The sun rises and you walk into your apartment wearing the same clothes you had on the night before. Your roommate asks"Netflix and chill?". You nod. "How was it?", they ask. "It...it...was earth shattering" you reply with the face of someone who genuinely feels like life will never be the same. "Holy shit! Was the sex that good?!?" asks you roommate. As you shake your head you answer, "no sex". Bewildered your roommate asks, "No sex?!? Then what the hell did you guys do all night that's left you like this?". In a distant voice you say, "we binged Arcane".

Do you need to know anything about League of Legends for Arcane?

[-] lemmyseikai@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago

No. It's beautiful all on its own.

[-] Renacles@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Not at all, LoL's lore gets retconned so often that Arcane is basically it's own thing but with borrowed ideas.

Nope. It's great.

If you like muscly aggressive women it's AMAZING.

[-] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

Can confirm other opinions:

Did not know anything about League
Enjoyed Arcane

The game and the show aren't really related at all. AFAIK, if you've played the game, you just get to be like "Oh hey that's one of the characters you can choose" once in awhile... But there's no overlapping plot or anything.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

It has overlapping plot in the same way Overwatch does. Technically the characters all have backgrounds, and that's what Arcane shows some of. The game may use that to give character to the heroes, but the game itself doesn't really add anything to it. The game is probably improved by the existence of the show (I assume, I never cared for it I'm general), but the show really doesn't depend on the game.

(Technically I think there are multiple games in this universe now. I can't tell you much more, but I think there's an action game with some pirate character at least. That may have more story, but it doesn't matter for Arcane.)

I've never played the game, it was a couple episodes in that I noticed that it was based on an exiting IP rather than being completely new.

This actress is super beautiful, but in this pic she looks like Gollum.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 36 points 1 month ago

She has giant eyes. That's honestly something I really like about her, but yeah it sometimes turns into Gollum in some pictures.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Whilst I don't agree with that (but I do like ppl making weird faces, eg the sort Danielle Panabaker is constantly making), ... I almost had to check who the actress is or did just Lizzy Caplan age backwards:

Or Natalie Morales (just as an association):

[-] Demdaru@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

She switches between Gollum and pretty a lot. But I don't mind, it honestly adds to the show.

[-] Denalduh@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Stupid sexy gollum..

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 11 points 1 month ago

Honestly, that's half the vibe of character creation in Fallout games too. Perfect casting tbh

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Dude what. Still beautiful...

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 month ago

Stupid sexy Gollum.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 32 points 1 month ago

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Thats disgusting, where did you even find that? Like, which website specifically?

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Whatever you do absolutely stay clear of & never ever visit www.LordOfMyGollumsCockRing.uwu, it's just full of AI porn (but follow my socials to get a discount code).

Instead contact you local Tolkien support group (if you are not a member yet: www.TolkiensFurries.cum/about/locatons).

I don't see the problem, you just have sex while watching a show!

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 24 points 1 month ago

Doggy style so you can both face the TV.

[-] CallMeButtLove@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago

So we can both watch X-Files

[-] TinklesMcPoo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

After all, you and me baby? Ain't nothin' but mammals.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 month ago

Blah blah Discovery Channel

So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

This performance is all over the place, let's start it over from the top:

Haha, well now, we call this the act of mating. But there are several other very important differences between human beings and animals that you should know about.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago

Un tss un tss…

[-] Drz@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

I'd appreciate your input

Or of course the WoW parody:

Haha, well now, we call this the act of gaming. But there are several other very important differences between real people and pixels that you should know about.

Yes I'm Siskel yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up

For people who have watched the show is it good or bad ?

I don't know if I want to watch it

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I've played every fallout including Tactics. I enjoy good drama. The lore blips don't really matter to me as drama is about people interacting based on their circumstances and relationships, not about whether a specific numbered year matches up to another specific numbered year in a fictional universe. For the purposes of what makes drama work I would say it was a 7/10. Maybe a 7.5 because it had cool fallout stuff in it.

It's good, but it doesn't care about the lore so people got mad for a while. Just like what bethesda does.

[-] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 21 points 1 month ago

The only lore it changes is shady sands and the year could just be a production error so there's a chance nothing got retconned at all

[-] uid0gid0@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It assumes the BoS ending from fallout 4 because the airship is named the same and power armor jetpacks.

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

power armor jetpacks

Wasn't even a jetpack (at least in the last episode), fucking Guy uses a helmet-less T-45 with IRON-MAN HAND ROCKETS

WHAT

From what I 've seen the lore is more than acceptable. If people got mad over that, they have some serious issues in their lives.

[-] moon@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 month ago

I thought it was a 8/10, and I played all the games. Lore seems accurate.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

I really enjoyed it, and I usually have a hard time getting sucked into tv shows. That said I probably only have about 15 hours across all the fallout games I've played (3,4,NV) because I get stressed out about rads and weapon decay lol

Is this why most Netflix shows suck?
