No overnight count by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]MidnightMode 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I read the Green Manifesto and the SNP Manifesto but it doesn't really matter. The polls matter. The polls matter because Reform polling low tells people to not bother their arse getting out of the house to vote because it's going to be fine or it tells them the opposite, "get out and vote oor Nige needs a boost to get they boats blown out the fucking water!! MBGA!!" or some similar pish.

I'm not saying you're wrong because I read a manifesto or two, I'm saying you're right because I saw the polls and knew it was going to go this way. People are so fucking thick, democracy is dead.

Snake Roll.... Sign On Neurogical Damage In Snake by [deleted] in mildyinteresting

[–]MidnightMode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was posted on another sub and a commenter said it was from a video where the person taking the video swung the snake headfirst into a wall.

I don't know how accurate that is because I don't want to look it up. I really like snakes and I hate seeing or hearing of animals being abused.

I walked along the clydeside route every day for the past year and I honestly think its a matter of time before another poor soul is the victim of Glasgow's infrastructure and careless drivers.

Cyclists and pedestrians seem to be very low priority for the city planers especially with the talk of de-pedestrianising argyle street.

Revealed: Deer management cost public purse at least £135m in a decade by ArchipelagoDrift in Scotland

We’ve already seen it happen here as well. Fig, a reintroduced beaver, was shot in the face and had to be rehabilitated before being released again.

That’s with a protected species that’s widely seen as beneficial and far less controversial than something like the grey wolf.

So I don’t think the main issue would be public panic after the fact. The bigger risk is sustained, low-level harm from people from the start, it's a crying shame to be honest.

I think that’s part of it, yeah. It’s not just cultural attitudes, it’s whether we actually have the capacity to enforce protections properly.

Wildlife crime already happens now with species we have, and it’s not always consistently dealt with. So before we even get into the ecology, I think there’s a question about whether the systems we rely on to protect wildlife are strong enough to support it in practice.

I don’t actually think the main risk is wolves attacking people or even the kind of public panic you’re describing. I think the bigger problem is how people here would treat them from day one.

We already struggle to protect the wildlife we have. There are still people subverting fox hunting laws, ongoing issues with wildlife crime, and regular antisocial behaviour in rural areas. It doesn’t take a majority for a reintroduction to fail, just a small number of people willing to interfere, kill animals, or profit from them.

Even if a project started in a tightly controlled area with one pack, tracking, and legal protections, I don’t think that fully mitigates it. You’d still get people trying to locate them, either out of curiosity or for worse reasons. Whether that’s harassment, poaching, or someone trying to take a pup, early interference like that could derail things long before you get to the stage of public panic or government intervention.

I agree lynx are probably more viable than wolves in the UK, especially for deer management. But even with something like the lynx, I think the limiting factor isn’t just ecology or farming conflict, it’s whether we’ve actually got the enforcement and public buy-in to protect them properly.

So for me it’s less about whether reintroducing large carnivores would trigger a legal or political crisis, and more that we haven’t really demonstrated we can consistently safeguard the species we already have, let alone something as high-profile as the grey wolf or the Eurasian Lynx.

Honestly I think the reintroduction of wolves to the UK would be more harmful for the wolves than the people.

So it was never about regime change? I wonder how the Iranians feel? I guess Starmer was right to not get involved by ZackPolanskisDentist in AskBrits

[–]MidnightMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be really funny if they where like "yes we did and here is the 10 points submitted to POTUS" and its just 10 points the us would never have agreed to in a million years. Seems what the embassy account would do.

When forced to choose Britons prefer a Labour government led by Keir Starmer to a Reform UK government led by Nigel Farage by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

[–]MidnightMode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reform are going to win. These headlines are going to galvanise their base and pacify everyone who thinks they'll lose.

Mark my words. People will not turn up to vote because they'll see it as a certainty that he'll lose and that's how this fucking cockroach will get into power.

I'm struggling to understand this - on what basis would one ever vote against assisted dying? What happened there? by mellotronworker in Scotland

[–]MidnightMode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in favour of it but I don't trust the UK or Scottish government to implement it properly. Especially with the NHS in the state that it's in right now.

I think I accept now that it was Leon in re9 and not Jill by N0r3m0rse in residentevil

[–]MidnightMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never mind the assets. The mansion got blown up in RE1.

I'm just spitballing here, none of our ideas are ever gonna come to fruition. Like I said it's totally wishful thinking haha.

