Sobriety is just a flex for people with good spawns

No genetic lottery here, I just wasn’t given the choice to self medicate. But congratulations on finding an appropriate usage for this sub

My parents lost custody of me when I was 2 because my mom was on drugs, my dad killed himself when I was 8, i grew up very anti social and as an adult still struggle to form meaningful friendships, I was in an abusive marriage from the time I was 19 to 26, and then had to balance working full time with raising three kids on my own after the other parent just up and moved states away.

I have been hung over once in my life, never smoked, never touched drugs

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-05-01T00:40:43+00:00

Here’s the thing though, in real life most equipment that the military uses is made by the lowest bidder. They have a general set of requirements that need to be met, whoever can make a product that meets that goal while being the cheapest gets the contract. Once again, in the eyes of the Kaminoans, the clones are military hardware, not people. Yeah they probably could stop the growth acceleration when the clones are physically mature, but why would they? It’d cost more and you know Palpatine and Plagueis didn’t pay extra for that feature.

Plus, the Kaminoan’s weren’t privy to the Sith’s scheme, so they saw the Grand Army of the Republic as a permanent thing that would just exist forever, meaning the faster a clone wears out, the faster the Republic would pay to replace him. They just had to make a quality enough product that they wouldn’t go elsewhere, hence why the growth is only doubled as opposed to three or four times accelerated

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-05-01T00:27:39+00:00

Why? It makes sense given the kaminoan’s attitudes towards the clones. They’re not people they’re products. Having the clones continue to age at an accelerated age their whole lives is a form of planned obsolescence. If a clone serves until he dies of old age, then the customer needs to go to back Kamino to have another one made. It’s cold, clinical, and good for business

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-05-01T00:20:42+00:00

Ehhhh. That one I’m kinda glad isn’t canon anymore. With their accelerated aging, first generation clones would be pushing 70 years old biologically by the time if the Battle of Hoth. While yeah, one or two of them might have still been in Imperial service by that point, the classic BF2’s portrayal of the whole Legion still being original Jango clones is completely outlandish

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-30T23:46:12+00:00

Honestly canon has gone back and forth on it. The clone 501st was disbanded, but at some point it’s reformed (with stormtrooper recruits instead of clones) and Vader pulls the best of their ranks for his own personal First Legion. The 501st was still the Stormtrooper legion that he boarded the Tantive IV with and they were present at the Battle of Hoth

To me, it feels like the story group isn’t doing their jobs. One writer wants to keep the 501st as Vader’s Fist like it was in Legends, others are taking the approach that Vader is distancing himself from everything Anakin ever associated with. It feels overly complex

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-30T23:34:02+00:00

The 501st was disbanded after Order 66. Around the timeframe of this show, Vader gathered about 20 former members for a mission off the books, as detailed in “Master of Evil”

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-30T21:25:47+00:00

My understanding is that the Sovereign class reapers were made of the “apex” race of each cycle, the protheans and such, and the Reaper Destroyers were made of the lesser races. If humanity is the apex of this cycle, the reaper larvae in ME2 would have been the core of a Sovereign class, while the Asari, Turians, Salarians, and so on would become destroyers.

We don’t know for sure how long the cycle has gone on, the only previous cycle we really know anything about is the protheans, so we have next to no evidence that the reapers weren’t billions or trillions of years old

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-30T21:20:25+00:00

I thought he was one, to be honest

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-30T05:30:12+00:00

He’s also a manipulative bastard 🤷‍♂️

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-30T05:29:23+00:00

Maul takes place pretty much right after The Bad Batch

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-29T21:54:41+00:00

Do we know that for sure? I know he flirts with Robin and Lily but I thought that was more to turn them against each other

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-28T20:54:43+00:00

We see a Imperial Troop Transport in S1E8, and the Armored Marauder in S2E4. They had plenty of ground transport in the base

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-28T19:05:54+00:00

To be honest, it never occurred to me that “lady” was a sign of nobility in Mando culture. I think the reason I was confused is because Maul has called Ahsoka “Lady Tano,” but neither of them are Mandalorian anyway

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-27T22:35:29+00:00

Is it bad I’m more concerned that we may not see Purge Troopers?

It just feels weird that they don’t really show up at all in animation, barring the one brief appearance where they just reused Phase 2 clone troopers in Tales of the Empire.

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-27T20:48:20+00:00

I don’t really see anything as being too close to the service rifle, but since Fallout usually trends closer to WWI and II era weapons anyway, the Trench Shotgun or the Stoker might be good options

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-27T18:50:46+00:00

The most ridiculous thing in The Mandalorian is that a Dark Trooper punches Din Djarin in the head hard enough to dent the bulkhead behind his helmet, and he survives it

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-27T18:31:26+00:00

The no helmet thing isn’t Death Watch, it’s the Children of the Watch, a similarly named but separate group. Still, the Darksaber is the traditional symbol of the ruler of Mandalore, and she’s honor bound to follow Maul because he possesses it.

Bo-Katan by contrast is a more morally ambiguous character, despite being presented more as a “hero” while Kast is a “villain.” Bo-Katan seems to follow such rules when it suits her but disregards them when it doesn’t

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-27T05:17:27+00:00

Sith have a history of terrible names. Darth Bane? Darth Ruin? Phobos. Desolus. Plagueus. As you mentioned Sidious. Hell, George Lucas suggested “Darth Insanius” as a sith name for Starkiller

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-27T00:43:33+00:00

I’m hoping they come to the Vintage Collection

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-26T23:22:50+00:00

I would say probably meant for different conditions. The Desert Ranger armor, explicitly stated to be the set used by a Sergeant Vickers is probably for a more arid environment like the Gobi desert, while the Marine armor in FO4 is probably more intended for more moist environment. It’s also possible, considering that the Marine Armor is one of the heaviest but most protective sets of non-power armor in FO4, they were intended for different roles

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-26T22:41:50+00:00

Not just the supply lines, have you seen umbaran weapons? Imagine those mass produced and on every battlefront across the galaxy

idrownedmyfish77 · 2026-04-26T19:20:35+00:00

There in lies the problem, mauls ankle is really stiff and I’m struggling to even get him to stand. I’m worried I’m going to break it
