@Howl8610@eventualforever I mean, in First Light it's very blatant and a little jarring ("here, Bond, throw away your piece of shit old watch and select from this box of fine Omega TM watches"), but because that's a very Bond movie thing to do, it wraps back around to almost being charming
@PurpyNFL The biggest fantasy LARP in the UK explicitly bans tricorns because they're not setting appropriate, so the guy desperately asking if it's LARP is funny.
It isn't even LARP; LARPers say no.
@realmsmisery@azerdino I do reckon Arya is our primary Smallfolk POV: she quickly drops the trappings of nobility, and basically just lives among the commonfolk witnessing the horrors the nobility's war have stirred up for the people, being equally subject to them as the people she's travelling with.
@N3CR0_V I remember when Skinamarink came out a few years ago, I saw a review that stuck with me that said "most people won't like this movie, but they'll love the film that comes out in a few years that couldn't exist without it".
I need to check out Backrooms to see if it's that movie
@ThatsNotScandal@Djltheescapade@lewxueOW The rope in that gif is used to literally whip Bond in the nuts in an extended scene; they try to quite literally emasculate him as a form of torture.
Do you see the irony in accusing the video game of emasculating Bond here?
@barfieldgussy You really see this distilled in his Punisher stuff, where he'll often touch explicitly on "racism is a blight on humanity", but he doesn't have either the self-reflection or the restraint to not populate the run with an assortment of lazy negative stereotypes as Punisher fodder.
@The_GM_is_God The thing that makes them such great goons is that they're not perfectly "themed"; you'd lose so much if they were just clowns rather than a pack of thugs in matching jackets who seem to be embracing how weird their boss is.
@pirateherojones The reputation of Americans internationally is poor enough that you don't really need to make the term itself derogatory. People understand from context that you're being derogatory.
Yanks is just snappier to say (and avoids catching South America or Canada) than "American".
@gfhcdrhvxr81575@SolveBuild@xav_moss For the rest of the world, "yank" is a pretty broad term for American. "Southerner" is typically a pretty meaningless term because we don't mean your south when we say it, so yank grew to be the overall term for all Americans.
@LThanhHao232@queerredfield The game has Bond's two roommates ask him to settle a debate on which picture goes in the living room; a nice painting, or a kung-fu movie poster. The female roommate complains the poster is meathead guy shit to push her preference.
It's a fun scene that chuds hate I guess?
@StreliziaGDR@durandalcomplex Don't be penetrated is the exact opposite of a glass canon; it means heavy armour that lets you shrug off a successful hit.
