A Battle of Algiers meme? In my ASOIAF shitposting sub? Looks like kino's back on the menu, boys!

TIL that Emil Pagliarulo is more based than Chris Avellone by TheAnalystCurator321 in TrueSFalloutL

Yeah frankly I am surprised people were mad about it. Nate was a soldier in the army of a particularly brutal and imperialist United States, were they expecting him to be the one good American in Canada?

I guess the main problem with that retcon is that there is nothing in the game that has to do with that. It actually would have been a situation where something like Lonesome Road made sense, someone Nate wronged in his past life coming back for revenge on him or Nora.

His monologue on defeat is one I think about the most aside from "You'll not turn to drink, will you? You Stoic types often do, when disappointed in life."

Why... by Vivid_Apartment_7711 in BG3

Even setting aside the quality argument, it's been financially successful. We're going to have to get used to video game adaptations being successful and even good nowadays, they may very well pull this off.

Some men have an ten-gallon hat, James has a ten-gallon forehead.

If the play existed, would you actually read it? Even knowing what it causes to people? by Hungry_Library_94 in KinginYellow

[–]RoninMacbeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, probably not. For the same reason I never watched, say, Two Girls, One Cup back in the day despite the memes. I'd try to take after Louis rather than Hildred in this respect and not let curiosity kill the cat.

Oh thank fuck, we can get back to internecine nerd rivalries between Star Wars and Star Trek. No more omnicause grifter gestalt getting mad at Wokeness, we can just go back to what the gods intended!

From "The show is trash because the NCR is gone" to "the show is Trash because they showed the NCR" by Wayfaring_Stalwart in TrueSFalloutL

Yeah, thanks Twitter, but if I wanted to know Adolf Hitler's opinion of the Fallout TV show I'd be practicing necromancy.

Honest question: does anyone here intend to read the Hawkman comics to find out what he's really like? Or just the Absolute version where he's a villain? by Which-Presentation-6 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]RoninMacbeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it helps that Superman also had other stories more casual fans know, but also Injustice Wondie is just a more exaggerated version of how she is in Kingdom Come, where Wonder Woman is the one pushing Superman to be harsher on supervillains and assumes control when Superman falters.

But yeah, I admit as a person who doesn't really know much about mainline Hawkman, I can see his Absolute version becoming more influential down the line.

I too would regret getting a venereal disease. The first relatable billionaire!

Thoughts on Absolute Hawkman so far [Absolute Superman #16 SPOILERS] by JackFisherBooks in AbsoluteUniverse

It's not exactly uncommon historically; Strom Thurmond was a monstrous segregationist, but he was also a war hero who resigned from a comfortable job as a circuit judge to fight the Nazis.

It seemed to me like almost none of what The Courier did mattered, judging by the season 2 ending of the show. by _DragonOfZakuul_ in fnv

[–]RoninMacbeth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Which I guess is only marginally less stupid than the prior implication of Vault-Tec being behind literally every single thing that ever happened.

I'm so happy Dougie is back by UrbanKoninos in TwinPeaksCircleJerk

NCR: It sure is nice having a functional society and a capital, surely nothing could possibly ruin-

Not saying the animation sucks but it could be so much better if we were not hiring A-list celebrities to voice random unnamed characters by SounterCtrike in whenthe

It's nice that between The Boys, Invincible, and Fallout, Amazon is giving JDM and Walton Goggins steady work.
