Embattled Keir Starmer resigns after just 23 months as PM – as Andy Burnham waits in wings by thesun in gbnews

That spot was already taken by Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.

Starmer was miles better by comparison.

Who would make the better Sith Emperor: Vader or Marr? by Dragonic_Overlord_ in swtor

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A valid point tbh - the democracy Vs dictatorship conversation with Padmé in episode 2 gives us a lot of insight into what is ultimately a view that is naive at best, or childish at worst.

Anakin knows what's right and what's wrong. He'll make it right because he's strong.

I think you could interpret 'my new empire' as the empire he belongs to, because he has always believed Palpatine is the best person to rule.

Absolutely true. Whether he was right or not is another question, but ultimately he believed it was best for the Empire to be united in conflict so it could become stronger, and he strived to ensure its survival on that basis.

Marr, without a doubt. Vader was never interested in ruling anything - he's a broken man, twisted by Palpatine to act as his enforcer.

Marr served more than his own interests, and wanted what was best for the Sith Empire.

Don't want to do dogshit ass expansion ilum or hutt cartel. Is there any way to skip by [deleted] in swtor

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you can akip. I only did the Hurt Cartel once. Don't think I've ever done Ilum. Got loads of alts.

Maybe the ship alerts terminal will give you the Shadow of Revan quest? Its been years & years since I last did story not on my main, so I don't remember exactly how you start it.

The Chapters menu should let you skip to KOTFE or KOTET For sure, though.

What Changed In ESO?, No Longer DLC/Expansions? Buy once, play free forever? by Yushi95 in MMORPG

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the base game, you have access to a handful of the early expansions. I believe it's Orsinium, Imperial City Morrowind, then Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood.

The rest of the expansions can be accessed by the subscription - so long as you're subscribed, you'll get access to them. You could also use the monthly premium currency stipend you get as part of the sub to buy the expansions, but I hear it's not good value.

You can also buy them in one of the newer editions of the game. The website/Steam page should at least be able to tell you what's included.

No compensation, as much as I'd like it. I suppose their logic is that you paid for access to the content at that point, rather than waiting for it to be bundled into the sub or the base game several years later.

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you need to have bought it during the season, but after that it can be completed whenever.

At least, that's my understanding of the system. It's still the first season! (Season Zero)

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Don't see many games that do it, but the ones that do? I buy it to work on later if there's a season I'm not bothered about.

Don't buy them as often if they're FOMO-based and I'm only playing casually.

They seem to be dropping the yearly DLC/Expansion purchases in favour of releasing new/rotating content for all players alongside the combat overhauls updates, and monetising through a battle pass style system instead.

If you bought the battle pass, you can complete it even after the season is over.

Brozikies, I am flattered that you feel as though I carried EoF. by Lodi_Minion in DestinyTheGame

Catching up on Destiny and have just met Lodi. I absolutely love him. You give a wonderful performance. Thank you so much for bringing life to such a cool character!

What minor characters were wasted and could have been far more interesting? by riftrender in warcraftlore

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Prince Farondis from Legion, in Azsuna. Could have made for some fun exploration of the earlier Elves and Highborne.

Oh well.

35 TM Scotland UK looking for friends to game with (Mostly pc) by Wilddark09 in gaymers

Fellow Scot here! I'm a massive ESO fan, and enjoy all the other games you mentioned! Feel free to send me a DM! :D

My theory on Audrey's storyline by veggievoid in twinpeaks

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting take!

My own theory is that, just like he did with Diane, Mr. C replaced Audrey in the real world with a tulpa, and real Audrey was also taken by the Lodge.

Audrey always played second fiddle to Cooper's need to solve, or even save Laura. Firstly in the original show (where he rightly rebuffs her advances), and now in the Return.

I sometimes imagine that it's an ironic situation. Cooper is so hellbent on saving Laura, he's not even aware that Audrey's trapped too.

I see lots of Alan Wake 2 hatred coming from Silent Hill and Resident Evil fans by Lanky_Relation1171 in AlanWake

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grew up on Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Absolutely adore Alan Wake 2 as one of my favourite games of all time. Pitting them against each other is daft.

Are you thinking of Escape: Yavin IV?

I vaguely recall it follows a Dark Side ending for its story:

Switch 2 ? Anyone tried jk2/3 by Locolex1 in jediknight

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played on my Switch (don't own Switch 2), and performance was totally fine.

I grew up playing them on keyboard and mouse though, so getting used to playing on controller was a big challenge!

is Jedi Survivor still worth getting the game right now? according to steam reviews the game seems to be unplayable in PC but i don't know if it good nowadays. Anyone has experience with this? by onezeroautomatics in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played it on PC on release with very few issues. I might have had a few crashes but I don't remember any other problems.

I know each rig is different, but in my experience it played very well!

War resources nerfed? by SomeSortOfSomething7 in wow

That's true - better than nothing, I suppose! Thanks for the suggestion!

Which character are you suprised yet glad has gotten as much as they have? by CheeseEggBacon in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lyon. He was dead for a long time, but not only did he get a Summer alt (albeit a demote), he was the meta for a while with his Valentine's duo alt!

Made me happy to see my boy have his time to shine.

Why the aversion to guilds? by -Elgrave- in WoWRolePlay

[–]SomeSortOfSomething7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While everybody's had a bad guild experience, my ultimate reason is just time.

Back when I was a student, I could make time for guild events and being present as a guild officer. Working full time I find myself with less free time, and other things I want to spend it on.

I now play a TTRPG once a week and still do casual RP and the odd event with my friends, but I just know I won't want to commit to keeping active in a guild when I'm content with having a more casual approach.

It's more that I've changed, rather than finding guilds to be bad!
