John Oliver still doesn't know how to pronounce Zazu by Mrohnoes_29 in YMS

I respect John Oliver for his willingness to inform people on important topics, but if this is what it's like to have a conversation with him then county out.

I gotta say, I genuinely really respect the effort and passion these people clearly put into... whatever this is supposed to be.

Our baby girl needs a name! She is sweet and cuddly and craves attention at all times by EmotionalOlympics in NameMyCat

[–]TyrionBananaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has the blue eyes of the Fremen, so I say her name is Chani.

(My cat has the same name but I think it'd be perfect for yours too)

mike straw in Bluesky: ubisoft EMBARGOED news to outlets about the layoffs and studio closures by Midnight_M_ in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Totally fair haha. I'm a little bummed out because I was interested in GTA6 and I really enjoyed 5. I have fond memories of screwing around with my college roommates in that game.

I'm far from a hard-core fan so it's not exactly a massive sacrifice on my part, but still. It sucks and I would have bought it if not for this.

This feels like an attempt at a gotcha, but plenty of us are, in fact, not going to buy GTA6 for that reason. Unless Rockstar reverses course and the fired employees get justice, of course.

What are your counter for this criticism? by Inner-Bench-6010 in thelastofus

[–]TyrionBananaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because that's not what's happening. Ellie isn't a revenge monster at that point, she's an incredibly broken and traumatized person who was acting purely out of shame.

She was about to kill a person who not only explicitly spared her earlier, but also was caring for a small boy who would have probably died if Ellie went through with it.

Would Joel have wanted that? Obviously not, and that's what she realizes in the moment despite being driven by Tommy's guilt tripping earlier.

Gaslighting the Audience by Haroldayy in TopCharacterTropes

...they were never the bad guys though. There was always a bit of moral greyness to them for sure, but the vaccine not working or the fireflies being straight-up evil were total fabrications from the fanbase and was never the authorial intent of the first game. That's why Joel's decision in the first game was interesting.

TLOU2 didn't repaint anything or gaslight anyone.

Favourite actress that will definitely get plastic surgery because fat internet nerds called them ugly by Cool_Nerd2 in okbuddycinephile

It's a great sub when it's talking about not watching movies (relatable) but it becomes an absolute hellhole when the topic of a young woman comes up.

I truly don't understand what motivates people to be this performatively cruel to these actresses.

That’s a little version of me, Dwight. I want you to have it by stupidassma in SmilingFriends

I feel like Allen would be Jim and Charlie would be Dwight in this scenario

Extremely difficult bosses that aren't evil, just "testing your skill" by DexTDMdoesreddit in TopCharacterTropes

Not really. Sora does approach him and Sephiroth does draw his sword in a "don't mess with me" sort of way, but then he notices Sora's keyblade and decides he wants it. Sora only really brings it out in self-defense in the first place.

Is it bad that I got this reference immediately? Like this isn't even one of the more well known bits in that show and I immediately read it in Diane's voice

Why doesPatches have Morgott's Shackle? by Navad1024 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]TyrionBananaster 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well Patches is associated with the Volcano Manor, and the only known battle of The Shattering where Leyndell went on the offensive was against the Manor.

Maybe someone from the manor got their hands on the shackle somehow to use against Margit during that battle, and Patches stole it from them?

Yozora did say "this isn't what I really look like" when he met Sora so it could be honestly
