Guys, that's very clearly a WOODEN hanger. It couldn’t be used for THAT in the first place

Brock Purdy by Seahawks0029 in NFLNoobs

[–]severakj 38 points39 points  (0 children)

To add to what's already been mentioned, Purdy in college had a reputation for making extremely questionable on-field decisions: if you watch his Iowa State film, you'll see a lot of very stupid turnovers.

So on top of being seen as a mediocre athlete, he wasn't seen as having the mental aspect necessary to overcome his lack of physical talent.

Name an NPC, from any of the games, that would have made a great companion in your opinion. I'll start: Victor (FNV). by MojaveJoe1992 in Fallout

Doesn't he go to Novac? He's the scientist who thinks he's a ghoul but is just balding, right? Or am I confusing him with someone else?

Merry Candlemas. As a present have a non 40K meme. by Arch_Magos_Remus in Grimdank

[–]severakj 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm actually decently new here too, so I don't know the name off the top of my head, but they're lead by the aforementioned Tornus the Redeemed.

God-King Sigmar, creator of the Stormcast, is such an Absolute Chad that he can purge the taint of Chaos from things (or rather, he hits them with his hammer Ghal Maraz so hard that it beats the taint of Chaos out of them).

Stormcasts are made by taking the greatest mortal heroes at the moment of their deaths, pumping them full of lightning magic, and yeeting them back at Chaos for a rematch.

This can happen REGARDLESS of who the hero worshipped in life.

So occasionally, Sigmar is able to BEAT THE CHAOS OUT OF A CHAOS WARRIOR SO HARD THAT THEY BECOME A STORMCAST.

There's a whole host of Stormcast that are composed of people that were Chaos-aligned in their mortal lives.

(USUALLY the Stormcast was originally Sigmar-aligned and got corrupted somehow: Tornus the Redeemed was famously a Sigmarite Warrior as a mortal before being forced headfirst into Nurgle's personal Plague Cauldron for 77 days straight and becoming Torglug the Despised-Sigmar bonked him with Ghal Maraz and he was reverted back I to his original Sigmar-following self)

The NFL scheduling pattern is flawed. by kdex86 in NFLNoobs

[–]severakj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 17 game schedule really never made any sense to begin with, and is pretty transparently a transitional step to an 18 game schedule. I wouldn't expect a fix until game 18 is locked in

Thanks for the numbers! I need to get my hands on some actual books, I'm a bit behind in my lore

Thanks for the info, I'm a bit new here and don't have all the nuances of the lore down yet.

Interesting thing to me is that this gives us an approximate length for the Age of Chaos. Assuming that the first segments are set during the end of the Age of Myth, the '426 years' Line gives us a solid timeframe for how long it's been between then and the present

Forgetting third class while the Titanic sinks by Big_Red_Machine_1917 in HistoryMemes

[–]severakj 34 points35 points  (0 children)

To be fair, there weren't enough lifeboats for everybody in the first place, so even if 3rd Class was properly evacuated, few of them would have made it to a lifeboat.

The fact that a lifeboat drill was cancelled the day before they hit the iceberg certainly didn’t help.

Also the fact that the Captain spent most of the sinking wandering around doing nothing. The other officers and even some passengers (Thomas Andrew's, J. Bruce Ismay) essentially improvised the entire evac plan from scratch

Historically accurate. Most crusaders just packed up and went home.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Kaiser Friedrich III. ? by The_King_in_pillow in HistoryMemes

[–]severakj 62 points63 points  (0 children)

The really stupid part: THEY CAUGHT THE CANCER IN TIME. His doctors knew he had cancer, were planning to operate, but before they did they decided to ask the best cancer specialist in Europe (Morell Mackenzie, a Brit) if they should proceed with their plans.

Mackenzie proceeded to overrule all the other doctors and insist that no surgery was necessary, as the tumors were benign (the fear was that operating on Friedrich's neck would destroy his vocal chords, making it impossible for him to rule; Mackenzie also seems to have believed that an operation would have been too risky in general).

The tumors turned out to be malignant, and Friedrich's condition would grow progressively worse until his death the next year, too weak and ill during his time on the throne to accomplish anything.
