[opaque coyote]

Specifically the old plasma guns as the plasma caster

[rocky gale]

You will have the institutes rifle take up half your screen and you will like it

[opaque coyote]

And I do wish that Bethesda generally acknowledge that

[storm jungle]

stop talking about fallout!!!

actually nvm hold on

[queen laurel]

Damn it the mods don't like us having fun

[crystal forum]

i want to talk about fall in

[sacred bluff]

Truth is kid

[sacred bluff]

the game was rigged from the start

[queen laurel]

Pack it up guys

[opaque coyote]

The Institute rifle, despite taking up half of my fucking screen, I actually do like it's bulkiness.

Although seriously the view model needs to be changed

[crystal forum]

fo4 default fov is legit ass

[opaque coyote]

I just don't like how it's literally just the laser rifle but weaker

[crystal forum]

and you need to open up the console just to modify it

[dapper gyro]

How about stop talking about you? Begone, thot.

[opaque coyote]

And I get why in terms of balance

But like

[dapper gyro]

/s

[opaque coyote]

Come on

[queen laurel]

So that advance robot that our master assassin's

Didn't think that trying to fight someone on a exoskeleton that can allow them to use tank mounted weaponry was a bad idea

[opaque coyote]

Then again wtf do I expect from a xenophobic MiT

[queen laurel]

Fallout is genuinely funny

[crystal forum]

had a guy cosplaying as an NCR ranger at the furcon i was at and i told him i also wish it was a nuclear winter

[queen laurel]

They really need a reputation system that affects the world

Like

I'm the dragonborn Bethesda

[dusk patrol]

Tbf in “lore” they’re basically just Terminators

[opaque coyote]

The Gatling Laser is probably one of the few designs FO4 improved on.

[queen laurel]

A random mugger wouldn't try to rob me

[opaque coyote]

I genuinely love it.

[dusk patrol]

But we kick their ass cause we’re built different

[crystal forum]

the gun modularity was not needed, asked for nor required from fo4

[queen laurel]

Yeah but you think he would weigh his options trying to fight something that allows someone to carry tank mounted weaponry

[opaque coyote]

Also they are genuinely tough to fight

[dusk patrol]

FO4 improved on literally every aspect of combat from previous games

[opaque coyote]

They just forgot the RPG and story part

[queen laurel]

Yeah but my god when it comes to narrative it is the most painfully boring one

[dusk patrol]

Well he’s a robot with no free will, and the request is “give me the chip in your head which will kill you”

[queen laurel]

Better death than getting stomped on the head

[opaque coyote]

Oh 100%.

[queen laurel]

And the settlement building?

[opaque coyote]

I think the most limiting part is that they went with a mass effect type of character

[queen laurel]

Loses a lot of charm quickly

Why can't i just focus on a super settlement

[dapper gyro]

It is always funny that in the lore, the power armour can barely stand vs 7.62 AK round.

[queen laurel]

That's just one why do i need to go out of my way on making multiple

[dusk patrol]

It has some issues but I like it, at the end of the day I’m playing a game

[opaque coyote]

Ironically it lacks features.

It is also heavily clunky

Trying to place a house is genuinely frustrating

[queen laurel]

Yeah look with the dlci love building my own robot and capturing monsters to fight for me but after a while it gets boring

I can only make so many war machines

[opaque coyote]

Murder hobo is fun

[dusk patrol]

Where are you getting this from?

[opaque coyote]

No wonder people fall to Khorne

[dusk patrol]

They take absurd amounts of punishment in lore, it’s largely why the US was turning the tide against China

[vagrant fox]

I like Fallout 4 for stomping and romping around as Nate the Rake, warcriminal extaordinaire. I don't think the story is much worse than 3's, but 3's story also sucks ass to me

[opaque coyote]

I think 4's story is better than 3's.

But 3's was complete ass

So

Yeah

[storm jungle]

every time someone says "china"

I hear his voice

[dusk patrol]

Gina

[opaque coyote]

Like I know it was fixed in the DLC

But like

"Hey you're a Super mutant. Can't you go in and power on the machi-"

"NO"

"but you are immune to radiation"

"NO"

[queen laurel]

Yeah i just wish that bethesda was more narratively and mechanically creative at making games

[dusk patrol]

I like Fallout New Vegas. What I don’t like, is all the people who pop out of every crevice to meatride it and say their slogans whenever you talk about Fallout

[queen laurel]

It's a good game that's earned its fame but

[storm jungle]

"MUH SHADY SANDS"

Shut the fuck up man jesus

[queen laurel]

As usual people

[dusk patrol]

Also, fuck Morrowind, I don’t care if the story was 126272/10, game is dogshit to play and it’s not worth it

[opaque coyote]

I mean generally despite NV being my favorite.

People forget that it was major flaws at times.

The gunplay is still ass.

[vagrant fox]

It's a great game but it's glazed to high heaven, can't talk about anything Fallout without some spergoid shouting about how there'll never be another game as good as NV

[opaque coyote]

And no matter how many mods and RTX you shove up the game's ass. It will still look like shit

[queen laurel]

Yeah it shows its age in the gameplay

[dusk patrol]

“Oh but if you use all these mods the-“ or I can just read the cliff notes

“But you can kill peolle if you want which are key to the sto-“ who cares?!

[queen laurel]

Look i have modifying my game like a mek boy but sometimes

Why even bother

[opaque coyote]

Because they based it off of FO3, which was basically held together with sticks and duct tape.

[storm jungle]

I never understood that

[vagrant fox]

99% nostalgia for me, but I'm completely fine with the gameplay. It's not great, but I don't have any problems with it

[dusk patrol]

Why would I want to cut off the entire storyline?!

[storm jungle]

"oh you can kill them"

yeah and find out why devs make some NPCs unkillable

[dusk patrol]

It doesn’t improve the game

[opaque coyote]

I mean I like that.

It's funny.

[dusk patrol]

“Oh now I have to reload a save”

[opaque coyote]

Also you get a perk if you cannibalize all of the leaders

[queen laurel]

Look it's important for me to get lord death of murder mountain okay

Those children had to go

One way or another

[dusk patrol]

Like yeah Skyrim has flaws but ugh

[opaque coyote]

Ironically you cannot kill children unless if you mod it in.

