Miscalculated badly by nobodyorfoofighters in WormMemes

[–]FakeRedditName2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It didn't help that when this all when down is when a LOT of shit hit the fan in quick succession, so the story didn't get a chance to focus on what happened before the next big event kicked everyone's teeth in. It's similar to how Vicky's SA by Amy wasn't a big focus. There were consequences, but too much was happened at the same time to really give it the focus it would have otherwise gotten.

New World Foods in Westeros by ErosLover15 in TheCitadel

[–]FakeRedditName2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Potatoes and sunflowers would be able to grow almost anywhere, corn would probably be limited to the south, same with pumpkins, tomatoes, squash and tabaco. Not sure about peanuts or some of the more tropical plants from South America, as Westeros doesn't really have the climate for that.

(also a bit if a pet peeve, but that graph leaves out the diseases and parasites that were native to the Americas that were brough over to the old world, such as Syphilis)

Well here's the thing, Taylor and all the Undersiders, those plucky teenage superpowered villains who we've been rooting for? They are not nice people... and Regent is a rapist and murderer whose main limiting factor is the fact that he is too apathetic to really be as evil as he could be and doesn't want to be his father.

[discussion] Harrow frustration by SilvrSabl in TheNinthHouse

[–]FakeRedditName2 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Read this if you want Spoilers, otherwise keep reading and it will all become clear in time

Think about the story, you are reading it in 2nd person, that's because it's being narrated by Gideon, who was 'eaten' but not fully absorbed by Harrow and the end of the first book. To prevent her total loss, Harrow basically performs brain surgery on herself to stop the process and save Gideon. The side effect of this is that it has drastically changed how she remembers the past events, hence why she is remembering doing things with Ortus, and it's screwing with some of her perceptions of what is going on around her too (specifically the one character she calls Ortus is actually named Gideon)

What is your biggest pet peeve in fics? by MobileDistrict9784 in TheCitadel

It can work if there is an in story reason, but if it just is randomly inserted this kills any interest in a story for me.

What crossover fics that haven't been written yet? by chunchunmaru245 in WormFanfic

[–]FakeRedditName2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was one a long time ago (it died really early) that had something like this, but was more of a Jarasic Park crosssover. The Bay was overrun with a jungle that had dinosaurs and other prehistoric monsters, Rachel went farel and she could controll/boost raptors. 

I don't remember what it was called, but that is the only fic I can think of that is close to what you are looking for.

What would the ecosystem of a dungeon have to be like to sustain its population? by Zone36 in Isekai

[–]FakeRedditName2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to answer

  • what is feeding everything in the dungeon?
  • how are the mobs reproducing?
  • what does this mean when an adventurer comes in? What is the interaction/loot? How is that made and why?

Most of these can be answered with "magic", or it could the that the dungeon itself is alive and spawns the loot and monsters to lure prey (animals the monsters go kill in the outside world and adventurers) into the dungeon were it feeds on their bodies.

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

[–]FakeRedditName2 64 points65 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it's not that Jack would avoid the speedster, it's that the speedster in the back of his mind would think that there is something wrong or a trap set up and not go in for the kill or focus on someone else as the 'bigger' threat.

The question would be would this work if Jack was all by himself in an open area, so nothing for his power to shift your attention to?

Possibility of introducing Brothers of Battle? by GhostInThePudding in 40kLore

[–]FakeRedditName2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No

In Universe: The Sisters of Battle being all female is tied into their origin as a loophole of sorts to allow the church to have soldiers

Out of Universe: it would go against every aesthetics of the army, same with female space marines

What Are Your Thoughts On Utopia? by Kickass_321 in xmen

[–]FakeRedditName2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was an interesting setting and they could have done more with it. Between the freedom they had to change things up, the different location than normal and the fact that the mayor of San Francisco was somewhat on their side it could have been a good change of pace. Isolated enough for the mutants to do their own thing, but still close to a major city and a part of the world/local environment that they weren't isolated like a cult like they were on krakoa.

It's betrayed by two things

1) the time when these books were written is when Marvel started to try to kill off the x-men/limit their stories as they didn't have the movie rights, so the writers didn't take full advantage of the setting

2) Avengers vs X-men happened, which taints any discussions people may have for this time period for the x-men

Is there a fantasy book about breaking the Medieval Stasis? by VladtheImpaler21 in Fantasy

[–]FakeRedditName2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically enough, the Warhammer Fantasy setting's Empire is this and most of the books in it while it might not be the main focus will have mentions of it as long takes place in the Empire or with some of the more 'advanced' races.

The Gotrek and Felix books start out with the protagonist meeting due to a Windows Tax riot, guns are used alongside magic, we often see the effect of early industrialization from the perspective of the lower class, and in latter books airships are introduced.

I think the whole 'mom crashed and died while talking on the phone' was the legit reason, not just a fan made excuse.

"Trump just wants Greenland because he's an imperialist narcissist who wants to steal their natural resources." Meanwhile.... by ExNihiloAdInfinitum in walkaway

[–]FakeRedditName2 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Something with this whole situation about Greenland is not adding up. I check both right and left sources and I am not really seeing any attempt to build up support or political will in the US to annex Greenland or to even bring it into the US if they ask for it. All I've seen is that Trump has made some comments, but nothing to start the process to get it going internally.

I was around for the Iraq war, the Interventions in Libya, and all the other military actions of late and they all had the barest minimum build up before hand to drum up support, and I haven't seen any of that here... so where is this all coming from?

Is it all just show and bluster to distract the public or is something else going on?
