Pet peeves: The return (Part 13)

Thinking further on this, what if, instead of Condescending Wonka meme, we get Condescending Brann meme?

You’re right.
Blame Joss Whedon instead!!!

marvel hired joss whedon ergo marvel is still to blame :+1:

nathan fillion was wasted in it

I did hear a rumour that Nathan Fillion was Not Good as well.

(according to it, he bullied his co-star in the TV show where he writes crime novels and helps the cops)

I know the two leads had a feud, and in that kind of situation I am always going to assume first that the dude and much bigger star was the problem

From what I heard, yeah, that sounds correct.

Warlords was a tilt in narrative direction, it definately got more character focused. Though it’s somewhat funny that as Nlizzard slowly got better at story telling through the medium, the overarching story recieved more and more criticism.

Reading people’s impressions of Queen Galfrey from WotR proves that the absolute worst thing an NPC in a videogame can do is personally inconvenience or be mean to the player (character).

You can do all sorts of absolutely abominable crimes and be completely morally bankrupt, and people’ll still hop to your defence, so long as none of that impedes (either actively mechanically or simply narratively) the player.

Airport security removed my powerbank from my baggage and I’m really sad. I brought it from Russia two years ago and it was still good. It had sentimental value. I only have myself to blame, they did ask “any batteries?” and I automatically said no.

It was a big powerbank, I originally bought it for a LARP :frowning:

I’m cursing myself for allowing a situation that could have easily been prevented by me being more attentive. Again.

players not realising that they were in a very big time skip and their mythic powers were probably the only reason the crusades weren’t just getting nodiffed again doesn’t help either

Oh the absolute wailing because their precious act 3 armies weren’t carried across wholesale into act 5, after 6 months of being smacked about by mythic demons.

When I first got there I just assumed it was a mechanical sacrifice - that it was way easier on the devs to simply code you having to start from scratch because working out how to retain the old army but then weaken it for balance was too much of a pain for too little return, but you’d think it dragged some player’s dogs out and put them down behind the shed the way they talk about it.

Do they just take it and that’s that? No chance of getting it back? :frowning:

That’s what they told me at the boarding gate, where I saw the “no power banks in checked baggage” rule. That I can’t get it back. :frowning:

I normally don’t fly with checked baggage, but the website where I bought the ticket didn’t let me select a trolley bag as cabin baggage. I saw some other passengers with trolley bags, so I assume it was probably possible, just not via that specific website.

Tyrande’s sudden deep dive into a borderline central african accent that no other night elf has during Cataclysm/MoP was jarring to say the least.

Until they changed it, your generals getting ‘wounded’ and needing a ton of time to come back was a big pain

Though its walls stopped being completely flat, it might have slightly expanded. So maybe it was not safe to keep using anyway.

Found the xbox version of Path of Titans (3rd person free roamy Dinosaur game!) actually had a 60 minute trial version, so got to give that a go.

Simple, but oddly compelling/fun. Got to play a little dinonychus, zipping around like a little feathery bite ball. Just the single player mode, rather than the ‘real’ servers with player dinos, so I could learn the controls and bully the critters that couldn’t touch me due to speeeeeed.
Hunger and thirst were far more a threat :sweat_smile:

I’m sorely tempted to pick it up. Its an ‘Early Access’ kinda game, but the devs seem to be hammering out regular updates, so.

me: oh, warhammer darktide, i don’t know if i’m excited for the Arbites DLC

fatshark: one of the voices is Devora Wilde

me: oh snap, for real?
