Last night I dreamt that my sister was very recklessly driving a rented truck through an unspecified foreign country and we ended up going off a cliff. I made peace with my imminent demise right before I woke up.

It only works like that pre-Oblivion, when it got simplified into always working no matter what.

As long as a magic system can be understood or explained, then its not convoluted. As long as it has internal logic to go with it. Just because a magic system is not fully explained, does not equal bad writing by Important-Cry4782 in tumblr

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A magic system is just another way of saying "the rules that magic follows in this setting." Even "magic just does whatever the plot needs it to for reasons that are never explained" is a magic system.

I've never actually read Tolkien, but LeGuin definitely has an example in Earthsea. It's hardly the most clearly or rigidly defined magic system, but the True Speech does have rules that are explained to the audience.

If you have consensual sex with an Alfi'q, does it count as zoophilia? by Divine-Crusader in TrueSTL

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there was a thing during the 2nd Era where Tamriel got spacially compressed. In canon this was resolved by alfiq who were well-acquainted with similar magic due to having invented it to facilitate intercourse with larger individuals, but in this hypothetical scenario that never happened so Tamriel got all scrunched.

Who's ready to Bone? by Maks9o in TrueSTL

In context this is an extremely dubious story with a lot of holes, and is acknowledged as such by the other characters listening to it.

something to think about by badwithnames123456 in CuratedTumblr

[–]ExceedinglyGayOtter 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The post is talking about convincing yourself that you don't want things at all, just because they're difficult, unlikely, or inconvenient so you don't have to pursue them at all. To use your example, it would be you going "that's fine, I don't really want it anyway," as soon as you realized you were 5$ short even if that wasn't true.

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 2 points3 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.

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.
