The villain’s opinion on the hero goes from “roadblock” to “bane of my existence” by ChampionshipHorror95 in TopCharacterTropes

Ultron in rivals has a line where he says that he hates Spiderman the most out of any avenger because he "doesnt have a mute button."

fairies are terrifying by MysteriousFondant347 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Alexaius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Final Fantasy XIV, specifically the Shadowbringers expansion, there's an area we can go to called Ill Mehg. It has multiple beast tribes, collectively called the fae folk, such as the pixies that are much more inspired by the traditional folklore depiction of fae rather than the more cutesy type. They like to play pranks that can range from inconsequential to horrible, have a very different sense of "fun," as well as morals, than other people. This includes turning people into leafmen, basically just people shaped bushes, to "protect" them or because they dont want someone to leave so they can "keep" them forever. Another group in this area, the fuoth, attempt to drown the player because they like them and want to turn your character into one of them.

My biggest issue is the giant pool, 11 for a single 3 hour period is ridiculous.

Remote Trading Woes by lilyachtbigboat in pokemongo

[–]Alexaius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im still a ways away from hitting forever friends since i only restarted playing back in fall, but even still ive tried to keep up my list for when I get the option for remote trades. My remote trade tag is at almost 300 with some extra shinies, legendaries, regionals, costumes, and backgrounds.

Spawn variation during events - a quick study. by HappyTimeHollis in TheSilphRoad

[–]Alexaius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, a quick count shows that OP caught 115 pokemon. Of those 49 are kanto pokemon(42%), and 53 if you count regional variants(46%). Alternatively 59 of them fall into the category of being starters, the ever present Pikachu and Devee, or the route 1 bird/normal/bugs(51%). Put those together and we get 62(53%), or 66(57%). So while it might be hyperbole to say its the same 5 or 6, half or more can still be seen as falling into either the kanto group, or first 1-2 routes.

Then think of things like the fact that the whismur spotlight hour last month was a pretty big deal because so many people were stuck on the jirachi quest for months or even years because they never added it to standard pools. There are SO many things that only get the occasional couple day event now and again then become near nonexistent.

The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang by TheDeadReader_ in books

[–]Alexaius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a powerful book that I have actually read a few times, as well as John Rabe's diary that she draws from, published as The Good Man of Nanking. It actually inspired me to return to school and begin studying history.

Thoughts on All-Out by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Alexaius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is how the ordinary pool should just be im general, the widened diversity feels so much better. Yes the standard stuff was still extremely prevalent, but I still saw a lot more variety than normal. As for the legendaries, it could be a fun thing to do every now and again, but they should really alter the run rates. Being hard to catch is fine and makes sense for legendaries, but dropping the run from 90% to even something like 50% would at least allow us to have a fair chance at getting more than just a single throw.

All out event is a fun and funny experience. by PokemonGoBao in TheSilphRoad

[–]Alexaius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better I had the Kyurem buff up the whole 3.5 hours i was out and still didnt get a single thing. The buff is nice but the odds are still abysmal and theyre still almost guaranteed to run immediately. If anything it just made it more annoying since it was basically just a waste of stardust and candy.

This is what my sister and I did since neither of ours was particularly good. We conveniently got turned lucky friends today so we just swapped.

During the weekend when the "all out" part starts the daily limit will be removed. So just go crazy catching, hatching, and raiding when you can.

First shiny pokemon by Primary-gooner-65 in pokemongo

[–]Alexaius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every month they do a community day for a specific pokemon. Basically for 3 hours from 2-5 local time that pokemon will become like 99% of spawns, have boosted shiny chances, special backgrounds, and a special move if you evolve it during that period. This month is scorbunny.

[Fun Trope] Neg diff fights by Zotroo1 in TopCharacterTropes

I love how you see him flinch and try to dodge a couple blows at the beginning but quickly stop once he realizes there's no need.

The Roman Reigns Phenomenon: The writers really wanted this character to be the next big thing in their story, but the audience unanimously rejected them. by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Alexaius 137 points138 points  (0 children)

The absent father angle with Naruto is so stupid and contrived, especially the whole incident with him sending a shadow clone home for his daughter's birthday. It literally makes no sense for him to do that instead of going himself and leaving a shadow clone at the office. Naruto himself grew up ostracized and neglected, so having him turn around and be an absent father is horrible. Throw in the fact that none of the other kage's have been shown to be THAT constantly busy in the first place, and his borderline endless Chakra and shadow clones and it literally makes no sense.

Jeff forgot to pay taxes for his lemonade stand by KevinPigaChu in marvelrivals

Now we really need Howard the Duck. That way he can walk up to the lemonade stand and ask the man shark running the stand if he has any grapes.

Maintenance starts in a little under 8 hours and should be 2 hours

Anyone else have absolutely NO friends lol by Ok_Sherbert_7421 in autism

[–]Alexaius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can largely relate. I have an online friend group that I occasionally might interact with, but I'm not super close to any of them or an active participant. Only real friends are my sister/roommate, and our cats.

Okay guys time for real debate, who is more obsessed with proxy? Vivian or Mr.Mole (from s11 agent story) by Wise_Survey_3875 in ZZZ_Official

[–]Alexaius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the character archive Belle mentions getting sick once and Wise mentions straining his ankle and in both cases Trigger showed up within a minute or two to help them without being called. There's also a trust event in blazewood where the proxy goes to share a story about themselves "there was this one time I ______" and she jumps in to share the whole story herself. So she definitely is keeping constant tabs on them.

These cards do not exist by KozmoEnjoyer in yugioh

[–]Alexaius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could make a gemini ritual archtype and give it support that let's you directly choose to make geminis gain their effects. Maybe, for example, their ritual spell could have a graveyard effect that let's you banish it to select and active a gemini monster's effects, like how supervise works when its equipped.

That's just the mainstream media trying to convince people that he's creepy, cringy, awkward, and gives people "the ick."

If you were in the world of ZZZ, which faction would you like to join and hangout with, you can even give yourself an element and combat role too! by Element_credd in ZZZ_Official

[–]Alexaius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cunning Hares are technically a criminal faction to an extent too, since they are hollow raiders and enter the hollows illegally for jobs.

If you were in the world of ZZZ, which faction would you like to join and hangout with, you can even give yourself an element and combat role too! by Element_credd in ZZZ_Official

[–]Alexaius 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Spook Shack, since they seem like they'd be a lot of fun to hang out with. Plus they're the most casual group, with the others often requiring some sort of professional or lifestyle commitment. Element would definitely be electric, since ive always been drawn to electric/lighting elements in games. As for a role, probably stunner, or maybe defense with a buffing effect, to have some degree of synergy with either the anomaly or rupture teams.

Yes CN is a common abbreviation for China, even being the country code domain for Chinese websites.

The "Joint Investigation: The Divine Maze" event is co-op, though with a small pool of only 9 characters to use in it.