Honestly, I think Bethesda knows because they still put in the effort into having them die and turn into viscera

[dusk patrol]

“As wide as an ocean as deep as a pudd-“ yes I’ve been on Reddit too you parakeet

[queen laurel]

Yeah i think its main flaw is lacks like weight in combat and it's like slow

There's a reason the stealth archer is very very popular

[dusk patrol]

Rockstar are real cowards if GTA VI doesn’t have kids

[vagrant fox]

Worst part about Skyrim is the blades, sworn to the Dragonborn being like nah fuck you lol

I'l permaseething

[opaque coyote]

I still think Skyrim holds together in terms of art style honestly. There are moments where it genuinely looks good

[queen laurel]

Yeah really highlights the dragon dude saying what's better to be born good or overcome your nature

[dapper gyro]

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Powered_armor_(Fallout) It says to withstand 2500J projectile, 7.62x39 is 2200J.

[queen laurel]

Like this dragon is speaking more sense than you lady

[opaque coyote]

The fall look of the forests of Riften is genuinely great.

[vagrant fox]

The lady did fuckall except get in your way and be wrong nonstop, what is she so far up her own ass for

[queen laurel]

I think it's just a classic case of blinded by their duty

They are made to kill dragons so they only know how to kill dragons

[opaque coyote]

The only thing the blades are good for are their sick ass samurai armor and katanas

[queen laurel]

What Bethesda game is fun to go melee build

[dusk patrol]

https://youtube.com/shorts/Bn2pEADswgk?si=6--z0XzoxnKR4Shh

[queen laurel]

Because a good chunk of their games it feels slow and clunky

[dusk patrol]

How many joules you think that is

[opaque coyote]

...

Fallout 4, but only if you put in a fuck ton of perks tbh

And also get a rocket powered Baseball bat

[queen laurel]

Yeah i guess that

Ugh

[opaque coyote]

But yeah, I do agree. Every Fallout game had ass melee.

[vagrant fox]

76, kind of as well

[queen laurel]

I just don't want to go through the problem of punching the high health sponge enemies

[dusk patrol]

Anyways we have plenty of canon depictions of them easily shrugging off rifle fire and worse, it’s only once you get into stuff like .50 cal or plasma they start to suffer

[dapper gyro]

Gameplay and the lore are 2 different things... Also, heat beam and kinetic energy are 2 other further different things.

[queen laurel]

The last thing i want to deal with is trying to punch a death claw

[dusk patrol]

It’s lore that Danse survived the Arcjet easily

My point being, writers don’t know how joules and shit work

They never do

[vagrant fox]

At least in FO4 there's that baseball that can send anything flying. It's fun for about one playthrough

[dapper gyro]

Do you take Joules to heat up water to then throw them at armoured plate???

[opaque coyote]

...gonna sound like a glazer at this rate.

FNV has one method to having fun with melee.

Greased lightning has the fastest punching speed.

Take some perks, take some drugs, and literally punch so fast, the deathclaws will literally turn into a viscera of gore while your arm turns into a jackhammer

[dusk patrol]

How much force do you think a fucking rocket engine is putting down on something

[queen laurel]

Yeah it has pretty good melee options in the vats even helps in that department

But it's quite old and as usual pretty clunky

[vagrant fox]

Lore inconsistencies aside, the drugs in FO4 were fun as well

[queen laurel]

And there are quite a lot of enemies

That can turn you into sashimi

[opaque coyote]

Yeah.

Generally, I think the stupidest decision was to not be able to use the power fist... with power armor.

...and also have no unarmed power armor options

Like why

What's the purpose? Did it fucking bug out or something?

[dapper gyro]

Surface area plays a role.

[dusk patrol]

What do you think someone is more likely to survive

[opaque coyote]

If I can't become Calgar and punch enemies into Elder Scrolls: Oblivion with my fists. What's the fucking point?

[dusk patrol]

A single bullet round

[dapper gyro]

I can't just put my head into calculation for of these stuff.

[dusk patrol]

Or a rocket engines force, assuming the heat doesn’t apply

[dapper gyro]

Anyhow, each type of damage does different thing to different type of material.

[queen laurel]

Yeah that's another thing i have a problem with skyrim

[opaque coyote]

Sometimes lore and how it actually works is different. Assume that the calculations were for like a weak point

[dusk patrol]

It’s simple, the writers don’t know how joules work

[queen laurel]

What's the point of giving the beast race a melss damage increase

When

There's literally no way to increase unarmed in a reliable way

[dusk patrol]

We see them easily shrugging off rifle rounds and worse in tons of depictions

[queen laurel]

Fucks sake

[opaque coyote]

"It just works"

[vagrant fox]

What's that quote from Todd, instead of looking what to add he talks about looking at what can be removed

Very ???

[dusk patrol]

It’s like when Halo writers said MAC cannons had a Teraton of power

[opaque coyote]

Tbf that is how game design works on some level.

Feature bloat is a thing

[dusk patrol]

Which is absurd

[opaque coyote]

And sometimes you have to remove shit

[tall plinth]

So in 40k is there any sort of centralized currency

[opaque coyote]

No

[dusk patrol]

A Teraton could probably crack a planet open, or at least destroy the entire atmosphere.

[vagrant fox]

Absolutely, but Bethesda has removed some weird parts that shouldn't be imho

[opaque coyote]

Barter is the only consistent trade

[tall plinth]

I see

[dapper gyro]

Not just that, in real life, it is like that too. Armoured vehicle armour are softer than body armour for example. While rocket plating can use titanium for weight saving and heat dissipation, but their toughness is absolutely horrible for stopping high speed projectile.

[opaque coyote]

Oh 100%.

Why the fuck did they simplify the perk system.

[queen laurel]

Seriously

[opaque coyote]

And then simplify it again in 76

It doesn't make sense

I guess for 76 it's due to multiplayer?

But like

???

[dusk patrol]

76 is just its own thing

Don’t think about it too hard

[tall plinth]

Wasn’t 76 a train wreck

[dusk patrol]

It’s still going strong

[opaque coyote]

Apparently bounced back

[vagrant fox]

Started out pretty bad, got better

[queen laurel]

It was but now it's much more stable

[tall plinth]

oh damn

[opaque coyote]

Actually bought it out of curiosity

[queen laurel]

Like cyberpunk

[vagrant fox]

I've had a lot of fun in it but it's not a great Fallout game in many aspects

[queen laurel]

You know was terrible but it got fixed

[dusk patrol]

I enjoy it cause it’s relaxing, it’s very easy to get to the peak and it’s fun to fuck around

[opaque coyote]

Might actually play through it and give my thoughts

[dusk patrol]

Base building is pretty solid too

[tall plinth]

I avoided getting it because I didn’t want tons of issues, also I don’t know how I like the setting

[dusk patrol]

It’s fine, the idea is kinda neat

[opaque coyote]

I mean 76 actually does make one big improvement.

