I'm still waiting for killer bees to take over the planet.

Probably play it way down the line when it's 20 bucks or whatever. I don't have a parasocial relationship with Kojima.

Yep. People can wear what they want. They're not demanding you wear it, acknowledge it or anything else.

What other observations do you have?

Did you put a postit note on your fridge reminding you to end racism?

Is it weird you didn't? Because 420 finds it weird.

The house we bought came with an absolute unit of a tom cat prowling around the property. Completely feral, but he fricked up anything that came around including raccoons. Kept his distance, but was always around. Started to leave a little food out once in a while. 4 years now and I can pet him, but only for a short time and he distances me again. Every once in a while, he'll bring something he killed up to the back porch as an offering. Killed a damn racoon once. Birds, field mice, lots of little snakes, and a possum. If you zoom in, you'll see the red stains under his chin and on his paws from a battle he had a couple weeks ago before it snowed.

He's gotten fricked up a few times. Bleeding, one ear is basically gnawed off, half his body will be red with dried blood, skin exposed missing a chunk of fur, broke his tail twice. He'll come over to get some help from me, clean him a little, then bugger off again.

He just recently got comfortable enough to chill on the porch as long as I don't move much. Tommy is the best boy. A tank of a cat. Love this dude.

3 is wife material, but I'd have to go over to 1's house just once. I hope 3 forgives me for the sake of the children.

I'd crank it to 5 if I'm home alone and 3's out shopping.

Commemorate this historic occasion with rare snowballs from the Gulf of America. Handcrafted. $500 each. Delight as you pelt your libtard woke bicurious anti-capitalist yankee neighbor with a President Trump-approved Gulf of America snowball. Embedded seashells extra. PM me.

This could be big, boys.

This was an amazing day. Adult Christmas. Been outside since midday with the family. Easily best day as a family. Melting our frozen snot bubbles now. However today happened, thanks.

6.25 inches according to my yard measure. Insane :lol:

I agree this all gets old, but it goes both ways. It's ironic this is posted in a thread sicboy intentionally created just to start shite by gaslighting. He knew what this game was going to be and knew it was going to tank because of it, but hey, gotta stir the pot. Maybe stop with the theatrics and the opposition will move on

If someone at Naughty Dog farts, you can bet dawgfan will post about it just to get a rise out of people. Look at him fly to the TLOU thread below to argue only to defend his waifu, TLOU2, move goal posts when logic is applied, just to immediately disappear the moment facts don't go his way.

Tiresome. Play whatever. Don't step on the field then get upset when the other team shows up.

Good point. A 14 yr old with a partial propoganda-driven education, gaslit by both the feds and Fireflies, should totally be given the choice to sacrifice herself under less than auspicious circumstances at best, machinations nobody explained and long-term consequences she hasn't considered.

frick Joel right in the ear. What does he know?

They get wiped in the Boston QZ. Marlene relies on smugglers to get Ellie to the meet point. The Fireflies at the Capitol building are wiped. Marlene loses most of her group escaping Boston and travelling to Salt Lake City. One moron Firefly "scientist" gets bitten by an infected monkey. Fireflies find Joel performing CPR on a young girl and their first and only reaction is to pistol whip him unconscious.

Joel was so wrong to stop them. Clearly, the Fireflies were literal saviors.

Ellie wasn’t just angry that Joel took that choice from her, she was mad he lied to her for years.

That's not what the point of the conversation was up to now. You said it was about choice.

quote:
It shouldn’t be did Joel make the right choice it’s neither (g)ave Ellie a choice

You said it. Please don't move goalposts. But, now that this point has been debunked, yeah, she was also mad because he lied to her.

So, why didn't Joel just tell her? He's in the right.
The fireflies found them. Ellie had drowned. Joel was giving CPR. They KO'd him because they're clowns. He woke up. Marlene says they're gonna kill Ellie and pull her brain from her head without her knowledge or consent. Joel decided they're incompetent monsters, he obviously cares for her and did what he had to do to save her. Easy. He lied so she wouldn't be upset things went south. Whatever. Be mad, Ellie, but you're alive. They didn't give you a choice; they didn't give Joel a choice. It is what it is. The whole premise Part 2 offers is stupid, like a bad TV episode where all the problems are because 2 people didn't have the most basic of conversations any of us have on a daily basis.

quote:
Joel even says he would do it all over again given the choice.

Because any reasonable person would have come to the same conclusion.

quote:
There was zero chance Joel would let Ellie choose to sacrifice herself.

Supposition not supported by facts, but belief. I can't address your faith-based conclusions.

re: Did Joel make the right decision at the end of last of us?

Posted by The Quiet One on 1/15/25 at 1:40 pm

I was gonna say, Joel wasn't given an opportunity to give Ellie a choice.

Fireflies KO him as he was doing CPR on Ellie, ffs. Next thing we know, they got Ellie under the knife and tell Joel to kick rocks or they'll kill him.

Revisionist history to argue Joel did something against Ellie's wishes. That's what makes Part 2 so stupid. They never address it and just pretend Joel was just as wrong as the Fireflies without explaining how. Maddening.
