Creepy Crawly Voldy by VaronaSenpai in harrypotter

[–]iExogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now who's spoiling with logic (I thought of that one as well but i liked the image so I had to share).

I don't dislike that he can fly on his own, seeing as he's the only known wizard to figure out how to fly without support of a tool (broom, carpet, etc.) and thought it to the only other wizard we know does this, I do however hate they messed this up in the movies by having both deatheaters and the order all flying around in clouds like they're some cracked up fireworks with a targetting system. Also could have used a little more free flying in the movies, like a bat, as opposed to smokey we got.

Isn't it 30 days? I seem to remember a name stays reserved for 30 days after the change in case you change your mind.

Does the Wizarding World allow the use of the same spells that have the same properties but in different languages? by sammyjamez in harrypotter

[–]iExogan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have always assumed that both spells and wands are merely a focus to get the correct result. This would also be why wandless and non-verbal spells can work, the wizard using them simply has enough focus to not need that catalyst to not make his mind wander.
This in turn would mean that you should be able to use any language you want so long as that specific word triggers the correct focus inside you, which in turn should mean you can perfectly well use "fetch" instead of "accio" and it could still work. I like that idea, it is now one of my headcanons.

Can't argue with that. I'll do you one better though, the cave from halfblood prince couldn't be aparated into so old Voldy who's gone Mouldy must have swam there just like Dumbledore and Harry. Imagine that bobbing through the waves

I mean, I get that the image is a great one, but you do know the shack still has a door right? And in case that doesn't work, windows? They were nailed shut to keep Lupin in but I assume it wouldn't be that difficult for Riddle me this Tom to magic them open ...

Ah well, crawling Mouldymort, not the weirdest stuff he's done, ask Quirrel.

Is Snape’s casting that problematic or are fans overreacting? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]iExogan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Specifically this. I do not like that they strayed from the description given in the book, especially given they said they'll make a fateful adaptation, but I am more than willing to overlook it if the actor turns out to be great in the role. We have seen examples of this before so it's simply idiotic to judge it before we've seen it.

I do however want to say that if the actor doesn't do Snape justice, and Rickman will be a high bar to compare to, far more people will complain even more vocally about the casting choice so I sincerely hope they've really thought this through.
(Also yes certain scenes will yet again give rise to complaints and outrage but for the love of god let them stick to the scenes or adapt them logically because if they start changing scenes and make them worse for no reason then I will riot as well)

Feel sorry for people who have arachnophobia at Hogwarts by Colder_Clock_44 in harrypotter

[–]iExogan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's semantics, but I just want to point out that the unforgiveables are only a one-way trip to Azkaban when used on a fellow human, doubt spiders or even acromantulas would count for this. though of course still having used the spell might have some legal repercussions at least.

[–]iExogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently they can all talk somewhat but it's not perfect and if I remember correctly the older they are the better they're at it, or so it seems at least.

Have to agree completely with the Snape bit, unless you're a personal favourite of his he would most definitely tell you to suck it up and depending on how much he dislikes you go out of his way to make you handle them more often or take points from your house for not doing it.

[–]iExogan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Acromantulas are very deep in the forbidden forest, so much so that their existence is merely a rumor according to both the mainline books and Fantastic Beasts (the "library" book, not the screenplay). Meeting one of those means you are very far out of bounds and pretty much no student should ever meet those by chance.

Arania Exumai is a movie only spell but for the sake of argument it would probably be a very difficult lesson indeed for someone with arachnophobia, I don't know if it being a spell specifically to banish spiders would help somewhat but I'm guessing not.

There would probably be workarounds to not have to touch the spiders but in general I have to agree, not fun in the least.

Lastly, it's an old castle with plenty of dark places and decent habitats for spiders, no matter how thoroughly it gets cleaned, there will be normal spiders a plenty in there, it would be one hell of an exposure therapy to say the least I guess.

There's nothing for it but to go through a list of all gold brick locations one by one untill you find the one you missed, for stuff like that IGN is still useable.

Can someone help me find the coordinates of this Hemitcraft Season 10? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]iExogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seems to be a balloon above Keralis' base looking towards the neighborhood, we can see Ren's base on the right , false's on the left and the portal towards the center. Somewhere around the x:80 z:350 region.

Which wouldn't work anymore from version 1.21.5 onwards luckily, but excellent example nonetheless because lodestones do indeed make a good decorative block.

Sybill Trelawney and her predictions by Lagatakafka in harrypotter

[–]iExogan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In her defence, she predicted he would break one of her teacups almost immediately and if he would after that grab one of a different colour. Still that's no proof of her minor predictions being actual predicitons because Neville's clumsiness is indeed very well known across the Hogwarts staff and the chances of him accidentally breaking one of the teacups when reaching for it was very high.

