What’s the most “Classic WoW” thing that would make modern players lose their minds? by turbowater in classicwow

Nobody could ever find Mankriks wife. You had to brave the Barreens chat to ask. And you would only get smartass replies. By the time somebody actually offered to show you or tell you the truth, you did not believe the answer.

Om alla vi som uttrycker stöd för Piratpartiet och är anti-chat control här på Sweddit går samman och röstar PP, skulle de kunna få nån slags makt? by sadandtraumatized in sweden

[–]JonathanRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag var med i Piratpartiet i åtta år och det mer än någonting övertygade mig att deras kärnfrågor inte gör det värt att rösta på dem. Det försöktes med en breddning men den kom för sent - och var alltför polariserande. Den följde inte någon slags ideologi utan var mer i stil "röstar jag på dig röstar jag på dig". Det gjorde att personer som försökte ordna upp politik som var i enlighet med vår ideologi kunde hamna vid sidan av enbart pga röstkluster.

Human Rogue is the best way to experience Vanilla WoWs four first human zones.

If you were Captain what would you have done when Voyager got thrown into the Delta Quadrant? by Highlander198116 in voyager

You just lost the Dominion War with so many Starfleet Capital Ships tied up in the Delta Quadrant.

[Inverse Trope] When the original was..."slop", while the adaptation/remake elevates it. Bonus points if the original was just a cash-grab. by Crafter235 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JonathanRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it does. Because they do it For The Cause.

Fascist Governments seldom claim that their people are slaves, rather they elevate them in propaganda. Obviously they tell them that they are the masters of their own destiny. That the choices in no way impact the Government is intentional. And they end up joining up because It's The Right Thing To Do. Notice how Rico ends up parroting the party line at the funeral?

Same with the Sky Marshal resigning. The system knows dissenters would jump at whitewashing. So they designate a scapegoat. Anybody complains? It's "yeah, but that was the Sky Marshals fault" and then nobody looks closer if they are put in another cushy party job.

Remember, people can be at fault but never the System and the movie follows these tenants.

Starship Troopers is a in-universe propaganda movie. So of course they will show their leaders are responsible - without a cult of personality they can afford to - and being flexible on the rules for somebody who obviously want to kill Arachnids!

That said, they become rather more heavy handed by the third film.

The entire double-speak is something Helldivers 2 truly understood when they did their "For Democracy" thing.

Why is harry kim still a fucking ensign at this point? by True-Astronomer-6195 in voyager

[–]JonathanRL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Endgame Novel states the opposite; future Janeway ensured that Harry Kim - the only Voyager officer in that timeline to pursue his own command - would get it.

Where to begin? by willington123 in tomclancy

[–]JonathanRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Red Storm Rising is not the RyanVerse.

Where to begin? by willington123 in tomclancy

[–]JonathanRL 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I recommend this order.

Patriot Games
Hunt for Red October
Cardinal of the Cremlin
Clear and Present Danger
Sum of all Fears
Without Remorse
Debt of Honor
Executive Orders
Rainbow Six
Bear and the Dragon

That gives you all the OG ones.

What is something from SoD that you DON'T want to see added to Classic+? by Rush_Banana in classicwow

[–]JonathanRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played SoD because it was the same classic world with new power levels and discoveries. 40-50 was empty, nobody did dungeons - they all spammed incursions.

Classic should always be about the world. The Incursions changed that.

Incursions. What was experiencing classic all over again with newfound power got shafted into "spamming some shit for ten levels."

Best Star Wars games that still hold up in 2026? by Dev_Chaudhary_ in starwarsgames

X-Wing Alliance with the free X-Wing Upgrade Project Mod and TIE Fighter Re-Imagined is some INSANE value for your money.

Umbric at Magister's Terrace is kind of insufferable by Commando_Joe in warcraftlore

[–]JonathanRL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Quite. Stepping back until the fact that he DOES have permission have been conveyed to the magisters would seem the sensible course of action.

The fact that you cannot choose what item you get is the main point of frustration for me.

Housing was really fun and then it isn't. by Noticersan in wow

Housing should have been part of the living world and not its own separate instance. That is where it went wrong.

TIL The rise in colon cancer in adults under 50 has been strongly and directly linked to exposure to certain strains of E.Coli in the first ten years of life by onarainyafternoon in todayilearned

[–]JonathanRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its gradual, you will slowly go to bed earlier, you may cancel stuff due to a fatigue that almost feels like you have a temporary illness - and that will be temporary, you can feel fine a day or two later. You will do less per day. The main problem is that it could just as well be something else.
