Pet peeves: The return (Part 3)

What is this?

It’s an anime, known in Japan as Shingeki no Maidens.

Sounds sexist.

RWBY is/was originally an internet animated series created by Rooster Teeth (of Red vs. Blue fame) and internet-famous fight animator Monty Oum (Dead Fantasy, Haloid). It had some issues…

But has plugged along for like…7? 8? seasons now and I think is still ongoing. I can’t say I’d exactly recommend it but it does have a dedicated fanbase.

It has now received a ‘real’ anime adaptation, the first episode of which has recently released.

All I know about RWBY is that the creator died during a routine health checkup because the doctors were not aware he was allergic to penicillin, and the only reason I know this grim fact is because at about 34:50 into the Game Grumps panel at Magfest 2015 they get a call from his phone number, later clarified to be from someone with him at the doctors wanting to tell them he had gone into a coma.

Happy early Monday morning everyone!

BLIZZARD, I NEED THIS PET RIGHT NOW.

Just killed Decaying Ekzykes!

God that Scarlet Rot Breath kills so quickly.

EDIT: Urgh, reminded i need another 6 points in dex to use the damn flail for crystalian enemies.

A blood knight NPC was added in the most recent patch with the title of crusader. This confuses me.

She’s the first visible member of the Crimson Crusade.

They’ll have an expansion-long quest series in Dragonflight about getting embroiled in a legal battle with the Scarlet Crusade, with hours of unskippable cutscenes going over extremely dull legalese.

Just let it be an in game version of Ace Attorney.

I got my KSM and I am still tired.

Semi-related, I recently did the DK intro quests and it was kind of charming how bad it now is with all the progress WoW’s made with cinematics and such

Tirion showing up with no weapon, naming the Argent Crusade minutes after the Scarlets (who were spitting distance away) are all massacred with no survivors [and also the Argent Hand or Silver Dawn were both right there], the name Knights of the Ebon Blade appearing randomly with zero buildup…

Also because there’s not really a moment where the DKs are clearly shown as under control or breaking free, it makes the implication that they served willingly, or at the very least could have sabotaged the Lich King at any time and only rebelled when they had clearly lost and were left for dead

Taking the recycling out of the bin.

Something flicks out and hits Leo in the face.

His little face.

Massive peeve, we had a shooting in a mall in CPH and naturally all the dumb americans have to comment on it and how gun laws don’t solve it or how if it was done by a non-white it would be called a terror attack.

I just want americans to shut up!! Especially when it was first thought to be a terror attack done by white dudes!!! Nevermind how awful it is to people experiencing it!!!

Unfortunately some Americans have a tendency to poke their noses into places as if they’re the be-all and end-all, not accusing them all though. That said I hope you fine Danes are doing okay in the aftermath.

First of all, sorry to hear what happened to you lot, it’s awful.

As for the americans… sadly they, and not just they, but alot of people these days think that freedom of speech and freedom of expression also means that others actually -want- their opinions. That the world -has- to hear those opinions. Clearly the saying “Silence is golden” is pretty dead these days :frowning:

A shooting happens in Denmark for the frist time in who knows how many years. (I tried googling statistics for mass shootings but the best I got was general homicide)

Meanwhile in US a new shooter pops up every other week.

Yes, gun regulations just don’t work bros. /s

I think most people are more shocked and sending good vibes and support to the victims and family to the deceased, because this doesn’t happen often.

I wish the opposite was true, I am just so tired of the other side of the big water slamming their opinions and dumb politics into a horrible thing that happens so rarely on this side of the water vs daily on theirs :pensive:

The last non-gang related shooting was in 2014 or 2015, 2 people got shot and it was a swedish citizen commiting the act of actual terrorism.
That’s almost a decade ago meanwhile in the US we see it daily :roll_eyes:
Edit: It was 3 people dead, 2015, the target was a swedish man and the shooter was a palestinian. Just correcting myself for clarity

Also another fun fact about why gun regulations work, iceland has almsot thrice the amount of guns compared to people but even less shootings due to regulations… It’s almost like it works
