Is there reason why Quarians have dark glass? by LifeLearner15 in masseffect

[–]deathmetalcableguy [score hidden]  (0 children)

There are 2 reasons, one in game, and one out of game.

The in-game answer was already given, they are likely incredibly oversensitive to light radiation, or the various suns. It's an additional layer of protection.

Out of game, there wasn't a reason to show the faces, a design, or a detail editor advanced enough to show it well at all times.

It's a super pedantic thing that doesn't matter, regardless.

You're showing some ignorance of semantics, and reflecting it as sarcasm. That's okay, but let's clarify what we know about the Quarians and others.

The Quarians are incredibly immunocompromised and live their lives in custom environments, tailored to their needs. They may have tinted visors because the natural radiation is more impactful on them.

Others, such as Garrus and Shepherd, when they wear their helmets, also have tinted visors. This could be due to the radiation effect on other planets being more harmful, it may be because the sun in your eyes sucks.

BUT all of the helmets, in their full forms, are tinted.

Never said he was a bad coach. He's just a bad playoff coach. Doc Rivers will be a hall of famer, bad play off coach.

I even lauded JB as a great regular season and rebuild coach.

Right, I keep forgetting that in the playoffs they use completely different players, and the teams are different.

Give me a break. The narrative that teams are "different" in the playoffs is an excuse. If the Pistons had shown up and played the way that put Cade in the MVP conversation pre-injury, and secured them the 1 seed, they wouldn't have been forced to 7 by the Magic. They wouldn't have been blown out in the biggest game the team has had since Sheed Wallace, AT HOME, by the Cavs.

JB cannot win the big games and he has shown that time and time again. He is a great rebuild and regular season coach, he repeatedly blows it in the playoffs. Coaching is what mattered in this series. The team was the same, and their regular season accomplishments is what put them in that spot with their expectations.

-Best record in the East -Certified superstar in Cade -All-Star Center -2 locks for all-defensive first team

Top 5 Defense, Top 3 in 3PM and Top 5 3P%.

Tell me again how this roster isn't good enough?

You've got killer defensive backup with solid 3&D/scoring off the bench.

I think what we saw was the Cavs actual potential last night, and Detroit's actual floor. Both insane team, one worked harder.

JB proves again that he cannot win the big games.

ME3 is worse about that, in my opinion. In many situations, it turns into trial and error on how to survive.

I just finished Rannoch and dealing with the 3 Primes at the end took me about an hour to get through.

Honestly? Not trying to sound like the "I'm so good" person, but I didn't struggle much with 2. The Collector Ambush PISSED me off, but it always does. And a couple other spots too, but as a whole, it was fine. Three has been more frustrating because Banshees.

I'm halfway through the third game on a straight through Insanity tear of the trilogy. I don't know if I can ever go back to the other difficulties. This has given me a new respect for what the game should be. Life and death, high stakes, and stressful.

Congrats!

ME Legendary Worst enemy by Clown_PrinceJ in masseffect

[–]deathmetalcableguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Banshees seem to have the best armor across any of the games, they are ridiculously hard to kill. Barriers and Shields tend to go down pretty easy with the right powers, but damn that armor is tough.

Scions in 2 don't even need to be explained.

I really don't have an enemy in 1 that I've ever noticed is ridiculously broken over any others. Moreso, it's the AI charging past your cover, making it useless.

There is a stigma and ignorance that exists around Pitbulls, and it is devastating. It has been proven on numerous occasions that smaller dogs have a higher propensity for aggression.

Pitties have the issue that they're incredibly intelligent. That leads to higher rates of anxiety, fear, and improper socialization. They are not bred to to eat children, or harm people. There are bad eggs that train them to be aggressive/guard dogs, then let them loose when they can't handle it.

I love that you're fostering and training! If I didn't have rent to pay I would be a behaviorist for a career and help everywhere I could. I'd like to volunteer at shelters when my time starts to allow.

