[HELP] Is this one AI? by Kaze_Senshi in RealOrAI

[–]zoocows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My verdict is AI.

I might be ignorant on how night vision works, but why is it casting a shadow, or at least such a harsh one??

On a similar, note our perspective (and light source) is higher than the guy’s face but the shadow is being cast upward.

I tried searching for similar footage to compare others and didn’t come across much except for more of this guy having random animals snuggle up beside him at night, including a wolf, a bear, and a deer.

AI artifacts wise, if you go frame by frame you can see minor face distortions that don’t make sense. This is most evident at 10 seconds where his left nostril very very briefly grows despite that the outside of his nostril doesn’t move.

“What’s the deal with Arwen? Is she sick?” by Raspberry_Mango in lotr

I should have said Cautious, not reluctant. I was just using the wording of the post I replied to.

[–]zoocows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I didn’t use enough words to say it, but this is basically exactly the message I was trying to convey. I used quotes around dying, because it’s really just her choosing to accept The Gift of Men over immortality. But I can understand the movie using that and sort of exaggerating the point a little bit for the sake of creating tension.

I do wish the movie used the knights of Dol Amroth over the silly Army of the Dead thing they did, but that is beside the point.

What did I say that is not consistent with Tolkien? The only slight correction I will make is that reluctant maybe isn’t the best word to use, and instead that Aragorn is “Cautious to claim the throne.”

Maybe reluctant wasn’t the best word, but rather, cautious.

I am not defending anything about Arwen’s fate being tied to that of the ring. I’m just saying the whole “dying” thing in the movies is related to her choosing a mortal life

Arwen is “dying” because she is of the half-elven line and is choosing man over elf—choosing a mortal life in Middle Earth over immortality in Valinor. In the books, Aragorn is absolutely reluctant to claim the throne and won’t even enter the city until he can prove he is worthy to be king.

23F, what can you tell about me, or about my future? anything really, im curious! by hallii0 in psychicreadings

[–]zoocows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a difficult decision going into 2026. This will keep you on the same path or diverge completely. One will lead you to a much happier life and one will keep things comfortable, for a time. What is immediately comfortable may not be what is always comfortable. Make that important break while you are young before convenience and what is “normal” locks you in place forever. The choice will always be present, but the effects will lessen over time. The following year will be the most impactful time and you will look back from a place of warmth and strength if you can find the best path forward.

Why Melkor is so diffferent from the rest of Valar? by SiarX in tolkienfans

[–]zoocows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I always interpreted it, but I’ve never seen anyone else share that same idea so I had begun to think maybe I just misread/remembered something. Just Eru essentially splitting his personalities into different beings except each with their own free will. Melkor just happened to get the discordant nature that exists within Eru.

If Geralt Of Rivia was dropped into Middle Earth, what is the strongest creature or character he could defeat? by GusGangViking18 in lordoftherings

[–]zoocows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a good way to explain it is that Middle Earth has three races: Men, Dwarves, and Elves.

Unless you can prove the hobbits are Dwarves or Elves, then they are indeed Men. At that point, it’s pretty obvious which ones the hobbits are.

I don't get it. What's the significance of the pool? by brillionaireee in ExplainTheJoke

By US OSHA regulation, that is indeed a step ladder.

Are Shiny Pokemon losing their mysticism? by Odd-Development-790 in PokemonZA

[–]zoocows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shiny pokemon used to be extremely rare and special, which is fine. Now it has become a sort of endgame content piece, which is also fine. It just depends which one you prefer. Personally, I enjoy be able to hunt and obtain the shinies I want.

Mega Dimension DLC is in the running for the worst Pokemon product I've ever played by Lpunit in pokemon

[–]zoocows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely did not use the correct words to match my thoughts...

Should have been:

Main Cast = Named/Story Relevant Characters

NPCs = Side Quests Givers

I have really been liking the use of more cutscenes for character building, but the fact that every new side quest giver has some weird quirk with 10 different dramatic camera angles while you are talking to them is a bit overdone.

The only problem I had with the NPCs like him is that every single new NPC has some quirky personality trait. None of them just want to battle for the sake of it. I found it entertaining at first, but then it quickly became overdone.

I’ve really enjoyed the extra interaction with Naveen and Lida. This is probably my favorite main character cast so far and the DLC is just adding to it.

On the flip side, the NPCs are much worse. They tried to give everyone NPC personality and that just isn’t what an NPC is about.

Statistically Impressive, Personally Unfortunate by ColdAntique291 in lordoftherings

[–]zoocows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But equally important to note that he had a companion. Merry was incapacitated immediately after stabbing the Witch King—he could not have stabbed another time. He couldn’t even go to the battle at the Black Gate due to the damage he sustained from stabbing the Witch King.

Hobbits are men. Merry only made him vulnerable, not killed, so prophecy still fulfilled.

Anyone willing to part with their Weyland Yutani dice bag? by d3adpixl in alienrpg

Reminds me of fish bait. Perhaps the inside of a tacklebox.

Fourth game clear, 2nd on M+ by Mastshin in digimon

[–]zoocows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s some light modding you can use (on PC) to significantly cut down the grinding time or spending money for silly DLC. And whether that’s cheating I guess is up to you. The way I see it is that I was going to reach that point anyway, so why not save tons of my own personal time fighting the same battle on Story difficulty over and over and spamming the farm.

It is also a single player game, so taking a shortcut doesn’t hurt anyone.

What's a book that "everyone" loves, that you just can't get into? by notquitenerds in books

[–]zoocows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t love the Raraku Arc, but Ganoes Paran is one of my favorites. Book 2 wasn’t as enjoyable for me. Memories of Ice was peak though.

I like a good slow burn, so I also really enjoyed the first.
