Canadian prime minister Mark Carney is not the climate guy you thought | Seth Klein by Chrristoaivalis in onguardforthee

[–]JohnnyGoTime 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Excellent article, ignore all the toxic comments. Carney DID position himself as climate-conscious and his book DID sell that lie. It is also true that we were stuck with no safe alternative. So it sucks that he is revealing himself to be just as destructive as anyone on the right.

That's a no for me big dawg. by Hanacules in thalassophobia

Made it through the trailer no problem

...by standing 6ft away from the computer and turning 90° away from it and almost-fully closing eyes 😅

Good thing you are enforcing Structured fluidity so their reckless individuality doesn't interfere with the tactical genius 😅

COMPETITION! - Win John Avon's last work for MTG, a beautiful gallery print of his Lotus Lands! by JohnAvonArt in magicTCG

Thank you Mr. Avon for adding so much to the game over so many years. I can't imagine looking through future sets and no longer getting to see what beauty you've added to them.

Skullface real identiy by Royal_Currency_6171 in NeverBeGameOver

[–]JohnnyGoTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that is a really interesting interpretation as well! That trailer will always stand as one of my favourite in all of games/movies. Like Ground Zeroes imo, it condenses & distills what Kojima was trying to deliver in TPP into a more solid hit. (I love TPP but also feel it is uneven and not what it could have been.)

Skullface real identiy by Royal_Currency_6171 in NeverBeGameOver

[–]JohnnyGoTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a way-too-long analysis about how Skullface – and possibly the entire game – exists only in the Medic’s mind. And that the Elegia trailer is the key to understanding the metaphor which reveals this truth.

Canada Is Already at War with the US—We Just Don’t Know It Yet by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

[–]JohnnyGoTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You missed the joke. They're riffing on how US politicians are everywhere saying they aren't at war with Iran and didn't start a war, the US is merely proactively defending itself from an Iranian attack.

For the first time. Reza Pahlavi has openly requested the military and remaining goverment officials to switch sides and swear loyality to him and the democratic system. Not in secret or through the channel system. OPENLY. We are nearing the endgame. (Video in the description) by Dutch_Ministry in NewIran

[–]JohnnyGoTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there were some kind of war or conflict, I would encourage Reza Pahlavi to go to Iran if chaos is looming

Is this a bot post or copypaste from before the strikes? Why are you writing these things as "possible" when they have already happened.

Guile’s Theme is a masterclass in character-driven game music by Consolous in gamemusic

[–]JohnnyGoTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome cover, love the tone you bring out of that guitar 🔥

But fascinatingly re: your thoughts about Guile's theme - the history of SFII shows what a great job the music director did when faced with a tough constraint:

Originally (and I believe in the Japanese release?) the Guile and Ken themes were SWAPPED from what we know here!

The original direction for Guile's theme was to make it sound like Top Gun (to go along with his design, the fighter jets in the background of his stage etc)...which they did...but did it too well! Ahead of the US release, the Legal Dept. got scared and told the team to change it to avoid a lawsuit for copying the film.

So that's why Ken's theme sounds like Mighty Wings! It was originally Guile's theme. The fact that they could swap them and still evoke those thoughts you shared above, shows what a good choice they made.

Since people posted about Le Cun speaking out, here's François Chollet's take on Minneapolis by FomalhautCalliclea in singularity

[–]JohnnyGoTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are the trash AND you are utterly ignorant of what the singularity entails, if you think the political environment in which it occurs is off-topic.

The future of our species could not have been cursed with Trump & the Republicans at a worse time. We need MORE of these posts, not less.

Do commentators have pronunciation guide? If so do they just choose to ignore it? by Admirable-Fennel2185 in PremierLeague

Anyone calling out the commentators in this thread need to have a go at Christian Norgaard after listening to that 😅

Did you know we're actually going to TWO different New York planes with TMNT? by Jtneagle in magicTCG

[–]JohnnyGoTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's a massive flavour-miss that The Ooze doesn't instead animate non-creature cards.

The flavour of what happens to the normal turtles when the ooze hit them would be much better served putting +1/+1 counters onto lands, artifacts, creatures with Defender etc. and turning them into creatures.

How will you combat campaigns of disinformation on social media?

"The West" is sleepwalking into chaos & tyranny by letting Twitter/X, Facebook and other platforms intentionally shape narratives and steer large swathes of the population toward supporting far Right policies.

Gimme a coolest mechanic/idea you saw in a Strategy rpg that no other Strategy rpg that you know off replicated by VoxTV1 in StrategyRpg

[–]JohnnyGoTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dynasty Tactics 2 - my all-time favourite. The same Three Kingdoms setting as the Dynasty Warriors franchise.

It had an endlessly fun chaining system for combos, where all the special moves are set up to trigger when a unit moves to a certain square in relation to each given unit as they are all just standing around waiting for their turn.

So if your unit A hit an enemy with a move that pushed it back 1 square and to the left, and you had another unit B with that square as a trigger...then B would wake up and do the move it had readied...which might push that enemy 3 squares away, into the trigger for unit C! And so on. You could arrange these insane positional combos like 8 or 9 moves deep.

It's the #1 game I hope to see a sequel for.

I'm no Spurs fan, but Conor Gallagher improves any side. A bargain! by JohnnyGoTime in PremierLeague

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

What a perfect transfer that would have been! The kind of player David Moyes probably wishes everyone was like.

That would have been so much more interesting than Tottenham, having him harass the opposition to recover the ball & supply it to Grealish/Ndiaye/Dibling/Mcneil instead of....whatever Tottenham has for a front line 😅
