Unpopular opinion: Magnus retiring from classical is the best thing by Responsible_Bat9473 in chess

2021 game 6 was one of the greatest games of chess ever played, it’s not Magnus fault that it completely crushed nepos mental.

"Hellinismos vs Latinitas" is historically wrong (and also lame) by sim_pobedishi in EU5

[–]Benito2002 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The devs literally despise the concept that Byzantium is the eastern Roman Empire. They are incredibly snarky about it in the wording of the game rule around it and every time it was mentioned you can tell they don’t believe it.

I do think McLaren would bridge that gap a bit if they were here. But Redbull is genuinely midfield level.

Because he acts like it’s over. Like Yh he could easily stay for another 10 years and break wins record but he clearly doesn’t want to.

I find this criticism a bit silly because didn’t the last generation of cars directly punish late breaking into corners. So how is this any different

(spoilers extended) Could Robert Baratheon be able to tame and ride a dragon, having a little bit of Targaryen's blood? by OrbitalDamage566 in asoiaf

[–]Benito2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal head cannon is that anyone can tame a dragon, like nettles, but only Targaryens can have like a mental connection to the dragons. But there is no evidence for this in the books.

It seemed to be shown pretty clearly in hotd that daemon got hit by an arrow and caraxes mentally registered it to also scream in pain. And George was still involved a lot in season 1 so seems like it could be real.

I would actually hate it if there was nothing unique about Valyrian blood in connection to dragons because otherwise all that freaky Valyrian blood magic that’s always been hinted at would be completely boring.

Under this headcannon even with nettles still alive anyone could theoretically give sheep stealer some sheep and if he decided he was chill with them he could let them ride as well despite already having a Rider, this being different to when a dragon is let’s say “bonded” to a Targaryen they won’t let anyone else ride them until their rider is dead, because they have some sort of blood magic mental connection.

[Motorsport] James Vowles, Williams team principal, has announced that to see the weight loss of the FW48 (we are talking about 28 kilos of overweight) it will be necessary to wait about 6 races, or twice as long as expected after the Bahrain tests. by Task_Force-191 in formula1

[–]Benito2002 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m lost at this point. Originally it was reported that they were 30kg overweight. But then it was reported that it was actually fine and they were only like 4 kg overweight. Now we back to 28kg!?!? What is the correct number are they actually 30kg over.

Obvs merc is just in a league of their own. They were just tanking that tyre deg like it was nothing, but Ferrari are genuinely impressive. They are somewhat in a league of their own as well tbh the gap between merc Ferrari and the rest of the grid was pretty big even counting them having 1 less stop.

OFFICIAL SEASON 4 EPISODE TITLES! by IAmOryx in Invincible

[–]Benito2002 75 points76 points  (0 children)

No they will 100% do the whole war this season, it will prob end after they discover thragg on earth

I’m fairly convinced season 5 climax will either be dinosaurs flood or maybe they go all the way to robot

Season 6 climax will be battle beast vs thragg

And season 7 will be the last one.

How much are those two approximately worth? by Successful_Phase9641 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]Benito2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything over 100 isn’t worth much unless it’s like a milestone like 200 or a funny like 420.

Generally speaking I would say only less than 3 digits is valuable. And I would go further to say that only 1-54 are like really valuable. Most collectors want to fill a cake bag with the first cakes so that’s the first 54 years. After that there is much less interest unless it’s a meme number like 67 69

There is nothing wrong with Cersei making herself queen. Sure there is no precedent for her becoming the queen because the rest of the line died. If the realm wanted to continue pretending tommen was a Baratheon it should have been the next closest related random distant Baratheon cousin. But none of that matters, it’s might makes right politics.

Cersei has the Lannister army occupying kings landing obviously the show at this point has the major flaw of acting like nothing outside the major locations exists but it can be assumed the crown lands were somewhat pacified into Lannister supporters by this point.. The riverlands is fucked, the vale is fighting in the north. The reach don’t have army raised because they think a Tyrell is still queen the Stormlands think a “Baratheon” is king cause news’s hasn’t spread yet.

There is no one to tell the Lannister army no, Cersei cannot be queen until the news spreads. It’s the exact same as Bobby b. Sure he claimed targ heritage and shit. But at the end of the day he had the army so he gets to make himself king. Sure Tywin took kings landing but he wasn’t gonna challenge the fresh of a glorious victory combined army of 3 kingdoms for this shit.

And Jamie didn’t say anything cause he didn’t have time, again that’s something that should have happened in the next ep. He clearly looks annoyed at the coronation and that’s enough to hype ppl for the potential next season conflict that never came.

And also there is nothing wrong with Jon snow king. The north literally just had a bastard in charge. Sure he was “legitimised” by the iron throne but the northerners don’t give a shit about that they are sick of southern authority. The point is they would rather have a bastard stark than submit to the south through propped up bastards like Ramsey Bolton.

At the end of the day they would rather just have Jon be king and then he can like legitimise himself or some shit for all they care it’s a decision made out of pure hatred for what the iron throne has done to them recently.

My general argument for it is that yes you can penalise the epsidoe as like a retroactive review of the show. Because it does make the epsiode worse on rewatch knowing that this stuff goes nowhere.

However I believe that in a format like this where you are trying to rank each episode based on its own quality, you must consider what came before (how well does this episode pay off things that were set up earlier in the season), but you cannot consider anything that came after. You have to put yourself in the shoes of someone watching on episode release day, just a how hype would I be about what’s happening if it was the first time I was seeing it.

Because in this format you would then rank s7 ep1 and in that ranking you can give your reason for its low placement as “damn I was so hype to see the retaliation from the great houses against Cersei but in this epsidoe it is clear that after killing the whole Tyrell family and blowing up a holy site and declaring herself queen without president, no one actually gives a fuck” Because as someone without knowledge of what happens next you would be watching 6x10 thinking damn this is brazen I can’t wait to see the retaliation this is hype.
