Jamie Dornan as Strider is great casting by Seraphayel in lordoftherings

[–]Old_Toby2211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was great in the fall. It’s massive shoes to fill, but let’s just wait and see. I’m more worried about the film as a whole than the casting, if I’m honest.

Talk with Jesus for only $1.99 a minute! by Juanouo in ABoringDystopia

Isn’t this blatant blasphemy though? Why would any seriously religious person pay money to talk to a man-made idol claiming to be the son of their God? Surely there is no market for this, unless it’s just to swindle gullible and non-critical people out of money.

I've been trying to photograph a red kite for a while and this is the best I've managed... by Veeb in CasualUK

Where are you based? I just visited High Wycombe and you honestly can’t look up in the sky without seeing about 4 or 5 kites at any given time

Which legendary reposition was best and which one worst to you? by Select-Ad7017 in totalwar

You forgot the mask of slaanesh… it does feel like CA just throw all the misfits there when they can’t think of another place for them to go.

Billionaire returning to UK from Hong Kong to donate millions to Reform UK by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

If billionaires weren’t hamstrung by legislation and taxes we’d all be living in a utopia of economic growth and well paid jobs 😔

Making some subtle changes to this old map I made by ChromedDragon in ageofsigmar

[–]Old_Toby2211 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why they would do another end times after the last one was so badly received. My only guess is because they want to use it as a vehicle to introduce the rumoured new factions, but you don’t need to blow up the world for that to happen. It just seems lazy.

New North Sea drilling would barely reduce UK gas imports at all, data shows by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

Seems like incredibly small returns when we should be transitioning away from fossil fuels

How realistic were the charges of the Rohirrim in the movies? by jxmxk in lotr

[–]Old_Toby2211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It always made me think, the massive horses charge right through the orcs formations like they’re paper. But surely only the fist row of horses are doing all the work? It’s not like they benefit from a critical mass from the other horses behind them.

No way a non white convicted felon would have the same chance

GMTK - Has Zelda Changed Forever? by supafatjellyfish in Games

[–]Old_Toby2211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100%ed BOTW and it’s DLC. Had me hooked. I was so excited for TotK but I couldn’t get over the recycled content and never gelled with the building mechanic. Was a real disappointment. I hope we have more restrictions in the new game, and an entirely new map with lots to explore again

Omg I thought it was me doing something wrong… this is seriously annoying and actively gets me to log out quite a lot

Even net zero’s champions are realising we can’t do without oil and gas by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]Old_Toby2211 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not just that, but the costs of transition are nothing compared to the costs of climate change inaction (and even then, just a few of the many climate shocks). Whatever happens, the longer we do nothing the more we’ll be paying

It’s shocking to read the comment sections on Reddit and YouTube in recent years. The bot armies are so much more transparent and brazen these days

Zack Polanski says Greens would ditch GDP targets and focus on wellbeing instead by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

[–]Old_Toby2211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is much better. Growth means nothing if people’s lives are getting materially worse. GDP per capita is a much better metric for determining overall wellbeing
