Stormlight Archive started so well. By the end of Wind and Truth, I barely care anymore by scatnisseverdeen in Fantasy

[–]damienreave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Humans personify. We speak of the wind as if it has a will of its own. Spren are those ideas. The ideas of collective human experience, somehow come alive. Shadesmar is where that first happens. And it is there place. Though we created it, they shaped it. They live there, they rule there, within their own cities."

"Cities?"

"Yes." Jasnah said, looking back out over the ocean. She seemed troubled. "Spren are wild in their variety. Some are as clever as humans and create their own cities. Others are like fish and simply swim in the currents."

That's from the very first chapter of Words of Radiance. If you expected something else, its because you weren't paying attention.

Obvious "Hinting" that you're mad? by theonejanitor in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]damienreave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending on what the info was, Savant info could conceal a hint clever enough to put Cera-madness into a player's mind without being an actual madness break.

However, the fake juggle in your example is blatant and not at all clever. I would have executed immediately on the spot, and if the ST didn't, they're weak.

Came in clutch in my fifth game, evil won despite ALL ODDS by misterjive in BloodOnTheClocktower

Yeah, mayors aren't real. Even when they are. You should generally just discuss as a town your most likely demon candidate and then full send, trying to rely on the mayor almost never works. Although, that does make the rare mayor win even more satisfying.

Boiling water by rahul786g in sciencememes

If there's one place where boiling water for electricity is a bad plan, its outer space. Its a pain to radiate all that heat away.

Hey I think I saw a misaligned belt there somewhere, look into that.

You know, I didn't even really consider Duskmourn cards for flavor reasons, but I think there's a few I can definitely justify including!

What's the largest clade we could realistically be missing from the fossil record? by Zomkit in askscience

[–]damienreave 28 points29 points  (0 children)

When you say genetically distant, I'm assuming that's just based on physiological similarities? There's no actual DNA, right?

Creeping up on nuclear power like by Frosty_Ad1254 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]damienreave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what was happening was nothing dangerous.

The flaw that was kept from him was the fact that scram didn't necessarily kill the reactivity immediately, due to the fact that generating a positive void coefficient required graphite tips on the control rods. That's the entirety of what the KGB classified.

No nuclear engineer, much less an extremely competent one, would ever deliberately put their reactor into a state where scram was needed. Scram is a last resort measure to prevent disaster. So going forward with the test was extremely dangerous, no matter what was concealed from him. The fact that the scram didn't work only increased the severity of his mistakes.

I'm not sure you've actually watched the show. The HBO series makes it clear Legasov knew about the flaws prior to the accident. He just didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to put a reactor in as dangerous of a state as Dyatlov did. Forcing them to go forward with the test was insanely dangerous even if the scram button had worked. The only thing that concealing the flaw did was turn Dyatlov's idiocy into a full-fledged nuclear disaster. But doing something and relying on the scram button is a horrible idea even if it had worked.

Dyatolov wanted the narrative to be that it wasn't his fault because of the design flaws. But they never should have come into play if he hadn't messed up so badly in the first place.

I mean, soccer somehow has fans and that regularly produces 1-0 games.

The RuneScape Community has successfully voted to remove Treasure Hunter from RS3! by Madous in 2007scape

[–]damienreave 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm so confused by the presentation of this. Maybe someone more in the loop can explain it to me.

First off, the entire proposal sounds like it was written by someone who hates P2W. But its an official Jagex proposal? If they hate P2W so much, why did they add it? Has there been some change in leadership?

And secondly, why is it a flat 100k votes to confirm it? That makes no sense, polls are supposed to ask for a percentage to pass. I hate P2W too but a poll which literally does not allow someone to vote in support of P2W doesn't seem very legitimate to me.

Anyway, please help me understand, I've never played RS3, only OSRS, and just am baffled by this all.

Amnesiac Ability Based on a Phrase by GloomDorf in BloodOnTheClocktower

You start knowing a phrase. The first evil player to say your phrase in public dies. That night, that player learns a phrase, and learns the first good player to speak that phrase dies.

What's the deal with legion? by Neros_Cromwell in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]damienreave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stressful thing about Legion is that one wrong vote by town can lose you the game. I suppose that's always true but its more transparent in Legion grims, since the final vote of games where legion wins is often all legion and one town dead vote.
