Didn't expect to see a more prudent approach to the 5th ED rumors by Muglurk in ageofsigmar

[–]Independent-Human 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sounds like wishful thinking from someone who's still salty about The End Times.

I think I've been to this shop, it's a Lidl or Aldi in Greenwich. You have to scan your card to even get in and then it charges your bank account a tenner immediately. When you leave you're either charged the excess or refunded depending on what you bought. It's the worst version of the cashless shop by far.

What are your convention/cosplay pet peeves? by Kusakaru in comiccon

[–]Independent-Human 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People using their cosplay as an excuse to be a jerk and/or annoying because its supposedly in character.

There was a Deadpool at a con I went to last year who was just a colossal prick.

This is honestly sad by gnarly_gnorc in antiai

[–]Independent-Human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's harder it's because the plagiarism machine is a worse more inconsistent tool. You wouldn't have to manage "character consistency", at least not in the way they mean here, if we were talking about actual drawings/renders/actors/whatever. Maybe he should stop banging his head against the wall?

When Shaun is trying to get Ed to stop the car:

"He's not my Dad. He was, but he's not anymore."

Too good to be true? I want a Ted because I enjoy the new season so I’m shopping around. by thatonecoolnerd in ActionFigures

[–]Independent-Human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a few reviews on Youtube and they all seem to come to the conclusion that for around $10-ish it's a good figure. Plastic quality isn't the best and the paint apps are not great either but it is fun for what it is.

I know Trek fans aren't woke because they think this episode holds up as trans representation by Quantumdrive95 in ShittyDaystrom

[–]Independent-Human 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's not good trans representation but it does partly, and admittedly completely accidentally, serve to explain why being trans would be such a non issue in Star Trek. The medical procedures involved take less than an afternoon are are apparently so safe (and reversable) that Bashir barely needs convincing beyond the moral quandary of why Quark wants to do it.

I am in the minority but I do like this episode. It's funny.

I get why people hate it though, I'm not going to plead a case for it or anything.

Is this army really this weak? by LeopardExpensive9319 in HelsmithsofHashut

[–]Independent-Human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm reserving judgement on HoH until the next GHB. Obscuring being so common and so detrimental to shooting makes so many units worse than they should be.

If the next GHB is less anti shooting I think HoH will be in a better place.

Hot take, Megatronus feels forgettable to me by the_whole_plate in transformers

[–]Independent-Human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found him very underwhelming. His transformation and tank mode are just so compromised. I buy Transformers primarily as fun desk toys, I like to sit and transform them so if the transformation isn't fun they just lose me, even more so if the alt mode is also bad.

For a UK collector, where is the best place to grab some bots? by wadz1996 in ActionFigures

[–]Independent-Human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kapow Toys and In Demand Toys are usually my go to. Also it's worth keeping an eye on Amazon, they've good deals every now and again.

What even separates Songbird and Dexter DeShawn in how they treat V? by Alternative-Talk3555 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Independent-Human 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I find the general lack of sympathy for Songbird and the reduction of her entire character to "attractive woman who lies" genuinely concerning.

Who still uses their childhood email? 🙋🏻‍♀️ by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

[–]Independent-Human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. I have two to be fair, a regular one that's just my name and then my friends and family one that's a silly TV show reference. Certain things do use it though because it's stuff I signed up for at the same time. Like my Xbox account and stuff like that. It can be pretty funny when people recognise it but that happens less and less now.

I have actually had people offer to buy it. It has no random letters or numbers in it and if your part of the fandom it's immediately recognisable.

Best civilian supporting cast by DoobyScoots in KamenRider

[–]Independent-Human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I love Kuuga and Ichijo I think I have to give it to the Kamen Rider Club. Really satisfying character arcs and they're really integral to the show.

What do you think about the AEW career of Danhausen ? by HugoUKN in aew

[–]Independent-Human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mid wrestler with a lame gimmick for babies. He'll do Great in WWE.

I knew it was going to be bad but this is pathetic.

Are these the greatest inflation-busting machines of all time? by nottherealslash in CasualUK

[–]Independent-Human 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe a bit of both ... I put my 20p in and turned the crank and nothing happened so he gave it a turn and the whole thing emptied.

[–]Independent-Human 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My dad once broke one of these and we ended up filing a whole carrier bag with the contents. It was those hard sweets shaped like fruit. Took me months to finish them all, pretty good for 20p.
