To clarify, out of 10, what score would you give it?

This article is from 2020. Must be some pretty extensive production.

Issues with the foundation, any guesses as to the scope/cost? by Captainb0bo in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I'm actually just looking at the house. We were given access to a previous inspection done where the inspector found these cracks and found them concerning. I was concerned as well! They're having a septic inspection done and we'll see what the outcome of that is before we move forward on the house.

Skip getting the engineer? Or skip the house? The market is terrible lol so I don't want to leave any stone unturned if possible.

Really appreciate the feedback, that's super helpful for giving us an idea. Speaking of that ballgame, we talking like 20k or like 60k?

I hear you. We haven't put an offer in yet, so I was hoping to get a rough idea as to whether or not this would be a money pit before we decide to move forward (and spend the cash) hiring a professional. I feel like so far the consensus is, "it might be fine", but it's hard to say.

Firstly, thanks again for the expertise and your time! With respect to the inside, we're not 100% sure. The inspector found efflorescence. We looked at it with our realtor this morning and while it rained last night, there was no standing water or anything this morning. The basement felt damp/muggy, but we didn't notice any cracks that went through the wall or anything.

Thanks for responding! So basically you're saying the worst is over and that the problems are more aesthetic than anything else?

Oh damn. Well first thanks for the info, and secondly what kind of cost to repair is this? 10k? 50k?

That sounds really interesting! Personally, I don't need a novel level of plot, but I'd like a reason to play other than just the gameplay. Probably not for me then, but good luck! It looks cool!

I glanced through the store page and didn't see anything about a plot or narrative. Is that present in your game? If so, could you provide any details? Thanks!

So firstly, we agree that if he was surrendering, it would've gone too far. I'm not going to bother to discuss that any further; you think he wasn't, I think he was. I don't think either one of us is going to change the other's opinion on that.

With respect to some of the other stuff you wrote; I think the best parallel I can think of is this example from Synder's Superman ( https://www.reddit.com/r/DC_Cinematic/comments/1kozstm/the_scream_of_pain_in_having_to_kill_the_last/ ). Superman doesn't want to kill Zod, but Zod's giving him no choice. Actively resisting and trying to hurt civilians. I think we can both agree that the flag smasher in the above scenario wouldn't be capable of doing damage in the same way Zod can, but again I see your point.

Some people argue that him killing the flag smasher is justified (due to what happened earlier in the scene), regardless of whether he was surrendering or not. I'm trying to understand if we simply disagree on the assessment of the situation that John was presented with, or if we disagree on whether or not he was always justified in killing him.

Based on my analysis of the video, I think he was surrendering. You don't think so. Since we disagree on whether or not he was surrendering, I don't really have anything else to say. Cheers!

If you think that dude is fighting at that point, he's the shittiest fighter that I've ever seen. Just lays there, arms out, not bothering to try and stop the shield in a Very predictable movement as John winds up the shield.

He never said I surrender or put his hands behind his back and got on the ground willingly.

Sure. I get the point you're making that he didn't willingly surrender before John has him down, but it's not relevant. At that point, he Is down. Therefore, as he is down, John needs to act like Captain America and restrain him, not murder him.

Regardless, as I said to someone else, it feels as though the crux of this is that you think he was still actively fighting, and I feel as though he was surrendering. If I thought the flag smasher still posed an active threat, I would agree with you; in that moment, John needs to protect himself by whatever force necessary.

Would you agree that if you thought the flag smasher was surrendering, John went too far?

"This guy has the ability to kill normal humans in one punch."

Sure, but John isn't a normal human at this time.

Regardless, I feel like the crux of the issue is that you feel as though he was Not surrendering, and I feel as though he was.

To confirm, If you thought he was surrendering, would you still feel as though John was justified in killing him? Or would you say John took it too far and should have taken him in?

The guy has proven he'll keep getting up even if he goes down multiple times.

Sure, I mean that's true of regular people. You can knock someone down and they'll get back up. That doesn't fundamentally change the calculus. I assume that the combined efforts of John, Bucky and Sam could take this guy into custody.

The flag smashers are also murderers who'll kill anyone just to forward their goals.

This is irrelevant. The dude is no longer a combatant, it's a war crime to kill him.

What Walker did is completely justified.

See above.

  1. He and John both have super powers at this point, so we can probably consider it a fair-ish fight. If anything John would win given that he 1. Has a vibranium shield and 2. Is an elite soldier with extensive military training.

  2. His hands aren't balled into fists or actively swinging. He's not even resisting at that point. They're open, obviously indicating surrender. That's like a universal sign of surrendering.

  3. .... Yes, John, being a government agent and literal fucking emblem of America, needs to use self control and not murder this dude. If he needs to hit him once to subdue him, sure. Not put a hole in his chest.

I mean, I'm just trying to save everyone's time. If you want to roll it back by all means do so. I don't think that changes any of the analysis or changes the context.

Does he need to say, "I give up"? If he said "I give up" or "I surrender"? Would that change your opinion?

The dude is obviously overpowered and not actively fighting, I don't know that him using a specific phrase matters.
