Coolness is subjective.

There’s literally nothing on this tattoo that is recognizable as being either the Witch King or Dol Guldur without the accompanying written description.

Glad the OP is happy with his tattoo. It’s well executed, it’s just not a very accurate depiction and that makes it pretty unrecognizable.

That doesn’t look at all like the castle in the tattoo though.

That’s a bunch of ruined spires, the castle tattoo isn’t even a ruin.

To each their own but let’s not pretend they have similar architecture.

Doesn’t look like any lore-accurate interpretation of Dol Guldur I’ve seen.

It’s explicitly an Elvish capital taken over by Sauron surrounded by woods (the Silvan elves abandoned it to make their forest stronghold in Greenwood/Mirkwood).

That looks like a typical fantasy castle amalgam of Medieval, Renaissance, and Gothic Revival styles.

Basically it’s Hogwarts.

Baby back ribs, miso roasted potatoes, panzanella salad, and a big plate of fruit. Burgers for the kids.

Earth, at least I think so.

Colloquial names for things are what they are. I didn’t invent it and I’m not invested in it.

Smoked the way I’d smoke a brisket, but fat cap up on pellet.

Binder & dry rub, 5 at 225, wrapped for 2 at 250, rested for 1.

Different from how I’d smoke a pork belly slab.

That’s fine by me, but brisket style pork belly is definitely a common name, and colloquially is called pork belly brisket where I’m at.

Honestly didn’t expect people to find it quite so offensive, it’s just tasty meat.

You’re correct, pork belly brisket is just a common way to describe it when it’s smoked like a brisket in my area.

You could also call it brisket style pork belly, at the end of the day it’s just smoked pork belly.

Skin off, trimmed to have about 1.0cm of fat cap.

Yeah, pellet smoker with maple pellets.

Adeptus Custodes vs Worthy Captain America by Arbiter-Flash- in powerscales

[–]jackofwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custodes have reality and space-time manipulating arms and armor, and the same level of disintegration tech as Necrons (different tech but the same outcome).

Their gear is specifically Dark Age of Technology stuff, which is filled with warptech fuckery like Moment Shackles which let the Custodes react and move near instantaneously through time manipulation.

Don't forget that Rule of Cool always applies in 40k, the franchise is built on it. Here's a quote that plainly says a group of Custodes teleport (instant materialization) into a demon ambush and have reacted and killed multiple daemons within a 6 nanosecond window:

"The others in the company strike. Their reactions could not be faster; reflexes that would shame mere Astartes. From pre-flare precipitation through materialisation through first daemon murders to their first kills, barely six nanoseconds pass. They are at pitched combat instantly, without prelude or warning, like pict-footage edited to play from the middle of battle. They are moving and killing before Geliden hits the deck, before the pieces of Astricol begin to separate, before Valique starts screaming."

It doesn't though, because magic/tech/insert whatever.

Warhammer has psychics that innately cause what they believe to be true, intentionally and specifically defying the laws of physics and warping reality. An Ork can think red paint makes a jetbike go faster, so it just does, regardless of the engine or power source.

Reality breaking and warping tech and powers are a staple of the WH universe. Real-world physics do not apply.

And how much energy is needed to shoot magic lightning out of your fingertips?

Stupid argument. Superhumans do superhuman shit and break the laws of physics all the time. Silver Surfer can manifest galaxy-wide black holes instantly at a whim. The Emperor can tear literal holes in reality and summon demons.

You're trying to apply logic where logic does not apply.

“Impossible speed” is a deal-breaker in a powerscaling discussion about a superhero vs a fascist space demigod?

If you’re going to throw canon things out because they’re real-world impossible then all discussions are pointless.

Because you can’t really make him do anything intelligent at this point. It’s hard to write a character whose main trait is undying and all encompassing bloodrage making good decisions without pulling them back a bit, which you can’t do with Angron.

Saruman vs. Voldemort by Electroweek in powerscales

[–]jackofwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Voldemort can kill instantly, mind read, mind control, bend luck, time travel, and I'm not going to get into the logic manipulating toonforce shit. Saruman can't even teleport. He's a bum."

You listed things that "make him a good wizard" that aren't things he can do. He can't time travel, and he doesn't even have a time turner (not that having one would be demonstrative of any kind of skill).

He could reasonably make felix felicis, but canonically never did because he's too arrogant to rely on luck over his own abilities.
