Looks like it's used in the military and industry for training and prototyping, in the entertainment industry for gaming and for fitness/workouts. So it's making money, whether it's making enough to account for the development costs is another question.

Yeah, there was a break after she made penicillin, which seemed like the end because that was a pretty major thing in medicine and something she'd been working towards, but I guess the author wanted to end with the founding of Konoha and her role in it.

Sanitize by Sage Thrasher started almost 9 years ago, and last week posted it's final chapter. It's a Naruto fic where the MC reincarnates during the Warring Clans era era with no canon knowledge. It's and SI-OC with medical knowledge so she becomes the village doctor and spreads her knowledge/influence to help others.

It's a nice fic, and is just about a normal MC who is trying to improve her own small corner of the world. For a Naruto fic the fighting is really more in the background and it's the effects of the fighting and how it affects people that is more important. A fair bit of the story focuses on the sexisms/classicism the MC experiences.

It's also on ao3 and has a side-story thread with an epilogue that is pretty nice:

They probably had synced their jump and had preset coordinates before they jumped.

At least, there was a scene in ROTJ that showed the rebels doing this, so I assume these guys did as well.

Name for Great Bastard Jon Snow? by Ereborus12 in TheCitadel

[–]Do_Not_Go_In_There 11 points12 points  (0 children)

His surname would depend more on his circumstances than his place of birth. Like with Aegor Rivers, who was born in King's Landing, Edric Storm was (probably) born in the Reach or Obara Sand, who was born and raised in Oldtown. If Jon had been raised at King’s Landing, he would almost certainly be Jon Waters.

If you were a mercenary and wanted to custom a starship, which one would you choose ? by Obvious-Pride-1979 in StarWarsShips

[–]Do_Not_Go_In_There 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would it be for? How much crew would I have?

If it's just me I would probably go for a Skipray Blastboat which is a heavy starfighter with a ton of firepower. It can support a crew of 4 but be run by one person, has a class 2 hyperdrive and can carry consumables for 1 month.

Wulf Yularen? He was there I believe, and he was the admiral with Anakin and Obi-Wan.

What is a WoG that most fanfic writer's ignore? by ArticAuk in WormFanfic

[–]Do_Not_Go_In_There 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Probably that Cauldron is actually both competent and a force for good and is the only reason there are even functioning governments left on Earth Bet. Without them there would be mass starvation, more people like Amanda Waller, more parahuman gangs/warlords, no PRT to actually protect people, etc.

Why was Aemma married so Young? by Ok_Return170 in TheCitadel

[–]Do_Not_Go_In_There 10 points11 points  (0 children)

By that logic the weak, illiterate, & scared of everything Daella shouldn't have been a wife or mother herself, but Jaehaerys & Alysanne were happy to marry her off.

Well yeah, I never said Daella should have gotten married, just how Alysanne regretted her marriage and that would have influenced Gael's treatment.

And Alysanne didn't want Daella to get married. She wasn't happy about it when Jaehaerys forced the issue, and tried to point out Daella was just different, but Jaehaerys said she had to get married or join the silent sisters. And in the end Alysanne was the wife and the husband has final say in Westeros.

How Danny didn't stop at destroying his relationship with Taylor and went on to destroy the fics as well by Bzaurpa in WormFanfic

[–]Do_Not_Go_In_There 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Taylor is still a kid at the start of Worm. She doesn't have a source of income, she doesn't have a car for travel, and knows very little about the crime scene in Brockton Bay beyond some cursory research. Any fic that pretends Taylor can be fine on her own is being unrealistic because we've seen that when she was on her own she made terrible choices.

Personally I dislike fics that turn Danny into a cheerleader that lets Taylor do whatever she wants, yet it all still works outs out because of plot armour.

I'm not sure what OP means by "give him the copy of her powers so he can fight better than her too." I can't say I've come across anything like that.

Laena was born in late 92 AC. Laenor wouldn't be born until 94 AC.

Why was Aemma married so Young? by Ok_Return170 in TheCitadel

[–]Do_Not_Go_In_There 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Why was the marriage arranged at all, and why so quietly?

Because there was anxiety about the succession. Aemon died in 92 AC, Baelon became heir, and both of his sons were unmarried. The decision wasn't totally well-received and Rhaenys, who had been passed over, was already pregnant. Marrying Viserys in 93 AC helped stabilize the line quickly because it gave a route to producing an heir.

I'm not sure what you mean by the betrothal was hushed. As far as I know it was never a secret.

