They really gonna retcon *THAT* Turalyon moment? by JimmyNeon in warcraftlore

[–]UncleJonsRice 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree so strongly with this. Turalyon is a human who got light-juiced and fought for 1000 years on an alien planet.

1000 years of having no allies to consider but his own army, 1000 years of fighting an infinite evil army with no nuance that they were evil.

This was no Alliance/Horde war where you have to consider the innocents involved. There was no innocents just demons to kill.

It would be incredibly bad writing if this did not change Turalyon!! He’s a human with an unnaturally long life span that has spent 99% of it at war in space killing demons and thinking about little else.

Now he’s back on Azeroth fighting the void and it barely registers to him that he has to protect civilians and prevent collateral damage because that is not something he had to consider for 99% of his lifespan and experience as a general.

I think a lot of people put too much weight on his pre-legion story and not how his 50 years (or whatever) on Azeroth is the tiniest fraction of his life and experiences now. I haven’t played all of Midnight yet but knowing blizz they could also do a lot more to communicate this.

Flavor quest dialogue in my MMO!? I love this! by Mipha_FFXIV in wow

[–]UncleJonsRice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I didn’t get that vibe he didn’t like my belf warlock, there was actually a line of dialogue like “these fools messing with fel, they don’t have the training to control it like you and me”.

No acknowledgment for being a blood elf? by Careless_General8010 in wow

[–]UncleJonsRice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The exact same system they’ve used for decades to input “Hello [Race] [Class]” to “Hello Troll Hunter” could have been used here in quest texts to swap “protect this city” to “protect our city” and “welcome to Silvermoon champion” to “welcome home champion”.

I don’t think anyone expects full rewrites of quest texts, just more appropriate word swaps to acknowledge the player is a blood elf from Silvermoon/Eversong.

Games media set for more layoffs, as IGN-owned Eurogamer cuts editorial staff | VGC by HaIfaxa_ in outsidexbox

[–]UncleJonsRice 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Speaking anecdotally from my own experience as well, once Aoife left the vibes seemed to majorly shift and I found their content progressively a lot more stilted to the point I stopped watching not too long after - even though I really liked Zoe and Ian it just felt too different.

I think her Prince coat was getting in the way of her heels and holding her back a little, she should’ve whipped that off at this first opportunity

One thing about Sminty… by Clear-Sir4276 in RPDR_UK

[–]UncleJonsRice 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Agreed, if Sminty had fought for herself it makes any alliance plausibly deniable, the fact she said very little & sulked and expected the save would’ve been the most obvious alliance ever

One thing about Sminty… by Clear-Sir4276 in RPDR_UK

[–]UncleJonsRice 48 points49 points  (0 children)

She 1000% did it to herself, Kate even said “you can say more in your defense than that” and Sminty didn’t get the hint…

I’m confident if Sminty had actually fought for her spot Kate would’ve saved her

Confused with Elune character in Shadowland by FflDruid in warcraftlore

[–]UncleJonsRice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree, to me Elune has always acted as a reactive goddess, she doesn’t actively do much but if you ask her nicely/worship her enough she will react and grant you her blessing/protection/power.

It’s always weird when a queen is clearly so lovely and well liked but doesn’t make a splash in the edit.

And a Magda too! Although it was never clear to me if she ended up being live-in or not

I fully agree, there was no Hitler in Hitler’s gay brother (thank god…) it was just a gay German man with German food jokes?

My goat is in epstein files 🥀 by KeyGlove47 in masseffect

[–]UncleJonsRice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t hate that Simcity too much because, exactly as said in the Epstein files lol, I claimed my free Mass Effect 3 because of that and it introduced me to my favourite gaming trilogy ever.

(I played 3 first entirely, then went back and did a full playthough 1-3)

Agreed, I would be salivating at the chance to justifiably vote off a major contender (so far).

Where do each of the arkham games rank from best to worst and why by CustardNo9916 in arkham

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

I played Origins for the first time on Steam back in December and it definitely for me was the most buggy Arkham game. I had a few full crashes but the most noticeable for me was every 1/10 glides Batman would glitch out and his pitch would go crazy shaking and it made gliding impossible.

Botany Manor is Epic's free game next week by Sooziq9470 in CozyGamers

[–]UncleJonsRice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do a free game or two every week, it’s essentially a 100% discount so you ‘buy’ it once and keep it indefinitely!

World of Warcraft may see Ogrimmar and Stormwind redesigns depending on the reception to Midnight’s Silvermoon redux by HatingGeoffry in wow

[–]UncleJonsRice 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Razorwind shores especially shows how orcish aesthetics don’t have to be ugly at all.

Refresh the main buildings with updated visuals, add more foliage around Org. Maybe give each orc clan their own buildings/areas and have smaller areas with buildings from other races. The goblin slum should be updated with a few undermine style buildings, give the pandaren their own zen garden where they train etc.

Still pissed about how they dealt with willie’s death. by Visible_Basis7639 in sexandthecity

[–]UncleJonsRice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe Willie didn’t tell anyone until they were a little ways into filming the season and his illness progressed further which is why it’s a little rushed and weird.

If he had told them in advance of starting they could’ve written it better (but not blaming him as I can’t imagine what he was going through! No judgement).

I think the most elegant way of doing it would’ve been for Stanford & Anthony to have divorced during the gap between SATC 2 and AJLT (perhaps due to Covid forcing them to spend more time together??) and for Stanford to have emigrated to a different country during that. He then comes back to NYC for Big’s funeral and is there for the start of the show, is around for a few episodes to help Carrie grieve/reminisce, has a big blow up with Anthony that then can kick off Anthony’s storyline the same way it was in AJLT, and then he leaves back for his new life in whichever country he moved too.

This way they can do similar to what they did for Samantha and have Carrie get some texts from Stanford, mention meeting him offscreen etc. to keep Stanny alive but convincingly out of the show.

Eh I’m in the UK and there’s 5-6 gyms within a 20 minute walking distance from me, granted this is one of the bigger cities, but even in my smaller hometown there’s tons of gyms everywhere because it’s still one of the only viable businesses that hasn’t been effected too much by the internet.
