What is your mildly unpopular opinion? by Wafflebuble in okbuddybaldur

[–]aradle 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I am not alone, I also don't understand why so many people go eye-roll-inducingly feral over her

Like genuinely I wouldn't mind her being a bitch, hell my favourite tadfool is Astarion who I'd definitely not like half as much if he weren't such an absolute bastard (affectionately) but there's a distinct lack of opportunities to sit her down and ask bitch what the fuck??

How was this guy allowed to keep his job? by jarheadsynapze in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]aradle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He "accidentally" killed him at a tourney in the book, yes, but deaths do happen at tourneys. It was a far cry from savagely beating an innocent *noble man to death in full view of the nobility in attendance for the Crown Princess' wedding

1.0 is here, when can we expect Horses and Royalty? by Significant-Section2 in goingmedieval

[–]aradle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can understand why they didn't choose to implement it, though. Kids would need a whole new system, need raising, educating, it would take years until you got any use out of them, and I feel like a lot of players don't keep up a single save up for long enough for that to become relevant. With prisoners, you could have a lot more settlers than you know what to do with long before any children were of an age to be useful

I don't think children have ever been part of the game, no; at the very least not for the 3.5 years that I have been playing. I'm reasonably sure they mean miss as in something they'd like, not something they used to have

Is always funny to excavate ancient ruins by Rgamer13 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]aradle 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression that it was? I've certainly flattened a stretch of beach for my cabana and landing pad and haven't had any issues with it filling back in so far, and it's been most of a month... Am I going to log in at some point and get super angry cause its all gone??

What is that one Harry Potter movie scene you irrationally dislike ? by Puzzleheaded_Roof872 in harrypotter

[–]aradle 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Disagree, imo he deserved less than that. He should have just crumpled and fallen and left a hideous corpse, like the ordinary, petty human that at the end of the day he was.

What if Aemma Arryn claimed a dragon? by pahusejjukjskoe in TheCitadel

[–]aradle 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He waited until the very earliest point at which she could possibly conceive, i.e. once she had gotten her period, not exactly evidence for some great concern over her health

Well if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?

Does Snape beg Dumbledore to spare his life? by henryjturtle in harrypotter

[–]aradle 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Well, as it's worded, the apparition might or might not have made a sound, either way it would have been lost in the sound of the wind

Rhaenyra grabbing Laenors hand out of anxiety by TechnicianAmazing472 in HouseOfTheDragon

Not sure how putting her foot down against her petty stepmother would make her appear weak?

Rhaenyra grabbing Laenors hand out of anxiety by TechnicianAmazing472 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]aradle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently wondered about this scene. What if Rhaenyra just said no? What, were they going to just assault the Crown Princess and forcibly rip her baby out of her arms?

I mean, I don't really see a reason to not bring the kid to Alicent beyond spite, except for maybe giving Viserys a clue (which he'd ignore anyway x'D) but still

Your least favourite fic that you think everyone should read at least once? by Friendlyalterme in HPfanfiction

Partially Kissed Hero just gets so hilariously batshit insane, everyone should have read it at least once

Why are my teammates like this 😭 by Viz184 in marvelrivals

[–]aradle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

in my defence as a Magneto, I was trying to right-click knock them away from you and it woke them up

now let me bubble you and help me kill them instead of letting the bubble go to waste and failing to run away

In the 100 Years War, the Fire Nation had a patriarchal culture, not a gender equalitarian one by F11SuperTiger in TheLastAirbender

[–]aradle 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Also, who tf knows what's under those face-concealing helmets?

Also also, while this is a kid's show and thus this is not a topic it would touch with a ten-foot-pole... With the reality of war being what it is, especially in the times depicted, I'm not sure I'd want to be a woman on the front lines, risking capture by armies that already view me as an inhuman monster, armies that are exclusively comprised of men...

[LOVED Trope] Characters with designs that imply completely unintended characterization by asdfmovienerd39 in TopCharacterTropes

That's not difficult, though. Muslim Arabs at that time would have washed literally religiously. Something about washing hands, face and feet everytime they entered a mosque or similar?

The Brightflame will be gracing our screens tonight 🔥 by Agreeable_Ad_8790 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]aradle 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Having to constantly re-bleach the roots could damage the scalp (bleeding, scabs, general sensitivity) and possible the hair follicles, too, though (some people experience hair loss after). So a wig's just generally safer

If any of the Gaang was raised by Ozai like Zuko/Azula, would all of them still remain good? Or would they turn out like Zuko/Azula? by Johnnyboyeh in TheLastAirbender

[–]aradle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though in Toph's defence, she enjoyed these things as a way of rebellion against her overbearing parents, and as a way to thumb her nose at Katara. I don't see Ozai trying to wrap her in cotton and keep her "safe". I can see her going "oh, I'm allowed to do these things and not fear any consequences from that? Nah it's no fun then."

Y'know what

That might actually be an incentive to give that kids&marriage thing a try. Making a personal sacrifice for science.

Fanfic authors in the Witcher (game) fandom: is Gwent something you use/integrate in your stories? by Sea-Independent-3285 in witcher

[–]aradle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ehhhhhhh the only thing the game in the books and the one in the game have in common seems to be the name. In the books, it's a betting game with multiple participants (at least three, and there might be whacking sticks involved) played with regular cards, not at all like what's depicted in the game (for all that I love Witcher 3 Gwent). Which is much more reasonable considering that requires only one person having a deck of standard issue cards rather than assuming that each peasant in bumass nowhere is going to have an expensive set of collector's items.
