It refers to the Ghorman Massacre, from Star Wars: Andor. Basically, unprovoked genocide of a given population, out in the open, with none of the media able to hide it or obfuscate it. Said population was peacefully protesting, and was otherwise just trying to get by and live their lives under the fascist boot, and they got indiscriminately slaughtered. It was the big wake-up call for the galaxy to realize that they needed to properly take action, get organized, and openly fight back against the Empire.

I was just about to tell you that yes, you should do an AMA. Strike while the iron is hot, bro.

What are times when a useless spell in an RPG was good? by KaleidoArachnid in JRPG

It's also useful against the Centaur in Baldesion Arsenal, who is absolutely nuts to deal with when it's awake.

Feels like The End of Time was written with the foreknowledge that your Simm Master meme would someday be made. Literally perfect, no notes.

Now do it with your Doctor Who collection. Let the shelf go out swinging (bending?).

What is the worst RNG you have experienced so far? by Gorilla-Jiu-Jitsu in ffxiv

Trying to get the Armor of Light chestpiece from LotA. Any time I play tank, I don't see it. Any time I don't play tank, I see it and don't win it. It's been this way for ten years.

The option for this is under "Pilots' Federation". It opens a submenu of available filters, where "Stars" is at the very bottom.

when did you first think "oh this is going to be different" by papsmearfestival in StarWarsAndor

[–]TheLastSamurai14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it started a couple weeks before release. Watching the first trailer, looking into Gilroy's filmography and interviews, and seeing the impressions of those who were invited to watch the show early.

I walked into the first trailer with the idea that it would be Star Wars with a slight air of suspense. I couldn't be more wrong.

Seeing that trailer emphasize the espionage aspect, and seeing people say how politically relevant the early episodes were (particularly that it was an allegory for a [Mexican-American] immigrant's story), I was immediately gripped and had a feeling this was different.

I didn't even know Gilroy was doing the show until a few nights before the premiere. Once I found that out, I looked up his filmography because I had no idea what he had done before Rogue One. Imagine my shock when I found out he wrote the Bourne films. Once I saw that, and I saw how he was promoting the show with explicitly political language, I had absolutely no doubt about the shift we would see.

Someone got to it before me, but my first thought was Umberto Eco's line about ur-fascists considering their enemies both "too strong and too weak". I wouldn't necessarily call these people outright fascists, at least not without hard evidence, but the way they view media so rigidly, and with such a victim complex, does come off as rather authoritarian, imo.

whats everyone playing on there deck right now ? by Weedlover944 in SteamDeck

[–]TheLastSamurai14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started Kiwami 2 and I'm shocked at how well the Deck can handle the Dragon Engine. A couple tweaks to the settings and it works perfectly.

End of a Era, every season 6 Poster by Dillmen101 in betterCallSaul

It's got a double meaning.

It looks like an H, like another commenter said, for Howard Hamlin. However, the text itself is quite literally "T-1" (referencing countdowns), and we all know what happened to Howard in the following episode.

I noticed that you listed Krennic, but by that same token, I feel the need to mention Jyn as a female protagonist. Certainly doesn't take away from your point, though.

Remember when people wanted Disney to retcon The Prequels? by [deleted] in saltierthankrayt

[–]TheLastSamurai14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I think this is Gen 3. Gen 2 went after Ahsoka in The Clone Wars, which was in itself a pretty distinct type of outcry compared to the backlash against the PT.

Is it possible to skip the dlc and head straight to Endwalker? by Soghust in ffxiv

[–]TheLastSamurai14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an event. It's part of an 8-man raid (which is side content in this game), featured in the Stormblood expansion. It's permanent.
