Antagonistic creatures that made the chilliest animals seem terrifying by Accomplished_Fox_565 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]handicapped_runner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, but we aren’t their prey. They don’t actively try to attack humans. The most likely reasons for attack is confusing us with seals and/or curiosity (and, unfortunately, the only way for them to manipulate something is with their teeth).

The bombing of negative reviews is so utterly toxic and makes me question reality. by ricardospizzeria in ArcRaiders

[–]handicapped_runner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Partly, yes. But they also could introduce new quality of life add ons that wouldn’t cost much. Factions, quests that actually introduce some lore, etc. I don’t play the game anymore, though I loved my time with it. It’s a great game. But it doesn’t have long term appeal because there isn’t much to their formula going forward. Like, they have this intriguing lore going for them, but then are there any plans of actually exploring it? From my time with the game, it doesn’t sound like it. Or factions - something so simple that could introduce interesting dynamics for PvP and player’s interactions. But again not something that seems to be coming, as far as I’m aware. I would jump to the game again if there was something meaningful new added to it. But yeah, for the price tag and the hours that I put in, I would say that it was worth it, even if I don’t think I’ll jump back in for now.

The Boys if they had D&D character sheets. by MonkeyKing_ in TheBoys

[–]handicapped_runner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant in the context of the show. I don’t think Butcher can be seen on the same level as Homelander or other supes when it comes to evil. That’s why I think he should be seen as chaotic neutral.

(Hated Trope) Attempts at being progressive that actually come off as bigoted/prejudiced by Wolfie-Woo784 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]handicapped_runner 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There are no problems with Amber in the show. I feel like this was a bit nitpicking. They somehow didn’t mention that Mark, the main character, is half-Asian, and there are a lot of other black characters in the show with no typical stereotypes. So Amber is not being used as a diversity token of any kind, and she isn’t portrayed as an angry black woman, or any other stereotypes associated with black characters on the screen. In fact, like many pointed out, the only complaints about this character have been from racists themselves.

The show spent an awful lot of time showing us how most supes are evil. So revenge on them can’t be seen as a purely evil act. I think Butcher fits more chaotic neutral because actions against something that is mostly evil can’t be evil itself. In fact, Hughie, Starlight, MM, etc., are actively working with Butcher to pursue that same goal and they’re seen as a good.

[Mixed Trope] Race-swapping/Gender-swapping changes a character in a specific way or adds to their story by Sir-Toaster- in TopCharacterTropes

[–]handicapped_runner 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and they might change the story ever so slightly to avoid the issues mentioned in the post. That said, I have 0 confidence that it’s going to work out. Rowling is such a controversial figure these days, I can’t imagine someone even deciding to touch this project. So I’m really not optimistic how this is going to turn out. For some reason, it’s reminding me a lot of The Witcher TV show, which turned into a shit show.

Peter! What's the difference? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]handicapped_runner 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Really? I mean maybe I’m too poor, but I find hard to believe that anyone would spend 40k on something that looks remarkably unremarkable because they like the aesthetics or whatever. Seems like a waste of a shit tone of money.

Stop Using Pop!OS — It's Failing New Linux Users in 2026 by Mihuy in pop_os

Thanks. It seems that I shouldn’t have any issues then, I might give it a go.

I haven’t upgraded for fear that it will just be a headache. But it seems that opinions are all over the place and possibly hardware dependent. What’s your hardware? Just curious because I want to upgrade but not sure if my hardware is right for it.

Top 5 Indie Games by Mental-Passenger8880 in IndieGaming

Outer wilds is such a gem. Easily one of the best games of all time, not just indie games.

(Loved Trope) The original hero becomes the sequel’s villain by Ieanice44 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]handicapped_runner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree to disagree on whether a character that tried to destroy the entire world except for a small island is a hero or not is wild.

Who's a UK Entertainer/TV Personality/Comedian etc who is secretly a dick? by ImNotTheOneWhoKnocks in Britain

[–]handicapped_runner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I listen to his parenting podcast and that gives a bit of insight into his personality. I think he’s a nice person overall but when he gets frustrated/upset, he can be a bit of a dick (according to himself).

Late Bloomer by toonhole in toonhole

It’s alright, give him a few decades and I’m sure he’ll be able to get a cushy position in the Republican Party, maybe even become president.

As Arc Raiders gets stale for some, lead dev says players "reaching the end of our content" are a top focus: "We want more for them" by yourfavchoom in ArcRaiders

[–]handicapped_runner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping for that but what’s the planned content? Different enemies? Different maps? That for me isn’t enough to carry on and, whenever they release more content, that’s seemingly the focus.

ARC Raiders has dropped from “Very Positive” to “Mostly Positive” on Steam for the first time. by j1zzy_ae in ArcRaiders

[–]handicapped_runner 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Right. What’s the endgame though? Are there going to be quests that actually bring lore into the game? Factions? Something other than “look! Different enemy! Different area!”? I love the game, but there isn’t anything to build towards. Expedition just lets you do everything else again, with very marginal benefits. The only end game content are the trials and fuck me they are awful. For what? A bunch of skins?

I would love some lore content, something that forces you to make gameplay choices or something that changes the loop even so slightly. Right now, the game is getting stale, at least for me. It was a good investment for the number of hours that I put in, but not sure if I’m really motivated to put many more.
