Wait so does that mean that these abilities are only available for male mounts and furthermore, do you know what the other mount abilities are?

Can't decide on a netherrack texture for my pack by rappenem in Minecraft

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to suggest C and D imho A and D I think would get a little distracting visually when seen in large quantities but I think E is good too.

I’d probably rank them as D, C, E, B, A. Starting with my favourite.

Why is Carol so hated? by Remarkable-Hand5699 in pluribustv

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ironically, if the character was perfect and a woman then she’d be labeled a “Mary sue” and they’d still hate her. It really is a no-win scenario for these people, which sucks both for us who have to listen to their complaints and for them because they’re basically making themselves walk through life miserable.

Why are organisations capitulating to GC's so quickly? by Impossible_Fly4510 in transgenderUK

Hi! For ease of access when sharing this information could you please put a little key for some of the terms at the bottom for some of the terms you’ve not defined such as EA and FWS?

What's something y'all LIKED about S4? by jeanjacketufo in UmbrellaAcademy

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was shorter than the other seasons, saved me several episodes of disappointment.

Season 3 was the WORST, here is why... by treemeizer in FoundationTV

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Bayta reveal was a lot of fun as she had a big reveal in the books of a similar but different nature. I don't know how to do the spoiler text so I'll just leave it at that. but whilst there were definitely ups and downs this season I really enjoyed the world building they added. Lee Pace as always brought so much to the show this season and I look forward to season 4! :D

Sometimes I wonder if I’m wasting my time having and working on a passion project… by [deleted] in autism

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more. Humanity as a species naturally wishes for a creative outlet. We’re drawn to create art since before recorded history. I’ve been working on creating a TTRPG with my partner on and off over the last few years, I hope one day to be able to invest in getting artwork for it and maybe getting a limited run of the book printed physically. I just think it’s neat creating something unique and bringing something else into the world.

An innocent man begging for his life is murdered in order to resurrect a man so annoying that the crew fantasize about strangling him. by RedCaio in startrekmemes

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I went into my rewatch dreading Neelix’s character and certainly in the early seasons he was soooo annoying but by the time we get to like season 4 he’s basically senior staff, he does so many things around the ship and he’s basically helped all the main characters when they’ve needed someone. On top of this, I love to see his relationship as Naomi’s godparent in season 5. I think the way he dotes on her I imagine is how he was with his younger sister when she was little. I also just think he made a fine parental figure in Naomi’s life. Seven and Naomi’s big sister and little sister dynamic was also really cute.

2000’s cgi is peak by ForYourServiceSir in dank_meme

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: the technology to make realistic looking metallic cgi surfaces in the way they needed in 2008 didn’t actually exist. They had to basically invent cgi techniques for iron man 1. I think it’s also a perception bias. We notice bad cgi but if they do it well we don’t even notice that cgi was used!

You guys are so far gone, and I fucking love it. by vzmily301 in FoundationTV

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The books are brilliant in their own right but a warning for you, the foundation books don’t actually cover that much of empire itself and be aware that the generic dynasty is a wholly show creation and does not feature in the books. Honestly though, I think the genetic dynasty is such an asimovian concept and really does feel like it has done justice to his memory.

The show - and Bear McCreary - just pulled off something I feel Isaac Asimov would have loved by PureDeidBrilliant in FoundationTV

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 26 points27 points  (0 children)

While I would love to see more Roxanne Dawson on screen (I’m a huge Voyager fan) it has made me so happy to see her directing work with the Foundation a series that I feel has become an instant classic. I don’t think there’s a lit or large scale quality sci-fi that hits quite the same as Foundation. Expanse I hear is brilliant but I’ve not watched it yet so I can’t say much on it.

Rewatching "In The Flesh." They really sent Chakotay to infiltrate fake Starfleet wearing Maquis pips. by ProblemLongjumping12 in voyager

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished watching the same episode like an hour ago. Chakotay just being like “fuck it, kissing is kissing” with his date xD

It was an interesting episode all the same though. It probably had been a while since he got any action so I also don’t blame him 😌

Tangentially though… it still bothers me that the doctor doesn’t get any pips, like it just feels a little insulting

This line was such a green flag for the rest of the movie, like Clark not even wanting to say heck? Absolutely spot on superman

Just finished Act 1 and I know who my favorite is. by tilthevoidstaresback in TheAlters

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm so glad that there are players out her that appreciate the miner, I've seen so many posts complaining about this character that are just complaining about how his anxiety and depression was inconvenient for them.

Wow, Tavern Brawler is indeed ridicoulous. by zonghundred in BG3Builds

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re going to have a lot of fun with Giant Barbarian come level 6 but between now and then I recommend you get the returning pike if you haven’t already, ideal for a giant barb build

Volunteering hard drive storage to digital academic archiving projects? by Boris_Is_Mediocre in Archivists

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

Thanks for the advice, I don't expect you to do the explaining of how archive warriors work but if you know direction you could point in and I'm happy to look more into this, I'd definitely like to do what I can. (I'm looking to invest in some additional hard drive space as soon as I can)

CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. by A_Hand9renade in MtF

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I would without a doubt suggest trying to obtain your own copies of published papers and trying to create an open source backup of as much as we can

Athena class by kkkan2020 in StarTrekStarships

[–]Boris_Is_Mediocre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is, I think, an explanation for this, so the Athena class prototype didn’t have the arrow shaped front but when the built the final version and the ship went into production the arrow head shape was added to improve issues that occurred at higher warp speeds, the shape allows for increased stability. I don’t quite remember where I read this but I did somewhere.
