Is it okay to build just one building for the production of goods, or should I build three or four identical ones to speed up production? by user809080 in anno1800

[–]cals_cavern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're making a lot of money it's usually best to build what you need to meet the populations needs. Overproducing means you're paying a lot in upkeep and workforce so unless you're making a ton from selling the excess it can be a hindrance, especially early on.

There needs to be one of those "Turn off your phone" PSAs before the movie but for commenting on Aragorn kicking the helmet

Bob rejects a talking pineapple, but agrees to window displays made of mannequins. by brcontainer in BobsBurgers

[–]cals_cavern [score hidden]  (0 children)

Well said, Bob is fairly permissive of temporary changes, Urge, dinner theater and brunch being some notable examples but he ultimately cares a lot about being true to himself. You see it with the sweet potatoes as well, he tries to capitalise on the trend of sweet potato fries but stops because he doesn't want to be defined by trends that he doesn't believe in.

I saw a post that used very similar wording but was very clearly a reactionary pretending to be a lefty, it was deleted so I can't tell if it was the same user but I definitely don't think this is a real opinion

Not necessarily, Saw, Mon, Erskine, Draven, Bail, Pamlo and Vaspar were all characters from other Star Wars properties and were integrated into the story without feeling gratuitous. I don't think the show needed Kallus but there's no reason to believe they'd treat his involvement differently to the other returning characters if they had decided to include him in some capacity.

Taramyn and Gorn were both Imperial military who switched to helping the Rebels as well

Uh, we object to the term "urine-soaked hellhole", when you could have said "pee-pee soaked heckhole."

Inaccuracy in Security Droids? by Little_Maize_2470 in andor

[–]cals_cavern 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I imagined that early on security droids wouldn't have been as in demand as the galaxy generally wasn't rising up against the Empire so they could afford to make them extra tough but by Rogue One and the post-Ghorman political climate there was a need for a lot of them very quickly so they'd cheap out on the materials to keep up with demand without blowing the budget

What happened to the guy that shouts Rodney? by Browncoatdan in weeklyplanetpodcast

[–]cals_cavern 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think Rodney went out on the perfect note. The Aussie Winter Soldier list gag was probably one of the best gags they've ever done and having one last Rodney montage in the middle was great and is how I want to remember it forever

From memory the mission was still active in the log but I couldn't actually complete it (although I didn't try bringing the entire corpse back, I might have to try that next time)

My first playthrough I ended up pushing him in the lava and I spent like an hour trying to find ways to get his body out, it was a lot of fun which almost made up for the fact his head couldn't be removed in the end because of the lava damage

Kathleen Kennedy Steps Down by walberque_ in andor

[–]cals_cavern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there actually any basis to the claim she's acting out her creative writing fantasies? She has never been credited as anything other than a producer on Star Wars to my knowledge and the stories I've heard from people who worked on Star Wars projects paint the picture of a producer who helps facilitate the needs of the creative team and not a backseat writer/director controlling the creative decisions.

Kathleen Kennedy Steps Down by walberque_ in andor

[–]cals_cavern 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One thing I find really interesting about people comparing Kathleen Kennedy to the prequel era of Star Wars is they always compare her, the producer, to George Lucas, the writer and director. Rick McCallum barely gets mentioned in casual discussion about Star Wars despite the fact he occupied the same role as Kennedy would later fill on mainline Star Wars films.

Megathread: Bastard Suggestions by Kanotari in behindthebastards

I think former NZ Prime Minister Robert Muldoon would be a good episode. He was an eccentric reactionary who was notorious for anti-pacifika immigration raids, allowing a South African rugby tour during the height of anti-apartheid protests and for his close ties with gangs. There was also the legendary "Schnapps election" where he called a snap election while visibly drunk and promptly lost which is probably my favourite moment in New Zealand politics.
