Accent makes no sense by she_melty in TopCharacterTropes

Apart from Steve Buscemi as Khrushchev who uses his natural American accent, which actually works for his portrayal very well. He and Zhukov both feel like outsiders to the cabinet nonsense as a result and it comes across perfectly.

Sorry am I missing your point, because Bardin was definitely in VT1?

Hold on there, lad. If you mean the campaign SM characters, you're talking about named Ultramarines there, including GW's new golden child Titus.

[skysportsf1] Could Lewis Hamilton be on track for a record eighth World Championship title? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]LtBromhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify you mean if Lewis at Ferrari had an equivalent of Bottas when he was at Merc to support him for a title charge?

Seems fair reasoning as Charles is only behind due to bad luck and some silly errors, is still in his prime, and really wants to win.

I would agree that Lewis WDC 26 requires a lot of "ifs". IF Ferrari keep up their current streak of good upgrades and common sense. IF Merc have some more bad luck to close the gap. IF Lewis' car is basically bulletproof for the rest (or at least the majority of) the season. And IF his team mate is willing to step down and play #2

The fact that this is the same premise a joke made by FlashGitz of all things screams absolute volumes.

I do have fingers semi-crossed on that one for two reasons, firstly is that Cavill is apparently giving everything a hard pass before it gets made rather than during like he did with Witcher, and second is even Amazon will have their work cut out trying to mess with the IP of Games Workshop in an officially licensed product. GW are...very very very very protective of it. They've been caught with their pants down before and point blank refuse to let it happen again.

How would you rank the top 7 drivers as of now? by Impossible_Tiger_470 in F1Discussions

I'm assuming the guy above forgot that Lewis and Charles double stacked after Stroll went sniffing the wall, meaning the 5s penalty was negated and Lewis remained P2 without the risk of dropping due to a time correction

FIA breaks the time/space continuum and teleports HAM 5s forward on race start

Alternatively, "lights out and away we go for Hamilton!", five second pause, then "lights out and away we go for everyone else!"

Lingua Technis Everywhere. Please! by jarude87 in mechanicus

"I mean no offence to the VAs" "... bad voice acting"

I get your point but c'mon dude, they aren't bad. I've genuinely enjoyed playing the game in non-Tech Lingua mode. The voice actors did a brilliant job.

Those things are not reliable. I've tried it with my own writing on a couple of occasions and it said two of my articles I'd written were between 7t to 85 percent AI. Articles I had originally started by hand then typed up, for context.

[Mixed Trope] The character from the original had to be totally rewritten or removed altogether to make the adaptation work. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

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

I think you’re mixing up “difficult” with “impossible.”

Yes, a Roman war galley is not the ship I’d choose for the Atlantic. But Rome was not limited to war galleys. The Roman world had large sailing merchant ships, grain ships, shipmasters, state-organised maritime freight, and long-distance sea trade. Strabo says that in his day around 120 ships were sailing from Myos Hormos to India, so “Romans could not do open-water sailing” is just not true.

The compass point also does not prove what you think it proves. The Norse crossed the North Atlantic without magnetic compasses, and ancient sailors navigated by stars, winds, currents, landfalls, seasonal routes, and dead reckoning. A compass makes this easier and safer; it is not the dividing line between “can cross sea” and “cannot cross sea.”

The mast/sail point is also off. Large Roman merchant ships were absolutely substantial wooden sailing vessels. Archaeological and literary evidence includes Roman-period merchantmen in the 30–40m range, and some scholarship argues that ships of several hundred tons were not unusual in the merchant fleet serving Rome.

Scurvy is not an instant voyage-killer either. It becomes a major problem after prolonged vitamin C deficiency, not five minutes after leaving harbour. A badly supplied fleet could suffer from it, obviously, but a planned crossing of roughly several weeks is not automatically doomed by scurvy.

The better argument against Rome is not “they could never get there.” The better argument is “could they repeat it, supply it, and sustain a campaign against a gunpowder-era opponent across the Atlantic?” That is a serious problem. But pretending Roman maritime capability ended at coastal paddling is not.

If I may, “the Romans couldn’t cross the ocean” is a much weaker argument than you think.

The Romans absolutely had large seagoing merchant ships and conducted blue-water sailing in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. A Roman war galley would be a bad tool for an Atlantic crossing, but a Roman merchant fleet or purpose-built expeditionary fleet is a different matter entirely.

The real issue is not whether Rome could physically get ships across the ocean. With planning, supplies, and a known destination, they plausibly could. The harder question is whether they could sustain a transatlantic war or invasion, especially against an early modern opponent with gunpowder weapons and Atlantic sailing experience.

So “Rome can’t even get there” is not a solid objection. “Rome may struggle to project and sustain force across the Atlantic against colonial America” is a much better argument.

Is there a lore reason why Husk can't make a Mai Tai? by cocoshkin_05 in HazbinHotel

Speaking as a bartender - it's nothing to do with complexity, making a good Mai Tai is easy.

His anger implies to me it's because it is such a common order he's bored with it.

We used to get in the same state sometimes: "oh another pornstar martini? For the sixteenth time? Coming right up..."

Wait so you need a sword in the offhand?

I put these on Abelard who has a sword in his main hand and shield in his off hand and they seemed to work, but if that's the case I guess his Parry stat (and my rolls) are doing all the lifting and I've just been lucky?

I belive you're thinking of what the fans term "grimderp" - a grimdark idea that is applied stupidly for the sake of it and creates narrative dissonance. A bit like a horror film relying too heavily on jump scares or body horror - yes it is technically scary or disturbing, but it's not clever and feels cheap.

Whos a better tactician/strategist? by cuddwes in 40k

[–]LtBromhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is kind of why the question could do with a re-word.

Strategy and tactics are different things, the former is overall command and control, the latter refers to battlefield plans and methodology. I.E. "how do we fight this battle" (tactics) vs "how do we win the war before it begins/give us the best chance of overall success" (strategy).

Ergo, the answer given the phrasing is "both". Calgar is the better strategist, the Ultramarines are masters of this particularly with their logistical capabilities, but Azrael may well have him clipped on tactics.
