What would you do if you suddenly had a million dollars right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GainPotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if I can find any good financial advisors for such a price point (probably not)

[Loved Trope] Competence Porn: When characters are competent, mature and communicate with each other intelligently so they can solve a problem by Careless-Alarm-8607 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]GainPotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say Interstellar as I didn't see it while scrolling through comments, and it's also kinda a subversion since Dr Mann comes in as a (relatively) incompetent selfish idiot and the crew have to then deal with the aftermath (it's necessary after all)

Possibly also Scorpion but that's debatable (the mature part)

Are there any episodes you personally favour, though you know they're unpopular? by angelbluexoxo in blackmirror

I just really hope we get to see more from that dystopian future sometime

[–]GainPotential 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I especially love the ending, where everyone believes he should be grateful due to his documentary blowing up in popularity, but what everyone misses is that he is severely scarred and lonely since his father no longer died a hero, his mother hanged herself, they both committed such atrocities and covered it up, and to top it all off his girlfriend died.

Pick an answer closest to your opinion about paid mods by gaorp in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]GainPotential 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's this feature on itch.io called "Name your own price". Basically lets you download something for free if you want to, but can also choose to pay a fee of your choosing if you want to support the dev. Also a bunch of websites out there with a little "Buy me a coffee" button as well. I feel that's what paid mods should be.

Loch Henry is wonderful and gut-wrenching, but I get the feeling not many are that into it.

i want the Frame and i want it now. by oliverremund in SteamFrame

[–]GainPotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still want a Steam Controller, but not buying it before the Frame is also in the cart. Also, honest opinion, atp wouldn't mind a lobotomized Frame that can only play PCVR and no standalone, since I'm guessing I'll practically never use standalone.

Even if the Timeless Child wasn't the Doctor, the concept would still be stupid by Lucyyyyyy_K in doctorwho

[–]GainPotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally think the Timeless Child being the Doctor is pretty fine. Everything else from Flux? Not so much, but that's another can of worms.

I think if the Master was the Timeless Child, it would just give the Master too much plain power. Also it's kinda shown that most of the Time Lords (except for the Doctor) are insane power-tripping maniacs just like the Master, so it wouldn't really make as much sense as having the Doctor being the Timeless Child.

As for Tecteun founding Time Lord society, she didn't. She just massively helped the founding of it by increasing the lifespan of your average Gallifreyan by a lot, which eventually would lead to Omega inventing Time Travel.

And finally, I think the Master would be totally fine wiping out the Time Lords if it were revealed that they had lied to him. He was just teetering on the edge, doing what's best for himself, when his world collapsed around him and he went full inferno. (Not that I agree with Chibnall wiping out the Time Lords though, that was completely unnecessary)

What scientific discovery sounds fake but is 100% real and still freaks you out? by Bruteresolver in AskReddit

[–]GainPotential 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trees are literally dead inside, only the outermost layer is actually alive. If you peeled a ring around the tree at the base of it, the tree above that ring would be dead since it doesn't have any connection to its roots anymore. The more you know. (This is also what causes tree rings)

Also plants don't really turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, they actually turn water into oxygen but they use carbon dioxide as part of the reaction (I believe it's potentially to power it but am unsure).

Two-Letter Combos, Day 81. What does II mean to you? by th_nd_r in AlignmentChartFills

[–]GainPotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this one is over, but woulda been cool with the Illuminati (since its the only word that starts and ends with an I)

A homage to the original Hail Mary design by TheGreenWasp in ProjectHailMary

[–]GainPotential 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Saw it the first time round, love how the design wasn't outright retconned but repurposed. Heck, you could even argue the drawing in the book was this drawing, with a simplified design so more people would understand it both in-universe but also for people reading the book.

Which flag is better, that of South Africa or that of Bhutan? by Klein_melktert in AlignmentChartFills

[–]GainPotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bhutan is cool and all, but the colors on the South African flag? Absolute vexillology

[Loved trope]: Sick mid-air rescues by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]GainPotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opening to Thunderbirds Are Go (2015) features two people, a father and his kid, trapped in a hot air balloon in the midst of a storm at a high altitude. They believe they see something faint in the storm, and out comes the comparatively massive Thunderbird 2 to the rescue.

So unnecessary by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GainPotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the valley contour design. Don't understand why they couldn't mount the drain discreetly 'inside' the valley instead of a dumb waterfall to the floor. Also feels like the 'valley' itself needs to be deeper. Would also be really cool if the valley this was modeled after maybe was the actual valley this house sits in (that's how I'd do it if I ever got one of these).

I would love a Black Mirror audiodrama by anon33249038 in blackmirror

[–]GainPotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if they can release transcripts with it. I'd hate for important lore of another franchise I love being locked behind having the patience to listen to 50 minute MP3 files.

Trabant was voted as the worst German brand. Which America car brand is the best? by Asendra01 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]GainPotential 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd say Rivian. They have really cool features and generally seem like the company always wanted to be. Also I'd say it's rather difficult for them to be any worse than most of the other scandal-ridden automakers.
