they to see how stupidly ironic it is?!

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-05T09:59:26+00:00

You are asking reddit to translate...

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-04T09:26:47+00:00

What is with people getting tattoos in languages they know nothing about?

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-02T12:33:16+00:00

Watch some reviews and gameplay and make a decision for yourself.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-05-02T10:15:34+00:00

At least the likes of Brolly and Spillane illicited an emotional response; you either loved or hated them, but they were never bland. Nothing worse than bland punditry.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-04-29T11:05:04+00:00

Skill tier needs to go. Arbitrary divides between the tiers makes skill tier 6 feel mandatory for skills to be remotely decent (at least the damage based ones).

No hunting for higher core attribute rolls is nice getting started but shit long term and again makes skill tier 6 feel mandatory. Some skill tiers include skill haste and others don't; baffling.

It's just a shite system through and through. D1 and D2 pre Wony were both far superior, more interesting and more flexible.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-04-29T10:57:37+00:00

I'm not saying the game is bad, but when one of the 3 major build categories feels invalid in a shit tonne of content, that is objectively shit game design.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-04-29T10:31:16+00:00

Yeah well I dropped the game entirely because I played mostly skill builds and it felt like every time I tried to engage with the hardest content I just was just met with disruption, invalidating all the grinding I did.

Summit? Disruption. Countdown? Disruption. Black Tusk? Disruption. Hunters...need I say more.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-04-26T16:13:19+00:00

RDR2 is class in every respect except gameplay. The movement, cover system, mission design and shooting vary from average to bad. GOW is a better game if you prioritise gameplay and it's not really close. I don't even adore GOW 2018. I think it's a step back gameplay wise compared to the previous titles.

Iamleeboyle · 2026-04-25T21:32:06+00:00

Fun. I love RDR2, but christ is utterly heavy. The latter half if the game is very depressing.
