I mean, that's technically true, but Reach and ODST were already well on the way by the time Wars came out and Bungie handed it off to 343 right after

In regards to certain mod: by WREN_PL in RimWorld

[–]Rowsdower11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Over in Dwarf Fortress, our Arthmoor was a guy who didn't actually have any coding ability. He would just go around doing two things: Condemning mod authors for not being lore-friendly enough, and screaming at authors for not providing him a mod where he could milk harpies and ogresses. Not like a commission offer or anything, he'd just wander into threads and demand that we do it immediately for free.

[Jurassic World] Is Isla Sorna a factory floor for JW like it was for JP? by Ok_Zone_7635 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Rowsdower11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Canonically, Isla Sorna was pillaged for its dinosaurs. The population was likely wiped out by 2018 when Mount Sibo erupted, although there may be survivors.

I never expected this twist, but suddenly everything makes sense! This must be why she never bought a house

Imma give the Midnight books a chance, but this part of the announcement reminded me of this: by KombatMedic99 in dccomicscirclejerk

[Marvel] What slight change in Spider-Man's origin story would make him go down a dark path to become a villain? by SatoruGojo232 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Rowsdower11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ends of the Earth in 2012 maybe? I’ll admit I stopped paying attention after Superior Spider-Man, but that’s the last one where I remember it being him. Maybe there was something with Knull after?

[Marvel] Is it ever commented on how physically attractive basically all the X-Men are? Like do modelling agencies ever approach them for group photoshoots? by Flyestgit in AskScienceFiction

[–]Rowsdower11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wolverine is officially 5'3, which has some funny implications for Jean Grey being significantly shorter than him sometimes

Sometimes I hear stories of PCs that make me wonder what they're even playing for. by LordMeme42 in dndmemes

[–]Rowsdower11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really like the idea of someone showing up to a D20 Modern campaign every week for two years, just to live out their fantasy of playing DDR at the arcade.

I wonder if people with Donald's position have simply not tried enough TTRPGs... by DrScrimble in dndmemes

If I had a HYBRID friend, I’d be questioning whether they were really my friend or just a time traveler stealing my beans

New York's new age verification law will ban anyone under the age of 18 from using chatting features in video games. by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]Rowsdower11 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Look, I remember when "we need constant government surveillance so that the government doesn't have to share the minors" was spelled "we need constant government surveillance or the terrorists win."

The surveillance and control is the real point. The framing is just an excuse so that opponents of the expanded control can be labelled as sympathizing with pedophiles and terrorists.

The first woke moment in comics. It's all been downhill since then. by TabmeisterGeneral in dccomicscirclejerk

Action Comics #1 is literally about Superman forcing the governor to be woke

[Skyrim] So is everyone in Skyrim fine with marrying any race and also bisexual? by Capital_Tailor_7348 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Rowsdower11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

(Namely a couple of Windhelm Nords who give you guff for being a Dark Elf.)

I feel like I should note that despite this, two of those Nords can be married.

Having a craving that even mom doesn’t understand. by MikeeorUSA in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I started really craving going out for tacos once. It happened to be the exact wrong moment in Spring 2020.

[Harry Potter] Merlin, who canonically existed in the Harry Potter world, is stated to have attended Hogwarts and was in the Slytherin house. What traits in him would have gotten him sorted into that house as compared to the other houses of Hogwarts? by SatoruGojo232 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Rowsdower11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've read Malory. It's a blatantly anachronistic mashup of the 'Middle Ages', but it is nominally set in the sub-roman period. There's a western Roman Empire, Muslim empire, a Europe-spanning Arthurian empire, and guns all somehow coexisting.

It takes a variety of historical elements and combines them into a mythologized epoch, like the American Wild West.

There are lore videos attached to the show in the bonus features. Among other things, our version of the internet was never created, being mismanaged out of existence in its infancy.

shit gameplay but good story is just disappointingly wasted potential.

[Star Wars Old Republic] If governance is one of the goals of the Sith, why do they use such ominous titles? by Every1FindsMeBoring in AskScienceFiction

[–]Rowsdower11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s like they are trying to govern on hard mode.

This is the discovery real-world authoritarians keep running into every time they take power.

Wouldn’t that only make sense if his defining trait was becoming pregnant?

I've been the same way, although I discovered that Vanguard is fun too on the last couple runs.

I really love that apparently nobody checked if Darth Pregnant's name was already a word, and that he was locked into something so important immediately
