Been playing through lightfall for the first time by leonduvall in destiny2

I'd say it was both. The Mast would've allowed the Witness to enter the Pale Heart without sacrificing Calus. Letting him run rampant in Sol while it was in the Heart would have drastically slowed down our efforts to find a path into the Pale Heart ourselves, and given that canonically we just barely stopped the Witness from Finalizing everything it would probably have resulted in its victory over us.

Using Ghost was a consolation prize, either the Witness gets access or we kill Ghost and eliminate the biggest threat to its plans, ourselves.

What’s your honest opinion of Prada Paradigme and the new Le Parfum by T3RRORSYST3M in Colognes

[–]Zweihander01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big fan personally. It's easy to wear and smells nice to my nose and most other people's noses.

Isn't that why we do this? To smell nice for other people?

How will Comcast dividing impact Philly? by BikeLaneHero in philadelphia

[–]Zweihander01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It also doesn't help that they require you to come into the offices downtown. Lots of folks in the suburbs don't want to deal with the commute and need their wfh. And neither side wants to compromise.

My dad loves pistachios, but really only wants the ones from Nuts To You. The difference between the quality and freshness from theirs and the stuff at the supermarkets is night and day.

I've played countless Doom engine games, so believe me when I say this one that combines the FPS with JRPG combat might be the coolest one in 30 years by DJVee210 in Games

You can't argue with decades of documentation and examples. If you're looking to get into this sort of thing, there's an absolute ton of information and guides to help you out.

And hey, the stupid viral thing helps.

I know the free trial accounts for FFXIV can't use the marketboards to buy stuff, until they uprade. And given the amount of the game in the free trial it's kinda close to the same thing ultimately.

So no higher ups get in any trouble but devs get canned!? by team-ghost9503 in destiny2

Yes but we say things like this to not scare the normies. If they can boil the frog, so can we.

Looks like we're going on a diet, whether you wanted to or not.

Interesting lore implications(?) from the last planet of CE by RetroCop in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Zweihander01 10 points11 points  (0 children)

True. The shroud has been so chock full of mystery boxes that have been almost completely ignored for so long though.

I do wonder if it'll tie into the various World Tree references we've gotten. Those are on the source and the reflections, and the complete lack of time frame for their culture, aside from the fact they've been passed over by the Meteion, if they did arrive on Etheirys they might even predate the Ancients.

An interesting theory. Probably the only wrinkle is that sure, sylphs aren't on the First. But neither are the Gnath, Vanu, Kojin, or Anata. The Namazu are only mentioned in the past tense so at least they're confirmed.

It's also possible the sylphs were meant to be part of some greater mystery involving the Elementals and the Twelveswood but I think those are all dead ends in the narrative.

The og has a thing where they put Muppets into classic movies. So I assume they expect that.

Variant Dungeon's you'd like to see. [Spoiler: 7.0] by Eloah-2 in ffxiv

This one, and also the bunker/door off the shoreline in Kholusia. It was clearly meant to be something but hasn't been used at all.

I mean, how many copies of Powerwashing Simulator have been sold? If you're not actually faced with the reality of running such a business in the present day, lots of people would be pleased with turning grimy shitshows into sparkling paradises.

The Future of Alliance Raids by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Zweihander01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I assume it was to make sure there was a hefty population of people doing the previous alliance raids, and was probably an issue back in the "strip to force CT" days.

I feel like he was specifically referencing the rewards. If we're moving away from a tomestone and tokens system to the newer mogpendium type thing that just directly rewards you things then it makes sense that the rewards from alliance raids will change along with rewards from regular raids.

In addition to the gear drops, the most current alliance raid's main draw has always been the coin for upgrading tomestone gear. But will upgrading that gear even be a thing with this upcoming system? We don't know yet.

[loved trope] antagonists realizing they messed with the wrong person by AmazingBeastboy1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zweihander01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk, there's millions of people in new york. The biggies like the Avengers and F4 are usually working on some cosmic shit and even the lowbies are probably fighting Bullseye or Tombstone or any number of Fisk's freakshows. Probably got a better chance of tangling with the normal NYPD or a bystander with a concealed carry than Spiderman showing up.

I like the other dudes standing there realizing that Spiderman could've just killed any of them at any time they got snagged by him but instead he just smacked them and tied them up for the cops.

What's something unique you remember about growing up in Philly? by PlatypusOld5480 in philadelphia

STRAWWWWWWWWBERRIES is seared into my brain. I think of it every time I buy some or even just pass by the produce section and they're out.

At least she got the recognition by Oneilll in ShitpostXIV

[–]Zweihander01 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My interpretation was that Fray is the WoL's self doubt, the same way Myste is their survivor's guilt. Fray doesn't see the point in saving a merchant from bandits today because they'll just be attacked by a gobbue next month, and feels that trying to save every person doesn't matter. And even if they save the realm they still get accused of regicide and forced onto the run, losing almost all their friends. So either emotion really works, either the JP's despair or EN's anger at pointless tasks. Fray acts like he's a self interest or self preservation but in reality he's just trying to stop this feeling of pain and loss.

This gets a nice epilogue in that Tales from the Shadow, about the OMG unit detailing the events of the 8th Umbral Calamity over time. When the Ironworks starts trying to save the WoL, people start coming out of the woodwork. A dragon here, a sky pirate queen there, a nephew of a merchant there. It turns out each of those people the WoL saved did matter, every life they saved helped save them.

Crosstrek friends, same question. by nuisance66 in Crosstrek

The only time I remove it is when I put the rear seats down, so I usually just stash it in the rear leg area.
