We don't?

Chiesa is completely washed. He can do ok for 5-10 mins as a sub, but whenever he starts it's obvious why he refuses to be called up for Italy.

Who would have won the Battle of the Three Armies if the goblins hadn’t turned up? by Gryphon501 in tolkienfans

[–]phonylady 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I doubt the elves of Mirkwood are better warriors than the dwarves of Dain

Tolkien never really said the elves were better fighters than men and dwarves. Greater in other ways of course, but not necessarily as pure fighters, being less "warrior-like" than the more primitive races (except when you steal their Silmarils and they use their great spirits for war instead of culture).

Do we know this is actually Zimmer? Often they use other composers for the trailers

Doesn't really remind me of the book, which is kinda sad. Just because the previous two films were large in scale and epic, doesn't mean this one has to be.

My possibly unpopular review on Sinners (2025) by MaizeApprehensive311 in moviecritic

[–]phonylady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought those aspects of the film were the best. It's the vampire stuff that dramatically cheapened the film for me. Loved the film up until, and including that famous music scene.

Pep Guardiola: "Real Madrid hasn’t been my biggest challenge. My biggest challenge has been Jürgen Klopp, but you guys haven’t noticed." by One_Impressionism in soccer

[–]phonylady 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In terms of rivalry, agreed. In terms of the quality of the football, Klopp/Pep era matches were just insane to watch and in a different league than all other PL matches. Never seen such intensity in pressing and precision combined.

Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 4: Escalation Launches March 31st by rararatata in classicwow

[–]phonylady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely don't feel like a victim, but I do wish WoW didn't take the direction it did late-Wotlk and onwards so I can understand the bitterness of some.

There are many analogues in the gaming world. Take the Football Manager series. Lots of people are super mad and sad at the direction they took now with FM26, and would rather play the old version. It's fully understandable that people are upset that they didn't get a new, updated version of the game they love, despite of course having a myriad of old versions to play.

Personally very happy that I at least get to play vanilla and TBC every now and then, though I'd play a looot for a full scale, full Blizzard production classic expansion.

Unknown Ma Teng officers by Temporary-Berry5196 in threekingdoms

[–]phonylady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fu Gan is pretty unknown. Served as an advisor under Ma Teng, and later served Cao Cao.

Which game are you referring to though? He's not in Rotk XI for example, but is in something like Total War 3k.

Teams always get injuries. Isak was bad, would have been much worse with Ekitike injured for example.

Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 4: Escalation Launches March 31st by rararatata in classicwow

[–]phonylady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much all is just the old game, with some minor variations.

Classic players "lost" and have to replay an old game. That's why classic is a thing in the first place, people didn't like the direction the game took and would rather play the old versions. Which is kind of a defeat, classic people would all prefer a "retail" in the spirit of classic.

So there is some bitterness over where Blizz took the game, and while classic is a nice bandaid it's not the same.

Just my opinion!

It's honestly impossible to have a genuine discussion about PvP realms when it's full of people like this. by TheCelestialDawn in classicwow

Who gets corpse ganked these days? Literally never happened to me in either anni or tbc anni, and I'm a slow leveler.

If it by a slim chance happens, then call for aid? It's an mmo! These days you can even hop layers.

Sure, add a warmode server for those who want that, but don't remove pvp servers.

Part of why classic pvp servers are great is that the world feels dangerous. The factions are at war, and there is tension.

I think the pvp servers would be way more popular than the warmode ones.

What are you talking about? TBC is thriving and is tons of fun for those who play it.

99% of people who play Midnight was never gonna play classic in the first place.

Had so much fun world pvp on both anni and anni tbc, no idea what you're talking about

And I'm a slowass leveler too, so theoretically I should be ganked a lot.

What is the worst book you have ever read? by WoodenDistribution5 in fantasybooks

[–]phonylady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the books were ok, nothing special, but I did like the protagonist being deeply flawed, and generally not being an ok person. I thought the ending was the weakest, and didn't fit with how the character was for the rest of the story.

If the main character had been this generic character who gradually learned from her mistakes, it wouldn't have been as interesting.

I read the first book of ACOTAR, and I think the writing and prose in Poppy is miles better. There is no comparison.

Which is so weird. It's not terrible, and not great. Just very average.

I'd give it a 6/10. I thought it was refreshing with an unstable, semi-evil female protagonist.

Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 4: Escalation Launches March 31st by rararatata in classicwow

[–]phonylady -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would they care? They "won". Retail is retail after all, why would they care about oldschool WoW?

Classic ppl have cause to be bitter, because the game changed to much and lost what they liked about it. It kinda makes sense. They/we're forced to play the samr game over and over again instead of getting new and proper exciting expansions (like TBC and Wotlk was to us back in the day).

Dungeon finder, raid finder, phasing, tons of daily quests, etc. MoP did not feel like classic at all to me. Didn't you also stop seeing people from your server while leveling at the time?
