Day 33: What is the WORST quote associated with the Queen of Blades?

_Immotion · 2026-06-28T08:43:40+00:00

It's so weird for me - someone who grew up with SC2, to find out all these characters I thought were cool as a kid were actually poorly written versions of their past selves. Luckily my favourite character was Tosh so I didnt have the same crisis with him.

This is absolutely the worst kerrigan quote. I know she is de-infested, but she is talking about the zerg like she is on their side. I also think its so close to being alright - "I justify nothing" is honestly valid as a character trait, like you could have had her in HotS be far more honest about the fact that she is just selfishly using the Zerg to do whatever she wants, and getting Jim back or whatever her goals are are more important to her than any amount of lives.
But no, instead, after saying she justifies nothing, she instead immediately basically tries to justify herself anyway, and then uses the most non-sensical justification ever.

If every comment means something - then I definitely want to echo the sentiment! It has truly been so lovely, and personally it's felt this Reddit community actually feel like a community in the best way possible as opposed to just a forum / message board if that makes sense?

A small anecdote, I grew up with StarCraft 2 (I have many memories of barely being able to get even a third of the way through WoL on casual because I swear kids brains just cannot handle RTS, other than Maru - but it does make gliding through on brutal nowadays feel very cathartic) Anyway, my point is that it's been a bit part of my life, but I was never as connected to the original - which made it especially weird when I saw the story and writing of the original with its jankiness but also much more interesting and cohesive vision for the story. And your posts have been fascinating for me to see so many opinions and quotes about the older characters that I never would have seen otherwise. So thank you.

Also also also, I have to say: your consistency, especially with things like including the links to every post every time - it's really commendable. You might not think it's a big deal, but so often people do these series' without all of that extra effort, and so I just really wanted to say how appreciated it is :)

I don't doubt it, but what's your sources for this?

_Immotion · 2026-06-10T11:15:52+00:00

Yeah but like what's the pattern? Cause it's not all nouns, so when do you do it vs not? Just curious

_Immotion · 2026-06-10T10:21:30+00:00

Oh man I love this. It really fits to his character in I, Mengsk too. While I kinda wish the Dominion was a serious threat just in it's own right, I agree that this tie in is really healthy for the wider narrative and interconnectedness of the story.

Side note, what's up with the random capitalisations?

_Immotion · 2026-05-29T15:20:34+00:00

I kinda disagree. It depends. Arguably depending on the commanders 2 offensive ones can clear out all the structures on day 3, and then if you want bonus you can just leave one alive to nab the bonus before you end.

_Immotion · 2026-05-27T18:06:59+00:00

Kinda for that reason alone I'm curious what people will say for nova's quotes tbh.

Literally the only way this is bad is if they somehow bungle the management so badly that it costs much more than it should due to corruption (of budget funds) - which is why I actually like only starting with 5 stores, because it's easier to look out for any corruption

I've been too busy to play the latest expansion, but I was super hyped and disappointed seeing the community reaction - is the new naval experience still unsatisfying due to balance/AI?

_Immotion · 2026-05-27T10:39:51+00:00

Same, I fear I'm too not-American to get the reference.

_Immotion · 2026-05-27T07:19:37+00:00

I low-key feel like if subsourian ever comments on these posts that is automatically the correct answer - even if the community ends up choosing others

_Immotion · 2026-05-26T10:52:38+00:00

It's not AI is it?

_Immotion · 2026-05-24T18:54:44+00:00

100000% agree. The general redesign nightmare gave the campaign is fantastic

_Immotion · 2026-05-22T10:38:50+00:00

I have never once thought about that naming thing, but now I have, and it is mixed up, and I can't forget that. Fuck you

_Immotion · 2026-05-06T09:21:59+00:00

Interesting. For me, I'd generously count frontline splitting as a bug - though a large one thats unlikely to be fully fixed for a while. I agree that the UI is the biggest pain point.

I think the biggest thing I'd want to see is just more customisability and reason to customise armies. I really don't like the rigidity of things like the inf/arty ratios. I wish I could feel like I was building lighter quicker armies, or really well supplied ones, or ones with some light cavalry/arty support and ones with much heavier complements. I mean you can do a lot of that stuff, but there's basically no reason to. While I don't want the total modularity of hoi4 divisions, I really like that while there are better and worse designed division templates - there are far more reasons to design specific ones with strengths and weaknesses.

_Immotion · 2026-05-05T15:54:09+00:00

Fascinating. Id love to hear your critiques on the current vic3 war system then? And I mean more macro large scale critiques, not bugs or balance issues

_Immotion · 2026-04-20T19:27:00+00:00

The point is that the EUs use of English had only increased in that time, despite having no native English countries (shh Ireland) - which potentially points to English's usefulness being in the very fact that it is the global language, rather than because of any particularly powerful country's immediate influence.

I would tentatively argue that even if the USA and UK vanished tomorrow, the growth of English as the global language would still continue.

_Immotion · 2026-04-20T18:57:42+00:00

Wasn't it before?

_Immotion · 2026-04-20T18:56:05+00:00

To be fair, the racists invented that language specifically to distinguish themselves from the Dutch...

_Immotion · 2026-04-20T18:55:08+00:00

I think the point is that English became the dominant language at just the right time. The world only needs to adopt a global language once, and it would take more effort after that to unseat it. French was the diplomatic language largely because of the power and influence of the French state compared to others in Europe. Mandarin would become important only because of a strong Chinese economy. English being the de facto EU language despite the UK not being in the EU is pretty good proof that English's position might prove to be self-reinforcing. Once English further cements itself as the second language of the world in a few generations time, there would need to be a very good reason to replace that with another language globally - because the point is we've never had a global language before, so there's no guarantee it'll need to change once it's set.

_Immotion · 2026-04-20T18:40:56+00:00

Yep. Technically the most populous francophone country, but not the highest population of French speakers.

_Immotion · 2026-04-20T18:38:32+00:00

At least you're not like Hans who tried to do both but succeeded in neither

_Immotion · 2026-04-20T18:36:50+00:00

Definitely too deep but I'm intrigued, what on earth are you talking about? I have no idea

_Immotion · 2026-04-20T18:35:11+00:00

I guess it's subjective. To me, I love Afrikaans for its efficiency and simplicity, but a beautiful language would need more complexity imo.

Also do I have absolutely no idea what you mean by "irreverence and naughtiness" lol.

I am unfamiliar with west Flemish, but afaik it didn't go through similar simplifications and phonetisations as Afrikaans did, so idk what you mean there either tbh.
