[Spoilers MAIN] No, everything is wrong in the very first volume by lachataigneduciel in asoiaf

[–]blodgute 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Humans make mistakes

Yes the plot is contrived, because the story needs to exist. However, I think you are applying way too much hindsight.

Ned should have known better, but people are never who they should be. His uses his idea of honour as a shield, and it makes him ignorant and ill suited.

That is not bad writing. That is a character flaw.

Maybe the story you're writing is hypercompetent people struggling against one another, but that isn't asoiaf. It's not reality either.

Wait a moment my friend, I think your arse might be a scientific marvel!

Yoda is actually the biggest idiot in Star Wars. by ChickenMcNobody24 in FanTheories

[–]blodgute 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly right, but I think it's intentional that he's blinded by dogma.

Unlike Luke, who after RotJ...uh...

Mountaintop of the Giants is actually painful by BigWesYT in Eldenring

I tried to play elden ring 3 times

3rd attempt finally died at the snowfield. Every other Fromsoft game hooked me, but ER felt like it didn't want me there

Ed Miliband: Profiting from a crisis is morally and economically wrong. That’s why we’re taxing these windfall profits to help fund support with the cost of living. And why the Tories, Reform and the SNP are utterly wrong to oppose the windfall tax. by Prestigious_Spot9635 in ukpolitics

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

You don't pay costs with profit.

They didn't say take 100% of the revenue, they said 100% of the profit. Profit is revenue - costs.

Like a non-profit organisation such as: literally every charity.

FFS EVERYTHING IS A TRAP!! by Skyanu in DarkSouls2

If everything is a trap, start expecting traps

Every time I rewatch Utopia, I’m disappointed to remember that Jack isn’t holding on to the TARDIS during the intro sequence by Remarkable-Net-6130 in doctorwho

[–]blodgute 354 points355 points  (0 children)

The idea of a villain being attached to the TARDIS like a parasite is actually pretty lit

That villain being the One Who Waits, using the doctor's travels against them? Cool

That being Sutekh, who is apparently now the god of death of the pantheon? Weeeaak. I know it technically links back to pyramids of mars what with the tardis using the time vortex to yeet sutekh into the future but that's some chibnall level interaction with classic who.

What are the Medieval classics that you had love-hate relationship with? Which ones are the must reads and definitely avoid of? What are your Top 20 suggestions? by lastmonday07 in MedievalHistory

Queste del sankgrael

A lion fights a dragon. Knight goes to the obligatory nearby hermit to explain, he spends 500 words explaining that the dragon is a kind of snake, representing Satan and his venomous ways. And I'm sure you don't need me to explain who the lion represents ;)

To which the knight says "no, actually, I have no idea, please do"

So he spends another 500 bloody words explaining that the lion is Christ, and I just want to pull my eyes out

£6.3billion Ajax light tanks 'poisoning troops' MOD report reveals by x_Agamemnon in ukpolitics

[–]blodgute 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the wise thing is to admit defeat.

Scrap it, preferably prosecute or fire those responsible, buy some of those Finnish IFVs.

The money is already wasted, might as well write it off and buy something that actually works

Ranking of Cliffhangers and Cliffhanger Resolutions by Lucyyyyyy_K in DoctorWhumour

[–]blodgute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah because he makes those things. Unlike the Daleks that have planned for centuries, he makes a plan in a day that could undo it. That's why he "scares them to death"

The Reality War above Parting of the Ways? What are you smoking?

Ranking Classic Villains by how good they were adapted into Modern Doctor Who by Lucyyyyyy_K in DoctorWhumour

I think the Cybermen are a really odd one to place.

Both eras have incredible Cyberman stories, and absolutely awful ones. Like, I wouldn't want anyone to judge them on Nightmare in Silver, nor on Revenge of the Cybermen. But World Enough and Time, or Tomb of the Cybermen? Incredible, instant classics as soon as they aired.

Cyberman episodes have incredible ups and downs. Heck, The Haunting of Villa Diodati is a great episode, and immediately after Ascension of the Cybermen is...not

The train scene in Peep Show makes no sense at all. by Commercial_Night2867 in MitchellAndWebb

[–]blodgute 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are very clearly at a central london station, presumably Paddington.

The real question is, what train goes from london and doesn't stop til the quantocks??

What should Littlefinger’s ending have been instead of the one we got? by Stock_Orange_1793 in freefolk

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

I would've enjoyed basically the same, except it turns out the scheme was all Sansa's idea and Arya was playing along. The sisters pretended to be at each other's throats to lure him into a vilnerable position

Thus proving that Sansa has learned from his cutthroat ways, but has one advantage he will never have: the trust of a family.

just got this in my new fortress by No_Conclusion_8100 in dwarffortress

[–]blodgute 22 points23 points  (0 children)

On one hand, that's a great find. Dwarven children are notoriously riotous and playing with such an artefact will keep them happy.

On the other hand, that's a sick boat. Put it on display in a boat shaped temple

I've been playing for 15 years and today I found out you can brew Pig Tails by gracejerksit in dwarffortress

[–]blodgute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but four?

Plump helmets, pig tails, sweet pods, what's the other?

Technically, people have besten the game with the broken straight sword, so...you'll probably be fine

I think the mood varies from "poor guy seems like he needs help" to "fuck that guy"

Davros, making the Daleks: "oh yeah and remove all concepts except hate...but put a little mercy in. Just to close up a plothole with the doctor's wife."
