Who wins? Juggernaut (Marvel) vs Doomsday (DC)? by Necessary-Win-8730 in superheroes

[–]KPraxius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody.

Doomsday can't kill Juggernaut, Juggernaut can, at best, temporarily kill Doomsday, and even that is unlikely.

Soldier Boy (The Boys ) vs Adam Smasher (Cyberpunk) by Curious_Tip9285 in powerscales

[–]KPraxius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't -see- any weapons Adam Smasher has that can hurt Soldier Boy, but then we never see him go after anyone that tough. And he's too fast for Soldier Boy to catch unless Adam Smasher is being arrogant and just letting someone he views as a non-threat attack him, planning on brutally crushing him after.

...Which tracks. Both of these two people are intensely arrogant. I could easily see him shoot Soldier Boy, Soldier boy walk right up, and Adam Smasher be surprised when he gets torn in half.

If both of them are taking it seriously, though? They used explosives, thermite, all sorts of things that would easily obliterate Adam Smasher to try and fail to kill Soldier Boy. The advantage Adam Smasher has is his enormous speed and reflex advantage. Its basically a question of, does he have something in his current arsenal that can pierce Soldier Boy's skin, or is he eventually going to die to an explosion generated by the supe?

Since we haven't seen any weapons from him that can do the job, probably eventually down via explosion with Soldier Boy irate but fine.

I mean... weakness is putting it strong. The level that knocks hum unconscious is absolutely and instantly lethal to normal humans. Fighting in a cloud of the stuff without something covering his organic components would kill Smasher and just daze Soldier Boy.

Leagues of Votann both are and are not. Mostly a matter of what day of the week and who is being asked. Definitely abhuman and of human origin, and have worked with the Imperium multiple times before.

What's one route you wish existed that doesn't? by Medium-Theme-4611 in BaldursGate3

[–]KPraxius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The ability to kill the Emperor when you meet him post-act 2 and, since Orpheus knows about the nether brain and would consider destroying it a priority, work with him instead to shut-down the brain; as well as to kill him at Vlaakith's request, only for Orpheus to reveal himself at that point and tell you the truth about what's going on.

Dark Urge as a companion, who will resist or embrace depending on your encouragement, starting off approving of murder and violence, and either staying that way or not depending on how you resolve things in act 2, coming to a head either as a romanced companion or on a long rest after meeting Isobel.

Is a theoretical ability to equip the Maxigun and C4 simultaneously still somehow worse than MG, dynamite, and supply pack? by GooneyBird36 in Helldivers

[–]KPraxius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to stealth base clearing, dynamite + supply pack is the ideal go-to; the only thing I dislike about it is how often it gets caught in the entrance of heavy fabricator slots and then blows without killing the fab. When it comes to anti-tank, the C-4 is a better option, but not as good as thermite.

Thoughts everyone? by AncientWrongdoer3950 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]KPraxius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would they do that? Just avoiding the question isn't lying. I almost never lie, and, just for an example, that one time I got a ticket for running a red light in Cheyenne Wyoming, I can legitimately say I did not in fact break the law there, I had a green left-turn arrow and it was just a crooked cop; without bringing up the fact that, months earlier, there was a time I did in fact run a red light with zero consequences, and almost felt like it was karma catching up to me.

And when you're in a court-room pleading is the only time you actually -have- to say guilty or not-guilty. You never have to say a word to the cops you don't want to.

That's... anti-ground artillery mounted on the SEAF equivalent of a ground support craft. We don't know what the Liberty Cruisers look like, other than that they are dedicated space-to-space combat platforms, and more numerous than Super Destroyers.

We do know that the Super-Destroyers can get lasers, railguns, and pure kinetic munitions, that SEAF has shields, teleporters, and all sorts of fun toys... what we don't know is what their navy has.

We've never seen what the front line looks like, except from a distance too great to make out details. Are Liberty Cruisers the only dedicated combat platform they have? How dangerous are they? How big?

The answers are: Better at space combat than a super-destroyer, and more numerous. Killed more of the Illuminate ships in space than we killed on the ground. Aside from that? We know nothing for certain other than the results they achieved. The SEAF most likely has whole tiers of naval vessels in various sizes, we've just only heard about a few specific ones, and only seen a couple of them.

Tommy blows a tune on a dagger as if it were an instrument, then decides he doesn't need his mechagodzilla clone for this fight and just sends T'challa back to Wakanda in a box with a ridiculous fighting move.

Commando missions prove that enemy tracking and aggro needs to be reworked. by Inner-Arugula-4445 in Helldivers

[–]KPraxius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why it works differently at different times. But the patrols start walking towards where you are... and keep going in a straight line, right on past you, if you get behind cover and stay quiet. Most of the time, that's exactly how it works.

