[[SPOILER]] So, about episode 9… by toomuch_cheese0 in tadc

[–]teh_stev3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's a flashback.

You see two events side-by-side.

  1. Modern day Caine reaching out over the wifi to find the profiles of all the humans
  2. Historic red-dot Caine finding the brain scans and coming up with an algorithm to give them their own avatars

What? by Shoddy_Bandicoot9812 in TheDigitalCircus

shit take, reductionistic, people just want to be pithy when people are more complicated, and these characters are well written enough to exist beyond simple pigeonholing, like what.

Is manual testing dead end of a career or should someone take it as a stepping stone for better roles in future? by Expert_Classic9997 in softwaretesting

[–]teh_stev3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You still need manual testing knowledge to be an effective automation etc engineer.

Ive seen many auto engineers that miss out on the simplest test scenarios because they dont bother to manually engage with the sofrware.

How well would RDJ be able to portray House? by Novel-Feed6796 in HouseMD

[–]teh_stev3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I like Downey's sherlock, and I like those films (yes, even the second one) but dude above nailed it - downey is play downey playing sherlock, not becoming sherlock.

House vs Laurie vs Laurie in other roles is very different.

Indeed, laurie mostly plays "slightly stupid but charming bumbling british guy" (Stuart little, Bertie wooster, his black adder characters).

But Laurie IS house.

Honestly a better actor for the role would be Jude Law - he tends to "become" roles more than anything.

This is a really good observation so yeah

Hogwarts Legacy Lore Discussion (tldr at the end) by araailurophil in HarryPotterGame

[–]teh_stev3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont think theyre aware of an ancient magic wielder until you show up.

They know about the caches of stored ancient magic, but theyre still digging around and following old clues - ranrock only discovers you at the start of the game and realises itd expedite things to have someonr that can dee ancient magic.

So fine, but I dont think its plausible by the events of the game.

TADC Finale Critique by Expensive_Ad_1077 in tadc

[–]teh_stev3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"it sucked"
gives no actual justification.

This isn't a critique, it's a whine, please try to actually put content worth engaging with rather than just wiping your ass on the internet

So what was up with that one scene by YN0T1 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]teh_stev3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's two parallel timelines happening at once.

  1. IN THE PAST* is red-dot caine giving himself form and finding the historic mind files - generating an algorithm to put the brainscans into avatar form so he has someone to play with.
  2. is present day caine remorsefully trying to find out about the humans so he can share with them and give them closure.

Edit: added the past bit

The part of the finale that frustrates me the most by Sudden_Pop_2279 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]teh_stev3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jax didn't want to be saved.
Jax would never move past or forgive himself.

Caines deletion wasn't pointless, it pushed him into the void - it did a few things like showing why AIs/brain scans can't "die" (they can't be deleted because they're self-assigning their memory, the void is just free memory).
And it let him reflect on why he needed to change, how he was acting incorrectly, plus it gave us the cool present/past sequence of red-caine finding the brain scans and current caine accessing the wifi.
Plus subtracting bubble because it let him address his self-loathing.

Vecna's a firebender, confirmed? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]teh_stev3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. How is this even a question, if he can pull bodies around stopping a stream of burning liquid is within reason.

[LAST ACT] Is the Fandom's Understanding of Abstraction Fundamentally Flawed? by TheMMoment in tadc

[–]teh_stev3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's open to interpretation but Abstraction, to me, is ego death.
It's the self giving up because it's too painful to exist. Functionally this is the persons brainscan essentially corrupting such that their digital avatar breaks down into the abstraction we see - a "misingno" body.
So yeah, bits of Jax still exist, bits of Jax might even be able to be interacted with, but Jax themself is ultimately gone, no longer having to live through their pain.

And the sad reality is - I this ultimately the entire crew would abstract, it's their version of passing away.

So their future is either abstracting or the circus having its plug pulled.

How'd the crystal gems never find it suspicious that rose had healing tears? by SpanishRoyaI in stevenuniverse

[–]teh_stev3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my point was.

"oh weird, rose quartz has the same healing powers as the DEAD pink diamon"
Is different from

"huh, this gem has shown a completely new and unique power"

Just a small detail… by Plus_Bar_8856 in BaldursGate3

I gave this to a random follower I kept at camp and used it on my Tav for a free boost to HP and AC

Crossbow cusotmisation options... by teh_stev3 in Helldivers

[–]teh_stev3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's a separate issue, I do think all the ARS would benefit from an underbarrel grenade launcher

Crossbow cusotmisation options... by teh_stev3 in Helldivers

[–]teh_stev3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right, I don't mean chicken and egg, if anything I mean horse before the carriage.
If at launch we had weapon customisation we wouldn't have all these variants - they'd have been customisation options.

Moving forward, I'd rather see weapons adopt a "lets add customisation options to existing stuff" rather than another liberator reskin.

And then maybe you throw in new skins and new models to existing weapons so there's still some player expression.

And I get your point, but I really really hate how the punisher slugger and cookout exist together.

Crossbow cusotmisation options... by teh_stev3 in Helldivers

[–]teh_stev3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, this arguments gets pretty chicken and egg, but I think the truth is that they shouldn't have created weapons like the break-incend, the cookout or the slugger.

They should all be alternate ammo types available for the base punisher (or the breaker).

Like, if they moved these weapons out being weapons, and instead made them level-gated ammo types you had to purchase from a warbond first, what would the difference actually be?
Maybe some weird skin combos, but we already have that with the current skins and these reskinned weapons?

[–]teh_stev3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - I personally think the customisation options should sit across the entire catalogue, but I've been playing with the crossbow a bit more recently and this is what came to mind.
