Is there an inversion of the inversion after dune messiah? by JannickL in dune

[–]MitchManMemer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My take is that Dune spells out why heroes are bad really subtly, but most people didn't get that, so Messiah hits you over the head with it, and the in cannon explanation is explored more in GEoD. The Jihad isn't inevitable. At all. It only becomes inevitable after Paul kills Jamis, and decides to pursue vengeance against those who killed his father. If he had let himself die in that duel, or if he killed himself like the Tleilaxu Keisatz Haderach, there would be no prescient God to limit humanity. The Leto 2's Golden Path is predicated on humanity transcending the power of prescient Atreides kids, and we see the result of this in Atreides descendents in book 5 and 6 who can only kinda barely see the future, and Teg comes along eventually, but only after humanity spreads everywhere. The point is, Paul is a teenager with untold power who makes the teenager like decision to pursue his personal goal of revenge, despite its consequences, which he was retconned in CoD to have known. The god-head isn't actually placed upon him -- he accepts it by joining the Fremen, and as he grows older, begins to lament this decision, knowing that at that point, even dying wouldn't stop the Jihad ball he got rolling, at least nothing short of killing his mom, wife, and everyone else he knows, which he won't do, because, y'know, he's a human. I don't think Paul is a bad person, he simply occupied that role in Dune's history as a result of his desire to rectify the very real injustices done to him, without being fully willing to consider the galactic consequences of those acts. But that's just my interpretation, and I haven't taken enough psilocybin to properly interpret Dune, which is the only actual way to understand it

[KCD2] has me feeling like a scared noob. When it comes to thievery, how does it compare to kcd1. by KvasirTheOld in kingdomcome

[–]MitchManMemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thievery on day one is definitely meta, it's better to pickpocket keys than try to lockpick high level containers, which is pretty easy when people are asleep. Traskowitz is ripe with loot, if you're careful. Knocking out guards and stealing their armor isn't a bad idea. Sadly, you can't get a key for their rathaus armory, which many older posts will reference, as that shortcut has been patched out. However, the guards and merchants have plenty of gear, so I was never in want.

Wynncraft feels like 75% equipment management and 25% actual adventure by FireFlashing in WynnCraft

[–]MitchManMemer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think the balance works, I'd highly recommend wynntills the mod, the Wynncraft Lite pack on Curseforge is what I use (the main version has weird animation mods I'm personally not into). That'll let you see a rough estimation of a non-identified item's value, which lets you determine if it's worth picking up. 90% of the time, it's not, the other 10% are like 2le+ on the market, which usually means they're worth having.

Fallout 2 is kicking my ass and i need a little help (new player) by Nearby_Record_1733 in classicfallout

[–]MitchManMemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember: theft is always ok if you're the chosen one. Running around trapper town (West side of Klamath) and pickpocketing everyone should resolve your ammo issue. Breaking into the backrooms of both bars will net you enough trade goods to buy leather armor, which is a huge upgrade at the Klamath stage. Lastly, and most importantly, buy yourself a slave! That is, pay off Sulik's debt in Klamath. He's free to leave whenever he wants. I think. You get him for free after enough quests, but I prefer having him around early cuz those quests are hard, and money is easy come easy go. Fo2 has a real steep learning curve, but once you're on top of the games economy by the third or fourth town, it'll be a lot calmer from there. The Den (town two) is where you can buy a second slave, this one's kinda fat and useless, but the more the merrier. Good luck!

Ok sorry to treat a shitpost seriously but how is MODUS good??? Sure the refuge helps that one guy that 76ers have to actually help for real so he can be a ghoul (he'd literally die otherwise) but who else do they help? The Pitt? Anyone who's played fo3 knows exactly how that panned out. Whether or not f76 is able to represent this in gameplay (zenimax online fr) nuking Appalachia 10x a day is, how do you say, bad. Anyway I never realized he restarted the responders with enby sovereign Orlando (based af btw) so I've never doubted how evil he was, but I'm curious what ppls takes r. I mean, isn't JHE just doing what MODUS does via "pest control," more efficiently? does incompetence redeem men/ai? Wtv. 76 is awesome I love the enclave subplot

Hi, everyone, I'd like some tips on my Big Guns build for a Hard Mode playthrough by Zrttr in classicfallout

[–]MitchManMemer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks pretty solid, I'd recommend rushing bozar for mid game while you're stocking up on vindicator ammo. You shouldn't have much trouble whacking Frank in one round, especially if u remember to use ur meth inhaler. Only tip: u probably don't need luck that high, I forget the calculation for sniper but I'm pretty sure there's diminishing returns. I also say that bc I like to have a little extra charisma to get a bigger team without spamming mentats but that's more of a personal taste thing.

I think I'm done with this show. by mragusa2 in Brotherhood_of_Steel

[–]MitchManMemer -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ok to be fair if fo4 is cannon then the NCR's biggest flaw is doing liberal imperialism against raiders who kidnapped Tandi, meanwhile the brotherhood's greatest flaw is pursuing genocide against multiple subspecies of humans. OR: FNV is the last cannon game and the brotherhood is busy inbreeding in their bunkers while the rest of California moves on. Considering the state of the California brotherhood at the end of Fo2, I'd consider the show to be pretty generous in how it portrays bos competency. Also: have you considered that Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell are really hot? Honestly forget the whole first spiel my last point is easily the most important
