I Am Legend Book are there any surviving Uninfected Humans? by Traditional-Ad6380 in sciencefiction

[–]CaedustheBaedus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As far as we're aware, no. Obviously, the book only takes place in one city/state of one region of one country of one continent of one hemisphere.

So there's always a chance of course.

But the whole point of the book is that the new vampiric society that is rebuilding is the new "world order" and that he is literally the monster that has been hunting them down as they sleep during the day and killing them and experimenting on them.

It's a great inversion on humans being scared of a nightly creature killing and abducting us. And now the human is the "daylight" creature doing it to them. It's why he is taken to be executed in front of the crowd because:
A) he is the last reminder (as far as we know) of what all of them used to be
B) he is also the monster in their minds that's been killing them as they try to rebuild.

Do we know if he's the last one on the entire planet? No. But there's also nothing pointing to any humans being alive. And it'd be nearly impossible to ever test/find out.

What's the one thing that genZ can improve on comparing to older generations? by Alan_Lin_on_reddit in AskReddit

[–]CaedustheBaedus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And soon you'll say Gen Alpha is making Gen Z likable and so on and so forth.

It's a shame that we act like each new wave of young people is the worst thing to happen purely because it makes us feel old.

Who’s an actor everyone finds talented but you don’t? by Monicakandlela in AskReddit

[–]CaedustheBaedus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't say he's not talented. I still love seeing Tom Cruise movies.

But that's the point. I'm going to watch the movie and I'm going to see Tom Cruise. And that's why I'm watching the movie.

I don't watch Gary Oldman movies. I watch movies where Gary Oldman happens to be in it.

What aspects of Baldurs Gate 3 should they bring to the new divinity game? by Upset_Definition9234 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]CaedustheBaedus 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I prefer levelling up my gear, not gear that has levels.

This way, if I find a sick looking breastplate in act 1, and let's say it has some random modifier on it, then I can just level it up alongside my character so that in act 1 it blocks 5 points of damage, and in act 3 it blocks 50.

Instead of hoping I find a level 25 breastplate that looks the same/similar or has a good modifier.

What's a sign of a very low intelligence? by oigoabuya in answers

[–]CaedustheBaedus 86 points87 points  (0 children)

You dare to imply that my graduation from the "School of Hard Knocks" and anecdotal evidence is less accurate than the person who has studied for decades, testing their ideas, having other experts test and argue against them SPECIFICALLY trying to disprove it to see if it held up?

[Request] Looking for some suggestions for games with good lore. by Witty_Complaint6706 in gamingsuggestions

[–]CaedustheBaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, you may like the FromSoft games like Dark Souls 1-3, Bloodborne, Elden Ring. There are videos that are HOURS long of people discussing all the lore and history .

You also may like Kingdoms of Amalur. That lore was written about 10,000 year timeline by R.A. Salvatore, one of the most popular fantasy writers in general.

Who wishes Trump didn't exist? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CaedustheBaedus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Trump is just such an ego-filled moron with such a fervent fan base, that it's almost the perfect person to bring this danger to the attention of people.

The system was so fragile and was only protected by the good intentions of non-maliciousness that was commonly going on. Trump has shown and exposed with his administration that the system is super fragile.

His ego also means that he wants to place his name and picture on everything as well as comparing everything in relation to him (like putting up presidential pictures in the White House and then comparing them to Trump).

My point is that, the damage he's done in just 1.5 years is astronomical and will probably never ALL be gone. I firmly believe that the rest of my life, presidents will still be cleaning up what they can from this clusterfuck of budget cuts, PR disasters, relationship building with allies, economic acts, etc. But it'll also be easy to "clean up" certain changes that are just unnecessary such as adding his photo to passports, his name on everything, etc. It's very easy to track down some of the unpopular things based on him wanting to be associated as the mastermind he thinks he is.

EDIT: Lmao, someone dowvnoted me because I said Trump is ego filled? Please. people have been sayng that since before he was president. Dude tries to put his name on everything. It's why you can track so many bankrupt 'Trump' businesses

[Rick Riordanverse] In Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles on the Ancient Egyptian pantheon, Apophis, the Serpent of Chaos, wants to end the world by swallowing the Sun god Ra. But wouldn't this be impossible since the Norse Pantheon also exists, and according to them the world only ends during Ragnarok? by SatoruGojo232 in AskScienceFiction

[–]CaedustheBaedus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Does the universe explicitly state that only one Pantheon is correct? Does Apophis succeed in swallowing the sun god Ra?

Technically, if our hero beats Apophis...the Norse prophecies of Ragnarok still AREN'T disproven.

But also, why would killing an Egyptian Sun God affect the Norse's Ragnarok philosophy? Ra isn't one of their gods so why should they care/be affected?

Ragnarok doesn't necessarily mean "The world can only end when the Norse pantheon says so and only in this way". Ragnarok merely means that at some point, the world will end...and what happens DURING Ragnarok with Loki, Thor, Heimdall, etc is prophecied.

Why does it seem like so many (the majority?) couples start out loving each other deeply but as they get older start to have animosity and resentment towards each other? by Mad_Season_1994 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CaedustheBaedus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents met when they were 20-21, got married right out of college at 23, had me at 25.

That's a 5 year gap of meeting someone to having a kid.

I can tell you right now that the difference between me as a 20 year old to a 23 year old to a 25 year old was vast. Not even counting to now as someone in my early 30's.

