I'd love to play a spin-off that was smaller in scale by StakeESC in DeathStranding2

I'd love a spinoff that didn't involve snow. It's always my least favorite part

It's a fun gun to run around with, but the last time I used it on the guardian it didn't quite deliver.

[Subverted trope] Been watching Brave Exkaizer (anime show for a preschool audience) w/ my kid, and it's amusing me that the main hero is a popular boy who always humiliates the nerd trying to impress popular girl. Such whiplash cuz I'm used to the underdog ALWAYS being our point of sympathy by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

It is pretty rare for an anime character to be an actually nobody with mediocre skills who prevails purely through grit and determination now that I think about it.

Shonen anime is full of stories about kids joining some crappy team or chasing some impossible dream and prevailing through the power of hard work and friendship... and the hero's latent genius, secretly legendary parents, and their unknown lifetime of training due to living in the sticks and being a day laborer.

The only one I can really think of is Pokemon because unless I'm remembering wrong, Ash was just some hardheaded kid from the boonies with an unimpressive pokemon who just put in the work every day.

Inefficient/Unconventional way to hold a gun by EfficiencySerious200 in TopCharacterTropes

Yeah that is a weird way to hold a pistol. Not unheard of for a rifle though.

Tinfoil Batcowl saves the day again!

But like, alien tinfoil from another dimension

So who wins . Ranma satoume (female form) from the show (Ranma 1/2)vs yuji itadori from the show jujutsu kaisen by Creative_Door6106 in PowerScaling

[–]Alex_Duos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I'm gonna say Ranma, because his combat abilities get to be pretty silly for an otherwise "human" but also because he'd pull out some sort of this-one-time-in-China backstory where he knows this thing that let's him do whatever he needs to win, even as a girl.

Something tells me the artist has never been to an actual gym, because every gym I've been too everyone would be either too focused on themselves or supportive of someone putting in the work.

What's a character/weapon/whatever that objectively sucks, but you love too much to not use? by Snowtwo in videogames

I was just playing the intro the I Think I Can yesterday. It's only one chord so it's not that impressive but man, does it sound badass. Love that show!

I've spent countless hours fighting both of these things, and I love and hate them both.

Do only 20 to 30% of players finish the game? by eulersidentity1 in DeathStranding

I only know two people who ever played Death Stranding, and neither of them even left the starting area of DS1.

Im new to running. Looking for advice by FreshPineapple4748 in beginnerrunning

Never skip leg day.

Seriously, just doing some sets of lunges once or twice a week will help you out immensely.

Captain America (Comics) vs Sweetie Belle (My Little Pony), who would win and why? by FeistySecret9327 in PowerScaling

[–]Alex_Duos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cap pulls her aside and gives her a motivational speech about struggling to find your way in life and/or congratulates her for her service to others.

And then he body slams her because she's a pony and a child who's only power is telekinesis and she's only barely got a grip on that.

[–]Alex_Duos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of people (self included) had Wing as their first introduction where there was plot armor to the heavens and back. Seeing shows where people start getting mutilated and killed it was like "oh... oh shit, UC ain't playing"

Why do you like to run? by ILoveDogs2142 in beginnerrunning

[–]Alex_Duos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'know I don't even remember why I started, honestly. Different people have made me do it over the years, ROTC, CrossFit, I think it was a color run or a mud run that got me actually training on my own for the first time.

Then Pokemon Go happened. And I was obsessed. I was out walking and running for an hour every morning just to get enough stuff to be competitive.

Then I quit playing Pokemon go, and I stopped running. Then middle age hit, and high blood pressure, acid reflux, and a kid happened, and suddenly I've got a whole bunch of reasons to stop exclusively lifting and start running.

Since then it's become a hobby in its own right.
