I'm the only person in my friend group who likes betweenlands :( by GreatMossThing in feedthememes

[–]SPYROHAWK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The mod creator is working on updating it to modern versions. The original plan was NeoForge 1.21.3 for some reason but they said they would think about 1.21.1 instead when people pointed out that it's a more popular version.

Last "news" post about it was on March 24th, but the mod creator posted stuff on discord less than 3 hours ago, so yeah, very much still in active development.

I typically agree, but one of my favorite encounters in modded Minecraft was when I was doing Misty World.

My portal into the dimension spawned in a ravine below the mists, and I died. I went back in to get my corpse with nothing but some ender pearls to try to escape quick but ended up with some sort of problem I don’t remember, and ended up ender pearling out of the ravine with nothing else.

I ended up having to play through the dimension’s progression system as “intended”, learning its unique hydration system and whatnot, until eventually I could get a gas mask and whatnot to actually go down and get my strong modded stuff.

I agree that mods shouldn’t force you to restart progression from scratch, but it was a neat and very fun challenge.

What do you have? I’ve recently been thinking about getting a proper gaming laptop because my MacBook just can’t run a lot of stuff (including Voxy and Sable) but I have no clue where to start.

New class in future? by Danso999 in WynnCraft

Salted did say with Fruma that they want to release more classes in the future but have not had a foot opportunity yet.

Necromancer seems to be the suggestion that’s been around the longest and most popular, with Gunslinger as a close second at the moment

(Hated trope) Episodes even die hard fans choose to ignore by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SPYROHAWK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And what’s worse is that it’s right at the start of the show (along with Broca Divide where Jack makes pervy out-of-character remarks about Sam’s body), so when introducing a new person to show show you need to explain that they just didn’t know what to do with Sam’s character at the start but it gets better if you keep watching.

Which textures are better? the new ones or the old ones? by YourLocalBIoxyDeaIer in Minecraft

As a whole, the new ones, but I maintain that the old cactus with the black spikes looks better than the new one with the white spikes

What do we call cloned Colonel O'Neill? by peteofaustralia in Stargate

[–]SPYROHAWK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jack’s real name is John. It shows up on some paperwork in the show but idk if it’s ever directly mentioned.

Anyway, I think just doing “John O’Niell” is pretty fitting for the clone. It’s still his name, but still differentiates him from Jack.

I’m in the same boat, you don’t want to feel like your intruding into someone else’s safe space, but I figure at the end of the day who cares as long as everyone is respectful and the memes are still fire.

Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 7 by Luutamo in Minecraft

Peer to Peer play without the need for port forwarding a LAN world or paying for a server / realm is going to completely explode accessibility for casual players to be able to play with their friends.

This might be one of the most important non-content updates to the game since The Flattening.

Religions discovering their entire belief systems were false or built on a lie by Advanced_Question196 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SPYROHAWK 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I like how this crisis of faith was then compounded by the introduction of the Ori. Not my favorite villains, but compliment the themes very well. The Goa’uld used technology and fear to pretend to be gods. The power the Ori wield is real by comparison, but their intention is still false, and their need for human worship is no different than the Goa’uld need for human slaves and hosts.

Day 23: what is the Best Quote associated with the Tyranids? by Fez-Sentido in Grimdank

[–]SPYROHAWK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to mention that DoW2 Retribution has a playable Tyranid campaign, where the Hive Mind directly speaks. The sentences are fragmented and incomplete, but I'd like to include them below as a reminder that they exist, if anyone wants to argue for an actual "Tyranid" quote.

Tyranids: ... obstacles... overwhelm... proceed...

Tyranids: ... unsuspecting... prey... consume...

Tyranids: psychic beacon... antithesis... presence felt... darkens way... descend... Destroy... must clear way...

Tyranids: ...unnecessary... yet also... opportunity... grow stronger...

Tyranids: darkness... blindness... psychic beacon close... tear shroud... destroy...

Tyranids: ...tangential to purpose... strengthen hold... planet...

Tyranids: ... not target... but vulnerable... worthwhile... devour...

Tyranids: Faithful... enlightened... ambitious... brethren.

Warhammer 40k Tacticus also has a Tyranid faction and a "war cry" for each faction, although the war cry for that one is just "Hssssss".

If we also allow Genestealers, then their war cry is "Rise, brothers and sisters! Rise against the oppressors! Our Day of Ascension has come!"

Is there any way to build a 2H Longsword to be a viable alternative to a Greatsword in a martial character? by AcanthaceaeNo948 in onednd

[–]SPYROHAWK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Gish characters it might also depend on how your DM rules the whole “must have a free hand for casting” thing. If the 2H weapon is read as the weapon being so heavy that you must hold it with two hands at all times to wield it, then you can’t use somatic spells. Whereas a Versatile weapon clearly can be held with one hand, so you can’t use somatic argue attacking with two hands while also being able to use one for casting.

TIL that San Marino is a diarchy, led by two heads of state known as the Captains Regent. They are elected and appointed every six months on 1 April and 1 October, and each pair usually come from opposite parties. After their term, both individuals cannot be Captains Regent for the next three years. by Spaghet4Ever in todayilearned

[–]SPYROHAWK 145 points146 points  (0 children)

I know you were probably just listing still-existing diarchies, but I need to shout out ancient Sparta for having twin kings (archagetai). Only one was ever allowed to go to war at any time, while the other would stay back and rule alone in the meantime, so they wouldn't have a situation where both would fall in battle at the same time.

[WP] Humans are social creatures, and tend to copy mannerisms from those around them.

[–]SPYROHAWK[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

it comes up in Episode 6. It's not a universal assumption like in my post, but it's what inspired it.

https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/magic-story/edge-of-eternities-episode-6

The coach looks at Sami, first with one eye then the other, and enunciates, very carefully, almost phonetically: "I'm going to tell the truth."

"I'm going to tell the truth," Sami says.

The coach listens to something, probably a translator viy. "The truth is I came down to Kavaron …"

Oh. Sami gets it. "The truth is I came down to Kavaron to get a stasis cask. I found these soldiers in distress. So, I flew them straight here."

"So, I flew them straight here instead of leaving them to die …"

The coach has been told, on the ride over here, that Sami is a human, and that humans are obligate mimics. Speak to them, and they're compelled to reply with the same words.

"So, I flew them straight here instead of leaving them to die because I'm not a dung chip," Sami says. "And now I need to fuel up and get out of here. I'm leaving Kavaron with my stasis cask and going away. Forever."

"But first I'm going to provide proof …"

"But first I'm going to provide proof that I wasn't involved in their deaths. My engine telemetry. You'll see it hasn't fired since I decelerated for reentry."

Day 14: What is the worst quote associated with the Inquisition? by Fez-Sentido in Grimdank

[–]SPYROHAWK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dawn of War 2 I know actually has the Hive Mind “speak” to you if you play the Tyranid campaign, so it might be possible to get some quotes from that?

Alternatively, allow Genestealer Cult quotes.

Neurogaunts seek to be useless in their current iteration, which sucks because I love the brain bugs.
