I responded in a much more restrained way than just swearing at them, but their response was to claim it wasn’t in anyway innovative because it has towers that reveal the map? The entire bloody climbing system was completely different to anything that came before it

As an open world hater, seeing someone on Reddit claim Breath of the Wild is a typical Ubisoft formula game has irritated me to no end. No it bloody isn’t, what the fuck are you talking about?

Oh, they’re undeniably beatable. Which makes the fact Labour are on course to lose to them so depressing

It does look like that, lmao, but think it’s just the compression. Sorry anyway

I like HotD 🤷‍♀️

Fair, lmao

Apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the theatre?

Like, were it not for Reform leading the pack, I wouldn't necessarily see this kind of split as a bad thing

Whilst this obviously shows FPTP is creaking at the seams, it is, in some respects, healthy for a multi-party democracy that voters don't feel the need to strongly coalesce around two parties four years out from an election

Fun fact: today we are further from the first meerkat ad than Cleopatra was from the building of the pyramids

I do think a key to its longevity is it’s the only price comparison website to come up with a memorable ad campaign that isn’t just a repetitive song that burrows itself into your brain

To answer the first question, the premise of the initial advert was clearing up confusion between “compare the market” and Alexsandr’s own website “compare the meerkat”. Over time he just morphed into the company mascot

IIIIIIII vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above…

Fun fact, there are people who just started sixth form, etc.

This is my vote too. I’ve only seen the film once when I was too young to really appreciate it, and haven’t got around to watching it again, but the trailer is just sublime and really unique

Some recency bias since we’re going through the Cohens filmography along with Blank Check, but I remember being OBSESSED with the trailer for A Serious Man when it came out

People's attraction to Shiny well outpaces any of their stated ideas or demands. Everyone who posted that meme about paying more for worse games is apoplectic when a new game costs $70

lmao

TBH I think Dunking is perfectly approriate for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, provided we also Egg them on.

I really need to read them, my one blind spot

Yeah like the whole initial sell was "here's a fantasy story without all that silly orcs and wizards stuff"

Also people are acting like the core appeal of Thrones as a show was all the magic?

Like, I think the show’s disinterest in the magic of the setting caused it problems in the long run, but “what’s the point of a fantasy without fantasy” is such a weird thing to say about a Thrones spin-off?

I know I shouldn’t care, but still annoyed by the mindless dunking. People were like it in the run up to the first season of Hot D too and then, surprise, surprise, it turned out to be good

“This stage” being “is a leader of the Conservative Party”

Yup. I still need to read those

(It’s also based on a series of short stories by GRRM, the first of which is twenty years old)

The whole point of the main Ice and Fire story is it’s a world where magic is returning. There being a long period where it wasn’t relevant to people’s daily lives is kinda core to the setting?

People saying “what’s the point?” in the quotes are annoying, sorry

Too many people confuse “all art is political” with “good art should be didactic”

Helps that the loader bots are just a really well-designed, visually distinctive second faction that the series has struggled to repeat
