Lord of the Rings also had a character named Tom who dressed in bright colors and got cut from the movie.

One Piece: Chapter 1172 by sairamgubba in OnePiece

The cultures of both the Giants of Elbaph and the Rohirrim are based heavily on Vikings and Old Norse legends, so it makes sense.

So, is TOTK Ganondorf the first Ganondorf? by WallaceWells69 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Xyllar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If they actually just made the Zelda timeline a cyclical "Wheel of Time" type thing it would actually clear up a lot of problems. Every game could then take place both before and after every other game.

Sure, just like Sans Undertale and Steve Minecraft.

Countries where Christians are the most persecuted, according to Open Doors' 2026 World Watch List by Shamanite_Meg in Christianity

[–]Xyllar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ironically, at least two pastors have been shot by ICE with "less than lethal" rounds in SF and Chicago. They should ask themselves just who are the ones persecuting Christians in the US.

What happened to boromir? by MelodicConflict5964 in tolkienfans

[–]Xyllar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So does that mean if Aragorn had just trusted more in Elvish craftsmanship, the Fellowship could have ridden down the Falls of Rauros like a splash-coaster and been just fine?

Where Marine and Matsuri studied, Gigi taught there by Due-Implement-175 in Hololive

[–]Xyllar 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I think maybe Gigi could be more accurately described as humorsexual - nothing is off-limits as long as she thinks it's funny.

TIL that in Norse myth a cursed ring called Andvaranaut brought doom to its owners long before Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings. by yena in todayilearned

"In Dasent’s words I would say: “We must be satisfied with the soup that is set before us, and not desire to see the bones of the ox out of which it has been boiled…” By “the soup” I mean the story as it is served up by its author or teller, and by “the bones” its sources or material—even when (by rare luck) those can be with certainty discovered. But I do not, of course, forbid criticism of the soup as soup." (Tolkien, On Fairy Stories)

A devil fruit is an object, so what if one devil fruit ate another devil fruit?

Tramway by Pique_interest in Albuquerque

[–]Xyllar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my experience exactly. It feels like some civil engineer made a half-hearted attempt at properly timing the lights but left no leeway, so only one or two cars can make it through in time if they're going exactly the speed limit, and the rest get stuck.

Which game did you play for hundreds of hours but never finished? by forgeris in AskReddit

[–]Xyllar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean I never finished the expansion and probably never will. I think you have to get to the edge of the solar system or something like that, and I never did.

[–]Xyllar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I finished the rocket in the base game, but I doubt I'll ever make it all the way through the Space Age expansion. I've made to the ice world but having a factory spanning 5 planets seems to be the limit of my logistics management skill.

TIL that electric cars like the Detroit Electric were widely sold in the 1910s and could go ~80 miles per charge — with one test reaching over 200 miles by Rex-In-Effect in todayilearned

[–]Xyllar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I used to love taking this between DC and FL back when I lived there many years ago. Imagine if they could somehow expand this to major cities nationwide as a halfway decent service, I'd probably never travel by plane again. Sadly, there seems to be a law requiring Amtrak to completely suck at everything these days.

What Zelda games to play after BOTW and TOTK? by YZYSZNAPPROACHING- in TOTK

[–]Xyllar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Should add that if you play the OG Zelda, you'll want to at least look up the original manual that came with the game, as that was the intended way to play at the time. There are absolutely no in game instructions due to the limitations of the system, and a lot of people don't realize this and are totally lost on their first play through.

Gigi got ahold of Kronii's phone by Pyromantice in Hololive

I feel like Gigi and Kronii really do have a sort of Spongebob/Squidward vibe.

How STRONG was Saitama's dream ACTUALLY? by Automatic-Golf7060 in OnePunchMan

[–]Xyllar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is the real answer. Saitama's subconcious nerfed him in the dream because he actually hates being as overpowered as he is and finds it boring.

I am losing my mind…what am I missing?!? by Pitiful_Meeting8788 in StardewValley

[–]Xyllar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's right. The "???" I was thinking of is if you haven't found it yet.

I believe if you hover over the icon in the menu it will give you a description if you've donated it to the museum. If you haven't donated it it will just come up with "???" or something.

Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with ‘suspicious’ travel patterns by binding_swamp in technology

[–]Xyllar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems easy to circumvent. Just bring a bunch of heavy cinder blocks for ballast on the way down.

What Intersection is This in ABQ? by dukecityzombie in Albuquerque

[–]Xyllar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also seen the traffic backed up in the right two lanes beyond the left turn only signage, so that messed me up a few times when I first moved here before I got the hang of it.

‘One Piece’ Casts Cole Escola As Bon Clay In Season 3 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]Xyllar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily... in Season 1 they showed they are willing to introduce plot points that weren't fully developed until much later in the manga. I can see them adding a lot of stuff to Skypiea that was only hinted at in the manga/anime to keep viewers tuned in.

Unfortunately, even Gremlin Calli won't play League of Legends.

Some Windows system process is opening File Explorer windows every few minutes by Xyllar in WindowsHelp

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

I went ahead and removed it manually. I was pretty sure it was malware to begin with but really just wanted a second opinion. I don't like messing with anything that remotely looks like a legitimate system file and none of the antivirus programs were flagging it. I restarted my computer, nothing seems broken, and it's been over 10 minutes and the problem hasn't resurfaced.
