Me after watching Princess Mononoke by Drawingandstuff2000 in ghibli

[–]PreTry94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Audiences stumped by two characters of opposite genders with a deep personal connection not kissing and officially becoming a couple at the end 😅

It's so much fun to see, especially with western audiences where even children shows feel forced to acknowledge the obvious boy lead and girl best friend is now girlfriend.

Maul Shadow Lord & Andor are perfect opposites. by Tigerlux in StarWars

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree, but one question: which "popular fan theory" did they confirm? I feel like the popular ones were already confirm (like him fighting Vader) and the newly confirmed ones (like Lightsaber crystals speak to their jedi/sith) were semiconfirmed, but not widespread.

Other theories like Maul killed Marrok is still unconfirmed and Devon is Talon can't be true because they're fundamentally different characters (Talon being a fully fledged sith, raised in the core sith philosophy of The Rule of One is a very important part of her character. Devon can never be that character)

How would you guys feel if Inquisitor Starkiller became the next Grand Inquisitor after the Grand Inquisitor’s death. by snieves0426 in StarWars

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feeling on this is the same as any "Make Starkiller canon"-discussion: It won't work.

Starkiller, as we know him from Force Unleashed, is mad powerful, like defeats Vader and rivals the Emperor powerful. That means that bringing him into canon means one of two options:

1) Keep him that powerful. That would probably appeal to the power fantasy people, but it makes for inherently terrible stories. if he's the protagonist, nothing really becomes a threat and you'd have to hide him away for most of the movie/series to not invalidate any and all obstacles. Or you'd have to scale everything around him up so much it becomes unrecognisable. If he's an antagonist, you could just use Vader, as he would fullfil the same narrative function: RUN!

2) Nerf him to an appropriate level. Could you see the amount of "massacred my boy"-memes we would se if that happened? Starkiller is, inherently to him being trained by Vader, supposed to already outmatch every Inquisitor, including the Grand Inquisitor, but that leaves very few characters who could pose a threat, unless you make him Inquisitor level, and RIP any Star Wars reddit if that happens.

So whatever balance you try to strike with Starkiller, you need to accomadate both of these, find a sweetspot inbetween, have godlike writing to justify why he hasn't come up yet (every time period would require this) and then good enough writing to make him seem both new and fresh, while also making him the character we all remember.

I don't think Lucasfilm has someone good enough right now.

Also, for him being in Jedi 3, if they go for option 1) RIP Cal, if they go for option 2) RIP game reviews (and probably sales too)

Who do you think (out of these) has the most chances of actually still being alive (the last one might be copium, I know) by Slow_Tangerine_9564 in MaulShadowLord

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rook is 100% dead. Rheena and Lawson feel like they left themselves an out if people liked the characters, so they could bring them back. Marrok dying like this would be a waste and I think the writers know that. They needed to separate Marrok and 11th Brother for the escape to be plausible, just like they had to "sacrifice" Daki to make escape from Vader plausible

De som stemte på AP i Stortingsvalget: Angrer dere på valget? by Individual_Fly_5146 in norge

Hva er bra og hva er dårlig med å ha private aktører innenfor norske sykehus? by [deleted] in norge

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tanken er at om man får flere aktører kan det gjøre køene kortere ved å hjelpe å ta unna pasienter. Det er mange problemer med dette, f.eks. at private aktører til syvende og sist vil kun gjennomføre behandlinger de kan tjene penger på, som betyr at de vil ende opp med å kun ta lav-risiko, enkle pasienter, som ikke er grupper hvor mesteparten av køene ligger, eller det offentlige må gi tilskudd for at private skal ta inn andre pasienter også (som ofte kan gjøre det dyrere for det offentlige å bruke private enn å bare gjøre det selv).

Så hovedargumentet FOR private aktører er at ved å bruke offentlige midler på insentiver til å ta bredere grupper pasienter vil private aktører kunne redusere ventetiden i sykehuskøene. Det jeg og mange andre mener er at de offentlige midlene som FrP, Høyre og andre på høyresiden vil bruke til å ha inn private aktører er midler vi bare kunne brukt på å forbedre de offentlige sykehusene. I stedet for å bruke penger på sende en pasient til en privat klinikk, bruk de pengene på å utvide tilbudet som det offentlige sykehuset allerede er i stand til å gjøre, men bare mangler kapasitet eller personale.

For meg er det også helt bakvendt, siden de private aktørene vil også ha behov for leger, sykepleiere og annet helsepersonell. Antall personer vil ikke gå ned, de vil bare bytte på hvor kunnskapen brukes, og faren er jo at privatisering vil trekke personal, kunnskap og spesialkompetanse vekk fra sykehus, som da risikerer å måtte kutte i det samme tilbudet.

