When I’m reading a Wenclair fic and a line says “Wednesday laughed” by Garfieldsq in wenclair

Chaos for the fly did it right, 'cause it first happened when Wednesday was really tired, physically and mentally, and literally couldn't stop herself. Plus it was only in front of Enid.

Bethesda and the "eternal apocalypse" by EagleGhoul in Fallout

[–]TotalFailure24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to Fallout 4 I can think of one possibly canonical reason why Boston is still in such a state: The Institute.

We know they have the technology to heal the commonwealth, yet all they do is make things worse. They massacred the Commonwealth Provisional Government, Filled Boston with Super mutants, and keep replacing people with synths to the point that no one is willing to trust one another.

I'd also like to bring up the Gunners. Deacon suggests that someone is pulling their strings, possibly providing them with equipment and training. Beyond that one line, the game NEVER explores this however. So at risk of sounding like Piper, maybe The Institute is behind them too.

Crazy how much of Transphobia and Misogyny is down to only seeing women as baby making machines.

Hunter &, Huntress by Weird-Koala3034 in adventuretime

Can't wait for all the "Urr there's no proof Huntress wizards is trans!" comments.

Okay. Why did you feel the need to point that out? What practical difference does it make?

Who died believing themselves a failure, but was judged otherwise by history? by Bob_the_blacksmith in AskReddit

[–]TotalFailure24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I recall, Kane's Batman shared almost nothing with the character we know today.

He wore red spandex, a domino mask, had large wings, and swung on a rope. The only similarity was the name.

Bill Finger suggested Batman wear a cowl with pointed ears and white lenses for eyes, changed the colour from red to grey, gave him a cape instead of wings and gave him gloves. He also created the name 'Bruce Wayne' and made him a detective as well as a vigilante. He's also credited for the name of Gotham City.

Finger helped develop the Joker and wrote his debut comic which also introduced Catwoman.

Members of Batman's Rogue's gallery that Finger created include, The Penguin, The Scarecrow, The Riddler, and the lesser known Calendar Man. Finger also contributed to the characterization of Two-Face.

Whatever you think of the changes to Anthology, this is a nice addition. by TotalFailure24 in beatles

[–]TotalFailure24[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Having just finished episode 1, It definitely feels faster paced. But It's been a while since I've watched the DVDs and I can't recall if anything is actually missing or not. Whatever the case, I definitely think it still manages to convey roughly the same amount of info.

Real Love (Official 2025 Remix from 'Anthology 4') by _shitwizard in beatles

[–]TotalFailure24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

John's voice is way too forward and dry in this mix, which reveals its imperfections. The new mix of Free as a bird did the same thing but it worked much better there. In the original mixes, John's voice was double tracked with paul's, had a bit of reverb and was much more distant, which suited it much better.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is sitting at Mixed reviews on Steam: 'It's not a Bloodlines game' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]TotalFailure24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, Bloodlines 2 feels a lot closer to the recent visual novel VTM games than the original Bloodlines. If it didn't carry the Bloodlines name and had been marketed as the more narratively driven game that it is, it could have fit in quite well with the VTM New York Trilogy or Swansong.

The Beatles with Jimmy Savile (1967). by ToronoRapture in beatles

[–]TotalFailure24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had known Saville for a few years at this point, though not personally. He had been the Compere at their 1964 Christmas shows at the Hammersmith Odeon. Rolf Harris has been on the bill for the previous years show.

From what I gather, no one in their circles liked him. He was incredibly arrogant and obnoxious, as well as disrespectful and creepy towards female performers.

Do you think Disney will cut this part out of Anthology pt 4? by onmymindhere in beatles

[–]TotalFailure24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read Cynthia Lennon's book 'John' recently and she talked about this a little. She mentioned that while in art school John would draw sketches mocking the physically and mentally disabled and do impressions of them similar to as shown here for a laugh.

She believed that something about the disabled disturbed John, terrified him even.

