@HLC_actual @175Wpns I find it kind of funny that they designed the M16 Half Track to be close anti-aircraft cover for the infantry in World War 2; however, by the time D-Day rolled around, the Germans had like three functioning planes. So we just used it on everything else.

@175Wpns That’s an M45 quad mount .50. The primary lead slinger for ww2. Earned the nickname the “krautmower” and the “meat chopper” for its contributions in the battle of the bulge. Turns out you can literally mow an entire flanking SS battalion with one of those. Grandpa was hard af

@Techfanferrum @The_Lord_Otter My point exactly. It won't be the first time that they've pulled the 'Hey! Remember that guy who did the thing that you liked? Well, he's back!' trick.

@RealRVanDusen @The_Lord_Otter Kinda the same camp. Modern production houses have a track record of shoe-horned garbage in their media. I want a good Conan and Tartakovsky has a good track record, but will the studio and staff cooperate?

@deshift1 @JDPilcher @The_Lord_Otter Ah, but they can be 'reimagined for the modern audience'. The original Conan stories would probably give the average Hollywood type these days an aneurism. And they did try to reboot Conan with the 2011 movie (which was better than I expected).

@RealRVanDusen @JDPilcher @The_Lord_Otter Conan can't be "rebooted" when there's hundreds of his stories that haven't been told. The movie from the 80s was just one story told of Conan. This one is one we haven't seen on screen before if I'm not mistaken, which was during his piracy era.

@JDPilcher @The_Lord_Otter That may be true, but frankly, I've just watched so many IPs I loved being rebooted/reimagined/remade over the last decade and violated by Hollywood that I just expect it at this point. Sometimes they even bring in a fan favorite creator to lure viewers in.

@AngryBootneck I'm saving my money for a physical copy. That way nobody can just Thanos snap the movie I bought and paid for out of existence. Because, let's face it, it's probably just a matter of time before this flick disappears.

@rowlands_laws Or maybe after the first season's done and they've gotten people invested, like what I suspect they're going to do with Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (which is why I haven't bothered to watch it yet).

@TArchcast I pretty much stopped buying video games because you don’t really own them anymore. $40-90 for something that will disappear the moment some arcane rights agreement runs out or someone just decides they need space for something else on the server? No, thanks.

Levels of submissive obedience that would be found deeply unseemly in a BDSM flick....

@WatcherDamned Or if his name’s on the credits and advertising, but they don’t actually let him have much creative control. A variation on the trap I mentioned earlier.

@WatcherDamned Eh...pardon my cynicism, but it sounds like the old 'Hey! Remember that guy who did the thing you liked? Well, he's back!' trick just to sucker you in. Like Ridley Scott with Alien...or Shane Black with Predator... I hope I'm wrong and it's awesome, but I smell a trap.

A line from my current WIP: For the first time he seemed to be really looking at her, and not just because she had nearly thrown a metal travel mug full of hot coffee at his head a few moments before. Maybe a future entrant in the #BasedRomanceBookSale?🤔

@japan_nobunaga And, depending on the part of the North you're from, it's either "You guys" or "Youse guys". 🙂

Americans, teach me the North vs South thing 🇺🇸 I keep seeing jokes about: • "y'all" vs "you guys" • sweet tea vs unsweet 🧊 • who's "actually" friendlier As a total outsider — what's the REAL difference between the American North and South? Pick a side and defend it 🍿

@WatcherDamned Somehow, this will end up being America's fault. Or climate change. America's fault because of climate change?🤔

@The_Lord_Otter Pardon me if I'm not quite as excited as everyone else seems to be. Amazon is involved, after all.
