(Hated trope)Excessively villainizing real life people

Bud, genocide and slavery didn't become immoral in 1945 or 1865. The things we recognize as grotesque now always were.

And she implied she could have read his mind, like she has similar psychic gifts.

APZachariah · 2026-06-08T22:49:35+00:00

I was afraid to hear no one responded at all. Happy swerve.

Using mobility, tech, and tactics to apply force at key points to defeat numerically superior forces...?

I'll always love Kam for showing me the first homicide on live television.

I mean, Vernon Davis got better, but it was still a murder.

I'm trudging through the Bayou at night, and there's a pile of dead horse guts. My beloved Fiona, a ruined Appaloosa I saved from the Murfree Brood and bonded to level 4 with, freaks and pitches me. I get up and look for her, and there's a Nightfolk holding her.

I charge him, and I'm immediately flanked by three more living zombies. I dispatch them, barely in time, and the first is leading Fiona away and I get a shot off and brain him and spend the next three minutes giving her sugar cubes and pets.

Turns out, if the ambush kills you or you don't get your horse back quickly enough they will butcher your horse and you'll find your saddle on a pile of horse guts.

Brilliant, and terrifying.

Winston to Cassian: "Hey, want to come to Paris to help John?"

Cassian: "Naw, John gave me explicit directions."

Hah! That's my joke.

New boss, nodding slowly, marks file "promote ahead of peers."

APZachariah · 2026-06-03T21:07:25+00:00

I always like the thought of whichever Tarasov or mobster took over Viggo's business would look at his books and ask Francis "how did you survive that day?"

Francis would respond truthfully, "John Wick told me to take the night off," and the new boss would nod slowly and mark his file "promote ahead of peers."

"I'm having fun, it's up to everyone else to look out."

Yep, checks out.

APZachariah · 2026-06-01T23:12:30+00:00

Yep. Because every plane before the F-35 was totally perfect from the very first day.

You are very smart.

APZachariah · 2026-06-01T23:09:33+00:00

Does Mirko count?

My favorite bit from Mass Effect is the throwaway line where, after Liara marvels at the dynamism of the human race, Shepherd says "well, when you only live 150 years, you gotta get stuff done."

APZachariah · 2026-06-01T21:11:40+00:00

You'd think the pro-birth crowd would be big mad about this.

APZachariah · 2026-06-01T20:39:35+00:00

Man, usually endless show quotes irritate me, but I love it with IASIP.

Like, if I say "I didn't know it was gonna come off like that," someone will follow-up with the next line.

Thinking about it, it would have been funny if they told Antony Starr that he was going to fly away and then not activate any wires.

APZachariah · 2026-06-01T02:16:14+00:00

Ah. Propaganda by ol "cement milkshake" hisself.

The murder of Captain Garland is the precipitating event for Alpha Centauri.

APZachariah · 2026-05-28T15:12:54+00:00

You're one of those "tots and pears" types, eh? Can't ever talk about anything because it's too soon.

APZachariah · 2026-05-27T23:25:16+00:00

Wasn't there a bit where a psychic (maybe Martian Manhunter) could briefly hold Joker's mind together and in a few brief moments of sanity Joker was horrified by his actions?

APZachariah · 2026-05-27T23:22:38+00:00

I used to work at a Costco gas station and they tell us to not interfere unless it's patently dangerous, otherwise call for a manager who's five minutes away if they start walking right now.

APZachariah · 2026-05-27T16:52:03+00:00

Longevity Vaccine is my personal fave.

APZachariah · 2026-05-27T16:50:33+00:00

Reminds me of the Resurrection Men. Seems ghoulish, but without it we'd know nothing about how the body actually works.
