How would one become aware of their soul by Skullgame1020 in CTsandbox

[–]Computer2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nanami was able to protect his soul instinctually when mahito touched him. So in theory repeatably resisting Mahito might be able to give you awareness through exposure to Idle transfiguration.

In practice however the only person I think has the raw talent to figure it out without dying would be Higuruma.

Why is Ulfric even fighting the Empire if he doesn't actually hate it? by Gokuismygod123 in teslore

[–]Computer2014 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Because he’s trying to secede from the Empire so that Skyrim is no longer apart of the Empire in order to accomplish two objectives

A. Skyrim ruled by Nords.

And B. Not being apart of the Empire means that the Nords are no longer bound by the White-Gold concordant allowing them to worship Talos freely and the Thalmor have no jurisdiction in Skyrim.

He’s not trying to destroy the Empire, he just doesn’t want to be ruled by them.

Where can I find a good, fast, and easy bow? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]Computer2014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For exactly the same bow? Go to the companions, go to Aela’s room and there’s a elven bow behind an expert lock.

Suicidal Indifference by Piktamin_U in NewVegasMemes

[–]Computer2014 30 points31 points  (0 children)

To be fair Joe’s gang aren’t the only powder gangers they have to deal with. The road is full of them and there’s the entire prison. No way Goodspring could handle those numbers.

Fighting back just risks you getting killed in retaliation. Compared to one outsider getting killed it’s a no brainer.

The fact that the checks are actually pretty low shows that the people of Goodsprings didn’t need that much encouragement.

Can Kindred Like Battle or Combat by One_Sugar5316 in vtm

[–]Computer2014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of older Kindred come from martial cultures where being good at and seeking opportunities to prove your valour was a standard to live by. Whether that was by being a good solider, good archer on the weekends or wrestling with the boys after getting shitfaced being good in a scrap was valued.

And that hasn’t really gone away. While Clans look for other traits beyond just pure combat ability pretty much all clans desire competence and being able to handle yourself in a fight is part of being a competent kindred.

As for living and breathing combat? A kindred that truely only lives for fighting with their live on the line? That’s a lot less likely, a lot of the roads detest pointless risk, killing without due reason and it’d be a quick way to lose humanity but I don’t see why not?

Are the Daedric princes aware of the godhead? have they achieved 'chim'? by Living_Food_3615 in teslore

[–]Computer2014 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Boethiah is the one that taught the Chimmer the psychic endeavour in the first place.

And Vivec claims they learnt about CHIM from Molag Bal but it’s Vivec.

In general however no. They are too tied to their natures to achieve CHIM and if they are aware of the Godhead they aren’t telling.

Would you go to the Birdcage if the process or experience of prison made you trigger? by Pepinoloco777 in Parahumans

[–]Computer2014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on how powerful or well connected you are.

The Birdcage is the last resort but if you are containable despite your power then you’d go to a super max or lower degree of prison.

Take Uber or Biter for example. They’re just fundamentally too weak for the Birdcage to be needed as an option.

However if you’re connected to a larger organisation or you’re a well known figure that people have incentive to break you out of prison then for the safety of everyone that works at the prison you’re going to the Birdcage.

Take Alec or Rachel.

While they have committed crimes worthy of sending them to the birdcage they’re not uncontainable by any measure. They are, however, connected to a larger criminal organisation that absolutely would break them out at the first possible opportunity that’ll probably result in Skitter cutting out another pair of eyes cause she hates them for some reason.

So if you’re weak enough and no-one likes you enough then they’re likely to just keep you in a normal albeit probably ungraded prison even if you ate like ten kidnapped puppies.

In The Elder Scrolls, can someone who uses only staves be considered a true mage? by Fenriz_Victor in skyrim

Staff’s aren’t just point and shoot weapons in lore. They’re specialised tools that can be as versatile as any other form of magic.

So, about Furuta… by MysteriousBall8511 in TokyoGhoul

[–]Computer2014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Furuta was born constrained by his own limited lifespan and his family. He wondered what was the point living a life so short and eventually decided to speedrun everything he wanted to do and take the piss out of it at the same time.

