  1.  @dennisz1252  "destroys a bunch of things just to be with her" wow, no, you don't understand her character at all

  7. Red, you missed one very important detail: they did manage to find enough silver to crash their economy because they didn't understand how to handle inflation (which, ironically, probably fueled their drive for gold even more). Otherwise great video with a lot I didn't know. https://youtu.be/rjhIzemLdos

  8.  @zoro115-s6b  to be fair, hills are really useful in mechanized warfare too...you just want to be behind one (perhaps hull-down in a tank), not standing tall on one like a jackass.

  9. Not only did I get Telltale heart, Masque of the Red Death, and the Monkeys Paw pretty early, but I got to see plays of the first, last, and I think another of Poe's work that I've forgotten

  13.  @AlexanderRJaruk  yup, just learn some frigging tact... especially with any supernatural beings who help with the housework because whooo-boy can they turn on a dime.

  14. Either that, or generations later well into recovery. The "it's been several years and everything is still a mess" is almost never done well (in part because they almost all want some kind of post appoc stasis where people neither recover or become doomed, but just scavange perishable goods semi-indefinitely)

  15. Another great use of a pure evil villian is to put the focus squarely on how people react to them (essentially acting like a cross between an anti-paragon and a force of nature villian). Take the Lord of the Rings for a classic example and look at how all the characters (especially outside the fellowship, but to a lesser degree within) act when faced with the evil and power of Sauron. To pick just one example, the reason "and Rohan will answer" is so powerful is, in part, because the conflict remains focused on how the character react when put under pressure. Theodin had many reasons to refuse the call, but setting aside his own issues to do what needs to be done was a powerful moment. Thinking about why Sauron was doing what he did diminishes that. The same pattern of forcing other characters to make difficult choices/rise to the occasion works for more present and charismatic villains too. Paragons make heros by leading by example. Pure evil villains make heroes by forcing choices.

  17. I mean, it's not hard to notice the moon moving towards the sun before the eclipse, into the same spot in the sky as the Sun durring the eclipse (if you don't mind some spots in your eyes from looking nearly straight into the Sun) and then away from the Sun after the eclipse. It's not hard to put together that the moon has something to do with the eclipse.

  18. Better ear then me, I guess, as it's always been good enough that I can't tell the difference.

  19. It's mainly the Abrahamic faiths that suppress that. Once you discount them and the cultures strongly influenced by them, it's fairly common. Unfortunately, religious edicts favoring high rates of procreation tend to make a religion more expansionist, leading to some non-ideal results when things are left to play out. How much someone wants to say that those religions are to blame vs it being a negative cultural norm that hitched a ride on the religions (or visa versa) is up to them and not something I'm going to touch right now. Thankfully we're starting to move past such repression again.

  20. Yes Please! I need to see an OSP overview of that!

  21.  @jmiquelmb  also Scotland: "Sure you don't want to just quit while you're ahead? Because you don't want any of this!" Unrelated, but I would have respected the fuck put of Eva Rebuild if the 4 movies thing had been a fakeout and it had ended with the credits roll in the 2nd movie as a "Well, you wanted Shinji to grow a pair and just get in the robot. Happy now?"

  23. There's a video on YouTube with the beginning being sung, in Sumerian, about how old the story was to the people recording the epic.

  25.  @s871-c1q  an easy, but time consuming route would be to go back further using CK2 and then port a game where you're not starting from a position handicapped by a run of terrible (usually short-lived) emperors. If you do well you might even be able to hit 1444 having most of the Western Roman Empire reunified under your rule. If you do really well, you can do even better than that.

  27. Erin's death should NOT have been a fakeout death. We went through the most interesting part of his character arc before and all that was left was stuff we'd seen countless times before. Meanwhile, while he was "dead" Armin and especially Mikasa went through massive and rapid character development starting to become great lead characters in their own right rather than supporting characters because they couldn't rely on Erin to take the lead anymore. Mikasa in particular went through a phase of suicidal grief and rage only to realize that she had a responsibility to step up and be a leader rather than getting her squad killed and in that state would have made a great main character going forward if the creators had had the balls to pull a decoy protagonist trope with Erin like Guran Legan did. Instead we fell right back into Erin getting revived with an uber powerup. This killed the "anyone can die" dramatic tension they had spent so much effort and so many character deaths building up. The other 2 "main" characters went right back to just following Erin's ass (in Mikasa's case, arguably literally) and lost half or more of the character development they just achieved. You also lost the main interest in the combat thus far which was humanity being GROSSLY outclassed and needing to come up with insane ways to desperately try to even the odds and that still not being enough. You could even have the plot run nearly identically if Erin just cannot heal mortal wounds by turning into a Titan, and so finish bleeding out after he turns back. Add Mikasa knowing about the key and that their father did something to Erin and you're basically running the same plots with very little changes necessary. Seriously, how amazing would Attack on Titan have been if they Erin ACTUALLY died there?

  30. If you want to feed the first wolf I listened to a free audiobook (I ❤ libravox volunteers for what they do) of The Book of Werewolves which is a fascinating compelation of a massively wide range of werewolf legends put together in 1865. If anyone's interested in starting a deep dive, I highly recommend it.

  31. You requested to let you know what I think. Respectfully, I think you need to leave your disclaimers or any other large block of text on the screen at least long enough that I can be reasonably be expected to pause on it without backtracking and slowing down the playback speed. I enjoy your content, but please don't pull impossible-difficulty quick time events on me. It's hard enough with a spacebar to slap, but on a phone [Gollum Voice] it hurts us.

  32. Type 6b where your dark reflection nemesis is your future self is surprisingly common when time travel is involved. Beware to any who would interfere with the flow of time!

  40. I'm kinda the opposite. I've actually gotten pissed when a writer ruins a great death with a cheap revival. The worst offender was probably Gundam SEED Destiny, where they brought back a character with one of the most epic character deaths I've ever seen...but with amnesia, as a villian, and wearing a mask to hide his face but it's super obvious who it is. My reaction was legit: "No, bullshit! That death scene was perfect; do not cheapen that sacrifice with this fanfic-tier copout. We even saw the helmet from his spacesuit floating in space after that explosion. FUCK YOU!" ...and frankly, the idea that they went back in the remaster to editout the helmet doesn't make that death any more survivable at all (the mech was vaporized with a weapon that one-shots even the heaviest battleships in the series), and just cheapens it for a retcon in a terrible sequel...and this from a series that was not shy about killing characters.

  43. In between movies may I recommend Heather Dale's song "The Maiden and the Selkie" which completely inverts almost everything about this story structure. https://youtu.be/SR7QTKe1D7Q Not a perfect redemption of it but a fun and interesting subversion.
