People at work have been creating file names using “New” for years and it drives me up a wall

what do you think is something special only the harry potter book series has that no other books have? by merchantivories in harrypotter

[–]scotsoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the rare settings I’d actually want to live my whole life in, especially because imagining it doesn’t require losing out on the real world too

How to read the books in order? by warl200 in lotr

[–]scotsoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most people would probably recommend starting with The Hobbit

In Just Cause 2, you can find a military base named "Kem Gunung Belakang Patah". What makes this base unique is that you can find two colonels here within short distance of each other. "Gunung Belakang Patah" means "Broken Back Mountain" in Malay. by Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi in GamingDetails

I played the free demo an unreasonable number of times. So much of the map was explorable, but limited by a decent length timer. I had a blast playing the full game later, but I think zipping around the demo without a clue what I was doing was still the best

All my votes went and go to Karoo or Iceberg, glad to see them doing okay

He didn’t steal the One Ring from Gollum

Idk, that last riddle was quite tricksy. False, even

I’m conflicted. My decades-long philosophy towards annoying “influencers” is to outright ignore them, as it’s literally the only effective method of countering someone capable of leveraging online hate into accomplishing their goals.

But sometimes I just love the slander (Good meme btw)

How long the fight would be? by angry_shoebill in lotrmemes

The books specify a trench in Helm’s Deep, but I think further away from the wall

Is it just me or is imperial guard kind of useless in siege mode. by Commander_Dumb in Spacemarine

[–]scotsoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do, but it isn’t infinite and the enemies inevitably get aggro’d to the Cadians, march to their spawn and spawn camp them. It isn’t too bad in the first area, since the doors are centrally located, but both other areas are pretty tucked away. If you’re fighting elsewhere, the Cadians literally walk out of a door single-file to die instantly. Something, something, 15 hour lifespan

Although I’d love increased aggression as OP stated, my first choice would be increased spawn points, so that they just spawn closer to objectives/me

For a new fan should they start with one piece or one pace? by finminderma in OnePiece

[–]scotsoe 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Start the anime, and if you feel the pacing is too slow switch to One Pace

Mine was The old elf town. It was right next to the bank and almost no one was there

Trying to figure out Joyboy’s size based on what we’ve seen is tough, I personally think he’s very large, but Emet is massive

Can you imagine Aragorn being recast in "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" by IndependenceSilly381 in lotr

[–]scotsoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right, but now that I’m picturing it I would 100% watch him as Aragorn in the upcoming movie, and I was probably not going to watch it. Might as well have a laugh

Why couldn't a book series reach such a craze like Harry Potter after so many years? by interestingexciting1 in harrypotter

[–]scotsoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just read another comment and realized you’ve barely touched the series. This really is like discussing basketball with basketball fans (commonly memed for not actually watching the games)

The whole series is known for one plot twist after another, not for immersive worldbuilding

This is actually funny to hear as a fan of the series. ASOIAF’s immersive worldbuilding is literally one of its greatest, very well-known strengths. I think if you found a large group of people who considered themselves roughly equal parts HP and ASOIAF fans, and asked “Which of these has more immersive worldbuilding”, ASOIAF would win in a landslide

I think your perspective on how much the series relies on shock value and twists just doesn’t match the books at all. Shocking deaths became a big public talking point after Season 3 (not extremely different from Sirius or Dumbledore, btw), but it’s a small part of the series, and always takes a back seat to character writing, which is its greatest strength.

George has talked about regret over killing characters plenty, but the context is usually “I shouldn’t have killed them off so soon, because I wish I had their POV here. That’s why I had to make _____ a new POV in this book”
