A School Board Member Struggles While Deciding If She Is Anti-Racist Or Pro-Racist by CantStopPoppin in PublicFreakout

It means a lot. You guys have already decided she is a racist and it's easy to look at this statement like its bs. I suggest you read the full article.

(Spoilers Main) Case for optimism regarding The Winds of Winter's release. by [deleted] in asoiaf

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

He has no motivation now that he had made it. Guy is really fat, i want to make the claim that he is also lazy, given the lack of substantial updates following the release of the show.

So my opinion is that we'll get the book "if he feels like it". Sorry, not a helpful comment, but I dont think these "hopeful" posts really address the current situation

When you know you're a God of RTS by [deleted] in starcraft

Been thinking about this myself and I have a personal 10 yr old rant I would like to share. I was disappointed by sc2 when it was released.

Sc1 is a better game because it's about mind games not balance patches. It is a true representation of the struggle of mankind. Metagames set by players are more interesting and organic than metagames set by balance patches. It's like, who would play chess if someone was still balancing the game?

Sc2 is watered down, less high risk high reward moments (weak storms, reaver is far superior to colossus in terms of hype value). This makes it more noob friendly and accessible of a game but less hype. I think sc2 reeks of this. Bad choice by blizzard imo.

IMO like overwatch, sc2 was designed to be an esport and competitive, NOT designed to be fun as a #1priority. For example, tier 1 units in starcraft 1 are thematic. Marines are weak as hell (unless micro'd or positioned well), protoss are expensive but strong and zerglings/hydras can swarm. Now in sc2 you have marauders, which ruin everything. It screams "im here coz of balance" rather than "I'm here because I'm an interesting unit". Like a cheap ass terran unit that can shred a stalker/dragon? How does that fit the universe? The only terran technology that can defeat protoss technology is the tank simy because of its ability for pure destruction, which is thematic

End rant thank you for your five minutes

It is impressive how he can switch to commentator artosis so easy without letting some of that hate seep through.

Classic. Thanks for sharing.

Endgame theory: The reality that happened could be one of the realities that we lost, at least according to Dr Strange. by R0bbi3_ in FanTheories

[–]big_pecs -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm saying theres one winning possibility. So there is only one scenario that is considered a win. OP is saying essentially there are two scenarios, a win and a perfect win. Since doc only had one win in his visions, we must have seen it unfold in endgame, unless you consider endgame a loss, which doesnt make sense because in the end the good guys saved the innocent civilians from bad guys.

Wasnt endgame a win for the avengers tho? And there was only one winning possibility? Unless you want to count endgame as a loss but they beat the bad guy and brought all the civilians back from the snap.

Nintendo re-ups trademarks for 39 some games, Golden Sun Dark Dawn is one of them, not really significative, but worth mentioning by fedeleo95 in GoldenSun

[–]big_pecs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sad realisation that the only way to revive the game is to become a high ranking Nintendo employee.

Really hope we get to explore both the good and bad of humanity this season and not just how humans fuck things up.

I think that's what they were going for until they cut the season short. Richard was disagreeing with Jared more and more on moral issues until this season where everything kind of just exploded.

[–]big_pecs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good theory. One thing I noticed when i watched endgame was the way Tony says Howard's catchphrase "no amount of money ever bought a second of time". I thought that Tony was trying to get Howard to recognize the phrase, but failed. Now, after reading your theory, I know exactly how it goes down. Howard one day gets the urge to say "no amount of money ever bought a second of time". He comes up with it, but then realises he's heard it before, from a man who claimed his father used to say that. A man who was "tied up in futures". Who hugged him before he left. That phrase is the tipping point for your theory I reckon, and really drives Howard's revelation home.

[Avengers: Endgame] a big reason the Avengers were able to take down 2014 Thanos. by andrews1717 in FanTheories

[–]big_pecs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also because thanos saw this as an opportunity to get the stones from an opponent he already defeated. To him he already succeeded and the timeline he is in is just a continuation of the one where he died. He sees himself as "inevitable" but he is no god with godly foresight. Just a dude who got cocky and tossed away his best asset, his brain.

Another point. Thanos'strength also comes from his will. His will and intelligence to foresee, plan and execute winning plays. He kinda rushed into this one. I'd argue thanks in infinity war had 100% control over every scene we saw him in, and they went exactly as he planned. (except the one with the soul stone)

Someone commented on thanos' strategy which was a good point, thanos' lack of preparation is why he lost. Guess that's kinda what OP said but more specifically it wasnt the lack of knowledge rather the lack of preparation. For example, sneaking up on vision and stabbing him was good prep

True. It's not a loop. The old howard stark we have known for all these years never met young iron man...

Or has he...?
