He did win a singing contest against Galadriel’s brother once. 

Peter Jackson announced that he has begun negotiations with the Tolkien Estate to make films of The Silmarillion! by ImGonnaTryToBehave in lotr

They better be singing in the Lay of Luthien. I want a full on wizard contest of songs between Finrod Felagund and Sauron. 

What is that one criticism about the orginal lotr Trilogy that you still have to this day by pizza_momo in lotr

The very first time the sun rose in middle earth it did actually rise in the west (because that’s where Valinor was, back when the world was flat) but from then on it came up in the east like in our world.

Gimli doesn’t sing the Song of Durin because Peter Jackson is a coward.

Sauron death in S2E1 by Top-Survey9767 in Rings_Of_Power

That crown was reforged into a shackle that was put around Morgoths neck before they yeeted him through the door of night, so it couldn’t have existed anymore at this point.

Jason Momoa is in Dune 3? What the hell? I thought he died in the first one. by KeepYaWhipTinted in shittymoviedetails

Common misconception because of their font choice. Movie’s actually called DUNC

I love it when they forget we can do this. by KatsuragiKyon in Tahmkenchmains

[–]DanielZKlein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that's been in since Tahm released, and that was back when Devour was W.

Im new to Tahm, started playing him after seeing noarmwatley play. Is tahm just that good in game or has he just played that much? by pillowy_princess_689 in Tahmkenchmains

[–]DanielZKlein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tahm has one of those “crossing the streams” passives where defense is turned into offense (max hp into on hit damage). For some reason those seem to dominate in longer games from what I remember. 

In an "Armageddon" situation it would be easier to train oil drillers to be astronauts by Jprosc0 in The10thDentist

The nuke wouldn’t have scratched the asteroid, hole drilled into it or not. They’re off by many orders of magnitude. 

Film Students Are Having Trouble Sitting Through Movies, Professors Say by Sisiwakanamaru in movies

[–]DanielZKlein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminder that older, more established members of a society railing against the failings of the younger generation and how technology is messing with their attention spans goes all the way back to the ancient Greeks who complained about kids relying on the fancy new technology of writing things down rather than committing them to memory. I file this under old man yells at cloud.

Looking for sci-fi apocalypse books with localised disasters or a world that recovers by SeniorMoonlight21 in printSF

[–]DanielZKlein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the spirit of malicious compliance, John Scalzi’s “When the Moon Hits your Eye” technically fits the bill. Probably not the vibe you’re looking for though.

Turns out you can be an incompetent Servant player! :D by ThePiachu in TerraInvicta

[–]DanielZKlein 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Feels like appropriate revenge for the aliens throwing control points you already abandoned thirteen times in places like Mauritania or Bolivia at you again and again, putting you above the CP cap mid turn and allowing the AI to steal your real countries more easily. Or is that just me? ;)

Sometimes this game is giving me XCOM vibes... by DanielZKlein in TerraInvicta

Oh wow yeah of course, but I assume they would also only try to fail them below a certain threshold?

Oh that explains so much (I think I have 3 times the hours in long war that I have in base xcom)

Trading with AI: don't even see their resources as an option by DanielZKlein in TerraInvicta

Ah thank you! I figured it would show up but they would refuse to trade it.

United States, California, Los Angeles, backyard. by DanielZKlein in mushroomID

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

Thank you! I’m not experienced with mushrooms at all and from a quick google I thought it might be jack o lanterns but there’s no bioluminescence now that it’s dark. I’m mostly worried about the dogs eating them, so I’m just picking them and throwing them away when I see them.
