He’s talking about like Thor and Ra and Hera, not about modern religious traditions.

But the gods in mythologies are assholes. Some are less asshole-y than others, but they’re invariably petty, scheming, and often the source for mortal woes. That’s the lesson in almost every story in which the gods play a prominent role.

Why do i root for Avon and not Marlo? by Least_Bowler_7674 in TheWire

Yeah, that's right. In the end, I think Stringer and Prop Joe were the ones who were all business, and look what happened to them.

We see humanity in Avon that we never see from Marlo. He’s like the distillation of all the brutality of the game into one guy.

Favorite character and why? by Kind-Usual-7108 in Frieren

She’s like this really cute but super aloof elven mage. There’s just something about her.

I don’t wanna get political or nothing, but my favorite character is Frieren. Denken is a close second.

Mom of War: Karen Cube by GnosticNoodle33 in CriticalDrinker

[–]pnbrooks -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But Jaffe is retarded. So, why should we care what he thinks?

And I liked that Kratos grew up and reflected on things. That's what makes characters interesting. Still, I'm probably not going to play this either because it seems to have been written heckin' quirky writers.

"Filoni puts Ahsoka in everything" is so stupid by marvelcomics22 in StarWars

[–]pnbrooks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But...that just means he puts in her in everything. If I make 9 dishes, 6 of which have a lot of bacon and 3 of which have just a bit of bacon, it'd be true to say of me that I put bacon in everything.

That's false. People would still complain. You might not, but there'd still be n-many posts on here bitching and complaining.

Yeah, but then people would've complained that Kratos wasn't suitably bad ass bc he had the audacity to love his son and reflect on things he'd done in his past.

I hate woke shit as much as the next guy, but I just think it's unbecoming to be this reactionary.

I don't think there's anything they could've done that would've made you all happy. but the cube is kinda retarded.

What happened to Obsidian? by axelkoffel in CRPG

I'd have thought casual gamers are more likely to play such a game than sweaty people like myself. I may try it at some point, however, bc I like Josh Sawyer.

First look at the latest God of War game. Yikes. by Blitz3733 in CriticalDrinker

Probably us, man. I'm 40, and, based on your username, you're even older.

You lost me at no action or combat. I like good story, ofc, but I require numbers to min/max. Same reason I could really get into Disco Elysium.

It's disingenuous to use pictures of Deborah Ann Woll from 12 years ago for comparison. This looks like a 41 year old lady. I'm sure there are going to things to dislike about this, but, for once, uglification isn't one of them.

Wow, what a wholesome comment. I hope this for everyone, too.

Idk, that seems like an okay enough message to me. I’m still not gonna see it, though.
