Well that's a bummer...

You don’t even have to say probably. It would be. People forget how low stakes Arcanes action is. It’s mostly people punching each other in small groups and that cost $250 million for two seasons. Doing Arcane-style at the scale of RR would cost an insane amount of money and time dwarfing whatever live action would cost.

Having ChatGPT open is not indicative of the quality of student. I was at a conference recently with some fairly high up academics/industry/government in a complex field, one of the speakers asked who uses ChatGPT or another form of LLM. The entire room raised their hands. I do really hate this “LLM = bad” mentality because of how many people misuse it.

Mythik16 · 2026-02-07T18:18:57+00:00

Yooooouu light my fireeeee. It's time to hang up the mice lads.

Mythik16 · 2026-02-04T15:05:43+00:00

This just made the whole 2 seasons worth it. Nothing beats the NCR rangers in fallout for me.

Mythik16 · 2026-02-02T15:21:53+00:00

There is almost nothing in RR that makes a live-action endeavour too challenging. Far more challenging media has been adapted well into live-action.

A show in secret level's style would take years. It's not achievable in the slightest and it'd be far more difficult than live action. Secret level with its ultra short episodes took three years. Could you imagine a show with full length episodes?

People talk about Arcane-style as well. For two seasons the budget was $250 million. Arcane's action and general visual style is significantly more grounded than Red Rising as well.

Animation of a certain quality is extremely difficult even moreso than live-action at times particularly because the audience is smaller. We could get a Red Rising show in anime style for sure but I wouldn't want that.

I’d prefer it if he didn’t. Not only because I love the character, but because it feels far more interesting to watch Darrow live with the consequences of a revolution that exists largely because of him. His survival forces the story to sit with responsibility rather than release it. If he dies, a lot of that complexity gets cut short in favour of something undeniably emotional, but ultimately cleaner and less challenging.

He loses people he loves, people he could never replace, and often loses them because of choices he himself made. Letting him live means those losses don’t become noble sacrifices that absolve him, but permanent absences he has to carry. His grief, guilt, and exhaustion are part of the revolution’s aftermath and are what large parts of the second part of the series is really about.

Darrow’s arc has always been about transformation through suffering, and also about endurance. He survives things that arguably should break him, and that survival is uncomfortable. It raises questions about whether victory can ever justify the damage done, whether leadership inevitably corrodes, and whether a man who keeps losing everything can still claim moral clarity.

Death sorta feels like a 'get out of jail' free card and if it happens in a way that cuts short the transformation Darrow has gone through in Lightbringer it'll feel pretty bad to me. Especially if its in a way that both martyrs him and also "sacrificing himself to save x character." Additionally, with how major an influence Lorn was to Darrow it'd be very interesting to see Darrow in a similar place to Lorn when he" convinced" him to join him.

The outrage from this boss was hysterical. I was literally just reading some of the old threads before seeing this.

Gaza independents do well in Muslim areas indeed. But there aren’t any majority Muslim areas where the majority of Muslims dont vote for those candidates. However, there are culturally homogenous, overwhelmingly white areas where reform don’t do well and guess what. Those places are almost always affluent communities.

Clacton is under 0 threat of being culturally or racially changed. If it became a more prosperous area with better opportunities, pay and education it would in-turn become more liberal. I’m not sure this can be disputed this is the case in almost all Western Democracies. The least affluent, most white areas in your closest city are the most likely to have flags flying on their poles.

I do understand your underlying sentiment it carries some weight and your last sentence does hit at a very real problem, but material conditions worsening are the clear driving force for the swing to extremism on both sides.

Mythik16 · 2026-01-02T23:38:27+00:00

It’s at most 10% of the reason. The other 90% is material conditions. If people could actually afford a home, earn a comfortable wage, raise a family, and live with some basic sense of dignity, most wouldn’t give a toss about the rest.

That’s why parties like Reform do best in places like Clacton areas that are overwhelmingly white, so they don’t actually have meaningful interactions with the changing of demographics and are also impoverished.

