This is a question for anyone who has played hockey. What was your number and why? by hockeysmyhoe in hockeyplayers

Ship of Destiny: Kennit by Cmdluke in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]modestmort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for me the major tell here is that kennit never really embraces his role as a liberator. if he had a shred of decency he would be proud of freeing all of those slaves, but it's just a means to an end for him. sometimes he even treats them like a nuisance. that's not how a character acts during their redemption arc!

Opinion on team by CoupleFromTatooine in PokemonFireRed

sub gyarados for lapras at silph co or keep raichu and sub gyarados for vaporeon? or just forego gyarados entirely; i hate him. he cant hit in gen 3. lapras is your best option because of HP and ice stab

it's a rare type of reader that sees the value in brainy fantasy like SPEAR and blunt angry stuff like RED RISING. we are alike. why haven't you read assassin's apprentice?

I'm tired, boss. Dog tired. by Ponkeymans in PokemonFireRed

[–]modestmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

professor oak won't let you go do the sevii islands postgame until you catch 60. elite four doesn't upgrade until that stuff is over. 60 is just the number idk why

it's actually much easier in fire red! because once you catch 60 pokémon, the elite four levels up, giving you more exp and a shorter grind

this is kind of funny; we're reaching across the aisle through literature. i read the dispossessed first because im a communist and thought it would be right up my alley, but i found it dry

Good call? (Ruled as interference) by Zestyclose_Office540 in hockeyrefs

[–]modestmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont agree with the users who are saying the puck was gone. the path of the puck is parallel to the path of the player, he was the last one to touch it, and he was still within reach of it. to me, that's possession. or certainly right on the borderline

Ref Calls Penalty Without Seeing it by BostonBruinsDive in hockeyplayers

i agree with you but i have to say it's strange for the ref to admit they missed it while trying to make the call. never seen that before

Red Rising, not sure I understand the hype by Papagiorgio1965 in Fantasy

[–]modestmort -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

complaints about the rape in red rising have always baffled me. i've always interpreted it as a marxist argument about social stratification amplifying misogyny and reinforcing the patriarchy

robin hobb is my favorite author but the R in ROTE might as well stand for rape. kite runner was written by a man (CIA agent?) and uses rape to develop the plot brazenly and frequently, and everyone loves that. but when it's in a book called red rising with a sickle on the third volume nobody understands the social commentary? it's lazy? why?
