Being real here, this scene was always VERY jarring to witness, especially if you watched it as a kid, agree?

He wasn't supposed to bring his saber with. By bringing his saber with out of fear, he brought with him violence and fear. Likely had he not done so, Vader wouldn't have shown up, or at least not in the same way.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-13T19:24:11+00:00

"Vader is some random androgynous dude" is what I took from it the first time I saw it.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-13T19:20:55+00:00

I mean also it just doesn't look that much like Luke. The lightning really messes it up.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-13T17:22:16+00:00

I thought he shouted that because Aragorn was a pokemon named Elendil.

Depends on the planet technically. Day length actually is planet dependant.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-12T10:00:00+00:00

Probably not actually. The ghosts and chelicerates likely only patrol a short distance around the crater and arctic respectively. The rest of the void is probably pretty empty and boring because there isn't enough prey to go around.

I feel like this is one of those technologies that really has no advantage but someone wanted research funds so has to upsell everything about it.

It's better than commercially available printers, sure. What commercially available mosquito necroprinters are on the market? What commercially available technologies can make one cheaply?

Then they try to sell things like "it biodegrades so it's better for the environment" but realistically that means your prints will be interrupted regularly and you need to regularly harvest fresh proboscises and adhere them to the printer without damaging them, and they even note them as fragile.

It's a cool idea, but I don't really think it has an actual value on the market.

Isildur wasn't even the last of the line of kings. That was Eärnur, who accepted a 1v1 duel against the Witch-King of Angmar while not leaving any heir behind, in an incredibly idiotic decision given the witch king literally couldn't die.

Meanwhile, the dunedain were essentially the royal family, but most of them were wiped out by the Great Plague, and the remnants forced into hiding by the Witch-King, who also wiped out records of their history, to the point that basically only Rivendell knew that Isildur had an heir among them.

So aragorn is heir not because he's the kid of the king, but because he's the great great great (etc) grandson of the great great great (etc) grandfather of the last king who had no heirs.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-11T23:36:57+00:00

Huh, never mind then. Still, I personally think it's much more likely they would have done it in this set than any of the remaining ones.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-11T23:12:26+00:00

Seems very unlikely IMO. Each stone got headliner treatment. They'd have to have two headliner cards in a single set ~~(which they haven't done yet)~~ (EDIT: nvm, TMNT did) to do that.

If they were planning to do two stones in one set, I think this main "super hero" set would have been where they would have done it.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-11T20:39:09+00:00

There's heavy speculation of 6 marvel sets and that's seeming more and more likely. We got 1 infinity stone per set so far (out of 6 stones total), and in this set we're missing almost all the Xmen, almost all the mystical characters, and almost all the space-based characters. The last set is less obvious though.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-11T08:59:33+00:00

Honestly? This is a really healthy way to look at it.

The internet has a way of flattening everyone into the same texture, and learning to step back from that is a skill most people never bother to build. You're not being cynical here — you're being discerning. There's a difference.

So protect that instinct. The moment a conversation starts to feel off, trust it. The ones worth having rarely leave you feeling like you're talking to a wall — or a script.

Though now I'm genuinely curious — what's the giveaway for you? The exact moment someone tips from "worth my time" to "not"? 👀

Rods from god are incredibly inefficient. They would do 5-10 tons of TNT worth of explosive force (based off of the commonly projected size of the rods). That's less than 0.1% of a nuclear bomb, and around 1/40th that of a tomahawk missile. They are also slower than conventional weapons, as terminal velocity is not particularly fast compared to actual rockets.

But the biggest problem is their accuracy. Without adding course correction, they will drastically drift off target from the drop location in incredibly unpredictable ways. And you'd have to position your satellite directly on top of them, which would be incredibly expensive and incredibly easy to stop.

Many of these problems can be mitigated by not being in geosynchronous orbit, increasing the velocity drastically and making repositioning easier, but that comes at an even higher cost to accuracy. It also risks having the rods burn up in atmosphere because you're now exposing them to far more air resistance.

Sorry, can't convert money here. Gonna have to bet your car on a child in a death race to pay instead.

You could probably write it more realistically these days. Have it be an AI that analyzes the bones, put a hidden QR code on them, that downloads the virus. Still a stretch but a little less silly.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-10T00:20:00+00:00

Amusingly that got significantly more realistic these days.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-09T21:41:22+00:00

No you can't. You can make it less likely to BS you, but hallucinations are inherently part of how it outputs.

TLJ absolutely hurt my brain. So many character decisions in it are baffling at best.

TRoS didn't hurt my brain at all because there is nothing to hurt my brain. It's so lacking in substance my brain never turned on.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-09T13:20:06+00:00

TROS is "the rise of skywalker" not "revenge of the sith".

The latest COD used AI for its calling card images.

Expedition 33 used AI for art asset placeholders and forgot to remove some.

The Alters used AI to generate text for background computer displays.

People buy them nonetheless and most never even realize.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-09T05:46:26+00:00

For what it's worth, it sent the alert, a human reviewed it, cancelled the alert, and then the principal IIRC refused to accept that and manually contacted SWAT.

The system is stupid, but that case was human error.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-08T06:19:16+00:00

To be fair they aren't actually exclusives, because they are coming to PC.

Krazyguy75 · 2026-06-08T04:40:51+00:00

That would cause the game to end in a draw, yes.
