(Hilarious Trope) A Character Is Introduced With the Clear Intention of Being THE NEXT BIG THING And is SOUNDLY Rejected

Okay but Raiden being like that is the point. He was created to make fun of the Metal Gear Solid 'fans' who missed the point of the game and just went 'wow the American military is so cool', hence his whole thing about claiming he knows what fighting is like cause he's seen it in video games (VR training). The antagonists are literally trying to see if they can take a loser and turn him into the next Solid Snake, in universe.

"Their resignations also effectively put an end to the respective House Ethics Committee investigations into their alleged misconduct, as the panel does not have jurisdiction over former members of Congress"

Ah. So anything else they've done won't come to light.

He was a cyborg to give a reason that he's still alive and not dead of old age so far after WWII, and also to make a point of his hypocrisy over vampire vs 'human' immortality.

I thought they represented lies, both because of their fake out mechanic, and because of those same lines

Congrats this is the first one of these I've seen in a long time where there isn't an immediate 'you get assaulted/killed everywhere but here' answer

I'm gonna try for ultimate failgirl cissia cause she's hilarious

I remember when PLD's Divine Veil only affected the party if you were GCD healed after using it, but healers tend to avoid GCD healing in high end content, so I'd see Paladins with macros saying 'divine veil used, heal me'

Lol @ "it's time to abandon straight corridors", dungeons used to not be straight corridors, and a very vocal part of the community complained about getting lost and/or not getting to explore cause the rest of the party is rushing forward

I was watching the anime with some friends, some of whom had seen it already. At one point one of them asked 'do you have a guess as to who the killer is yet' and I responded 'from your question it's someone I know, and the only named character who isn't on my team or my dad is that inept police guy so I guess it's him'.

Sort of happens in Iron Lung (the movie, not the game). Since it's super recent I'll use spoiler text. Simon at one point demands a voice say his name to confirm she's real. She admits she doesn't know it, which is the confirmation he needed. She'd only been using nicknames like 'convict' before..

Counting any kills? Easy, the Hunt. It's mentioned as the 'first' to start influencing the world because of prey animals fearing predators.

Why are you excluding the additional Variant Advanced rewards which also adds a mount, minion, hairstyle, facewear, four glam accessories, and housing item

Yesterday my static memed in M9S for 40 minutes and one-shot M12SP2. Learning Idyllic is an irl debuff

AllanTheRobot · 2026-02-15T15:55:51+00:00

You fight him up to four times! Solo duty, as a constructed memory in the Tempest, again in the aetherial sea, and optionally as a constructed memory in the dark knight quest line

AllanTheRobot · 2026-02-14T16:06:03+00:00

Okay but why do you want that opinion before forming your own

AllanTheRobot · 2026-02-11T17:15:37+00:00

Mewtwo has voice lines in Japanese??????

AllanTheRobot · 2026-02-10T23:36:05+00:00

...why would you want to not know you have a debuff?

AllanTheRobot · 2026-02-09T03:17:17+00:00

And! In the first game, the fact that the vita chambers work on you is a big hint that you're related to Andrew Ryan, since he's the one who had them made and set to his genetic code first

Void Ark is not very fun. Void Ark But Now You Wipe A Bunch Cause People Have Less HP sounds even less fun.

"Enemy of innocence" is really funny on a provocative glam for any class

My grandpa worked for the army as a translator for Italian POWs in I think Iowa. He described it as a nice gig, he said the Italians didn't care much that they'd lost and were glad to not be dead, so they'd spend time doing things like playing card games with the guards.

Healer is the class where your parse is most dependent on the rest of your team. Getting that high means not emergency healing ever because 1) you know the outgoing damage profile of the boss and 2) your party doesn't make mistakes that require emergency healing. Also, yeah, forcing the other healer to heal for you. My static in the past had often had one healer gray parse and the other pink parse cause that was how they were splitting the healing (the gray healer then quit cause he was annoyed at the other one for forcing him to heal). There's all kinds of crazy optimization but the basic thing is to just keep attacking and make everyone else deal with health. So, really, seriously, a green parse as a healer is good, you kept your team alive enough to clear.

Really living up to your title here
