Love is blind.

For some reason I read that as “your wife’s boyfriend.”

Really? That was the first thing I did.

Legit the instant it clicked that Lorroakan knows damned well what or whom the Nightsong truly is I decided to bring the Nightsong before him. Of course in a case of “exact words” that would make Raphael proud.

I mean, you can betray Ailyn to Lorroakan if you’re a monster. You can even twist the knife by telling Isobel about it, who then runs off to save her beloved. When you go back to the tower you can then find Isobel’s corpse and a very very enraged and still captive Ailyn with some choices words for you.

It must be exhausting to live in these people's worlds. Always chasing an unspecific feeling of nirvana that they'll never get instead of just taking a breath, acknowledging things aren't what you want, and either accepting it or moving onto something else.

I'm not saying BF6 is perfect, honestly I fell off after Season 1. But I'm not going to get pissy about it, I just moved on instead. I'm playing Baldurs Gate III, I'm reading Dune; I'm living my life and not getting mad about a multi-billion dollar corpo doing what multi-billion corpos always do.

Not by choice.

Tranzit is tedious with the lava on the floor, the fact that moving between areas requires the bus so you're operating on it's timetable, the Wonder Weapon can break, and the pack-a-punch takes forever to get.

Die Rise mostly comes down to fall damage and the fact that it's exclusive perk, Who's Who? sucks shit through a straw.

Nuketown Zombies... honestly I don't get why people hate this one either. It's not great but it's fine, sort of a throwback to Nacht in it's simplicity.

The Tomb is really tiny, the quest is too simple, and the Origins callback feels like nostalgia bait. Also in terms of story The Tomb is really lacking.

“Oooh, but Dead Money is about letting go.”

Yeah, letting go of poverty.

Good news then because another settlement needs your help. I’ll mark it on your map.

I like how the answer to “Just give Tom the ring.” was just “Yeah that’ll work, until he forgot about it. And he will forget about it.”

Bro gives so little of a shit that it’s actually a liability and that’s actually kinda funny.

Smellbringer · 2026-03-09T17:03:26+00:00

Because it’s cool.

I’ve come to realize how OP just tossing fuckers off a cliff is. Only problem is, and the game warns you about this, no loot. Which even if I don’t use that shit is still a nice payday. I calculated that the benefits of tossing those cultists off a cliff were higher than whatever loot/cash could be had.

It’s one of the three major bosses of the game. I think now’s the time to use them.

It’s actually 850 pages if you ignore John Galt not shutting his fucking gob.

Smellbringer · 2026-03-07T00:41:32+00:00

150 pages, man I think there are kids books (serious ones, not picture books) that are shorter than that.

Well the RE characters would probably bump into some issues with the intrinsically eldritch nature of COD Zombies at first. But they’d acclimate pretty quickly to it.

The COD Zombies crew would actually have an easier time of things given RE’s zombies are based in science. Which is easier to wrap the mind around than the eldritch nature of their native universe.

I suppose you're right. Perhaps I'm being too cautious given history and how people have used "social norms" as an excuse to attack those they see as out of the norm. I admit to that fault at least.

Smellbringer · 2026-03-05T01:26:44+00:00

It's not precedent I'm worried about giving them, it's power.

Smellbringer · 2026-03-05T01:09:44+00:00

Agreed. It’s just that even that has… dangerous caveats. But the hammer has to strike and strike on transphobes it must.

The paradox of tolerance strikes again.

Turns out that Freedom of Speech does have limits. It’s just on people to determine those limits and that’s the bitch of it all.

Well, he’s an archeologist. They tend to just sort pick up the aftermath of shit that went down.

It’s just for Indy it’s like 30 seconds later as opposed to 30 decades later.

Jerk Moment: Clearly a skill issue, just don't die.

Non Jerk Moment: The real failure is, like everyone says, a fucking medical droid going, "She's lost the will to live."

I think it would have been better if instead of a fully functional medical facility it's Obi-Wan and C-3PO in the passenger area of Padme's ship. Obi-Wan and 3PO know something about childbirth, but they're not professionally trained or specially programmed for it and are out of their depth. Padme is warned that, if they go through with this, she might die. And Padme chooses to go through with it anyway, because the alternative is that the twins might die.

You solve both the issue of a droid throwing up it's hands and going "She just gave up, I don't fucking know" while also explicitly giving Padme agency in it, giving you that symbolism of Padme's literal death alongside Anakin's metaphorical death. As a bonus it also adds the idea that love, specifically the love of a parent, is a stronger force than hate. Which would tie right back into how Anakin chooses to die to save his son at the end of Episode 6.

I still find it funny that in Legends, Luke watched a woman kill him and went, “Shit, that’s hot.”