THERE'S ACTUAL FUCKING NATURE AND COLOR

HOLY SHIT ACTUAL GREEN TREES

[tall plinth]

Fallout 4 was my favorite

[green loom]

I really disliked Fallout 3

The rest I mostly enjoy

[dusk patrol]

They had a whole thing where there wasn’t any humans and it was only other players and robots, and you found recordings and stuff

[vagrant fox]

I liked 3 as a kid, revisiting it as an adult totally ruined it for me

[opaque coyote]

FO3 is my least favorite but I can appreciate it's Virtues.

[dusk patrol]

And as the seasons progressed and the story got added onto they added more people and factions

[opaque coyote]

I genuinely like the atmosphere of the fucked up DC

[tall plinth]

I can appreciate what it did for the franchise certainly

[queen laurel]

I will give it one thing it's the founding foundations of the 3d fallout

I separate the 2d ones from the 3d

[opaque coyote]

Story is dogshit though

[green loom]

It had some cool ideas

But I somehow crashed it more than I did new vegas

And the final mission soft locked itself for me

[vagrant fox]

Some of the recordings were genuinelly great, that one doctor(?) who was trapped going over her musculature on how to pull a trigger as she shoots herself was poppin

[opaque coyote]

GAMES FOR WINDOWS LIVE MOMENT

[tall plinth]

What I’d give for an open world exploratory game like that but in 40K…

Gotta be one of my favorite genres

[opaque coyote]

Nah most planets are like

Planet of Hats

[dusk patrol]

Yeah they had some great stuff

[opaque coyote]

Maybe Necromunda but like

[dusk patrol]

Very depressing

[queen laurel]

Just set in a single planet and you're good

[tall plinth]

Dude a hive city would be awesome to explore

[dusk patrol]

It made it cooler when people finally returned too

[opaque coyote]

True.

Would be hard to make it interesting looking since you'd probably get tired of

Destroyed building areas

[dusk patrol]

After the scorched plague was cured and all that

[tall plinth]

Instead of a flat plane to explore like in traditional open world you work in a vertical map

[dusk patrol]

And then foundation and all that got made

[opaque coyote]

Wow progression!!!

Imagine West Virginia is actually just like

Actually really pleasant in ~228X

[vagrant fox]

It gets cozy, it's kind of funny how pleasant players are to each other as well

[opaque coyote]

Thanks to uh

You and nuking random areas to get loot

[dusk patrol]

The Nukes are canon too

[vagrant fox]

Hey, vault 76 is the best and worst thing to happen to Appalachia. Gotta take the good with the bad

[opaque coyote]

Tbf it does make sense on some level.

Cooperation is how we got this far as a species. I genuinely think that

If an apocalypse does happen, most probably wouldn't immediately go towards shooting each other

Rather the scariest part is just

You not knowing

[dusk patrol]

I gave them Whitesprings and all those transponders and water tower parts

They can take some Nukes

Also, whenever you nuke somewhere with people they just put hazmat suits on

[opaque coyote]

Seriously though. It would be funny if West Virginia got mentioned off-handledly in the next game

Like

"Yeah the place is great! Practically a paradise. Everybody is friendly and there's a lot of developed settlements. They even have clean water."

"...no idea why they keep nuking these random areas though. I'm pretty sure the craters have exposed lava"

[dusk patrol]

Canonically there’s just as many asshole 76 Vault Dwellers as there are nice ones so

And they’re all mutated and using extremely powerful weapons and power armor

Or secret service issue gear

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I think the coolest area in FO4 is the glowing sea.

And I genuinely wish it was more developed

Like

Idk

I get it, it's literally scorched by radiation

But honestly there could've been some more underground areas and shit

[vagrant fox]

Just chillin' with MODUS my boy in my secret service power armour, why not

[opaque coyote]

Although now I do wish there was an area that had like

A permanent nuclear winter.

You go in, it immediately starts snowing

Turns into a frozen radioactive hellscape

[dusk patrol]

Tfw MODUS just tells you he’s evil and killed everyone cause they were being dumb and he’s smarter

[opaque coyote]

P

[dusk patrol]

And then he ran out of minions so he needs more

[opaque coyote]

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish

P

Pa

dies

[vagrant fox]

wasn't there a mod for that but it was full on fetish

[opaque coyote]

Real

[dusk patrol]

It had some

Stuff

[opaque coyote]

It's sad because they actually had working cars in the mod

[vagrant fox]

I didn't really pay attention and haven't since, my only interaction with it was harranging a streamer about it

[vagrant fox]

That's unfortunate, I've seen some videos recently about working cars in FO4. If only the map was bigger

[dusk patrol]

Most normal fallout mod

There’s also weird feet stuff

These people left these things in the mod

That they knew others would see

[nocturne crest]

Why must you remind me?

[opaque coyote]

Honestly.

...

That is probably something I actually expect from the games tbh.

Fisto moment.

Not the weird feet sex slave stuff though

[vagrant fox]

Ah, the slave fetish foot thing with America

This has deep symbolism

[dusk patrol]

It’s specifically dirty smelly feet too

In the mod

Cause of course it is

[opaque coyote]

Again.

Whyyyy

[nocturne crest]

And she's underage as well.

[vagrant fox]

I wonder why the average foot fetishist has genuinely no shame

They're lost in their lust for feet

[opaque coyote]

Tbh plenty do.

The problem is that it's the most common fetish

[vagrant fox]

it can't be that common I refuse

[opaque coyote]

So statistically there's just more people weird about it

[viral halo]

has to do with something about brain wiring getting crossed iirc

which makes it common but diff shades of severity

[opaque coyote]

Apparently the part that controls arousal and the part that controls walking are right next to each other

And it's easy to mix up

Because God wanted to fuck with us

[dusk patrol]

Tbh I don’t even think foot fetish is that weird, it’s mostly the dirty aspect that makes it weird for me but

Whatever

That being said

[viral halo]

exactly

[dusk patrol]

Ain’t no girl gonna get ahold of my feet

Fuck that

[opaque coyote]

insert the 50k verbalase charlie song

[vagrant fox]

Instead of more einsteins we get more foot fetish
Humanity is fucked

[opaque coyote]

Honestly, Fetishes are literally caused by either childhood stuff, your brain being crossed, or just... random bullshit.

So you can quite literally develop a fetish out of nowhere

At any time

And it could be something ridiculous like tables

[vagrant fox]

I think of the guy with the floor tile fetish often

[lament shoal]

Wouldn't be a fallout mod without deathclaw sex

[opaque coyote]

"Why do we only see female horses?"

