Well, she is a spider and is not, the game is playing with the fact the giant spiders in Tolkien are sentient cause they are descended from Ungoliante, who was a godlike being who was not a literal spider. Normally they show her in spider form initially and then she switches to talk with Talion, so its not like they are ignoring it, i think it helps get across she is just not a mindless beast.

Also the way they show her after Sauron betrays her looking half spider half human is cool as gently caress

If you're gonna be a loving sperg can you at least spell Ungoliant correctly?

WoodrowSkillson posted:

The game gives a decent reason for it. I literally just made a post on it in the game's thread.

The game posits Sauron, recognizing her power (which is mentioned in Tolkien, he derides her and calls her his "cat" cause he tosses her orcs that displease him), strikes up a formal alliance/relationship in the style of Morgoth and Ungoliante. He then betrays her when the Numenoreans come in the second age to save his own skin, same way Morgoth betrays Ungoliante and renegs on his deal.

She got out of her comfort zone and got burned hard for it, and is willing to gently caress him over again in revenge, along with the fact she likes things as they were. She would also use the human form around Talion to help him trust her.

This even fits with LOTR, since she would 100% go for the One Ring if it came into her lair, and would not expect a hobbit to have an elven sword. So she goes "oh gently caress this poo poo" and leaves to lick her wounds, again.


Literally none of that wouldn't be improved by a giant talking spider doing it

"MAKE SHELOB SPIDER AGAIN" sounds bizarre enough to be a US 2020 election campaign slogan, because let's be honest: if we think poo poo's weird now just wait until the year 20-loving-20.

So on the subject of bugs: does anyone know the context of the "Dreamcast filled with bugs" story from some Secret Santa (YOSPOS) a while back? I remember it vaguely but don't remember the context at all besides "I guess some goon sent another a Dreamcast full of mealworms or something."

'Bug' is officially used to refer to a subset of beetles I think, otherwise in common use it's a catch-all for any annoying small arthropod.

AVClub published an article about @dril who was spawned from FYAD.

https://www.avclub.com/following-dril-the-twitter-account-at-the-end-of-the-w-1819327846

quote:

It’s fitting, then, that no one knows who Dril actually is. Like a lot of the figures from the collective dubbed, in the platform’s early days, as “Weird Twitter,” he originated on Something Awful, the primarily video game-focused forum full of acerbic smartasses that became a culture unto itself. It was there, in the site’s FYAD (gently caress You And Die) thread, that its most elite wits sparred with scorched-earth, race-to-the-bottom inside jokes, each more subversive than the last. Today, whenever you see someone intentionally using too many commas (“Well ,,,,”), they are doing a pale, decade-old imitation of that forum’s sense of humor. It’s where Dril was born, originally posting under the name “gigantic drill.” And as that forum’s exclusivity slowly disintegrated, Dril migrated, along with some of the site’s other luminaries, to Twitter.

That and the the whole thing started with lowtax leaving planetquake or whatever to write mostly pc game-based humor. Well, games and ambien-based humor.

And it's still difficult to keep game chat from invading other serious internet business here on these forums so much so that they had to create imp zone as a compromise.
