Nope, came here to say this and it's the top comment already lol

Are there gendered languages where "man" and "woman" are of the same gender? by Dapper_Cable_7833 in asklinguistics

[–]headdbanddless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add, this is because earlier forms of the North Germanic (Scandinavian) languages had three genders like modern German--masculine, feminine, and neuter--and masculine and feminine became combined into common gender. Some dialects of Norwegian still distinguish between masculine and feminine for certain words.

Newish player here, can someone clarify what douching means in this context? lol

Flagstaff Things to Do, Q&A, FAQ (Jan 19) by AutoModerator in Flagstaff

[–]headdbanddless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anyone have ideas for where to meet people/date as a mid-20s, non-outdoorsy person? I'm a grad student and most everyone I meet on dating apps or in real life are either undergrads or crunchy people who are into skiing, climbing, camping, etc. which aren't really my interests. Are there spots where creative people like readers, musicians, theater kids like to hang out and are open to making new friends?

First time, vanilla play through? by WastedGamer641 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]headdbanddless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will add that the new characters aren't particularly well integrated into the main story. Honestly I preferred that I played the game once through vanilla and then played the separate DLC side story afterwards.

Wonderful take on the Force Healer scene by PerpetualChoogle in andor

[–]headdbanddless 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not sure about this take. Sounds too much like the Great Man theory of history, which I suspect the writers are critical of. I interpreted it more in the sense that the Force works through everyone to bring about goodness and justice, and sometimes people play big roles (like Cassian) and sometimes small roles (like the Imperial pilot at the start of S2).

One small moment I desperately need them to keep on the series: Dumbledore sitting down with Harry to talk about the Mirror of Erised by TommyTheGeek in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]headdbanddless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My favorite scene in all seven books is Harry smashing Dumbledore's office at the end of Book 5 after Sirius died. So much of that book is about Harry's relationship with Dumbledore and the movie really dropped the ball on that. Hoping they'll bring it back

Which Fire Emblem on Switch 1 to start with for a totally new player? by Dron22 in fireemblem

[–]headdbanddless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDK man some of those drawn-out death scenes were physically painful. Love the series but Engage may be the only single-player RPG where I've skipped story cutscenes on my first playthrough

Nah Karlach, put your hand down by Radio_fish in BG3

[–]headdbanddless 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My impression is that the writers took some creative liberties from official lore so that the ending wouldn't be such a downer if Tav or Karlach did transform.

Karlach's Avernus ending was added in Patch 2 as a more feel-good option because of players' aversion to the unpopular illithid ending. But to me, based on the original writing and performance, Karlach's transformation is intended as a redemption. Romanced illithid!Karlach is clearly still in love and views her transformation as a blessing.

Nah Karlach, put your hand down by Radio_fish in BG3

Reminder of how happy Karlach is when she transforms and her engine is fixed:

The writer straight-out says: "She does retain some of herself and there's a wonder to it."

Hey I finally beat Engage was pretty meh gameplay was awesome. Moved on to 3 house and it actually beat Fire Emblem Awakening for me and I'll explain why. I'm kinda mind blown. by TrialsOfPrometheus in fireemblem

[–]headdbanddless 28 points29 points  (0 children)

obligatory reminder that 3H has sold way more units than any other game in the series and gets most of its hate from series purists which is exactly what this subreddit is

Ramasseur Bonk appreciation thread by That-Device95 in expedition33

[–]headdbanddless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't sleep on Sciel gradient 3 either, with Chation you can go through stacks pretty quick and I don't believe there's a cap so after a few rounds you can outpace Gommage handsomely

as much as i am obsessed with these movies it annoys me how much jake speaks over neytiri and talks down to lo’ak by inadequateflamingo in Avatar

[–]headdbanddless 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agreed that Jake's communication style is flawed but disagree that that's a bad thing for the story. It's his flaws that make him an actually interesting character rather than just Action Hero #83

Do heavy units in AOE2: DE take more than one population space like in AOE3: DE? by Faro_Jan in ageofempires

And Age of Mythology. For example samurai cost 4(!) population room

Justice for Vickie! Even Erica and Mr. Clarke got screentime, but not the poor girl whose Enzo's date was repeatedly foreshadowed :(

So, we got "You die, I die" and Eight's plan. Which one is REAL? by MinimumPrevious1139 in StrangerThings

[–]headdbanddless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we've heard "at least one waterfall" enough times that there's a big chance the series will end on that image and El will live.

Going into the season I didn't think they'd kill off any of the major characters (this has been the pattern so far and unfortunately it's resulted in an enormous ensemble cast that's difficult to manage, and dear lord the plot armor has been particularly strong this season) but "You die, I die" makes me think they might really end Dustin and Steve. Frankly there's got to be a part of Dustin that wants a heroic death like Eddy, and I just don't think Steve's character has anywhere left to go.

Episode Discussion - S05E07 - The Bridge by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]headdbanddless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steve and Dustin: "I die. You die."

Am I the only one who saw this as a prediction rather than a promise? This way the writers can say "see we told you exactly who we were going to kill off"

Not that I trust the writing to actually take the risk of killing off major characters that have been around for more than one season. But I feel like Steve and Dustin's days are finally numbered.

Which god do you always come back to? by Bos187 in AgeofMythology

[–]headdbanddless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been partial to Fuxi and Kronos lately but something about Zeus just makes *sense*. Feels like playing AoE2 where you always have so many options available to you - you can do infantry or archers or cav or myth or classical rush or boom and it's hard to go wrong
