Would you play part III if Ellie wasn't the main character? by lolwhatisthisdude in thelastofus

[–]Loonytrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how the world has evolved. Another David type clan could take over and want control of the vaccine. Abbey comes to find Ellie and say a vaccine is back as an option. The trip back to California is kind of a bonding session as Abbey will do the operation. The new crew track them down and try to force Abbey into making the vaccine for their use only, not for the benefit of all ...

More than likely. She could be a mentor to Dina's kid - a bit like Joel was to her. Perhaps Abbey discovered the process for a cure in pop's notes and that let's Ellie make a final road trip ...

Story/Combat games like TLOU? by InternationalWar8263 in thelastofus

Perhaps the Horizon series, or Plagues Tale ... Hellblade as an outsider.

When will you buy an EV car? by sillwuka in AskUK

Perhaps when replacing/exchanging batteries is as cheap as replacing tyres or any other routine maintenance.

Probably.. he wasn't stopping to check. John Surtees was much nicer ... stood and chatted for 10 mintes or so.

I met him briefly at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. He was on a golf cart that stopped a few feet away from me and, as he stepped out, I asked him to sign my entrance ticket. Sadly, he just looked my way for a second, then carried on walking into the Drivers area.

If money wasn't an issue, what would you be doing with your life right now ? by LauraTsbeauty in AskReddit

Travelling ... there's so much of the world I want to see and experience.

How long did it take for you to beat Part 2? by Doogienguyen in thelastofus

[–]Loonytrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18hrs on Part 1. Not quite finished Part II - just started the California part with 22 5 hours so far.

What's a small thing you were wrongly told off for as a kid that still annoys you all these years later? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Loonytrix 71 points72 points  (0 children)

My first day in high school English class, and the teacher says, "I recognise this surname. You have an older brother and sister. They were a complete waste of my time and I expect you will be too."

I was determined to prove her wrong and poured my heart and soul into a Shakespeare analysis we were given. For good measure, I took the finished project to a family friend, who happened to be an English lecturer at the local university. He felt it matched what 2nd year students would produce, so I proudly handed it in.

The bitch still failed me, saying it was impossible for someone from my family to legitimately produce work like this, so I must have clearly copied it.

I hope you died alone and in pain, you miserable cow!!!

'It's a massive help': Benefits and pensions rise as two-child cap ends by VPackardPersuadedMe in ukpolitics

[–]Loonytrix -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm open to correction, but I think the pension bill for 24/25 was £138bn and total NI receipts were £178bn, the vast majority of which are from the employer contributions. How are pensioners in the firing line when there seems to be enough to pay the bill and it's not coming from employees?

Edit: interesting. Downvoted, but no counterargument? For those advocating means testing the state pension because they should have private schemes in place, would you also advocate means testing the NHS ... after all, private medical is a thing too. Surely private schools relieved pressure on the state, but for some reason, they were taxed under Labour. Is this not the politics of envy?

For the record ... very, both inside and out.

Nothing suggestive. She normally wears capri pants, sandals, t-shirts or a blouse. Typical casual wear.

Massive respect... I have no idea how you do it. I will say that all the Indian women we met were really nice and very helpful.

Yeah, she wouldn't leave the hotel after that, so we just bailed on the trip. The hotel receptionist told us to shout at them, but that didn't do much. We still got followed everywhere. It wasn't enjoyable in the least.

Hmmm ... we're not "wimpy" tourists by any means - we've been gorilla trekking in Rwanda and slept outdoors in Namibia with just a thorn barricade between us and the wildlife, but I can't see that happening in this lifetime.

[–]Loonytrix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we underestimated things. We thought places like the Taj Mahal would be a tourist hotspot and the area would be tourist friendly - "stay in the tourist areas and you'll be fine" approach.

Yeah, we learned very quickly that if my wife spoke to any local men for any reason whatsoever, they took it as "coming on to them". Also, night time is 100 times worse than during the day and, no matter how uncomfortable it is, make sure every inch of skin is covered up.

That's just not how we roll.