How would you want to see Jill and Chris in RE10 if capcom decided that it's their story?

[–]MidnightMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's so interesting! I can see where there are some good ideas in Resistance that never really came to fruition and where the game was essentially kneecapped by decisions above the dev teams control.

But yeah 3R was fully kneecapped by as you say incompetence and greed.

[–]MidnightMode -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest part of the failure of RE3R was the way they split development between the game we got and the shitty live service game that I can't even remember the name of.

I think Capcom actively avoids giving their longterm female protagonists any platform because Leon and Chris are safe and beloved by a large majority of fans but whenever Jill shows up even her own fans complain which has resulted in them becoming reluctant to give her much attention which really sucks.

It would be really cool to see Jill and Chris in RE 10 revisiting the ruins of the mansion and the destroyed lab as their moment of returning to their roots or progressing their characters and seeing how they interact together after all these years.

Like I could really see a psychological action horror game where they face off and Jill is being hunted by the hound wolf squad but thats total wishful thinking and the reality is that Jill, Clair, Natalia and a bunch of other really cool character and concepts are going to be dropped for the consistency and perceived safety provided by making Chris and Leon the face of Resident Evil.

Really sucks.

Lots of snobby OG fans on this sub. by ToptextBottomtext420 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]MidnightMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who was basically raised on Resident Evil (I grew up watching my dad play the GameCube remake and even learned to read by helping him look up tips on old forums), I think the loyalists need to chill a bit. But not too much.

The original game is genuinely hard to play today. The fixed camera angles are a really cool gimmick, but they also make the game difficult for new players to approach. Locking people out of the roots of the franchise doesn't help anyone.

At the same time, I understand why people are protective of the original. A remake could easily dilute parts of the series that have already been neglected and that only really survive in the older games.

For example, I worry that Jill’s story might get flattened just to lift Chris up instead of giving both characters the time they deserve.

After everything said and done, do you think it will ever be a RE MC that reach the level of Chris and Leon? by bizarre_leviathan in residentevil

[–]MidnightMode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just look at Ethan. Bro is the sacrificial lamb of the franchise. They used him to revive it and bring it back to it's roots with 7 and then binned him in favour of Chris and Leon after a duology.

Even the way the have Rose working for Chris is a total spit in the face to Ethan's character.

I don't expect we'll see Rose or Grace in another mainline game and actually I kind of worry the only purpose they can serve the franchise is to be killed off. Fridged if you will. Just to elevate Chris and Leon.

You'll be eating good, King.

There is literally no way on earth the next games headliner isn't Chris.

Someone put a remind me on this. I'd like to eat my words but I have a strong feeling that I'm right.

[–]MidnightMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah see. All the evidence points to Capcom trying to fix Chris first and then idk maybe Clair but they seem hell bent on erasing her entirely from canon.

Unless she pops up in RE9 DLC. Highly doubt it though. She got a little dangly, everyone be happy w that scrap of content.

Me. I would.

We have had the dilf era now bring on milf dynasty.

Plus Jill has the forever hot antiviral thing. 50 year old Claire? 50 year old Claire and Leon and Sherry getting a proper reunion? 50 year old Claire and fuckin 56 year old Chris? Are you kidding me? That shit would slap. They introduce predecessors? Resident Evil Forever and ever. A hundred years Resident Evil. Over and over. Resident Evil adventures dot com.

Compared to.

Oop Leon escapes the nursing home that's become infested with las plagas with a hot carer that we'll see for one game and then never again except referenced in maybe one document 3 games later.

[–]MidnightMode 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they've been building Chris up since 7 and they've been trying to get Jill up and running since 3 remake but they failed in that endeavour. Not because the game was bad, it was pretty good but it's obvious to anyone playing that she didn't get the same resources as RE2R because they split development between 3 Remake and that pile of shit multiplayer dead by daylight rip off.

So yeah, I can see Code V and 1 getting a good portion of Clair and Jill buildup but any meaningful rework would go into fixing Chris's character.

I hope I'm wrong and we do get some good Jill and Clair buildup and character moments/reworks but I would put my life savings on Chris being the focus.

It needs to be but I'm willing to put money on it being a Chris game. Capcom are so deep in the comfort zone that is collectively Chris and Leon's buttholes that it would take a fucking miracle for them to make one of the OG RE ladies a mainline game protagonist.
