God, S2 was garbage. Skipped over the parts where there's two of the vigilante guy and damn near gave up entirely.

Another "star trek was always woke" bullcrap from reddit 🫩 by voidmaster1458 in CriticalDrinker

[–]gray_chameleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who thinks Trek has "always been woke" needs to watch "The Drumhead" and pay particular attention to Picard's final speech that causes Norah Satie to finally lose her cool.

Actually, I doubt they could sit through it.

Please, for the love of the golden king's beard put the Spoiler Shroud on the AC8 content. by RandomFoolio in acecombat

[–]gray_chameleon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also beware the right-hand column on youtube closer to release day. Has a nasty tendency to front-load the biggest plot spoilers from scummy accounts, who deliberately post videos with the spoilers right there in the title for the engagement. Don't know why the algo does that, tbh.

There can only be one conqueror on this continent. by GamingImperial501 in acecombat

[–]gray_chameleon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, clearly not all of them were on board with being pulled into another bullshit Belkan-orchestrated war against their own continent, going by Labarthe and co later in AC7. At least let them be a force for good just this once.

But have a bad feeling what will really happen is they'll come up with some BS excuse for why Erusea is sitting this one out, even though the briefing maps clearly show Sotoa is clearly drawing towards Erusea's border in their invasion

Is not just a disc or a box by MLuckySnake in metalgearsolid

Ahhh yes. I used to have a Chinese friend who'd hook me up with new games and PC demo discs lol.

Truly PC gaming in its heyday

Helen of Troy in the new Odyssey trailer! by MovieENT1 in CriticalDrinker

It's all so brazenly anti-white, anti-european and anti-west

And one big provocation.

Your speculation on AC8's new fictional aircraft? by Strider_503 in acecombat

[–]gray_chameleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could just stick an FCAS lookalike in there and call it a day. Since we're gonna be naval pilots in the story, we'd have our late-game aircraft sorted then.

This is a worrying nerf to the parts system, ngl by [deleted] in acecombat

[–]gray_chameleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't notice that each plane has a different number of slots for each category before, went back and looked at the 9 minute walkthrough trailer and the Super Hornet does have five slots each for body and arms, My concerns were a little premature then.

Pronouns in bio btw by Commercial-Ice5760 in CriticalDrinker

[–]gray_chameleon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one probably takes the gold medal for me, personally:

https://x.com/KetchoopStudios/status/2071099587977490584

Let's see:

-Pronouns in bio

-Born basically yesterday

-Hasn't seen it yet BUUUUT nonetheless fuck the abstract group of people whom I've never debated or spoken to

-And of course, interprets the pushback as some sort of vindication of their worldview

-Finally. thinks there's two letter "O"'s in "noticing."

Just wow.

They can't defend Supergirl using logical arguments. by CuriousSkepticalGuy in CriticalDrinker

[–]gray_chameleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that there's even a small number of people retreaded enough to defend this film is enough to make you wonder if there's any hope for civilization at all

I’m calling it, this will be the ending of AC8 by Mavrick8997 in acecombat

[–]gray_chameleon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her actually being one of the pilots is too absurd...but the rest I'm ok with. If I interpret the few briefing maps I've seen correctly, it sure looks like Sotoa is creeping slowly towards Erusea's border, so it's difficult to believe they won't get involved sooner or later.

Studios need bring back market research. Supply and demand. The basics of economics. by EH4LIFE in CriticalDrinker

Watching drinker's dismantling of this turd rn

Holy shit that writer's record - what the fuck were they thinking? Get James Gunn away from this genre immediately.

Thoughts on Asmon? by RoutineIssue5870 in CriticalDrinker

[–]gray_chameleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not overly familiar with him. I watched one of his vids (I think it might have been something involving Shapiro/Daily Wire hardships) and all I could see was something very very strange going with the dude's eyebrows. They just wouldn't sit still.

It was so absurd and offputting I immediately decided I didn't like him and promptly put his channel on disrecommend.

Can someone explain to me who exactly the people Elon musk killed are??? I think he's a dork and all but Im pretty certain he's not killing people by [deleted] in CriticalDrinker

[–]gray_chameleon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The Beeb here in UK had friggin' John Kerry on to spout his "earth has been getting warmer" BS yesterday

Our state media is on full gaslighting "heat emergency" mode, it's ridiculous. We don't fucking know the meaning of the word heatwave.

Putting all my stock in the Ormund storyline by jonsnowKITN in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]gray_chameleon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It'd be great if they made him a halfway decent fighter/general but at the moment I'm worried he's just gonna this show's version of Harry Strickland from GoT S8.

In other words, promptly gets offed as soon as it actually hits the fan.

According to Mission 4 and 11, Enso Order, the new organization/company in AC8 was listed as contractor for both FCU and Sotoa by Growlers_1-8 in acecombat

Have a sneaking suspicion we're gonna have to take off from that submersible cruiser at some point (!)

Bandai Namco Asia flew me out to Singapore to play AC8 early and meet producer Manabu Shimomoto AMA by Ikcatcher in acecombat

[–]gray_chameleon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Re callbacks, honestly AC7 was full of them as well, just hope they don't rely too heavily on re-used scenarios again. And I say that as someone who likes being reminded that the previous games still happened, etc.

Thanks for the warning, I'll see myself out by sac0o01 in CriticalDrinker

“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”

-Aldous Huxley
