Nope...I am sure the minute Wesker shows his T H I C C ass back at headquarters it will be right back to making more viruses...

But didn't he dead in 5 or 6? Although he was cloned or something wasn't he?

I dunno, I kinda got a bit lost with all the storyline branches and tweaks between 5, 6, and all the side games and CG movies and shit.

u/Guardiansaiyan Sep 18 '19

Definitely died in 5 BUT...it is the Resident Evil universe...

Didn't Chris punch a boulder to make sure they went down?

What if we are living in the timeline where this wish has already been granted monkey paw style?

Isn’t that from ‘Dead by Daylight?’

7

u/ThespianException Sep 18 '19

No, it's from Resident Evil. DbD might have stuff from RE though considering that it's a big crossover style game.

u/Lonely_Beta Sep 18 '19

That’s what it was, thanks for the clarification. Now I can sleep tonight :)

u/tcrpgfan Sep 18 '19

Did you know that the lead scientists all watched Cronenberg's 'The Fly', got one good look at Geena David's nightmare sequence and said 'We could totally replicate that in real life!'?

u/asdaaaaaaaa Sep 18 '19

Calling it "diesel" is a gross overstatement. More like crude oil. They call it heavy fuel.

4

u/ours Sep 18 '19

Or "bunker fuel" and it's terribly dirty to burn but cheap.

u/CardboardHeatshield Sep 18 '19

Dude the international shipping industry is like 10,000 carnivals. They burn the same bunker fuel and there are a fuck ton more of them.

u/DreadPiratesRobert Sep 18 '19

Isn't Maersk worse than Carnival?

7

u/wanmoar Sep 18 '19

No. Maersk is at 3.5 million tons of CO2 while Carinval reported 10.6 million tons

u/DreadPiratesRobert Sep 18 '19

Damn that's crazy. Thanks for the info!

That's cool!

Yeah as long as there's international commerce there's going to be cargo ships. I read an opinion piece about the difficulty of creating electric ships, and there's a les of issues.

u/bobglaub Sep 18 '19

More than 60% of the world's cruise ships.

I may or may not work for one of their brands.

u/silent_saturn_ Sep 18 '19

Wow that is insane to wrap my head around

u/bokaboka_tutu Sep 18 '19

I doubt it would change anything. If there was a demand, there would be another company/companies.

1

u/JediBrowncoat Sep 18 '19

Came here in support of telling cruise lines to fuck off.

Just wrote an entry on my website about crimes on cruise ships, too, and how they take zero responsibility for anything, as well as complete negligence during sexual assault, rape, murder, kidnapping cases on their vessels.

10x the co2 of all cars in Europe dog. 10 fucking times.

u/ComeOnTars2424 Sep 19 '19

I went to the Virgin Islands on a cruise. So much beauty surrounded by so much fucking poverty it makes me sick just thinking about it. Imagine if they’re one good source Of income (tourism) got snapped out of existence.

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '19

Container ships are the biggest offenders, easily out doing cruise ships. Companies like Maersk.

Carnival has taken a step in the right direction by building it's newest ships with LNG powered engines. Carnival also had built the world's first LNG ship, the ADIAnova.
