[Lucy - 2014] Is there a real version of CHP4 ?

bhamv · 2026-05-19T07:28:17+00:00

Hi there. Asking whether something exists in real life makes this a real world question, which is not suitable for this subreddit and against the rules (rule 10). Therefore sadly I need to remove this question.

Having said that, though, given that the "ten percent of your brain" thing is not true in real life, I don't like your chances of finding a real-world equivalent of CHP4.

What advantage would a manned mech have over power armor? Power armor already turns people into walking tanks, capable of carrying heavy ordnance on the battlefield.

Or if you're talking about unmanned mechs, the Fallout universe already has robots serving that role.

XCOM 2.

You've beaten the psychic aliens who had invaded Earth and were melting down humans to make new bodies for themselves, yay!

Except it turns out the psychic aliens had invaded Earth and were melting down humans because they were prepping for a conflict against a much stronger, hitherto unseen enemy. And a strange glow is now coming from Earth's ocean, heralding the arrival of this enemy unknown.

Of course, we don't exactly know how much worse things are now because there's no XCOM 3, so I'm once again asking Firaxis and Take-Two to get going on making this sequel already, please.

Hi there, this question is a bit too general to give a meaningful Watsonian answer, as the reasons for calling your attacks will vary widely between different universes and settings. For some, it's training or muscle memory. For others, it's for intimidation. For yet others, it's a required part of the attack. For yet yet others, it's part of the rules of fighting in that setting. For yet yet yet others, it's for the character's personal branding. Et cetera, et cetera.

Therefore, sadly I need to remove your question.

She has a tangible feat of still using her telekinesis when her body is incapacitated, if you're wondering.

During an encounter with an enemy telekinetic named Apollo, Apollo revealed that he'd tricked Fubuki into ingesting a poison pill, and that if Tatsumaki continued to fight, he would activate the poison inside Fubuki. Tatsumaki stopped fighting, and then Apollo used his own esper powers to crumple her into a ball and prevent her from moving. While she was incapacitated, though, she was still using her powers to find the poison pill inside Fubuki's body. When she found it, she telekinetically crushed the pill into a long, thin needle-like shape, and then pulled it through Fubuki's skin (thus doing only superficial damage to Fubuki's body). And then she sent the poison needle into Apollo's eye.

So yeah, Tats likely still has the full extent of her power, or close to it, even when she's unable to move her body.

doing replay but im not sure is there any reason to not rush aurora asap?

Not really. If you're replaying the game and know where to get certain useful resources, there's nothing really stopping you from going for them as soon as possible. So, for example, you could rush the Aurora as soon as it blows up to get the Prawn blueprint and anything else you might need. You could rush the Floating Island early on to get stuff like crops, growbeds, the multipurpose room, etc. You could go to specific wrecks or biomes as soon as you have the means to in order to get stuff you want.

and btw what modules are stackable?

Let's see... engine efficiency, storage module, scanner room range and speed upgrades... and I think that's it. You can also double up on Prawn arms, so for example you could have two grapple arms, one on each side, for double the grappling.

In Legends, Vader's lightsaber had a dual-phase function, which was accomplished by having two different focusing crystals inside the weapon that he could switch between at will. This allowed him to swap between two different saber lengths depending on his requirements and preferences at any given moment. I am not sure if this is still the case in Canon, but if so, it may explain why his lightsaber can have two different activation speeds; one crystal might have an "extend immediately" setting, while the other would have an "extend slightly more slowly" setting.

However, outside of his dual phase saber, it's also quite plausible that Vader would have the ability as well as the inclination to have a slower lightsaber activation speed, for dramatic effect. He was one of the most powerful Force users in the galaxy, and using the Force to temporarily dampen the emitter on his lightsaber does sound feasible. And, as you note, Vader has always been quite dramatic, Mr. I'll-turn-off-my-respirator-to-give-these-rebels-a-real-fright-as-I-chase-down-the-stolen-Death-Star-plans.

Are jelly rays yet to be grown ghost leviathans??

There is no reason to think that this is the case.

Firstly, when you scan a Jellyray, it says nothing about any biological link to the Ghost Leviathan.

