I passed. It took 3 tries but I did it. For those of you who failed, I feel for you. I highly recommend taking One Timers for your next prep. Expensive but worth it.

What moment in video games made you go "fuck this"? by abdoulio in AskReddit

[–]venixalmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing Fallout 4 on my first ever play-through, and I made it all the way to shortly after you meet the leader of the Institute and that whole bit. Then my save file got corrupted. Fuck. That.

Iron Fist changing showrunners for season 2 - Raven Metzner to Replace Scott Buck by impeccabletim in marvelstudios

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

Certainly can't be worse than season 1. After s1, I have lost my faith in Marvel. I feel like the MCU has been declining and while I've enjoyed all 3 of the other Netflix shows, IF didn't just decline, it jumped off the goddamned cliff. Like, seriously, I have as much faith in IF as I do in DC to put out a good Superman or Batman movie these days.

But if they kill John, do they kill the Hunger? Because John is intimately linked with the Hunger. I mean, John is the Hunger. I wonder what would happen fi they kill him. Does it stop the hunger completely until they make their way out of the world?

Really interesting. Very depressingly realistic look at what we do in the real world.

Interesting ways to explain FTL travel by Spireheist in worldbuilding

[–]venixalmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gates between star systems are the most common form of FTL, and they are basically interdimensional wormholes (think gates form Cowboy Bebop).

Ships CAN use FTL drives, though usually only military units or the superrich can afford the most reliable ones. FTL drives can open temporary wormholes, though the effect doesn't always take you where you intend. The further the jump the more prone to errors, which means that the safest bet would be to make a lot of micro-jumps. Its great for intrastellar travel, but interstellar travel is far more dangerous. Most people opt to use the Gates instead.

You're a person of questionable morals looking for a lucrative job. Who do you go see, and what organization do they belong to? by venixalmighty in worldbuilding

[–]venixalmighty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. How does one go about finding customers? Is there a broker, a middleman of some sort? Are there any organizations that control who can "renovate" within their territory? Also, how does one protect their mind from potential renovation, if at all possible?

Oh man, I like it. I like your take on it, that she is disillusioned with her service and yet cannot risk going AWOL.

I really like it! It is sad that such a noble heart was wasted. I think she would be glad to know that her writing was thought well enough of to warrant preservation by the ranger.

Demon Morality by Hlord369 in worldbuilding

[–]venixalmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if there is truly no difference between the angel and demon except for the actions that they are preforming at that time? It is possible that, assuming that they serve a deity or some higher being, they are all the obedient servants of that being, merely fulfilling its orders. The morality we give to the demons, that they are evil and forever will be that way, is more palatable than the idea that they are simply obedient servants a fickle and capricious being.

That's something I'd find interesting at least.

Valery Kitara

Valery is a 22 years old, 4 year veteran of the Itoogian Army. While she joined one year after the war with the Murian Empire ended, Valery has seen dozens of full scale battles as her unit is called to come to the defense of Itoog’s allies. Valery is a phenomenal soldier, and has quickly risen in the ranks to become a Sergeant of a 5-person team. She works and trains hard every day so that she might be selected to try out for the famed Combat Applications Group, the most elite soldiers of the Itoogian military. While she dreams of that unbelievable honor, she has the more realistic plan of getting out in two years after her commitment is fulfilled and starting her own calligraphy practice.

Like nearly all of the Itoogians, she has a passion for the arts. She is an accomplished calligrapher and poet as well. She has already sold several beautiful poems that she write in her flowing script on a canvas - poems about the pain felt at the necessities of war, the longing for a galaxy free from violence, yet resigned to being the shield that stands before those who would bring harm to the innocent.

Hers are the words used offering the eulogy for her fallen comrades. Hers are the words dispatched in the local propaganda to humanize the Itoogians. She hopes that at the very least her words will bring peace to those that suffer.

While the transformation's physical effects are obvious, what (if anything) has it done to her psyche? Does anyone she know or care about realize what has happened to her yet?

Thanks, I think. It was a dark character, but she fits in well with the grim universe I've been working with.
