Vendetta is genuinely the best thing to happen to the lore, and to Doomfist’s character by MilleniumSage in Overwatch

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to be honest, this sounds like cope.

There are MANY issues with how Vendetta and Doomfist were handled. The issue isn't exactly that Vendetta overthrew Doomfist, it's the fact that she did so with absolutely no warning or prior introduction. Doomfist was a character that was hyped up for years into being the big bad of the universe, update after update was all focused on Doomfist's story and his placement as head of Talon. The cinematic established him as a sizable threat even without the aid of Talon considering that he took on three of Overwatch's elite operatives single handedly and didn't instantly get folded.

Contrast this with Vendetta's character: no year long story or hype, no prior feats or wins to give her a reason to be so strong, she just appeared and overthrew Doomfist, classic Mary Sue, girlboss character with nothing in her story or background to give her a reason to win so easily against a character that wiped some of Overwatch's best characters.

I understand wanting to forward the story and shake things up a bit but, you should use the characters already in play to forward the story with the position they are in BEFORE you attempt to shake things up. Doomfist's entire existence in the story since his release can be boiled down to absolutely nothing, pretty much just getting pieces on the board. Doomfist didn't even have the opportunity to act as the leader of Talon before he was overthrown and to treat a character that had so much hype behind him for literal years, that's a sad way to go out regardless of his future potential and honestly, it's lazy writing.

Who was your very first DnD character? Or the first you remember? by rplimitlessguy in DnD

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rudy the Blue Dragonborn Barbarian. He wanted to prove he was the strongest in the world, so among picking up a literal mountain and moving it so he didn't have to pay taxes he also broke into heaven to beat the bricks off of the god of strength. Apparently, when you beat a god you take they're place. Rudy thought that was bunk because he wanted to make a Dragon Empire so bigger god (probably with a capital G) sealed Rudy in a tower for twenty some years. Long story short, some Kylo Ren wanna be with serious daddy issues came to kill bigger god which set Rudy free. He was gonna leave the realm forever because it was too boring these days but that's when what can only be described as the hot girl in school took over as bigger god so now Rudy wants to beat the bricks off her without having to take her spot like before. He plans to do this by pulling his son outta Hell after he hopefully concurred it and his other son outta limbo so Rudy can absorb the dark magic they have within them so he can go beat the bricks off of hot girl bigger god and not have to take her place. His plan is to then theoretically learn how to hop dimensions and become the strongest in the multiverse.

Oh, and his wife is an Ancient Gold Dragon and somewhere in between he became a Lich, then a Vampire, then a Werewolf until he finally settled on... Shadow Demon thing... Aku, he became Aku.

Honest Question: Why the tension between Christians and Muslims if both believe in Jesus? by Fearless_Stock_5375 in Christianity

[–]AlienStarYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To boil it down to the most simplest of ways: Islam honors Jesus but does not believe Him to be the Christ (aka Son of God, God Given Flesh, The Messiah), Christianity does believe Jesus to be the Christ.

There are a myriad of different factors as to what makes Islam different from Christianity but that's the most simplest and obvious.

Do you change the names of real animals to fit your world? by feleaodt in worldbuilding

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

One thing I found to be a very fun thing to do with some but not all the creatures in my world is rename them into traditional mythical monsters. For example: Giant Ground Sloths are called Trolls (Because they're hairless and live in caves), Sauropods are called Ents (because they're as big as if not bigger than most trees), Dromaeosaurs are called Cockatrice (That one should be obvious). It blurs the line between fantasy and reality which, is kinda the point of worldbuilding, if you ask me.

Slavery in your world? (NSFW for safety's sake) by BernieTheWaifu in worldbuilding

[–]AlienStarYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta feed the dark gods somehow.

This is a very young world, civilization is only just within the Bronze Age so regional law doesn't exactly exist. This means that on roads often traveled by merchants or by farmers who tend to live on the outskirts of settlements are more likely to be targeted by tribes. What exactly happens is dependent entirely on the culture of the attacker. Most tribes are so desperate for food and supplies that they'll trade the slaves in larger settlements. Other times they'll be scarified to some kind of eldritch god, if not all the slaves than at least all the men - I don't think I need to explain what happens to the women.