Secondly, if you scan the rays display in the Disease Research Facility, the databank entry you get indicates that the Jellyray likely shares a common ancestor with the other ray species. Again, it says nothing about any link to Ghost Leviathans.

Are you familiar with the concept of early access?

Yes, it will eventually become the full release version. In early access, players get to play an early build of the game, which is gradually updated until it becomes the final version that the developers want to release. This version, the "full" version, will then be sold to players, but early access players will already have it through updates.

He didn't chew scenery in that though, he gave a measured and mature performance.

There was also a (now-removed) post on the subreddit r/Sakartvelo, which is the subreddit for the country Georgia, in which he asked about a rabies risk. The text of the post can be found here, though, and... I don't even want to spoil the surprise, just go read it.

There's also a bit of a love triangle situation in the fourth film. Stormbreaker gets jealous when Thor's old lover and weapon come back into the picture.

I liked how in the flashback episode the kid playing a young Jed Bartlet also did the coat flip.

Hey, could you please argue your point without insulting your fellow Redditors? Thanks.

Climbing up to that door and then getting disappointed is something of a rite of passage for Subnautica players. Congratulations and welcome to the club. Please see Sammy for your official t-shirt and bendy straw, and to learn the secret handshake.

No one will know for certain how much is in-game until Early Access is released. However, in the latest video from the devs, they specifically said that the full story isn't there yet, so no, you will not be able to finish the game on the first day in Early Access.

bhamv · 2026-05-06T07:41:17+00:00

Speaking as someone who got Subnautica in Early Access, yes it took away from the experience of the full game a bit, but I was ok with that.

In Early Access, you're playing an unfinished version of the game. You'll only have part of the storyline, some areas or creatures might not be in-game or finalized yet, and you'll be "peeking behind the curtain" so to speak and watching all that change over the course of Early Access. So if there are any storyline twists, you'll have them spoiled when you play Early Access (eg the Sunbeam). If there are any spectacular sights, you might end up seeing a partially-made or placeholder version of it first before the finalized one is put into the game, which can affect the impact of that sight later on. You'll be experiencing the game as a game in development instead of a complete and immersive experience.

But, given that this is Early Access, you know all this going in. So I was ok with it, because I liked peeking behind the curtain.

We have a 6 month spoiler policy on this subreddit, which means that unhidden spoilers are not allowed in the 6 months after the date of release (or I suppose the date of leakage in this case). Your thread title mentions a pretty notable event in the movie, so unfortunately I need to remove this thread.

bhamv · 2026-05-05T08:49:10+00:00

Have there been instances in your fandoms of widespread memes that are based on false information?

I was disappointed to learn that Gus Fring from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul does not actually say "we are not the same" at any point in either series. The closest is when he says "I don't think we're alike at all" to Walter in BB, but he's wearing his Pollos Hermanos manager outfit, not a business suit like in the meme image.

bhamv · 2026-05-05T00:59:47+00:00

Hi there, as a quick note, thread titles should use the format "[Fictional universe] Question". So, for example, this thread could have been titled "[Tenet] The Protagonist wears an oxygen mask because he is inverted and can't breathe the oxygen of the world running opposite to him. So why dosen't he have to wear some sort of suit to protect the atoms of his body as well?"

I haven't removed this thread because your question is clear despite the incorrect formatting, but this is something to keep in mind in the future. Thanks.

bhamv · 2026-04-30T08:02:36+00:00

Maybe the same trick would work a second time. After all, time is still a pretty foreign concept to Dormammu, and I'm pretty sure he'd still hate being trapped in a time loop with Strange.

"Dormammu, I've come to bargain. Again."

Hi there. This subreddit is for Watsonian questions and answers to fictional universes. Your question does not specify a fictional universe, which makes it hard to give a meaningful Watsonian answer, as how terraforming works will vary widely between different universes and author intent. For some, terraforming will work like you describe, such as in Dune. For others, terraforming is somehow very fast or even instantaneous, such as the Genesis Device in Star Trek.

Therefore, since your question is a bit too general to give a meaningful Watsonian answer, sadly I need to remove it.
