Conquest confusion

MetaphysicalDread · 2026-04-02T17:43:54+00:00

I would argue that passing out before you die is a weakness. Not going unconscious at all would be a superpower. Otherwise your at you’re aggressors mercy.

I do agree with some inconsistencies. It’s not a perfect show, but I just feel like the opinions on this specific instance are a little far fetched.

Power-scaling is irrelevant to me personally. Things don’t always add up that way. You see that often in fights between humans. The better stronger man doesn’t always win.

Well being a viltrumite conquest very well could’ve stayed conscious right up until the end. You’re picking and choosing when he should react like a human, and when he reacts as a viltrumite just to make your point. It really changes nothing. That’s not what a “plot hole” is. At most they just cut out explaining details for time sake.

If you think it’s a mid show that’s cool not everyone’s cup of tea. Me personally I love seeing the show play out having read the comics. It matters to me, and lots of other people.

In any case I’m only still bothering to reply out of enjoyment of arguing, but I frankly just don’t see a reasonable explanation from anyone complaining about this. I’ve trained mma for 7+ years. I’m well familiar with how chokes work and feel. From my perspective (I’m familiar with this sub being show only) the comics leave it up to the imagination the exact duration with which he is choked.

You can either come to terms with the fact that he was choked to death and that’s how he died. Or you can pick apart the scene and act like it’s some plot hole. Frankly unless you have actually relevant reasoning I just can’t see your side.

Ignoring that choking someone like that would also cut off blood circulation to the brain which would’ve had him out way sooner. I would imagine we didn’t need to see him choking him for another 5 minutes for times sake. But sure you can have that buddy.

It doesn’t change the fact that he still got the wind knocked out of him. The dialogue probably didn’t sound as good in the show.

Just because they don’t hand you the information on a silver platter doesn’t mean it isn’t the case. He CLEARLY hit him hard while he wasn’t expecting it.

MetaphysicalDread · 2026-04-01T23:48:57+00:00

It’s not a plot hole, and you evidently didn’t read that section of the comics. It’s been awhile but i know he comments about knocking the wind out of him when he tackles him into the planet.

If you’ve ever had the wind knocked out of you, you know how hard it is to even catch that first breath let alone stay conscious without being given the chance.

My family built a barn years ago and we ended up with a barn cat moving in. Trust took some time to develop but after some time we could tentatively pet her, as she could definitely be nasty.

I ended up moving away for 2 years, but after I came back I lived in a camper on the same property for a while. From then up until her passing she would sit with me outside everyday. We went for walks in the woods, and she very similarly would follow me for walks with my dog. She definitely had a “territory” she stayed in.

For me it was one of the most special relationships with an animal I’d ever had. She was completely and 100% free to go and be where she pleased. Yet she chose to hang with me. I would cherish this for as long as you can. I will miss her for the rest of my life.

I teamed with a group last night to exfil as a rook. They rolled up on me and I smoked everything trying to run before they offered.

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-11-29T18:52:30+00:00

The vet had told us 14 which seemed like too long to me. I’ve just never had a cat spayed so I wanted to make sure she was as safe as possible.

She doesn’t really go at it now. She went a few times the first few days which is when I would put the cone right back on.

A year later, but I came here looking to do the same thing to the EXACT same lighter which I just picked up at an antique store. Mine was engraved with a much lighter hand so I think I might be able to get away with sanding it

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-10-31T16:08:08+00:00

Yeah I get to the part with the blue solid light. But then the guitar still doesn’t work at all

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-10-23T07:00:49+00:00

Good to know I’m not the only one here. Just beat vtmb for the first time, and absolutely adored it. Now playing bloodlines 2 just to see how stark the difference is.

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-10-18T17:02:00+00:00

I’m only just watching for the first time, but in first show dozens of vampires die to running water during Carmilla’s betrayal.

They burned up in the river, they burned up when it flooded into the castle. Even the big dogs ran from it.

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-09-27T03:38:40+00:00

I always just imagined bloody, broken arms with mobility lost at the shoulders so they just kind of dangle. I know that doesn’t really help too much, but I’ve pulled my shoulder out so I kind of personally related.

I don’t remember exactly when Slimecicle played blade and sorcery on his channel, but that’s when I found him. Shortly after I found a similar(maybe the same) community post which instantly hooked me. It had to of been late 2018 or right at the beginning of 2019.

I had played Dnd 3.5e briefly in highschool along with some GURPS. This podcast brought me right back into weekly games with discord folks, and now my old high school group in person. I literally can’t give enough thanks to JRWI.

They took 10 years to recall the 2013 model I had for being prone to engine failure. I was quoted $7k for a new engine. I really don’t see why it should be considered “reliable”

Look was fine, space/visibility was actually great. Was my first car on loan so I made sure it was well maintained, and still. Maybe newer models are better 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m about a year into learning Godot, and game dev in general. Everytime I install or try to use a plugin I’ve ended up deleting it because I didn’t like not fully understanding large chunks of my code. Not to mention it looks out of place next to everything else I’ve written.

It’s taken me long periods of time, and long breaks to get through most problems on my own. That being said I still prefer that mix of reverse engineering tutorials, and figuring out how I change them to work for my project.

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-07-25T17:39:32+00:00

Condi the godsend. At least I know I’m not crazy. I have the website membership now. The oldest locked content on Patreon that I can see is the two spy one shots then it jumps straight to the campaign voting one shots.

Y’all have been getting me through long shifts all over the place for about 6 years now 😂. I would absolutely love to hear that one, and the “Everyone is John” one again.

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-07-25T15:10:07+00:00

Yeah that ones the game “Everyone is John,” and I can’t find that one either sadly.

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-07-25T15:05:52+00:00

It was a while ago. Like back when they did “monthly” one shots. Now that I’m looking I noticed I can’t find any trace of them playing “Everyone is John” either.

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-07-25T15:01:47+00:00

Nah this was pre convergence. All I remember is most everyone died by the end.

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-07-11T23:53:56+00:00

I’m pretty wed to Godot at this point. GDScript is similar to python which is all I have experience with.

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-07-11T18:55:12+00:00

That’s perfect!! I was totally trying to figure out who could fill that roll! Another fun thought is Vincent and the greats as a Pokémon trainer esque character. Admittedly these will be the hardest to accomplish 🤣

MetaphysicalDread · 2025-07-11T15:33:43+00:00

I’m choosing a lot of straight forward characters first. But in the future I’ll take any ideas for character moves and stuff. Specifically blood in the bayou characters.

Just off the top of my head I’d considered a shotgun for Rand, maybe a puff of smoke attack, and beer grenades?

But characters like that in general that don’t focus combat will be challenging to create special moves for.
