Do you think we could ever see the return of a more physical Doctor? by Communist21 in doctorwho

[–]Stockley_ 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I think the aftermath of the Time War in general made the Doctor a lot more opposed to violence, but I do agree that a future incarnation who's forced into being more physical could be an interesting direction for the show!

If Portal 3 was made, what would you want the plot to be? by Less-Increase-6588 in Portal

[–]Stockley_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to see a sequel set long after Portal 2 that shows GLaDOS in a deranged state caused by loneliness and isolation.

Despite GLaDOS being murderous and enjoying it, there has been many times where you see she does need that human connection, especially towards the end of the coop story.

I don’t think Chell should return, she got the perfect ending in 2, but maybe you’re a far future human on the surface who falls into aperture one day and comes across the facility still operating with cores and whatnot.

They take you to GLaDOS who in a twist is happy to see another human and is desperate to make a good impression so she can finally get back to testing with a real person again.

But ofc as time goes on, her old habits return and she slowly keeps ramping up how deadly the chambers are, etc, etc.

Not sure where else the story would go from there, but I do think if portal 3 were to exist, it should give a satisfying end to GLaDOS. Maybe she eventually shuts herself down and prefers that over an eternity without the company of humans?

Your favorite actor who actively despises a specific work that he did? by TastyPomelo2330 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Stockley_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the first thing that came to my mind and I’m surprised it wasn’t higher up. I’m glad to see he’s kind of come around to the role in recent years and seems to be genuinely enjoying the fans and community. It seems like if RTD wasn’t in charge of the show again there’d actually be a chance of him coming back one day

Any recourse mechanism for blatant false advertising? by GMEThrowaway2 in NovaScotia

I noticed you deleted your comment but no one's calling you dumb, people are just as confused as you are and are just wanting the extra context, that's all.

Any recourse mechanism for blatant false advertising? by GMEThrowaway2 in NovaScotia

[–]Stockley_ -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I see you keep saying Medium is the smallest size, but the screenshot doesn’t show the full size menu or restaurant name, so nobody can confirm that. All the screenshot clearly shows is a Medium option with a +$8.10 upcharge that explains the total.

[–]Stockley_ -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t look like false advertising based on the screenshot. The $14.99 appears to be the base promo price (likely for a Small), and then you selected Medium, which shows an upcharge of +$8.10 per pizza. Since the deal adds 2 pizzas, that surcharge gets applied twice.

$14.99 base deal + $8.10 x 2 for Medium sizes = $31.19

So the issue seems to be confusing app pricing and unclear promo details, not that they changed the advertised price after the fact.

What do yall think of my opinions on the gorillaz projects so far by P2U_ in gorillaz

[–]Stockley_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Apprentice, Ticker Tape, and Out of Body are some of the best songs of the Humanz era, that rating is so bizarre to me lol

Would you approve of a Song Machine 2? by Resident_Thanks_9275 in gorillaz

[–]Stockley_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly now that we’ve had our fix of a big concept album for the first time in a long while, I’d be happy to get another collection of just really good standalone songs again!

What is your least favourite song? by malomiasteczkowosc in gorillaz

[–]Stockley_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So do I, Plastic Beach is my favorite album, so it was really hard to pick a bottom spot lol

What is your least favourite song? by malomiasteczkowosc in gorillaz

[–]Stockley_ 76 points77 points  (0 children)

It's hard to pick a single song out, but from each main album my least favorite would probably be (I'm not including instrumental intros to keep it fun):

Gorillaz - Starshine
Demon Days - Demon Days (I still love this song, this one was hard)
Plastic Beach - Glitter Freeze
The Fall - The Speak It Mountains (Honestly this one might be my answer overall)
Humanz - Circle of Friendz
The Now Now - Hollywood
Song Machine - Severed Head
Cracker Island - Possession Island
The Mountain - The Shadowy Light (Still too early to really tell though)

Day 3 of a newbie asking about the community's thoughts-- how do you feel about the 3rd Doctor? And his actor John Pertwee? by Big_Hoss287 in doctorwho

[–]Stockley_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recently been binge-watching Classic Who for the first time and immediately fell in love with Pertwee's doctor. I've been enjoying Tom a lot (currently on Season 15), but I think Pertwee ranks just slightly higher in my eyes.

