A: How to write a PG13 Succubus character?

ThomoAs cloudchaser pointed out, a succubus is a very specific entity, That said, a modern YA twist on such an entity is eminently doable. Lust is, at a base level, a desire for something. And a succubus feeds off the energy created by desire for it. So how do you modernize and make it YA friendly ...

am i the only one who, after reading that, sees the Kardashians as modern day Young Adult style Succubi and Incubi? feeding off the attention from social media and TV ratings we provide

Q: Thanos And the Time Stone

Max PowerI watched the movie today, and there's one thing I don't get. Dr. Strange saw a bunch of alternative futures, using the Time Stone, of which there's only ONE which the Avengers win. And Dr. Strange hinted that he is following this potential future. Can't Thanos do the exact same thing, now? Esp...

@aj with your answer here do you want the spoilers? i rejected an anonomous suggested edit because it attempted to put spoilers in but failed. possible to do multiline spoilers but would need to use html and stick everyone on one line to my understanding
 
A J
@Memor-X rejected. I should remove the part where I mentioned it is a spoiler.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ good one

@Memor-X you make good posts so you deserve it
@Memor-X that family make me realize why this world is doomed for an end
 
@AnkitSharma i assume you mean world
 
@Memor-X lol
@Memor-X congrats
 
@AnkitSharma lol, they were good enough to rep cap me and deny me any more
i don't think i've rep capped before, even on Anime and Manga
 
3:01 AM
I almost got rep cap yesterday but didn't maybe because my spider-man post came too late
@Memor-X on anime it look tough, I means I see it very less in HNQ and even then I feel there is bit lack of upvotes compare to other sites to push it into HNQ
 
I wrote 3 answers on Hinduism and only managed to get ~100 even two of them were accepted.
 
Rep cap is very rare
I got it twice. Once is due to someone serial voting me. :P

A: Is Spider-Man: Homecoming correct in saying it takes place 8 years after the Battle of New York?

Ankit SharmaFrom screenrant.com: Q: So when does this movie take place? Generally in the MCU, movies take place when they are released. But this feels like it’s… Eric Carroll: It will be a little off. There will be some awkward chronology in that the movie comes out almost two years after Civil War,...

@AnkitSharma Charles is also on answer rampage for IW. He answered the most number of IW questions, but he couldn't beat me in terms of score.
 
@AJ he is doing well, his answer I liked till now
@AJ I might have beat your score but most of my answer came on dead questions or they got multiple answer and not seeing the film contributed

@AJ when it was GoT season 7 , it was Ghoti and Chips. Now for IW it 's Charles. We get a new contributor for every new season or movie.
@AJ I am in a strange situation on Hinduism. 1 vote for a tag badge, 2 votes for another tag badge, 1 vote for 11 k . Which one do you like? ;)

Q: Difference between Realms vs. Dimensions vs. Planets v.s Universes

RagnarssonIn MCU, there are terms like Realms (ex: Nine Realms), Dimensions (ex: Dark Dimension), Planets (ex: Earth, Xandar, etc) and Universes. What are the differences between these? Planets are clear, but for example: Are Realms actually planets? Or are they just sepcial terms used by Odin and Asgard...

Q: Who has filming rights for Squirrel Girl?

Ankit SharmaSquirrel Girl is a very popular Marvel comics character, but I never heard about any live action adaptation in any development. She was considered a mutant too but then came out as not being one. So I wanted to know who really has the filming rights for Squirrel Girl, is it Fox or Disney? Or any ...

Napoleon WilsonSkyfall made prominent use of paintings, especially paintings of ships, to visualize James Bond's and MI6's state, as previosly discussed.

Maybe you guys can tell any real difference. Both are asking what the painting is... I don't know.

@steelersquirrel That question gives a justification why it might be more than trivia
 
1:50 PM
Hmmmm...okay, then.
 
JAD
that's just my guess
 
I didn't thing that we really had defined rules as to what trivia really is. Too many questions are getting close votes put on them for minor "trivial" reasons. (pun intended) Muahahahaha! ;)

@JAD Sure. I just wanted another opinion. Thanks :)
I'm known for asking for other opinions seeing how I get confused very easily :P

@steelersquirrel or infinity war is ruller here, to my surprise we are getting more IW question then them

Q: Do Arnold and Ford continue living through hosts' programming

AsmaniArnold used his own voice as the inner monologue of the hosts. We several times see Dolores having conversations with Arnold in her mind. In S01E10 there's a log-in from Arnold's access code. These all may suggest that Arnold is living through the hosts' programming. In S01E10 Ford says: Mozart, ...

bingo, I think we have a winner for M&TV:
@Paulie_D So, you suspect an "unimportant trivia that does not add to the understanding or appreciation of the title"? Roy Andersson being the champion of the theory of "Complex image" and spending literally months to compose and build each set, I would be surprised if the center of this frame could be described as a trivia. Before dismissing my question with words such as "apparently" and "plot", I invite you to discover his work, which you do not seem familiar with. You may also read this: stackoverflow.blog/2018/04/26/…Aristide 21 mins ago

Q: Was the Iron Man video phone technology ever used in real life?

Johnny BonesAt the very beginning of Iron Man (and in other parts of the movie) we see Tony Stark, inventor of technology so advanced he can create a suit that builds itself, use a phone with a flip-out video screen. Was this technology ever in use in real life? I know phones had pretty rudimentary cameras...

Is there any conclusion on this? movies.stackexchange.com/q/88560/48608 @AnkitSharma @NapoleonWilson ?
 
Uff heavy rain here
 
While the discussion about the blog post isn't entirely futile and sure one to be had, there are more appropriate venues where it could be held (and where it already is held anyway). I'm glad it didn't have as much of an impact on our site and meta as it had on other sites and I'd prefer to avoid that for as long as possible.
Which isn't to say "Psst, don't mention it!". But there is really a ton to say about that thing and a ton that has been said already.
 
I heard people going crazy over design thing too which is not a big thing until we at-least know exact changes
 
New thing is ToS

Q: In Westworld, what powers the hosts? Do they need a "recharge" every now and then?

sv.In Westworld, what's the underlying power source for the hosts? Do they digest food like humans to generate calories? I think this is especially important to know in S2.

 
8:18 PM
@AnkitSharma nah, I'd just choose one. And they're really easy and obvious questions
@O.Rares huh, I don't know. I don't tend to prefer a genre over another, and I can probably give you my favorites in one genre
But I guess if we treat the question like "give me the names of the first three movies that come to mind when you want to recommend watching them to others", which will have different answers, I can say Inception, Hot Fuzz and Logan
But I can't tell that to someone that doesn't like violence, or can't watch R-rated.
