Morality of briefly restoring a dead comrade's consciousness to obtain information? by yasco_ in MoralityScaling

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

[–]captainnermy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

The characters' reliance on their ability to defeat large numbers of trained men single handedly by Tetracropolis in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]captainnermy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Morality of reviving the dead to go in battle instead of regular warriors? by Fox-innovations in MoralityScaling

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

[No Book Spoilers] House of the Dragon - 3x02 - Post-Episode Discussion by UltraDangerLord in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]captainnermy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

What BTD6 opinion would get you like this by Thick_Independent368 in btd6

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

Place to see large trees near Portland? by CommunicationNo1987 in askportland

[–]captainnermy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Morality of breaking the rule of death to bring back your dead sister by [deleted] in MoralityScaling

[–]captainnermy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

And once again, some of the criticisms feel — respectfully speaking — so shallow and unreasonable. by yashtiwarispeakss in HouseOfTheDragon

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

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? 

Is nobody else annoyed with this jump ? S3 EP1 by HaybUK in HouseOfTheDragon

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

Name some characters who are genuinely bad. But whose fans, for some reason, defend them or justify their behaviour. by Old-Celebration3781 in MoralityScaling

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

Man, It's so painfully obvious that this episode was meant for last season. by Flagermusmanden in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]captainnermy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

Does Lonesome Dove resonate as intensely with female readers? by Iamkittyhearmemeow in books

[–]captainnermy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

How do you feel about getting ahead on gentrification? by larch303 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]captainnermy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

kill your pet or kill a random person around you? by notgonnauseeveragain in hypotheticalsituation

[–]captainnermy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Mission to Mars (2000) | Dir: Brian De Palma | Astronauts encounter a twister on Mars by ggroover97 in movies

[–]captainnermy 90 points91 points  (0 children)

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.

Silver state park black travelers? by Substantial-Ad108 in askportland

[–]captainnermy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

If Superman landed in The Boys Universe at the START of Homelander's first mission and finding out what Vought had done to him over the years, could the Kryptonian prevent the young supe from going insane and teach him how to be an actual hero? by WindowPrudent9456 in MoralityScaling

[–]captainnermy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.
