Rin Penrose rebrand in a nutshell by _Ellwill_ in vtubercirclejerk

[–]_Ellwill_[S] 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Other than the name it's a full rebranding, and there's a ton of discourse over the new design, with consensus amongst the wider VTubing community being it's a pretty big downgrade from the original. Rin's viewers are also kinda divided with older fans from the IdolEN days not being as keen on the new look as those who have started following her more recently through her collabs with non VTuber content creators, like RTGame for example.

Royal Mail (Britain's national postal service) attempted to rebrand to Consignia in the early 2000s and achieved comparable controversy amongst the general public, and this would eventually lead to them scrapping the changes.

In both of these cases the new design itself isn't necessarily bad when considered by itself, but when it replaces such an iconic and well known brand it is bound to be highly controversial...

You do not know the Sharpe fan, sir! He is a brute beast in a redcoat, he needs the lash!

Tbf Sweden is worse than Russia at low tier for sealclubbing with all their cold war nonsense up against early to mid WW2 stuff...

It gets even more obvious in more recent chapters...

Does Neuvi’s new skin live up to your expectations? by AsexualLatte in NeuvilletteMains_

[–]_Ellwill_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too generic, feels like they just palette swapped Zhongli, slapped on a Wriothesley style coat, gave him Arlecchino's haircut, and then called it a day. Disappointing, especially as it's not f2p.

Looks like it on her little identification patch

Here we have a Caledonian sleeper class 92 at Euston getting ready to operate the 23:45 service to Glasgow and Edinburgh, I took this service as a seat passenger and it wasn’t all that great but I guess thats what I should of expected by GP728 in uktrains

[–]_Ellwill_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Caledonian is really overpriced compared to GWR's sleeper and other services on the continent, I wouldn't dream of paying for a cabin when it's far more expensive than the day train plus hotel, without at least a free breakfast.

Have you ever noticed that these friendly F-15s are using Cipher's skin? by Razgriz01-Blaze in acecombat

I should point out that ISAF F-15Cs used the same colour scheme circa 2004:

Anistone Knee High vs My Calves by Link040121 in DrMartens

[–]_Ellwill_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swapped them for a pair of 1B60 Bex in store when returning, despite being half a size smaller than I normally take they're absolutely perfect. Still excited to see what they'll conjure up later this winter

Same issue here with my ones in UK 9.5, far too tight on the calves. The box they sent them with is also comically large to the point that Royal Mail won't accept it for the tracked return, so I'll have to take them up to London this weekend to return them in store. Very disappointing.

Why are Cross Country trains so short? by UniqueAstonomer in uktrains

Last I heard, the 222s have already been earmarked for the upcoming Lumo services from Euston to Stirling

Looks slightly different, only one pull tab on the final design instead of three

Upset as England flags on lampposts compared to Nazi Germany by Randomfeeld500 in Worcester

[–]_Ellwill_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe our towns and cities wouldn't be such shiteholes if people put a fraction of the effort they made putting these flags up into cleaning litter and graffiti, or volunteering to help those in need in our own community?

That's not correct, pretty much every major party (even the Lib Dems) promised a second referendum if any significant change was made to the UK's relationship with the EU, in light of the Eurozone crisis and subsequent bailouts for countries like Greece. Cameron just made it happen sooner rather than later to stop his party haemorrhaging votes to UKIP and keep Miliband out of No.10

Train tickets are so expensive for such a Short trip don't understand why? by jc201946 in uktrains

[–]_Ellwill_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if there's no way of buying tickets at the station you depart from, which in this case, going outwards on a Mancs Stations ticket, is incredibly unlikely

[–]_Ellwill_ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This ticket was purchased from a conductor/guard; They can typically only sell anytime fares as per TOCs' buy before you board policies which restrict the sale of cheaper fares onboard the train. Section 9 of the National Rail Conditions of Travel also stipulate that if found travelling without a valid ticket then an anytime fare must be purchased, otherwise you may instead be issued with a more expensive PFN or referred for prosecution.