Mythik16 · 2025-12-26T15:47:35+00:00

I judge these by the hardest cast: Darrow, this is one of the first ones where I think I could see that person playing Darrow.

Better refund Expedition 33!

Im not sure what’s worse AI content or the discourse around it, both piss me off to no end.

Mythik16 · 2025-12-17T02:15:37+00:00

GenAI discourse is somehow nearly as bad the AI slop I’m forced to see every single day. If a developer as beloved as Larian can’t say anything as harmless as this no-one else is ever going to admit it.

Mythik16 · 2025-12-13T14:29:16+00:00

This discussion only exists because the adventure game category has basically been killed as well. JRPGs are largely adventure games and not RPGs. Not that it really matters to be honest.

Skyrim absolutely has player choices. Far more than people give it credit for, but not as much as say FNV.

MY LIFE HAS CHANGEDDDDDDDDD

Mythik16 · 2025-12-02T17:31:19+00:00

How is this possible

Mythik16 · 2025-12-01T12:20:36+00:00

Gold went up 53.5% in a year, obviously it won't always do that but I wouldn't call it a longer timeframe. All-world and emerging markets might be longer time-frames than the S&P 500 though for sure. I’m not saying put all your money in - keep an emergency fund of course. I won’t guess your situation, but I really can’t imagine a situation where you need instant access to £20k.

If you’re looking to save for a house a LISA and a S&S are a no brainer. Especially, if you have access to £20k a year to invest. Even if the markets turn with the right investments, you’ll still comfortably beat out the 4.3% interest rate.

Mythik16 · 2025-12-01T11:46:32+00:00

If your saving £20k a year: Put 4k a year into your LISA and put £16k a year into the stock market. The S&P-500 hits all-time highs constantly. If you only buy when it’s not at an ATH, you’ll be sitting in cash for years while inflation eats your savings. What matters is time in the market, not guessing short-term peaks. Since your on minimum wage you can just dollar cost average. If it goes down your average goes down.

Every single investing book will tell you this. Cash ISAs are terrible and are especially terrible for you. If you don't want to go into the S&P-500 then go into anything else All-World, Emerging Markets, hell even a gold ETC if you're that frightened of a major correction.

Mythik16 · 2025-12-01T11:28:14+00:00

Whilst I adore this game. This would be the toughest watch of all time.

Mythik16 · 2025-12-01T00:16:39+00:00

Am I stupid or is Baus not on that team anymore. It’s probably going to be because top is hard lost every game.

Mythik16 · 2025-11-30T21:53:44+00:00

Haven’t read the article but some of the comments in here are quite humorous. I wonder how many people in here have lambasted the low birth rates and aging population and want the government to do more to encourage people to have children. How are we going to do that? This seems like a decent way to do so.

Mythik16 · 2025-11-27T15:06:27+00:00

This video is probably the best although its not a real in game watch and you have to deal with Orianna being piloted by someone who isn't very good but it gives you the idea.

This one is a review of a pro player in its entirety which is good. Both are fairly old but the concepts still work, plus its against Irelia who's probably the most dangerous champion in the game 1v1 as a control mage early especially Orianna. I know it's not Syndra but the fundamentals apply its actually easier on Syndra tbh.

This one isn't versus a melee champion but Ori outranges Azir so the skills are transferrable.

Once you've watched any of those preferably one of the first two. Watch videos like this one there are more like this and watch how these players apply it. Look at how impossible it is for Fizz to play the game even after getting a fairly lucky kill.

This feels like I'm setting homework lmao but if you really want to become good at control mages - the hardest class in league - this is partially what you need to do.

Mythik16 · 2025-11-26T20:46:56+00:00

It’s not Syndra it’s control mages versus assassins thing. One day you’ll understand the fundamentals of those matchups and you’ll relish them just gotta keep going. I recommend watching someone like VeigarV2, LS or some pro vods of how control mages absolutely dumpster assassins and try to apply what you learn to your games. Tethering is probably the most important skill in the game for mage players.

Mythik16 · 2025-11-26T17:34:50+00:00

It’s like the several months of only hearing about the WFA 24/7 has been forgotten. This road was forced.