Nah

why do we only see female deathclaws

[dapper gyro]

To test that theory out, send feet pic.

I will note down how down people are.

As long as it is noted down, it is science.

For the greater good

[nocturne crest]

Okay, let me get my phone.

Do you want it posted here or dm'd?

[lament shoal]

BLUE XENO SPOTTED, CALL THE DEATHWATCH

[queen laurel]

Okay let me get my mace that's totally not going to be used to bash your head in

[opaque coyote]

k

[vagrant fox]

I just know when humanity finds aliens some total gremlin freak is going to be sniffing them alien toes like his life depends on it and we'll all die

[queen laurel]

Look to be fair aliens would probably find humans the most confusing race they have ever encountered

[opaque coyote]

Idk what would be scarier.

Either aliens are scared of our freakiness

Or the aliens are even freakier than us

Both are equally terrifying

[lament shoal]

What if they match our freak

[dapper gyro]

In the name of SCIENCE! I purge you unclean.

[opaque coyote]

It is time to take notes

[queen laurel]

In the name of my hand i will punch your teeth in

[dapper gyro]

A kick would be more appropriate.

[dusk patrol]

[opaque coyote]

Both of you are wrong.

You will get eaten by burger

[queen laurel]

Nah don't want to dirty my boot for foot slogging

[nocturne crest]

I wonder how come the sons of Gulliman haven't been destroyed yet for producing two sets of devestating traitors.

[opaque coyote]

Burger eat you

[opaque coyote]

Ultramarines

[dapper gyro]

No vore please

[vagrant fox]

I'm craving burger

[nocturne crest]

Adharon and his Reavers alongside Constantinus

[queen laurel]

Look if i have to explain how weird people can get d
To aliens i just need to screenshot Laati

And that would like explain 99% of it

[opaque coyote]

Too bad

I was the herald for an invasion

The hive mind will get it's fill tonight

https://tenor.com/view/maleceptor-warhammer40k-tyranids-brood-swarm-gif-15757136

[dapper gyro]

That vore fetish is a big turn off for me... go away.

You fitly xeno

[nocturne crest]

So does the previous KT count as Frateris Militia?

[opaque coyote]

Also honestly the big burger in Frieren is better than like

Most big burgers in general

Like

Most of them are tall rather than wide

[queen laurel]

Another one for the list unfortunately

[opaque coyote]

And I fucking hate that because I either have to cut them

[storm jungle]

They are just random groups of zealots

[opaque coyote]

Or unhinge my jaw

[queen laurel]

Welp the deino freak counter goes up again

[opaque coyote]

And I hate that shit

I would rather like a wider burger that I can eat

[queen laurel]

Yeah like why do you make it tall do you want me to unhinge my mouth like a snake

[dapper gyro]

I got a violent weekend, I need to compensate it out somehow.

[queen laurel]

Just make it wider

At least i can actually bite into it

[vagrant fox]

It's just wide in the wrong direction, you gotta rotate it

[dapper gyro]

Just compress it with your hands.

[queen laurel]

Thank you for the advice you crack addicted cousin of ronald mcdonald

[lament shoal]

All fax, no printer

[dapper gyro]

Seeing the sauce spraying out

[opaque coyote]

Maybe to make it look more appetizing? I don't know

[opaque coyote]

And then all the shit falls out

Congratulations you have to stuff it back in

There is no winning

[vagrant fox]

Everything good in life requires a sacrifice

[dapper gyro]

Can I sacrifice you instead?

I can get some good time in my life out of that.

[vagrant fox]

no

[opaque coyote]

@vagrant fox do you wanna know an embarrassing thing.

For a bit I saw your pfp as like

A ghost going "ooo"

[dapper gyro]

[vagrant fox]

You know it, I had to get snug in bed

[opaque coyote]

I need more

We've had less pixels this harvest

A famine is coming

Maybe I should get a burger in that case

At this point even if i hit you clean in the head with a mace it would probably bounce off because of your sheer weirdness you creature

[vagrant fox]

what is a bocchi
Is it a rosario + vampirelike

[opaque coyote]

Comedy anime about a band

[queen laurel]

It's a character from the anime bocchi the rock

It's like lsd on acid

[vagrant fox]

I'll ask my drugfiend of a brother to compare it

[celest dome]

Depression but Rock band

[queen laurel]

New notes from the spiky plant boy

Knows about Bocchi the rock for some reason

More observations should be collected

[opaque coyote]

Bocchi has severe general anxiety. Extremely introverted and withdrawn.

Ryo is just like me fr. She is weird.

Nijika is the leader. Kind and patient.

Ikuyo is the opposite of Bocchi, extremely extroverted and outgoing.

[celest dome]

Seen enough memes about it

[opaque coyote]

Bocchi wants to make a band and become popular. The problem is that her extreme anxiety causes this to be

An issue.

[vagrant fox]

I thought I was very funny comparing two pinkhaired animes in track jackets but nay
Perhaps I really am a clown

[queen laurel]

You knowing about that acid trip of an anime is like a dwarf apologizing being racist

It's so

Surprising

[opaque coyote]

It's honestly relatable to me.

Mainly because Bocchi's anxieties is similar to what I have gone through

Drawn to a comedic extreme but I can genuinely relate

It's a good anime

[queen laurel]

It's surprisingly deep when it wants to be

It's just that it's animated like someone decided to drink a gallon of acid

[opaque coyote]

The best part about it

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-bocchi-the-rock-gif-bocchi-hitori-gotoh-gif-27266644

[celest dome]

I do read quire a few manga, so I guess

[queen laurel]

Hey me too and i mean by a few i mean few by skaven horde standards

[celest dome]

I guess I should watch that one

[queen laurel]

So like

A lot

[celest dome]

I fell into the Otome Isekai hole

It's great

[queen laurel]

Most of them are like generic garbage i read because i'm amused by it

[opaque coyote]

Honestly it highlights how ridiculous over-catastrophizing actually is.

At the moment it feels very real though. Like it isn't just a possibility, it WILL happen and IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE.

[celest dome]

The worst I follow on is Rose Garten Saga

[opaque coyote]

YES STUTTERING ONCE WILL GET YOU BULLIED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

and then you think back once you're calmer

...and then you realize

"holy shit why did I ever think that was possible"

[queen laurel]

I read alot of the generic mostly because i'm amused on how bad they are

Like i have like i'm pretty sure a good amount of the same genre

Of manga

[opaque coyote]

I am a casual fan of anime and manga. I think I mainly watch popular ones

The only reason why I have ever watched through One Piece is due to Quarantine

And let me tell you

...read the manga instead

[queen laurel]

That explains why you are patiently insane

[opaque coyote]

It is not worth watching all of the anime

Do you know how much Toei fucking stretches like

5 pages of content into 10 minutes

I think watching up until the end of Alabasta is worth though

Since the pacing is actually decent early on

[opaque coyote]

Yeah probably.

