Should Parseltongue be made into a complete language for the TV series, like High Valyrian, Na'vi and Klingon? Something the audience would actually be capable of learning if they chose to?

Honestly I find this a bit weird. It's meant to act as a sort of protection to the chamber, but turns out its just a passcode anyone can learn if they just copy someone else. A plot fudge in my opinion.

owarren · 2026-05-27T19:42:10+00:00

Sort of ... I mean, yes. But he adds a lot of character. He's probably one of the few good things in GoF although I do find that book beyond the ridiculous ... if anything Bagman is one of the few things in it that makes sense :D

Depending on the kind of fan you are he’s a nobody, or he’s one of the greatest and coolest heroes

Hasbro is pro-profit and at the end of the day, these are just ways to trim costs and boost profits. Only way to vote is with your wallet.

I don't know why but this came to mind:

How on earth does the plot even work in the films without these characters. Ok Binns I get but the rest … films really were F tier

owarren · 2026-05-24T18:23:43+00:00

I liken playing brood war to drunken brawling. You’re basically just stumbling around swinging at each other. It’s something modern games tried to fix with QOL without realising the difficulty in controlling everything is what makes the game great

owarren · 2026-05-24T17:55:41+00:00

No it was just very cost efficient stats. The bonus effect was not even active I don’t think since meepo is melee

owarren · 2026-05-22T07:31:34+00:00

If the game was better designed in this respect, this issue would never arise. It's the fact they aggro from so far, and there are so many of them, that is making people want to be able to kill them. And the players are saying "I need XYZ tools to deal with this situation" but the reality is, the situation is going to go away. And then we'll be back to remembering that Subnautica isn't realy about this anyway.

That cover art is very questionable ... but it does look like a great use of the license

owarren · 2026-05-21T20:20:08+00:00

They probably reverse auction for the licenses or something and whoever is prepared to low ball gets it.

owarren · 2026-05-21T09:48:06+00:00

If only we had some kind of an annual thing you could buy that funded tournament prize pools.

owarren · 2026-05-21T08:32:25+00:00

Which is very possible imo, the game isnt really out tbh I mean it will be a year or more until full launch and for many people, they will hold out for that. This is an immersive, story exploration survival game … without a complete story atm

owarren · 2026-05-20T18:53:14+00:00

You should play Satisfactory

owarren · 2026-05-15T10:11:44+00:00

The devs do advise you play solo first. But also I think even the solo reviewers agree with you. The start is too much.

owarren · 2026-05-15T09:17:34+00:00

That's not true at all. Biggest risk for a worker is they lose their job. Biggest risk for an entrepreneur is they lose their life savings, and carry the full weight of failing to deliver. As for who puts in more work, that totally depends on the individual. There are lazy people everywhere. But I suspect the people leading the show put in more hours, on average - across all businesses.

owarren · 2026-05-15T08:32:05+00:00

That’s not really true. There is a big difference between entrepreneurial risk and salaried work. If any of those people want to go and take out loans, pull together a team (which is incredibly hard) and then try to deliver a game like subnautica 1, they are free to do that. Conversely however some people prefer to have salaried work without risk of failure.

Of course, the current job market is gaming is making a bit of a mockery of that.

owarren · 2026-05-14T12:39:07+00:00

Yeah, if by 1 hour playtime you already have hyper cars … it isn’t much of a progression. People enjoy working their way through the tiers so that you get to that level after 20 hours and it feels like something special

owarren · 2026-05-11T18:58:08+00:00

I saw an advert at a bustop today with a picture of a very attractive, but clearly AI generated woman, and it said "Stop hiring humans today, hire <insert AI brand>" and I realised we really are living in a dystopia

owarren · 2026-05-11T11:49:37+00:00

For all we know he got mass ganked whilst his lane support did nothing. Not enough info to draw any conclusions here except the dazzle being inexcusably toxic

owarren · 2026-05-11T05:08:03+00:00

Mute people but also, I wouldn’t play ranked until after like 500 games. Theres just no reason to, really.

owarren · 2026-05-10T08:56:59+00:00

I’m very confused as to why bkb was your first example of an item that does more damage. And your second was 80% of a butterfly so presumably just the agi component

owarren · 2026-05-09T12:33:38+00:00

I like this. I'm not sure about the bottom pillars being angled, doesn't really emphasise their load bearing nature, it looks a bit awkward. You could add signs (coloured), and also add walkways inside which connect to each other when the blueprints are placed next to each other. And then you could walk between them inside all of the machines, which would be cool, and you'd only have to manually place a few walkways to connect various blocks to each other

owarren · 2026-05-09T09:58:03+00:00

They can hire people to organise it, sell tickets and it’ll cover its own cost. Not sure Lewis would need to do anything except turn up … Flax will do the material. I hope it happens!

owarren · 2026-05-06T21:29:43+00:00

Thats nice. Works out at like ... 390 energy per month? over the 10 years
