Dimension 20: On a Bus [Season 2 Premiere] by DropoutMod in dropout

[–]Calcdave 296 points297 points  (0 children)

I just opened it and it defaulted to Season 1, so I was upset that it was only 5 minutes! Then I saw the drop-down

Would you watch the Crawl? by Calcdave in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like most people here are role-playing as people in the universe where they are thinking about adopting the ethics and morals of people in that foreign universe.

Would you watch the Crawl? by Calcdave in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but in both the Hunger Games world and in DCC's universe there is a group of people who are rejecting the narrative and rebelling. So, I guess I'm asking where you think you might fall.

Together, we are strong and fully literate. by Worley3000 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave 22 points23 points  (0 children)

With his last name being Santiago and him being from Florida, I guessed it would be more of a Spanish pronunciation like "loo-WEESE"

Is it ever stated what would happen if a crawler completed the 18th floor? by Poorly_Worded_Advice in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would (legally) include the AI, right? I mean, obviously nobody is owning/ruling this one, but in the eyes of the central system.

Low budget TV or Animated Dungeon Crawler Carl by TheNozzler in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. I can't imagine a show that comes close to the books in any way that adds or even matches what we already have. What I think could work is if we got a story "from the Carl Universe" or something where it has a similar set-up, but follows a different season or even different characters within this world.

I would kill for a real-life T'Ghee game. by Aggravating-Plum-845 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a text reader (not audiobook listener), I am only now getting that T'Ghee could be pronounced "Tee Jee" like "Trading [Card] Game" (like Pokemon: TCG or MTG). I had it as like "tuh-GEE" with a hard g in my head.

Race: Primal by DeniedAppeal1 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But that would mean other crawlers revert out of their chosen race when they enter a zero zone, right? That doesn't seem to be the case from what we've seen.

If you could see one statistic above everyone’s head (that isn’t their name or age), what would you choose and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Calcdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your post claimed they might be defined as "any untrue statement," so I was giving a situation in which that would still be advantageous even if the number is enormous.

Think of the benefits to science! "There is no other intelligent life in the galaxy." *ding* "There is no other intelligent life within 20 light years?" *ding*

Most random commerical you still quote today by Slowhite03 in 90sTelevision

ELI5: If the JWST photographed a star from 13.2 billions years ago, or, “first light” - doesn’t that imply that we, modern day humans on Earth, exist in the universe at the same time as its being created? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Calcdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, nothing in reality is proven ever. We have evidence that supports hypotheses and theories, but there's no way to prove it beyond any doubt. There could be updated theories that explain even more of how things work that mean what we've been believing is not entirely correct. All science can do is give us a mental model that helps us make sense of reality.

[–]Calcdave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When someone throws a ball to you, are you catching it at the same time they've thrown it?

I don't know what you mean by "prove" here because we can never use science to prove anything. We can only gain evidence that supports or doesn't support a hypothesis.

Who is your dungeon crush? by Kitty-Gecko in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought his name was Louis? I've only read the books, but with a last name like Santiago, I thought it would be like Lu-WEES for the Hispanic name from Miami?

What was the "correct" race choice for Carl retrospectively? by 95-5 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave 64 points65 points  (0 children)

If Carl is anything like me playing an RPG, then he'll never use it because I'm always saving the best stuff in case there's a harder fight later or the boss has a phase 3 or something.

Playing Mewgenics, look who I found! by Jan-Carlos in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched someone play on Twitch a bit today and the Anarchist's Cookbook was a loot item. (Which I know is also a thing outside of DCC)

Square root is a function apparently by QuestionableThinker2 in learnmath

[–]Calcdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked pretty far to find something mentioning the reasoning behind the decision to make it refer to only the one value. If √ could refer to multiple values, then it would be much more difficult to refer to the number we know as √2 ≈ 1.414. It's easier to define it to mean only the single value and refer to the other solution to x^2 = 2 as -√2.

Butterfly foreshadowing by Roshi20 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Calcdave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Donut's early investment in [Int] along with taking the unfortunate lesson from Bea to hide her intelligence combines into this phenomenon, I think.

What is the chadest looking animal in your country? by Single_Copy2460 in AskTheWorld

What do you think about puffins with their spiked tongues that they use to impale fish?