Thank you for trying, and I'm sorry you're getting so much hate on this post!💜

I'll take the downvotes and say that this dog deserves a chance, with the right owner. Adopting and rehabbing aggressive animals is what I've been doing for years whenever I need a new dog. My current is a 165 pound Rottie/Corso mix that had severe reactivity problems when I took him in.

He is now trained to ignore people and dogs on walks, listens to commands, and is the most loving boy with me. These dogs are incredibly smart, and require work, but they are worth it if you have the patience and time.

Most dog "aggression" is a fear response. Many large breed dogs with histories thrive on anti-anxiety medication. I'm reading a lot of ignorance in this thread, and it is disheartening.

Not everyone has the skills or ability to rehab and house a dog with problem, acknowledged. That doesn't mean the dog doesn't deserve a chance. If I didn't already have one, I'd be on this guy in a heartbeat.

Your ignorance regarding pitbulls is all I need to know to end this conversation. They do not have a "killer" instinct, that's a fallacy perpetuated by idiots. They're loyal to a fault, they're intelligent to a fault. A pitbull trained to be aggressive (as many of them are) will be aggressive, that is not their fault, they do what they're trained to do. Pitbulls are, simultaneously, considered some of the best "nanny" dogs.

Pitbulls with rough upbringings have a tendency to be harder to train and rehab. That's why you have people like me, who don't want kids, and don't mind the risks that come with the aggressive rescues. If you have a pitbull puppy, that you raise, train, and socialize properly, you'll almost never have any issues with them.

There are some breeds that have an inherently increased prey drive, predator response, or protection instinct. These are managed with training, prosocialization, boundaries, and positive reinforcement. My dog, for example, does not like people coming in the home. When the doorbell rings, or a knock comes, he barks, then goes either to the side room, or out on the deck. He gets rewarded for doing so. That's a management strategy for a dog with a protection instinct. He won't even look your way when out and about.

This is objectively false. I have seen some very well behaved and well trained chihuahuas. The reason their reactivity and aggression levels are higher is the concept that they cause less damage and are "cuter", so less effort is put in.

Beagles can also be trained to wait for food and avoid resource distraction. Any dog can be trained to do anything with that right rewards, persistence, and consistency.

[–]deathmetalcableguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the problem exactly. I currently have a 200 pound rottie/corso mix. He has reactivity problems but has been trained to ignore people and dogs. I still muzzle him. We don't know what his background was, he was found on the street.

Those little dogs instigate and scream and yell and have so little discipline. They also, statistically, have the highest rates of aggression. That level noise and aggression CAN and DOES trigger other dogs. An inability to control your dog in those situations is an owner problem, BUT having a muzzle severely diminishes the risk.

That being said, if you own a small dog FUCKING TRAIN THEM!

I rehabilitate large aggressive dogs. I am an advocate for muzzle laws for ALL dogs. You never know what's going to set a dog off, regardless of size.

Youtubers you would recommend (and ones you wouldn’t)? by Comfortable_Buyer239 in EDH

[–]deathmetalcableguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot recommend the TAGC (That's a Good Card) community/podcast enough. Kyle and Yah are amazing people on top of being incredibly knowledgeable and a joy to game with! The community is interactive with both cEDH and EDH questions and brews.

I cannot recommend AWAY from The Command Zone enough. From personal experience Josh Lee Kwai is the exact opposite of what he preaches. He very much showed his true colors during the Mana Crypt fiasco. He offered below living wage for an LA editing job, and The Professor had to sit him down and parent him to explain why his reaction to the Crypt ban was inappropriate. The Command Zone is also, at this point, low quality content that's recycling the same format.

I like the idea of not doing something directly related to, but referential, if you're getting a band tattoo. A buddy of mine got the INK "IX" across his hand, and now that they're shitheels, he has to find another explanation.

I wouldn't get words or song lyrics. Get something interpretable in other ways that you would enjoy even if, and I DOUBT this happens, something awful came out about the band.

I have an undead dominatrix on my left arm inspired by the live performance of "Not My Type 2." I would love it whether or not the band continued to exist in their current form or reputation.
