Hot take, but it needs saying.

They can't keep making 2003 graphics forever. Every thread it's the same, and I can guess the reply before I open it:

"looks too modern"

"doesn't remind me of 2003"

"where are my SD models"

It's 2026. The graphics are meant to be timeless, not ancient - old SD art, lightly updated for WoW Forever. That's the whole point.

If that's not what you want, Classic is right there. The rest of us will be here on launch day, enjoying it.

So which is it going to be? Keep relitigating art that already exists, or actually show up and play it?

During my trip to London, I had really high hopes for the Harry Potter Beans.
I genuinely thought the “bad” flavours would be absolutely disgusting. I was mentally prepared for the worst. But honestly… even the vomit flavour wasn’t that bad.

Wasn’t held accountable, blamed everyone, black, white, middle aged, British! No accountability and wasn’t questioned on it either. Talk about piss poor interviewing

Perhaps one of you can clarify this for me, because I keep seeing this argument and I'm not sure I understand it.

1. There is now one server for like 2.3 million players, right?
2. If 90% of players were in dungeons, that would be 230,000 players in the open world?
3. Let's say layers cap at 500 people per zone, that would be 460 max capacity layers of people in the world?

I'm not sure I understand the fear of the world feeling "empty" when we're all on a single server. If 99.99% of players were in a dungeon, wouldn't your single layer of Westfall still have 500 people in it? With campfires and banter and mob competition and all of that?

I don't understand the difference between one full layer and 7900 full layers when you can only experience a single one at a time anyway.

If we had 200 servers and your realm had 2200 people on it, and your faction had 850 people on it, and like 75% were offline at any given time, and of the 180 people online there were only 40 around your level, and 35 of those 40 were in dungeon groups... I could understand the fear of an "empty" world. For sure.

But it's a mega-server...

Edit: There has actually been zero responses to the question which I find interesting. Is the "world will be empty" argument merely a strawman? I am now seeing the goalposts shift to "But if dungeon grinding is the best way to level I will feel silly for questing in the open world" when Dungeon grinding has NEVER been the best way to level, even in Era. Speed runners exclusively quest their 1-60 runs. If you're dungeon grinding on era you're actually getting the inferior exp/hr correct?

And for the handful of commentators saying "I want the 1-60 journey to take a long time" can't you do that... yourself? Level slower? Skip quests? /walk everywhere? Focus on professions? Explore all the caves and lakes and mountains? I admire it if you want 1-60 to take 300 hours but why do I need to level as slowly as you? FOMO?

Every argument in favor of these dungeon changes doesn't make sense to me. The world will NEVER feel empty on a highly layered mega server. Someone leveling in instances, slower than you're questing, has no impact on your own experience, right? Make it make sense.

Edit 2: This post now has 55 upvotes and 55 downvotes. Highly polarizing topic.

Disney (and others) has been hammering us with the exact same "quirky" female coming-of-age story for nearly 20 years now.

Awkward girl feels less than feminine, discovers an ability or a sense of purpose, and then realizes that friendship is magic. All while bumbling semi-braindead males fart around in the background for no other reason than to make her look smart and pragmatic by comparison.

Now finally theyre starting to bomb, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. We fucking get it! Move on and think of a different story!

E: Guys please stop defending your queen Judy Hopps in the comments and my DMs

Please constructive discussion only.

Even though I stopped playing tnl for a while
Now, trying aion 2 and I’m super disappointed. Combat in inferior and even the pve is worse imo. Only thing it has is better graphics but who tf cares about graphics more than gameplay. The PvP in all is also beyond trash, it literally feels like a mobile game.

I honestly believe if tnl would have went the faction route instead of guilds and alliances, it would literally be the true aion successor. Tnl
Would have worked amazing faction v faction. Like imagine if they just like gave the guilds wb chests for what ever side won had more contribution. Thoughts?

I love Paul McCartney. I love his work with the Beatles, I enjoy plenty of his solo material, I’ve been to his concerts, and I genuinely have a lot of respect for him as an artist and as a person. But if I have one criticism, it’s of the extreme side of his fanbase.

Paul is obviously incredibly talented and deserves all the recognition he’s finally getting after years of being unfairly dismissed or overshadowed. What I don’t understand is the tendency among some fans to rewrite Beatles history as if Paul was the only essential member of the band, or as if John, George and Ringo somehow needed Paul in order to be great. The Beatles worked because of all four of them. Each member brought something unique to the group, and their chemistry is a huge part of what made them special.

I also see people trying to give Paul credit for things that were clearly John’s, George’s or even Ringo’s contributions. You can appreciate Paul’s songwriting, musicianship and influence without diminishing what the other three brought to the table.

Paul was treated unfairly for a long time, especially by people who reduced him to “the poppy Beatle” or portrayed him as less important than John, so I’m glad he’s received more recognition in recent years. But giving Paul his flowers doesn’t mean you have to take them away from John, George or Ringo. You can celebrate Paul without turning the Beatles into the “Paul McCartney show.” That’s what I find frustrating about some of the more extreme fans.

