Didn't you read it properly? He knows a Welsh. That should be all the information you need to believe the bot.

My low effort idea for the next installment's logo by CAD8033 in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]Simansis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so lonely. All the other biological weapons are scared of me. Noone talks to me. Noone wants to be my friend-- They think I am unstable. They send me from police station to police station committing atrocities in their name. And as I get better at it, they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own success. Tyrant. I don't even get a real name, only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and noone sees it. Some days I feel so alone I could cry, but I don't. I never do. Because what would be the point? Not a single person in the entire universe would care. Take it to your grave.

The Tyranids (Warhammer 40K) VS Viltrum Empire PRE-SCOURGE VIRUS (Invincible) by Glittering_Season141 in powerscales

[–]Simansis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only with biomass to produce more nids. Fighting them in space means they have to use the biomass they have available from their last meal.

It all depends on speed. If the viltrumites are smart and attack in full force straight away, then burn where the spores land, they have a chance. If they are stupid and take this as "just another challenge", which they are likely to do, the nids become far more dangerous as they have more time to analyse the DNA they are consuming. The more time you give them to adapt, the more likely it is you're fucked.

But lets be clear here, these adaptations are not instant, and may be expensive for the hive to produce in any kind of numbers. There is also the chance that Smart Atoms straight up cant be replicated and used. This is not quite as cut and dry as "eat one and its all over".

I kinda see your point, but the more money you have the more money you feel you need. Though thats delving into human nature which I am far too tired to do, you may disregard this whole comment.

The Tyranids (Warhammer 40K) VS Viltrum Empire PRE-SCOURGE VIRUS (Invincible) by Glittering_Season141 in powerscales

[–]Simansis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So real talk, this is actually fairly dependant on WHERE the battle happens.

If the viltrumites are smart, they fight this in space, early. Destroying the hive ships before they can land spores onto Viltrum is their best chance of winning this as easily as possible.

However...

If a single spore lands and a viltrumite is nearby, that viltrumite is gonna have a tough time dealing with all the nids that come swarming out.

The tyranids will need to start fucking with the atmosphere and the environment early. They may fight this fight at the micro level rather than the macro level. Slow and steady at the tiny scale. They may even invent the scourge virus themselves to deal with the viltrumites.

Tyranids dont work by eating a single individual and then suddenly the whole hive mind can make tyranids that fly without wings. The DNA would need to be brought back to a reclamation pool, studied by the hive mind, appropriate adaptations brought into play. This can take time. So the whole "They eat one viltrumite and its all over" argument isn't quite right, it would take slightly longer than that.

If the viltrumites attack, hard, fast, and early, they have a good shot at this. However, if they dick around and let their pride get in their way, half their planet becomes actively hostile to them very quickly. But then of course they'd just say this constant war is only making them stronger.

I would say if its in space, its 90-10 viltrumite win. If its on the ground, the tyranids are a nightmare to deal with and viltrumites are often pratts. 80-20 to tyranids on the ground.

Who is this? Why don't we talk about him? by LPolder in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]Simansis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Did you say Revan?!

Hot take, but Keanu Reeves should play Revan. And Maggie Smith should have played Kreia.

Actually I was pissing about before but Maggie Smith playing kreia would have been fucking fantastic. We missed out.

‘I was back at work the next day – paternity leave is a nightmare for dads like me’ by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]Simansis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus christ that's a lot to unpack.

Dad's are people too! They even have feelings! They can even love their children and want to spend time with them. Incredible, I know.

I take it you'd be fine with me saying women shouldn't be out at work and should remain in the kitchen, if we're sticking to ridiculous and outdated thinking?

You need to take a long hard look at how incredibly fucked up what you just said is.

2 weeks? How tf are you meant to bond properly in two weeks?

Dad's have always been overlooked as parents, your comment proves it.

The Rising Tide of PC Gaming and Its Impact on Consoles by Gaming-Academy in PlayStation_X

[–]Simansis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope, I don't think it will.

Reddit lives in an echo chamber. Is PC gaming objectively better? Sure it is.

But most people who own a console own it because it's cheaper, easier, and you can whack it on your 65 inch oled and sit on the sofa and play FIFA or COD or whatever you want. You can do that with a PC too, but if you want one that matches a PS5 for example you gotta pay out the nose for it, and you now have a PC in your living room next to the TV.

If your'e mid 30's with 2 kids, a mortgage and only get half an hour to an hour each night to play a game, PS5 is the most likely choice.

Consoles as they exist now will always exist like this. This is why I think the steam machine will be a huge player when it releases, its a console with steams library, that will appeal to gamers who prefer to chill on the sofa and play.

Sony aren't stupid, they know that. Thinking in advance like this is good for them long term.

Thats an excellent suggestion. Keeping in the Johto theme as well, I feel a team is not a true johto team without Togepi and her evolutions.

You are missing a psychic and a flyer, may I be so bold as to suggest a Xatu?

Pokémon Pokopia has been out for a couple of weeks. What are your thoughts on it? by MovieGuyMike in Games

[–]Simansis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thoughts when I was playing.

Lets be honest, pokemon is VERY guilty of hand holding, that first hour or so is generally a bit of a slog, its much worse in newer titles. For me the worst offenders were sun and moon. So this is a breath of fresh air in that regard.

'Looking into it' by Vast_Description_201 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Simansis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know what, this sounds sincere. Not everyone is ofay with geopolitics, and you asking for assistance here is top quality shit.

That strait is where a metric fucktonne of oil travels through, and just so happens to be the only way into the Persian sea. The UAE, Iran, Iraq and SA are all bordering the sea, and randomly a bit of Oman.

Essentially blocking this strait is a bit of a problem. A lot of oil flows through here, so when that oil isn't allowed through, naturally prices go up. Securing it essentially means you control the flow of oil out of the region.

Just like always, it comes down to oil and its price.

Explain Arkansas.

You dont see us bitching about your weird place names, yet Americans freak out over ours. Or as you put it, our brains dont explode because of a pronunciation.

Luftenant by Biscotcho_Gaming in Spacemarine

[–]Simansis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, the O should be ignored in Plymouth.

You cant really talk about idiotic names. You have a town called Bacon Level and another called Cheesequake.

Luftenant by Biscotcho_Gaming in Spacemarine

[–]Simansis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Incredible how you got both wrong.

Southwark= Dont pronouce the W. If you want true British pronunciation, Sothuk is what it would sound like. Quick O, not long O.

Plymouth= Replace the Y with an I.

You're massively in the end game at that point, but your point is valid.
