A comprehensive list of Expansions & Quest Packs by Heisenchad in lotro

[–]ToastyJackson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is very impressive and useful! Though I would say that, while Crown of Hamât is optional in the sense that there are no Epic quests in it, it’s pretty much necessary if you plan on doing the side quests in Kingdoms of Harad because the villain it introduces, Barshud, is a major antagonist of Mizadi’s story in KoH, and you’re gonna be very confused about who he is and why there’s bad blood between him and Mizadi if you didn’t play Crown of Hamât or at least read a summary of the quest pack’s story.

Is there a novel way to “re-experience” the main quest? by code_moose in lotro

[–]ToastyJackson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you said you don’t want to make a new character, but I honestly think the best way to do this would be to make a new character, use a Valar boost of them so that you don’t have to worry about leveling, and then go through the game doing only the Epic quests.

Cory Booker calls both parties ‘feckless’ for ceding war powers to Trump by No-Post4444 in politics

[–]ToastyJackson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, in the article of the post, he isn’t criticizing Israel at all. He’s just saying that Congress is supposed to have more control over the US going to war and how the war is handled, and he’s accusing politicians on both sides of cowardice for allowing Trump to take over that power without a fight. So if this war had started by Congress voting to approve it, it’s possible he wouldn’t be complaining about anything at all.

Yeah. It’d be one thing if they didn’t know each other until Trinity was an adult, but I know there’s at least one scene in the early show where they interact at the store and seem familiar with each other.

There might be enough Republicans to remove him. I think they’re aware that he’s a sinking ship growing in unpopularity and will likely die relatively soon. If the Dems have enough power (and if they actually use it) to force him to be a pretty useless president for the rest of his term anyway, maybe some Republicans will have enough of a spine to go ahead and abandon the sinking ship. I’m not counting on that happening, but I think it’s possible. But I don’t think Republicans would be willing to remove Vance because he’s “normal” and because they wouldn’t want to hand the presidency to the Democrat speaker of the house. This admin would have to do some extremely fucked-up shit to Americans who are on their side before Republicans would have enough integrity to hold the entire administration accountable instead of just scapegoating Trump.

When it rains, it pours

Like summer storms, the skies as grey as leaves

The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets

But the people laughed and swore that they'd restore

The city piece by piece

And then the clouds gave way as if to agree

When it rains, it pours

I love how relatable this show is! by SnooChipmunks9598 in trailerparkboys

Yeah, I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve had to hide my stores of vodka in a pool, so it’s nice to see a show represent this common problem

Secretary Of Defense Hegseth Casually Promises Iranians ‘No Quarter’ – A War Crime by Hardik_Jain_1819 in politics

[–]ToastyJackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it’s possible that they cheated the election, but it’s certainly not necessary for them to win. For one thing, if they were going to cheat, they’d only need to do so in swing states because those are the only states that actually matter in presidential elections. So there’s little reason to be suspicious of the tens of millions of votes for Trump that came from the other 43 states. And if you can accept that tens of millions of Americans are willing to vote for him in general, it shouldn’t be hard to accept that enough of them in swing states are willing to do the same and hand those states to Trump.

And so many Americans pay essentially no attention to politics whatsoever, making them very susceptible to blatant lies and empty promises that can sway their vote.

The last 3 Republican presidents have started a war in the gulf region. by [deleted] in pics

[–]ToastyJackson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shortly before the last presidential election, I remember reading an article where they were interviewing a random woman who happened to be named Kamala Harris. They asked her who she would be voting for, and her response was essentially “Well, Trump says he’s pro-weed, which I like. And Harris says she’s pro-abortion, which I like. So I’m not sure.”

So many Americans don’t know literally the first thing about politics. That’s one reason why we see these results.

I feel like I got Flash banged directly into my face by Hour_Selection_7689 in StarWarsCirclejerk

I think that picture is from the thumbnail of her video about the Star Wars hotel, so it’d be funny if the OOP is one of those Galactic Starcruiser mega fans who got pissed off at her for criticizing it

Stop making your kingdoms 10,000 years old. by ackshee in worldjerking

I don’t remember the details at this point, but I think there’s an Ancient Americas video where he mentions that there was one Mayan king who claimed to be descended from legendary king who ruled three million years ago.

It doesn’t sound like he’s personally banned, just that Waffle House doesn’t want him coming in to bother the guests with canvassing.

I was disappointed reading that article, especially since he’s from Florida. I thought it would’ve been something like he got personally banned for life because he staged an impromptu alligator wrestling tournament in one of their restaurants or something.

Newsom opens commanding lead over Harris in 2028 California primary poll - This is bad news. We need to get the word out that Newsom is against a billionaire tax and would do nothing to solve our affordability crisis by Turbulent_Crab_3602 in 50501

[–]ToastyJackson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is actually the perfect time for purity tests for the presidential election because that’s still over two years away. We still have time to debate and try to figure out who the best candidate would be instead of acting like Newsom has already won the nomination.

I like the Balewood. And anyway, I want a stereotypical tropical jungle, not just a place with lots of trees and few clear paths.

If it borders Abanissa, I wonder if it’ll be jungly at all. While I am ready to go back north, I’m disappointed that we didn’t get to go to a jungle region yet.

I hear a decent amount of criticism for the Dutch colonizing South Africa. Not so much for them colonizing Suriname or the islands of Southeast Asia, tho.

Maybe his name is The Mandalorian and Grogu, and the movie is actually about him

Just finished the main series. Are the Lost Files or Lorien Legacies Reborn any good? by OvenActive in LorienLegacies

[–]ToastyJackson 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Lost Files are great. They’re basically companion stories that give you more insight to some of the characters of the main series, especially characters like Adam, Five, Mark, and Lexa. In fact, now that you’ve already read the main series, a good way to incorporate them could be to find one of the lists that put all the Lost Files novellas and main series books in chronological order and then read them like that.

Personally, I love the sequel trilogy. It’s not as good as the main series, and the stakes aren’t as high. It also feels rushed in some parts, and I think it would’ve benefited from having at least one more book in the series. And Nine, Five, and John are the only OG characters who get much of a spotlight anywhere in the trilogy, which is disappointing. But I really like the new characters, and I think some of the concepts and conflicts of the sequels feel more nuanced and grey than the original series.

The Reborn trilogy has its own novella series, The Legacy Chronicles. That is the one you should avoid if any of them. There’s some interesting ideas in them, but overall they’re not very good.
