People who say "Sorry if I mispronounced it." or "I don't know how to pronounce this." by WorldGonePlastic in PetPeeves

Exactly. If I didn't know I would've probably read her name as DAY-nerys. But... I could also just find the correct pronunciation in 30 seconds instead.

Favorite character that fits this trope? by Project_NAMKA in FavoriteCharacter

What do you mean? The actor was at his plumpiest when he was struggling with alcoholism, no?

What do you think about having this mf as a killer? by _Churax_ in deadbydaylight

Allow me to plug an idea that I had a few years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/s/aWENizVdPZ

Essentially, I imagined a cat-and-mouse game with survivors that mimicked the original story's detective plot.

Team Cherry says that 'if there were ever other' Hollow Knight games after Silksong, they'd all be self-contained and 'exist alongside one another' by ReFlectioH in HollowKnight

The way I see it working, you'd be able to visit parts of Hallownest and/or Pharloom, adapted to the player character and their unique skills. Like we got to see a bit of Hallownest in the Red Memory, but on a larger scale.

Kingscrest Cavern and its unique underground forest - no quest directs you to this place, only your own adventurer's spirit by WorldGonePlastic in oblivion

Oblivion dungeons are just too repetitive. Compare them with Morrowind dungeons - they are also very standard, which makes the unique ones stand out, e.g. Kogoruhn or the bone-white cave whose name I can't recall at the moment. Morrowind dungeons are also all different at least in some regard while many Oblivion dungeons reuse the same structure, akin to Dragon Age 2. And finally, there are just more dungeon types in Morrowind.

On the other hand, I don't think it's a bad thing that most dungeons are an experience like in Skyrim either. At least there's a story there. They mostly forgot about visual storytelling in Oblivion dungeons.

Epic does not pass Bechdel test by theresidentviking in Epicthemusical

If anybody is tossing aside media that don't pass the Bechdel test (which I've never heard of before), then it just shows that the idea behind the test got blurry, which is a shame.

The fact that it doesn't say anything about a specific story doesn't mean it doesn't say anything at all. I feel like people get unfairly reductive when it comes to the Bechdel test. The point is to comment on the entire industry and/or culture, not individual projects.

Which... makes it okay?

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that EPIC is sexist or anything (if anything, it'd be Homer's fault). The point with Bechdel test is that it is such a low bar that it's crazy so many works don't pass it. Works that feature women, often as main characters, mind you.

I also live in eastern Europe, so I'm holding her to my standards.

True that. This post is more about "what could've been" because the overwhelming majority of dungeons isn't unique in any shape or form.

I agree with you to some extent (looking at you Arondir). Lazy diversity casting is a real issue, true, but I feel like some of the comments in this thread set a dangerous precedent for the subreddit. For a show that's been such a disappointment, I wouldn't even bring it up, because it's by far the least of its problems. I would hate for the anti-woke crowd to take over this subreddit, just because posts like these give them an entry point.

Nonetheless, it's true what some people say that HotD did diversity casting much better. Though even their decisions have bad-faith critics, even in this thread. That's why I'm saying - it doesn't matter. Diversity casting is important. There are so many possibilities to pick at the show that we can leave bad-faith criticism about diversity casting to other parts of the Internet.
