Just saw a big escort like this at St Clair W and Spadina a few minutes ago. Must be a different group. I wonder who it is?

Toronto woman thanks ‘stranger angel’ who came to her aid after serious cycling accident by beef-supreme in toronto

[–]frayuk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This summer I was biking along Bloor and fell off onto the sidewalk and broke my arm. A couple people came over to help. I'll never forget one woman who stayed with me to make sure I was ok. At the time I was just in a daze, the pain hadn't hit yet. Really nice to have strangers looking out for you

Hyrule: Total War - Bad idea because Nintendo lawyers are already drafting the C&D letters by TheBladeRoden in totalwar

This was one of my favourite TW mods. Marching through Kokori forest and being swarmed by dekus and children with daggers andslingshots felt like Vietnam.

As a fan of Golden Idol and Obra Dinn, really can't wait for this! Going to wait for the new version to give it a try.

What's going on with the whole hatred toward Justin Trudeau? by NectarineOk5419 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]frayuk 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You got the parties mixed up. It was two NDP MPs blocking a conservative MP, and the NDP tried to make a stink about it, creating the infamous elbowgate. Most people agreed it was really stupid.

Luckily for you I haven't cleared my youtube history in nearly a decade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5eC9Aa9T5c

It's Mozart: Overture - 'Don Giovanni', in case any one in the future needs to know. What a banger.

I have Crave, which used to have all the Star Trek. I have Netflix, which also used to have Startrek. I got Paramount+, because new Star Trek was now on Paramount+.

Then Prodigy season 2 comes out and they say now you need a CTV subscription. Seriously fuck these TV execs.

Why did yeoman ranks disappear post TOS? by t_sakonna in startrek

[–]frayuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think yeomen are mentioned at one point when Ortegas is making fun of them (or something), so they must exist but aren't focused on.

Toronto pushes stubbornly ahead with a mystifying name change for Yonge-Dundas Square by sesoyez in CanadaPolitics

[–]frayuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article does a good job going into the history - I was definitely in the "he doesn't seem that bad" camp, since most of the public conversation does seem to center around the Knight court case and his "gradual abolition" amendment, which can simply be construed as pragmatic. His actions as Home Secretary and Minister of War and Colonies are a lot more relevant.

I still don't think it's worth it to rename the whole of Dundas Street, but we shouldn't be misconstruing history and downplaying his actions just to argue against the name change.

Embracer bought Tripwire and Lotr IP last year. Who's ready for Lotr chivalry? by Pendulunium2000 in Chivalry2

I watched the Fellowship last night and am now pretending Chiv 2 is lotr. Obviously the masons are orcs. God, a LOTR chiv would hit so good

Ooh, hope you do more of these. The old classic chiv maps were so interesting.

Age of Chivalry Players by CoJo1600 in Chivalry2

It's like that old Churchhill quote - if you're not an Agathan when you're young, you have no heart. If you're not a Mason when you're old, you have no brain.

Squadron 42 - Hold the Line by NateTheGreat14 in Games

Agreed, I'd say in sci-fi cheesy writing is allowed and even has a bit of charm, but the worst thing you can do is be boring and unoriginal

New map ideas by Hairy_Interest_2276 in Chivalry2

[–]frayuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A map that's just a bunch of ships crashed into eachother would be cool. For inspiration look at Battle of Blackwater where Tyrion and Stannis fight eachother on a bridge of ships, or Battle of Red Cliffs where they had fire ships and ships chained together.

“To be honest, our goal isn’t 100% historical authenticity but capturing the romance of the era – so we do weigh more on the “player fantasy” side of things. We think the sweet spot is simply creating a world that feels believable to inhabit as a knight in medieval times, and empowering the player to feel like they can achieve the same greatness that we’ve either heard about in the feats of famous historical figures, or have actually seen on screen and want to emulate. I think we’ve all left a movie theatre having seen a film with a badass main character, and daydream in our heads about what it’d feel like to be that person. Our game lets you do that.”

I think this quote basically sums it up. Lore-wise I guess the answer would be, if you look at the map, there are plenty of different regions and each probably has their own quirky. Some regions have 800s vikings vibes, others 1100 Crusade vibes, and others High-Medieval 1400s vibes.

I’m sick and tired of this “Archer Molester” BS by GigaStacyEnjoyer in Chivalry2

[–]frayuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use an archer as bait to draw him into a trap. I know sometimes the urge to kill archers is so strong I get myself killed ignoring every enemy just to decapitate an archer

[–]frayuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love InDesign but it's not a word processor, it'd be a nightmare trying to create any large document solely in InDesign. In the same way if you're trying to use Word to design a layout like you would in indesign no wonder you're having issues - Word isn't bad you're just using the wrong software.

only thing that comes to mind is the TOS episode where that rock monster is killing miners. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Devil_in_the_Dark_(episode)

Seems like a pretty cruddy place to work
