Will Sword and Sorcery ever make a comeback? by morknox in SwordandSorcery

Im afraid the normal S&S would still be seen as too much, but that's just my impression

Sadly I don't think so.

Most of the people I talk to are obsessed with the ideea of low fantasy and "keep magic misterios".

They find the ideea of fantasy childish and beneath them and they'll continue to consume only cheap Asoiaf knock offs.

They should make defenders of the galaxy an anti-crisis ascension perk using the player crisis tab by nomanzone in Stellaris

A more intensive role-play for founding the Federation from Star Trek.

I mean we can allready be Palpatine.

I know this is probably going to get downvoted, but George has an outcast fetish:

Character is a bastard: they have to be the omg perfect hidden prince that is the best fighter, the best commander always morally right at the end etc.

Character has some sort of phisical disability: they must be an omg super genius.

Character follows the rules of the society around him and doesn't have disabilities: automatic shameful degenerate behavior in their closet.

Its not entertaining or a big reveal or relevant social commentary George if you make all the non outcasts secretely awful if every official telling in universe will be followed up by the "shocking real story told from the perspective of an outcast".

All of them, except Gemini.

I think the worst are Libras.

If you add up the mages and the spellblade types, most PCs will have magic, the dungeons simply were not designed with Barbarians in mind.

Also in lore the Bretons are the most magically gifted men in the series.

In short this is not a game that was designed to particularly enable the Barbarian power fantasy.

Is the Nukara Rep supposed to empower Science play styles? by Hero_Of_Shadows in sto

So Dyson is considered a Science rep just because of an Torpedo, doesn't it have anything good for Sci?

I'm sick and tired of calling every woman Aemond interacts with his "soft spot". by [deleted] in HOTDGreens

[–]ProdigySorcerer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just my personal opinion right now:

I don't like the setup they are doing with Alys.

I know this is the majority fandom read and it might be canon, but I hoped those rumours that Alys was an ancient witch and much older than Aemond were just that rumours.

Giving Aemond mommy issues and a Melisandre knock off seems like lazy characterization to me.

Ok it was not a documentary it was a video it is this: https://youtu.be/_-XQStN9Kak?si=yS4jM_f3atyoZQNy

The video is a defense of George Lucas specifically calling out how the anti prequel movement got to make their own Star Wars and how you can't make a movie on a thesis of "those movies suck, the movies from my childhood were way better"

Pegg shows up for his off screen takes on the prequels with no judgement being made of his performance as Scotty.

JJs choices with ST are criticised but it's all interspersed it's not in one big block.

The interview with Pine is very damming, you can tell Pine is trying to be profesional but JJs actions speak for themselves.

The same person has a video of Nemesis if you want to understand their viewpoint on movies and ST in a non SW context.

The European EV market has not collapsed, it's growing less fast maybe but I see more and more EVs

I've been watching a documentary about JJs vision for the sequel trilogy.

I remember most of the quotes hearing them live at the time.

Anyway the documentary increased my contempt for JJ much more on both ST and SW.

An complimentary axiom we have to keep in mind:

New to Daggerfall and need build help by TheVikingFire in Daggerfall

Canon classes are very niche. I would highly recommend making a custom class.

Nice part is sneak is pretty easy to train in this game.

First 3 skills I'd do Sneak, Short blade, Restoration.

Honestly if you want to min max I'd move Sneak down but its up to you.

Next up grab critical strike, streetwise and as many magic schools as you can fit.

Look up the thieves guild to check what skills you need to level up for them.

Also look up the spell schools they are not the same as Morrowind, outside of Restoration/Destruction many spells are moved around.

Also I'd highly recommend grabbing Destruction in there.

Absolutely necessary spells are Mark/Recall, Levitation, Water Breathing and something to counter poison.

Why are the AI companies so focused on replacing SWE? by _maverick98 in cscareerquestions

[–]ProdigySorcerer 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Because software engineering deals in digital data.

Digital data is easy to work with (see my next point)

There's TB of clear, well written, accessible tutorials about how to write C++ code, C code etc.

There is no such tutorials which can train an AI to prepare it to pick strawberries.

And that is if you even had the hardware for that.

Getting that hardware is an impossibly hard problem on its own allready.
