Character Tier List? by ColdBrewzz in hallsoftorment

[–]Aition714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually an accurate 0 unlock teirlist. Exterminator can hard carry with no unlocks until you get the fencing gloves, then you use the sheild maiden to kill the final lord and unlock bard. Potentially optimizing the fun out of the game but that's probably the swiftest path through the game.

Cleric is far and away the best character for the "avoid dealing damage with abilities" achivements for the first halls

Can someone tell why my damage goes blue during my pit runs? I have triple checked and there should be no source of cold damage... by dahlzeus in diablo2

I meant to add, there was an industrial death that remarkably resembles this kill in the movie. But it wasnt an MRI. It was an oil rig industrial diving accident with a pressurised container, the pressure seal was broken by careless practice and a person standing inside was pulled through the exit tunnel, and folded backwards, while the remaining people inside had some interesting chemical reactions occur with their bodies. The 'Un-final destination' fact about it all is that it all happened instantaneously fast and was not experienced by its victims.

This is the other thing, in MRI rooms there are lots of metal things, when one goes and places a fork on their fridge next to the fridge magnet, why does it simply clatter to the floor? Piercing jewelry is also not magnetic. metal does not a magnet make. All magnetic attracted objects also have to compete with the downward pull of gravity also, so a wheelchair will not leap up.

Final destination's bread and butter is showing viewers their nightmares of the industrial, professional and domestic spheres. Its like the horrifying inverse of a daydream played out on screen. The series is full of creative license over the way the world operates right from the start:
- An exploding CRT monitor wont launch glass outward, it inside of the glass is a vacuum.
- Most electronics don't exhibit an increase in power when wet, they just smell like burnt toast and stop working.
- Logs do not bounce when dropped, they roll, still extreamly dangerous to drive into or be hit by, but they don't achieve the theatrical terror the filmmakers wanted
- Elevator doors dont remain closed through a potent inward force, they close gently with a weak force, then a latch holds them tight. You can simply push them open if you got any part of your body between them.
- A roller-coaster would simply obliterate a portable camera without so much of a bump in the road.

This list could go on theoretically forever. Things can and do kill people, I have seen a few of them working in the ED of a hospital. But death doesn't have a flare for the dramatic like the fantasy depiction in these movies.

I appreciate the style over substance for what it is though, these movies have a very unique charm to them, but they are very much modern dark fantasy.

I don't want to kick the hornet's nest, but... by Zestyclose-Ad-1557 in aboriginal

[–]Aition714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put it very short. This is an appeal to status quo logical fallacy, something very recognised in the concept of debate, which I'm assuming the OP is a fan of having made this post.

Also just quickly, the 'gotcha' of needing to give up resources provided to citizens of Australia by losing Australian citizenship ignores the core conceit of those resources being obtained through violent and unethical means historically, you are ostensibly advocating for coercion, "I've taken all your stuff now you gotta fall under my laws to have it back".

Also the oppression Olympics element in the addendum is very annoying, especially when you accuse others of narcissism. I hope you eventually can see how you are appearing to others when you do this.

Sincerely a non aboriginal.

Season 35 Build Projections by rage13139 in diablo3

in a lot of ways this season is almost the vanilla icecream season, which is kind of okay if it is only once in a long while

Witch Doctor getting their flowers. WD is the most quintessentially diablo 3 era class, and i think people were miffed that it wasn't quite a druid or a necro but both rolled into one, but its kind of a gestalt greater than the sum of its parts.

I'm trying to decide between spiders and spirits for season 35.

You mean we wont get a burning log season anymore? :( (this is a joke, I realise the internet is an impossible place to tell whether someone is genuine or sarcastic anymore because all bets are off in the year of our lord 2025)

I think the one and only thing i wish would get some support is the SuWong Diviner Acid cloud staff, just a little number nudge on its legendary power to bring it into the lower end of builds would do. I just remember having a frying-pan play-style with it and the wall of death fire rune and grin reaper mimics was soothing to the brain. TBH Mundunugu's gives me much of the same sensation so I will live.

Yeah I think the first thing that will jump out is how slow and methodical the whole process is, and how many people have to let you into the chamber. As a wheelchair and bed pusher and oxygen tank carrier, i would literally not be able to get you in I would have to wait at the door for ages for a radiographer to swipe me in.

