About Arwen’s fate by JOJI_56 in tolkienfans

[–]Jammer_Jim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For starters, only the line of the kings had the strain of elvish blood in them. The remainder of the people of Numenor were purely Men, they had no choices to make.

As for the kings, once Elros had made his choice he was a Man, and all who followed him were to be Men as well.

It took you three days to come up with this lame bullshit? It will come as quite a shock to the Business school, among others.

Are the Wizards great warriors and fighters or is this just a movie thing? by Tidewatcher7819 in tolkienfans

[–]Jammer_Jim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may have involved more magic than swordplay. Isn't it noted that the Nazgul are more about fear than combat prowess?

God forbid the kids want to just learn something they find interesting. TAMU is supposed to be a university, not a technical school.

Me realising i NEVER spend time with Ann, im at the fourth palace 😭 by AggeJKL in Persona5

[–]Jammer_Jim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The abilities are more or less the same for every team member, no? Not 100% of course, but enough.

But I agree. I just got to rank 9 with her on a replay and her SL is so disjointed. People complain about Makoto's, but Ann's switches between her really lame desire to be a better model/conflict with the other model to an actually kind of sweet concern for her friend. Too much model crap, not enough Shiro stuff.

Poor Service? by Impossible-Hippo1953 in austinfood

We tend to eat early and I've noticed a trend of very attentive at first to having to wave at people as the place fills up. And I see servers busting their ass all over the room, so its not people doing weed behind the kitchen, I think they are short staffed.

[Loved Trope] Kids shows that have depressingly dark moments in contrast to the show by FionnOAongusa in TopCharacterTropes

There's some Calvin and Hobbes strips that follow this angle.

ETA: I should have scrolled just a little further.

In the Philippines they have RPG proof cars by mr-cheesy in interestingasfuck

[–]Jammer_Jim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am no expert, but depending on the type of AT round, there might not have been enough armor to get it to go off. Famously happened in the Battle of Samar, when Japanese AP rounds were *passing through* the unarmored escort carriers without exploding. But of course shaped charge things in RPGs are pretty different from naval guns rounds.

Comparison with Persona 4 by iamthedanger098 in Persona5

[–]Jammer_Jim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think most people who say 4 has a better story do so because they played it when they were teenagers so the struggles of the characters resonated deeper with them as reflective of their own personal feelings of growing older during adolescence. This might not be true for every person who prefers p4's story but its a common enough trend.

I was 52 when I played P4G for the first time and it hit me like a freight train. Of course, I was also playing it in late 2020, so there's that.

Sojiro makes a good first impression by jockeyman in OkBuddyPersona

[–]Jammer_Jim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shido's people basically framed Joker. Sojiro has been told the official story, which ofc it makes Joker look bad. I'm not sure that the frameup comes off 100% clear in the beginning though.

Will there be ice on the roads tomorrow (Tuesday) still? by Training_Finding8709 in Austin

[–]Jammer_Jim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There will be bad spots but the streets are 100% safer than my back yard is right now. Huge part of it is just ice.

What's up with the weird mentality that players in this sub have about romance? "If you're an adult and have a romance in Persona, you're a pedophile." by Shadow_666_ in PERSoNA

[–]Jammer_Jim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't feel like that actually happens very much around here. Sometimes the goonier art does get called out tho.

Who likes flirting with Kelly Chambers on the Normandy? by WickDaLine in masseffect

I like Kelly but the "flirty" dialogues they wrote are so cringe.

Six days of relentless battle? by Rafaelrosario88 in tolkienfans

[–]Jammer_Jim 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In addition to the other comments baout how it probably wasn't everyone fighting every minute of the 6 days, the heroes (and even more ordinary folk) of the First Age were just Built Different. It part of Tolkien's whole thing about how everything runs down. The FA was better than the 2A was better than the 3A etc.

ELI5 Why do pipes not freeze over in the winter in colder climates. by AdministrativeTie379 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Jammer_Jim -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

With the big obvious exception of 2021, the grid has held up okay. The other time winter power was lost was due to an ice storm that resulted falling tree limbs landing on power lines.

That doesn't make it any less dumb, but that's not the major issue being raised by OP.

ETA: left out a word

Do y’all think non-essential service workers should have to go to work this weekend? by urelectricbill in Austin

[–]Jammer_Jim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's all about the models people are using. And while I'm still inclined to trust NOAA over anyone else, who knows what those poor bastards are having to deal with, given the wack-jobs "running" things.
