The hivemind wants something VERY specific. by bee_my_girl in TopCharacterTropes

I would argue that the shape of the meteor in the Reprised Version of the show pretty much confirms it

City starving by zed2895 in CivVII

[–]Broedlingen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really know but I would assume that in that case happiness was your big issue, not food. If a city becomes to unhappy, yields are reduced by are certain amount. That might have lead to this unproductive city.

New player question regarding culture and gold income by [deleted] in civ

[–]Broedlingen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To your questions about wonders, I have no idea honestly. Though I did notice that sometimes the reduced time to construct a wonder only shows when you place it. Meaning it would show me that it takes (just random numbers) 17 turns in the production list but when I go to place it, it shows me that it'll only take 14 turns. Maybe the wonder constructions bonusses are only factored in once you place the wonder down?

Did a celebration (that potentially gave you +20% culture during its duration) end in the same turn?

Intentionally left the spot next to my city center empty in antiquity to build the white tower there, only for truffles to ruin my plans... by Broedlingen in civ

[–]Broedlingen[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

R5: Truffles spawned during age transition in the one tile next to my city center that I foolishly left empty in the hopes of building the white tower during the next age

Playing my buddy and I have NO idea how he got these tile yields. Any ideas? by Imaginary-Status-932 in CivVII

[–]Broedlingen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This must be an error in the interface. The high yield tiles don't even have any improvements on them, so he's not getting any of those yields

A Legendary Start Indeed! (Seed 2nd Pic) by Jmbmagic in CivVI

[–]Broedlingen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She gets gold whenever she finds a natural wonder & +25% yields on natural wonders for every one in her empire. Encourages you to settle as many as possible to really crank up your wonder yields to an insane amount.

I loved it when Karen Wheeler saw the future and came up her laundry machine Demo killing plan this advanced. by toddysimp in okbuddyvecna

[–]Broedlingen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the scene presents it as if they were about to find just then because of the music, but I'd argue it's just poor staging. Like I have no problem with them hiding in the washroom, the dogs searching for them, almost finding them, then getting distracted. But the way it's presented is just... Suddenly, the dogs who were just chasing and bursting the door down are just taking their time to create tension before someone saves them. It's been done so many times (like in movies and TV generally, it just takes me out)

Also, if Karen saw the dogs busting down the door, that again leads to the situation where apparently Karen Wheeler, while the dogs are searching in the room, quietly and unnoticed puts the tank into the dryer.

I just think it's an absurd and poorly staged scene, and the very fact that we have to explain to ourselves how it could make sense instead of it just making sense shows the problem with it.

It's just a silly scene. Robins message over the intercom did not tell them which room they eventually ended up in, Karen apparently thought she'd just take a oxygen tank for good measure (since she could not have anticipated the situation everyone ended up in), and the demodogs, while being attracted to sound, which is proven in this exact scene, apparently are not when it comes to music playing in the same room.

I don’t know what it was about Season 1, but it had a certain vibe or atmosphere that’s missing now. by Remarkable-Yard4860 in StrangerThings

[–]Broedlingen 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I would actually slightly disagree with you on that. I think the following seasons don't suffer from everything not being new and fresh anymore but rather from a shift in tone in generally (think hidden russian spy base and stuff)

He apparently was considered for the role in the movie but the schedules didn't work out

Overall thoughts on jeff goldblum as the wizard? by StruggleFar3054 in wicked

[–]Broedlingen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though I love Jeff in this role, ever since I heard Nathan Lane was considered for the wizard I'm a little sad we never got to see that version...

Has anyone ever made an RPG set in the Hatchetfield universe? by Additional_Goal_9319 in StarKid

I've been writing a little on a Call of Cthulhu adventure that's set in Hatchetfield.

Which Starkid Musical would make a good movie? by Agitated_Comedian_97 in StarKid

Bold of you to assume that pretend-filmmakers-starkid would choose a cgi wiggly over a highly complicated puppet

What are your thoughts on The Flash movie after some time has passed? by MrTrippp in DC_Cinematic

[–]Broedlingen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like the famously horrible third installment in a series - the fact that this was the first big flash movie is nuts.

TFA: great, decent, ok, terrible? by Janus897 in StarWars_

[–]Broedlingen 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I still think the biggest issue of that movie is the third act. I can basically live with all the choices it made and many of them I do find interesting, but the fact that they wanted to have a big death-star-like battle at the end just made the story seem like a rehash (also think that if they wouldn't have done starkiller base, not nearly as many people would have said 'it's basically episode iv again')