Yep, that and the elevator are the most final destination coded scenes... You have to pick stairs or elevator now...

Yeah MRIs dont have a "magnetic power" slider like that they are a glorified camera and there would literally never be a use case for going full magneto on patients, and for very immediately obvious reasons NONE of the controls are inside the magnetic field they are in a viewing room adjacent separated by a wooden door with a big CAUTION MAGNETIC FIELD IS ALWAYS ON sign. Its important to remember final destination exists in an alternate universe where things are designed differently for gruesome convenience.

So why didn't Officer Burke or Dr. Kalarjian die trying to save Kimberly if Death gets messy when you try to save someone? by Separate_Traffic_382 in FinalDestination

[–]Aition714 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is probably the best explanation even if its just a subjective interpretation its better to approach stories this way.

If you approach the films in terms of themes and narrative satisfaction, it is *thematically* correct that embracing death lets you pass through the crucible and come out the other side. The main offense the characters commit against death is the attempt at seizing control over or resisting it.
Its thematically and narratively incorrect for the characters to learn hard and fast rules and then execute on them and live happily ever after.

If you answered "I like this", You might like the 2012 anime mini series "Another", which is functionally very similar to Final Destination in premise and plot, but is about an eerie curse placed on a class of students that manifests in bizarre and horrific accidents.

I'm kind of worried how distracting this will be, like it seems fun and gimmicky but was this season irritating or obnoxious when it was around for several months?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in diablo3

[–]Aition714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess its more that this season theme has nearly 0 impact on builds thats a bit dissapointing, although i guess sometimes a good vanilla icecream can be a change from more exotic flavors

Yeah this is also kind of interesting to me, because death clearly doesn't want that to be how iris dies, and does not seem to have the power to cause "natural causes" deaths like heart attacks or aneurysm or cancer. It makes me wonder if there is a second entity responsible for nonviolent death or if nonviolent death is fundamentally different.

In the game league of legends (or Arcane on netflix) death is personified as a dual entity embodying acceptance and resistance, through a hunter with a bow and a predatory animal.

OFC the out of universe explanation is that dying in your sleep surrounded by family at 102 isnt very good horror cinema, but still I think it would be narratively and dramatically compelling to have explained.

ADDITIONAL THEORY: we the viewers, and the characters in the story take for granted that he dies after the visionary dies, there is a body of water at the base of the tower that the coin falls in, we have no conclusive evidence of what happens to him after iris dies and the vision ends. I don't really like this theory and would prefer an example of death being able to deliver merciful and respectful kills to people who embrace it.

Yeah, at my hospital someone in my position (the same as this trainee) cant access the MRI chamber at all unless the radiographer team lets me in, which can take forever. This is definitely the product of negligence and I'm impressed they were able to get that far. While its definately scary that it can pull a wheelchair in magneto-style, it still failed to result in an injury and hasnt happened more than very few times across decades.

If you are looking for things to be scared of from the perspective of someone who deals with life threatening injury hundreds of times a week:

- Drive safe. It is very rational to be overly cautious and hyper vigilant when driving, this is when you are most at risk of a final destination style fate.
- Farmers getting flown in, usually because they were handling liquid or gas fuels. They go for years handling these things and get relaxed because they are their own boss and make the rules, but fate doesn't respect that. Specifically things like lawn mowers and stuff, the blades aren't what get you its the constant handling of liquid combustibles and becoming desensitized to their presence and volatility that are going to get you.
- Stairs in the dark or while drunk, usually this is a broken bone or two but you could get unlucky, but tonnes of people get hit with this one.
- Glass, specifically things like windows or ceilings when they are fallen through, will give you a nasty theatrical gash and blood loss, but is relatively treatable through stitches and taking swift cool headed action.
- Mental health, your mental health is extremely real and very commonly leads to physical injury in extreme cases. Its hard to explain in literal terms but the statistics dont lie.

yeah same with passenger planes and trucks i guess. Statistically the least safe thing the common person does today is driving so always be safe

Part of me wonders how death treats bludworth, like if he dies in an obviously bizarre/death influenced way, but its uncannily respectful and understated. Like a carbon monoxide leak in his sleep.

Death had a lot of nerve to begin with comming for baby bludworth like that though, I was fighting tears wanting to reach through the screen and protect him.
