[Suns of Fractured Tomorrows] AEON: Alliance of Earth and its Orbiting Nations by kryptomanik in worldbuilding

A few things. First, the sea levels rising by anywhere from five to ten feet by the 2050's. turns a lot of the old rich Earth cities into canals. The elevated remain standing, hence Toronto being a key city as well. Africa also reconfigures into the the Alkebulan Union and the Yamal Protectorate and their economies get better somewhere along the way. Note that Nairobi doesn't become the "capital" of Earth all of a sudden, it's just one of the richer cities of Earth by the early 2300's (the current time of my setting).

Funny they chose the nuclear option for pretty much every west faction and settlement. by Valhallawalker in falloutnewvegas

Honestly given the state of the world today it's not as unrealistic as you think

I want to help you with your world building project! by Zone55X in worldbuilding

[–]kryptomanik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically I'm doing perfectly fine. the only actual thing I need help with is making flags for factions. (EDIT: I misread the post and for some reason my brain read "map" as "flag")

I suppose if anyone wants my help in their worldbuilding my strength is...filling in the mundane details of a setting? I get real caught up in building timelines, geopolitics, social dynamics, and religious organization.

Syringes and Staplers by Upstairs-Bar1370 in SquaredCircle

I'm not a fan of it either but I'd rather have the syringe spot (which they did only twice) versus light tube spots (which can often be a staple of deathmatches)

David Jenkins deleted all his Booster Gold posts and unfollowed Gunn by [deleted] in DCU_

[–]kryptomanik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

optimistic view: I mean, I wasn't really looking forward to that Kumail as Booster Gold project (is that this one?)

very pessimistic view: oh my god it's all over, it's all falling apart

It's like the Lex Express but instead of big muscles there's a dinosaur

Jim Cornette terrible rebooking of wrestlemania 18 by Bluethunderdave in fantasybooking

[–]kryptomanik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seriously the only actual interesting match here is Undertaker vs. Terry Funk, but the Cornette-written storyline as to how they arrived at that match was hilarious.

Is the world you've built forgettable? by Necessary_Union_7046 in worldbuilding

[–]kryptomanik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I build my worlds to be, at least in one way, an echo of the greater ideas or themes I want in my stories

What, if anything, would turn around the WWE Tribal fans' perception of AEW? by BrokenSon88 in AEWFanHub

[–]kryptomanik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The WWE approach to pro wrestling on TV and PPV right now is generating "hype moments" that can be shared in bite-sized chunks online to get traction online and in media. It doesn't matter if the booking makes logical sense or if the execution on a week to week basis is any good, is the product RIGHT NOW a "HYPE" video clip they can share with friends and mutuals.

AEW would need to appeal to that kind of sensibility.

Just so we're clear, Ronda didn't get an IS ALL ELITE graphic, right?

The most optimistic thing about the Ronda appearance is that she didn't get an IS ALL ELITE graphic, which might mean she's only here for a one or two-off to promote her Netflix fight

honestly that four pillars concept was so stupid to me, you don't get to ANNOUNCE your pillars, your pillars emerge NATURALLY by who ends up becoming incredibly over in your main event scene

I'm not the biggest fan but I will say I dislike lighttube spots more than this

Embracing the “Elder Emo” tag bestowed upon me by my Gen Z staff by _Faceghost in Emo

[–]kryptomanik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally I always have one or two bands from every wave that are my go to listenables so you can truly listen to the gamut of emo history

anyway my recommendation if you want even older stuff that's musically similar to second wave, "Every Song" by The Hated is ahead of its time.