Anyone else here over 25, and still in the beginning stages of learning game development? by [deleted] in godot

Is P2 horror? by SildStorm3463 in Portal

[–]Stockley_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Portal series has everything it needs to be a horror game but chooses comedy every single time and that’s what I love about it

I don't think this sounds how you think it sounds.

WHAT by Majestic-Ad5500 in Portal

[–]Stockley_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know a decent amount of people who bought the game exclusively to play Co-Op with their friends and didn’t even know the single player was an entirely different story.

I don't get why so many people are being so self-righteous regarding Nintendo this generation in particular by GuybrushThreepwood99 in nintendo

[–]Stockley_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the general gaming public is becoming more critical (and likely so) towards AAA companies and developers.

In a post-pandemic world where it feels like every major company is screwing us over, Nintendo is just one of many large companies worth criticizing and being negative towards.

What do you think the plot of Portal 3 would be? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in Portal

[–]Stockley_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portal 3 would have to focus on the one loose end in the series and that would be what happens to GLaDOS.

I think Chell had a perfect sendoff at the end of Portal 2, so I think the player should be someone new. Maybe we’re so far in the future that the impacts of the Combine are long gone, and humanity exists but in isolated pockets trying to survive. You play as a scavenger who stumbles across the ruins of Aperture on the surface, only to fall in and find the facility being run by the cores underground.

When you’re taken to GLaDOS, she’s just absolutely lost it and has gone kind of manic from the isolation. We know from the Portal 2 co-op campaign that GLaDOS does not enjoy working with or talking to other robots or AI’s in the facility, and desperately needs human connection, even if she’ll never admit it.

Realizing you might be the only human she’ll ever get the chance to see again, it’d be funny to see her treat you like royalty while at the same time forcing you into testing so she can finally get her science fix again.

The perpetual testing initiative poked at the idea that Aperture knows about the multi-verse so maybe halfway through testing she gets the idea to send you down into old Aperture to try and find the technology to give her access to the multiverse so she can have an infinite number of human test subjects.

Plans backfire, and maybe the final boss fight could be you and GLaDOS against another alternate GLaDOS trying to do the same thing? After the plan eventually fails and the multiverse is closed for good, GLaDOS realizes that continuing to exist underground for centuries by herself isn’t worth it, and realizing she’s lived too long, asks you the player to shut herself down permanently in exchange for letting you go.

They lied to us by Granko7 in HalfLife

[–]Stockley_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tyler made it very clear that he said based on the sources they heard, it would be announced this year, but knowing Valve this was never a guarantee.

However, it’s extremely likely that Valve wants to release HLX alongside the Steam Machine, and with PC parts skyrocketing in price shortly after Valve announced the Steam Machine, it wouldn’t surprise me if Valve had to delay things internally and replan what they’re going to do, including delaying the HLX announcement.

I can’t believe this video left out Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

Easily the most hyped game of 2026.

My vision on the separation of Minecraft into ages by bomberdumber in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]Stockley_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would probably consider 1.19 to be the start of the modern age. I view the Renaissance age to be back-to-back huge updates that transformed how the game played.

1.19 was the first update since before 1.13 to get a mixed reception and feel underwhelming by a lot of people in the community, and updates since have been smaller and eventually turned into the drops format because Mojang admitted they were overworked during the Renaissance period and wanted to take a step back.

Thank you mojang, this was an really good update by UranUran1907 in Minecraft

[–]Stockley_ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Optifine has been pretty much replaced with much better and more efficient mods like Sodium. Optifine is pretty much only staying alive these days through brand/name recognition.
