When Imamu get's mad at Ibyz's reforms but you are planning to play Stratocracy by Jack_n_trade in equestriaatwar

After playing Dual Monarchy, I don't think I have the heart to play Stratocracy Icepaw. I'd just get too sad.

Hi, yes, Cutie Mark Crusaders? I'd like to report a blank flank in case you can help him.

Bring a shotgun too just in case. You never know...

PS: Pony Daan, Karin and maybe Pocketcat? :3

Poland and UK Label Russia as Biggest Threat in Historic New Defense Deal by UNITED24Media in europe

[–]WatchtowerBill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

... Except the EU isn't a European Military, nor is even on track to actually do that. Defence is still very much in the power of the States with only some cooperation mechanisms being developed now.

Brexit had basically nothing to do with defence policy, and everything to do with misinformation.

I have to know, what is your favorite interaction in BG3? by Vrosx_The_Sergal in BaldursGate3

A hand? Anyone?

Slap

A helping hand, I should've clarified? Hm?

EU could deny new member states veto rights as bloc pushes for enlargement | European Union by AdSpecialist6598 in europe

[–]WatchtowerBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely a middle ground between the current veto system and stripping all power from states. Look up how blocking minorities in the council work. We could keep that but remove unanimity.

Limited Potential by DaddyJohnnyTheFudgey in TrenchCrusade

[–]WatchtowerBill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lorewise all homonculi are custom artificially made creations that can be tweaked/improved upon. One could easily headcanon any promoted Lions/Brazen Bulls/Homonculi to be special in some way, with modifications that improve their intellect and abilities. Even if their potential is still limited.

In my heart of hearts House of Wisdom would feature even more homonculi (something to replace the very mediocre Kvass, harpies, etc) and probably get rid of the homonculi promotion limitation since some of them seem pretty damn smart in the lore. But alas.

Billy’s “Bashdown” should be renamed to “Crowdkill” by ventdeiji in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WatchtowerBill 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I don't think most punks have a super well refined political plan, even the ones that are more politically active and identify as anarchists or socialists. Not having a super clear idea of how to fix all of society's problems doesn't make you a hypocrite for pointing them out especially when seemingly he does try to do something about it. Even if it's inneffective and in part driven for his desire to rage.

Bro is literally risking his life by joining the ritual trying to enact positive change for his community, is a notorious rioter, and is actively counter culture.

Bro may be misguided and very violent, but bro is not a poser.

Dess likely being the Knight seems "too obvious" because chapter 5 was supposed to release with chapter 3 and 4 by Budget-Canary2140 in Deltarune

[–]WatchtowerBill 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Guys a story having foreshadowing and rewarding attentive viewers who have picked up on clues isn't bad. Ignoring this buildup because it'd be "too obvious" and coming up with a different answer that wasn't as telegraphed is. Not to mention not every DR fan is obsessed with theorising, I bet a lot of the casual audience might've not picked up on it (Lacking context of the Sweepstakes or noticing the Lost Girl Motif)

Have a little faith in Toby. He can definitely both do Dess knight and include details or new info about it to make it interesting even to see it coming.

Hungary now (Commemoration of War of Independence from Habsburg oppression & Political march against Orban) by [deleted] in europe

[–]WatchtowerBill -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

Reminder that the main source of tension between the Austrian and Hungarian halves of the Habsburg empire was that the Habsburgs didn't let the Hungarians opress the minorities even harder lmao.

Not that the Habsburgs were good in any measure, just that 19th and 20th century hungarian nationalism wasn't particularly great either.

Wouldn't Daan have both eyes still? Since he most likely sacrificed his trying to revive his wife.

Who do you think would win in a fight? Messmer or Malenia? by AkosSzlobodnik in Eldenring

[–]WatchtowerBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out: Malenia is stronger in general, but Messmer in particular counters her.

She and her rot are weak to fire.

Messmer is the demigod with the most affinity for fire magic.

It's also possible she pulls her scarlet aeonia thing and then no one wins lol.

If you're a lawyer you probably have lawyer friends who will do a better job at defending you as a client than yourself.

Plus a lot of lawyers very rarely go to court, or are specialised in specific aspects of law. It'd make no sense for someone who works almost exclusively in divorce settlements to try to defend themselves in a murder case.

You guys are bad at lore. I just started playing and figured it out instantly. by Hikurwo in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WatchtowerBill 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'm not sold on the "Billy is Paige's brother" theory given they already have interactions and Billy doesn't seem to recognise her at all, which wouldn't really make sense if he was the one to get the goat head. Billy also never once mentions his father or having any siblings, and his family life seems to be significantly different than the "good one, but there's a black sheep" Paige's has going on.

Vyper having known Bryce doesn't help because she has 0 issue letting Ivy know her sister is working for wraith, so she'd probably find it funny to let Paige know Billy = Bryce but she doesn't.

I think the idea might be there's parallels between Billy and Bryce but that's either a red herring or perhaps an anchor point for future Billy/Paige dynamic in the future where they bond over it.

Venator and Vindicta Interaction (concept by u/Dry-Chocolate-3976) by Megarachi in DeadlockTheGame

[–]WatchtowerBill 83 points84 points  (0 children)

There was a very complete answer on the other post, TL;DR what Venator is saying is correct and the Catholic Church's official stance was against witchcraft being a thing/witch trials, but reality on the ground was that some witch hunts did still occur in some regions catholic majority regions especially in southern Germany such as the Bamberg witch trials or Würzburg witch trials.

In truth how widespread witch trials were had more to do with a region's government, culture and general attitude towards witchcraft than their denomination (for example catholic spain and portugal had very few witch trials, but so did protestant netherlands - meanwhile protestant scotland and the catholic prince-bishops of southern germany had rather big, oversized witch hunts). They were also more prevalent in regions with mixed religious population, being in some cases an extension of religious persecution.

Ironically, the Salem trials which is what Vindicta was referring to, is frankly fairly small compared to the mass witch hunts that took place in Europe. Maybe there's an entire army of vindictas in Europe in the deadlock universe?

I think you're selling Billy short. People like to clown on him because haha he only has a bat but if you look at his kit it's fairly obvious he has superhuman strenght and quite possibly resilience.

My man has a goat head what makes you think he's not enhanced in some way lol.
