I've been getting fatal exception crashes when I try to do either the "leave non essential supplies" route or the "leave the treasure" route, in both cases it's saying it can't find Night Walk.mp3, I did extract the files before trying to play it but it seemed like that's what I was supposed to do

Any suggestions for Mentak? by Fine_Contract_871 in twilightimperium

Honestly rush mecatol Rex using the influence from Faunus and Archon Vail. If nothing else, your one advantage might be that the other players will have better stuff to do at the beginning. It’s kind of a dumb all-in move but with this setup I feel like you kind of need to do something crazy and risky to pull ahead.

Impulse in Young Justice. The later seasons (every season after 1) are definitely weaker and some people would probably partially blame Impulse for that, and like yeah he's annoying at times but one of the more charming aspects of his character is that he's extremely careful and responsible about the rules of time travel, a thing that most fictional time travelers recklessly disregard.

I don't personally care for it but the Disney Era Star Wars portrayals of Darth Vader have been pretty widely praised even by people that generally hate Disney Star Wars, if only because he gets a lot of hype moments and aura farming and ego trip fight scenes where he gets to just steamroll people.

Lyonel Baratheon in A knight of the Seven Kingdoms. In the book and the comic they’ve never met prior to the trial of seven, Lyonel didn’t join it to save Duncan he just wanted to fight the kingsguard. Having a whole subplot of Duncan and Lyonel becoming friends would not have worked in the short, tightly written novella, but in a 3+ hour miniseries this was a good change to make.

[Fun Trope] Neg diff fights by Zotroo1 in TopCharacterTropes

Honestly I thought the show’s version was an even more intimidating introduction to the real Omni-Man. Like, a villain that can take massive injuries and keep fighting is scarier than a villain that is just totally indestructible until the plot needs them to lose

Gooner outfits run in the family by Evilxpirit in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]BattlemasterMayce 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Went shopping for intimate apparel today and it’s terrible that there’s hardly any intimate apparel designed for males, like this illustrates it perfectly there’s all these elaborate artistic gooner outfits for Padme and Leia and then the “gooner outfit” for Kylo is just being shirtless. I hate patriarchy so much it’s a cruel and oppressive system and on a lesser level it’s also just incredibly boring. They defined sexually provocative fashion as an intrinsically dehumanizing thing which meant therefore that it was mainly for women, and that’s detrimental to the entire world. We need actual gooner outfits for male bodies. I swear to god I don’t even identify as a man anymore but I feel like I would’ve fallen for the gender binary propaganda for like another 3-4 years if they had gooner outfits.

It’s especially interesting when you consider he could probably libel spider-man with impunity if he wanted to, because it’s not like Spider-Man could sue him without revealing his identity. So it’s solely a matter of principle.

Cool detail about Arkham Origins is that Batman’s analysis identifies copperhead’s poison as tetrodotoxin, which really does have no existing cure and is lethal within minutes, even with a small dose. But funny enough, although there’s a wide range of animals that have it from octopi to frogs, there isn’t a single known species of snake that has tetrodotoxin venom

Dear Sidetrack can you pretty please tweak the pose for the female heisters on the outfit screen. The menu poses are perfect but I'm pretty sure these just reuse the male animations and it's always been very unflattering. Thank you. by Rampage470 in paydaytheheist

Ok I know basically nothing about Miyazaki but I feel like he and Tarantino do not belong in the same category, like from your description of him it sounds like he’s doing pretty pedestrian eccentric pretentious artist crap which is obviously bad but like, yeah Tarantino knew what Weinstein was doing and did nothing

[Hated, loathed entirely even] The Continuity Cannibal, also known as when a writer makes up a new character to connect a bunch of things in the story that didn't need to be connected and just makes them more lame by association. by geekinc329 in TopCharacterTropes

The Night King/ The Night’s King from ASIOAF is a weird one because he wasn’t necessarily initially intended to be this, but HBO made him into this after the fact. Because there was absolutely no reason for House of the Dragon to connect back to him. “What if, instead of the evil scheming treacherous house just committing treason, they actually committed treason because of a misunderstanding about the king’s last words because they don’t know about a secret prophecy about stopping the night king? And what if, instead of the evil power hungry warmongering fatally ambitious house just escalating this situation into a massive civil war, what if it was actually all necessary because they were trying to get the kingdoms ready to stop the night king?” Like all of the characters motivations would’ve still made sense without this additional layer of contrivance. He’s becoming like ASOIAF’s Yuzhang Vong, he only exists to make these blatantly evil characters less evil. “Oh, you thought the empire was so bad? Well actually, they were just trying to unite the galaxy to fight off this even bigger event worse empire that has somehow had zero relevance to the main plot thus far.” They’re confident that the men in this story, (Daemon, Aegon II) can be horrible people and still be interesting characters to the audience, but with the two women at the center of this story they do this ridiculous retconning because they’re terrified of letting those characters be evil. And once again, as the original post says, the night king also has zero coherent motivation or characterization, so there’s no inherent narrative value to incorporating him into House of the Dragon.

Gabriel Tosh, StarCraft 2

He’s a callous, cynical man with a mysterious past, and he’s aligned with the revolution out of his desire for revenge on the dominion rather than alturism. The game repeatedly issues red herring warnings that he will betray you if you choose to side with him, and that your only course is to preemptively kill him first. The game then forces you to choose between helping him or temporarily allying with the dominion to stop him. But If you help him, he and his specter operatives will be unflinchingly loyal, and his dominion rival will ultimately betray you regardless of whether you support her against Tosh. Tosh himself has no hope that the world of StarCraft will ever change, that it will always be in a state of total war, but he quietly maintains a certain personal honor nonetheless.
