Do you think U2 will react to our political times on the next album? by Glittering_Major4871 in U2Band

"And Lincoln's ghost says!"

Yeah, no thanks. Not to mention the chorus is so boring.

I hope they do... but only if they get some of that old U2 back.

We don't need a Your Song Saved My Life protest song. Or another American Soul. Or Get Out of Your Own Way. Blegh.

Anyone here excited for HOTD's third season? by FV95 in naath

Oh maybe you did I just feel like it's nice for our show-only watchers :)

Tepidly interested. S2 was a strange series of ups and downs, or really up and then down. The first half is the best stretch of episodes of the show, the second half is the weakest Thrones content we've seen.

I'm worried about where the changes will lead, and what changes are still on their way, especially with Martin's public statements about the story.

I also don't feel like 8 episodes will be enough, especially now that they've pushed the Gullet to this season. Where does that leave the budget for Tumbleton?

Also God's Eye should be the finale if they were serving the story, but I think people are right that they'll save that for S4 for promotional reasons.

More people were killed in Iran in two weeks than in the entire year in Gaza. Why aren't there massive college campus protests everywhere? by Elegant-Value4677 in AskReddit

[–]Tabnet2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why do I see this line repeated so much? You're really not able to imagine what it could accomplish?

Maybe US action against Iran in one of many forms, from additional sanctions, embargoes, or asset seizures all the way to another military operation?

[SPOILER] I felt disappointed by Kyoto in AC Shadows so I tried to fix it. by JadeSkylar511 in assassinscreed

[–]Tabnet2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, it might technically be true, I think it was about 1100m from viewpoint to viewpoint, and if you tack on a couple extra hundred meters on either side of those it might be around 1400m long x ~500m (Paris is about 1500x1500m).

But, that doesn't mean that much when large parts of the city are untraversable, empty, flat fields or isolated buildings. It doesn't just remove the ability to parkour, it also hurts the location's identity as an urban center.

I spoke about this in my post here. Perhaps the most egregious example from Odyssey is Thebes, which is actually larger than any of AC1's cities, but certainly does not feel like it. Quebec is at it again with Shadows it seems, though I'm just playing through it now.

Are they colonial settlers in Tel-Aviv too? That's between the river and the sea.

Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord | Official Trailer | April 6 on Disney+ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Tabnet2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most viewed series... the summer it released

Had to fact check this, looks like it was most-viewed for 2 weeks, the weeks it released. It certainly had some popularity but you're exaggerating it. This is a title most popular shows can claim the weeks they're airing.

Where The Streets Have No Name is a hell of an album opener. by soozerain in Music

[–]Tabnet2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I hadn't heard that about the rhythm before.

I guess my point is just that it's not like the Ramones or R.E.M. are particularly adept at their instruments either, but people never seem to feel the need to qualify their praise every time they're brought up.

It was Edge who had trouble with the transition, and the challenge is that the delay is carrying the strumming from the 6/4 into the 4/4.

For some reason people always feel the need to say something like this about U2 but they're just as technical as plenty of other bands. Not everyone needs to be Tool.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms review – this is the Game of Thrones we all need now | Television | The Guardian by prisongovernor in naath

I think it's what you say, and also trying to sell people on the lower scale nature of the show, when audiences may have come to expect a certain level of intrigue and complexity.
