I should not need to explain this one.

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

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days 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 2 days ago

Happy coincidences.

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

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days 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 2 days 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

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

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 57 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] JCpac@lemmy.today 23 points 2 days ago

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

[–] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

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

Then I found out it’s cannon in doom

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

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

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days 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 17 points 2 days ago

Well she is British...

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

well she is the tomb raider

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

A farting butler that could be locked in the pantry

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.

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

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Dinosaurs belong in a museum!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days ago

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

[–] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days 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 3 days ago (1 children)

Is this the plot of the new Jurassic World movie?

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lara Croft was still better than Rebirth.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days 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 2 days 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.

Then the artifact what?
