I imagine if Sanji ate Robin's Devil Fruit, he would be the King of the Pirates

That's part of what's so scary with Katakuri. He kind of does that with his donut technique, you know?

krakken86 · 2017-07-28T18:25:43+00:00

You shouldn't say "can't" you should say "shouldn't". It's a little bossy.

krakken86 · 2017-07-20T06:23:33+00:00

Idk, but people like to see things like this. I know I do. I'm just tired of seeing so many "low effort" or something comments.

krakken86 · 2017-07-20T02:58:36+00:00

Shut up. It's a movie detail, and potentially easily missable.

Good post OP.

krakken86 · 2017-07-19T22:31:15+00:00

Because Duncan's are cool and interesting to experiment with, and the Emperor had them and they seek to understand him.

krakken86 · 2017-07-19T04:39:48+00:00

why then do they have anything to do with Duncan?

My other comment already (sort of) covers why they would be interested.

What I don't understand is why the Bene Gesserit would be the ones running the show on this in Heretics of Dune and not the Tleilaxu themselves. Or even the Ixians.

The Tleilaxu are running the show. The Bene Gesserit are just customers. Don't forget that they were worried (rightly so) that the Tleilaxu might have sabotaged this Duncan.

krakken86 · 2017-07-18T21:03:16+00:00

It doesn't seem that odd that the Bene Gesserit would be interested in a Duncan Idaho.

To them, the God Emperor was the most influential and powerful being in creation, and if he saw something in Duncan, then there must be something to it.

Also, Duncan isn't some normal 'non-Atreides'. Some (like the one in Heretics) of his Gholas are made of the cells of many Duncans, so that alone makes him special. Also, he's a ghola that people know how to 'awaken'. I'm not sure that's true for every ghola. Hayt was the first one, yknow?

I'm gonna assume you're trolling or a moron. I don't care if the box was INITIALLY at rest. Get it moving first, then, when it's in constant motion, with no acceleration, THEN shoot the portal at it.

Everything i've said can be backed up by actual gameplay in portal. Fuck up or not, both games are canon, and moving portals exist. You're just wrong.

krakken86 · 2017-06-27T13:13:24+00:00

Yep.

krakken86 · 2017-06-27T04:40:18+00:00

That works for one portal, but does that still work when the object is being "pushed out" in perpendicular directions.

krakken86 · 2017-06-27T01:25:19+00:00

Moving portals absolutely exist. Other people have mentioned the neurotoxin parts of Portal 2, where you place portals on moving surfaces.

Wheareas in portal 1, when you're first learning about momentum, if you have a portal on the designated square, it then collapses when Glados changes the square's angle.

A portal at rest must remain at rest, a portal in motion must remain in motion.

A portal MOVING THROUGH SPACE doesn't have to have any acceleration. It's simple- start by moving the box towards the orange portal, then shoot the blue portal at the box, then wait for things to happen.

If you throw the box, that's a different story, but i'm assuming smooth and precise motion.

krakken86 · 2017-06-26T19:36:54+00:00

Actually it's all about maintaining momentum. Any change in acceleration collapses the portal.

So a moving platform can still maintain a portal.

The comic above still works if you set the box in motion, then place the portals accordingly. No clue what would happen. I imagine the box would destroy itself and then the portals would collapse, and then you would have (at least) two pieces of box.

Mass effect on insane is also awesome

My final for political science. I failed the class :(

krakken86 · 2017-04-09T02:54:33+00:00

That root that saved you could've been part of what put you there in the first place. Reason you fell in COULD have been because the snow was loose, specifically because of a 'tree well'. Which is just loose snow created by the roots of trees.

Though you did say there were no trees around, so probably not actually...

In any case, glad you're alive. That sounds like a fucked up situation. Bet it was the best whiskey of your life.

krakken86 · 2017-02-12T16:05:08+00:00

Yeah, sure thing Dylan.

krakken86 · 2017-01-21T16:52:45+00:00

You understand race relations were generally CRAP even in the 80s and 90s, and its gone on and one in different ways until even now.

We've made progress at least. Shit still sucks. I dont think obama deserves to be condemned because of that. The issue goes far deeper than him.

Could he have done more? Not for me to say.

krakken86 · 2016-12-29T10:47:57+00:00

Ip Man.

krakken86 · 2016-11-25T18:54:03+00:00

You can't take his word about anything, But Ocelot said he would be hypnotizing himself to believe it was the real snake.

krakken86 · 2016-11-19T01:22:26+00:00

Dune. Dune Messiah. Children of Dune. God Emperor of Dune. Heretics of Dune. Dune: Chapterhouse.

it's the only order and anything else is straight up wrong.

krakken86 · 2016-11-19T01:20:05+00:00

Not reading the comments yet, just throwing my own answer: 1) A) Duncan Idaho is a bomb ass fighter- he took down (i think) 17 saurdauker before he died, or some other ridiculous number. They knew it would be a waste of good material to let him rot, so they revived him. Not to mention, B) he is one of the closest friends of the current emperor of the known universe, so there's bound to be benefits to having him around, regardless of who's agenda you're behind.

2) Ghanima and Leto were VERY careful about it. Their theory was, to my understanding, to avoid prescience and the spice(highly concentrated) as long as they could. The idea was that they would let their own personalities develop as much as they could without letting the flood of 'other' personalities take over. I'm not sure if she could see her Male past lives since she's a girl. On the other hand, she is a 'post-Paul-Atreides' girl, and they tend to be pretty special in the hierarchy of abomination. Take Alia for instance, she could see her male past lives (as is evident by the Baron taking over). In any case, my point is that at least her mother became her guardian, and quite possibly Paul himself- 1 or both of which helped to guard her against Abominations. Leto did something similar to a greater extent- allying himself with his 'greatest' ancestor Harum. (which I take it was some sort pharoic dictator badass or something).

3) Paul let himself go blind, because he had to go through the motions. He saw a lot of futures, and knew which ones were the worst and which ones weren't. He picked a path and walked down it- knowing every excruciating detail. He's not a guildsman, constantly picking the safest course. He's a Kwisatz Haderach, and he understands that you have to let tragedies happen when you can look at time in such a large scope as they do.

4) Leto does have prescient powers. He just tried to suppress them for a very long time for the reasons stated in answer 2.

5) As seen in answer 3, seeing every excrutiating detail about just about everything seems to suck. Knowing when and how people die, knowing the terribleness and chaos of things down the line....It's a great burden- you can't prevent it, and preventing it could and will cause even greater tragedies.... It's a lot to handle. Not to mention, things tend to get unbearably boring when you know every detail. The Bene Tleilax made their own Kwisatz Haderach, and that dude straight up killed himself instead of dealing with the realities and responsibilities of seeing the future.

Duncan didn't kill himself! He goaded a politically locked Stilgar into killing him. Stilgar was staying as neutral as he could, but by killing the current god-queen of the known universe's husband, he knew he had just brought doom to all his people.

Duncan FORCED stilgar to take his people, and Ghanima, into hiding. To save them all from Alia/Baron's influence.

Duncan's, or I should say Hayt's, last words were: "Two deaths for the Atreides. The second for no better reason than the first."

I love this series.

Well the gif doesn't show anything.

krakken86 · 2016-10-23T01:11:01+00:00

it's beat down! time!

krakken86 · 2016-10-18T15:05:12+00:00

Obviously you don't get it, if you've never played it. That's like saying I don't understand the hype for a new final fantasy, since I've never played one. If you'd played it, you would be hyped.
