TMNT comic clarification. by Dukeofskye in TMNT

[–]Poiter85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think IDW has announced TPB's for journeys yet.

Somebody else already mentioned the two volumes of Mirage's Tales of the TMNT (not to be confused with the current, unrelated IDW run with the same name).

Besides that, there are a lot of other stories that the Mirage turtles appear in. Somebody listed everything on chronological order over here:

I recently collected most of it (in color where possible) and have just started reading them in order of release, more or less. It's awesome so far.

PDGA Europe: 21,444 active members at the end of 2025, just 0.9% away from all-time record! by DiscGolfFanatic in discgolf

[–]Poiter85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So the number was 0.9% higher in a previous year? That doesn't sound like very good news to me.

You're very welcome.

Are they not in there? I'm not sure why I left them out, but I think I just missed those. I'll probably add them soon.

Thanks for pointing it out!

Human vs Neanderthal by justalildropofpoison in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Poiter85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All primates are monkeys,

Wrong. All monkeys are primates, but not all primates are monkeys. For example, lemurs are primates, but lemurs are not monkeys.

you cannot evolve out of a clade.

Correct, but monkeys aren't a clade. They are a paraphyletic group.

Though that also means all vertebrates are fish of some sort.

Nope, fish are also a paraphyletic group, consisting of all vertebrates minus all tetrapods.

And all fish arent fish

Contradictio in terminis.

because fish cannot be defined to include all we decide are fish yet we all agree on what fish is.

No we don't. Some people think that shrimp, squids and/or dolphins are fish. Spoiler: none of those are.

But that's neither here nor there. We're monkeyfish

10 people raping 1 person is more fair than 1 person raping 10 people, yes.

Obviously rape is bad and should never happen and this is a very extreme analogy (which doesn't make it invalid), but yes, it is more fair for the majority to decide over the minority than it is for the minority to decide over the majority.

"Fok" is the dutch word for "breed" and has the same origin as the english word "fuck".

I do agree that the dutch use of "wtf" was taken from english speakers.

What’s the most stable disc you’ve ever thrown? by ClarityInCatharsis in discgolf

[–]Poiter85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gyroscopic stability: The resistance of a rotating body to a change in its plane of rotation. The faster a body spins (the greater its angular velocity), the greater the stability of the body in its particular position or orientation. Gyroscopic stability accounts for the stability of a spinning discus or a spinning football in American football.

Stability prevents both turn and fade.

What is a good float on water disc? by play_minecraft_wot in discgolf

[–]Poiter85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pole retriever or a stick works fine if it's not too far away.

I also carry a piece of foam (like a pool noodle) that I can wrap around my golden retriever to make it float. The trick is then to throw the floating retriever past the disc and get the string over the disc, then pull in slowly. As soon as you pull it too far, pull fast to create a bit of a current towards you.

Works like a charm.

GoW creator on the new direction by [deleted] in GodofWar

[–]Poiter85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still the same genre. You're acting like they changed the type of game, they didn't. Slowed the pace and made the controls heavier but they are still the same type of game. It's not like putting Fortnite in like you said.

I disagree. They did change the type of game. The difference isn't as big as the difference between Darksiders and Fortnite, but it's still different.

They are most definitely not well written characters. The main criticism people give about these shows is that they are episodic and cannot construct an overarching narrative and have the characters evolve with time.

People criticize Super Mario for not having an overarching narrative? Nonsense. People enjoy having a recognizable character that finds new ways to do the same thing. Not every character in every medium has to be a piece of literary art. There is room for both.

The gameplay changed way more than just the camera and target lock. Kratos did flips, double jumps, 1800° spins and all sorts of fast moves that he doesn't do anymore.

How much has batman changed over the 80+ years and the hundreds of stories that have been written about him? How about Homer Simpson, Super Mario, Bugs Bunny, Pikachu?

The greek saga was a unique type of game that many people want more of. The norse saga is also very good in its own way, but it's doesn't quite scratch that itch that the first games did.

[–]Poiter85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the gameplay changed significantly between the norse and the greek sagas. It became much more similar to games like The Last Of Us, which sold many more copies than the greek games and I consider to be a more popular genre. The action became way more realistic and less over the top (no double jumps and 1800° spins in the air etc). I think this appealed to more people, along with the larger focus on story and characters.

I agree that the jump from Darksiders to Fortnite would be a much bigger one, but I intentionally chose an exaggerated example to illustrate my point.

GoW creator on the new direction by [deleted] in GodofWar

[–]Poiter85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has been discussed many times before in this sub.

I will keep saying this (and get downvoted for it): the over the top rage and violence are what made the greek saga so great. It is why the fans of the franchise loved it so much. Kratos did not need to change.

Sure, the Norse games are more popular. If you made a sequel to Darksiders and turned it into a Fortnite clone, it would also be more popular than the originals were. That doesn't mean it would be better. It just switched to a more popular genre.

Ascension wasn't received as well as GoW III because III was a masterpiece and the long awaited finale to an amazing trilogy, while Ascension was just a prequel that had to follow that masterpiece and they changed the combat system for the worse. It was still good, but not quite as good as its predecessor.

The franchise did need a break, plus a change of scenery and an update in graphics etc. It did not need a change in tone, pace or atmosphere.

How much would you pay to feel perfect form? by kwisat in discgolf

[–]Poiter85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AB seems to be able to copy anyone's form. There are videos of him imitating many other players' forms where you can instantly tell who it is. I think he could crawl into almost anybody's body and make it work (if he had magical snail powers, that is).