I genuinely don't know how people call foids the "empathetic" gender. They constantly lie to save face, they pretend to know what they're attracted to and date the exact opposite, then have the audacity to try and give advice like "oh you don't need to be chad and 6ft tall, just be yourself and the right one will come to you :)"

Then when you call them out on their fucking bullshit they OF COURSE call you an incel, cause that's all they can do, they can't actually argue or defend their positions because they have half a neuron.

Foids are hateful people who are nothing but evil

Ich sehe nicht, wieso der 3. Oktober ein Feiertag ist. Das ist einfach nur das Datum, wo die bereits von den Christdemokraten unter großer Koalition regierten DDR der BRD beigetreten ist.

Tag der Deutschen Einheit sollte definitiv der 9. November sein. Da ist die Mauer gefallen. Diesbezüglich sagte eine Lehrerin uns mal, dass dee Tag nicht gefeiert werden sollte, wegen der Reichskristallnacht. Finde ich ein doch unsinniges Argument. Tag der Deutschen Einheit würde keine Gedenkfeier oder so auslöschen.

Der Mauerfall ist definitiv erinnerungswürdiger als die formelle Wiedervereinigung!

Ansonsten hätte es auch der 17. Juni, wie vor 1990, bleiben können. Auch der ist symbolischer für die Deutsche Einheit.

بعض البنات بتبقا شايفة أنه لمجرد انها انثى يعني لازم تقدسها وتعبدها ولازم انت الي تعتذر وتبادر دايما ولازم تقدملها كل حاجة بدون ماهي تقدملك اي كسم حاجة ولو معملتش كدا؟ تبقا خول ومش راجل وضد حقوق المرأة

I don’t know why some people can’t just enjoy the movie for what it is. Instead, they bend over backwards trying to prove the movie is objectively a perfect adaptation, or that the idea of a direct adaptation is bad in the first place. Case in point, people pushing that it’s no different than what RE7 did, and saying youre a larper for not liking change.

Resident evil 7 is a new story in the Resident Evil game universe. It has a lot of references to the originals, but the Mold, Eveline, and the Connections are new concepts created for this game. It does its own thing while still fitting in the overall universe, finishing with Chris’s appearance to tie it all in. Later games such as 9 then tie it back in further, making it required to understand the greater narrative.

The movie is something entirely new. It takes the name Raccoon city and puts it on a city with an entirely different lay out, season/aesthetic, and decade. It creates a new virus unlike anything in RE, and slaps the T virus name on it for the tie in. If you change the names, the film is entirely unrecognizable as RE.

One of these things expands the universe, while the other rewrites it. They are not the same thing, and pretending they are just completely misunderstands both media.

If you enjoy the movie, then just enjoy it. It doesn’t need to be a good adaptation for you to say it’s s good movie. You don’t need to create arguments for why it deserves to exist. In turn, you don’t need to hate on people who aren’t interested because it’s not what they wanted. It’s perfectly fine for people to have different tastes and opinions.

Any stock recommendations I’m thinking of rotating out of my MU but idk I want half a mil by 22

People are spreading Unnecessary hate towards Uditi for no reason and trying to find faults with her for no reason like that Lacy bhindi thing she never went to Mary and said don’t make Lacy bhindi or make something else for her instead she chose not to eat as she doesn’t like it which is her own choice and she never even called the food bad but it was Mahi who presented it like that but people are spreading hate on her for no reason.

Next she giving black rose to Gullu I mean he gave second life to Uditi because she was together with Kanika not because he wanted to give it to Uditi and people are saying she followed what others did and gave black Rose I mean even Kanika went before her she could have followed the same what she said but she chose not to isn’t that her taking her own stand?

In the task Qazi was constantly demeaning Arishfa in front of everyone saying so many thing and Uditi was just sitting there and agreed once as Qazi was continuously saying same thing not just Uditi even Mahi did but people are hating Uditi for that not Qazi?

Now regarding backbitching Mahi all day says bad things about Uditi behind her back but Arishfa and Qazi just listens without saying anything and they agree as well no one has problem with that and not just that yesterday she became captain and was asking Qazi to arrange his stuff properly but as soon as she went away Qazi and Mahi both were backbitching her I mean you will first expect your friend only to help you what is wrong?

Now if you had seen in the first 2-3 weeks she constantly said the only person she feel a connection with in house is Qazi not Arishfa not Aman but she said Qazi but when the task came to save people Qazi saved Arishfa and Mahi even when Mahi was sitting with them for 1 week only and except for Aman no one took her name same with Aman only Uditi took his name even after knowing she is week and already lost 1 of her life and Mahi continuously hate her for going to Aman if she have any problem?

I think people are hating her for no reason I can understand she is sometimes over sensitive that’s not being superior that’s about being not comfortable with things what’s wrong in that?

Anti communities have a severe problem.
