    H. G. Wells, classic sci-fi, and derivative works appreciation thread

    I remember that, and that the first book was good...but the second and third books sorta took the premise of the first book, chucked it off a cliff, and went off to do something weird instead.

    H. G. Wells, classic sci-fi, and derivative works appreciation thread

    Honestly, my introduction to what might be called classic sci-fi was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and then later War of the Worlds. Of course, even later they ruined that last one by making a movie of it with Tom Cruise.

    Seven Colours (Naruto)

    What, like the fact that she's been operating under the de facto assumption that she will leave Kusa before her second decade? The way she's seemingly internalized the notion of Kusa as an enemy village from basically day one?

    Seven Colours (Naruto)

    Thing is, she identifies that one trap as a Kusa design and specialty, which makes the idea that it was a misidentification of an Iwa trap...iffy. And the same hyper focus that makes her susceptible to being an unreliable narrator also makes it unlikely for her to misidentify a trap.

    Seven Colours (Naruto)

    It's almost like high-functioning sociopaths aren't good at socializing and have different priorities, or something. Meanwhile, I'm over here in the "not having any sympathy for cyclops" camp. Suicide-baiting and gloating over familial deaths really doesn't deserve any better.

    Seven Colours (Naruto)

    "Civil" and "worked" are two non-overlapping descriptions.

    Seven Colours (Naruto)

    Given how hilariously completely and totally dysfunctional Team Seven was, before it violently imploded into grand betrayal and obsession, I don't think it actually did. The only reason it came to anything even resembling a good end is because Naruto is so badly brain-damaged that he's willing...

    Seven Colours (Naruto)

    That would, arguably, be even less likely to produce the result the village head is looking for. Forcing her into pairing with someone who pursued a one-sided grudge campaign for nearly the entirety of their academy time and the other prodigy who's ass she beat bloody is...uh, not a combination...

    Seven Colours (Naruto)

    I mean...counterpoint: ninja students should really learn some tact, discretion, and situational awareness. They're going into a career path defined by child soldiers, sociopathic prodigies, PTSD, and mental instability, where the ability to read a situation and gauge the responses and emotional...

    Seven Colours (Naruto)

    He might expect her to befriend her teammates...but if he expects that, he really hasn't paid any attention to her entire academy period. Where, despite close interaction and ostensible cooperation with an entire class of fellow students...she made exactly one close relation. Given her...

    With a lever big enough I can move the world{BattleTech CYOA]

    Because the MkVII isn't an ASF and isn't armed like one, and a pair of ASFs is a much greater contribution to defense in transit and against the most likely means of attack than a pair of shuttles and a pair of tanks. More so if you consider that the collarmates of any given cargo ship should be...

    Fourth [Worm Altpower!Taylor]

    I think the telling bit here is that either Emma is seriously crazy and hallucinating, or Eden actually pushed her onto the path of abusing Taylor. Presumably with this end result in mind, I suppose.

    No, it's actually vaguely Greek in origin and had its roots in a long-dead 40k wargaming RP forum. To date, I'm not quite sure why or how it came into being, even though I've been using it for nearly a decade and a half now in one variation or another.

    In case I don't get around to telling people otherwise, will be out of contact for three weeks from Tuesday. I fucking hate swamps.

    In case you were not aware, it is considered extremely rude to mass-tag people.

    Somehow I feel as though things are being deliberately overlooked. :P
