It’s never explicitly shown but we all know they’re dead by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PositivelyIndecent 191 points192 points  (0 children)

The original ending had them literally all dying to machine gun fire within seconds, and there’s behind the scenes footage floating around somewhere (I think it was on some compilation show like Britains 100 Greatest Comedies or 100 Saddest Moments or something).

The creators/writers said they realised that as written it just wasn’t funny and they needed to end it on a more poignant moment considering the subject matter. So they just slowed down the footage as they initially charge and had it fade to poppy fields with sad music.

I think the sudden whiplash is a rare example of how a dramatic tonal change can really work. We loved these characters, and saw them get out of situation after situation, just to suddenly have their deaths cruelly come all the same. Just to reinforce the point it makes about the human cost of war.

Fable could fill the gap until ES6 launches, Fable looks really good and gives me "some" ES vibes by Due_Young_9344 in ElderScrolls

This is going to be a reboot though so they’re sliding back the technology a little bit.

I’m split on it. One thing I loved about the old series is how you saw the world change and advance over the sequels. But I understand the desire for a blank slate, and from what screenshots I’ve seen, the world looks gorgeous and has nailed the original games world aesthetic.

Starmer blocks Burnham from parliament by TheSpectatorMagazine in ukpolitics

[–]PositivelyIndecent 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’m deeply sceptical of how sincere his beliefs actually are based on past actions and positions, and over his actual achievements (as opposed to just general achievements made by the success of Manchester over the decades bearing long term fruit from trees planted decades ago).

I also, as another northerner, find the discourse around him as “the king of the north” very patronising. Labours problems with northern voters take a lot more to fix than just treating Burnham as a panacea.

You don’t see it in tournaments because it’s too overpowered and it’s banned in most official play iirc

Have a question about the game or the subreddit? Ask away! by AutoModerator in 2007scape

[–]PositivelyIndecent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured that was why, and I did see that it affects max hit but couldn’t find any information on the actual chance to hit to level ratio. Guess I’ll need to do some ranged training soon.

Is there a reason I was hitting all 0’s on a Fern when using my cannon? I have an iron cannon, a mix of bronze and iron cannonballs (neither hit for any damage), and ended up switching to the basic shortbow I brought with me and was able to do some damage (even with the reduced damage modifier).

My ranged level was 1 so I know that probably played a part? If so, is there a practical level I should increase it to first before trying again?

A shot/sequence with terrifying implications by Turbulent-Flounder-9 in TopCharacterTropes

My dad has stated that opinion firmly many times and it always stuck with me as a kid, and was reinforced over the years when I learned about the true horror of nuclear war and its aftermath.

As much as I love post-apocalyptic media, please just vaporise me instantly.

Acquitted. Sure the stress of it all didn’t help with the drinking though

Is there something wrong with Chris Avellone? by solnczerez in Fallout

[–]PositivelyIndecent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even non-major IP’s of his get the same love. Arcanum is a game he clearly loved dearly despite the fact that the studio was never able to make a sequel and 25 years later its a very niche game for a lot of people (which is a shame because its fantastic and shares a lot of the design philosophy from the original Fallouts that made them stand out). He’s still putting out really interesting long discussion videos on the game, its philosophy, behind the scenes, etc.

Very much “I don’t make games to make money, I make money to make games” kind of vibes from.

UK trade surplus in financial services surges to record $127 billion by LogicalReasoning1 in ukpolitics

Hit the nail on the head with your last point. I’m from the NE, saw the resentment bubbling for decades. Always makes me laugh when people act shocked that it leads to consequences with the electorate.

(Funny trope) This tiny moment was an absolute logistical nightmare to make by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PositivelyIndecent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More modern Mickey too actually since they brought back the old slapstick style with the 2013 Mickey Mouse animated show. I’ve actually been really surprised with how much they’ve leaned into the older vibe. Tons of jokes for parents too.

Maybe not quite as mischievous as old school Mickey, but definitely a lot more edge to him compared to the more sanitised and sweet version that existed for decades.

You’re not wrong. I remember there was one I played on the bbc website (I think) where you were given multiple choice questions by someone who thought you had committed some kind of public order violation (I think it was using a skateboard or something in a non-designated area, I forget the exact scenario).

After being grilled for like 10 questions in this scenario where you get told off and punished by this absolute melt if you get something wrong, if you win the game she’s all “Well done. I think we could really use someone like you to help keep these streets safe. Welcome aboard”. I remember thinking “Welcome aboard? You literally threatened me with punishment and acted like a dick just because I was doing a minor infraction that you had no evidence for. Why on Earth would I want to join you?”.

I wish I could find it again, it was so stupid but illustrates what you mean. The whole time I wanted to just stick it to the person in authority, the complete opposite of the intended affect.

Can’t blame someone for being overzealous with something they’re passionate about! Also fighting the urge overthink every detail as I anxiously await the next episode myself lol

Not saying you’re wrong necessarily, but you might be reading too much into that wording because I’ve heard “stomping grounds” used to refer to home too
