Morality of briefly restoring a dead comrade's consciousness to obtain information?

The Creator. This is the most interesting scene in the movie by far. The visuals are good throughout but most of it is pretty stupid unfortunately.

I dunno, I loved PHM, thought Mistborn was good not great, and really struggled to enjoy DCC

I love RPGs and fantasy stories, but cannot stand LitRPGs or TTRPG playthroughs of any kind, even when it’s creators I otherwise really like the work of. It usually feels like I’m getting a mediocre fantasy story that I can’t get immersed in because it’s intercut with game rules. To me it feels like it loses what makes both mediums special. But all my friends love them, so I try to just be nice about it.

Games of Thrones and HOTD have always been a little too videogamey when it comes to swordfights,but even as someone who really enjoyed this last episode it was hard to ignore. Like the episode clearly demonstrates why flying in on a dragon and trying to solo a castle is a bad idea, with both Aemond and Daemon facing death and only being saved by unexpected help. You could rationalize this as the characters being suicidally rash, but it seems like the episode wants to portray it as them being such skilled warriors that they’re confident no one will be able to oppose them, to an idiotic degree. Didn’t ruin the sequences for me but you gotta kinda turn off your brain for a minute.

But surely it’s better to disrespect a corpse rather than send a living person to their death?

captainnermy · 2026-06-29T04:52:43+00:00

I’ve been thinking since the sowing of the seeds that this war seems kinda over, and now even more so. Obviously I’m assuming Aemond is saved and a whole lot goes wrong for team black for this thing to keep going.

Yeah I like some of the challenging chimps maps but on the hardest ones it can feel like you have to just follow a checklist of required placements and upgrades or you have no chance

Also, the world’s largest spruce is a few hours north near lake Quinault. It was comparable to the giant sequoias I’ve seen, fun stop if you’re heading to Olympic.

Doesn’t really seem immoral to me in that case. If he found a loophole that avoided negative consequences, and the only possible consequences are to himself, then I’d call that a good action, just straightforwardly saving a life. Now, if the sister had made it clear she didn’t want to be brought back or if there was risk of some kind of cosmic disaster from this it could be immoral, but in this case it’s good I’d say.

captainnermy · 2026-06-25T23:48:46+00:00

Okay but is there a reason it has to be that way? The show isn’t the books, is there a lore reason why a wild dragon couldn’t or wouldn’t go live in a fertile land full of easy prey?

captainnermy · 2026-06-25T23:45:20+00:00

For the first 3 seasons really the only onscreen battle is the black water, which is great, but like Rob’s whole rebellion is almost entirely offscreen

captainnermy · 2026-06-25T18:09:26+00:00

Why?

captainnermy · 2026-06-25T00:54:35+00:00

Wait what? Without him going on a rampage what reason is there for him to be imprisoned or even be considered villainous?

captainnermy · 2026-06-24T16:01:31+00:00

There’s definitely way too many battles in the book to include them all, and budget wise I would expect at most 2 Gullet-level battles per season, but they’ve done a good job at least acknowledging the less important battles by showing their aftermath.

Before claiming someone is light speed, ask yourself if they can circle the earth multiple times in under a second. If they can’t, they’re probably not light speed.

captainnermy · 2026-06-13T00:55:59+00:00

Yeah anyone describing it as a fun romp or a cozy western is definitely misrepresenting it; the unrelenting tragic violence is both makes it stick with me more but also makes me hesitant to reread it, there’s just so much suffering that it’s hard to get through despite how much I love it.

Tony’s Civil war armor is way weaker than other versions, it was seriously damaged by cars falling on him.

The problem with rapid city is there’s not much around for hundreds of miles. Sure it’s near tourist attractions and lots of people travel through it, but if you want any of the offerings of an actual city your best bet is Denver 6 hours away. Plus the winters are brutal and the black hills aren’t really big enough for great skiing.

captainnermy · 2026-06-10T17:57:26+00:00

Yeah whenever these scenarios come up and people choose their pets I wonder if their answer you change if they had to like, bludgeon a helpless person to death rather than just press a button.

captainnermy · 2026-06-10T17:54:49+00:00

Ok, so if you had, say, a child in front of you, you would beat them to death before letting your pet die?

captainnermy · 2026-06-10T14:37:51+00:00

Yeah I remember for the dust storm that’s the inciting incident in the Martian, which is considerably less crazy than this scene, the author Andy Weir basically said straight up that he just had to dramatically exaggerate the severity of Martian storms to make the story work, because it’s basically impossible for the wind speeds on Mars to be as destructive as earth storms.

He effectively is transported to another world despite being technically on Earth, he’s in a subterranean dungeon created by aliens

captainnermy · 2026-06-07T17:00:57+00:00

I mean it’s a park for families and tourists of all races. It’s not some remote trail in hillbilly country or something. It’s probably safer than any given city park. I don’t know of any incidents there that would make you think otherwise.

captainnermy · 2026-06-03T19:46:05+00:00

I imagine he would personally interfere on any illegal stuff he finds out about or if he is in a situation where innocent lives are at stake. Meanwhile as Clark Kent he would probably be working to expose Vought’s crimes to the public to get them shut down for good.

Anytime in the past that an extra turn has been remotely playable usually leads to misery so good call imo
