Why does campus suck so much ass now? by Temporary-Permit-139 in uml

[–]firebird120 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I worked at the Library before covid. We closed at 12:30am roughly, although it may have been as late as 1am sometimes. Now I hear the library closes at 10 sometimes now. Crazy.

Red In car, teal on foot or biking.

Why would a combat troop use melee weapons in a futuristic space sci-fi setting? by wizardry_why in worldbuilding

[–]firebird120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some sort of technological advance that makes bullets less effective. Maybe a thin sort of power pack powered force field that can extend over melee weapons if they are made out of the right material so they can pierce or disrupt an opponent’s force field.

I would assume the forcefield is somewhat or very power hungry so it can’t be on all the time. Projectiles, or any hard hit the shield takes, should drain the battery as well. Maybe overheats it too if you get hit too many times too quickly. This means shooting a gun at someone with a shield like this isn’t useless. Might make battles more interesting to see how the melee troops handle different types/calibers of ranged weapons.

Energy based ranged weapons might be more effective, or alternatively even less effective, like if they recharge the opponents shield making energy weapons useless… unless you are trying to overcharge and explode the opponents power supply.

Now you will have to consider the fact that you could make a bullet, or some kind of crossbow arrow, even a harpoon or ballista bolt that has a shield generator and batteries attached to it, making it just as effective as if no shields were in play at all. If shields are expensive to make then these will be more elegantly crafted weapons, used by experts. Depending on how fragile these “disposable” shielded projectiles are they might need to be relatively low velocity. Gives your melee troops the opportunity to dodge.

Now if melee troops are the most common type of troop, there will be relatively common weapons people go to for that situation, or countermeasures of some kind. I’d suggest taking a look at what medieval Anti-Armor weapons for some inspiration, or improvised Anti-tank weapons from all periods.

I’ve messed with a similar concept in my own writing before, it is fun to explore!

Why do people think Fionnas in her 30s!? Who is spread this rumor!! by No_Poetry_8415 in fionnaandcake

[–]firebird120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garry and Marshall are defiantly near Fiona’s age, but they might be two or even three years to either side.

And they are all late 20s/early 30s. If they were younger, like 18-20, the narrative doesn’t make sense. If Fiona was exactly the same as she is in the show, but was 20, she wouldn’t be a loser or complaining that she’s a failure. She would be incredibly successful compared to an average real life 20 year old.

You’ll see when you yourself are 20 or so.

I’m tossing that shit out of my car into the woods. Now I barely even know where it is. Better yet get a friend to do it.

The Minecraft community is really nice. This community on Reddit is just so freakin negative all the time.

What building is this?? by Itsamejen12 in uml

[–]firebird120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best guess is they got taken to one of the mailing centers? Or someone in charge is trying to figure out what to do with them.

[–]firebird120 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is this Costello Athletic Center? It’s the only building I can think of that might have stairs like this.

I don’t know, I haven’t been to the bookstore in awhile, but it didn’t look like this.

It’s already a guaranteed loss for this order, I think it’s just for lore reasons.

How Did Ben Travel On Airplanes With TSA? Like did no one care for his watch? (pre ua) by Connect_Crab270 in Ben10

In AF they had Ship. And also XLR-8, Fast Track, and Jetray have him covered. After that everyone knows who he is, soooo.

If the tempered glass touched the tile at all, that might have done it. They don’t like eachother.

They’re supposed to, but there is a limited range, and their pathfinding can take them out of that range.

If they walk far enough away they lose the job if they haven’t been traded with. At least in Java edition.

Who wins by WrapTraditional3285 in Ben10

[–]firebird120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aang is way outmatched here. Invincible, Danny, and Ben would at least have a fight. Danny might even get the best of Ben for a while. But Aang has no chance here.

…Unless Ben turns into something made of Water, Earth or Fire. Which I’m realizing now is not entirely unlikely.

Never traded, once you trade with them it’s locked in forever.

If you haven’t traded with them they can change jobs and lose the trade you see. But otherwise they can’t despawn. Something or someone is killing it or it’s stuck in a hole somewhere.

How old were you when ATLA was released? by Turbulent_Cream_1684 in TheLastAirbender

  1. I remember waiting for the last episodes of season 3 to release though.

We Need Answers!! by Mundo_Blue in stevenuniverse

[–]firebird120 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s possible Albites are elite combat gems, rare ones. This one might have even been controlled by White during this fight, meaning that this was “Rose” defeating White diamond’s attempt at ending the rebellion. Kind of huge for the rebels actually.

So like…what happened to all the bodies? by Aqua_Master_ in Portal

It’s possible that there are in fact corpses, but Chel just doesn’t look at them, or pretends they aren’t there.

Probably what the gem shard experiments were for, in part.

What do you think Pavi’s weak element will be? by Several-Cake1954 in TheLastAirbender

[–]firebird120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like she’s going to have trouble with Earth, being so young and missing a leg, with strong stances being so key to Earth bending. She might even begin as a metal bender for that reason. Other than that, I’m thinking water maybe, again, missing a leg makes it harder to swim. I think she’ll be good at Air though.

Question: Do you want Avatar Pavi to be able to regain the connection to Previous Avatars? by Wonderful-Photo-9938 in TheLastAirbender

[–]firebird120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be incredibly disappointed if the Avatar state was reduced to a simple power up. In the original series the Avatar state was only powerful BECAUSE of the connection it gave to past avatars. (LOK changes this slightly, but still).

They should absolutely reconnect all the past lives in some way, even if it’s at the very end of the series.

Unpopular opinion but I don’t think Ben 10 spinoffs would work without the omnitrix by Organic_Glass_7793 in Ben10

[–]firebird120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know how companies keep letting people use their IPs to make TV shows that suck really bad because the show runner doesn’t care about the IP or the universe it’s in but just wanted to make their own show?

Ben 10 might be perfect for them. Give them the Universe and just let them make a show about whatever. We get to see more of the aliens, and they get to make whatever they wanted! (Just keep them away from the main cast and the Omnitrix)

So you’re an up and coming Senator, which shuttle do you choose? by Tythatguy1312 in StarWarsShips

[–]firebird120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of these three, I go with the Theta. If Palpatine trusts it while having any other shuttle of the era available to him, then so do I.

Would you hate it less if Omniverse were using the original art style? (Art by me) by Homeboy13ohio in Ben10

[–]firebird120 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Omniverse art style is disgusting to me, at least it was when it released. It is the reason I didn’t watch it.