I don't regret it though

Well mostly

Dressrosa made me want to die

Seriously in the manga it's actually good because y'know

Well paced

But Toei decided to extend scenes like Robin running up a mountain for like 5 episodes

It also doesn't help that the animation clearly shows that the animators probably haven't seen their children in years

Because it's rushed as shit lmao

It honestly makes a good arc actually painful to get through because of it

[arctic talon]

Opposite effect of Tokyo ghoul anime compressing 120 chapters into 12 episodes

One piece anime almost having as many episodes as the manga has chapters is also another funny one

[rocky gale]

Isn't there like an episode where it goes from one scene directly to another and in the manga the two scenes are 100 chapters apart.

[opaque coyote]

Early on they actually condensed it fairly.

But yeah it's mainly because they literally just adapt one chapter

[arctic talon]

Yes

[opaque coyote]

One chapter

Per episode

[arctic talon]

It’s so ass lol

Tokyo ghouls anime adaptation is genuinely next level awful in terms of pacing

[rocky gale]

It start off pretty good, but like you can really tell things got rushed

[arctic talon]

Season 1 of both the original anime and Re are like

Fine

They’re good

[opaque coyote]

So One Piece anime goes at a snails pace

While Tokyo Ghoul anime skips chapters like they're a 5 year old on crack

[arctic talon]

They’re worse art direction wise and fleshing stuff out but whatever

They make sense and are coherent

[rocky gale]

and then like between seasons they released a bunch of Netflix exclusive short movies that explain why everything is different and introduce a bunch of new characters, so if you don't watch them you've no clue what's going on in the next season

[arctic talon]

You know it’s bad

When the best adaptation

Is the live action one

[opaque coyote]

There's no fucking way bro

[arctic talon]

Not even joking

[rocky gale]

Which sucked because I was watching the show on Vice, which didn't have access to the Netflix exclusive episodes, so it just went from one season to the next and I was so fucking confused

[arctic talon]

It lines up the best thematically

By far

[opaque coyote]

💀

[arctic talon]

It doesn’t devolve into generic edgy slop

Now I’m not saying Tokyo ghoul isn’t edgy

[opaque coyote]

Anime literally so bad the live action is better

[arctic talon]

It like absolutely is edgy as hell at times

But like it has actual content

[opaque coyote]

Gotta love Edge

[arctic talon]

And isn’t just

Slop lol

[rocky gale]

Tokyo Ghoul is getting a new anime isn't it?

[opaque coyote]

Just edge with purpose

[arctic talon]

Character interactions getting cut

Is so painful

[arctic talon]

No

[rocky gale]

Like Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood style

I thought it was

[arctic talon]

Unless you count the delusional ramblings

Of like

The deranged theorists

But I’m coping with them

An actual faithful adaptation

Would be nice

[rocky gale]

You know what anime needs the Brotherhood treatment

Claymore

[arctic talon]

https://preview.redd.it/tokyo-ghoul-i-am-a-ghoul-manga-vs-anime-v0-8xje2kg7of5a1.jpg?auto=webp&s=b35e2270706e8c0901f6a488610e27097ae6ea98

[arctic talon]

Real

[rocky gale]

Manga is so peak and the anime shat the bed hard at the end

[arctic talon]

Land of the lustrous will never finish its adaptation lol

So sad

[opaque coyote]

Well that panel is intense

Honestly. If there is one thing I wonder

Why is Manga allowed to be more Gorey than the anime?

Like this also happens in One Piece

[arctic talon]

It’s drawn media

The laws are less strict

Tokyo ghouls manga isn’t even that much more brutal

Compared to the anime

[opaque coyote]

In the manga, Whitebeard literally gets his fucking head shot by a cannon ball. There is a huge hole.

But in the anime it doesn't exist

[arctic talon]

It’s just that they really just make him like generic emo Japanese boy which is

So weird lol

He’s a massive fucking nerd and kind of goofy lol

[opaque coyote]

Tbf.

A massive nerd would try to make themselves look as cool as possible LMAO

[arctic talon]

There’s literally an entire chapter of Tokyo ghoul where he’s chatting with someone

And braiding their hair

[storm jungle]

[opaque coyote]

So I guess you can say the anime adaptation parts is in his head

[arctic talon]

(It’s peak)

[opaque coyote]

Slay

[arctic talon]

It got cut from the anime

Because they uh

[rocky gale]

Like the way the Claymore anime ends is like "Wow gee everyone survived with the power of friendship, now lets all split up and travel the world. But don't worry we'll reunite and fight evil again when the time is right"

Meanwhile the same point in the manga is ||"Everyone is dead... all the main characters are dead.... they were all brutally murdered by monsters...... there is no hope"||

[opaque coyote]

Cringe

[arctic talon]

Completely ignored that chunk of the manga lol

And Kaneki becomes very edgy

Anti hero spooky evil dude

Because uh

https://tenor.com/view/linkin-park-chester-bennington-crawling-crawling-in-my-skin-gif-22277194

But yeah they cut a vast majority of the actual stuff I like which is character interactions

[opaque coyote]

Honestly the only anime where I wanted there to be a different ending is AoT

Because it sucked

But nope

The same

[arctic talon]

Tbf

[opaque coyote]

Why do I ever bother

[arctic talon]

We don’t get the original dialogue

For the AoT ending

[rocky gale]

Like the ending of the anime they just genuinely forget the story is supposed to be a gothic body horror monster story and instead ended it like it was a season of Pokemon

[arctic talon]

Thank you for becoming a mass murderer for our sake

[arctic talon]

Incredible

[opaque coyote]

Thank god for that tbh

[storm jungle]

What was the original 💀

[opaque coyote]

But also like

I did not need to see Mikasa tonguing Eren's head

[storm jungle]

WHAT

[arctic talon]

Uh

[rocky gale]

I did

[arctic talon]

Let’s just say

Eren really does sound like an incel

LOL

[storm jungle]

He wasnt one already?

[arctic talon]

No

Like when more

Also everyone is like

Praising him

For genocide

[storm jungle]

guess it really is My War™️

[opaque coyote]

"FOR TEN YEARS AT LEAST!!"