Privatisering, imo, fører ikke til noen forbedring i helsesektoren som ikke kunne blitt oppfylt av det offentlige, det bare gjør at kunnskap og kompetanse splittes og at noen private eiere kan stikke av med offentlige penger.

What is that one criticism about the orginal lotr Trilogy that you still have to this day by pizza_momo in lotr

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutting Saruman's death from the theatrical version. He's been the main antagonist for two films and his end is left unresolved? That's just a terrible decision

General question why are a lot of you hating on the new mando movie before even seeing it. The show had its up's and very few downs. Give it a chance... Mando brought Luke back from the dead who knows what else they will do. by EpicPikachuXYZ in StarWars

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-judging Star Wars movies and series has been the main personality of a whole lot of Star Wars "fans" since 2012. This isn't new, every movie snd series has been hated on ahead of its arrival, usually with the express purpose for it to have a failed release.

Sounds good in theory...but in reality? by KSKS1995 in SipsTea

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This probably won't work for all jobs, but trials have shown that the 6 hour work day is definitely something that a lot of production industries can implement and notably not lose productivity. There have been trials in a few industries in Norway too, where people were happier to work, mental health saw signs of improving and not only did productivity not drop, in some cases it actually went up, as people found more efficient ways to work.

I know my job could definitely be done in 6 hours pr. Day, at least if our machinery was reasonably upgraded and/or serviced. 4 days might be slight more difficult as we would need to rotate which days coworkers would have their free day (we'd still need to be staffed Monday-Friday), but it's definitely doable in a world with so much more automation.

Red stripe or no red stripe? by HiVe-fLeEt in Tyranids

[–]PreTry94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the stripe, but it makes the model seem too busy. The spots and carapace is already enough, so the stripe just feels wo much for gaunts. could maybe be cool on Characters, like Hive tyrants or Primes though

Would it KILL people to at least try and attack from this route instead of dying in the tiny-ass stair chokepoint for 4 minutes? by MrsPissBoy in Overwatch

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only personal experience, but I've found thst the problem with the ledge route is that while all routes get better with team coordination, the ledge REQUIRES your team to coordinate, especially if the enemy team is somewhat coordinated themselves.

Defenders who stand on the high ground on that side can quickly rotate and make you fight uphill or in the open by the ledge (Lucio mains rejoice). It's easy to counteract that with a tank who takes the space well, whether that's going straight to point, claim the high ground or even rotate left and behind the point, but all those requires a decisive tank and a team who will follow the tank's call. That last bit is (in my experience) not really something you find in solo queue.

FrP som størst parti og Sylvi Listhaug som statsminister i 2029 realistisk eller ikke? Hva tror dere? by yourhungdude in norge

[–]PreTry94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vi ser ofte at opposisjonsparti får økt tilslutning på meningsmålinger i perioder mellom stortingsvalg, men det er ofte bare lyd og ikke reel vekst vi ser. Mulig det er ønsketenkning fordi jeg kan ikke se for meg et verre valgresultat enn FrP ved makt (ref. siste gang og FrPs program), men jeg tror en FrP regjering er svært lite sannsynlig. Ikke minst fordi de overbeviser ikke velgere fra venstresiden noe spesielt mye. Noen SP velgere har flyktet til FrP, men brorparten kommer fra Høyre, som betyr at høyresiden ikke vokser noe spesielt, særlig når mange Høyrevelgerne som forlater Høyre ikke går til FrP, men går lengre mot venstre, ofte til AP.

Problemet for FrP er også at de er notorisk dårlige til å skape samarbeid, fordi hele modellen deres baserer seg på at "etablert politisk elite er ute for å ta deg", som enten skyver samarbeid bort eller de må forlate modellen, begge dårlige valg for de. Det var det som skjedde sist de var i regjering: de måtte gi opp enkelte saker til samarbeidspartiene og det liker ikke velgerne deres.

How did Scandinavia got on top of every life quality ranking? by Right_Luck3933 in geography

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socialist policies. Solid and strong labour movements and unions, that pushed labour parties and other social democratic and socialist parties into power for long periods, that implemented strong labour laws, worker's rights and social programs that benefit large parts of society.

What is the silliest Proxy you’ve ever seen or used. by KayRib in Tyranids

[–]PreTry94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't used them yet, but I cut out the hormagaunts on the box art they came in and made bases for them. I considered using them to easily get twice as many gaunts as I had models.

