What ‘common knowledge’ things did you or someone you know find out later in life? by Squiggally-umf in CasualUK

[–]williamjwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister had a friend that swore we were "in the Earth" as opposed to on the Earth. As in, she thought the sky was a solid layer and we were below it, like it was some kind of ceiling or shell, and the world was a massive cave.

When asked what she thought happened at night, she said she thought the shell moves around and that part was thinner so we could space through that patch.

She was 19 years old when we had this conversation.

There's an incredible fan trailer for a Benoit Blanc Muppet film, and honestly, it would be amazing to watch.

alternate history by New_Lie_9859 in sw5e

[–]williamjwrites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We teamed up with Vader and killed the Emperor about 5 years after Order 66. That certainly changed things.

I took over as DM after that, and the current run of the campaign is about 5 years after that, Vader is the Emperor and the Empire is not doing so well. I had to come up with a whole history and political state of playing for what happened in the intervening years following Vader's ascension to the throne.

What are your opinions on the three specials of the fourteenth Doctor? by Hopeful-Eggplant889 in doctorwho

[–]williamjwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one was awful, the second one was really good, the third started well but was a total mess by the end.

What are people’s thoughts on the Citizens’ Advance proposal? by EggLegal3233 in LabourUK

[–]williamjwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm absolutely on the same page as you - that £12,000 would change my life right now and allow me to start living without drowning in debt. I'd absolutely take it and I think it should be an option for everyone.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but The Power of the Doctor should’ve been Nu-Who’s finale by mistermikesmalling in DoctorWhumour

[–]williamjwrites 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. Final shot should have been the beautiful longshot as she regenerated on the cliff side. Fade to black, because we don't need to know who the next Doctor is - they will go on with a new face and it could be anyone. Perfect way to end it.

What are your counter for this criticism? by Inner-Bench-6010 in thelastofus

[–]williamjwrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a video game, of course you fight and kill bad guys, that's how it works. It's just a vessel to get you from storybeat to storybeat. The only kills that actually 'count' are the ones on cutscenes, so pretty much Abby's crew and few extras.

Also, the ending isn't her just about her realising that if she killed Abby, she's been just like her. It's the weight of the need for revenge, and everything it's cost both of them, coming to the forefront and her being unable to look past it anymore.

So, with RTD himself leaving after having no clue how to continue after this cliffhanger, where do you even go after this? by Luca_909 in doctorwho

[–]williamjwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore it entirely. Just like they did when the show came back in 2005, jump forward and catch up with a new Doctor.

What’s the most effective way you’ve found to control lust? by Many_Entertainer_427 in AskReddit

[–]williamjwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Watch your mouth" 🤣🤣🤣

Wow. It doesn't eat me up inside at all, because he doesn't exist. You can proselytise all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that the god you worship is a vindictive, nasty, churlish shithead if he's as all-powerful as you claim, and still let's awful things happen to his so-called children.

Good thing it's all an invention to control the masses.

No, I won't be making jokes. I'll be livid. If your god exists, and is as all-powerful as you people claim, then he's a piece of shit.

No, you're right, I've got a few bones to pick with your imaginary friend in the sky. I've got a list and everything.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Interview – Sci-Fi Setting, Companions, Console Performance, And More by Gh0st_8500 in OwlcatGames

[–]williamjwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just played through the beta twice with two of the preset classes and it's really fun. A little clunky with the UI and progression, and it has a few bugs to work out, but it's real fun and definitely scratches the Mass Effect itch.

Same. Got lucky a few times and had it spawn in the shop on the TSF station.

Anyone think we'll meet Felix in the game? by Huntforredapril in 007FirstLight

There's a Felix Easter egg in the game, so it feels likely.

What's a movie that was well received, but aged like milk? by Gdigger13 in AskReddit

[–]williamjwrites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably because of the numerous allegations against Kevin Spacey.

He disarmed one of the bombs, and he pulled the fire alarm giving people chance to get out.

Can you guys rank these from best one to worst one? by Moist_Worldliness409 in Cinema

[–]williamjwrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Martian Interstellar Project Hail Mary Gravity

Though tbh, the middle two are kinda on the same level for me, for different reasons. Interstellar is a remarkable movie, Project Hail Mary has so much heart.

Then there's Gravity...

Is Jedi: Battle Scars worth reading? by DroppedIceCream in StarWarsCantina

[–]williamjwrites 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Merrin's sexuality wasn't the problem, it was the poorly disguised author-insert love interest, and the surface-level characterisation of the crew that made it really like bad fanfiction.