[arctic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/water-writing-water-writing-gif-fire-writing-bro-is-onto-nothing-this-writing-sucks-gif-16029301679387297696

[opaque coyote]

Yeah that was honestly the worst part

Like

[arctic talon]

Thank god that got rewritten lol

[opaque coyote]

Don't thank him for literally KILLING 80% OF THE WORLD

[arctic talon]

Because does that not ruin

The entire fucking point

Of it all lol

Oh also the Anime despite wanting to make kaneki more edgy

Cut like

[opaque coyote]

Honestly some twitter users mistaked the ending for praising genocide and I was like

"HM. I WONDER WHY."

[arctic talon]

The points where he goes off the rails insane

Lol

Because they wanted their own thing

I guess

[rose thorn]

oh hey the new dead by daylight killer

[arctic talon]

[rocky gale]

Hey in the world of AoT, it's unfortunately genocide or be genocided.

[rose thorn]

i hate all the new shit in dead by daylight but also i play ghostface and still use like, the 2018 meta perks for stealth killers

[arctic talon]

anyways yeah this never got adapted to the anime lmao despite being so absurdly edgy

[tough haven]

Is ghostface still good?

[opaque coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/punisher-no-no-no-tanklorde-gif-25785566

[tough haven]

And what perks are meta for stealth?

[rocky gale]

Why is bro always pointing at something

[arctic talon]

its his thing

[storm jungle]

FYI im pretty sure thats from the show

[opaque coyote]

That is

Fucking funny

[storm jungle]

i almost got scared before i realised Bernthal is nowhere near psycho enough to actually support police IRL that wear that symbol

• the screenshots of the character cops on the set wearing them

[arctic talon]

Bernthal is like

literally normal

ish

lol

[storm jungle]

Yeah hes also like an abnormally nice dude lol

I almost forgot the punisher cop symbol thing was a plot point in the upcoming season

[arctic talon]

LOL

retreading the comics

for that one LOL

[storm jungle]

Its a good one imo and very topical

U.S police is awful lol

https://www.ladbible.com/entertainment/new-drama-marks-jon-bernthals-first-major-tv-role-since-the-punisher-20220526

lmaooo

[opaque coyote]

Tbh I doubt The Punisher would actually care about any trans people or gay or whatever

Like he'll acknowledge their existence. Probably call them by their right pronouns.

But he'll still fucking murder them if they're a criminal

[arctic talon]

Yes

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

Yeah pretty much

Frank doesnt care about anyone that isnt doing awful crimes

[arctic talon]

he doesn't pay taxes

[storm jungle]

anyway so he started blasting

[storm jungle]

chad

[arctic talon]

What about the baby suit dude

he didn't shoot him

[dusk patrol]

Best Frank is psychopath focused Frank who doesn’t care about anything but killing criminals

[arctic talon]

he just strangled him to death

[storm jungle]

Kinda, middle ground is better

in comics it works but if you had an entire show where hes just this it'd be boring

[opaque coyote]

Anyways

[storm jungle]

NOOOOO

[opaque coyote]

ba dum tss

[arctic talon]

I do find it hilarious that Kaneki ends up in a happier place + has a better life by the end of tokyo ghoul lol

[storm jungle]

Also man i really should finish Daredevil's last season and start watching the new one

im lazy af

[dusk patrol]

Reminds me of Triple H pointing

[arctic talon]

its not just endless suffering

[arctic talon]

LOL

[storm jungle]

absolute pointing legend

[arctic talon]

Idk what it is with like

people pointing

its just funny

[dusk patrol]

It has always been my dream to get a photo with him pointing at me

One day

He doesn’t do a lot of appearances though anymore which is kinda annoying

I guess I could go work for the WWE and win a belt

[opaque coyote]

I guess you can say

That's the point

[dusk patrol]

[opaque coyote]

[dusk patrol]

No

[opaque coyote]

unfun fact

us police only require 6 months of training

[dusk patrol]

Why can’t we just

Have fun conversations

[opaque coyote]

in the grim darkness of 40k lore chat

no fun allowed

[rocky gale]

Don't worry, I'll lighten the mood

[arctic talon]

that like version of him only exists for like a month

[storm jungle]

god

[arctic talon]

what is this from lol

[dusk patrol]

Sir Chwistofah

[storm jungle]

Game of thrones

[arctic talon]

oh

[dusk patrol]

House of the Dragon

[storm jungle]

its edited to be christopher from sopranos

[rocky gale]

Na HotD

[arctic talon]

I c

[dusk patrol]

And Sopranos

[storm jungle]

yeah game of thrones

[dusk patrol]

Fake fan

[storm jungle]

ITS THE UNIVERSE

SHUT UP

[rose thorn]

He’s the most played worst killer

[rocky gale]

If we're talking universe, then it's the Song of Ice and Fire

[dusk patrol]

Technically it’s A Dance of Dragons

[storm jungle]

Showverse

different thing

you little shi-

[rocky gale]

A Dance of Dragons is the era of HotD

[storm jungle]

My fist going up your butt is the era of ShutUp

👊

[dusk patrol]

A Song of My Foot and Your Ass

[arctic talon]

tbh he looks cool

lol

and is Iconic™️

[storm jungle]

"iconic"

people just wanna fuck him

is that hard to say

https://tenor.com/view/ghostface-sneakerhead616-dancing-ghostface-dance-gif-17487465459302977127

[arctic talon]

yes

[dusk patrol]

“Him”

[storm jungle]

"them"

[arctic talon]

also yeah isn't there like multiple

of them lol

[storm jungle]

also ghost face 99% of the time is a guy

the girl helper is like barely in most of the movies

[storm jungle]

no

the devs actively acknowledge their audience is gooners

smh

[arctic talon]

then why didn't they make it the hot version of Kaneki where he's like older

[storm jungle]

uhhh

[arctic talon]

he's like barely 18 💀

[storm jungle]

💀

[rocky gale]

In the words of King Stannis Baratheon First of his name, King of the Andals, Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm "Doesn't sound much like a dance"

[arctic talon]

I want him in his mid 20's smh

not when he's literally fresh out of highschool

[storm jungle]

if theres anything i hate more than Salamanders

its kids

[arctic talon]

he gets hotter as the series progresses tbh

[rocky gale]

Damn, decided to remind myself of that scene for the quote and am just reminded of how Weiss and Benioff completely fucked Stannis' character

[arctic talon]

oof

[storm jungle]

I mean

he was the stepping stone

on the characters-to-fuck-up list

LOL

[rocky gale]

Edmure as well

[storm jungle]

Dies offscreen

[rocky gale]

Like they really hated Edmure for some reason

[storm jungle]

oh wait

the dumbass nephew my bad

[rocky gale]

Book Edmure is actually just a chad tbh

Like the whole windmill thing is Robb's fault for not informing his men of his plans, it's supposed to be a sign of not thinking things through due to his youth. While Edmure makes the right decision with the information he has, wins a battle and protects his people.

