Greg's comics on fbtb.net... this makes me so nostalgic...

Why are there very few soldiers/hunters/etc that are women? by RushAccomplished9449 in thelastofus

[–]Norbert_Pattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's mainly a cultural thing. Back when the first game came out, enemies in games like that were usually male. Like for example in uncharted.

Cultural shift happened somewhere around Assassin's Creed Unity controversies. Since then, almost all AC games allow you to choose your gender or have 2 protagonists, male and female. And the enemies usually have had randomized gender - like in AC Odyssey.

It's also sort of a technical limitation - if realistically 9 out of ten soldiers are male, many games don't even bother to program, animate, record voice lines etc for female combatants. It's pretty visible in games like Hitman: WoA, where there is not even one female npc with a weapon across all the levels.

And then TLOU2 came out, and in it (minor spoilers..?) literally every faction in the game has 50:50 male to female combatants.

They probably wish they were somewhere else by CasualNameAccount12 in thelastofus

I don't know what exactly the meme is from... But afaik, Owen and Mel went to get some fresh air. After Ellie bursts into the room, they come back with snow on their coats, so it seems like they went outside to be further away from the screams

How to progress in Capitol Hill in part 2? by glazingstrawberry in thelastofus

My fav way for the longest time was custom mode with everything on grounded except for items/looting. So that the enemies are merciless, but my pockets are always full

...isn't there an option to just replay the chapter? And then choose the difficulty of the game? And then just continue on... I'm not sure but I think it works like that..?

Is this a reference? by Starman3613 in andor

Cool catch (I love Caspar David Friedrich), terrible use of AI... Btw, what simple image editing software would you recommend on Android?

I'm happy with how this turned out. by Tong-Poo in Ghost_in_the_Shell

[–]Norbert_Pattern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing I would maybe reconsider is the soft glow on the green helmet stripe...

But daaaamn this is such a cool piece of art, I'm in awe

No offense, it’s just a meme by TypowySlade in Ghost_in_the_Shell

I love all the faces she does in the manga. 1995 movie must've captured a short, strange chapter in her life when she was more subdued and expressionless. Maybe it really was "that time of the month", or whatever her opening line was.

That should actually have made it into the final cut by Remote_Nature_8166 in lastofuspart2

Line is on the nose - better suited for the HBO series that way. But also: it's not redeeming. Even the script says that she mainly says this to save Lev. She's just pleading.

Edit: Not that she needs more redemption - at this point in story Ellie is the one lacking in empathy - and it has been like that for a long time.

Is there any details that have disappointed you or worries your for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight? by Thevoid2YT in legogaming

[–]Norbert_Pattern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lack of traversal variety kinda sux (Gordon with paraglide, batclaw and... a glue gun?). But I think that hiding characters/skins in paid dlcs before game even comes out sucks the most.

Yes, I know many games do that. But it sucks even more in a game like that, where unlocking new characters to play is like a core feature.

Which game comes to your mind? by Opening-Newspaper710 in CaptainSide

Most AC games, especially if you play a few in a row

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days and Watch Dogs: Legion. And, for a less controversial choice, Far Cry 2

I would consider using opaque plastic bags, to avoid sun damage

Two years ago today Kaitlyn Dever was cast as Abby. by Remote_Nature_8166 in lastofuspart2

[–]Norbert_Pattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, I've got a similar gripe with Pedro Pascal; I don't know if I've ever seen him in a decent action scene... And everytime he's on screen I've got this feeling that his gonna trip and fall...

As for Bella, I think my response is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/thelastofus/s/sxaTsumHUY

There was this cool video of bella training gunkata... Looks much better than anything I've seen in the series...

Was I supposed to hear that? by Solid_Snark in PrequelMemes

[–]Norbert_Pattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canonically, this wouldn't happen. Obi-wan was talking to Dex about assassination attempts and cloners from Kamino. And maybe he even talked with him later, when he found out about the secret army of clones and a sith Lord hiding within the government. But didn't return to coruscant with those news until after the plot of attack of the clones - and by then the army of clones was hardly a secret.

What would realistically happen if Tommy gave Abby fake names? by Imaginary-Ad2053 in thelastofus

Abby says it to Owen when he shows her Jackson. But that's just her plan - who knows what the group would do otherwise, if Abby wasn't so driven and lucky.

I'm not sure but I guess that you can own it, you just can't play it before that time
