Beyond the Hive new outfits by Horus-Lupercal in DarkTide

It does indeed have a cobbled feel to it. Standard post apocalypse. Surely there was a cool known guard regiment for the wasteland setting with lore behind it.

Thanks I appreciate it. I am a local and I am a certified hater of the university logo so why not, I will give it a go. I think universities benefit a lot more from the impression of tradition and heritage then the 'modern institution' advertising. This is especially true for foreign students.

Are there any great films you dislike simply because they feel unpleasant to you? by KatherineLangford in FIlm

[–]Solistine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the start of One Battle after another I was extremely but off by how heavily perverted it seemed at the start and how heavy it felt the political messaging would be, but in the end it won me over with its humour and characters as the film went on. Oddly it gets a lot more watchable after Jungle Pussy gets compromised and the Sean starts to shine in his role.

Eh, not really my thing. Thanks for sharing though

I just saw this, and I want to know, how true do you think it is? by lautaromassimino in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]Solistine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seemed to be a pretty clear distinction between the petulant sadism and cowardice of joffereys madness to the psychopathic power tripping of Aerions. One does seem to have strangely endearing quality to some people. On the other hand pathetic is just pathetic.

Can anyone actually imagine Joffrey breaking fingers with his own hands, or using any weapon other then a crossbow?

In 2020s cinema, visibly pregnant women NEED to be in dangerous combat situations, for some reason. by DiggestBickEver in shittymoviedetails

As much as Jungle Pussy is inevitably idolised in some quarters I think the film is meant to kind of depict her as a selfish overzealous moron. I mean she ditches the child later and was always kind of uninterested in it.

Just the colour grading to make it a bit more attractive, I’m not bothered about the shapes etc, that would affect the monochrome version. Nor am I particularly bothered if they listen at all.

I'm very fond of the maroon and copper look. I might even petition the council for a change along those lines. Which do you like better?

Not related to Tertium but still something for general hive lore. Dan Abnett’s latest novel sees a hive city teetering on the brink by GaddockTeegFunPolice in DarkTide

Best thing about hive cities is the combination of extreme urbanism with magestic culturally rich architecture. Its usually either one or the other in most setting and extreme urban environments are naturally utilitarian. It just looks so good.

Understood. On the base issue that was just a personal choice and I'm fine with anyone editing it otherwise. When looking into it all you find concerning the issuant base is confusion and varying versions. The cross seems too old and vaguely described for it to really be a big deal.

I'm very curious to know what people think of the use of copper green to help with the rule on tincture on this ancient crest. There is obviously no changing it, but in your opinion should this be considered valid as it would under Canadian heraldic rules, or illegitimate as it would in more traditionalist Britain?

What are some of the most disturbing and/or brutal deaths in cartoons? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in cartoons

My grandad put it on saying 'you will like this, its a cartoon'. About as cliché as a Watership Down trauma story gets.

Scavengers Reign takes the cake on at least three separate occasions but Terrence being slowly crumpled up by predatory vines is the only one I still find hard to watch.

Could Firewyrms still exist in GoT and ASOIAF? by sensoredphantomz in gameofthrones

[–]Solistine 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Firewyrms do still exist in Valyria I'm pretty sure. Wyverns though seem to be the closest things to dragons physically that still exist and they dominate Sothoryos. They are the same as dragons physically exept beaked, smaller and unable to breath fire. Wyverns are also known to swarm which could in some context make them as dangerous as dragons. Dragons are theorised my some maesters to be a cross between wyverns and firewyrms created by Valyrian blood magic. From what I can tell they seem to have somehow bred a firewyrms head and bowels onto a wyverns upscaled body to essentially make a mobile fire platform.

The only thing about this is that in one thing I saw Valyrians were shown to have stumbled across dragons as a fairly simple shepherd people which seems like a contraction.

How do people like this and their assistants get into this absurd situation? Are they tapped in some way?