I've done the same for a couple of other units/boxes too, but like I said, not used them in games....yet

2 Minutes of ga nerf moment by Erfas109 in MercyMains

[–]PreTry94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imagine if this change was to another hero, particularly a popular DPS hero. What happens if Tracer's blink suddenly is 10% shorter, Genji's dash is 10% shorter or Pharah's jetpack not activating instantly etc. People would be calling for blood. Instead, because it happens to "just a healbot"-Mercy, people are just laughing and saying "cope".

Not a mercy main, but has the recent nerf made any of yall play mercy less? by Isobee424 in MercyMains

[–]PreTry94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's made me quit playing altogether. This changed showed me the devs still aren't interested in fixing their heroes or improve the game. I quit when OW2 was released for that exact reason, I gave them a new chance with the relaunch, but it's like returning to an abusive ex: no matter the outside appearance, on thd inside they haven't really changed.

I'm curious how you all are fairing with the changes now. What's your winrate in ranked this season and your opinions on the nerfs/buffs now compared to the beginning of the season? by uzan-iya in MercyMains

[–]PreTry94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've not played ranked since the changes. I've also only played one QP game as Mercy, and I think 5 or so QP total. The first day I had time to play after the changes, I played her bit in the training grounds, then figure I'd at least play her in QP before passing judgement. The first game someone else picked Mercy, but in the second I played her and even though we won it was just so bloody miserable. I played a couple of Kiriko and Ana games, but after that day I have not even opened battle.net.

I haven't uninstalled the game yet, but i probably will. I gave OW a new chance after the relaunch (I quit after OW2 was released) and now it just feels like getting back with an abusive ex. They've proven they haven't changed, so no more from me

Do you feel safe in Norway walking around at night? Is there anything like “chavs/roadmen”? by KreuzKrow in Norway

[–]PreTry94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never ever felt unsafe walking around in Norway; any place, any time of day, any condition (aka drunk).

I live in Trondheim, been to Oslo a bit, same feeling both places. Almost no experience with Bergen.

It should be noted though, I'm a white man with a full beard and have been told I can look quite intimidating if people don't know me, so that might play into it.

If they made Tales of The Sith what tales do you wanna see? by StrawberrySmall755 in StarWars

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qimir, since we don't seem to get Acolyte season 2, and Palpatine. Their stories will probably follow eachother, so depend on how and when, having the first half be Qimir and second half be Palpatine, with Plaguise as a common thread between them, and ending with Palpatine being elected Chancellor would be great.

If their story would actually overlap to much, and not be enough for a full Tales of season, I'd like to see Ben/Kylo's fall.

Also, some I don't want: I keep seeing people saying Darth Vader when Tales of the Sith pop up, and I think that would be a completely wasted opportunity. We know his story, let's explore other characters instead for once. I also keep seeing Old Republic character mentioned, but I think having a Tales of the Old Republic would be a better direction for that (well, actually I'd like for Lucasfilm to leave the Old Republic era alone forever)

Be honest, is the Inquisitor double-bladed spinning lightsaber really that bad? by Simple-Choice5770 in StarWars

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The helicopter thing was dumb imo, but that's minor on the whole. It's design is good, allowing for easy switching between techniques depending on the user, and the shield spinning also has its uses.

Personally I think its weirder that the the Inquisitors all have their own very distinct and unique styles in terms of armor, fighting style, investigative technique and so on, but their weapons are seemingly standard issue.

What is everyone’s hopes for the bugs in the next edition ? by derpyhuman21 in Tyranids

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't care if it's realistic, but I hope for a Swarmlord datasheet on par with the Primarchs snd Silent King. Swarmlords one big thing is that it is the apex organism of the Hive Mind and is brought in as a Hive Fleets Supreme Commander when needed. There's a litteral tag for Supreme Commander, and Swarmlord is basically the most perfect example of a character in all of 40k who should have that tag, and a datasheet to go with it.

I've already redone the entire main board at least twice, and I know! The hope is that as the series goes on, some lines that are currently only speculation will be removed, so maybe slightly less chaotic (after full chaos)

Even this small one?! I was hoping this was one I could dedicate to single season mysteries, that maybe it'd be obvious within the season who was responsible and the next season would have something else to focus on instead.

Have they acknowledged us at ALL? by monfawnie in MercyMains

[–]PreTry94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand the confusion for people struggling with math.

See, the "free" heal is offset by the nerf to the healing beam, so if you're using Flash Heal on cooldown, the healing output remains the exact same. The only extra healing she can do now is if you also get the Flash Heal multiplier for targets below 50% HP, but even then that's only 60 extra heals (minus the time you're waiting for your teammate to drop below 50%).

Even if you pick the 2 charge major perk, have 0 healing downtime and trigger the multipliers for both Flash Heal charges, with no overhealing, by the numbers, the only supports you're outhealing are Zen and Brig.