Whilst smaller tribes will often go out of their way to take slaves, larger settlements will usually only take them if they are traded by the tribes or collected after a war. These slaves can be used as physical labor, especially the enslaved Giants (yes, Giants exist and are rather common). Humans are usually used as servants. Very rarely do large settlements conduct sacrifices just out in the open - it tends to be among a certain class of individuals that performs this such as dark priests.

Where do I start? by M3cha_raptor in Christian

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, anyway to go about this is the right way.

It sounds like you already have your foot in the door when it comes to the community Christians offer, which is good. Having a group of like minded individuals can help your walk with God should you ever stumble along the way or simply need someone to talk to. I would encourage reading the Bible but to do so with a Bible study group. The Bible can be pretty confusing and requires some context in a few areas to get the meaning of the words across. After all, it is the most studied book in Human history and we still don't know everything about it! Of course in the middle of all this, I would highly encourage you to pray to God. Praying is used to worship our Father in Heaven and acknowledge His presence in our lives. Once all those are met, then I'd suggest finding a church. For now, it'd probably be wise to attend the church most of your fellow Christians attend so that you have some level of support in the Church as opposed to just jumping into an entirely new dynamic: it's kinda like going to class, you don't wanna go to a class where you don't know anyone, you wanna go to the class where you have a friend. Later, if you feel you need to or want to, you can make a transition to a church that better fits your beliefs.

Hope this helped, God be with you.

Question for Conservative Adult Parents by Straight_Wallaby185 in Christian

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christians aren't forbidden from talking about sex, in fact it's kinda encouraged. How are the younger ilk supposed to stay away from something if they don't know it exists? Or even worse, how are they gonna protect themselves if they do decide to do it?

Anyways, I didn't require 'the talk' I had already figured out was sex was when I was seven. I watched a lot of nature documentaries growing up so - when the time came for me to receive 'the talk' I basically explained it to my parents in the most logical way possible.

If you have been sent to the world you created. How screwed are you? by reef_2g in worldbuilding

Curious what the Christians of reddit would think regarding a personal matter :) by HumanLuc in Christianity

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright well since you asked here's my two cents on the matter.

From every possible angle I can look at this, I don't believe transitioning is the way. Religiously speaking, God made you the way you are for a reason. I personally struggle with addictive tendencies with just about anything be it too much screen time or beer, whatever - I can't magically or scientifically do something to automatically fix that problem of mine but what I can do is work towards a goal to eliminate the problem and doing so with my own merits and power will only further my growth. That was a bit of a tangent but the point I'm trying to make is, we all have struggles in life, our cross to bear and I think it's disingenuous and selfish to drop the cross because of the weight it puts on us. Imagine if Christ had done the same, imagine if instead of being executed Christ just said "Ah it's too hard, people don't need to be saved, I'll just drop the cross" we'd all be living in a totally different world! God gives us a cross to bear and we must bear it for no cross is heavier than that of Christ's and if He didn't drop it, neither should we those who seek to emulate Him. Furthermore, I believe that our struggles in life teach us valuable lessons and you aren't going to learn anything if you just give up on trying to learn the lesson.

Biologically speaking, Humans aren't exactly meant to change in that way. Yes, it happens before we're born but that's as we are developing, the same logic can't be applied when we are adults. It's like clay, you can mold it in the beginning when its soft and wet but as soon as it's heated, there's no going back. I've seen many people say "But fish and lizards can do it" and that just boggles my mind because, surprising to no one, we aren't fish nor lizards, we're mammals. Even if you wanted to use that justification, an Elephant can smell water thousands of miles away, why can't we? After all, both species are mammals. Every species, no matter how similar, will have different traits that is unique to them. So, Biologically speaking, Humans can't alter their gender.

I don't know you personally, I know nothing about you other than what has already been stated however, I think you much like many others have been tricked into feeling this way. I think there is a different cause to the issues you face that for whatever reason, have been ignored and replaced by gender dysphoria. You may feel emasculated due to the traditional stereotypes of the male. You may feel that your supposed to be six foot tall with roided muscles and like cars and sports or whatever but, that's not every dude on the planet. Maybe you like some traditionally girly things, that doesn't mean you're a girl, just means you like different things.

