[Videogame Trope] The best thing you can do is fail an objective or do nothing

Intro sequence (Batman: Arkham Knight): In the intro of the game, you play as Officer Owens going about his day when Scarecrow attacks the city with his fear gas. Suddenly all the patrons of the diner you are in will turn into aggresive ghouls, and you can shoot them to defend yourself. Of course, this is all an hallucination caused by the gas, and in reality you are killing innocent people who are also suffering the effects of the gas. Later in the game, you see Owens in a cell, recovering from the gas. If you shot anyone in the diner, the other cops will comment he will likely lose his badge. Plus he will live with the burden of having taken innocent lives. However, if you don't shoot or fail to hit anyone, they will comment that Owens was lucky nobody was killed.

Sinnerman (Cyberpunk): In this mission you are hired by Bill Jablonsky, a grieving man, to ambush the convoy in which Joshua Stephenson, who murdered his wife, is being transported. This results in Bill dying, and Joshua offering you the chance to help in his redemption. Said redemption consists in him recording a braindance of himself being crucified, which will then be sold in hopes that other people will get to experience the pain of Jesus on the cross and convert to Christianity.

Now, this is a situation where most options are ugly. On one hand, Joshua is clearly mentally ill, and rather than attoning by being a better person, he has chosen to turn himself into a martyr. It's the same narcissistic personality that motivated his murders, but now misdirected in a way that looks like redemption to him. On the other hand, the company that will record and distribute the braindance is scummy, as they only care about the profit they will make by exploiting Joshua's mental illness. If they succeed, Joshua's death will simply be sold as an extreme experience for people to stimulate their numbed brains, and any message of convertion will be lost.

The best ending is really to fail the car chase at the beginning, which will cause Bill to get mad, but he will live and you never get involved in the rest of the mission. Or alternatively, if you fail to reinforce Joshua's faith, it will make the braindance less authentic and ultimately a failure, meaning that the company will not make any profit with it.

Birth of the Conservation Movement (Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare): In this side mission of the Undead Nightmare DLC, you are tasked with killing a group of Sasquatch living in the forest who allegedly kidnap and eat babies. After confronting the last living Sasquatch, you discover this is a lie. They are intelligent beings who can talk, and he tells you that they eat berries, not humans. You have killed the last few members of an endangered species of peaceful sapient beings, and now the last of them begs to be put out of his misery rather than keep living as the last of his kind. Not engaging with this mission means the Sasquatch population can keep living in the forest. There are so few of them that they will probably go extinct anyways, but at least they will have each other.

If Mark got Eve to create more Infinity Rays and poison darts, he could pretty easily beat Thragg and the other Viltrumites on Urath

Assuming the Infinity Ray works within the laws of physics and Eve is able to understand its composition. Even if that's not the case, the poison darts should be enough. They were pretty damn effective during the Viltrum battle.

These guys were easily able to knock out Komodo Dragon, who almost killed Rex, Rae, and Kate. Do you think Cecil regrets killing them?

Is it me or Walt's personality changed over the seasons?

I feel like this is a huge failure on the writer's part. They don't seem to be able to write Walt consistently each season. At first he doesn't want to kill Krazy-8, but next season he just lets Jane die? Completely out of character. It's like he's a different person by the end of the show.

Reminder that we canonically have a John Rainbow Six in the lore, who the franchise is named after

So from Theresa's perspective...

This guy she just met broke into her cabin to spy on her while she was in the pool. How does John Smythe not get security called on him?

In Dark Souls (2011), I tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter. I had to fall to lose it all. But in the end, it doesn't even matter.

If Brit and a Viltrumite made a Britumite, would it be the most powerful being in the Invincible universe?

Assuming they get the invulnerability from Brit, and everything else from the Viltrumite side.

God of War 2018 transitions seamlessly from gameplay to cutscenes, and has not cuts or loading screens, giving the illusion of the entire game being filmed in a single shot. To accomplish this, Kratos had to hold in his pee for most of the game.

Characters who, blinded by rage, killed someone and lived to regret it

Kratos (God of War): The first example that comes to mind. Kratos kills his wife and daughter while blindly massacring a village under Ares' orders. They had been put there by Ares, who believed they were the only thing keeping Kratos from becoming the ultimate warrior, and killing them would strip him of his last bit of humanity. It's the inciting incident that sets Kratos in his quest for revenge against Ares, and later the entire Greek pantheon.

Powerplex (Invincible): Powerplex and his wife stage a hostage situation to lure out and kill Invincible. During the fight, Powerplex gets so tilted he recklessly uses his power near his wife and son, instanlty killing them both.

Walter White (Breaking Bad): After Walt kills Gus, and most of his men are arrested, he is paranoid that they will rat him out to the DEA. He tries to get the list of names from Mike to put out a hit on them, but he refuses and instead berates Walt for having ruined what they had going with Gus due to his pride and ego. Walt grabs a gun, and shoots Mike while he is ditracted. As Mike sits dying by a pond, Walt realizes he could have gotten the list from Lydia instead. While it's debatable how much the death affected Walt, since he was so far gone at this point, he clearly shows regret and shock by his own actions while he waits for Mike to bleed out.

Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan (IRL Painting): It's widely believed that Ivan the Terrible killed his son Ivan Ivanovich in a fit of rage by dealing a fatal blow to his head. The moment was famously captured in a painting by Ilya Repin, showing Ivan holding his son in deep sorrow and regret. It's worth noting that it was painted centuries after the real event, so it's not a first hand account, just an interpretation of how events might have unfolded.

You know who would have been a perfect elite for Maverick?

Edward Kenway. They have the Black Flag remake coming out, it was the perfect time to release it now.

Which Isotope design do you prefer? Maybe it's just that I'm more used to his show design, but I feel like he got a glow up.
