breakfasts the one meal a day you cant really immerse yourself in the local culture bc all the locals are eating breakfast at home
Ginger Tucci@Ginger_Tucci
There’s no bigger ick than seeing a grown adult on holiday sporting a full football strip and having a full English breakfast. Gross. Eww. Can you just…. Not? Like why are you in another country without enjoying that countries culture and dressed like a 10 year old?

@JedKingly The true understanding for the sequels was realizing like 90% of problems with TLJ are in fact issues with TFA that Johnson had to deal with.
English
Incredibly funny that force awakens is the one that establishes he’s “given up” and is cowarding away on an island. Rian Johnson is just following up on that idea and interrogating it. Why would he be on the island if he’s just gonna leave without a second thought?

“I said to Rian Johnson, ‘Jedi don’t give up.’ I mean, even if he had a problem, he would maybe take a year to try and regroup. But if he made a mistake, he would try and right that wrong. So right there, we had a fundamental difference.” -Mark Hamill

@theunifyingfork The sith are great because they're a bunch of silly evil guys. You look at a meeting of ones from different eras and you just see this.

@RazorwireRPG Where does this classic fall in the bleak fucked up vs lollypop funhouse because it has a bit of both?
English
Post Apoc fiction is in such a weird place: it's either the bleakest most fucked up sad shit ever (The Road) or some kind of lollypop 1950's funhouse (Borderlands, whatever Fallout is supposed to be). Games are the same as we have the divide between Eastern European titles and again: Fallout. One of the many reasons I love New Vegas (and the OG games) is that they straddle that divide well. Unfortunately, because nuance and tact is hard - we only ever get extremes today. Balanced thoughtful worldbuilding seems like a lost art.

@Ortho_Dixie @Empty_America More likely smaller breeds than the grey wolf that no longer exist. Though dingo's are a good look at dogs before more modern breeding caused a lot of rapid change, at least in the case of how they would have been some 5000 years ago.
English
@Empty_America So we domesticated something more like a dingo than a wolf?
English
Dogs are functionally a different species from gray wolves, feral dogs never return to a wolf shape, they stabilize as 40lb "yellow dogs."
Large dogs are a small animal with inherited gigantism.
Like if you bred humans up to Gorilla size, they die young.
Kairo@Kairo_Anatomika
Why do large dogs have heart problems so often? Large breed the dogs live shorter life because their hearts give out. But these large breed dogs are usually smaller than wolves. So at what point during dog domestication did these large dogs start developing weaker Hearts than their wild counterparts?

@comfy_banana @justdani44 The power of friendship and a big doomsday weapon, mandos can't handle either of these.
English
@Redbrickadam22 @justdani44 They didn't even lost to the jedi order as a whole lol, they lost against revan and her friends
English
Mando posters are so cute because we’ve had multiple examples of Jedi absolutely owning Mandos and/or weaponry they’re exalted for as being anti-Jedi simply by using more than a lightsaber.
The second a Jedi uses the Force, it’s over.

They also use literal bullets that explode into shrapnel when hit with a ligtsaber.

@MationMiss Yeah Cecil or his predecessors would have had at least five failsafe's before Homelander hit puberty.

The more I think about it the more apparent it is how the government in The Boys universe is stupid compared to the government in Invincible

How would this guy deal with this guy?

@Meeperthe1 It's ok to have spikes and trim with your hazard stripes, the best IW model of all time had them.

This is my least favorite kind of person.
I genuinely get a little ticked every time i see horus heresy proxies for iron warriors.
Billions will submit to the dark gods

I was angry when I made this

@WarsmithDoc One day we'll get some support for the guys who are actually the "are they or aren't they" chaos

@niersgestalt I feel like the production guys really enjoyed 2 more and it shows in the production.

@FugeusRedux @thereisnobeth Falls into a bigger debate as the galaxy as a whole has seemingly agreed they are not but one could argue the case philosophically.
English
@thereisnobeth Their class position is kind of dictated by the question of droid personhood tbh - if droids are people, they are petit bourgeois (slave traders 😬) if droids aren’t people, it makes the Jawas thieves (more Lumpen)
English
@logorn_gadum They are a great addition to the world, one if my favorites even. Though I will admit infinite had some quality designs, ill hold Jega 'Rdomnai as one of the best especially knowing how elites feel about prosthetics.

@Redbrickadam22 The Banished I love but ironically they aren't even 343s creation they are creative assembly
English
Halo Infinite story was pretty pointless but I realized part of that issue is because of the disaster that was
Halo 5 Guardians
Gameplay? It's good. Being serious. But the campaign story is actually SO UNFATHOMABLY BAD that I think its the sole reason Halo as a main narrative (Chief stories specifically) can't really do anything meaningful. Cortana was turned into a dictator who killed billions, Joy is literally going to eventually go crazy as well, and Chief himself is so insanely overpowered that there's nothing that can be a legitimate threat to him, he might as well be a God at this point.

@zweiwalker89607 I'd like to see a few who got off world. I want their perspective on the galaxy or how they'd react to places with tons of water.
English
We really need more stories that treat them like actual people
Star Wars Daily@StarWarsDaily_
What are your honest opinions on the Tusken Raiders?
English
Perhaps the best litmus test for Star Wars fans it asking their opinion of Mandalorians

@Rosh0451 @crisjolus I always wonder about Malicos, going through order 66 then ending up on Dathomir right after. I feel like he never stood a chance.
English
@crisjolus And they all shift and change, some renounce the Jedi way, some hide themselves trying to survive, some do their best to fight the Empire from the shadows. But in the end, most of them follow the spirit of the Jedi far greater than anything the Empire could throw to destroy them
English
It's when you put them all together that you realize they can get away with "so many" suriviors of Order 66 because of how many of them BELIEVE they're all that's left. They don’t know who all is out there, and continuing to fight is way more inspiring than 1 of 10,000

@JediSpartanYT @DarksaberLight Do you truly feel she abandoned the ideals Vizsla stood for. Being against Maul being in charge snd against those goals are two separate things.
English
@Redbrickadam22 @DarksaberLight Hadn't Bo Katan and her followers renounced Death Watch after the main force sided with an outsider?
English
Failed at every turn in- AND out-of-universe
b@wwxwashere
show me a fictional character who was too good for the story they were in
English
@logorn_gadum Well with OC's I'm gonna be in a similar boat as a banished aligned Elite who has broken various rules or laws in the post schism era in the name of survival. So I'd understand.
English
'Serious' moment here.
If you met Logorn Gadum in universe, whether as yourself or your in universe OC, what would you think of him?
He fought in the Human Covenant War. There's no way for you to truly know what he did in those final years of the war, before the truce.
He didn't join the Covenant or Banished by his own choice, but at the same time his actions against the UNSC have been in varying wars. He is a soldier, a pirate, and even by elite laws, most likely a criminal. But he doesn't seek out a fight.
So. What do you do in the presence of an 8 foot tall, 80 year ex-Covenant now Banished soldier who personally never even understood the human war?