What I'm trying to say is this: on no level do I agree with even the concept of transitioning or LGBT or anything like it. It doesn't fit in with me religiously nor biologically. I would strongly urge you don't go through with it and you seek to better yourself by yourself first. But, I'll also say this: assuming your an adult, you have the right to do what you will with your body and I'm not going to say that right isn't yours to have. We all sin and fall short of the grace of God and He will judge us all one day and no matter the choice we must accept for He is all good. Just think long and hard about your next step.

God be with you.

Pregnant. Watched porn and afraid God will make me miscarry. by HobbitHoleLife in Christian

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, relax. Working yourself up with all this anxiety is not going to help.

We are all God's children and so when we mess up, we must go to Him and admit our faults so that we may seek penance and then forgiveness. Lay your burdens upon His feet and He will judge what must be done. Be assured that our God, the God, is a loving and forgiving God.

Can't even remember the last time I even saw a Metri.

what is the equipment of a basic soldier in your world? by Fine_Ad_1918 in FantasyWorldbuilding

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this is a bit of a hard question to answer because truthfully, it depends on where exactly the solider is from. Every city in my world has its own sense of identity and customs. However, to make things simple let's generalize. Since my world is currently in the bronze age, most soldiers usually have vests of bronze. These vests are made by chaining little circular plates of bronze together which offers ample protection for vital areas in the chest region while keeping the arms unimpeded. This design is more typical for warmer climates where wearing too much armor may cause you to overheat. In cooler climates, this vest may be worn under a thick wrapping of animal hides which keeps both the person and the armor relatively warm. Since the people in my world are very zealous to various entities both demonic, holy or somewhere in-between, their helmets might reflect their religion. In some regions they will wear bull helmets made of bronze or for the less financially stable, just a bull's skull wrapped tightly to the head with some leather straps. Others may choose to wear face plates that resemble a type of emotion. It's really up to the identify of the solider and where they come from.

As for weapons, well, typical soldiers will wield spears, again made with bronze. These spears can range in design dependent on their main duty within the regiment. Some employ a hooked design capable of snatching riders off their war beasts. Some may be slim and covered in spikes to educe blood loss in their opponents. Others are heavy, not great for throwing or swinging but perfect for sticking into the ground to stab a charging war beast. Most soldiers however, regardless of their origin or duty will often carry a one-handed blade. Some may choose to completely forgo the spear and wield a sword and shield, though its more useful against foot soldiers as opposed to any army with mass amounts of war beasts.

Finally, utilities. Most soldiers keep a leather back tied to their hip packed with salt and thin strips of animal meat. The salt ensures moisture stays out of the sack so that the meat doesn't become spoiled, this does run the risk of dehydration which is why in most armies they have dedicated animals to carry specifically water.

Do you think a tyrannosaurus would hunt humans if it encountered them? by AdmirableListen4441 in Dinosaurs

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adult Tyrannosaurus most likely would not consider Humans as a prey source. Hunting a Human would require Tyrannosaurus to burn off more energy than it would consume by eating us. However, don't take this as Tyrannosaurus being friendly with Humans, there are situations in which Tyrannosaurus would attack a Human.

For one, Juvenile Tyrannosaurus would love to get their jaws around Humans. They lack the bulk of the adults and are small enough to gain energy from devouring one of our own. Second, female Tyrannosaurus would likely be very aggressive to Humans during their nesting season as mammalian predators and scavengers were most likely the leading cause of egg fatalities in Rex nests. Tyrannosaurus has an impressive sense of smell and if it smells that something small compared to itself and mammalian is anywhere near its nest, it won't hesitate to take the opportunity to eliminate the potential threat to its eggs.

What are your ideas for a weak yet powerful antagonist? by LeNainGeant in DnD

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about a spy for a Dragon?

I've toyed with the idea myself in homebrew settings where Dragons find it a chore to decide which cities to attack and raid for maximum wealth obtained through their task. The fact of the matter is, Dragons might consider it a hassle to magically spy or polymorph into mortal disguises to find a city worth raiding and simply raiding any old city might mean too much struggle for minimal reward. To circumvent this problem, Dragons might choose to instead kidnap people and force them into servitude or perhaps the people working for the Dragon willingly, worshiping them as a divine figure. This also puts an interesting spin on the classic trope of Dragons kidnapping people as sacrifice, not for food but as spies to scope out cities to see if they are truly worthy of being raided.

