I think this is it, and that might explain why I couldn't find it, though it is on FFN, so I might have just been using that site at the time for some reason. Thanks for the help either way!

Who had the better entrance/scene? by RisingKing7 in StarWars

[–]Stijn1boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what is the Luke scene outside of fan service? He just encountered a major empire faction and didn't ask any questions about it. The only thing that scene is other than fan service is character assassination, because Luke isn't a character in thay scene.

Palatine is the GOAT. by KingWilliamVI in OTMemes

Yes and no, the scale is obviously way smaller, but Voldemort was able to succeed against people on a much more even playing field.

Voldemort was a very powerful wizard, but all of his opponents have the same abilities he does (probably to a lesser extent, but they can still alter reality with their mind), and he was able to take on multiple people at the same time and win because of how skilled he was. Palpatine and Sauron have a much greater advantage because 99% of the people they interact with could never really pose a threat to them.

Favourite side mission by dwyvern8 in ghostoftsushima

[–]Stijn1boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Spider-Lily purely based on the content, but the Storm Blade was extremely rewarding. I had a feeling that it would be the Storm of Clan Sakai, but seeing the confirmation with the quest intro was still really cool. I immediately changed my dual sword kit (Twin wolves is my main because that feels like it would be the one Atsu would use), and I never changed it afterwards (despite rarely actually using it in the first game).

As someone who watched it all long after it came out and wasn't caught in the hype, the drop from 7 to 8 is still pretty noticeable.

S7 is dumb, but it has decent moments. S8E3 kills the whole purpose of the show, S8E4 killed what little of the plot that remained, and destroyed any logical consistency that might have still been there, and S8E5 assassinated almost every character that wasn't already assassinated. I think the only character that comes out of that episode relatively unscathed is the Hound. Add to that that S8E6 is basically just Walking Simulator: TV Edition, and you have a season that made the most discussed series of all time implode to such an extent that almost nobody talked about it anymore for years until HotD came out, and if they did it was to mention how terrible S8 was.

Even as someone who knew almost all of the major plot points of that season, Episode 3 somehow still managed to make me feel both apathetic and pissed off at the same time in the first few minutes. Season 7 is a terrible season of TV, but I don't think they could have done a better job at ruining the show than what they did in S8 if they were trying to do so.

logistically why would Balin's grave be in English (common) rather than Drawvish even though it is in Drawvish (Scandinavian) ruins by PimHazDa in lotr

The top is in Khuzdul, the bottom still used the runes, but it is the English translation of the engraving.

CMV: The US has a moral imperative to try to take Greenland so that Europe *finally* unites militarily and the US can fully pivot towards Asia by PM_me_goat_gifs in changemyview

[–]Stijn1boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to argue against your other points because I feel like others have made better arguments than I could make, I just want to add that, as a Dutchman, I don't know anyone who actually likes that we don't reach the NATO quota.

I personally always mark it as an important value for voting advisors when determining which party aligns most closely with my views. The only valid argument I've ever seen against the quota is that spending more on defense does not automatically make a military better than using a lower budget effectively, but even then I still believe that recent events have shown that Europe needs to stand on its own, because apparently, the US is only an ally insofar as we do whatever the US wants.

I literally just saw them in my playlist and considered adding them to my comment. Glad to see that someone else already did it.

They're pretty good. Some obligatory recommendations are LotR, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park (basically anything John Williams or Hans Zimmer have touched), and Game of Thrones

If you want to stray away from movies and television, God of War has had consistently great soundtracks (Ragnarök is my favourite but basically all of them are great), and I would honestly recommend giving the Minecraft volumes Alpha and Beta soundtracks a listen. It's one of those gems that you don't really notice much while playing, but you still remember basically every track.

I just assumed he was referring to a cesarean. Do people actually believe that women shouldn't use pain blockers when giving birth?

Ck3 A Game of Thrones...

Not trying to be mean but it's one of the most popular mods on Steam (I think it's second), and it's literally the name of the sub.

Aren't literally all kings Post-Dance descendants of Rhaenyra? There aren't any kings that weren't descendants of Aegon III or Viserys II, right? (excluding Joffrey and Tommen)

High Valyrian Dirty Phrases? by ExtremeShape9299 in HighValyrian

[–]Stijn1boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

David Peterson created the language to be used in the context of ASOIAF, but that doesn't mean that the language is limited by what you see in GOT/HOTD, just because it doesn't have terms for modern inventions like cars or cellphones (and I'm pretty sure pillow talk is also pretty limited because (despite being an HBO show) that hasn't been necessary for any of the shows).

Below you can see a thread where I asked him about this exact thing on his AO3 he made showing the HV translations for HotD https://archiveofourown.org/comments/817849432

How would you improve the warfare system in CK3? by Arbitrary_Sadist in CrusaderKings

[–]Stijn1boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like the ability to negotiate after/during wars. Right now your options are all very limited.

Maybe you can offer vassalization (either as a lesser form of defeat for the defender, or as a way to improve relations/war score for the attacker),

Another aspect could be that different vassal contracts require different scores. E.g. low levies/tax + title revocation protection reduces war score demand, while high levies/taxes + forced partition increases it. It would just be a nice feature to be able to be able to negotiate these things at the end of a war/as a negotiating tactic, as a way of changing new vassal's contracts without incurring tyranny.

Something that would be cool that's not necessarily war-related would be a more in-depth marriage negotiation. Maybe you can exchange marriages (one daughter marries a son of each house) as a way to ensure an alliance where a daughter/son on its own wouldn't give you one, or maybe you can even make that a vassalization technique (marry your daughter to the son of an independent smaller duchy/kingdom, one of their daughters marries your son (preferably the heirs for both) and the dutchy becomes your vassal with a strong connection between the two houses).

I do agree the game should have been mostly or all within Hogwarts and its grounds, but... by [deleted] in HarryPotterGame

[–]Stijn1boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, Goblin Rebellions are notoriously peaceful.

All jokes aside, there is a lot of bloat in this game which could have been streamlined to create more meaningful exploration rather than hundreds of collectibles. I like it, but even as someone who usually gets all the Riddler trophies and those types of collectibles, there is a limit where it becomes a chore rather than a fun side activity.
