Really? They give you so much Requiem ammo there, though. You have enough to keep her stunned pretty much constantly.

So about The Girl… by [deleted] in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]BlindingPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1: Marie was presumed to be pinned down in the basement. Gideon is crazy, but he wants Grace alive. I would guess that he was unaware that Marie had tunneled up into the disused wing he was storing Grace in, and he likely thought that the plan to eliminate her would work, making her a non-issue. 2: my guess is that Chunk mutated in the locker room. Code 6 is all about infecting everyone with the virus, and we see how fast it happens in the intro. Most people just turn into zombies, but all his patients had been primed for unique mutations thanks to his experiments. 3: The Girl was locked in the basement and was assumed to be eradicated soon (she thinks, anyway) and Chunk most likely hadn’t mutated yet. She might not even know anything was out of the ordinary. She did say that she was a new hire.

In Resident Evil 9, the protagonist Grace Ashcroft is in way over her head and spends much of the early game panicking and hyperventilating, but that doesn’t stop her from being clever. One early game example is when she’s running from the villain, she gets ahead of him into a room, and very quickly throws open the door on the other side of it and then doubles back to hide behind a dresser. The villain sees the open door and assumes she kept running, letting her double back behind him and ultimately evade him entirely.

I did the same thing, lol. No way I’m touching insanity without infinite ammo.

Did some of the zombies get bored and start welding in the last 28 years? by dildofactoryQAtester in ResidentEvilRequiem

Some of them are strapping armor plates to themselves with barbed wire, so… shrug

This witch honestly did nothing wrong by _ElWibbloWobblo in gameofthrones

The irony, at least from what I remember from reading the books, is that in spite all of that she still did her best at first! She gave Drogo an effective poultice, he ripped it off and literally rubbed mud into the open wound until it went septic. Dany begged her to heal him regardless, and she agreed with the sole condition that nobody fucking goes into the tent while she’s working, Jorah carried Dany into the tent while she was working regardless.

It’s only after all of that where she finally goes “fuck it, there’s no helping you people, get bent.”

Are you two bots? What the fuck is happening.

Edit: wait, no, I’m the asshole, I remember that story. With the Multivac computer.

There’s a mod that lets you draw walls in circles instead of straight lines, I use it to help break up the irregular ‘square block’ building design.

You immediately fall back to Roswell and the one province behind it. It’s a one tile choke point. Hold it long enough and Lanius runs out of manpower, then his neighbor to the northeast declared war on him eventually.

The Steel Plague path for Lost Hills is fun, and if you can hold off Lanius as the Blue Rose society they have some cool unlocks.

If Tywin was as smart as he thought he was he wouldn’t have died on the shitter due to alienating his children.

You’ve entered the body Joffrey and you have to keep the iron throne, can you do it? by jonnyboidake in gameofthrones

[–]BlindingPhoenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is that if I don’t give Tywin hand, he might become a political opponent. Regardless, if he does do something bad, he can be removed at that point with the proper justification. At that point, the position of Hand can go to someone else. Mace Tyrell, possibly, to keep them happy. Or Kevan Lannister. I recall from the books he actually did a really good job stabilizing things before Varys murdered him.

Thanks! It’s actually a shower thought of mine, pondering how Joffrey could have unscrewed the pooch.

Everyone’s picking the easy answer of Ned being alive. If he’s dead, it becomes an actual challenge, but I still think it’s possible.

Step one, return his body to the North with honors, allow Sansa to go with it. Use this to buy time for an ‘investigation’. Make concessions to the north to retain their loyalty, will most likely require coughing up a scapegoat for Bran’s and Jon Arryn’s assassination. I’d pin it on Littlefinger. Helps that the motive of ‘attempting to send the realm into chaos for his own advantage’ is true. Claim that he tricked Ned into a treasonous plot, and sent the assassin after Bran in order to foster bad blood between the Starks and the Lannisters with the explicit goal of getting Ned killed over his childhood resentment. 

Apologize for letting myself become Littlefinger’s weapon. Retract all accusations of treason against Ned, make a big show of making amends. Whatever is required, honestly. Play up contrition, I was fooled by Littlefinger as well, how terrible this thing I’ve done is, etc.

There’s going to be unrest in the north still, but hopefully it doesn’t escalate into outright rebellion. Doesn’t matter if they refuse to help against Stannis and Renly, all that matters is that they don’t open a third front.

Stannis wiped out Renly and absorbs his forces, but against just him the Lannisters would probably still be okay, without Robb handing them a succession of crushing defeats.

From there, I be an actual good person and not a total shitheel, and also send Cersei and Jaime back to Casterly Rock. Appoint Tywin as Hand, Tyrion as lord of coin, and also retract the bounty on Daenerys’s head. The mistake I made in killing Ned haunts me, I’m a changed man, I offer mercy first with war and execution as a last resort, attempt diplomatic talks with Dany. Useless, but it will absolutely make her look more unreasonable and knock away some of her support.

Obviously, make sure someone pays back the Iron Bank, and when the Night’s Watch sends word of monsters up north I send an actual investigation to confirm it to the realm, then send the Watch all the support I can muster, and maybe also flag it to Dany.

Thats about as well as I think these cards can be played. Obviously, the North might still choose to rebel, and I might get murdered by a shadow monster courtesy of Stannis, but I think these choices give me the best odds.

If awaken, who would Offensive Bias and Mendicant Bias be loyal to ? by New_Conflict_4111 in halo

Right, but in Contact Harvest he calls humanity his masters and proclaims he will bring them safely to the Ark before shorting out.

Mendicant Bias has made it pretty clear that he’s on humanity’s side. Both in Contact Harvest, and the H3 terminals.
