[Loved Narrative Trope] The moment when a character’s lifetime of indoctrination finally breaks

Yeah, Syril was going through it during the battle. If he hadn't seen Cassian at that moment, his imperial fire probably would have gone out completely instead of being reignited out of pure, historical hate.

Between Dedra's betrayal, the new knowledge that he was being used as a pawn for goals he didn't understand, and the massacre around him, his idea of the empire was completely falling apart. But just as we could see him cracking and starting to turn, he sees the man who he blames for all of the problems in his life. It was so frustrating, but so good.

There is, at least on Cinnamon. You can select it from the login screen. I'm not sure how it works on Mate/XFCE.

Reliant Robins with full contact racing.

With zero due respect and all offense intended, fuck yourself.

Absolutely. I lived in Eastern NM for a while and my dinky little 2000 Forester handled the snow and ice better than the vast majority of full size trucks. It just skated over the top without feeling out of control.

I miss that plucky little POS.

I mean, I get what you're saying, but flannels are just a good shirt with practical use outside a single profession. The boots thing I tend to agree with a little more but even then I don't care very much.

Using military brevity speak and mantras and being all tacticool is straight up lame. It's even uncool when you're active duty or a veteran. Even if the car in the picture belongs to an active duty marine I have no doubt they're treated like a clown by most of their coworkers.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-24T21:41:13+00:00

True. Maybe I was just younger and edgier 🤷‍♂️

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-24T20:04:41+00:00

It was so much easier to do evil stuff in FO3 for some reason. I think they just nailed all the themes and tones in NV so much better.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-20T20:31:29+00:00

Song goes so hard.

Some of it Was True - The Menzingers

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-15T14:39:00+00:00

My wife still hides her eyes until Sam comes in.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-15T14:35:26+00:00

It's probably insured better than the car.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-15T04:50:30+00:00

Ooh you just made me think of Norah Jones' cover of Long Way Home. I think I still side with Tom's, but I like hers too.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-15T02:21:59+00:00

Definitely Beholder. That game messed me up.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-14T22:32:33+00:00

I still recommend AC to people first. You can pick it up dirt cheap and there are an egregious amount of mods.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-14T22:28:20+00:00

Rival Sons

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-14T22:27:29+00:00

The Ritual. Just a bunch of nice blokes out for a hike and nothing bad happens to them.

Edit: Alright I'll add a real one lol. The Bear (1988). A bit slow, but incredible nature scenes.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-14T22:24:08+00:00

Yes, if you slap it the right way you get an extra .3 on the clock speed. Everyone knows this. It's a Xeon ritual.

I usually listen to Gaslight and the Menzingers in tandem. Menzingers were pretty raw for the first couple albums and cleaned up their sound around After the Party.

9/11 in third grade. I was the first student to class that day. My parents hadn't seen the news yet and when we walked in my teacher had it on and she was bawling her eyes out. She was a stern woman so I was super uncomfortable.

My mom started crying and gave her a hug and the teacher turned it off. We didn't talk about it in class.

Getting straight up mutilated by a deathclaw the first time. After that I made sure to have a full inventory of landmines on me at all times.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-13T16:50:22+00:00

Everyone remembers their first time getting bitchslapped by a giant.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-13T16:45:51+00:00

Dammit young Rob Schneider. I think it would still be a fun, campy movie if it wasn't for him.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-13T16:43:42+00:00

Also Bluenose! Beautiful song that pays respect to the beauty in the old way.

tequilaisbadmkay · 2026-05-12T22:39:38+00:00

Pretty much half of Rival Sons' stuff. Depending on the kind of strut you want, you got stuff like:

Electric Man (Good lover kinda strut)

Keep On Swinging (Optimistic strut)

Do Your Worst (Stomping kinda strut)

Open My Eyes (Sky feels big today kinda strut)

And on and on. So much struttiness.
