I don't mean to start a discussion here, but this is your interpretation and it's valid. But galadriel's character has contradictory history depending on your sources (even regarding the kinslaying). And it's debated even between Tolkien's scholars the extend at which she can 'sense evil'. After all, she herself was deceived by saruman after his corruption during the third age.
In your last paragraph you say 'nothing about her character in the series has any respect for Tolkien's work'. That's simply hyperbole, and arguably not true, as even a surface level reading can prove otherwise. Such words are not Tolkien's way.
Anyway, I don't want you to change your mind, just want you to be aware of the possibility of other interpretations. Take care!
Honestly I don't really care, I'm more inclined to strategy and 4x games.
If you don mind me recommending a game, check out against the storm, it's a city builder with rogue like elements, and it came out recently out of early access, it's reaaaaally addicting
I wouldn't say naive, but definitely reckless. And I would 100% say they portrayed her as strong in the tv series. Hell, it begins with her on an incursion on the remains of angband, which if you know the lore I'd say it's pretty badass. Her arc in season 1 was about how she was so blinded by revenge and recklessness, that she couldn't see the evil in front of her. Which is pretty fitting for a noldor elf.
It shows that even trying your hardest to make good, your actions can and will have unintended consequences, even 'evil' ones. Which perfectly sets up her eventual rejection of the one ring, during the mirror scene in fellowship of the ring. She knew then she'd have good intentions using it, but she also knew more evil will come with that
I understand where you are coming from, but the context necessary for it to make sense is that you don't have to operate following the assumption that the seasons work the same for each hemisphere, one actually has a colder winter than the other, so that would affect the global average with a bias for the colder one. Think of it this way: the average winter temperature for the Southern hemisphere is not as cold as the average winter temperature for the northern one, so when taking them both into account for the global average, the temperatures in the north are going to skew the results (the Southern winter is not enough to offset the high temperatures of the northern summer, so the global average of the earth in its entirety is colder during the northen winter)
As to why that happens, well you are right that distance to the sun is one of the biggest factors for temperature, but it's not the only one. Global climate is a dynamic system, with a lot pf variables interacting with one another. Things like ocean currents and the amount of landmasses play a big role in regional climates. For example, thanks to the ocean currents Europe enjoys a milder climate than it would given its latitude. In this case the Antarctic cold is unable to go north due to being sealed by the Antarctic current, which encircles the continent. Also, the Southern hemisphere has a lot less landmass than the northen one, and water is a temperature regulator, so that affects the climate down here as well.
The Southern hemisphere's temperatures in winter (jun-sep) aren't as cold as the northern hemisphere ones, so it makes sense the global average coldest temperatures are when the northern hemisphere is in winter .
For reference, only the Southern tip of south America gets snow in winter in the souther hemisphere
I would hardly consider 'power users' the ones who download via the API. I used to download them via BSPlayer, where it will prompt you in a nice user friendly interface if you needed subtitles for whatever you were watching. Well, that used the old OpenSubtitles API, and now that it's gone it's not gonna work anymore
Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want to downplay people's experiences and performance issues ARE concerning, and I personally hold the belief that a company is responsible for the quality of the product they bring to market and ultimately a fault in their own processes if they couldn't. BUT it doesn't take away that the issue has been overblown. It simply, given the game's circumstances, shouldn't be getting the hate it's currently harbouring. It seems to me that the internet's found the new shiny thing to hate on, and the human psyche simply can't resist just a smidge more of rage
Well I think the whole performance thing have been blown waaaay out of proportion by a vocal few. I have a relatively old pc with an rx580 8gb vram and the game's been running fine for me. Obviously it needs some patches, but people have been saying it's the second coming of ksp2, and that's simply bullshit
Not that I doubt the scientific accuracy of space Dinos coming home in a rocket, but technically speaking monkeys didn't exist by the time dinosaurs went extinct, so the space Dinos wouldn't have known about them. We were all the size of rodents
Reddit's life blood is arguments for the argument's sake, even when you don't have a flu what you are arguing against or for. So it doesn't really surprise.
Besides, Reddit's been heavily moderating positive comments about Lemmy so it may be that bias showing
Yeah that'd be a bit worrisome I reckon lol. I do want to experience a cold Christmas someday tho
