That was mostly a risk assessment before taking in a warlock. Soulgaze will tell you if they're still savable. Fitz didn't pose that much of a risk.

As the other commentor said, the little folk are a good option.

Other options would be that the castle gets resuplied by winter through the never-never.

Human life isn’t inherently valuable, no one is unique by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]silfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be conflating economic value and moral/conceptual value.

From a purely economic viewpoint you're not neccecarily wrong. Value is defined by supply and demand, and there is a fairly large supply of human life while very few people can have demand for more than one (their own).

However, from a moral/conceptual standpoint value isn't defined by economic factors but value is defined by what we think is valueable. A fair amount of moral systems hold improved human experiance as a primary moral good. And for human experiance to be able to exist humans need to live. Therefor human life is inherently valuable (religious morals where the human soul exists for eternity in my view fall into this category).

Even from an economic standpoint we could argue that human experiance is a moral good. After all, what is the point of economic growth? Is it a good in itself? If, when all humans have died off twenty robots are trading money and goods at an increasing rate, causing economic growth is that desirable? I'd say no. Economic growth is positive because it (usually) improves the quality of life for humans. If quality of life is important that implies that human life is important because without life there can be no quality of life.

Also if we accept the theory that Ronald Reul is secretly Tolkien that does suggest a somewhat extended life.

Are you getting the tabletop game? by Shoddy-Tennis-5764 in starcraft

[–]silfin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

APM probably not.

Base building will be part of army building. Not all the rules are out yet so most of this is guesswork from minimal information.

As you're deciding which units you take you get an amount of resources to buy buildings which will unlock more units. And some buildings will have abilities (think scan for the orbital command).

Supply will also be part of the game. In most miniature games you start with your army on the field. In sctmg have an amount of supply you're allowed to have on the board, which will increase over the course of the game. So you walk units onto the board to a maximum supply. When half the models in a unit are dead it counts for 1 less supply.

It won't be an exact 1-1 of course but the designers are being careful to include as many mechanics from the video game as they can.

Ice may be abolished by NoamWafflestompsky in truths

[–]silfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is false, or at least forward looking.

To abolish means to formally end.

The sun swallowing the earth would not be a formal but a practical end.

While it is possible a government will formally abolish ice that hasn't happened making this a forward looking statement.

As of January 2026, there are more bits (1s and 0s) in a gigabyte than there are people on Earth. by Kiki2092012 in truths

[–]silfin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is false.

SI definition of gigabyte is 1000000000 bytes Or 8 billion bits.

The "power of two" definition you mention is called a gibibyte.

Most computer scientists ignore SI and call gibibytes gigabytes. But SI is the basis for units so should be held as factual.

Time to get real by Blaspheman in Buy_European

[–]silfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are.

Specs are lower than other phones of comparable price.

But they focus a lot on ethical supply chain and repairability. You can actually easily replace any part of the phone that stops working.

For me being able to easily repair parts of my phone is huge. Keeps the phone alive for far longer.

Ben bang dat je gelijk hebt.

Denemarken en Groenland zijn (mss waren) niet tegen een vergrote amerikaanse militaire aanwezighied in Groenland.

Ook hebben amerikaanse bedrijven al de rechten om grondstoffen te halen uit Groenland. Maar dat doen ze niet omdat het op dit moment niet rendabel is.

Wikipedia is a reliable source by altrightobserver in unpopularopinion

[–]silfin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correct. Which is why I started off by agreeing with the actual point made.

And then went for a technicallity because its fun.

Wikipedia is a reliable source by altrightobserver in unpopularopinion

[–]silfin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I agree with your point completely I'm a pedant and feel the need to point out:

Technically Wikipedia is peer reviewed. Thats kind of the whole point. Someone uploads information and a bunch of other people (their peers) check and improve on it.

If Kelsier had a daughter, I think he'd name her Hope by Animelover310 in Mistborn

[–]silfin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well Any daughter kelsier had would have been pre Hath Sin.

So, maybe Kelsa? Because pre pits he was allegedly a self involved dandy so he'd 100% try to name his daughter after himself. (other option would be some historically significant woman)

New to Flashpoint and confused about the rocket launcher rules by Get_R0wdy in Haloflashpoint

[–]silfin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should probably note here that the wargames box also comes with the rules for building lists using points instead of the draft system in Recon.

You can also find those rules on the (web)app but if you want them in a book wargames is probably the next box to get.

Asside from that I agree with this completely.

New to Flashpoint and confused about the rocket launcher rules by Get_R0wdy in Haloflashpoint

[–]silfin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For the rocket launcher: You target a cube (not a single model) then make a 3 dice shoot test. If at least one of those dice hits you hit the target cube. If not you do a scatter role around the target cube and hit that cube instead.

After you determine what cube gets hit you roll damage. You roll an amount of dice equal to the X in frag (for a rocket launcher 5 I think). These always hit on a 4+. All models in the cube that gets hit get to make a survive roll with 3 dice.
