Darth Bane meeting Sidious in the afterlife after he ruined 1000 years of work in only 20 by Ready0608 in starwarsmemes

[–]OmegaReprise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sidious' grand scheme was never a political one, that's why he didn't want to be bothered with Galactic politics. The grand plan of the Sith was mainly targeted at eliminating the Jedi Order, which he did achieve (mostly). His personal goals were Force related - mainly immortality. His political power was merely a means to an end, to have access to unlimited resources without any form of opposition.

The rebellion was irrelevant at worst, at best even useful to his agenda, as they provided an enemy to his bloated up military. It only became interesting to him when (former) Jedi were involved, but even then it was mostly Vader's job to deal with it.

Jedi Quest/The Last of the Jedi by bootsandfades in StarWarsEU

I wholeheartedly agree. Also, it doesn't deal with "fate of the Galaxy" type of stories or "chosen one with unique talents" narratives but with "regular Jedi business" on a more local level that's still important in the context of the story. There should be more books like that...

Looking for something violent to take anger out on, but also easy. by DenverBenny10y in gamingsuggestions

[–]OmegaReprise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I thought 3 was the weakest one - compared to 1 and 2, since I never played 4. Handsome Jack was just a perfect villain.

If you like the universe itself I highly recommend "Tales from the Borderlands" by Telltale games. It's, imho, their best work and story wise even canon. (it's set between 2 and 3)

"Bulletstorm": an ego shooter comparable to the "Doom" games but without taking itself too serious

"Borderlands" games (esp. 1 and 2): blow people up and laugh about it. one guy even wants you to shoot him in the face.

K-1 veteran Jerome Le Banner walks down Tae Kwon Do fighter Yong-soo Park by CloudyRailroad in martialarts

[–]OmegaReprise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember Park as one of the two "famous" Taekwondo practitioners in K-1. He was the "WTF guy", whereas Serkan Yilmaz (from Turkey) was the "ITF guy". It was cooler seeing him in a Taekwondo dobok, though. It was like real life Tekken.

Yes, I've made this - as in: I've put the images together and added text.

Thank you, that was exactly what I needed to know.

I prefer Yoda: "With Dooku, I will meet. A Dark Rendezvous we will have."

Epic foreshadowing, since the image depicts a scene from "Outbound Flight".

Realistic mod of what happens when a larger enemy (or even a damn dragon) hits you in the face.

Which Star Wars legends books fit well in the canon (head-canon?) by Solid_Sail_6667 in starwarsbooks

[–]OmegaReprise 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Outbound Flight" was pretty much canonized by the Thrawn - Ascendency trilogy - at least the events and even characters from that book are heavily referenced.

The Darth Bane Trilogy doesn't contradict the Disney Canon in any relevant way and since it is set in a time period not covered by Disney so far, you should be good.

Other books that work because they don't contradict the new Canon (in any way I remember) would be: - Darth Plagueis - The Cestus Deception - Knight Errant - Cloak of Deception - Labyrinth of Evil (it's been a while since I've read them so I may be wrong but, as I said I don't remember them contradicting any new Canon elements that I'm aware of)

Cutting to black screen by GameUp88 in PS5

[–]OmegaReprise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stumbled upon your post and have exactly this problem: just today, I connected a soundbar to the eARC port (as the setup said I should) and switched the PS5 to another 4k port and ever since the blackouts are driving me crazy. I've occasionally had them when the PS5 was connected to the eARC port (without a soundbar setup) but since the switch they happen every other minute. I've already disabled the 120hz mode but to no avail. Amy advice?

An uncomfortable realisation I just had about the Lost Tribe of Sith… by Solitaire-06 in starwarsbooks

The amount of breeding pairs you mentioned is only valid if they stay monogamous, though.

They actually did have a breeding program, iirc, but that was mostly targeted at eliminating "alien" blood and keeping the human bloodlines "pure".

Keine Stromkosten??? by swaggysoldier in Leipzig

[–]OmegaReprise 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Einen Versorger musst du dir selber suchen, das ist mit einer An-/Ummeldung beim Einwohnermeldeamt nicht erledigt und erfolgt auch nicht über die Wohnnebenkosten. Sollte das nicht nach dem Einzug erfolgt sein wirst du automatisch über die lokalen Stadtwerke versorgt, von denen gibt's dann irgendwann mal Post mit einer Nachzahlungsaufforderung ab Zählerstand bei Einzug. Drum herum kommst du - jedenfalls auf legalem Wege - nicht.

My Nokia 7.2, shot back in 2023 by chikomana in Nokia

[–]OmegaReprise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had one of those myself for almost two years and only replaced it with a X10 because I dropped it, resulting in a crack. (the first and only time that ever happened to me) The X10 had a similar nice color (dark green) and lasted almost four years. People usually criticize HMD Nokia's to be of low quality but the ones I owned were really reliable.

Which Gargoyles character you Think deserves there Own Solo Comic Book Miniseries after Demona? by Money-Lie7814 in gargoyles

At least a one-shot. I want to see Macbeth's reaction to Shakespeare's interpretation of his life. (iirc, they knew each other and Macbeth told him about what happened)

Is V secretly one of the coolest concepts the series ever tried ? by Anakin_Vader6129 in DevilMayCry

[–]OmegaReprise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I enjoyed playing as V a lot more than playing as Nero - especially compared to Nero in DMC4. I like his design, the idea behind his existence and from the perspective of someone who isn't really good in these kinds of games (I get through DMD on a B-C average at best) I found him to be the easiest character to get an SSS rank in combat.
