@mightydudbolt @MccreaOrion In the old EU this is one of the ways how luke found some of his new students: consistently lucky scammers and gamblers, i recall it wasn’t a foolproof method but it got hits.

@MccreaOrion That's true, there could be borderline sensitives who go around trying to scam people

Watto only implies that he's familiar with mind tricks and that his species is immune to them. But he apparently thinks that encountering a Jedi is so unlikely that he doesn't even consider that Qui-Gon might actually be one. This is funny because it implies this is just something some asshole will walk in and try to do once in a while.

@DarkOddCon Me, the french mexican 2nd gen that larps as a eng patriot despite having 0 actual english blood. The people that created figures like tolkien must be saved, i'd rather not be included in the price but always accepted it might come to that if things get bad enough.

@mrmatthouse @TiredCadain777 whose organization was both sensible and made them easy to plan and collect. The lore felt "fixed" more or less with additions that felt natural whereas modern gw lore is eternally shifting sand and moving the story forward (something else i really loathe).

@mrmatthouse @TiredCadain777 Perhaps, if gw wasn't so clumsy. Sticking to space marines as an example, look at the mess with primaris who have 999999 overlapping unit variants, some of which get retired a year later lmao. I hate it all so much, and from an org pov it is so inelegant compared to older sm

I was genuinely pissed that the Rogal Dorn just "showed up" with no lore about where it came from

@TheGingerPerks Tons but right now the one that come to mind is Ring of red. Mech jrpg with a bunch of unique mechanics i haven't seen replicated since and with very fun combat. Otherwise throw in timesplitters 2/3 and freedom fighters whilst at it.

@HashimotoKana90 @RealPostFolder One of the biggest takeaways from the eipstein files for me was realising how illiterate a lot of our “elite” class really are like its some sort of status signifier, aka they are so powerful they can afford to write worst then this 16 yr old you are lambasting.

@RealPostFolder “Waisting” Yeah this guy won’t be getting the 9-5 with 4 weeks PTO and weekends off. More like 5 hour shifts at McDonald’s and Taco Bell 6-7 days a week, no PTO, no health insurance.

@ShitpostRock2 Concord. Its a boring answer i know but the corporate angle is what makes it the winner for me. Suits were pleasuring themselves for years about how this would be a new star wars, the sheer disconnect between suit expectations and reality is one ive only seen with facebook meta.

What game is the ultimate lolcow of gaming?

@mrmatthouse @TiredCadain777 And id hate if some bl book comes that completely redoes the lore and structure of the blood angels so as to make my collection obsolete/non canon. Instead i moved on to collecting another army i found cool,another collection to aim for, with a clear finish.

@mrmatthouse @TiredCadain777 Your comment made me reflect though people really do enjoy the hobby in different ways because my answer would be no: i want to build towards a finished collection, not feel like my setup is incomplete because of a retcon. To me my 4000pt blood angel army is finished 1/2

@AnAverageGamerX If you cant spare a decade of your life, spend 1.5 billion nor have licensed music galore are you even a real indie dev?

>lil indie game >it has more licensed music than your 100M Hollywood Film But totally normal for an indie studio to pay for these songs. they all do it.

@y5ccz In fairness people overshare so many details of their lives nowadays (prob encouraged by companies who want ppl to yap about every detail of their life) that i can see it becoming normal In a few more years. We are becoming less and less anon.

why do porn sites have a “share to” button like who watches porn and thinks my brothers and parents would really enjoy this

@ktbresnahan @douglasbulloch The uk went from the richest nation on earth to being so bankrupt people were rationed for decades, meanwhile usa profited, all that gold from fort knox was what uk paid, so that saying seems silly. Provided the industry maybe would have been more accurate.

@douglasbulloch Your man Churchill said it best: American provided the money. Russia provided the blood. And Britain provided the time.

Actually it was the British. We fought them for two years alone, defeating them in the air and at sea. Then we supplied Russia with huge amounts of material and intelligence from both North and South, by virtue of keeping the sea lanes open. Then we invaded Italy and Normandy while Stalin wasted whole armies trying to get to Berlin before us, afterwards to imprison half of Europe under communism, while threatening to invade the rest of Europe for the next 4 decades. We stopped the Russians doing that too. America helped.

@harukaawake You'll get used to it, same way france got used to seeing, what is it, something like one church burnt every 2 weeks on average for the past 5 years, and lets not forget the mysterious burning of the notre dame. The new normal.

🇯🇵⛩️ At Yatama Shrine in Mie Prefecture, a sacred tree (榊) was cut down and stolen. Whoever did this likely did it during the night when no one was around. This is incredibly shocking for the local community.

@WuTangDan10 @apemaxxing He knew, disney made an entire comic about him finding out about the planet.

@apemaxxing I almost wonder if vader even knew about byss or if palpatine kept it a close secret

(darth vader right before dying on the deathstar) should i tell my son about the ancient sith planet that i went to which is full of sith cultists trying to clone palpatine with a big rock? nah.

@FromKulak Those 19th century bros would agree with the moderns once i show them drone death camera footage with annoying music and of course the gleeful comments.

19th century bros that saw 3-4 wars in a lifetime: "Please God, give me a war. Don't make me one of those unlucky bastards too young for one then too old for the next" Moderns who haven't seen war in 3 generations: "War is hell, you don't want it. I'm not a coward, I'm wise."

@GlobalBoxOffice *checks date* No its not april 1st but i still cant quite believe it, this is something evil nazi chuds would do to make fun of hollywood.

@Charles95777519 @fermatslibrary The worst is if you are french, the propaganda for it is real when you are a kid and you are taught the fluffiest most sanitised version of what happened.

@fermatslibrary Why did the schools teach us the French Revolution was such a great thing? Picking it up on my own, I had to stop learning about it it is so vile. Nightmare material.

On this day in 1794 the French Republic guillotined Antoine Lavoisier. He had named oxygen, formulated the law of conservation of mass and founded modern chemistry. Appeals were rejected with the line "the Republic has no need of scientists." The next day Lagrange said: "It took only a moment to cause this head to fall, and a hundred years will not suffice to produce its like."

@ShitpostRock2 Fr i had avoided the persona games for the longest time because of what silly people online said. Only to play the game and discover it was nothing like what the mentally ill told me, especially regarding those 2 characters who i ended up adoring.

I hope you guys are excited for the new wave of discourse when the dialogue in the game inevitably gets changed or censored, just like it did with Persona 3 Reload!

@thechosenberg Poor dude. People dunking but i get it, you at the end of your life, dont know anyone anymore , and not only you going to be homeless but the one little pleasure you got left in life you can't even have anymore.

Landlords will not see heaven

@FromPayne @Tim30do @RupertLowe10 @BurnsideWasTosh Thank you this was the first thing that popped in my head when i read the first sentence and knew exactly where this was going. It's so goddamn tiring.

@Tim30do @RupertLowe10 @BurnsideWasTosh

History made. We won ten out of ten seats, with overwhelming majorities in every single one. Great Yarmouth First, then we Restore Britain. A very special day.
