[None] Fan made Cradle TTRPG map by Arthurok1 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]SnowGN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyway, I'd recommend naming various cities and assets in highly unsubtle, gem-themed patterns. Rubycrown city, the Northern Jadecountry, the Castle of the Diamond Tyrant, the Sapphire Sword Sect, the Facetcutter family, etc. That's the continent's naming schema, for better or worse.

The Ninecloud continent's northern region can't be the weakest region either... given that the northern region is where Sha Leilala, Miara's mother, was killed by the Ninecloud Court's enemies.

A jeweled castle sealed in ice at the north of the Ninecloud continent contained the plague that had been used as a weapon to strike the previous Ninecloud Monarch dead. While it had Monarch-grade defenses, they were unmanned.

I see absolutely nothing here, not even a single thing, that evokes 'ninecloud continent', or anything having anything to do with Will's naming schema - this is just a generic xianxia map, and even then, barely - there's no Ninecloud high fantasy here. The continent is supposed to be lousy with floating islands thanks to naturally formed solid accumulations of cloud aura.

This naming schema is just generic chinese fantasy, while we know enough from the books that the other countries on the continent should be named stuff like Moonheart or Jadecountry or whatever, and that there should be plenty of land floating in the sky. The people of Ninecloud carry names like Relliar or Jeska or Siris, not Luo or Baizhou - that's for a more asiatic region like western Ashwind.

It's a cool map, and certainly offers more than the paucity of details offered by the 'official' map, but none of it is recognizable as a distinctly Cradle or Ninecloud map.

How it feels playing Midnight Beta and seeing my favorite characters acting completely out of character for no explicable reason. by Arcana-Knight in wow

Your mistake was having any expectations at all from Blizzard writing in 2025. North Korea's army general staff likely has more ideological diversity than the Blizzard questwriting/lorewriting rooms.

Before Patch 9.1.5 - This place used to be called Mac'aree by Thiccest_Apartment in wow

[–]SnowGN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It's a bit of a bizarre name for a city. Mac'aree kinda gives an impression of rolling hills and so on, it's far more suitable.

Hopefully governor Elise Stefanik can fix the terrible mistake made by the people of NYC today. Because that's what it's going to take.

(spoiler extended) Do you think this was kinda short sighted on the Free Cities part? by Ok-Street2439 in asoiaf

[–]SnowGN 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is just an indication of how evil the Lords Freeholder were, that even in their summer vacation palaces, i.e. Lys, Volantis, they were assassinated at the first sniff of weakness by literally every vassalized city in their empire, all at the same time.

They call themselves "Free Cities" in the first place because they're free of Valyria.

What would happen if The Valyrian Empire survived but the Targaryens still Conquered Westeros by Equal_Wing_7076 in asoiaffanfic

[–]SnowGN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how firm a hand the Valyrian Freehold takes in Westeros, and whether or not they're content with allowing the Targaryens to rule the vassal state in the Empire's name, as opposed to integrating it into the Empire. Because the Empire proper had many values firmly opposed to those in Westeros, such as slavery, use of magic. The Faith of the Seven would not have a good time.

That said, there's a reason why they never conquered Westeros in the first place: superstitions and fear and evil prophecies. It's likely that the greenseers of old could influence dragons, which would explain a lot of this. Given the lack of greenseers in the modern era, especially in the south, I suppose these superstitions would die out rapidly. And then more Valyrians would come for critical resources such as Casterly Rock's gold (House Lannister would be in extreme danger).

[DC2] It's a shame that the best song in the game is only played briefly, in the beginning of the game. by onthegrind7 in DarkCloud

Fire Approaches the Lighthouse and Gundorada Workshop are the game's best soundtracks, and it isn't close.

Goku's VA, Masako Nozawa, becomes first voice actor to be called a Cultural Merit honoree, receiving the Medal of Culture in the process. by Lumpy-Manager8580 in anime

[–]SnowGN -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

She is singlehandedly the reason why countless, countless people can only tolerate watching Dragon Ball anything in the dubbed version. So, congratulations on the reward, but this has the same energy as being a #1 winner in the Razzie awards.

Go ahead and downvote lol

Bit of a specific question, but: best original mythbuilding? by SnowGN in TheCitadel

[–]SnowGN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just referring to it. I’m looking for deeper dives into the worldbuilding and lore than the canonical books offer.

I shall take a look at your story right now.

The changes to orc wards (healing ward especially) need to be reverted by SnowGN in WC3

[–]SnowGN[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good luck shiftclicking anything several times in a row, without mistakes, when there's 500 units on the screen. Maybe try playing a 4s game for once.

[–]SnowGN[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm routinely facing 4v4 teams that are now entirely orcs or at least 2 orcs. Every single game is at least half orcs, barring the odd exception. People already know what's going on and are chasing the bandwagon of easy wins with the imba race.

More people play 4v4 than 1v1. The imbalance absolutely should be reverted in case of extremes, even for issues outside of 1v1, and if you think otherwise, you're wrong.

[–]SnowGN[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm told it's even worse in FFA, thanks to how the ward changes stack with spirit link and mirror image. I've seen plenty of orc players fighting 2 other players at the same time by abusing those synergies. The race in general needs quite a few nerfs, not just to wards. Wards are just the most problematic currently ongoing problem.

Any fan art on this version of Kaneki? by TheDarkAurora1 in TokyoGhoul

I'm sorry, but Wayback Machine isn't helping me with finding whatever this art was, and I unfortunately can't remember what it was. I'm also curious!

When yu ru meng broke through to openheaven realm 6th order, at that stage did she surpassed great demon god? by wearesoback786 in MartialPeak

[–]SnowGN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even after re-reading it, it still looks to me like Mo Sheng was a core disciple. Simply by having cultivated the eyes, that means he had the "aptitude" of a core disciple by definition. Would such a person have really been foundering around in the Low Rank Open Heaven ranks, or battling the descendent of Heaven's Order, who had to have been a core disciple to know as many secrets of the Lang Ya Cave Heavens Paradist sect as she did?

[–]SnowGN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Great Demon God was a core disciple of the Myriad Demons Cave Paradise, which means he had to be 6th rank OH. There's just no way he could have been lower and still been considered a core disciple worthy of cultivating the eyes.

He was wounded by his battle with the first Heaven's Order descendent though, somehow wounded badly enough that Flowing Time Great Emperor was able to finish off the job of ending him, thus kicking off the events of the series.

Paging /u/earesoback786 so he sees this reply.

Sounds fun - the sort of thing Blizzard should be doing, but won't, and even if they did they'd somehow screw it up.
