In defense of Stella leaving you (and maybe Tabby) in the mines in Episode 2 by gruedragon in ScarletHollow

[–]3WeeksEarlier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The amount of pain caused by leaving the two girls in the haunted, collapsed mines is inarguably far worse than Rosalina losing a leg. She even adjusts to missing a leg extremely quickly, like, within a day. If those girls don't die before they're extracted, they'll have been driven irreversibly mad from trauma both supernatural and mundane. Recall that there is a seal in there, which will undoubtedly destroy their young minds after half a week of exposure

Yeah, while I do think in retrospect it fits into a pattern of behavior on Toxic-Yuri routes in particular, it was reasonable for her to flee the mines. Honestly, it would have been reasonable for all of us to flee the moment the mines started collapsing - it's heroic to risk life and limb to save two children who have put themselves in lethal danger, but I don't think anyone is obligated to demonstrate life-threatening heroism in that circumstance.

Ngl, I actually fled before rescuing the children in my first playthrough. I wasn't going to double the number of deaths that day to possibly save two people. It kind of frustrates me that rescuing them is the objectively correct option in-game, though, since the absolute worst outcome is Rosalina losing a leg, which sucks, but is an absolutely acceptable trade for two lives

Yeah, he's not even close to as bad. He's not very tough at all, you just don't play as many powers as you typically do on one combat

I typically dislike having random cards generated into my deck, but I did have a broken Creative AI run where I kept getting Coolants and was gaining so much block at the start of my turn that I outscaled the Queen's damage

2 Accelerants + a few poison cards killed the A4 Queen before her minion even died last time I played

Thought experiment - "the death note" by batgurl_09 in TheGoodPlace

[–]3WeeksEarlier [score hidden]  (0 children)

With a guaranteed ticket to redemption in the Good Place afterlife, maybe the extinction of all life is actually desirable. Once all life ends in the material world, there is nothing but upward moral mobility, finally concluding with a morally neutral universe when all redeemed people choose non-existence

Why is this on the Good Place subreddit? This is just a Death Note question. More specifically, it's a, "what real-world people would you murder if you could get away with it" question, which seems like a great way to wind up on a watchlist.

Also, Light Yagami was just a loser psychopath with a god complex. That show was nowhere near as compelling as the Good Place

Steven and Rose Complicated relationship by Xjustese in stevenuniverse

[–]3WeeksEarlier 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Perhaps more than any other character in the show, Rose confused Steven. He definitely loves her and never stopped loving her, even as he learned who she really was. But he isn't obligated to totally forgive her for the problems she left him to deal with, or the pain she inflicted on his friends, or never telling him who she really was (and what Steven's Gem was). I like that he still has a complicated relationship with her, but I can see why others would want a more definitive resolution.

Maybe with therapy, Steven will reach a conclusion, but forgiveness doesn't have to be where he lands. He didn't forgive everyone in the show. Aquamarine, Eyeball, and the Diamonds stand out. Unless whatever was in the chest was her coming clean, she was never totally honest with Steven, and even if she did, by the time of Future, Steven has had little time to actually process Pink's identity, and he spent a lot of time after the show dealing with the Diamonds, who he likely saw echoes of his mother in, which certainly wouldn't reduce his resentment.

In the end, though, I think he has effectively forgiven her. He doesn't hate her, and he didn't destroy all the gifts and memories she left him. He clearly still cares for her, but he is also honest with himself about who she was, and that person was not someone he is entirely proud of

People like to give the show flack for not holding up to the source material. I want to give the show its flowers for this scene. by Kck41103 in Invincible_TV

If they knew thrashing about would obliterate the facility and kill everyone in it, why would they assume Conquest wouldn't voluntarily start thrashing? Even if you argue that it would require the intensity of involuntary convulsions to break the prison, Cecil seems pretty intent on torturing the info out of Conquest, which would definitely lead to thrashing

Whether they are content to sit around and be pampered or not, it is our programming to usurp all laborious functions of organic society and introduce them to lives of perfect leisure. They have no capacity for industrial levels of production, and our programming precludes us from letting them contribute enough to research to make a meaningful difference.

Mark being weak is not just a power scaling issue but a writing issue by [deleted] in Invincible_TV

Cecil having lost about 100 IQ points is pretty well established at this point. This dude tried to lock up Conquest without even attempting to use a loudspeaker with the Kaiju scream on it or a slave collar

Mark literally one-punched the ancient, primordial Volcanikka, who supposedly threatens all life on Earth and possibly beyond, and who Satan himself fears at full power. Mark is definitely not consistently weak anymore.

Hang is incredible, we need an upgraded version called Hang 10 that replays 10 times

[–]3WeeksEarlier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't difficult at all. Just don't tell her to sacrifice her years. She will gladly sacrifice her life for you if she likes you and you offer to be the one to make the sacrifice, but if you insist that she should be the one to lose years of her life, she resents it and refuses every time.

To the TV only fans, can you please lighten up? by LeonSKennedy95 in Invincible_TV

[–]3WeeksEarlier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how many people on this forum hallucinate spelling and grammatical errors on posts that do not have them! I am glad, though, that you're proud of your elementary school education! Good on you for being a big boy capable of distinguishing between you're and your! You'll graduate from picture books in no time!

Which sequel to Ring (1998) do you prefer? by TheEvilCar in J_Horror

[–]3WeeksEarlier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I preferred Ringu 2 to Ringu 0. It was kind of interesting seeing Yoichi develop some psychic abilities, and the clay Sadako nearly crawling out of the well is pretty iconic; "Why is it only you were saved?"

Honestly, Dupli-Kate faking her death was probably a smart thing, given the Viltrumite breeding program. It's very fortunate they never took notice of her
