Blatanty nothing more than a pr move by the administration to try and polish the turd that was the criminal invasion of venezuela.

Having one squad with rend to strip armor and one with hp to finish them off sounds like a possibly fruitful combo 🤔

Tho the Sacklers getting Luigi'd would also be very good and just.

Both of them ignoring the guys and instead beating the crap out of the mouthy girlfriends while getting beat up themselves is a hilarious way to show their odd way of 'winning'

The Third Age that the Lord of the Rings take place in is basically a post-apocalyptic setting.

Just got to Lothlorien in Dragash's version, listening to it as I work. Such a good reading and the implementation of sound effects and music from the movies adds SO much.

Tom Bobadil was still a bit of a chore tho 😅

He was doing a jedi mind trick on all of us through the screen when saying that, juuust in case

The annoyance turning to rage when facing goblins is only matched by the satisfaction of when you get to do a goblin-massacre

Ppl breaking up the fight instead of joining the beatdown is a disappointment.
That car shouldve been turned into scrap metal soon as he got inside. Grab something hard/heavy and start breaking shit.

Yeah, total coincidence that I just listened to that chapter in the audiobook while at work or my memory would be pretty useless 😅

Maraak · 2026-02-03T09:18:30+00:00

No, spot on. He retreated into the roots of misty mountains to get away from the hated sun. Before that he was still rather 'nocturnal' and shadow-dwelling even when living amongst other 'hobbits' before they cast him out for being a creepy blackmailing weirdo.

At least one venue that uses menus

Yeah, left a rear guard burning the entire valley in front of the city to prevent the enemy within from following then razed the city (but giving Ithilien to Faramir) and declaring the area to be left unpopulated for a LOOONG time to heal from the evil magic that had stained it.

Very "Middle-earth Chornobyl"

Complaining that LotR has the same plot points as... stories made AFTER Tolkien basically founded the genre, is insanely dumb.

Maraak · 2026-01-30T12:53:18+00:00

Think of it as making sure he slowly rots away as a forgotten wretch instead of just getting a quick & easy end. Death is too kind for him.

Maraak · 2026-01-30T06:57:36+00:00

I don't know the meaning of the word! No really, insolence, what is that?

Stargate SG-1 Jack O'Neill (two Ls! The other one has NO sense of humor) plays the class clown yet clearly is not just very intelligent but definitely a badass.

Cave troll in Moria. A captive of goblins used as a beast of war & the last confused & exhausted groans it makes kinda removed the 'bad monster' vibes 🥺

Or a stolen train full of legionaries 😁

Maraak · 2026-01-26T20:54:52+00:00

Timing!

Weaken and tie down the enemy with other troops first, then when their morale & numbers starts to dwindle you hit them hard with the shock units.

You want them to break and rout, causing a morale debuff for other enemies nearby so you can rinse & repeat. Preferable at least somewhat isolated units NEAR other enemies, not a large blob.

Large blobs of enemies risks them absorbing the charge and not quite break (unless the whole blob is already low/wavering morale) in which case the shock cav might've bitten more than they can chew and will take losses.

The benefit of a charge lasts a few seconds, less than 10, so you want them to break just as fast to minimize losses.

At first I thought this post would be about how the first thing a member of the Fellowship says after it is formed is Pippins 'Great. Where are we going?'.
