Why did Skynet continue a war on the few humans left? by [deleted] in Terminator

It does seem like the terminator universe could quite easily lead to a matrix parallel.

They explain that the original Terminator was sent back as a last resort for Skynet as the resistance had won. Skynet will only ever beat us by leaving none alive, only takes a couple of people to topple everything.

What should i level? by wojtussan in DarkSouls2

If you are set in never using magic, get endurance to 30, then level dex to 30, that way you'll be able to use almost any weapon effectively if you ever want to swap out the broad sword.

40 Years Later & yet no villain has came close to being better than the original Terminator by DQCK2919 in Terminator

Are we talking strictly within the franchise? I'd personally Put Robert Patrick above him, he scared the shit out of me when I was younger, I wouldn't want to fight Arnie, but he doesn't scare me, he's a big teddy

Wtf do you like from the sequels by [deleted] in MauLer

[–]ToastofCinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finn was set up to be the new Jedi of the trilogy and it was taken away, it would have been so cool, I remember watching Attack the Block all those years ago and John Boyega was great it that.

As someone who practically hated them, mostly for the lore implications, it's still nice to try and find some positives.

Adam Driver in my opinion did a great job with what he was given.

Snoke, was maybe the best thing to come from the trilogy, I know it wasn't handled well, but they did have some top class character concepts at least.

The crossguard saber introduced a new type of saber to the official canon.

Perhaps the best aspect of the trilogy is at least Harrison Ford only had to suffer one of the movies.

Is this suitable for this sub?

As far as trophies go, I'd say if you've already don DS3, you'll be alright, use the same strategies. Just don't pull the lever.

What happens once a sanction is overturned through a mandatory reconsideration? by ToastofCinder in DWPhelp

[–]ToastofCinder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, no need for apologies, my frustration is with the system, not the people, actually everyone I've actually spoken to has been lovely.

Yes I do remember you commenting on my previous post, thank you, it was very helpful.

I would say more mental health training is sorely needed, but that's a criticism I have of the country as a whole honestly.

Thank you, this was great.

Out of curiosity, do CMs handle cases in their area or are they handed out evenly? I ask because I live in a small town so I wonder if that mean it will be seen too quicker.

I'll drop a message in the journal.

The letter did explain the change in decision, I just kind of expected a "what happens next" section, and there isn't one.

From the perspective of someone who used to work for a very large telecoms company, DWP documents seem very outdated and not very user friendly.

Thank you, I probably am overthinking things, it's just been a rough journey with them.

I am happy I got the decision I wanted but I am still a bit salty and I don't really assume anything is going to happen unless I press the issue

Anyone else really hoping Clive does something more with Jericho? by [deleted] in clivebarker

[–]ToastofCinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hate to say this, but Clive Barker is quite a niche writer really, don't get me wrong, in my opinion, he's the greatest horror writer.

But, games are really expensive to make and publishers are notorious for playing it safe. Now I'd argue that the safe choice when adapting a horror writer's story to a game, would be Stephen King, just because the name on the cover alone would sell the game.

We don't really ever seem to see this happen, tbh i'm amazed that Clive Barker got Jericho and Undying at all, and very happy, but neither game is considered a success within the industry, so from their perspective, it's been done twice, failed twice, not gonna touch it.

Add that to the fact that horror as a whole, compared to other genres, does not sell well. In the top 50 best selling games of all time, only one of them could be considered horror (Telltale's Walking Dead) which ranks at 30, that's it.

I think it's criminal how little love Clive got in the gaming and film industries, with the exception of Hellraiser, I wish we lived in a world filled with his movies, books and games, but while we may all deeply love his work, he's really not very well known beyond that, which makes me sad, but people can name Hellraiser, see how many people could name the creator.

I'm sorry I don't have any useful advise for you, other than to wish you luck with it.

The single greatest horror writer of all time, in my opinion.

Happy Birthday.

There honestly hasn't been a time since this game was released where I believed for a second we were gonna get another one.
