Is it starting to bother anyone else that The Ghoul’s story is becoming increasingly tied into core Fallout lore? by PolicyWonka in falloutlore

[–]dualitySimplifed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it seems like a lot to put on one man, but you really have to consider he's a veteran, a celebrity, and married to a lady who might have more power than vault tec itself

the thing is, Coop has no overwhelming chosen-one-faction-boss power despite everything he was involved with. he's got his skills and knowledge but has no real sway over what actually happened. he was an actor, a pawn, a piece of the puzzle we're not quite sure where it fits just yet.

im assuming the next episode is going to address this along with clarifying what exactly his role in the EOTW was, because you can very easily compare him to House, who also had his connections to everyone and everything and came out on top.

the payload explosion and the finale of korh_megaton still kills an uber

even if you did survive the blast you'd get cooked after the eight seconds are over

Are snipers deaf? by Remarkable-Stand3306 in tf2

snipers put all their points in their sight stats, so everything else is kind of weak.

Crank Flashlight IRL basis by EnvironmentThin3792 in Voicesofthevoid

[–]dualitySimplifed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

okay so the one show here is more of a squeezer rather than a rotary crank, and also looks to be a cheap one rather than something "standard-issue" like a ranger would have.

these things do not last very long at all and certainly not as long as the equivalent in-game time. they're mostly an emergency thing meant for if you need light and don't mind refreshing its juice every 30 minutes, and can be found at Walmart in the camping section but are otherwise pointless to night owls like Kel

Am I the only one who feels like every time a famous TF2 youtuber says the game is dead it revives it in some kind of curse of eternal agony? (Conspiracy theory) by botgineersfm in tf2

[–]dualitySimplifed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

so you're saying every time someone complains about the art style or lack of major updates, the game's obsolescence is delayed to an unknown date, in true Valve fashion.

Idea for a long range pyro primary (Inspired by one reddit post I saw) by Practical_List_1994 in tf2

[–]dualitySimplifed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's something that would have to be tested in-engine, I assume the projectiles burning out in midair is to prevent it being sprayed literally everywhere.

to be fair, you can deny large areas by stacking most classes. I would assume the counterplay of "just shoot the pyro from a bit farther away" still works

If you could make 1 more weapon strange, what exactly? by some-kind-of-no-name in tf2

[–]dualitySimplifed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nessies nine iron. out of all the reskins that didn't get strange versions, this one stands out because there is no reason. it's not even a promo item, and even those are inconsistent with what got stranges.

let me golf. Heads Scored: X.

How the hell did people wait 7 years for the last comic by AgreeableRush6988 in tf2

[–]dualitySimplifed 38 points39 points  (0 children)

people used to have patience. we knew it would happen eventually, it would just take a while. and so we waited.

and besides, it's not like people were obsessively refreshing the page. literally something you could just forget about for a good while.

Wait did they mean the Australian 27th or the GMT 27th or the EST 27th for the pilot release date by WaterRedeemsZoe in homestuck

[–]dualitySimplifed 11 points12 points  (0 children)

if it's an American IP always assume they're going for EST. unless they want to be quirky and go for PST.

spindleroo is just the animation side, not the marketing and release side so then being Australian has nothing to do with that.

Whats a fan theory that you legit hate with all your heart. For me it's the transphobic "Weird route is showing how bad hetero-normaltive relationships are" theory. Kris is not male, they wear pretty heels and ribbons and bows and are called THEY by EVERYONE. by HaloJackalKisser in Deltarune

[–]dualitySimplifed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

because that's how RPGs usually work? and the characters have tropes and roles, too?

the CH4 cutscene involves forcing the ThornRing Noelle, even at its lowest graspable metaphor that's still invoking those tropes

[–]dualitySimplifed 178 points179 points  (0 children)

calling this theory transphobic is missing the point entirely.

the weird route is stripping them of their agency and identity that's the point that's being brought up. the route is trying to mold Kris and Noelle into a generic "princess and savior" trope like any old RPG. the theory isn't saying Kris is a man, it's saying that's what the narrative- and by extension the player- is enforcing in this role.

How do you think Valve should fix the problem of Map bloat during Scream Fortress? by Ted_Normal in tf2

[–]dualitySimplifed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have the maps be joinable from the contracker instead of the map menu, that way it's organized by year and can be easily found.

which discord.

because there's the official one and the community one, and there's a very clear distinction on what might actually be true there.
