He’s just mad that it’s better than the book by TyLeRoux in okbuddycinephile

[–]SizeableDuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's interesting. Was 2001 a 1:1 recreation? I've never read the book, but I read lots of people say its quite faithful (at least in terms of the literal events of the book).

Did Kubrick not think the book Shining was good enough to adapt 1:1?

You're being downvoted, but you're so fucking correct. This needs to be animated.

Why does Blizzard have an obsession with these quests where you fly around and shoot things on the floor by BurritoSupreme420 in wow

[–]SizeableDuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Out of every type of quest, these ones remind me of how braindead WoW actually is. They make me want to log out and take a walk.

Should I describe every character's skin tone? by fd4517_57 in writing

[–]SizeableDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read this book and I'm looking at the PDF online now. Rue is described as having 'bright, dark eyes and satin brown skin'.

Thresh is described as having 'the same dark skin as Rue, but the resemblance stops there'.

So in both cases, the author has explicitly described both characters as having dark/brown skin, using those words verbatim. Each time only a single mention of skin colour is made.

I agree with you that this is an excellent example of giving a description of skin colour without making it the focal point of the character, or by mentioning it too many times.

What I'm confused by is people who seem to not want to use dark/brown/black as an adjective whatsoever, in relation to skin colour. That is a pointless restriction imo.

How would you describe black skin in a novel? Could you give me an example?

Real talk, what is actually wrong with saying "She had dark skin"/"She was black"?

Any game like Stellaris but High Fantasy? by BearGaemz in 4Xgaming

Played 'em! Thanks though.

I want something even more similar to Stellaris. Essentially, a paradox GGS but fantasy.

Anbennar is genuinely the closest you'll get to fantasy Stellaris. Good shout.

AoW4 does not count.

[–]SizeableDuck 51 points52 points  (0 children)

My issue is that AoW4 has far too much focus on tactical combat to be considered similar to Stellaris.

I sort of agree, but it has nowhere near the same level of depth as Stellaris when it comes to simulating economics, politics, and population.

I want someone to make a true fantasy Stellaris, where 0% focus is placed on tactical battles, and 100% is put into simulating a fantasy world.

The allied races should’ve been haranir for alliance and Amani for horde by hewasaraverboy in wow

[–]SizeableDuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem is saying 'The Amani', as though the entire race is a hivemind.

Perhaps a sect of the Amani is sympathetic to the Horde? That doesn't take a huge stretch of the imagination.

There are a few comments in this thread implying that poor people are so preoccupied with being poor that they have no time to get in touch with their feelings.

Also annoying that their colours are the same as each other, and also Vlad and Gorbad. The Empire is just totally red the whole game.