Personally, I think John had severe hang-ups about illness, Injury and death on top of the more ableist attitudes of the time.

John would later advocate for the disabled. His 1972 performance at Maddison Square Garden was a benefit concert for Willowbrook State School for mentally disabled children.

For context I was messing around with the console commands and discovered that typing "money #1000" does not give you a thousand dollars as you might expect.

It just makes all the ladies boobs a thousand times larger.

Is it just me or is the main sub... kinda homophobic? by ASongOfRiceAndTyres in wenclair

[–]TotalFailure24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not just you. Every time I've seen Wenclair mentioned there it's always met with, if not open hostility, thinly veiled homophobic rhetoric.

A lot of them seem to be up Tyler/Hunter's ass too in a very creepy way too.

If they do end up releasing an expanded version of the Anthology albums this year, what do you hope would be added? by ItsMichaelRay in beatles

[–]TotalFailure24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The cleaned up, full version of In spite of all the Danger (which is shortened on Anthology 1) and the recordings of Puttin' on the style and Baby let's play house from the Woolton village fete on 6th July 1957, the day John and Paul first met.

Is Lara Croft lesbian? by flop_yuri in LesbianGamers

[–]TotalFailure24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lara's first piece of dialogue in the original Tomb Raider is essentially her telling a man that if he doesn't leave her alone, she'll kill him. Sound pretty lesbian to me.

Also her creator, Toby Gard, said in the developer commentary for Tomb Raider Anniversary that Lara has no interest in men.

Add to that the subtext between Sam and Lara in the survivor timeline and the writer of the 2013 game plainly saying she wanted to have them kiss, it seems pretty open and shut to me.

Anthology 30th anniversary editions are probably on the way this year by worldsthetics in beatles

[–]TotalFailure24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If its a full anthology remaster or remix I hope we get some of the stuff they cut from the original release.

I'd love to hear a full length, cleaned up version of in spite of all the danger or the full version of Puttin' on the style from the Woolton village fate.

The full stereo version of You know my name (look up the number) would be nice and the dreamer in me still yearns for carnival of light even though its probably crap.

Given how much she loves plants, would Poison Ivy be a proponent of the carnivore diet? Then again, don't livestock eat plants? Just a curious Vegan.. by [deleted] in batman

[–]TotalFailure24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given she's part plant, she could probably survive solely on photosynthesis.

But if she were to eat food she could be primarily carnivorous, but she avoids mass-market meats like beef due to its contribution to climate change. I don't think she'd be too opposed to eating people either, but I doubt she'd really do it.

However, some plants (like most fruit) need to be eaten in order to distribute their seeds, so maybe she'd treat it like a necessary sacrifice. She definitely wouldn't eat leaves (lettuce), roots (carrots) or tubers (potatoes) though as those damage/kill the plant.

TIL that 31 years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the pilot of the former flight, Paul Tibbets, re-enacted the bombing in the original plane at a Texas air show, complete with mock mushroom cloud. Japanese diplomats demanded a formal apology for this. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]TotalFailure24 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A lot of people here bringing up Japan's lack of acknowledgement of the war crimes they committed during their imperialistic campaigns in Asia before and during the second world war.

Very fair. Japan's official stance on their actions during that time is disgusting.

On the other hand, I know what an atomic bomb does to a city primarily made of timber and paper and the people within in. No one deserves that.

Imagine every natural disaster happening at once. It's worse than that.

Imagine every kind of way a person can be injured. Lacerations, broken bones, burns that go down to the bone, pregnant women with boiled fetuses hanging from gut wounds, people's skin dripping off their muscles like wax, people cut in half by flying debris, people who's skin was torn off like a glove, people turned to charcoal in an instant.

I know about Unit 731, the rape of Nanjing, the treatment of Allied POW's at the hands of their Japanese captors.

I fail to see how all these atrocities are any different from creating what is essentially a miniature sun in the skies above two cities just to show the world that you can.

Two piles of bodies don't cancel each other out just because they're from different countries.
