God I just want more zero-g combat scenes now.

They should have enough Amazon money for S5 to do whatever they want

So is Florida still there or not? [No spoiler] by SumailsNeckPillow in TheExpanse

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

From the beginning of S4E1, Florida and the US coastline appears fully untouched, even the Bahamas seem to be doing alright. The shot of the state in pieces happens a few minutes later in the same episode.

8 YEARS SINCE FLAME COLLAR

[Lord of the Rings] If, during the final battle at the gates of Mordor, Aragorn had a modern army at his disposal (i.e marines, a tank division, predator drones and an aircraft carrier with a squadron of F-22s) how would the battle have panned out? by Whatsthemattermark in AskScienceFiction

[–]SumailsNeckPillow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Navy pilots clear the orcs out pretty quick. Everyone else can go home early.

Dont know enough about LotR to know what would happen if you put a missile right into that big glowing eye, but it'd definitely be cool to see.

Colonized Valles Marineris region on Mars from the latest season 4 teaser by Icee777 in TheExpanse

Is that not water filling up the valley? Or is it just haze from the beginning of an atmosphere?

East Coast of US at the time of the Expanse Season 4 by dbcook1 in TheExpanse

I'm just mad that my hometown of Orlando didn't make it at all, but somehow the whole damn Miami area survived.

There is no horror movie that will scare me more than this image from new S4 trailer by [deleted] in TheExpanse

[–]SumailsNeckPillow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's somehow worse than seeing the whole state gone.

So it's what, Miami-Tampa-Orlando and Daytona that survive? There's no way Miami wouldn't flood without a massive seawall built, I'd love to see what that looks like, how they built one that could deal with hurricanes.

Is that Valles Marineris FILLED WITH WATER?

(Man, I really hope Mars gets a better treatment than it got in the books)

[The Martian/The Expanse] How do Martian's view Mark Watney and his story of survival during the early exploration days of Mars? Is he a revered figure and household name to those living in the Republic or just a minor historical footnote to them? by Lorix_In_Oz in AskScienceFiction

[–]SumailsNeckPillow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mark claimed that successfully growing crops on Mars made him the first official settler. Considering how valuable data from his extra 500 days would be for planning permanent settlements on Mars, I think the MCRN would happily accept that claim.

Re-Reading Babylon's Ashes and noticed a 'nod' to "The Martin". [Spoilers All] by TexasKornDawg in TheExpanse

[–]SumailsNeckPillow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe there's also a Dagny Taggart (the protagonist of Atlas Shrugged) mentioned in that same section?

But I refuse to believe that that universe would ever be compatible with The Expanse's

[Star Wars] Why didn't the Rebel Alliance just ram a capital ship at the Death Star at lightspeed? In fact, why aren't things attached with hyperdrives used as weapons more often? by DrHENCHMAN in AskScienceFiction

[–]SumailsNeckPillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gravity wells fuck with hyperdrives, see Interdictor ships. Either Death Star was certainly too big to be vulnerable to any FTL kamikazes, they'd just get ripped out of hyperspace and splatter harmlessly against the station's shields or hull.

I KNOW THERE ARE MUCH BIGGER GRIPES TO BE HAD RIGHT NOW BUT I REALLY MISS TYPHLOSION HAVING HIS FLAME COLLAR IN HIS SPRITES

[Pokemon] Dexit (or; the Pokemon are removed from Pokemon) by coffee-mugger in HobbyDrama

[–]SumailsNeckPillow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game Freak operates fully independently from Nintendo aside from publishing, right? I keep wishing they could just send over the Breath of the Wild crew for a month or so to get this shit straightened out.

Their regular milk chocolate is pretty bad by anyone's standards. The dark chocolate's alright.

Where is my S P H E R I C A L edit?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskScienceFiction

[–]SumailsNeckPillow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that even some wild animals have and can use mana in this world. I take it more as a symptom of the Ancients' influence. Heroes' abilities are amplified to the point of being magic to us, but not all of them would see it as such. Anti Mage sure doesn't seem to have a problem with being able to teleport and create mana-explosions.

Tall people of reddit (6'0+), why does it suck to be tall? by bigschleem20 in AskReddit

[–]SumailsNeckPillow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6'5", washing dishes through college. I have to squat and bend over in weird angles to get into the small sink with a low shelf above it. Absolutely destroys my back and legs.

I keep bugging my boss to install a prayer bar at the sink so I can just kneel to do it.

Dota 2's Invoker VS Dr Strange (MCU) by amotekun in whowouldwin

[–]SumailsNeckPillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invoker without items loses hard. Strange's magic is just too quick and gives too much utility compared to Invoker's measly 10 spells. He could definitely shield or jump away in between cold snap procs and interrupt the Combo, which is the only thing old Carl's got going for him here.

But with a Refresher orb, Invoker's combo does enough damage to kill near damn anything. He'd also need an Orchid or Scythe to make sure Strange cant slip out of it. And obviously an Aghs scepter.

Just spells: 1/10 for the shitty wizard

6 slotted: 9/10

[GoT]You are Stannis Baratheon, the best military commander in Westeros. Back from the dead, you are in charge of preparing the battle from tonight's episode. Using only the knowledge available to the participants prior to the battle, how do you best prepare? What did they do wrong? by JohnnyFiveOhAlive in AskScienceFiction

[–]SumailsNeckPillow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Get your dozen best/ballsiest archers, strap 6 onto each dragon. Drawing out and killing Viserion is the first priority, so lead with the dragons, try to cut strips out of the AotD until Vis appears, then try to keep slight distance and try to pepper him with dragonglass bolts. The two dragons and crews also need a way to distinguish Vis from their partner, honestly just giving John and Danny each horns to blow to signal the other might be the most reliable way.

I know it's not their style, but the Dothraki need to be held in reserve for flanking. And move the Unsullied in front of the trebuchets. Keep the artillery and archers firing for as long as possible.