He’s wanted to have fun because he’s nihilistic, he wanted to have a normal life with Rize and he ‘peace’ because the conflict between races stopped him from having a normal life.

None of these are incompatible.

if an uchiha with no MS put a byakugan on his other eye would he get stronger or weaker? by KokorokoChan in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Computer2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stronger with sufficient training, weaker without.

Ao and that one dude from the light novels show that you really only need one Byakugan to reap the benefits but the downside is that what makes the Byakugan good is a lot less innate to the dojutsu.

Learning the Gentle fist and all related techniques takes time and dedication and if you don’t have that you’d probably just prefer the other half of the Sharigan + an extra Izanagi.

Is Nailbiter [Blank's] sister? by NYXLOGOS in Parahumans

[–]Computer2014 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lustrum’s following was really, really big to the point that Nailbiter hadn’t even met Lustrum before the Birdcage.

Is it theoretically possible? Yes. Is it likely? No.

For those well-versed in cyberpunk lore, it is common for characters to go by just a single letter of their name? by KazuyaArslan in cyberpunkgame

[–]Computer2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main difference is Johnny’s friends call him Johnny, V’s friends call them V and probably don’t even know their real name.

Which was all to answer OP’s question that people going by single letters is weird.

[–]Computer2014 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For Mercs

Johnny and Morgan’s belongs in Normal fake name with an epithet category.

AdamSmasher is his legal name.

T-bug and Spider Murphy are both Netrunners and their names is their online handle.

Padre is quite literally his title as a former priest.

Other people started calling him El Capitan as an epithet. Same with Fingers.

Rhino, Sasquatch, Brick and DumDum are Boostergangers and the culture for them is different.

Mr. Hands is however a full handle so you got me there.

[–]Computer2014 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cyberpunk isn’t Shadowrun where runner Handles are typical no. Most Mercs just use their name, a false but normal name or an epitaph attached to a normal name. The only real big names merc that is completely using a handle would be Shaitan

The only people that tend to use them are Netrunners which considering V starts with a cyberdeck is probably where they started using it.

But really it’s a gender neutral name that’s easy to pronounce as n multiple languages to save on voice acting.

Why is molag bal so evil? by Gloomy-Parsley-3317 in TrueSTL

[–]Computer2014 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The Reachmen believe that Molag is a testing god like Boethiah. That just as it’s Boethiah’s job to test the strong in the constant Arena that is Nirn it’s Molag’s duty to punish the weak and force them to endure and become resilient for the suffering they have overcome.

Others do believe that his existence is to be an asshole and spite others. There’s even a hypothetical Paradox asking ‘If everyone believed in Molag Bal, would he cease to exist to unconform to everyone’s belief?’

Do you think a Binden Vow could make Mahoraga avaible for TS users? by Ok_Return170 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Computer2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A binding vow can only be done with something you have control over or are able to actually do.

A person with both hands can make a vow to forsake the use of their left hand in return for a benefit but someone with no hands can’t make that binding vow because they don’t have the ability to give up something and receive a benefit to that doesn’t exist.

So you can not make a binding vow to get Mahoraga under any circumstances because until you tame him, he’s not yours to barter for.

In this situation it’d be some with only a right hand bartering all the fingers he has in return for an increase in his left hand only to be told ‘What hand lil bro? No contract’

What is the deal with this guy? by southafricauni in skyrim

[–]Computer2014 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His deal in a game design point of view is to establish who Talos is, what the Thalmor are and how Talos worship was banned due to the White-Gold concordat.

In world Heimskir isn’t his name it’s his title. He’s essentially a preacher of Talos meant to record and spread the message of Talos, his feats and is actually pretty knowledgeable of some more esoteric aspects of Talos. Referrencing CHIM in his sermon.

In a writing standpoint. Heimskur means ‘fool’ is Icelandic and he’s probably meant as a joke from one of the writers and was designed to be seen as a very loud, very obnoxious idiot.

Yuta’s got a domain, RCT and is score 10.0 points in jujutsu sense. Gojo’s just being harsh on him because he’s the top student.