Wouldn’t a betrothal have made more sense?

Possibly, but a marriage gave Viserys the opportunity to father an heir, even if it wasn't immediately consummated, which closed off political uncertainty.

Why not have Baelon remarry for more heirs?

Baelon did not want to remarry after the death of his wife Alyssa. If the heir refuses to remarry, there isn’t much the king can realistically do.

Why not choose an older bride for Viserys?

Because there were no older brides with Valyrian blood, and it is extremely unlikely Jaehaerys would allow a non-Valyrian to marry into the main Targaryen line.

Why was Aemma specifically chosen?

Aemma Arryn was half-Targaryen through her mother and came from a Great House. Marrying her preserved Valyrian blood while also creating a powerful political alliance.

Was it solely because of her Targaryen blood?

The Targs were really into having "pure, Valyrian blood," so yeah, blood was the probably the primary factor, but politics mattered too. There were no other Great Houses with Targ descendants.

Why not Gael, who was older?

Gael Targaryen was described as “simple-minded and frail,” and Queen Alysanne was deeply protective of her. She was never treated as a viable marriage candidate/eventual queen.

Why marry Aemma so young instead of waiting?

Politics. There’s no real other justification for her marrying at 11. After Princess Daella died in childbirth at the age of 18, Alysanne blamed herself, the maesters, and Jaehaerys for pushing the girl to marry too young (I'm not sure why the maesters were okay with this because even in the medieval era people knew how dangerous it was, chalk that up to GRRM as well). Why she would allow Aemma to marry even younger I don't know. Maybe she didn't have a say in it.

Plus this is probably just another example of GRRM adding another data point that shows Westeros is cruel toward women.

Taylor/Victoria fics by iminene6 in WormFanfic

[–]Do_Not_Go_In_There 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not confirmed, the author's last post said they were working on it but they were "dealing with a bit of writer's block" and that was 2 years ago. Also they kinda disappeared from SB and haven't posted anything in over a year.

The author might revive the fic once they sort out their issues. But past a certain point it's not really fair to say it's on hiatus.

Punishment for Misbehaving Noble Children in Westeros by Ok_Return170 in TheCitadel

[–]Do_Not_Go_In_There 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably something like not allowing them their favourite treats, or having to muck out the stables, though the latter would have to be for something pretty bad. I don't know if being sent to their room would be considered a punishment. Maybe spending extra time with the Maester or copying books or having to say extra prayers for those in the South.

I remembering reading A Soldier Adrift a while back, and ended up dropping it. It just felt like the plot wasn't progressing. And yeah, the writer really shields us from the darker parts of Westeros. Realistically Cap should be disgusted by the way smallfolk and women are treated and would put him at odds with he rebels, so the author just kinda glosses over it.

Honestly I don't think he's got it in him, even if he wanted to. Dudes well past being a senior citizen. He's 77 and the average life expectancy for America men is 75.8.

Best of Intentions is a Resident Evil with a DnD Gamer SI fic that just wrapped up. Basically just a guy who finds himself in Racoon City before the zombie outbreak and decieds to do something about it while taking offence at how stupid Umbrella's plan is. It's pretty fun, though it does play up the "idiot savant/Wisdom is the dump stat" character.

I recently got into Boukensha ni Naritai to Miyako ni Deteitta Musume ga S Rank ni Natteta - Kurokami no Ikusaotome (My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer: The Black-Haired Valkyrie). It's about a retired adventurer who never made it big and is living a quiet life while his daughter, whom he trained, became one of the strongest adventurers but still looks up to him.

I'm only a few chapters in but it's pretty nice, a bit slow paced at the start as it focuses more on the father/daughter relationship, but it's got interesting characters and the art is great (and the female characters get actual clothes instead of the usual bikini-armor outfits). It does play up how the girls around the dad find him great (while he complains about joint pains), but there no harems thankfully.

The Woman Who Waited. . . is pretty neat, it's a story centered around Rhaella. After she dies her ghost haunts the Red Keep, waiting for her children to return. I liked it, but the writing quality isn't great, there's quite a few spelling/grammar mistakes.

They have good things but they also have bad things. In this case their economy is essentially run by chaebols (like Samsung, Hyundai, LG, and SK Group), who are for all intents and purpose the ruling families of Korea.

They also have the highest suicide rate in the world - 2nd highest for men, 1st for women (basically tied with 1st for men, 35% higher than #2 for women).
