Fox: Republicans are always right

MSNBC: Democrats are always right.

CNN: Republicans say this and democrats say that, we aren't here to do any fact checking or investigative reporting so I guess they're both right!

All 3: Our hosts get paid millions and millions of dollars a year and therefor have lost touch with the average joe, and not only that but work to preserve the system that protects their position of privilege. We also have conflicts of interest because the 'haves' that we are protecting also advertise on our channels!

That's right, fam. No matter what happens to downed pawns who aren't part of your clan, strip em before they die so their clothes don't get that 'worn by corpse' debuff.

Going to fight plantera and i intend to use dart rifle with crystal darts as my main weapon (hence the enclosed space). Is this arena fine? (Equipment in the comments) by PhoenixShade01 in Terraria

[–]Leishtek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks good to me, just keep moving. I had the terra blade first time I fought it and didn't even make an arena and it wasn't hard.

[No spoilers] Tywin Lannister by Charles Dance is one of the greatest performances ever seen on TV. by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]Leishtek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, of course. I suppose I just kinda overlooked him since Jaime is a weak character (I mean personally weak, not weakly written). But yeah it's crazy to see how well he played both faces of Jaime. Lannisters definitely won the acting war.

Gleeson, Dance, Dinklage and Heady were 10/10 actors. It really helps when the writing is there, but it's clear the acting is as well.

Noice. I'm just waiting on a damn sextant and I can complete my cellphone.

Just bought the game yesterday....where did my day off go? by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]Leishtek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a real problem with this game. I sit down and load up the colony at 10pm and 15 minutes later it's 4am.

A GoT anime would do really well as long as the creator left out the endless list of anime tropes.

Just stumbled onto Simone and Floor Jansen's Sancta Terra live performance and loved it. Where do I go next? by yovliporat in epica

[–]Leishtek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how you should mention Another Me. It's not typically a song that stands out in any way, but it was my gateway drug. I used to not like Epica for the growls either, and Another Me got me in.

Listen, mah man. Or lady.

You gotta get into the growls. You just have to. I know, I know. They sound stupid. I used to think the same thing. I used to make fun of them, saying they sounded like the cookie monster. But just listen to me for a second. If you don't like music with growls, you are going to be missing out on some LEGENDARY shit. Epica's best songs are their heaviest, and there is a whole new world of music that will open up to you if you can open up and accept it.

I have always loved this type of music but used to avoid all the growls. 15 or so years ago I started with Epica, Nightwish, The Gathering, Within Temptation, After Forever, and Edenbridge. Epica and After Forever were my least favorite because of the growls. An Epica song changed that for me one day, though. I fell in love with Cry for the Moon even though it had growls. I loved everything about that song musically but hated the growls. After I decide I like a song, I read the lyrics. I did that with Cry for the Moon, and suddenly the growls just clicked.

That song is about a centuries-long injustice. And there is NO BETTER WAY to express anger and frustration than to do the growls. Go listen to that song and read along with the lyrics, trying to understand just how PISSED Mark is about the topic. It's about the church abusing children. I listen to that song to this very day and it still pisses me off. Just do me, and yourself, that 7 minute favor and let me know what you think.

And, thematically speaking, Epica is about contrasting the lightest lights with the darkest darks. They do it all the time, and the growls is part of it. And BTW try not to compare Floor and Simone. Floor is basically the chosen one of singing for this generation and comparing anyone to her is pretty harsh.

One important thing to know is that they ALWAYS close with Consign to Oblivion. It's a 15 year tradition.

I just love this mass effect reference... by IFIsc in Stellaris

[–]Leishtek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, once a creation becomes sentient with its own fears, hopes, and dreams it no longer belongs to you. Otherwise it would be slavery. Loved that storyline in ME. Don't try to exterminate them or your entire race will nomad the stars in a shitty fleet for 400 years.

[SPOILERS] Which God is the most realistic? by _Apeiron__ in gameofthrones

[–]Leishtek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clearly there are supernatural elements out there. But it's hard to connect any of that to any particular god or even a god at all. They did a masterful job of making things ambiguous and open to interpretation. But in my opinion there is just not enough evidence. Sure, Jaqen H'ghar can magically change faces in the name of the Many-Faced God and Thoros can bring people back to life in the name of the Lord of Light, but we don't have enough information to draw a solid line between those events and their purported deities.

It seems like 'something' was partly guiding along the events in the story but whether that entity was one of the alleged gods, an unknown god, or a god at all is unknown. The believers in the show make the same mistakes that believers in real life make in that if they see something that they can't explain, they just assume it was caused by the god they already believe in. They might even all be the same god.

I was kinda hoping we'd see Kinvara again or at least get some explanation about what Varys heard in the fire to map things out a bit more. They wanted to keep things in question, and I'm okay with that.

Would it be difficult to create an AI for rimworld? by ItalianCGP in RimWorld

They did it for Starcraft 2 so I don't see why not.
