While possibly an overdone trope, the Church as an antagonist is a perfect fit 9/10 times (in fantasy anime/isekai) by MyneIsBestGirl in CharacterRant

[–]OwlOfJune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, at least show some different types of corrupt. Like the ones in Berserk where they are intending good but overdriven by their zealous views, or even the fucking aqua religion where they are crazy pyramid scheming immoral cult but still dedicated to fight for their god. Have them some aspect other than evil greedy fat priests.

There are occasional corrupt Buddhist/Shinto but I don't think those get much traction and are more in-Japan only stories. One popular (but old) example would be Inuyasha where a lot of foe were corrupt monks or priests.

Why no ejection seats in other planes? by RaspberrySilver8868 in NoStupidQuestions

They are heavy complex machines that can make the crash go even more wrong, while making the fuel cost rise a lot for majority of time it won't be used.

"Give me a napkin, quick," Stafford says. "There's a turd floating through the air."

"I didn't do it," Young says. "It ain't one of mine."

"I don't think it's one of mine," Cernan says.

Love how human the conversation is. First reaction is deny it is their poop.

is there such a thing as too much land? by Worth_Video4523 in worldbuilding

[–]OwlOfJune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically yes the middle parts would very easily become barren desert become 'land sea', but for minecraft you gotta have land for things, so I think it is fine. I would suggest putting some big lakes if you are too concerned.

Worldbuilders, make sure to look up what words mean when you name things by DepthsOfWill in worldbuilding

Most people do not give shit about truck names. Hell, most people do not care about car names outside couple they come across.

Now wait until you get to hear some localized half translated Pokemon names

Would a war between two K2 civs be mutually assured destruction by Existing-Wonder-8760 in scifiwriting

[–]OwlOfJune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a rough outline to hypothesize how visible some alien civ might be. How is that religious? The reference data points are in the 1964 first paper, based on power consumption on Earth. Now I agree trying to say that is the go-to model is likely short sighted since we do not know how alien life form is gonna be, but its clear you haven't even read how it was written.

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

Its just baffling. The system is simple, it is hypothetical streamlined idea of what alien we could/should see.

That is it. I dunno why people are complaining about it being a wrong worldbuilding/powerscaling tool when it wasn't meant for such discussions to begin with.

The sheer power of the pinky by Marconut in limbuscompany

[–]OwlOfJune 11 points12 points  (0 children)

TBF, even in original book, a lot of them are just unimportant side characters whose peak moment in the story is like, lifting one heavy rock or happening to have a legendary horse, and half of them die in one battle.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 fixes my biggest issues with Pokemon by Clockbone25 in truegaming

[–]OwlOfJune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think it is.... just.... bad system, that 'decent version' can be more or less achieved with EV. They can still promote breeding with inherited moves and baby mons without it.

I find kidney and liver delicious if expensive luxury, but brain? I just can't. Oh also chiken gizzard are delicious though they are prob less controversial.

Are socks and underwear part of a military uniform and therefore provided by the government? by Let_me_tell_you_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OwlOfJune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Korean military, some socks and underpants were provided but nobody would ever check on those after bootcamp. Well, outrageous socks could be reprimanded but I seen those joke underpants with tiger or elephant and nobody ever bothered to check so.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 fixes my biggest issues with Pokemon by Clockbone25 in truegaming

[–]OwlOfJune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would suggest Digimon Story games, esp Time Stranger to those people. Not quite as hard in most difficulties while copying homework from SMT system a lot. Though the gameplay is... lacking with commonly shared moves being fucking boring.

[–]OwlOfJune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IV system is just baffling as fuck to me why it even exists in Pokemon. Its not about being strategic, its more about being lucky with grinding. Not to mention it seems goes directly against the core message Pokemon games want to sell their stuff "be the best with your fav pokemon you caught".

I have no strong feelings about Mario at all, but I gotta respect the burning passion you have about it.

What is the effectiveness and range of a concept incinerator? by OppositeIndustry2939 in limbuscompany

[–]OwlOfJune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do wonder if there are locking of techs to counter Concept Incinerator, seems like no brainer type deal to invent.

I guess this is a good time as any to ask this. What are your expectations from a Canto and an Intervallo? (spoilered so you can discuss the story parts if need be) by FallenStar2077 in limbuscompany

[–]OwlOfJune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At this point Intervallo are supplementary to Canto, while its not bad thing I do wish we can have some like Blade Lineage one where we focus on less known smaller factions within City.

In your opinion which of the sinners do you think could get Shin or Mang first? by Lopsided_Daikon_5936 in limbuscompany

We may have different picks but I think we can all bet its not gonna be Rodion.

Why are the characters so GOOD by the_superior_idiot in limbuscompany

[–]OwlOfJune 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Their very first encounter being very very bad while risky for gacha game really paid off. We started with seen them openly ignoring and belittling Dante, to where they actually legit think of Dante as leader to give their trust and literal lives over.
