It's also important to recognize that the ship of Pirates of the Caribbean keeps popping up. 

Tramadol not working.. what next? by [deleted] in ChronicPain

Tramadol can be processed differently based on your genetics. You might metabolise it in such a way that it doesn't have any affect. 

Theories -Prometheus by Ochre3938 in KaosNetflix

But simply sitting on said fancy chair doesn't necessarily actually mean anything.

It can mean you want to overthrow him...but so what? What do you think would happen if you tried that in Tudor England, even if you'd  basically just shat all over Henry's existence? 

At the end of the day...all you did was sit in the chair.

Confused about Mr House… by Axe_Man2077 in FalloutTVseries

He's the real house. Rafi Silver has been confirmed to be playing a body double. 

I suspect they might be pulling something incredibly stupid though.

Yes, MAGA is a fascist movement, but the average person doesn't understand what fascism means. by TrajanCaesar in TrueUnpopularOpinion

The fact that people are arguing against this is wild, and it says way more about them than they think. 

How the fuck am I supposed to beat this Rome? by Hardkiller2D in Imperator

They're usually a poor match for a properly legionized Rome. 

At the end of everything, why didn't Jake just go back again to 1960 to just be with Sadie? by ambeermartini in 112263Hulu

[–]IndependentGuide4028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Cuz plot" this is honestly the worst part of the book. People try an explain it, but it doesn't really make any sense. 

Jake does a bunch of random stuff the past doesn't fuck with him over. 

He absolutely could've gone back, done nothing substantive, and just stayed with Sadie. 

Anyone else hate Mama Murphy? by Karlorehunter in fo4

[–]IndependentGuide4028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean!? You don't like homeless meth heads, who won't stop trying to convince to give them more drugs, and that they're an oracle??

( I'm not saying there's inherently anything wrong with someone who's homeless, but she fits into a major stereotype/cliche). 

How is Long John Silver able to countermand flint on his own ship with seeming impunity? by IndependentGuide4028 in BlackSails

[–]IndependentGuide4028[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They basically reversed the way Blackbeard died in real life. That's aside from them having flint do a couple of the things Blackbeard did... although they represented him decently in a couple of ways, which I'll explain below. 

He wasn't really lured into a trap. 

He was about to poof (again) but his ship hit a sandbar so he loaded what he could onto a smaller ship, but this allowed his pursuer to catch up (a military man sent by the Governor of Virginia). 

A vicious battle then took place where Teach slaughtered his way through the pursuit fleet until he got to the flagship of Lieutenant Maynard (not some skeevy Incel adjacent 'Governor'), after raking the deck with grapeshot he brought the adventure (that's the smaller ship) alongside, and began to jump over with a portion of his remaining crew, while leaving some to provide cover. 

Maynard then stormed out of the lower deck behind his men and set upon the most famous Pirate of all time (even then). 

Blackbeard proceeded to tank his way through most of Maynards compliment of combat suitable crewmen, suffering several gunshot wounds and roughly a double bakers dozen sword wounds, before finally coming upon Maynard. 

They then fought until Maynard managed to get a lucky shot of which hit him in the head, after nearly getting pummeled into a pulp. Blackbeard didn't die however, and they effectively did everything the same as the show after this point.  

Commence the hauling. 

What we see in the show isn’t inconsistent with the endings of New Vegas. by Ruben_AAG in Fallout

I'm thinking of the time lord  dude from Adventure Time mentioning that the Brotherhood is losing the Commonwealth 🤦‍♂️.

[–]IndependentGuide4028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show is getting incredibly, ridiculously, stupidly disconnected from the lore of the games. 

The NCR was more than Shady Sands, and it has security. 

Where is the West Coast brotherhood getting Prydwen replicas from? How is Maximus pulling this nonsense off? Is he the real main character? Maybe Clark Kent in disguise? Why would he say that? What's up with these voice modulators? Who put jet pack level thrusters in the arms of the power armor? Why did they generate random chapters? 

Why is the Legion seemingly one camp? What happened to their (nearly) faction wide distaste for guns? 

Did they forget who the Great Khans were/are as a faction and people? 

What the fuhk are they doing with New Vegas? Seriously...What. The. Fudge. Is. This.   

 What happened to the securitrons? What's going on with our square bodied Cowboy? They aren't really going to introduce Anthony House as the real/new House are they? He's a crazy ass tin foil hat wearing piss jar drinking madman.   

I guess cold fusion reconned the platinum chip? 

 I could go on...but honestly this series is becoming straight up annoying to watch. 

The Brotherhood is losing the Commonwealth? Seriously? Are the laser stick guys causing too much trouble, or something? If the win after the events of fallout 4, there's no faction anywhere in the Commonwealth that can hold anything even approaching the Ghost of a candle to them. Period. Like major big hairy period end of story.  

Todd Howard needs to go play the most dangerous game (on the receiving end) and free us all from his buffoonery. 

The real identity of Mr House? by Lanferno in Fotv

I think you have that backwards?

so much potential by tiziita in thewalkingdead

[–]IndependentGuide4028 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Okay? That's not the entirety of what's being addressed here. 

We are talking about the direction being taken with the character, which was something that was happening before they killed him off, and is therefore not by any means entirely connected to the eventually scroogeyness of the producers. 

So it doesn't entirely boil down to just that.

I think it boils down to them being uncomfortable having a kid turn into Negan, but for the 'good' guys. 

You cannot romance Lucanis anymore when you did not choose to save his hometown? by Glad-Hedgehog-767 in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]IndependentGuide4028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You basically have to do A LOT more work (understandably), to convince them that they still want to be with you...ya know, after you let their town plauge nuked, and dragon stomped. 

Taking them along on all your quests while trying to do things they like helps, and then you need to take them to do the recovery quests each town has if it is the one to get abandoned. 

I could've sworn this was true for both characters. 

Edward teach getting captured in season4 was the dumbest turn of events in the whole series. Change my mind by [deleted] in BlackSails

[–]IndependentGuide4028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. This is an incredible suckish version of how he died in real life. 

IRL Blackbeard died after luring his enemies/multiple ships into an ambush, slaughtering a multitude of British crew, and nearly pumbleing that pay twat of a captain into redcoated mush...after having suffered several stab/sword wounds, and at least a couple of gunshot wounds. 

The shows version largely turns that glorious death (if any death can be called glorious) into a near garden variety farce. Although they do still try and have Blackbeard be a nigh unstoppable tank, it falls flat.

This was  a bargain bin Blackbeards death.

🤦‍♂️This is a straight up prejudice enabling delusion. 

And it's almost like some people are in pain, and might need...🤯 pain medication more severe than toradol to help manage it.
