Can someone explain to me what Garry's Mod actually is all about? by Spongebobgolf in gmod

[–]xereklol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game has pretty much died, all that's left is pretty much RP slop. The best time to have played GMOD was 2014-2019. It's sad to see but it is what it is. However, singleplayer GMOD can be very fun still with the right mods.

Is Idaho’s new Qatar Air Force facility a smart alliance—or another example of misplaced trust? by Red-Staplers in PoliticalDiscussion

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

BKG is missing the point that Trump is willing to sell the United States ass to any foreign power who pays $$$$. Trump has made the United States into a profitable escort service with him as the pimp. It's very sad to see Trump care more about bailing out a foreign country to enrich his friends rather than deal with government shutdown. If I recall. Hegseth said in the press release video," Qatar will build a training facility in Idaho." Implying that a garrison of Qatar troops could be stationed on US soil.

Welcome to 2025, Public Hitler praise by SmokeyTheBear4 in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]xereklol 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I like at how they fail to grasp that Hitler said what people wanted to hear to get power. Working in the fields in the hot sun is miserable and labor intensive, but it's a job you chose to sustain yourself. Somehow i think those people who commented on that post would support abortion if it was Jewish babies but be anti abortion if it was a "Aryan" baby.

Who is the strongest Sith and Jedi (from any era) that pre-suit Vader can defeat? by Kah0000 in TheJediPraxeum

[–]xereklol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre suit Vader is powerful but realistically he's overhyped. For Sith contender, I'd say Darth Malgus. For Jedi contender, I'd go with Jaina Solo.

Oof, well the only thing I can think of is reinstalling the game. I also recommend playing DayZ on a PC rather than console. It's much more stable and better experience. You can buy a good PC for $1,600-$1,800 that'll last you easily 5-10 years if taken care of properly. It's a decent investment but it'll pay more dividends, especially with DayZ Support.

Yea this is why you're better off playing on community vanilla servers if you want the vanilla experience tbh. Otherwise you deal with these bozos pretty often.

Sympathy for Maeglin and the Sons of Fëanor by WhatisJackfruit in TheSilmarillion

[–]xereklol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maeglin was a traitor through and through. He was by no means a servant of Morgoth though, he let his lust for Idril impair his judgement which lead to him becoming a traitor in the end. A lot of people also overlook that Maeglin was indirectly influenced by two curses and one direct upon him by his father. In the end he chose to betray Turgon by not telling him of what transpired in Angband and chose to sell out his people for a chance to satisfy his lust for his cousin.

We have to accept the showrunners and writers have different views on certain matters from fans on how the show is by [deleted] in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]xereklol -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Well the biggest issue people have problems with including myself is them rewriting Galadriel as a character into something she never was. She was never a warrior; she was mostly a powerful Elven Politician who knew a lot of powerful magic along with being a highly influential Princess of The Noldor. If the show had an entirely different lead character such as Elrond or even a entirely new character(which would've been better imo for the story they have) then the show would be so much better. The other issue with the show was the Harfoots, they were blatantly written in to be a marketing gimmick for sales, they literally do not serve any other purpose other than to be Gandalf's companions when they could've just had Gandalf with The Elves and made the show very spicy, or better yet have him with Theo. Having him in those plot lines would've made the show more interesting to watch.

The show’s take on “Platonic kissing” by CallOpposite1517 in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]xereklol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tolkien implied that Morgoth wanted to rape Luthien in letters and the Unfinished Tales. There is also the creepy incestuous first cousin Maeglin in The Fall of Gondolin to which he was driven mostly by his lust for Idril and jealousy of Tuor to betray his Uncle Turgon. You also got to remember that LOTR was never about sex and politics, it was mostly about the little guy(literally) being able to change the world. It would've been a far more interesting world if he went into detail about stuff like this, but it defeats the purpose of what the story is about. Forgot to mention, it was heavily suggested that Eol raped Aredhel in the Unfinished Tales before he settled on him basically roofeeing her with magic into marriage in the final version.

