Then the artifact what?

[–] Thief@lemmy.myserv.one 28 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I always wondered why there are weapons and health packs lying around in unexplored caves.

[–] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 hours ago

I wondered the same about underground candles that are always lit?

Then I found out it’s cannon in doom

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

because people already took all the weapons and health packs that were in the explored caves

[–] JCpac@lemmy.today 23 points 23 hours ago

I want to argue with this, but it makes too much sense

that's how you prepare an expression. she's a professional

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

the first Lara was unapologetically an asshole. she lived in a mansion that most world leaders can't have in their dreams. it's not like she was stealing out of necessity. she had a fucking butler and still went out to disturb world heritage sites and steal or destroy everything in them. just for fun.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 16 points 13 hours ago

Well she is British...

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

well she is the tomb raider

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago

A farting butler that could be locked in the pantry

Fake! You don't get the shotgun until two levels later!

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I know you're joking but thanks to the Internet, I can confirm you do get the shotgun in the lost valley stage where dinosaurs are found. Now that I read up on it, the funniest part to me is that this meme might have actually chose a shotgun for that reason, especially since apparently you can totally take on a T-Rex with a shotgun.

The meme chose the shotgun because that's what is used in the original, from Hot Fuzz

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Happy coincidences.

Also, this is how I find out my IP is also banned by know your meme.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why wouldn't you be able to take on a T-Rex with a shotgun? It's not like it has metal armor or lacks vital organs.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 13 hours ago

You can take it on with the basic pistols if you like. Plenty of spots to stand and shoot from safely.

We don't know the density or hardness of trex flesh

She's an old school Archeologist(read: basically a fancy thief), not a Zoologist/Paleontologist.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

For a regular person, maybe, but archeologists deal with dinosaur stuff all the time.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Dinosaurs belong in a museum!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Bro, she had to kill live dinosaurs underground lol... We're not talking bones or fossils here.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

The objects uncovered by archeologists are sometimes remarkably well-preserved. A joyous event for every scientist!

No, but there was the bit that you missed where I distracted him with the cuddly monkey then I said "play time's over" and I hit him in the head with the peace lily.

[–] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

To be fair, it's self defense. There is no way to de-agro the T-Rex or raptors.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this the plot of the new Jurassic World movie?

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Lara Croft was still better than Rebirth.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It can't be worse than those Chris Pratt ones, can it?

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I watched it. It's worse. There were too many side stories and none of them really fit together.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 10 hours ago

It's got Gareth Edwards on board at least. I'll probably give it a watch at some point just for that. Plus action hero Chris Pratt is the worst Chris Pratt. I liked him better when he was fat.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone more out of their depth than Colin Trevorrow. A real shame that, because I actually enjoyed Safety Not Guaranteed.