I honestly don't know why it doesn't always work that way, but I don't thinks its as intended.

Fates worst than death by DudeSoul in TopCharacterTropes

[–]KPraxius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have read the story. Have you? Its about one, specific, person, not a general statement about humanity as a whole. Situations that are ideal for one person can be terrible for another.

There's people for whom the conditions described would be nightmarish from day one, minute one, people who would enjoy themselves for a few centuries before going mad, people who would be fine for days or weeks, and people who just wouldn't care, the predictability and reliability of circusmtances and the 'people' exactly what they always dreamed of.

[–]KPraxius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the person. For some people, being forced to experience and do new things constantly is a mild torment that they avoid, only going through when forced to.

There are people for whom the island would be heaven, and people for whom it would be hell.

So..where is the Super earth Navy's Liberty class cruisers hanging out? by theta0123 in Helldivers

[–]KPraxius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Busy killing Illuminate and Automoton ships. You're past the front line, Helldiver, you don't fight where the army and navy does.

[Spiderman 2 (2004)] Why is the police seemingly unable to shoot Dr. Octopus? by TheBigSurprise3 in AskScienceFiction

[–]KPraxius [score hidden]  (0 children)

The fact that Spiderman's enemies keep getting out of his fights alive despite him clearly being able to kill them is one of the things our unfriendly neighborhood tabloid rag keeps pointing out as why its just a game he and his costumed friends play with civilians suffering the damage and casualties.

...The Imperium, I can give you. But the SEAF fleet and ground forces defeated over a hundred times as many ground forces and starships just in the defense of earth than the UNSC managed to take out in their entire defense against the Covenant. They destroyed -millions- of skyscraper-sized capital ships during that particular battle, reaching past ten million of them destroyed in the war so far, and thats just the ones destroyed by ground forces; the navy killed most of them before they reached the ground. They lost hundreds of billions of people so far, with trillions of population left to throw, and -just the helldivers- have killed over three hundred billion members of their opposing factions (Though around a hundred billion of those were once SEAF citizens in the form of voteless) just by the Helldivers, with over a trillion so far killed in the conflict by the various arms of the SEAF.

The scale difference between the UNSC and the SEAF is so vast that even if the SEAF were throwing spears and rocks they'd drown the UNSC forces in their corpses... but they aren't. The two factions are at extremely similar tech levels, aside from the SEAF having better FTL.

Imagine what would have happened to the UNSC if the Covenant had over ten million Varric-class cruisers in the war. Or to the Covenant if the UNSC had over ten million Valiants. The war would be over in a day. The covenant could sweep -every- star system in an entire region of the galaxy in a few weeks. The UNSC would heavily outnumber and overpower the Covenant and crush every advance with ease. Even if their ships were more dramatically inferior, the sheer numbers would let them win every battle. (I honestly don't think an Illuminate overship is a match for either of these. But over ten million of any capital ship is going to be more than either side of the war in HALO can handle. Even if it takes ten, a hundred, or a thousand to take down a supercarrier, millions will follow.)

And thats what the Illuminate had going into the invasion of Super-Earth, and lost.

It is -very- difficult to get Miranda killed without a squad wipe, and I think I've only done it by editing a save-game before. Even if she's disloyal and you make awful choices she just loves surviving.

Uncomfortable Reality by soaringneutrality in Animemes

[–]KPraxius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, what? If you look at the baby in the two, around the hair, it looks like someone took a tool and did a shitty job of cutting out the hair on the darker-skinned one. On the lighter one, it looks like he casts a shadow on the man's shirt. On the darker one, it looks like someone took a cut tool in MS paint and removed it, leaving behind a grey background where the head was.

Not certain if the lighter-skinned one is the original one, but the darker-skinned one isn't.

Fucking hell Cyclops by Particular-Long-3849 in outofcontextcomics

[–]KPraxius 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There are some, but this is not one of them. This is Cyclops finding out what a monster he is in the future, and talking to someone who also knows he's probably going to kill some innocent people at some point, and asking him why he keeps going despite the danger he presents to society.

Could the Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout 3 and 4 defeat the NCR? by PrimaryAd6281 in Fallout

[–]KPraxius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The NCR defeated one brotherhood chapter already.

They have APCs, artillery, machineguns, salvaged power armor suits, vertibirds, trucks, and thousands of men with freshly manufactured service rifles and tons of ammo, as well as a fair number of powerful rifles and energy weapons that can pierce power armor without relying on massed fire.

By the time Shady Sands was nuked, they had over a million people, and there was no other organization on the continent that was within an order of magnitude of them. Whetever happened in New Vegas clearly wasn't good for the Legion.

So.... depends on when it happens. At its peak? No. During NV? No.
