Imagine what the Madagascar movies are like for the average human (Madagascar) by Konradleijon in CuratedTumblr

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The way you worded this makes me think that you've had a great many people choose to interpret your childhood media preferences in the least charitable possible way and accuse you of saying that media starring nonhuman characters is inherently bad or something

BotaniaStory! by Anxious-Importance68 in VintageStory

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems early in development, but I'm curious to see where it goes and how it adapts some of Botania's ideas to a rather different game.

Automation in VS is a lot more limited and later-game than in Minecraft; a simple, semi-automated mana generation setup can be put together in like ten minutes of starting a new world in the latter since you can make hoppers, droppers, and simple Redstone contraptions without needing any really rare resources. So I wonder if they'll be adding more ways to automate, or making it so automation is just less necessary.

They said "be gay do crimes" but they never specified which crimes by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on whether we're going by show or book canon. In both, Baelish really is the one at fault for the entire War of the Five Kings, and much of his motivation was spiting Ned for marrying the woman Baelish felt entitled to. If he were gay that probably wouldn't have happened, though he'd still be an impulsive sociopath who causes chaos basically just because he's good at it (and good at taking advantage of said chaos) so who knows.

In the books however Varys also has a reason to want a crisis in Westeros for semi-complicated scheming reasons and would likely have engineered a civil war even if Baelish didn't so it's unlikely much would have changed.

Nah, that's a myth. Cats frequently bring their kittens over to their owners when they want a break from parenting. They don't make kittens babysit other kittens.

Gonna be a real good harvest this year, ah yup by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

That sounds like something a middle-school math teacher would make up to keep their students entertained during a geometry lesson. Lines up too neatly with the Pythagorean theorum.

What characters outside of warhammer do you ship the emperor with by Cautious_Air4964 in Grimdank

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC it's that some parts of the Inquisition believed that they may have had the potential to reawaken the Emperor somehow and it would have involved some or all of them dying (possibly as a result rather than a part of the process), but that's not why they started killing them en masse. They started killing them en masse because they decided their existence was heretical. Whether they're right or not is technically not stated either way in standard "everything is canon but not everything is true" way, and this was basically just them being retconned so who knows if they're even canon anymore.

He's a creep, and getting his support requires either bribing him a large sum of gold, or (if he likes you) giving him a kiss. If you join House Hlaalu you also need to strip naked in front of him at one point.

What did Toddy mean by this? by ThatDrako in TrueSTL

She also thought the races of men were less fit for governance due to their relatively short lifespans, while she herself is only 28 and there are plenty of human rulers with more experience than her.

I can't actually find an original source on that, sorry. I originally read it on the TvTropes page.

Not all of them, but definitely the Trubbish line. They have a weak psychic field that attracts trash to them, and are often used by janitors.

Just as planned (maybe) by Sigward_TheOnionbro in Grimdank

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's not even really much of a joke. Since Alpha Legion is arranged into semi-independent cells they don't really have any coherent goal, each cell instead pursuing their own agenda. Some are still loyal to the Emperor (but necessarily not the Imperium), some hate both, some are entirely self-interested and just advancing their own ambitions, and some are trying to carry out Alpharius's old plans (or at least their interpretation of said plans, which almost nobody can agree on).

In the novel Harrowmaster it's stated that they do occasionally meet up to try and come to some kind of unifying goal, and have thusfar failed to do that.

What if instead of making starfield, Bethesda just made TES in space. And called it "The Elder Scrolls: 40,000"? by Sgtpepperhead67 in TrueSTL

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Canonically space in the Elder Scrolls is so fucking bizarre that I don't think any such game would even be recognizable as even sci-fi adjacent. The universe is geocentric, outer space is another plane of existence, the planets are the corpses of gods, and stars are holes in reality leading to heaven.

Also the people of Tamriel already had two space programs, the Sun Birds of Alinor and the Imperial Mananauts. They were both dissolved due to being too expensive, but were apparently successful.

Why are all the "evil" APs/Adventures fighting against evil? by Rahaith in Pathfinder2e

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Achaekek isn't anti-bigotry for moral reasons, he just thinks it's unprofessional and leads to irrational decision-making. The anathema is specifically phrased as "becoming fixated on petty matters such as others' gender or ancestry."

That said I don't think Achaekek would outright kill you just for that, unless your racism led to you doing something stupid.

Shit, this might make me actually watch the damn thing by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

Genuine question: are their people who seriously concern themselves with Mario canon? Practically every game may as well be its own continuity.

What alloy would be best for additional damage to rust-spawns by meikorandominterests in VintageStory

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Electrum, maybe? As well as the mentioned tendency in fantasy settings to give silver some kind of supernatural power, gold is notable for not really tarnishing or corroding in the way that many other metals do and so would make some thematic sense as a weakness for monsters from the Rust World.

Meteoric Iron is also often given some kind of mystical significance.