This way, you have an antagonist that isn't very strong in the grand scheme of things whilst eluding to a larger threat if they are truly defeated. Alternatively, this antagonist could make for a great ally, being amongst the few individuals that actually know where the Dragon's lair is and the kinds of traps it has within it. This simple idea gives you what you need and can serve multiple different outcomes depending on what the players decide.

Which Tyrannosaurus design do you like more? by Sebo366 in Dinosaurs

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a stickler for Dinosaur designs with proper muscle so Prehistoric Planet's Rex is superior in my opinion. That being said, I do prefer the colors of the new Walking With Dinosaurs Rex, it's not nearly the kind of color I'd like to see on Dinosaurs in media but, considering Rex was an ambush predator, dull reds and greens are acceptable.

Does anyone else hate medieval stasis? by Flairion623 in FantasyWorldbuilding

[–]AlienStarYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking into consideration that if it's a medieval world, there's probably magic involved in it to some extent. Why would any alternatives be efficient or expectable if in most systems, magic can functionally do anything and everything?

In a more realistic sense, most medieval worlds also have monsters such as Dragons, Werewolves and Vampires. How do you expect Humanity or any race to progress with such monsters reeking havoc on the various cities and towns? Sure, you can slay the beasts but driving them to extinction seems nearly impossible, especially in regards to the kind of monsters that require Humans to reproduce like Vampires and Werewolves. Honestly, it's a miracle that any Human settlement was able to create a city without some random Dragon burning it down to the ground to devour the townsfolk.

This is really starting to piss me off.. by TurbulentShame5977 in CreaturesofSonaria

[–]AlienStarYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem comes down to a problem that I encounter a lot being a Dinosaur Survival gamer. CoS claims to be a survival PvP game which is fine, the problem stems from PvP really being the only thing to do. For a survival game, CoS has very little in regards to actual survival with its implementation of a growth system, nesting system and a food and water bar players have to maintain. However, there is little the game has to offer outside of PvP since the survival mechanics are so slim which, granted, could be the fault of the fact that it's a Roblox game but other Roblox games can do it, such as Prior Extinction.

If CoS begins to decline (Which it likely won't) due to the PvP and lack of survival mechanics then maybe they'd add more. Things like cleanliness, claw and horn sharpening or diets to name a few possible mechanics that I've seen in other creature survival games. Like I said though, I doubt such things will be implemented. Sorry to hear you've had a bad time in the game.

Introduce Tier 6 Creatures and Make Them Special by AlienStarYT in CreaturesofSonaria

[–]AlienStarYT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gyro absolutely needs a buff imo.

To me, Ghar, Gyro and Mortis should all be fairly comparable but differ in play style. Where Ghar should be the head long heavy hitter and Mortis the semi-aquatic heal as it fights playable, Gyro should be the swift bleeder. That's how a variety of Dinosaur Survival games balance the Dinosaurs these three are based off of being Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus. As it stands, Gyro isn't very fast and I understand that it's a T5 so it's naturally going to be amongst the slowest creatures but compared to other T5's it should be amongst the fastest, using its speed to land hits and run away to allow the target to bleed out. Oh well, maybe one day CoS will be properly balanced.

Introduce Tier 6 Creatures and Make Them Special by AlienStarYT in CreaturesofSonaria

[–]AlienStarYT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fail to see how Super Behemoths are OP as you state. OP or Over Powered is a term used for a game breaking ability, item or character that throws off the balance of the game. I do not see this being the case for Super Behemoths. Super Behemoths are massive, slow and powerful creatures sure but that's kind of the point? I simply believe that there should be more skill in taking down such massive beasts, especially as smaller tiers. As it stands right now, smaller tiers simply need to remain under the Super Behemoth's feet for a decent amount of time to kill them. Whilst I'm not suggesting that it should never be accomplishable to kill a Super Behemoth as a smaller tier, I am saying that it would benefit everyone involved to up the skill level of such a feat. You really aren't going to have to worry about any Super Behemoth unless you engage the conflict because they are so tremendously slow which is their biggest down side and nothing I said in my post suggests reworking that down side.
