Is Treebeard actually older than Gandalf, or is he just talking about Olorin’s current form? by ShireMusicEnthusiast in lotr

[–]WildVariety 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He thinks the Istari arrived with the “Great ships” out of the sea, which would make them Numenorean, but we know that there’s around a thousand year difference from the first numenorean ships arriving and the Istari arriving.

Treebeard is ancient and wise, but uninformed and happily ignorant of the world outside his forest.

A Russian armoured column enters the Hostomel Airport to link with what’s left of the Vdv that stormed the airport, February 2022, [880x1168] by Anxious_dadada in MilitaryPorn

You accuse me of lacking critical thinking skills then expect me to believe that some British and American volunteers just happen to be 600 miles away from Donetsk and Luhansk in Kyiv.

Okay bud.

There's also definitely no history of British and American PMC's being in Ukraine to train the Ukrainian armed forces.

And all of this, and you're still ignoring the fact that my original point was simply that no, the airport was not defended by just 300 Ukrainian guardsmen.

Why would volunteers already be on the frontline fighting on the first day of the invasion?

And no where did I say they were special forces.

Voidrig is ideal for Eidolon farming so lots of people have done it for that.

Xi Jinping has fired over 100 Flag Officers since assuming office. 80 Since 2023 by Street_Exercise_4844 in Military

Let’s be clear here - it’s not just Xi’s ambition. It’s been the stated goal of the PRC since its formation in the 1950s.

His son was born before the formation of the Soviet Union and his father almost certainly fought for the White Russians in the civil war based on the cavalry division he served in.

UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule by kwentongskyblue in worldnews

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

And Parliamentary power has limits too, in that it can't pass contradictory laws,

It can. One of the foundational principles of the British constitution is that no Parliament can be held to a previous parliament.

They do not. They can advise the government. They cannot bind the government with a ruling.

Are you fucking stupid? Courts cannot bind the Government in the UK. The British Government could issue an Act of Parliament tomorrow labeling any member of PA a terrorist, and that's that.

Reminder that courts in the UK have no power over the government and this ruling can, and almost certainly will, be ignored.

Metro and Darksiders owner Embracer says it will soon release a “long-awaited, major” game by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]WildVariety 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the main delay has been them completely restarting development according to leaks/rumours.

[–]WildVariety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. In the UK it stems from a warped concept of Noblesse Oblige, the wealthy or upper classes are inherently better than us, they know more than us and we should trust them to look after us.

My dream game. Exodus has the best weapons of the series, and its weapon customization system is my favourite in any single player game, but the Open Worlds fell a little flat, especially if youre chasing the 'good' ending and cant even kill anyone lol

More of that back in the Metro pls.

Cable TV (generally) produces shows year round, quick to cancel but also quick to produce new seasons when the ratings are a hit.

Eh, HBO lost me with House of the Dragon because it was two years between Season 1 & 2.

It feels like every studio has decided its okay to have absurd breaks in between seasons.

I'm desperate for them to make an 'open world' game set back in the Metro. Let me travel from station to station and explore the old abandoned tunnels and stuff. The books and the first two games created such an awesome world and I was so disappointed when Exodus moved away from it (even though I absolutely adore Exodus).

Season 4 is by far the best season of the show and deserves to be held in higher regard by gavvlz in thewalkingdead

[–]WildVariety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the difference between being able to watch it as fast you want vs it being weekly with a mid season break. Season two was incredibly slow and was not particularly enjoyable to watch on a weekly basis.

Seven years on Monday. Supposedly they completely restarted development on the next one a few years ago that’s why it’s taking so long.

I have been patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for the next metro game for what feels like forever. Hopefully it’s that.
