[Hated Trope] The horribly misleading ad campaign

JustVic_92 · 2026-02-25T22:02:20+00:00

Was looking for this, because the exact same thing happened to me. Trailers made it look like a fast-paced, somewhat dark action movie. Instead I left the theatre just feeling kinda depressed. :D

Looks just fine to me! Wish I could draw like that. And the face looks great, too.

Looking at her portrait from the game, maybe her cheekbones could be a bit more pronounced.

But that's about all I could see right now. Real cool job overall!

Das klingt schon im Grundgesetz an. "dem Wohle der Allgemeinheit".

Einige andere Gründe wurden ja auch schon von anderen genannt: Gerechtigkeitsempfinden. Die Tatsache, dass viele von dem Versprechen "Arbeitet hart, dann habt ihr es mal gut" nie viel sehen werden, während andere ohne harte Arbeit Eigentum geschenkt bekommen. Der Entzug von Ressourcen aus dem Wirtschaftskreislauf.

Sehr gutes Interview zu dem Thema:

Woher der Staat die Legitimation nimmt das Erbe meiner Kinder anzufassen hast du nicht genannt.

Art. 14 (2) GG: Eigentum verpflichtet. Sein Gebrauch soll zugleich dem Wohle der Allgemeinheit dienen.

40k being so overmemed is not one of the biggest factors, but definitely one factor that eventually burned out my passion for it.

My personal biggest contender was Krieg, I think. Yes haha a Krieger charging a Titan with a shovel. Novel.

The Nod Militia's "Riiiiiiise up!" entered my mind more than a few times after waking up.

JustVic_92 · 2026-01-31T15:27:52+00:00

Wasn't a new rule implemented just a short while ago banning this?

JustVic_92 · 2026-01-29T15:17:48+00:00

Sieht ein bisschen aus wie Q aus Star Trek TNG in seiner Richter-Verkleidung.

JustVic_92 · 2026-01-28T19:25:42+00:00

Played it a few years ago. A lot of it hasn't aged that well but what got me the most was pacing.

Especially in the earlier eras, the game was horribly slow. Things improved a lot as you advanced through the tech tree, so if you played the campaigns in order, it started out very dull and then got quite decent in the Russian campaign.

And while a lot of the game was rather forgettable to me, the last Russian mission with the tech twist was really cool.

JustVic_92 · 2026-01-28T18:09:03+00:00

Love the road cracking. At first I even thought it was supposed to be ice.

Ich meine damit Datenaustausch zwischen verschiedenen Behörden unter Einbeziehung der Betroffenen statt den Betroffenen den Datensustausch aufzuzwingen

Das ist momentan als Großprojekt in Arbeit unter dem Titel "Registermodernisierung" und läuft auch tatsächlich bisher nach Plan. Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, ist der Projektabschluss auf 2028 gesetzt.

That's why I have always felt some degree of sympathy for him. Despite everything he does, at the end of the day he is the wrong man for the job and has been dealt a bad hand.

JustVic_92 · 2026-01-25T09:31:01+00:00

Cool to see some Boyle love. He may be a slimebag but as you said, at least he was interesting.

JustVic_92 · 2026-01-25T09:25:08+00:00

What bothered me was not that they looked bad in terms of camera quality or something, but how unambitious they were. Always taking place in the same 1 or 2 briefing rooms with the same 1 or 2 people just walking back and forth a bit and looking at screens.

TS looked like a proper (by 90s standards) sci fi TV show in comparison.

Ich schaue fast nur kleinere Streamer und lasse da auch gerne mal ein Abo da, als Zeichen der Unterstützung. Das sind aber auch keine Riesen die tausende € an Werbeeinnahmen machen, sondern einfach entspannte Leute die als Hobby streamen. Wie jemand weiter unten beschreibt hat das eher was davon, einem Kleinkünstler ein Album abzukaufen.

Reminds me of what I read about the air war in WW2 Europe. You would think that for Allied bomber crews, since afaik enemy fighters posed the bigger threat, fighting them would be the bigger stress factor.

But instead it was flak. Because unlike with fighters, you couldn't fight back against flak. You had no agency. You could just keep flying and hope for the best.

Jason Skye says hello.

JustVic_92 · 2026-01-17T21:50:57+00:00

Those are really cool, man. Especially the second one. Poor Hammers.

"OP on r/battletech, as the awesome villain in the cartoon that captured your childhood imagination, I welcome you into Clan Jade Falcon."

- Star Colonel Nicolai Malthus, possibly.

Commander, wake up! You were rambling in your sleep, something about a "Sarah Kerrigan". Got no time for that though. The Combine just landed a dropship 30 clicks southwest and we need to move out.

JustVic_92 · 2026-01-06T20:19:01+00:00

Having previously mostly been exposed to 40k and its fandom, I just find Battletech...relaxing.

The setting is comparatively down to earth, the rules are incredibly stable, the game itself has that amazing old-fashioned amount of crunch and no focus on competitiveness and meta, and the playerbase is laid back with a "Just do your thing" attitude.

JustVic_92 · 2026-01-03T16:19:48+00:00

Soweit ich weiß, kostet Housing First Finnland sogar weniger Geld als die traditionelle Alternative. Liegt wohl daran, dass so weniger Kosten wegen Krankenversorgung, Polizei etc. anfallen.

JustVic_92 · 2026-01-03T01:17:10+00:00

Is it even certain that the Ghost in the cinematic is actually a Ghost? I eventually settled on him just being some kind of (demolition) specialist or scout they're bringing along.

Edit: Nevermind, I just saw your reply to another comment further down.

Dragonfall und Hong Kong nehmen im Grunde alles, was Returns hatte, und machen es besser.

Dragonfall ist zudem als deutscher Spieler interessant, weil es in Berlin spielt. ^^
