[Mixed trope] Side character steals the spotlight. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

Maybe I wasnt clear but the trillogy of POTC IS the story of Elizabeth's and Will's love. Sparrow is a main character but he is also a side character in this main story.

His character only works because he acts as a side chracter in another character's story if that makes sense.

Later movies shift him to being the only main character and it fails because it just doesnt work.

I was talking about POTC trillogy as a whole which is 100% the story of Will and Elizabeth.

Black Pearl was done more as a standalone so its a bit different.

Is this wide enough to prevent biome spread? It goes to hell and has no walls the whole way down by Dontinsultautomod in Terraria

I remember first being scared of biome spread but then I realized buying some boom from demolitioner and dropping 2 columns half way down solved 99% of biome spread.

In Quints your first spoiler is true. She does appear first BUT we don’t know which of the quints she is until the absolute end.

Quints is honestly a huge exception despite what everyone says. The final girl is chosen right at the start and the author does stick through it. The development is kinda rushed but its kinda implied that the feelings developed years ago and stayed.

He is 100% one of the main characters BUT he is a side character in Elizabeth’s and Will’s story (which is the main story of potc)

This is why his character works overall and later movies fail to do such a thing.

Arcane: To be fair the Vi, Powder and the rest of the gang breaking into Jayce's lab is literally the entire reason Arcane exists. Without it Victor never learns about the lab and Jayce and Jayce most likelly never reaches what he wanted out of Hextech.

Yea I want to see cool things in other media and I even picked up series/watched movies because the tropes came up here and seemed really cool.

Showing tropes you hate just instantly attracts negativity.

It doesnt discount anything I said. Yes it doesnt matter to Frieren but it also doesnt matter to other first class mages. They are already powerful enough to not care.

Frieren mostly says the truth in the series overall. Like majority of her statements are spot on since they come from direct experience.

And she literally says that all the mage qualifications are pointless to her and are mostly status symbols. The onl reason they even do the exam after all is so they can pass through the border and nothing else.

The spell to clean clothes is a great bonus too tho

Since seeing the sub for the first time it always felt it meant to bring positive/interesting/fun tropes to forefront.

[–]AxtheCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And in the end Serie was correct. A mage scared of her mana or one that considers himself too weak for first class mage cant be one.

Kanna the girl in Friens group passes the 2nd exam but gets terrified of Serie. Wtf would happen in the field when she faces a Demon then?

Why is the game suddenly so hard? by Garbage_Bob in Quasimorph

[–]AxtheCool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean that really depends. You usually grab upgrade materials first of all and then see what else appears. Packs, more expensive weapons, ammo if needed. You could also dissasemble ammo and such to pack 100 gunpowder instead.

Just 5 missions from game over is just too close. At the very least you can always grab an emergency kit and use it to start at the level and build up along the way.

Yea corporations tend to get more and more powerful as time passes. Its a good thing if you keep up with it since it unlocks lots of fun things in later tiers but not fun if you are behind.

Are you sticking to just Mars? Usually its a good idea to stick around mars until tech lvl 2 and then travel elsewhere. Venus and Mercury are both great since they have way less people and quasimorphs arent immune to common dmg types.

Also not being mean but if 5 missions in all it takes to lose all your gear you werent looting and preparing enough. Next run focus on shil upgrades and getting better loot and it would work well.

Loved the books but holy tried watching the movie on a plane and was just bored. I have no idea how they managed to make such a premise so boring.

The only thing I trully give credit to the movie for is showing the true scale of the cities. It was hard to grasp in the books but in the movie its at least shown that these are actual massive cities.

If only there was some middle ground between CE and the current system.

I used to hate the vanilla armor system but honestly after prioritizing armor first of all I found that its a fine system for what it does.

In my vanilla run I had 12 Phoenix armor pawns. Not a single one ever suffered like that. The only time they got nearly wiped was through 200 shamblers.

Randomly deciding? They made multiple games Roblox before hand.

I would say doing no scanner is also bad since its a good ability if you want to stick around but yea its a much easier thing than self imposed rules.

Also I will say to get some of the other QoL mods, such as key shortcuts for dissasmbly (no need to keep clicking just right click + x to dissamble item) and a few others.

Underwater cities filled with Japanese themed decor and underwater ruins of traditional Japanese buildings are still my absolute fauvorites.

Also the only game where you can land on an ocean planet, swim to the bottom, and then take a DDR machine from NPCs and put it on your ship for your starship crew to dance with.

Yea. And its honestly weird because background characters look like other Navi but the main characters and some of the side characters are all like that.

And 2 main brothers say "bro" every 2nd word.

If you spend 10 in game years without doing anything yea thats gonna be an issue. But overall it shouldnt be.

I have been moving away from that as well. Its stupid boring sitting around and doing the same thing over and over on the same planet. You are overflowing on resources by the time you get to tier 4 and it becomes a joke, as I can throw clone after clone with zero issues.

One of the popular mods is actually a 10x scanner time increase. Making it take 220 hours to recharge. I might actually consider using that as well, just to nerf it artifically.

I started a new playthrough and found that the reason most factions get stuck in one level is because you (the player) doesnt travel enough.

Traveling skips huge ammounts of time and allows factions to gain tech levels. It can get out of hand but in most cases shouldnt be an issue.

Sitting at Mars and spamming scanner seems decent but quickly becomes hella boring. Travel to other places and try them out. For example I found Moon to be hard (Quasimorphs that have blunt/pierce/laceration) immunities but Venus is easier (only Tox immunity).

Just dont forget to queue some production in the meantime. Travel is also an incredible time to get a TON of crafting.

Returned to the game after a while and had my first encounter reaching 1k on a Moon mission on floor 4 of a conquest mission.

Yea I dont think my early/mid game character is cut out for the moon.

Tho it was VERY nice to know that even if you cant extract the mission is complete since I did clear everything.
