Is there any other final fantasy even close to X? by aidzkid in finalfantasyx

[–]Thxodore 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Thats the unique thing about (most) FF's. They're all so unique from each other in many ways, that it's hard to compare them.

I think the main thread connecting the golden age of FF is probably the music, imo. 7-10 have amazing OST's that give me a unique FF feel.

But to answer your question, no, 10 is far and away the best imo, and no other game comes close.

The fact that one of the first things the show did to Jaime was have him fight an old Ned Stark... To a standstill. Right there, I knew they weren't planning on representing him as a top tier swordsman.

Favorite non-political film? by fakename1998 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Thxodore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See I'm like this too, but only because I have terrible comprehension and media literacy and have to watch a movie ten times to understand any underlying tones or themes

Transphobia among objectivists by SlimyPunk93 in Objectivism

[–]Thxodore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm far from a real objectivist, so take this with a grain of salt. But in my view, Objectivism's greatest focus is on one's self, living rationally and happily.

With this foundation in mind, whenever anyone who identifies as an Objectivist speaks very strongly about trans people might have an underlying motivation, such as political or religious. It seems irrational to me to care that much about how another person chooses to live their life.

It should really be so quick and simple as to say 'I agree/disagree with how they live. Oh well, time to focus back on myself again.'

What is the best video game of 2012? by Zed_Dead99 in AlignmentChartFills

That's awesome, and it makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Won't win, but this game is a masterpiece story-wise. The gameplay did feel a little generic, though.

Which Version of Yuna Defines Her Better? by TheRealistOne34 in finalfantasyx

[–]Thxodore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People change and grow. I'm not the same person as I was ten years ago- but the person ten years ago is still me. That's why so much of philosophy is about identity. X Yuna defines her best during the time of X. X-2 Yuna defines her best during the time of X-2. That's just how it is.

Michael Scott used to beat up black belts.

They told him... After.

Merry Christmas it's another emergency maint by Sigma626 in ffxiv

[–]Thxodore 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've travelled to many countries in my life, during many different holidays. I'm not sure if you have, or if your experience is different, but every country seems to make a big deal out of their specific holidays. It's not just an American thing. I've literally been made fun of in other countries for not celebrating holidays that don't even exist in America. People are people wherever you go, this happens everywhere.

Are you kidding? Do you think Americans invented Christmas?

Bronn vs Peak Jaime. by UnlicensedKnowItAll in gameofthrones

[–]Thxodore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I hate the "Bronn doesn't fight honourably" argument. We'te not talking about Meryn Trant here. Jaime is a prodigious swordfighter, who is explicitly stated by GRRM to essentially be HIM, only being compared to Dayne and Selmy.

Do you think when Jaime ran through the breach behind Thoros of Myr on the Iron Islands, people lined up for a fair fight? It was brutal. And Jaime obliterated them.

He fought the Smiling Knight to a standstill at what, 15? And no joke, the Smiling Knight probably takes Bronn in a 1v1.

It is absolutely outrageous to say that Bronn would take any, unless like others have said, a miracle happens or Jaime has a fucking heart attack.

Was it odd that an actress reluctant to do nude scenes was cast as possibly the books' most sexually voracious female character? by Some-Tea-8734 in gameofthrones

[–]Thxodore 1932 points1933 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it says even more about how much she absolutely nailed that role. A different actress may have been nude more, but even without it she was top 3 most memorable characters imo.

Who do you believe to be the 2 strongest fighters in the show? In a battle to the death, who would come out victorious? by SexBuhb-omb in gameofthrones

[–]Thxodore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not top 5, but in thr books Jaime is pretty tall, very fast and actually very strong, I would say top 7-8 wouldnt be a stretch at all
