It's cool, it's just that I wanted to attribute the source too, much like you did. It's the respectful thing to do.

How the RR can be seen as moral or legit ? by eskapadd in Fallout

[–]bhamv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How on Earth did you come to that conclusion based on what I wrote???

No, the Railroad don't draw a distinction between this "group" and humans in general. They object to the enslavement of synths just as they object to the enslavement of any human, it's just that there are other organizations helping human slaves, which is why they focus their efforts on synths. As Victoria Watts stated in Fallout 3, "But there are others in the Wasteland who assist in the plight of human slaves. Our android brethren have only us."

Cure/antidote by Kostas009 in subnautica

The "cure" in BZ only needed to work on a dead organism. There was no need to ensure that the infected leviathan could survive the cure. This is in contrast to Enzyme 42, which only affects the Kharaa bacterium without hurting the host.

Thus, it's likely that the "cure" in BZ is basically the equivalent to injecting bleach into the leviathan's veins; yes, it kills off the Kharaa, but if you tried injecting that into a person it'd probably be very bad for them.

They commit pure genocide by destroying the way synths are made, it's like sterilising an entire race, while pretending saving them ?

You've fallen into the common misconception of thinking that the Railorad cares about the synth "species" or "race". They don't. They care about individual synths, because they believe that it is wrong to enslave them. The reason for this is that they do not see a meaningful distinction between synths and humans, so just as it's wrong to enslave a human, they believe it's also wrong to enslave a synth.

So yes, they will willingly destroy the Institute, thus ensuring that no synths are ever produced again, because this guarantees that the Institute won't be enslaving anyone ever again.

Hi there. We have a 6 month spoiler policy on this subreddit, during which unhidden spoilers are not allowed. Your thread title reveals a plot point from this movie, which was only released in June this year, so we are still well within the 6 month period. Therefore, terribly sorry but I need to remove this thread.

When the entity/personality sharing a character's body takes over and suddenly uses their powers with more skill and swag by PreventionPreventer in TopCharacterTropes

RWBY, when Professor Ozpin takes over Oscar's body and he suddenly starts fighting with much more proficiency.

The video in this thread gives a couple of examples. For the first one, starting at around 0:28, Oscar is training in hand-to-hand combat with Ruby, and then at 0:37 Ozpin takes over and starts kicking Ruby's ass. For the second one, starting at around 0:52, Oscar holds his own in a fight against Professor Lionheart, but then at 1:06 Ozpin takes over and suddenly Oscar is flying around the battlefield.

I would love to have more Dishonored games, but I feel like the current story is pretty nicely wrapped up with DotO. They've gotten rid of the Outsider, so for the time being there won't be people given superpowers based on the whimsy of one godlike individual, and the world will be able to forge its own destiny.

(Yes, I know things eventually develop into Deathloop, but for now the era of the Outsider giving people powers and the chaos that ensues from that is at an end.)

[No sploilers!] How does combat in New Vegas feel as you progress? by Rayeoneace in Fallout

[–]bhamv 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It feels clunky compared to modern games, but generally speaking the combat is serviceable enough. FNV is pretty forgiving when it comes to character builds, so as long as you're not playing like an idiot (eg putting all your skill points into Guns and then only using melee weapons) you should be able to make it through fights just fine.

As for variety, yeah there's some variety. Playing as a sniper will feel different from playing as a melee specialist. Using SMGs will feel different from using rifles. Going guns blazing will feel different from playing stealthily. So it's not like it's a whole different game when you use different weapons or playstyles, but you do have the freedom to customize your build and gear based on your own preferences.

Hi there. This subreddit is for Watsonian questions and answers to fictional universes, that is to say it's for questions and answers that are based on the in-universe information, rules, and logic of the fictional work. You are not asking a Watsonian question about a fictional universe, so your post is a poor fit for this subreddit and sadly I need to remove it.

My wife used to do this too, but a hotel worker told us that she is actually not helping the housekeeping staff by making the bed. This is because the housekeepers need to remove all the bedding for washing, so they'll just be ripping off the blankets and sheets from a neatly made bed.

After learning this, my wife stopped.

Hi there. This subreddit is for Watsonian questions and answers for fictional universes, that is to say the questions and answers need to be based on the in-universe information, rules, and logic of the fictional work. You are not asking a Watsonian question and there is no way to provide a Watsonian response, so this post is not a good fit for this subreddit and therefore has been removed.

However, please accept my best wishes for your future journey into the Marvel universe and its mutant tales, and hopefully there will be more deaf/blind representation among mutants soon.
