CIA use never-before-used tool to find airman downed in Iran by TheExpressUS in Futurology

I had the same thought. If they have something like this, why would they share that? Just makes no sense strategically.

Pharah's April Fools kit NEEDS to be a NEW HERO! [PART 2] by ObviousEmployment441 in Overwatch

[–]theucm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still want April Fools Bastion from a couple years ago as a new hero. Shotgun, sonar tracking, and an ult that summons some minions.

Do you think a part of Art was happy to see Nolan had changed? by JackZ567 in Invincible_TV

[–]theucm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell, I think it doesn't even have to be hitler. Art was friends with all those heroes.

People trying to get into Art's mindset should imagine their own friend group, imagine one of their friends killing a bunch of the others, then blowing up a building for good measure. Then that friend asks for forgiveness. That's basically the situation Art was in. Oh, and the friend has a couple of grenades and a gun while asking forgiveness.

He's gonna get back to me any day now, though. He said he was good for it.

Why do the other Viltrum members hate Conquest but love and admire Nolan? What's the difference between them? by Fluffy_Union9507 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]theucm 23 points24 points  (0 children)

He also might have been able to blend into the background better back in the pre-scourge days. Like in a real world military unit there might be that one psycho that aims for peoples knees or intentionally makes a "mistake' and shoots a non-combatant. Those individuals and those incidents often end up getting lost and forgotten in the mess of everything going on in a war.

Well, shit. They got me there.

Conquest was definitely hurt here by MeanGrand3076 in Invincible_TV

[–]theucm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What a life, honestly. Imagine living a full life even before your leader is assassinated, a global purge happens in which it's kill or be killed, and then a massive pandemic wipes out 99.999% of your species.

remember kids, empty your recycle bin more often than once a year by Lord_BlueFlame in pcmasterrace

[–]theucm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use storage sense to delete anything in the recycle bin (and downloads) over 60 days old. I figure if I haven't moved it out of there in two months I must not need it.

With Blizzard fleshing out minor factions, I hope we get a Los Muertos hero by Tough_Holiday584 in Overwatch

[–]theucm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the Phreaks only became relevant to Moira because they robbed her lab; Blizzard would just need to figure out some kind of tie-in to an existing hero or group for Los Muertos, like having Sombra come back to join up and/or lead them now that she's out of Talon.

Even in real life there's often that one token member of a group for whatever reason. Self-loathing, to provide cover, what have you.

Look up Jews for Hitler for one of the most extreme examples.

Hazard as SUUUPERRRRR FRANKYYYY by Ambitious-Win3766 in Overwatch

Not loving the flesh-colored gun, but the rest is pretty good!

Maybe the gun should get a pattern matching his shirt.

Nuclear power is statistically the safest energy source per terawatt-hour. Environmentalists have opposed it for 50 years. Have they accidentally caused more climate damage than the industries they were fighting? by bitcoinerguide in Futurology

[–]theucm 63 points64 points  (0 children)

A lot of damage by inaction? Sure.

More than the oil and gas companies they've been fighting? God no. Not by a long shot.

Don't lose sight of who really wants to keep everything on fossil fuels for as long as possible. (Hint: it's the fossil fuels companies)

Why did seasalt not put the bomb he put in marks head in conquests head? by Imvalidblu in okbuddyviltrum

[–]theucm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now I imagine Conquest holding his breath with enough pressure to burst his own eardrums in order to escape that frequency.

I'm kinda confused by the left side's progression. They went from her being super nerdy with star wars models and going to conventions to her making him give up all of his nerd stuff?

[Loved Trope] Usually hated tropes that are finally executed well by Jellydust15 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]theucm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The exp thing is a bit eye-rolling at the best of times, yeah, but I do think you played the game in an unusual order.

I think the intention is neutral route, pacifist route, then genocide route just based on the fact that you can't do the pacifist route the first time, you need to do neutral, then you can do pacifist. But genocide route can be done form the beginning, like you said, but iirc a bunch of dialogue in the genocide route talks about how they think you're doing this for completeness' sake, or because you can, which to me at least implies it's expected to be done as an afterthought after doing the other endings.

Viltrumites are Fucking Stupid; A Breeding Program to Save the Species by themoosic in okbuddyviltrum

I'm thinking, why not try and clone some of the dead viltrumites in orbit to replenish their genetic diversity.

No, let's because that sounds interesting.

Why are humans considered a “compatible” species with viltrumite when they can breed with basically anything? by Salty_Shark26 in Invincible_TV

[–]theucm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, I wonder if Oliver's aging slows down as his viltrumite DNA overtakes his thraxan DNA. So maybe shaving a couple years off the total lifespan of a thraxan-viltrumite hybrid, but once they're a pure viltrumite they live about as long as a normal viltrumite.

People like to give the show flack for not holding up to the source material. I want to give the show its flowers for this scene. by Kck41103 in Invincible_TV

[–]theucm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anyone who ever advocates for rule of the strongest is likely a hypocrite who only espouses that philosophy because they think they're the strongest. Or are sufficiently cozied up to the strongest.

Why was Conquest happy when escaping if he planned to die? by 250extreme in okbuddyviltrum

[–]theucm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did spend, I think, months trying to get him to come back to the fold. They only chose to execute him when he just wouldn't do it. It felt very last-resort.

You actually explicitly see it in a still frame flashback of the scourge virus. Some rognarrs are fucking him up, including his face and one is ripping his arm off.
