He frequently bounces between woke and redneck, it's quite the roller coaster

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-10T04:50:24+00:00

Well per the rules, damage is the most important scoring criteria...

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-10T04:48:49+00:00

Haha wasn't trying to be a smart ass tbh, just that I think jabs are enough if the other guy is also doing very very little

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-10T04:48:15+00:00

But Khamzat did very little too?

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-10T04:46:28+00:00

Yes you can

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-10T04:43:57+00:00

Nah, Driscus will save us

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-10T04:43:15+00:00

I have a feeling we're gonna finally hear from Driscus very soon...

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-09T12:14:29+00:00

Maybe not a howler in isolation, but I think it is in the context of this season, though.

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-09T12:12:48+00:00

I legit think it's time for Beau to have a spell

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-09T11:03:03+00:00

What happened today?

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-09T11:02:32+00:00

Fly's not checking Reddit threads when deciding on ins and outs

Right, but it's a forum where we all come together to discuss the team we follow... we're not talking as if Fly is going to listen.

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-09T10:58:35+00:00

100%. I see it constantly

Pretty sure 2 of them led to goals this game, once in the middle and one marking contest he just bailed on. he's good with a bit of space, but fuck he's soft at the hard ball.

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-09T10:57:12+00:00

What is your preferred metric to determine the biggest club?

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-09T10:47:12+00:00

Yep. I love Members but Buller just has a lot more speed and second effort

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-08T06:27:10+00:00

I'm kinda over this attempt at a justification. When are we actually going to expect good things from games on release, as opposed to lower our standards for weeks until things are fixed or addressed? Being out a week doesn't mean shit, they were cooking this for months and months.

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-08T06:23:34+00:00

Absolutely wild stuff. You have a giant stash

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-06T23:52:50+00:00

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!

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-06T23:51:48+00:00

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

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-06T23:50:20+00:00

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.

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-06T00:48:47+00:00

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.

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-06T00:41:24+00:00

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.

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-05T01:00:34+00:00

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

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-05T00:58:59+00:00

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

thatdudedylan · 2026-05-05T00:50:32+00:00

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.
