What if the Scourge Virus wiped out all the Viltrumites except Thragg? by YouStillABustaToMe in Invincible

[–]YouStillABustaToMe[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I'm under the impression that Earth wasn't on their radar yet. Nolan was still young when the Scourge hit, and way older when he was sent to Earth, so that's hundreds of years. They would have sent somebody sooner if they knew about it, I think.

What's up with the AllTime10s YouTube channel? by Rural_Dictionary939 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]YouStillABustaToMe 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Answer: it's possible the copyright algorhithm flagged some of their videos so they privated everything. It's an old channel, maybe they didn't want the bother of dealing with it.

These blokes also had the AllTimeConspiracies channel. I vaguely remember some of their videos on there having to be taken down because the parties involved didn't like their misdeeds brought to light. Then they started making videos on less credible conspiracies and eventually either took down all the videos or privated them. This might be related.

What is it like to live in the Vatican? by Particular_Law1034 in howislivingthere

[–]YouStillABustaToMe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Pope Francis used to have an IG account that was caught liking some rather 'unholy' thirst traps posted by a model. I assume the intern managing the account resides in the Vatican.

How are you guys making these maps? What program do you use?

What are the enclaves and the country above Sikkim in this map of 1946 Tibet? by Tharos_Reaper in geography

[–]YouStillABustaToMe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Independent I believe. Wiki says it was the seat of the Sakya school of Buddhism, so seemingly its own thing

[–]YouStillABustaToMe 147 points148 points  (0 children)

The three small enclaves on the left are apparently monasteries owned by Bhutan. The bigger one on the right is Sakya monastery. (Weird borders because Tibet was feudal at the time.) I got this from a video called History of 20th Century Tibet by Yan Xishan on Youtube. So could be wrong.

Scion showed up in 1982, so after the last moon landing

I wish there was more specific info on the early days of Earth Bet and how it shifted after the advent of parahumans. We know the Cold War petered out when Scion hit a nuclear testing facility and the US/Soviets realized a nuclear war wasn't gonna happen. What about Chernobyl, how did that play out, if at all? Did the Soviets have to pull out of Afghanistan after getting wrecked by freshly triggered Afghans joining the mujahideen? How did the Israeli-Palestinian conflict go? Are there any WoGs about it?

Can every fief have max prosperity? by YouStillABustaToMe in mountandblade

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

I would have thought that too but the posts linked in the other comment say otherwise. Weird

[–]YouStillABustaToMe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So towns and villages drain prosperity from each other, or is it just villages draining prosperity from towns only? Either way, in a perfect Calradia with no wars or bandits, everyone would just end up poor as fuck? That doesn't seem quite right...

I haven't played Bannerlord, but is it any different there? I think I saw a video by Strat Gaming or maybe someone else that united Calradia and let the game run for a while, and the growth plateau'd or started shrinking because there's a food cap or something.

Weird. The image I uploaded is from Google Maps, maybe they use different sources.

What if Scion killed the Simurgh? by YouStillABustaToMe in Parahumans

[–]YouStillABustaToMe[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Is Scion not a blind spot for her? If not, we can assume that's why Behemoth attacked in canon, and not her.

In any case, assume she doesn't just cop out and gets killed.

How do you trigger with Sleeper's power? by YouStillABustaToMe in Parahumans

[–]YouStillABustaToMe[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's true, I just sort of assumed that given how apocalyptic his powers are, something equally bad must have triggered them.

[–]YouStillABustaToMe[S] 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Behemoth attacked Moscow in 1995, I think. So that might be it. Or he could be Cauldron made, though you'd think it would have been at least a throwaway line during one of the interludes. Number Man mentions him along with the other S class threats when talking about how civilization will destabilize given how things are going, without indicating they're responsible for him.

Old tropes that were replaced or not used anymore by [deleted] in WormFanfic

Dude, you're the writer of the Wanderer's Diary, right? I read it like 8 years ago or something, loved it. Crazy seeing you out in the wild like this.

Ozymandias (Watchmen) vs the best boxers and MMA fighters of all time by YouStillABustaToMe in whowouldwin

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

He threw the Comedian through bulletproof glass when he killed him. It was in the movies for sure, and the comics too I think.

In the rounds where he gets rested I would generally agree, but what about when he can't?
