    Carnival Row

    Right. Plus the Police are going to figure pretty damn heavily into the 2nd season, so having that background and character introduction helps.

    Carnival Row

    The world in this show more or less mirrors the world during that era, though. Unexplored shit, fewer rights, limited employment options. The fae kingdoms aren't that different from the Africa/India-Asian empire expansions attempted by Britain and other Euro nations back during that time...

    Carnival Row

    Which was the 100% exact same thing in the 19th/20th century of Irish and Italians.

    Carnival Row

    Ya, no "lightning bolt! fireball!" shit. You've got alchemy, necromancy, and seeing the future covered. Although the future reading stuff seems to be a mixed bag. They either see shit crystal clear, or it is more vague.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Nice, first time to phase 2?

    Carnival Row

    The Inca/Aztec/Mayan had pretty impressive civilizations and had a great grasp of architecture, math, and astronomy...but they never invented certain things (like gunpowder or the wheel for the Inca) and never really got a chance to adopt it or adapt it and the Conquistadors ran all over them...

    Carnival Row

    I figured it was some callback to something historical. While I couldn't find anything about the Victorian era, apparently in Ancient Rome for a time prostitutes were supposed to have yellow hair as an ordinance. Could perhaps have been inspired by that?

    Carnival Row

    It's possible the Burge didn't want to arm them (after all, the Burge wanted to more or less control that region for resources/etc as well). Those molotovs would have probably been enough to take out the zepplins if they could have flown above them and tossed them on the blimp part. Even if...

    Overwatch

    Ya it was funny. I checked his VOD afterwards to watch that game and his reaction and chat tearing him apart (dying to bronze OMEGALUL) was pretty funny

    Carnival Row

    No firearms, explosives, or industry from the looks of it. edit: but ya, give Fae modern weapons and they own

    Overwatch

    lol competitive disabled. OWL/Master players were getting matched with low ranks. I had some streamer named Redshell in my game.

    Carnival Row

    No, but the Red Sox were this season "cringe SJW" content always seems to depend on the perception of the viewer. Fae are an underclass and basically the stand-in migrants/refugees because their country got fucked up by the equivalent of 19th century European empire building. Because this is...

    https://t-ono.net/interview/natsuko-ishikawa-takeo-suzuki-interview-pax-west-2019.html Of note: From this, I imagine they will probably end up cutting most of the "go here, pray return to the walking sands" fluff quests.

    Carnival Row

    Pact basically came across as an Ottoman/Prussian Empire type entity. All we really know is Bruge soldiers allied with "main" sects of Pixie, Pucks, etc. But they did mention that the Pact were working with rival sects of fae during the flashback scene, although I got the impression the rival...

    The WW2 stuff also lol

    I liked all those

    Carnival Row

    Finished watching all of it. 10/10 for me. The gaslight/Victorian era mixed with fantasy was a big plus. Lots of 19th century parallels, including to Italian/Serbian anarchists, empire building, and stuff like HG Wells/Mary Shelly. Not sure why there are a bunch of 1 star review bombs on...

    Carnival Row

    1.5 episodes in. Love the setting...like a Victorian London with fantasy creatures acting as the underclass. Amazon has been batting .500 with its recent series (Boys, Good Omens, Expanse soon to come, this show)

    Interesting, Non Political News

    She seemed super familiar. The article then reminded me that she stood in for Kari on Mythbusters for like a season.

    Yes, but outside of savage/extreme clears, it's easier to carry a mediocre DPS than it is to carry a mediocre tank or healer.

    Joker (2019)

    With movies like this, you have a general idea on how it ends due to your familiarity with the character. If you're smart, though, you can use that to create drama and induce dread in the audience. Like even though you know how it ends, part of you wants it to go a different way and for the...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Limited repop and contested. Good gear, but extremely limited supply and no guarantee of good drops. At least onyxia scales guaranteed the item for everyone.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Ya, it's basically the "Luke in a cave and he fights himself in Vader armor" equivalent I'm sure.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    The original zones were in need of revamp, though. Flying aside, quest balance / engagement in many of the original zones was pretty iffy and there was a lot of underutilized areas. It also let them update things a bit graphically, since the vanilla zones were fundamentally the same since...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I do get their conundrum, though. If you invest too much in this and the nostalgia of all the kids who were in grade school / high school when Vanilla WoW was first out wears off, and main WoW remains stagnant, then you've invested lots of money into something that isn't going to give you a...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    A lot of the twitch people were kids back then as well, so that plays a role. The vanilla zones also haven’t existed since Cata, so there is that as well.

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    Ya, best part of the film to be sure. Too bad the rest of the movie was shit lol

    The Boys

    Ya, Butcher is "safe" for now because Homelander will be satisfied with the psychological torture aspect (because that is what Butcher had intended to do to Homelander). He knows that Butcher will get totally fucked up over this, but won't be able to do a damn thing about it because a) he can't...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    People did this back in classic as well. Eventually people realize that waiting and getting a guaranteed completion is better than a free for all fuckfest where you have no idea when you'll finish and depending on your class, may never finish to classes that can tag faster because of spammy AOE...

    Before some of you quit/take a break to play WoW from 15 years ago, the Rising Event started today. Some nice housing items/rewards that will only be around for a short while.

    DOTA 2

    The problem is always for the teams that have to get in via open qualifiers, there is a fairly short window. 1 month might be ok for some countries, but if you have a country that is all "lol wut is esports?" or some backlogged/difficult visa process that can't be fast trackers, then you're...

    The Key Arena is also under renovations until like 2021, which is another reason venues have been changing the past few years.

    DOTA 2

    They've looked pretty unstoppable. I'm curious on how some team rosters are going to change, though. VP seems to be all but a done deal that there will be some manner of roster shuffle after their TI choke. EG I wonder about as well. They're performed inconsistently, even though they have...
