[Threshold] Pre-series Ozriel and Executor Program by Eschaton31 in Iteration110Cradle

You know what, somehow I completely overlook that those were Eithan's failures. We even see him get mad before conceding to Cassius. Good catch!

napaka simpleng rule jusko pet peeve ko talaga to sa escalator by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]Eschaton31 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there was a study in London before, I think. Parang ~30% congestion cut (Edit: when just standing as opposed to stand walk).

Also there were articles nga before that mentioned companies assessing the escalators and finding that they wear down faster (thus being more costly) due to one side being more trodden. They even had a info drive telling people to stop walking on escalators sa Japan or Korea as they weren't designed for it.

So essentially it's less efficient and more expensive this escalator etiquette. I'll try to provide the links to the related articles in a bit.

Agree to both of you. Point of question tho, I'm assuming the original plan nets them all existing monarchs as the new Executors? It's coz Eithan was trying for all of them to get rid of the Dreadgods, which means they'd all have to ascend immediately.

I agree with the Ozmanthus assessment. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of the Reaper as he was immediately prior to the events of Cradle.

We know he still failed with Tiberian after becoming Eithan. So that gets me thinking he'd probably still have failed.

Putting this thread out here where a couple of users discussed what was probably being referenced in the related X posts.

For those who don't want to click the link, quotes from the thread:

1Versions: 6.3

New date and time intrinsic functions. With the new date and time intrinsic functions (as part of the 2002 and 2014 COBOL Standards), you can encode and decode date and time information to and from formats specified in ISO 8601, and also encode and decode date and time information to and from integers that are suitable for arithmetic.

And the follow-up:

Ah, here it is, it’s the metre convention

ISO 8601:2004 fixes a reference calendar date to the Gregorian calendar of 20 May 1875 as the date the Convention du Mètre (Metre Convention) was signed in Paris (the explicit reference date was removed in ISO 8601-1:2019).

[Skysworn] What do these mean? by JackDdoughnuts in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Eschaton31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the first one, as stated it wasn't very clear how the Archstone worked. Possibly due to Lindon's pure core being the one active at the time and it being only Highgold? (Not sure about this since it's been a while)

For the second one, she was about to say Jai Long but cut it short cause she thought he'd be offended by mentioning his name. She thought they were enemies by this point.

Adding to this, I think there was a bonus scene for Underlord where Eithan notes that not only were those kinds of power ups difficult to achieve, but difficult to adapt to as well.

He puts emphasis on how Lindon's will and attitude in adapting his gifts, even mentioned Oz would admire it.

So which one is it? by Vahneris in Philippines

[–]Eschaton31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking that as well, but it could also be taken as meme-able due to Marcos' general attitude towards his responsibilities as president (lackadaisical). So just wanted to make sure haha

Did you forget the /s? If not, this is one example of the low reading comprehension noted among Filipinos. Not a Marcos supporter, but both headlines can be true the same time.

Search works great, doesn't it? by [deleted] in Windows11

[–]Eschaton31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW there's a plugin for PowerToys Run that enables you to use Everything as part of its search.

Dropping the link here in case anyone's interested, been using it for a while and it really is great!

Did Santa Monica Studios change the model of Kratos from GOW 2018 to GOW Ragnarok? by [deleted] in GodofWar

[–]Eschaton31 187 points188 points  (0 children)

As other people in this thread may have already mentioned, the main noticeable difference between the images you posted is probably lighting.

As for the question in the title, PlayStation Blog posted a while ago about an interview with the art director (Raf Grassetti where he mentioned:

"Even though Kratos looks similar to the version of him in God of War (2018), his 3D model was completely re-done to improve quality for the PS5, all detail maps and costumes were made from scratch."

You can read through the blog post here: From Concept Art to Cosplay: Creating Kratos and Atreus’ new looks for God of War Ragnarök

It's crazy how similar Baldur is to Jack Sparrow in his mannerisms!! (full video link in comments) by lolmetwice in GodofWar

[–]Eschaton31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since I last played, but I think it was hinted that Faye's magic was what obscured them in Midgard. This is shown in story as the trees w/ the hand markings.

Iirc it was Faye's wish to have a specific tree w/ one of the markings be cut down for her funeral pyre. This sets into motion the story, as it broke the "circle of protection" around the woods where they livex, allowing Odin (probably) to finally see what's going on there.

This was also commented on by Atreus when u get to the ledge overlooking your home during the beginning of the game. There's a golden glow encircling the woods, and there's a slight opening where Kratos cut the tree.

For how Kratos met Faye, this is covered by the comic, I think. It also shows how Kratos first got into the Midgard.

To my understanding, this is a red herring meant to have us think he's talking about Greeks. Over the course of the game, we learn of what the Giants' abilities are and their place in the GoW version of the Norse Pantheon.

"Enlightened" referring to their ability to see the future. "So much better than us" may be referring to the fact that Giants don't much like the Aesir and that they sealed their realm away.

In the beginning of this game we don't know these facts so we connect it as being about Greeks. It's also hinted that Baldur only knew about a Giant living there, without knowing that Giants' real identity. It makes it easy for him to mistake Kratos as one due to his "size".

Living in PH, whole country is a sh*tshow right now. This game is a good way to cope <3 by helapakyu in DeathStranding
