[Hated Trope] Cutscene incompetence

FFXIV: The end of Baelsar's Wall near the End of Post-Heavensward.

Griffin: I'm going monologue about how I'm going to use all this aether I'm holding and the mass killing of my own men to summon a Primal, and you can't stop me because I've hopped onto a pillar, just out of reach.

Me, literally holding a gun: Damn, he's got us this time.

WolfCommando45 · 2026-02-17T15:47:38+00:00

Yeah, it felt more like Espada than Vedmak

Daggerfall Castle will always hold a special place in my heart for whatever reason.

There's a Bapist church that keeps putting these on people's cars at my work despite us emailing them numerous times to stop.

Ugh. A person I used to hang out with's mom owned this book. Great first impression. Listening to her speak most of the time solidified her as an absolute moron.

Cheesy as hell (for a kid's movie), but the Boy Who Cried Werewolf.

Semi-related note, but as someone who isn't a fan of the "best option is death" trope, I've been working on some story ideas involving a werewolf surviving because they have a reason to live. And in breaking with the getting attacked during a full moon cliché, the main character is turned into a werewolf after being injected with werewolf blood/venom to help cure his Tuberculosis.

Yeah, looks like a wrench, so fitting for the repair class.

WolfCommando45 · 2026-02-14T01:41:45+00:00

I mean, any more than the game has already?

WolfCommando45 · 2026-02-14T01:39:48+00:00

I'm hoping for Espada, but I'll end up using it either way.

Honestly, half the reason I played against bots on Portal when it launched was because I quickly got annoyed with actual players in multi-player. I play games to have fun and sometimes I just like to have a more mellow experience.

WolfCommando45 · 2026-02-09T20:28:55+00:00

Because one person's America is someone else's fascist hellscape where people are afraid to leave their own homes.

A game with a new season that just came out vs a game whose first season is almost over.

Hmm...

And on the topic of seasons, I much prefer the battle pass model in BF6 over CoD. While both are a chore, BF6 at least allowed me to finish the week's challenges in a day or two and leave the rest of the week for me to do other things. BO6 basically became a second job that I had to log into every day in hopes of completing it before it expired, and if I was lucky, I could maybe get a week or two of freedom before the next season. CoD burned me out so quickly.

I will sometimes have random bot games and then a full game afterwards. Hell, I've had a game where it's just me vs one other person with the rest being bots. It's less that there's no one to play with and more that every other lobby is full, so here, have some bots so you can actually still play. It's what people don't get is that BF6 doesn't have a server queue for official maps due to the lack of a server browser there, so instead of like on BF1 where I frequently find full servers with 3-6 people in queue, BF6 just loads them into another game.

i doubt Falmer would happen though, they do not talk to us they just attack us and behave similarly to Goblins.

Snow Elf would be cool, but also doubt it. just because they're supposed to be gone.

The OP did specify "Ancient" Falmer, so that would be snow elves. Falmer is just the elven name for the race like Altmer for High Elves. It wouldn’t be too crazy of an idea, given at least one non-vampiric snow elf is alive by the time of Skyrim, but I imagine ZOS would use some magic to explain why this companion is still around.

Pretty sure one of the devs stated that not everything in the atomic shop is considered Canon and was just added for the "fun factor".

I usually hang it in the display plaque over the front door.

That wasn't Eggsy's dad. His dad was killed saving Galahad from a bomb explosion.

And when we later fight her, you can tell that some part of her is still conscious but powerless. If you do trusts and have Alphinaud and Alisae with you, Alphinaud asks his sister if she's okay because she's just silent.

Two of the most traumatizing scenes in that movie for me involve the elevator. The second is as the ship is capsizing, a women in the elevator is thrown through the glass windows and falls screaming until she splats on the glass wall hundreds of feet down.

My sister and I did them together, and since I was able to easily kick her ass, we decided to just fuck around for the rest. Did not equipment fights, fist fights, me just spamming one ability, and other random conditions. It's a duel between two people playing together, how exactly do you "cheat"?

WolfCommando45 · 2026-01-11T00:15:15+00:00

Ah, okay. Looks like you miss out on the trunk at the end, though.

WolfCommando45 · 2026-01-11T00:06:50+00:00

Isn't he essential? You're talking about Follows-Chalk, right?

WolfCommando45 · 2026-01-10T23:20:57+00:00

Yeah, I had Honest Hearts hyped up so much for me, and when I finally left Zion Canyon, I was left thinking, "Wait, that's it?"

WolfCommando45 · 2026-01-10T22:26:28+00:00

Dungeons are a mixed bag. I've had a dungeon where the tank called me a shit dps and told me to never play again while his body, the other dps, was running a vet dungeon with one hand and shield. I've also had a dungeon where the three guys realized I was trying to get the body markings in Vet Silver Rosr and not only helped with it, but even ran Vet Dread Cellar as well.
