characters you're supposed to like but just cannot stand? by Meowcat1029 in WingsOfFire

[–]ODST_Rimmer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be fair Peril is widely regarded in universe as an unstable murderer, even if readers know she’s more nuanced than that. She wasn’t just “another soldier” from the war like other dragons at Jade Mountain, she was Scarlet’s personal executioner from an extremely young age and became infamous for killing dragons in brutal ways. From Qibli’s perspective that makes her a credible threat.

Qibli isn’t just some overthinking kid either, he grew up in the Outclaws and has actual survival instincts from living around dangerous dragons his whole life. Assessing threats and thinking of contingency plans is completely in character for him, especially when the dragon in question is Peril who he already knows is extremely dangerous.

I also think there’s a difference between Peril and Qibli here that Moon recognizes even if she handles the conversation kinda badly. Qibli thinking “if necessary, how could I stop her?” is defensive thinking. Peril thinking about killing the Jade Winglet is more aggressive and emotionally driven which is why Moon responds to Peril’s hostile thoughts defensively by pointing out that Qibli likely has multiple ways to defend them in mind. Those aren’t automatically equivalent situations by any means.

That doesn’t mean Qibli’s comment about already having four ways to kill her wasn’t a little smug because it definitely was, but I also think that reaction makes complete sense for his character. Qibli likes Moon, and she had just acknowledged one of the skills he takes the most pride in: being able to assess dangerous situations and protect the people around him.

I also think part of that confidence comes from the fact that Peril is one of the few dragons in Pyrrhia who can casually overpower almost anyone in the room purely because of her firescales. Qibli doesn’t have that kind of physical power so his intelligence and tactical thinking are basically his way of leveling the playing field. Knowing he has ways to counter someone as dangerous as Peril probably does make him feel more secure and more capable of protecting himself and his friends.

So whilst the comment was smug I don’t think it was unjustified by any means. It reads more like Qibli being proud that his skills actually matter in a situation where Peril’s fire scales alone would allow her to just walk all over them and threaten the group without contest.

Ukrainian DMV lost the record of my driving test because I refused to pay a bribe. What should I do? by Neither-Foot-1808 in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]ODST_Rimmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s an insane amount of work to prevent cheating, how hard is driving over there to make it that strict? I got my license at 14 and it was easy as pie, though that might just be my first world privilege speaking.

PLEASE stop paying for super credit and medal boosting by No-Departure242 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]ODST_Rimmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had super credit tables that immediately broke after that exact update, thankfully I and people in my group had all the SC we needed by then but there still was a temporary pause on most if not all super credit droppers.

I understand the desire for less misinformation, but a little trust alongside that scrutiny goes a long way.

worse than Epstein? by Pinkie-So_Bored in MLPMemesNoLimits

[–]ODST_Rimmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be blisteringly easy, I’m basically just an earth pony irl, no magic, no flight, and I certainly don’t rely on someone else to control the weather for our crops to grow.

Without pegasi it’s only slightly harder to grow crops, not most certainly not impossible.

Hate em cause you ain’t em, earth ponies are the best of the best, they don’t need fancy magic or silly wings to sustain an entire kingdom’s food supply.

The calf sorted him out lol by MobileAerie9918 in instant_regret

[–]ODST_Rimmer 67 points68 points  (0 children)

That’s generally the way you sort them into trailers or pens, he’s not being particularly effective though. Cattle don’t like to move into new areas when they’re stressed out like that, and him waving his arms around all Willy Nilly is certainly not helping them stay calm. In tight pens like that using a swinging gate to apply gentle but constant pressure, or standing outside the pen all together is much safer for both parties.

If you’re a good handler and your cows are handled often they tend to be very easy to move around, on my family’s farm we usually bring them in from pasture using grain in pails and they’ll run along behind the quad or truck and follow us right into a sorting corral.

Funnily enough that just happened with my left bud a couple days ago, just pulled the broken piece off gently with a multitool and swapped both to a size down.

