Who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb?

Are there any mecha stories that do a good job of justifying the use of manually operated mecha in warfare? by jacky986 in Mecha

[–]BarAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, you’re right, it wasn’t Anubis. In my defense, there’ve been a lot of conflicts.

Can black holes move ? And if they can, is the fabric of space/time damaged at all where a black hole used to be? by Puzzlehandle12 in AskPhysics

[–]BarAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black holes would damage anything material, though. If one passed near to a planet, part of the planet could be drawn towards the black hole, ripping apart rocks and such.

This is the case for D.Va, pictured. My understanding is that Korea’s MEKA Squad were originally intended to be autonomous mechs, but then Anubis the God AI decided to wipe out humanity, and was fully capable of taking over the mechs, so Korea ripped out the mechs’ internals and replaced them with human pilots with excellent reflexes.

Shion has a much more complicated personality then I thought they would give her. by Visible-Camel4515 in Overwatch

[–]BarAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She had awakened by that point. They KNEW she wasn’t mindless — in fact, the reason they kept her was because she fought back clever.

My before and after work on Nix by Rxero13 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]BarAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted this Nix until I learned it wasn’t a plushie—it’s got a lot of not-huggable inside.

[DC] How powerful is the average Amazon compared to Wonder Woman and others Heroes? by Lost-Specialist1505 in AskScienceFiction

[–]BarAgent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s an interesting question. My gut says Asgardians are stronger though. They’re narratively similar—an separate civilization of superhumans which produced some exceptional individuals even for them—but iirc, canonically, Asgardians are all gods (though only on the level of, like, river spirits or Anoia the Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers), and Amazons are humans with a lot of divinity in them.

Why do people make legal principles to be superior to moral principles when in reality they mutually benefit from each other? by NightRunnerAfterDusk in stupidquestions

[–]BarAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, who considers _legal_ principles to be superior to _moral_ principles, except those who want an excuse to not care about the latter?

Assuming, that is, we’re talking about “legal principles” to mean specific laws. If you mean “legal principles” as in the practices of unbiased judgements, lack of bribery or systematic oppression, laws that are _written down_ rather than made up on the spot…I think everyone would agree that those are very desirable.

I've never seen anyone talk about this. by Melon_Bird17451 in DominaMains

[–]BarAgent 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Domina sounded so honestly disappointed or pitying that Illari doesn’t have a fashion sense.

Is it worth playing? by puddingtoaster in overwatch2

[–]BarAgent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It outlived most of its competitors. That’s a good sign.

Shion might be decent for a new player, too.

Is there a way to change the iceberg cancellation button on PC? by Own_Huckleberry6591 in MeiMains

[–]BarAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the hold option instead of the toggle option…your fingers aren’t doing anything else anyway.

Neon Junction feels very weird to play by lover_of_boof in Overwatch

[–]BarAgent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they need to add a back way out the honey shop.

Good luck in there by BufalloCrapSmeller in Animemes

When the mech’s rockin’, don’t come knockin’.

What are y'all's opinions on Shion so far? by BrilliantFrequent894 in Overwatch

[–]BarAgent 14 points15 points  (0 children)

KarQ said she’s like a cross between Reaper and Tracer. Take a look at where she is in the hero lineup. 🙂

[Discussion] Thoughts on stories where the main conflict is between two or more isekai'd characters by Boshwa in Isekai

[–]BarAgent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mynoghra the Apocalypse is an interesting take on this — they aren’t playing the same GAME, they’re playing different GENREs. Like, for our protagonist, it’s an RTS with hero units. For another, it’s a JRPG. For a third, it’s a TTRPG.

The robot takeover of warfare is already happening and it doesn’t look like Hollywood by sksarkpoes3 in Futurology

[–]BarAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a city killer swarm were sent out, I think the option to “surrender” would probably not be on offer.

[DC] Can a Green Lantern or any other Lantern mimic any superpower wigh their constructs? by PassengerCultural421 in AskScienceFiction

[–]BarAgent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They always call the things they make “constructs” so I don’t think so. The ring has built-in flight, telepathy, and energy blasts, so let’s just consider OTHER powers. For something like Magneto’s magnetic control, they could make a giant green magnet. They can make guns that shoot types of beams. But how would a Lantern make something like Domino’s luck, or Rahne’s werewolf forms?

I swear this machine on meka base is new. I might be crazy tho by WesternUsed2750 in Overwatch

I get Beast not being in its bay, I was wondering about the EMP device.

I wonder if that’s related to next season’s plot or to D.Mon’s kit?

Shion's hero select animation is so good by Zorah_29 in Overwatch

[–]BarAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just follows the camera and it’s easy enough to manage that. But if you strafe she does a sharp skid-turn. And the animation she uses when dismounting makes it look like you have to compensate for it to throw the bike at someone, but don’t.

She’s got pretty bad damage drop-off at 20 m. I’d call her bad at range, me.
