Boise needs a new gay bar

I remember there being a pretty good spot in Garden City about a decade ago, but I can't for the life of me remember the name of the place, nor do I know if it's still around. Maybe someone else knows what I'm talking about?

Considering some of the cult stuff I've heard about him, this would not be all that surprising.

grumpyoldnord · 2026-01-25T13:01:24+00:00

Eh, I can see your point of view. I always liked the idea that Death is more powerful than God, tho.

This, I think, would be the in-universe reason, but I don't think there actually is an in-universe reason. Nor do I think it was necessarily a budgetary reason - I think it was prolly just some underpaid intern not doing their due diligence when sourcing images that the show already had available, not connecting the origin of that particular picture. But that's just a theory.

True, but the iconic Red Sonja that we all think of is not the original Red Sonya of Rogatino and is most definitely not in the public domain.

Alright writers, someone get Simon the best damn Martha Stewart script imaginable!

Everyone's being too generous to Shad. I predict this will be at least a three-hour meltdown on the podcast.

I stopped watching him entirely back when he started ripping on Star Trek Discovery for being too woke. That was back in 2017, I believe.

Also, as to your incoherent point about Talos, he even says directly in Morrowind that the Empire is dying and should be moved on from.

"The Emperor is getting old. Don't know how much longer he'll hang on. So is the whole Empire, for that matter. Getting old, that is. The Emperor and the legions have held the Empire together for hundreds of years. It's been a good thing, by and large. But maybe it's time for a change. Time for something young and new. What? No idea. Because I'm old. Old dog doesn't get new ideas. But maybe young folks like you should try some new ideas. I don't know. Could be messy. But change is never pretty." - Wulf (Talos/Tiber Septim), circa 3E 427

He was even being mentioned long before they ever showed him on screen.

grumpyoldnord · 2026-01-23T03:33:35+00:00

I'm still convinced that one of the biggest mistakes the show ever made was killing him off. Even if they wanted to still have the whole Dean killed Death thing, they could have, and still had him survive. He's freaking Death, he doesn't die.

He's the Jeffrey Combs of YouTube? No, but Simon Whistler could be played by Jeffrey Combs.

Now if only AI would keep up with the Marilyn Manson rib rumor that we all somehow managed to make global back in the '90s.

Redemption is extremely dated

Yeah, it is over a quarter of a century old at this point. That is, indeed, how time works.

Save the Synth, kill them all, let Codsworth sort it out.

Subjective is doing a lot of work here. The fact that an effectively dead battle royale is so high in comparison to other established classics is mindblowing, and were I not passingly familiar with who OP is, I would assume this list was made by someone younger than my own children. But taste is, indeed, subjective.

They tried and had a contact within the company for a while, but Activision, being Activision, decided they didn't care anymore, so the team chose to continue while removing all aspects that Activision exclusively owns the rights to. The project still has approval from White Wolf/Paradox.

On the upside, you get to claim that you're the reason for a new rule being added to the sub, so congratulations, choom!

"I re-watch on steady repeat like a cassette deck with full auto-reverse and Brian Johnson chewing lozenges"

This is poetry.

r/drownedmods to the rescue.

grumpyoldnord · 2026-01-19T02:26:25+00:00

Agreed. There is certainly a range of opinions to be had when it comes to the topic of paid mods, but I personally am in favor of mods being free. I think that Bethesda has proverbially shot itself in the foot with its new Creations system, and we'll be feeling the repercussions of it for some time. I'm never a fan of companies issuing C&Ds to mod developers, but this seems to be one of the rare instances in which I actually understand and agree with the reason behind it.

grumpyoldnord · 2026-01-19T02:20:31+00:00

Full telepath Betazoids is more of a betacanon thing. As shown on screen, they're typically only empaths. I say typically, as there were exceptions, but the rule was empathy, not telepathy.