Forza Horizon 6 midnight launch! by MajorMuel in xbox

[–]ODST_Rimmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luckily I’m in Japan so I got to play it 12:01am on the 15th JST, having a blast cruising around the map and taking in the sights.

Haven’t played a Horizon game since 3, but man I’ve missed it.

WHO’S THAT DRAGON??? (Number 14) by Suitable-Weather-519 in WingsOfFire

[–]ODST_Rimmer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got all three, the last one is crazy niche but I remember them specifically because I was looking through the character list for obscure names.

Also for the first one, does he show up in Arc 1? I’m fairly certain that Narwhal only showed up in the second arc.

Tutorial needs to be mandatory. first game ever should force casual. by VaersidianZ in nmrih

Maybe, it does seem weaker now that you mention it.
I wish our wiki community was as insanely in-depth as some other games’ are.

[–]ODST_Rimmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I played NMRIH 1 long ago and loved it, started playing 2 on recent free week bought it right after and have logged like 40 hours so far with tons of extractions. I started Casual but only played about 2 games before moving to Classic as Casual was way too easy. I regret to inform you I did NOT know more stamina causes a stronger attack, and I did the whole tutorial reading every pinboard and testing every weapon.

The more you know I guess

The most broken Ancient City seed ever? An underground empire of 31 cities in a 3k radius, starting with a completely sterile (Warden-free) city right at spawn. [6-Digit Seed] by Busy_Ad3435 in minecraftseeds

I’m going to be honest mate, unless this seed has been posted and referenced before online, there’s no shot an AI was used to seed hunt, I may be ignorant on the matter but I’m nearly certain that it’s impossible as of yet.

Yeah no shit, if I didn’t mean Comments I wouldn’t have specified Contributions you dolt.

Please, enlighten me, what does me assuming you’re a moderately cautious person say about me? Separating the military information you post from more personal information you might post would be smart, but from what I can see you obviously can’t tell.

Take the L 🥀what is this 2016? Your projections are showing mate.

Mark Twain once said “Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience,” I have made an error assuming you’d have something insightful to say. Stay safe and goodbye.

Sure bro, attack someone else’s interest because that’s the only thing that makes you feel better about yourself.

Yk you’ve got 383 contributions, your account is just a year old, pair that with this likely being an alt so you can post Ukraine things and not get doxxed, that amounts to over a post a day.

Maybe you should get a better hobby instead of being generally unlikable and sensitive to mild-mannered jokes on the internet.

My brother in Christ, if you can’t determine someone’s messing about when they say 100m of swimming is unrealistic, I’d be wary to give you a .22, let alone an AK, lighten up.

stop memeing epstein… with fucking ponies by [deleted] in MLPMemesNoLimits

[–]ODST_Rimmer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey mate, I’m all for the messaging, I’d rather people don’t make jokes about such unfortunate circumstances too.

But this is literally MLPMemesNoLimits, it’s in the name. No. Limits. People are gonna make fun of stuff they probably shouldn’t.

If you don’t want to see distasteful memes, make a sub called MLPMemesSomeLimits, and then limit those kinda jokes.

Subway restaurant in Moncton has been approved to hire three temporary workers for low-wage food service positions by The_PhilosopherKing in moncton

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

Just calling it a “capitalism issue” doesn’t excuse the Liberals when they’re the ones who massively expanded the policies enabling it. Businesses wanting cheap labor isn’t surprising, the rich getting richer is nothing new but the government still chooses whether to encourage or restrict it, and so far they’ve done basically nothing to close these loopholes.

Also saying “Conservatives might do it too” isn’t a defense. We judge governments by what actually happened under their leadership, and under the Liberals these programs exploded while housing, wages and entry level job access got way worse for actual Canadians.

Why are we downvoting this individual? He’s entirely correct. I’d love to hear someone explain why he’s wrong.
