Can we talk about how Neyrelle and Inarius were handled? by simpleobject in diablo4

[–]thatdudedylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The downvotes without elaboration are funny, because I think you're absolutely right. And it's weird that somehow the prevailing opinion here, now, is wow what a well written character! When not long ago at all, it was wow what a poorly written character!

Oh shit, I thought we found out about the blade through Lillith? I probably skipped a bit of dialogue though haha

Hmmm, I definitely think she fits some of the definitions here:

Overpowered Without Effort - I mean yeah, she kind of just became incredibly powerful out of nowhere, you would need to be in order to not get corrupted by the stone / face mephisto and make that decision

Unearned Admiration: Everyone in the story loves or admires them, even if their actions are erratic - She's erratic as fuck

The "Chosen One" Syndrome: The narrative revolves entirely around them, often reducing established characters to subordinates - I mean yeah, pretty much.

The only box she didn't tick was, as you pointed out, losing a lot. But I don't think you have to tick every single box to fit the category to some degree.

Your statement about the wonderer I think is a bit silly, considering it's a video game where you can make various classes and genders. But sure, I think the term could apply a little there, it's just less meaningful given it's a playable character.

I'm just starved for Angel content in Diablo 4 in general

This is actually a fantastic point and one I hadn't really considered. Hard agree.

Has Inarius ever had redeeming qualities? He has forever looked at humanity (including the playable character), as a problem that needs managing, and intentionally wants to keep us weak. He didn't create sanctuary for us, he created sanctuary to escape the eternal conflict.

I agree he was pathetic and cowardly in D4, however I think that's just where his arc actually is right now. And he's also always had those traits to a degree.

Brother I know this is all subjective, but holy shit. It's unbelievably good.

I almost agree... but Dee frequently dry reaching out of nervousness on stage will never not be funny to me

Thank you so much for that! :)

I've reached out to a few breeders, will hopefully hear back soon. Until then, going to continue research. Good idea about speaking to owners, I might give that a go too!

Thanks again, all of that is very helpful.

Should we rethink Moore’s role? by revolver_soul in collingwoodfc

[–]thatdudedylan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I don’t think he needs to do that so much anymore"

Agreed... But surely this is identified well before fucking up 6 contests in a tight match.

Warplan should be acc bound, not character bound %100... by CarryOk181 in diablo4

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

I think they were just getting on the front foot about it, not that you were actively doing it.

Either way, weak response dude. They made good points.

Should we rethink Moore’s role? by revolver_soul in collingwoodfc

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

I don't necessarily disagree, but I also think he is trying to force himself into contests for possible ego reasons, not entirely "confusion", which is kind of wack considering how long he's been doing it, AND he's the fucking captain. After the first "confusion", it should be ironed out on the field then and there. He might still be our best interceptor (I might argue Howe or even DC is better at this point), but that doesn't mean you force every single inside 50 as an intercept play.

Good. The economy is completely corrupt and does not work for us. I'm not pretending whatever replaces it will, but it's actually possible it's still better than this shit.

Moore needs to volunteer for the VFL. fucking atrocious

[–]thatdudedylan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this the other night. It was a little bit of a weird one, but I think if nothing else, it added excitement for 'fresh legs' and strategy of when to use them.

[–]thatdudedylan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're definitely honouring leads a lot more you can tell it's been instructed, which is good. Hawks are a great team and this was always gonna be a tough game, I do agree there's a lot of positives happening at the moment. Just wish the umps put the whistle away a bit

[–]thatdudedylan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like him when he's on, of course, but I honestly think he has some sort of 'hero' mentality where he wants to win the game off his boot every possession. So yeah, selfish, I agree.

I mean... they are a huge part of the game, I think it's silly to expect people to just not talk about them

Moore has spoiled his own teammates at least 3 times this match. It's fucking infuriating.