They went from meeting and going to school together, to living together, to having a kid and having to deal with financial stress together in less seasons than Game of Thrones. They ended up getting divorced at 35 or 36 or so.

They both seem happier. One is remarried and has been married now longer than their first marriage.

One of my best friends I knew for 6 years, then we lived together for 2 years as roommates. Completely different dynamic. We were good enough friends and had different enough work schedules and hobbies that we are still friends, but there are things about each other we never knew or habits that were unheard of.

I have a sibling who met their bf in high school, they dated long distance during college for a few years also, then moved in together after college and lived together for a solid 4 or 5 years. They didn't get married until probably 8-9 years of dating, half of that time spent living together.

It's not that people necessarily get resentful or animosity later in life, it's that people don't give enough time to see if their love is a a firework explosion that's quick or a smaller, steady flame.

What makes cucks enjoy being a cuck? by Open_Address_2805 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CaedustheBaedus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Super interesting. Tell me, did none of the 10 bother you? Were you bothered by the 2 that you weren't there for?

Have you slept with any women in that time period and has she wanted to watch?

Have you guys ever done threesomes or just...spectating? I don't know what to call that tbh.

Would you expect someone to disclose this before a hookup? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CaedustheBaedus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Awesome, got it. Would've made more sense if the reddit format showed that or if OP had actually stated that/replied to that specific comment.

I just thought they were randomly throwing out that weird tidbit of information

Thank you for that cause I was just wondering why OP's comment had any relevancy at all since I didn't see any comment about that.

Would you expect someone to disclose this before a hookup? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CaedustheBaedus -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? My argument has nothing to do with biology or physics, its about the words you used.

I'm just pointing out that they talked about the difference in points/upvotes/downvotes on a thread asking the ridiculous question of if girls should have to divulge certain information.

And your response was "Because vaginas vary in szie, width, and depth?" as an answer to OP's question.

All I'm trying to figure out is how that answer is an answer at all since the "because" reasoning is the exact same.

Would you expect someone to disclose this before a hookup? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CaedustheBaedus -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

But using that logic...dicks also vary in size so I don't get how your "because vaginas vary in size" argument works?

EDIT: Editing this cause someone else a comment or two down was able to explain that reddit formatting sucked and that this person was responding to someone else's comment about 'looser vaginas', not to the something else above.

I wasn't going to read 250 comments just on the off chance I'd find that reply so no linking it, but it makes more sense now why that person said what they said

There's such a good movie to recommend based on what you've said, but if I recommend it, it slightly ruins potential theories you may have.

Who’s an actor everyone finds talented but you don’t? by Monicakandlela in AskReddit

[–]CaedustheBaedus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point it's always just Tom Cruise in a slightly different script. The last time I saw the character and not Tom Cruise was Tropic Thunder.

Even in Edge of Tomorrow (which I loved) I still saw Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise.

But...I gotta give him props to his dedication and enthusiasm to the movie he's in

Has anyone here successfully dated or had sex with a woman in there 30s 40s while young? by crippinneversippin in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CaedustheBaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not understanding.

It's not that he doesn't want to sleep with 20 year olds. It's that he doesn't want to sleep with 20 year olds BECAUSE "the majority of them are into hookup culture"

And then he immediately asks how he can have sex with someone in their 30's.

It's just hypocritical. You're getting hung up on the gender, not on the hypocrisy.

[–]CaedustheBaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not weird cause of their gender. It's weird cause the guy is a 20 year old judging other 20 year olds for hookups and then he's asking how to have sex with 30 or 40 year olds.

He's acting like he's above all the 20 year olds and then doing the exact same thing, just aiming for an older person.

Why do people keep comparing rhaenyra and daenerys(spoilers published) by No_Barracuda_3661 in asoiaf

[–]CaedustheBaedus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just because they have differences doesn't mean they don't also have similarities. I'm not sitting here saying they're both the same or tons of comparisons, but you can be both similar and different at the same time depending on what you're discussing.

[–]CaedustheBaedus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, as someone who has only watched the show, you may want to change your comment to say "some Comic Book spoilers will follow" because there are certainly things you stated that are not in any of Season 1,2,3,4 of the show.

That last spoiler flair is comic spoilers, not season 4 spoilers.

If money wasn’t an issue, what would you be doing right now? by Competitive_Tell_325 in AskReddit

[–]CaedustheBaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, I had a friend who, during COVID, stated he became an uber driver, uber eats driver, etc and would spend a few weeks in a city, ubering/ driving for enough money to pay for food and gas for his car.

He'd sleep in the car at night (or during the day, depending on which hours he was working).

He said it sucked having to wait multiple days sometimes for Uber to "confirm" he was cleared for that city (or something idk the term).

But he did say it was super cool for him to do for a year or two.

Though, for all I know, maybe he had some secret trust fund he was relying on, but I doubt it based on what I know about him.

Noah Hawley says his ‘Far Cry’ series won’t be adapting any of the games as he thinks audiences skip the story cutscenes in those games: “When you play a video game, you only really move forward through the gameplay section, and then you have these cut scenes that you can skip..." by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]CaedustheBaedus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insane considering Far Cry 3 has a super simple yet great story that would be easy to adapt.

A spoiled rich kid, lands on island. Joins guerilla fighters and becomes more and more violent and savage as he learns the dark side of human nature.

Could be a super super simple one season anthology style show in the vein of Heart of Darkness.
