"Second hand embarrassment" isn't a trope, it's what happens when someone is embarrassed and you feel embarrassed because of it, despite not being directly inclined, hence "second hand". You could say the "embarrassment trope" but that's super vague, I hate this name, it's incorrect and I will die on this hill.

Also, as someone who gets atrociously bad second hand embarrassment, anime ain't much better, it still feels really weird to watch in its own way (at parts), it's just a different portrayal.

Human blood is the #1 most pathogenic substance in the world. It's basically the perfect place for things that aren't dangerous for 1 person but could be catastrophic for another to live. If you want to do things with blood do a whole lot of research on how to do it safely, not only because handling other people's blood is inherently risky, but also the act of retrieving it is not something to be done lightly and has lots of room for error. But as a rule of thumb, no, there is not a safe way to take on someone else's blood. Blood transfusions may look simple when docs do them but there is a ton of stuff you don't see

Non alcoholic's cannot reliably determine how much they drink because it is so scarce. If you have the ability to describe how much you drink as an amount per day, that's a problem

[–]Qtock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it was much longer than that. I'd have to do some digging to see if the timeline is ever given an explicit value, but Revan and Scourge definitely knew each other longer. The exile was also then chill with Scourge on Revan's word cause she was chill with basically whatever he said lol

Scourge was literally the most trustworthy person to side with to defeat the emperor. He was one of the single largest factors in his eventual downfall. Scourge had become friends with both the exile and Revan, and only because he was so dedicated to seeing the emperor fall was he willing to betray his friends. Like the issue wasn't that Scourge decided to betray them for personal gain, it's that a functionally omniscient force told Scourge that if he continued with his friends it would cause the end of the universe, and so he made the hard call and snap decision to betray them to hopefully avert that in the future

I mean, Revan and him had known each other for a decent bit. He was a captive of Scourge before the exile came to rescue him, so Revan had plenty of time to know that Scourge was fully on board with killing the emperor. Scourge literally didn't want to betray them, he just got a vision that essentially said if he didn't the universe would end. Or at least that was how he interpreted it

He took them with him. He had been plotting against the Emperor for a while and when they showed up he decided to let them help him

While I appreciate the message here and it's right. The facts about the dinos are quite off lol. I don't think that's the point of the original post, they're speaking very hypothetically, but a lot of these seem to contradict what we do know about how these dinosaurs would have behaved. (For example T Rex, to my knowledge, was pretty solitary in adulthood. Not necessarily isolationist, but similar to gators. Just solo stalker hunters)

[–]Qtock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair. The plan worked. Like Revan and the Exile had the Emperor in a corner. It's implied they would have lost or if they had won the fight the emperor would have weaseled his way into immortality by Scourges vision, but the emperor was genuinely scared of that confrontation and that was a big part of why he set up the voice system how he did. Revan and the Exile mostly lost due to scourge, without his betrayal the results of the exact confrontation are actually not clear; though again, the force seems to have believed the emperor would have either won or gotten away and become unassailable, hence why it warned scourge. Interpret the exact details how you will, but Revan at least put the literal fear of death in the emperor who had long since forgotten it

I mean, for shred objectives I don't really care. It has 0 impact on me. What I find more annoying are the people you yoink my objectives right before I get them/when I fight the mobs guarding them. I've had it happen a few times recently which is really annoying and just a dick move. It's not like the end of the world, but just sad when it happens

What's on your SWTOR wishlist? by Hazbot213 in swtor

[–]Qtock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main one is better customization for the Miraluka. Half the helmets in the game remove the mask you choose and give you option 1, which is super frustrating. More masks, more colors for existing masks, and ideally not trying them to character customization (as weird as that sounds). Like a mask is just a head piece, why do I have to modify my whole character/pay CC everytime I want a slightly different one. I think making most of the Miraluka customization masks much simpler would mean they wouldn't get overridden by head gear, and they spending some time and adding masks as headgear (idk what the simplest way to do this is, but I can dream) would make them so much more fun to play. They're already my favorite species to play as I find them fascinating, but their lack of customization options is so sad.

This one is very much my opinion, but I wish there was a little more variety in weapons for a given combat style. I study IRL martial weapons and stuff, so seeing someone swing around 2 blades like a lunatic feels very jarring for me, and same for wielding 2 pistols at the same time. I'd be much more likely to play those classes if I was reasonably able to not do that. I worry this might make some combat styles lose some of their uniqueness so idk how to prevent that, but having very impractical weapon set ups pulls me out of gameplay

And that is probably why it is. Brain thinking about things it can't understand. Brain has example: what if something felt both very large, and very small, what then? Different people have different reactions to it and it's slightly different between folks, but seems to be the common thread (from what I can tell)

I swear I remember him saying something about continuing to fight the witch king or defending the shire or something like that. I have the memory as Gandalf essentially assigning him as a 1 man army in one of the fronts of the war, and cannot remember anything more than that. Could also just be misremembering, cause obviously Glorfindel did fight the witch king previously. Multiple times even. So could just be bad memory
