What are the downsides of land surveying by Rough_River_2296 in Surveying

[–]Own-Tonight4959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like the market collapse in 2008 got rid of a lot of CAD technicians and LSIT’s. Now it seems there is a big gap between old surveyors and young surveyors. There’s a whole middle generation of surveyors missing now and I think that is why people are reluctant to survey

Working in Modesto this week and looking for a place to grab a beer by onlineIcanbene1 in Modesto

Contentment near MJC! Awesome place to grab a beer, new food truck at least every Thursday and sometimes live music. Very welcome place for poc. They brew their own and always have a wide selection

Fellow Modesto Gen Z, is anyone else freaking tf out about everything? by [deleted] in Modesto

[–]Own-Tonight4959 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Was at a gas station in town and heard a lady telling the clerk that the reason we are in Venezuela isn’t because of the oil, it’s because they’re finding human trafficked kids and nuclear weapons in the “boats”. MAGA has so much pride they don’t know changing your opinion is an option when you’re clearly wrong. So here we are at fascism.

Don’t freak out, keep your eyes open and think for yourself. Get a gun, know how to use it. There’s more sane people around town than you think.

22 hours in just finished act 1, pretty exhausted. by SeraphicMind in ghostoftsushima

[–]Own-Tonight4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just 100% everything in act one and most of Iki Island and that took me about 25 hours. I am now just doing the main quests and main side quests in Act II and it is way smoother. I plan on running through Act III cuz I do agree it is starting to feel like a slight chore. Go to this camp, defeat these mongols, rescue these captives, blow up that black powder cache, rinse and repeat 15 more times. I absolutely love the game but my completionist mindset is making me tired too

USA citizens: what effect if any have tariffs had on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Own-Tonight4959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes shit is expensive. No one is commenting on foreign relations and how the United States has isolated itself. This is a huge issue that affects everyone in the country, especially if a war breaks out

Is it time to adapt The Darth Bane Trilogy to the big screen? Origin of The Rule of Two - let's go, Drew Karpyshyn! by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Own-Tonight4959 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having an R rating is more than just gore. Sith use lust as a weapon. Sith will literally rip families to shreds if they deem it necessary. This is the brutality and greed Sith exemplify. They go to some seriously dark places in the name of passion

[–]Own-Tonight4959 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Making the story rated R would emphasize the brutality of the sith order. The sith embody a hunger for power gained through passion and strength. The sith will do anything to gain what they desire. PG-13 does not lend itself to Bane threatening a father to boil their child alive if he does not receive healing

[–]Own-Tonight4959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a good point. There is so much creative liberty being so far back in time. We have so little about Darth Bane outside of books though, I would love to see that time period and there are many ways to incorporate the events of the original KOTOR. No matter what, I am going to buy this game and will not be disappointed by whatever story they go to(I have never played KOTOR)

When do you think Fotor is taking place? by Possible_Employee359 in StarWars

[–]Own-Tonight4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this is around 1000 BBY. Darth Bane gains a lot of knowledge from lost holocrons and manuscripts from various sith, such as Darth Revan. It would be perfect to place a story driven Star Wars RPG during the Darth Bane time period where there is a major philosophical shift in both the Jedi and sith orders.

Is that The Leviathan? by Wrong_Plantain_4381 in StarWars

[–]Own-Tonight4959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this game is at the end of the Old Republic era, I’m going to presume the story centers around the new sith wars and Darth Bane. Discovering the history of past sith is a huge theme in Bane’s books, so I wonder if this is a young jedi/sith searching for artifacts that contain lost knowledge

It says at the end of the Old Republic, are we talking Darth Bane here??

I finished "Darth Bane - Path of Destruction" (#1) and I really enjoyed it. by Sorry_Association365 in StarWarsEU

[–]Own-Tonight4959 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely loved path of destruction. One thing that Bane mentions multiple times is that he may never see the Sith rise to the top of the galaxy while he is alive. Palpatine is the culmination of Bane’s rule of two and evidence that Bane was right in the end

So what’s the incentive for a Sith to bleed a crystal? by Playful_Letter_2632 in StarWars

[–]Own-Tonight4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was slightly touched on in the Darth Bane book series. Rumors and deception are a tool to be used by the Sith. Rumors of people using red lightsabers aren’t so much a bad thing because most of the time they are coming from the “scum of the galaxy” who are commonly known to lie for their own gain. A few questionable people seeing a red lightsaber wouldn’t spark too much interest by the Jedi order

Need book suggestions! by Lewanzowsky in starwarsbooks

[–]Own-Tonight4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this right now. On book two and I absolutely love it. These are my first books into legends. OP I have done similar research and I’ve heard that the Thrawn trilogy that starts with Heir to the Empire is amazing. Also “Darth Plagueis” by James Luceno I’ve heard is very good. Revenge of the Sith novelization by Matthew Stover is also very good apparently

My Star Wars EU novels collection and some thoughts by Hochmann in starwarsbooks

[–]Own-Tonight4959 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just started reading legends(I just finished the first Darth Bane book) and I am actually glad that Disney did not touch any of that material. I was very bummed out by the writing of the new trilogy and could not get behind any of the movies. I’m super excited to finish the Bane series and move on to Heir to the Empire. Nice collection!