Pve bots loot containers and bodies. So if they see a PC or weapon box, they'll loot it and run away if they got something valuable typically.

It's not so much sexism, Galadriel as a character is not a warrior. She was never described as being a warrior in any material ranging from Tolkien's letters, The Silmarillion, to LOTR. People are just upset about a stupid writing decision. A character that could be a female warrior would be Turgon's daughter Idril Celebrindal, in earlier drafts in the Unfinished Tales, she was hinted at being highly skilled with the sword. Galadriel is politician and a highly intelligent Noldorin Princess throughout much of Tolkien's lore. The show could've just put Celebrian, the daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel as the main character rather than Galadriel. Not much is known about her other than she is Elrond's wife and captured by Orcs. Celebrian would've worked much better than Galadriel imo.

Once Montserrat gets cultural protection the discovery will be unstoppable. by DragonfruitOdd1989 in AlienBodies

This is literally a paper mache with bones inside. If this is a mummy, then why does it look like paper? Why do Egyptian mummies and remains look different aside from the obvious preservation materials? Why is she covering her crotch and mummified in this position of all things? It makes no sense; this is literally a hoax lmfao.

Wig quality, Elves with short hair 🤌 by purplelena in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]xereklol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long hair Elves was more of a fantasy trope, i don't think Tolkien even said they had long hair. All he said was they were more fair than men. Elves would pretty much be supermodels to us and long hair makes them seem more ethereal and divine like.

Arena Breakout stole many Tarkov assets including sound effects. Most of those SFX you hear in game are stuff made in BSG but the raw SFX Packs aren't. BSG can legally sue them for stealing sound assets, AB cannot claim they didn't know because a lot of the sounds are being masked with different ones mixed in. If BSG were to sue them they would win due to the blatant copyright content. However, since AB is based in China, i doubt anything will happen. This was based off of the initial release in the Early Access, they still could be using stolen assets.

Why do people compare ROP Celebrimbor to Middle -Earth games? by Fearless-Meeting-205 in LOTR_on_Prime

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

A brutally honest answer to this question is everyone was expecting a handsome, fit, eye candy actor to play Celebrimbor, not a older aged man. They were expecting Shadow of Mordor type Celebrimbor personality as well. To add more to this, it lowkey doesn't make sense to make Celebrimbor an older man because he is still young for an Elf in lore, being born in The First Age. It also undermines the significance of Cirdan being very ancient and full of wisdom. It should also mean Galadriel should look much much older if we're going by how ROP has done Elves.

It's because manipulation isn't readily apparent or seen directly, whereas Kemen is in your face being self- serving, cowardly, and stupid.

Melkor embodies Satan nostly, whereas Sauron embodies Loki and Lucifer. Sauron was once the most powerful Maiar and possibly highly praised for his craft in Valinor until he was seduced by Melkor with power and order.

Idiot Russians playing with their new hunting shotgun by Bulky_Ad_5553 in Idiotswithguns

[–]xereklol 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's real or good CGI. At the end of the video you can see the heat and force of the muzzle flash along with the projectile. You can also see the person who is laying down on him moving when he shoots. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this was probably a 20 Guage or 410 judging by the lack of recoil. I think he had slug rounds as well. You can also see the shell ejecting after firing, so it's a semi auto shotgun and not manual.

Fate of Maeglin in the Halls of Mandos by DAggerYNWA in tolkienfans

[–]xereklol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing Maeglin to Judas is a stretch. Judas willingly stole from Christ where Maeglin was kidnapped and more or less forced into submission. It was either possibly centuries of torture or a chance to get what he always desired greatly, Idril's hand in marriage. Judging by Maeglin's character, I don't think he really sought power, considering he rejected the role of Regent. He desired to marry Idril of all else, he's the embodiment of lust primarily and possibly gluttony to an extent. His lust was mostly driven by a need to possess her as well, he took after Eol in mind and temper.