But in the show they just turn it into Edmure being an idiot

and Robb being right

[storm jungle]

its okay Robb got what was coming to him

stupid twat

[rocky gale]

In the books Edmure can't shoot the bow at his dads funeral because he's heartbroken at the death of his father and breaking down in tears and everyone present is sympathetic and understands that he's a grieving son, but in the show they just make him a terrible shot and everyone laughs at him.

[storm jungle]

yeah i hated that scene change

[rocky gale]

God they really just hated him

[storm jungle]

legit made me cringe hard lmao

[rocky gale]

https://tenor.com/view/game-of-thrones-uncle-sansa-sit-please-sit-gif-14176663

and then this damn moment

Like he's right, in this moment he is the most qualified person in the room. The rest of the people present are no names or children.

[storm jungle]

god

do not fucking remind me

[dusk patrol]

At least the Chadfish was cool

https://tenor.com/view/dissapointment-dissapointed-blackfish-gameofthrones-gif-5567370

[rocky gale]

Now there's a man who dies offscreen

[dusk patrol]

Actor too old to have a proper fight scene lol

[rocky gale]

Explain Selmy then

[plush mason]

why is it called that anyway?

[arctic talon]

Has less weak bones

Idk

[rocky gale]

Bro was going to the gym, getting swole and taking fighting lessons in his own time because he was a big fan of the books and new he was going to have a big role in the future seasons, then Weiss and Benioff killed him off because he complained

[rocky gale]

Because

[dusk patrol]

Selmy’s actor is a few years younger and isn’t a 6’6” 70 year old man.

[rocky gale]

In universe answer it's supposedly a prophecy that we don't fully know or understand yet.

IRL answer, it's named after a poem by Robert Frost called "Fire and Ice"

[plush mason]

got it

[rocky gale]

and Song is because Songs are a very old way of telling stories and storys are typically an important theme of Martins work

[plush mason]

songs being vessels for magic and/or prophecy is a trope older than LOTR

[late osprey]

i mean beyond themes, it makes it more medieval

[late osprey]

larmoth's point about it being a vehicle for storytelling is very accurate (see Song of Roland)

[plush mason]

yeah

[dusk patrol]

If he likes Story’s so much why can’t he finish his?

Makes you think

[late osprey]

they were not always literal songs in the sense we'd know them, but the line between poem and song get very muddy the further back you go

[rocky gale]

The good ole Meereenese knot

[plush mason]

technically LOTR was never finished so

[late osprey]

LoTR was finished

[dusk patrol]

It definitely finished

The Silmarillion wasn’t even meant to be published

[late osprey]

if the showrunners liked GoT so much, why did they give the lannister soldiers the stupidest armor costumes conceivable?

[dusk patrol]

It was just Tolkien’s background he made for himself

[late osprey]

i hate the show so much in that regard, plus it's ruined all GoT total conversion mods for me

[plush mason]

im not talking about that unless the future stuff he was conceiving is also in it

[late osprey]

the silmarillion isn't the entire extent of his notes; the silmarillion itself WAS at one point intended to be published specifically alongside LoTR

so we can say the silver million wasn't finished

but LoTR definitely was

[dusk patrol]

That doesn’t mean it wasn’t done

He just had other ideas for later stories

[rocky gale]

If you're referring to The New Shadow, it wasn't finished because he decided it wasn't a story worth telling.

[dusk patrol]

ASoIaF has never had a point where you could stop

[plush mason]

hence i said technically

the trilogy was done

[late osprey]

it also was sequel, not a book in the same story

[plush mason]

the story wasnt

[dusk patrol]

Well it doesn’t really matter for this discussion

[late osprey]

new shadow's more like a cancelled project

[plush mason]

which is sad

[late osprey]

i think a political story in Middle Earth could've definitely been fascinating, but he knew his setting best

the real reason GRRM doesn't finish is because the plot has now progressed to winter, so theres not enough food for him to write eating scenes for

[rocky gale]

Although The New Shadow was cancelled, there were some letters suggesting he was reconsidering trying to write it in the final year of his life, but we'll never know.

It's very possible he would have decided it wasn't worth it again

[late osprey]

ultimately its themes were against the story of the setting, so im not surprised

[plush mason]

well the obvious answer is to write more incest scenes /jk

[late osprey]

it would be like if GRRM wrote his story in such a way that it, actually, was against objective good vs objective evil the whole time

still would've been interesting though

[late osprey]

frankly im more of a Dunk and Egg enjoyer anyway

[plush mason]

i know like nothing about GoT/HoD but i hear the books have a lot of incest which idk if thats a meme or not

[late osprey]

i mean "a lot" is a little pushing it

i would say Rick and Morty has "a lot" of incest

but there is incest in Asoiaf

[plush mason]

Rick and Morty is one of those shows i want to love but its style of humor just doesnt work for me

[dusk patrol]

It’s a key plot point but it’s supposed to be weird still

[plush mason]

same with hella boss

[dusk patrol]

Rick and Morty someone definitely has a incest fetish

With how often it comes up

[rocky gale]

It has like one family that basically practise incest as a cultural thing, then a couple others who do it but are thought of as weirdos for doing it

[plush mason]

so blue blood

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/nice-gameofthrones-jaimelannister-jaime-lannister-gif-5517308

There’s also Crastor

[plush mason]

so there is likely less incest in GoT/HoD than there is in an actual history book lol

[dusk patrol]

Who has multiple layers of incest

[rocky gale]

Kinda, the Targaryens were given special permission by the Pope to do it because they're the last High Valyrian's around (Beside Velaryion and Celtigar) but for everyone else it's a mega sin.

[dusk patrol]

Valyrians get to do it cause they had dragons

[late osprey]

honestly yeah, there's about as much as there is archetypical mythologies (see The Death of Arthur)

[dusk patrol]

And by the time they didn’t it was already “ok”

[plush mason]

ok so there is a LOT less incest

[rocky gale]

Depends what level we're talking

There's a lot of cousin marriage amongst the other noble houses

[dusk patrol]

You gonna tell this guy he can’t fuck his sisters?

