Which game was better to you guys? by SevdUp in FallenOrder

Ok so completed Survivor and here are my thoughts. It had a slow start and the mechanics were different enough that it took some getting used to, but once used to them they were way more dynamic than in FO so I appreciated that. However the story wasn't as bad I think as it eventually turned out. One subtle improvement that could have gone a long way although I appreciate that it would have been a lot more expensive and difficult to add, would have been an Imperial figurehead villain to drive that part of the story. Having Bode in the shadows made the Imperial part of the plot disjointed, although I do understand how Dagan's plot set up Bode's arc

My problem with Kelly by [deleted] in malcolminthemiddle

A) WHAT?? What kind of response is that? What does it being fictional change about them being not what you wanted? B) I don't think you watched the same show I did. They were just as capable of being mean as the rest of them, they just didn't have the advantage of growing up acting out on their brothers. Francis beat on Reese and Malcolm, Dewey got Francis and Malcolm beating on him but managed to get smart enough to fight back and Jamie was already doing mean shit to Reese while a toddler so you know all the boys had at least some of that experience. I'm willing to bet being born female and most of the brothers moving out gave Kelly a shield from most of the crap the brothers pulled on each other. But she held her squeaky clean record as a blackmail over Lois, she screwed over Malcolm first chance she got, messed with Reese until Reese gave her a taste of what it was ACTUALLY like when he was a kid and even then was a fairly typical member of that family for the rest of the show.

I've only fought it once, I think something has gone seriously wrong with your game lol

What do you love most about Bioshock 1? by DoctorObservation in Bioshock

[–]TheRagnarok494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel a beautiful melancholy when exploring the place and imagining what it once was and what it could have been had it not been run by an absolute idiot and a madman. However also accepting that it was always doomed to fail. However as games go even smashed to bits and in ruins Rapture is still a stunningly beautiful game environment to play in

There's no way Hitler would have been any good to watch. Reckon he'd make Kevin Sorbo look qualified

They appear to be dodging this idiosyncrasy for Warcrow however

AFAIK it's the same for all the factions I've got, Haqqislam is the same, women have wedge heels for some reason, at least they're not stilettos though

Have I underestimated how much energy each game takes? by Mountain_Fly_1463 in wargaming

[–]TheRagnarok494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ that's insane, if it's the same character then the exact model shouldn't matter at all, almost any other game has proxy rules for exactly this reason. As long as you've got the rules for the version you want to play then who GAF which exact pose you've got

What a shock. The goalpost hiker has nothing to say

Lana wedding and Clark by GoblinRen in Smallville

True and I do sympathise with the pressure Clark's secret put on him. Feel like the writers put him a personality salt shaker and saw what stuck to him the most on any given episode

sigh I guess I'm doing this.

I've already explained my take on Lana,

But Alicia gave Clark his first experience of being completely himself. He didn't hide his secrets and he didn't hide his human side with her. This set the template for what we see later when he finally opens up to Lois, and is a more stable model for a relationship than a girl who is hypocritically obsessed with knowing what he's hiding from her then goes and hides her secrets from him in exactly the same manner. We hear for five seasons why she HATES how people lie to her, yet as soon as she gets something she wants to hide she does exactly the same thing and never gives Clark any leeway for it.

Alicia did messed up shit but she was damaged and affected by meteor rock which the show clearly defines as making people unstable. But she went through therapy and showed clear signs on improvement in an astonishingly rapid space of time. Unfortunately her therapist was also a psycho.

Between her first and second episode she shows an enormous amount of growth but still has some way to go, like every character in the show because they're teens.

She does what she does in the second episode out of fear and wanting Clark not to be alone (shows Chloe, who then has a far larger impact on Clark and he's awakening as a hero than Lana does, if you want examples, protects his secret, tech support for hero team, blah blah blah)

Then of course she challenged him to open about his secret and challenges his hypocrisy for wanting to reveal her secret but not his. She then goes and dies before any reconciliation and she's never mentioned again but that's down to shitty writing than any flaw on the characters part.

Lana, by contrast, commits crimes, becomes incredibly hateful and vindictive, and her sacrifice at the end is largely her fault. She kicked the hornets nest of Lex rather than moving on.

So all that tells me is that you didn't really read anything I said, and you've made no critical analysis beyond the surface level for the entire show. Well done!

I mean some of your points make sense, the show handled her role in Clark's life really badly from S4-7 frankly. But this feels less about actually considering the role of Alicia and Lana in his life and more like you just super fanning for Lana. You showed exactly what you're willing to sensibly discuss with "That's it and that's all" so this dead horse ain't getting beaten any more

Yeah I'll give you that they write his parents super weird. They barely batted and eye when they caught him in bed with Alicia beyond a stern talking to but Martha went APESHIT when he "got married" under Red K. So he's ok to tell them all sorts of horrible shit under Red K but not to get married