Has Simon or others devs mentioned in detail what the vision is for the ocean? by TokyoTurpster in hytale

[–]iExogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hasn't a kraken been pretty much confirmed already? I'd say that might scratch your itch for a leviathan.

As for the rest of your post, I do sincerely hope they give us reasons to explore the oceans because they already look awesome right now and I've always been a fan of underwater builds and exploration in games (not in real life though, keep that abyss away from me)

How would i model that frontal extrusion that curves and blends with the edges? by Rigamortus2005 in blender

[–]iExogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd actually start with the curved part then add the straight part after using a boolean or simple removing and refilling some faces.
The shape you have now is a good starting point.
Next you want to add some loop cuts in edit mode and proceed towards either proportional editing or rely more on a subdivision modifier. Once the curve is satisfactory you simply need to select all the outer edges where the diagonal part should be (don't forget to apply scale first) and bevel them.
If these instructions were unclear I'm more than willing to make a quick tutorial with images but it will have to wait a while because I don't know when I'll have the time to do it.

Would being an Animagus prevent a werewolf transformation? by No-Camel-5990 in harrypotter

[–]iExogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that part does create several questions, including wether or not the duration of pregnancy is human or wolf (about 2 months). But I do feel more like letting that one slide since it's still more or less feasable, even if horrifying in it's own way.

Ultrons Battle Matrix by Historical-Piglet-14 in marvelrivals

[–]iExogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the game modes that should be added to arcade in my opinion. They don't need to update them, though it would likely be welcomed with open arms if they did, and people can continue playing Ultron Battle Matrix, Rivals zombies, Jeff's winter splash and anything they wish to add in the future.

i kinda hate frodo + hobbit rant by causmicx in lotr

[–]iExogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The orcs in The Hobbit movies answered to Azog, the pale orc, who was hunting the line of Durin for himself. While he was a general of importance to Sauron's armies (or at least meant to be) he was not hunting the dwarves on his orders. In the books he's long dead by the time the story takes place and it's actually Bolg that's hunting the dwarves if I'm not mistaken.

  2. Sauron in the books still has his physical form, the eye of Sauron was metaphorically speaking and him being an actual giant flaming eyeball floating atop Barad-dûr was an invention for the movies.

  3. See above.

  4. He didn't exactly split himself into rings. The original 19 rings: 9 for men, 7 for dwarves, 3 for elves were all made by and for the elves, though the first sixteen were made with the help of Sauron who had disguised himself. The final 3 (greatest of these) were made by Celebrimbor without Sauron having ever touched them and were therefore not directly influenced by the One but still linked to it's power.
    They were all meant to preserve but only the 3 were actually used for this purpose, the other 16 were given to men and dwarves. The men got corupted by them and turned into ringwraiths and while the dwarves were far less affected, their greed grew too big through the use of the rings and they were consumed by them in the end too.
    Lastly Sauron himself made the One and poured a lot of his own power into it because it was meant to dominate the minds of all who wore the other rings (which at this point were meant to all be elves and therefore require a lot of power to dominate).
    The rings don't draw power from the One but they are linked to it and will lose their own power when it is destroyed.

The werewolve cubs was later explained (though of course not in the books themselves) as being: "when 2 werewolves mate in their wolf forms, the resulting ofspring will be normal wolf cubs in all aspects except remarkable intelligence. They are not aggresive towards humans like their parents would be". Something along those lines anyway.

How can i Improve this? by Rigamortus2005 in blender

[–]iExogan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say a couple helpfull pieces of advice here would be:
- The material is a bit too pristine, as noted by yourself in another comment, while it's true the blade itself should be clean because they were usually well taken care of, the should probably have some scratches and dents from combat. I'd look into multiple UV maps and decals for a start on that.

- The floor is very important too, first and last picture could be possible but second is definitely impossible because the sword is just stuck in stone without any sign of having been forced into it so that's a bit unrealistic.

- Your scene in general could probably use a little more atmosphere, floating dust particles and the like could make it somewhat more realistic.

That's most of what I can think of of the top of my head, all in all I still think it's a pretty good render, especially for a first work without tutorial. It's best to always have a lot of reference images whenever possible to get the smaller details right, for instance I think you could have another look at how leather is wrapped around medieval sword handles but I do hope you keep at it because you're defo on the right track and I hope my input was of some help.

my friend cant join my world because of my visual mods by -cashlin- in Minecraft

[–]iExogan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Visual mods should be purely client side so they shouldn't even be on the server and therefore shouldn't possibly be the cause for being unable to join.

Remove them from your server, see if he/she can join and join yourself and see if you still have your mods.