[late osprey]

the main trap is assuming GoT is particularly more "realistic" or "historically accurate" than other fantasy classics, which was especially an issue with fans when the show just came out

[rocky gale]

But like anything closer is not allowed by law or the church

[plush mason]

yeah the giant dragon kinda gives him a "i can do what i want" card

[dusk patrol]

It helped

[plush mason]

which is another thing, i like the darker color tones with the odd pop of bright but man did that ruin the perception of the time period

[arctic talon]

Medieval time must look like mud

And brown

And silver

And grey

NO COLORS

[plush mason]

yup

[dusk patrol]

They didn’t invent colors yet

Duh

[arctic talon]

WHAT THE FUCK IS A DYEEEEEEE

[dusk patrol]

Everyone wore leather

[late osprey]

yeah see actually everyone in power was actually psychotic

[dusk patrol]

All dark brown leather

[plush mason]

when historically bright colors where signs of wealth so all the nobility wore as garishly bright dyed outfits as they could

[arctic talon]

What is wool

[late osprey]

really the primary difference is that GoT is ultimately secular in a way that medieval europeans would consider completely alien, beyond any differences of aesthetics or material culture

[green loom]

House of the Dragon is a bit better in that regard

[late osprey]

and also the faith of the seven is like a shrivelled weakling in comparison to the RCC historically

[dusk patrol]

We didn’t invent colors until the Renaissance, everyone knows that

[late osprey]

despite having an army or something lol

[arctic talon]

Nah they were invented back in like Rome and Greece

And the. We forgor

Because it’s the dark ages

They were dark

The color pallet has to be dark and edgy

[dusk patrol]

Dammit I was gonna make that joke

[arctic talon]

I’m too good at this

[green loom]

House of the Dragon has unique outfits for basically every noble house big and small it's pretty neat

[plush mason]

ngl i had no idea the term dark ages was as old as it is

[dusk patrol]

It’s not very historically accurate though

[arctic talon]

I actually am a fan of color pallet diversity tbh

[dusk patrol]

For example, they didn’t have that many dragons back then

[plush mason]

i always thought it was like victorian era

[dusk patrol]

And most weren’t that big

[arctic talon]

Where are the giant snails

They’re everywhere in art

Where did they go

[dusk patrol]

Also, nobles weren’t that sexy

[plush mason]

since fucking up history was the national pass time of victorian england

[green loom]

Like these are Rosbies, Darklyns and Stokeworths I think

[plush mason]

did bro take an axe to the face?

[late osprey]

they look way cooler just in this one frame

than GoT

[arctic talon]

dear god

[late osprey]

i HATED the lannister soldiers so much with how they look

[arctic talon]

is that padded leather armor

[dusk patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/rhaenys-death-scene-funny-memes-funny-reaction-memes-gif-13669763225881436107

Ah, victory

[green loom]

Even the Rook's Rest guys who have .05 scenes

[late osprey]

i mean it just looks like cloth gambesons over mail

which isnt entirely ridiculous

[green loom]

The Rosby troops have like a weird coat of plates

[rocky gale]

House Staunton

[plush mason]

its a classic low fantasy look

[green loom]

But it looks good overall

[late osprey]

frankly when i judge armor its not really on if its 1:1 what europeans wore since even that was highly diverse

so much as if it looks reasonable and, more importantly, it looks cool

[dusk patrol]

If it looks cool then fuck if I care

[late osprey]

lannister armor doesn't look cool

[plush mason]

what does it look like?

[green loom]

Riverlands houses almost all get their own looks too

[plush mason]

Gondor

[arctic talon]

it has color at least

lmao

[dusk patrol]

I like it tbh

[arctic talon]

the helmets look goofy

tbh

[plush mason]

https://tenor.com/view/lord-of-the-rings-uruk-hai-gif-14444673909817419600

[late osprey]

i hate it so much its unreal

[green loom]

Like I love this stuff

[late osprey]

kingsguard armor, meanwhile, looks great

[plush mason]

its a fucking Uruk helmet

[dusk patrol]

Mfw I’m a Lannnnistah

[plush mason]

oh like some strange lamellar

[green loom]

I think it's supposed to be plate with like

[plush mason]

its like they mixed the roman armor with japanese

[green loom]

Shit on top

Assumption obviously since it looks the way it does since it's probably plastic or some shit

[late osprey]

its like

boiled leather if im being charitable

which just doesn't look good

[green loom]

Also again random Westerlands house has unique gear

[plush mason]

i swear some of this stuff looks like it can out of the LOTR movies

[late osprey]

malding that HoTD has such a better costume department but all the bannerlord modders will keep using GoT

malding so hard you have no idea

[plush mason]

i want the horseman's drip

[late osprey]

also i wonder if when the book talks about his characters being able to kill kingsguard casually if thats supposed to imply that's shit or

[green loom]

Meanwhile GoT

[late osprey]

if he just made the kingsguard to be jobbers

[arctic talon]

okay jokes asid

[rocky gale]

House Lefford of the Golden Tooth

[arctic talon]

when the fuck

[green loom]

I guess it's kinda fair since they had a shittier costume department

[arctic talon]

did the whole like

Dark Ages == no fucking color thing

begin

[green loom]

But even the lords all look the same lmao

[plush mason]

literally the early Renaissance

[late osprey]

every trope you can think of likely originated as a Victorianism

[vagrant fox]

probably with the renaissance cucks

[arctic talon]

[late osprey]

they wanted to shittalk the middle ages as hard as they could to emphasize their own sophistication vs ye olde barbarism

its also where things about crane-lifted knights come from

[arctic talon]

Another 10 million dollars to making all terracotta soldiers in video games unpainted

[plush mason]

yeah they where hell bent on showing the previous age as one of backward savagery and darkness

[arctic talon]

I'm going to kill whoever at CA or GW decided the cathay terracota stuff shouldn't be painted

(in minecraft)

[late osprey]

i do not like a lot of cathay's designs

a lot of it is way too high fantasy

[plush mason]

the wall is painted like come on

[spare osprey]

If we’re talking armor

[late osprey]

the normal troops are generally inoffensive but like

[arctic talon]

The wall wasn't painted irl like that lol

[late osprey]

floating islands everywhere?

come on

[arctic talon]

but like

why the fuck aren't the soldiers

like the wall not being painted is fine

[plush mason]

no i mean cathay's

[arctic talon]

Oh

yeah well still

[spare osprey]

I like the house of the dragon gold cloaks

[arctic talon]

I don't get why they painted the wall

but not the fucking soldiers lol

[plush mason]

its white and green and you expect me to accept there is just giant mud brown turds studded all along it?

[green loom]

Dude the Gold cloaks scene in Season 1 was so good
