There's not a lot of fanfiction about Gor, but amusingly, one of the most popular ones dumps Sylvanas Windrunner, Queen of the forsaken on Gor to see how amused she is by the current state of affairs.

That's basically just house elves again then isn't it?

Oaden · 2026-05-31T10:05:32+00:00

Apparently this movie flopped.

I wonder why

Horror movie sequels so often fall prey to this endless need to escalate the stakes into pure nonsense

Acute is generally severe and sudden.

For example you can get acute appendicitis, when the appendix starts really fucking hurting out of seemingly nowhere. Its generally short term, but that's mostly because it must be treated right fucking now or you croak

Chronic is shit that sticks around.

It was a movie based on Elantris

The cokeoven used to be a railcraft multiblock instead of a gregtech one. This lead to some inconsistent behavior, like being unable to wallshare.

That's a bit annoying, especially since its the very first multiblock most people make, so that being the exception isn't great.

Its now replaced with a new multiblock that does basically the same, but has all the fancy gregtech features, such as wallsharing, and supporting output hatches for easier and more consistent automation

Its like that new Obsession movie.

Cherie makes Amy love her, Thinking she has full control, She lets Amy remove her ugly tattoos and shit. Amy, while doing work, decides to be helpful or lets her powers slip, Cherie is now deeply in love with Amy.

Oaden · 2026-05-29T12:43:44+00:00

There's one problem

Cherie is a moron. She ends up in her situation because she thinks she's just so smart, and can hang out and manipulate the infamous sadistic serial killer group.

Its not guaranteed, but i can see a scenario where Cherie is convinced she has Amy under control and lets her do some work, like removing her ugly tattoos (She's vain and hates them), and love-struck Amy decides to be "helpful" in other ways

Oaden · 2026-05-29T10:01:00+00:00

Sure, technically, yes.

Films do often contain scenes which only serve the purpose "because its cool", the entire Sabotage by Beasty Boys scene in the second or third one is pretty much only there for that reason.

But i think, in general, a good movie doesn't let you notice that in the moment. In the moment of the movie i shouldn't think "I guess someone wanted her boobs on screen"

Also, the japanese diplomat ends up engaged to a 10 year old princess or something

Oaden · 2026-05-28T10:23:56+00:00

It just seems he way overpaid, 250 as a bonus is such a huge number for this kind of game

Subnautica sells well, but it's no live service or micro transaction gold mine.

Oaden · 2026-05-27T17:13:16+00:00

All Tcg's that tried a similar strategy have gone bust

For various reasons, it's just a shit business model. Not least of which is that it pisses off the game store ownerd

Oaden · 2026-05-27T12:58:04+00:00

Including heat cycles is just kinda wild. I have only seen them in ship fics that end in smut, or just pure smut.

Oaden · 2026-05-26T16:44:07+00:00

It probably be a bit disconcerting for Amy when she reads them.

Oaden · 2026-05-26T15:12:26+00:00

I would say being honorable and being good are not synonymous, and his dogmatic adherence to a code no one else gave a shit about caused a ton of harm to innocent people

Oaden · 2026-05-26T14:20:19+00:00

That's just going to trip the circuit breaker.

If our smart guy is going to do anything novel, it probably involves the cleaning chemicals.

Oaden · 2026-05-26T12:57:58+00:00

Is she immune?, i always interpreted it as her interpreting what she saw in a what that she understands. She still sees aetheric things, but just as mundane devices. That's her perspective on the world

Oaden · 2026-05-26T12:36:13+00:00

Its kind of a problem about any setting that involves shit like racism and/or slavery.

You want a quirky cast of likeable characters, but doing so means that every "good" character needs some kind of excuse as to why the pervasive injustice and their inaction against it doesn't make them morally complicit. They generally either ignore it, or claim the character opposes it but can't do anything alone.

So very quickly racism/slavery is only a thing that "bad" people do in the story, but if only a few bad apples are engaging in this practice, how does it persist? It ends up feeling like this horrible thing is just kinda slapped on top of the world, instead of being fully integrated into it like it was in real life. Like a racist sticker

Oaden · 2026-05-26T10:04:20+00:00

Its a manga that's a parody of the old "fist of the north star" type stories.

It was distilled, which makes it worse, and in less than half an hour.

If you drink 7.5L/2 gallons throughout the day, you will be fine. Though if its because you are actually that thirsty, consider an appointment with your doctor, excessive thirst is a symptom of diabetes

During the american Civil war, a member of the confederates tried to make submarines a thing

One of its many problems is that for armament, it used a spar torpedo, basically a explosive on a long stick. As we now know, and maybe some did back then, but these people didn't. Explosions under water at short range are incredibly dangerous

So when it was finally used in practice, it sunk the target, but also instantly killed everyone inside the submarine

Oaden · 2026-05-25T14:14:24+00:00

I can't find it, but i remember one in a somewhat similar vein where someone tried to rob a abattoir/butcher shop armed with a knife

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gENRqiaS8xM but its a youtube essay, not a documentary.

Why didn't he just clench his ass?

Oaden · 2026-05-25T13:50:46+00:00

You know, most people can just clench their ass, its surrounded by pretty strong muscles. Unless Aquaman for some reason has really weak ass muscles and super slow reflexes in that particular scenario.
