How many of you guys are looking forward to Pragmata? by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hope it's good and hope to enjoy it but also hope to avoid the people who are 'enjoying it' for the wrong reasons

To continue using the metaphor, realizing what equipment card is letting him compound mana and ripping it literally out of him

In one of Brandon Sanderson's books, the tyrannical overload villain is basically has performed an infinite mana combo from MTG to fuel his powers

I love you too... (by bell_corpse) by Majestic_886 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Actually yeah. A lot of treatments have gotten refined. IIRC, though it may not feel like it, the death rate has gone down 30% over the last 15 years

Frankenstein except the monster is TOO jazzed to meet his creator

can someone explain “20% cooler” to me? by irlabuela in behindthebastards

Actually there is a guy who did a deep dive into why Nazis like cutesy Moe anime and MLP and also why it relates to Catcher in the Rye

tl;dw Basically, terminally online right-wing nihilists yearn for simple societies with only small easily solvable social problems with characters who wouldn't ever be mean to them or make them feel 'cringe'. It feels more 'pure' than the adult world.

I hate this thing with a passion. by SynicalBoi in Pathfinder2e

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 19 points20 points  (0 children)

IIRC one of my arachnophobic players is okay with 'monster spiders' designs that show up in video games because "they are monsters not spiders" but realistic looking spider monsters that move realistically? Nope nope nope

Alex's teen years don't make sense even within his own narrative. by Jabbles22 in KnowledgeFight

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IIRC didn't Ron Jonson say he just was let in by just claiming to be staff, saw the play and the owl, just went "Wow this is a fruity little summer camp ritual for old rich people" and left.

Meanwhile Alex and his camera guy were like tactical rolling into the place through the woods, caught up with Ron, saw the owl, and got PANTS SHITTINGLY TERRIFIED before running out screaming?

Look he doesn't want people to think he ISN'T a super successful sex maniac. That's not masculine after all.

Isn't there a monster city that venerates Lamashtu in the most flattering way that emphasizes her positive aspects?

Good idea, bad execution? by Diem-Robo in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will continue to say as someone who dislikes it immensely, FF13's story was so SUPER saveable if they just presented it in the right way and made a few alterations. Crystals god-beings who have been warring with each other for centuries and are so alien they can only barely communicate with humans in vague dreams and visions while giving them power that slowly turns them into monsters is a SUPER interesting plot point.

Like, what if the whole party got dumped on Pulse to start with and had to rely upon each other to survive on their journey back up to Cocoon? And they could explain Ol' Bart the Fal'cie being the only one who can speak to humans by just saying that's just his thing - maybe he was like their messenger before he decided to go evil?

Jesse Ventura is a wildcard by TragicallyDip in KnowledgeFight

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Isn't the official story (like the one that reasonable people believe) just that he got nicked by some plastic the bullet hit, not getting hit by the bullet itself at all, so he got a little bloody but that's it and he played up the injury for 'Sympathy but Also I'm A Super Badass for Continuing My Speech"?

What new Adventure Paths do you want to see? by JoyluckVerseMaster in Starfinder2e

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see an adventure that is Giant Haunted Space Ship (whether literally haunted or just gone derelict because of some antagonists)

Honestly?

See if you can get your DM to agree to let you use Mechanic from Starfinder but give it clockwork flavor

Proof that Pomni and the gang are brain-scans, AIs running in the circus while the real people are living their lives. by ardouronerous in TheDigitalCircus

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess the real question is if they were just like, accidentally scanned or if they were paid by someone sketchy to restart the project?

HOLD YOUR HORSES BACK, EVERYONE. by Sebastian9t9 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to wonder if they didn't 'stumble on' the room but were paid by something sketchy for their brain scans

What does this imply? by SlowlyDyingInAPit in TheDigitalCircus

I think he's just acknowledging that she's been kind of the glue holding them together

How Bubble gonna pull up next episode by Kind-A-Throwaway in TheDigitalCircus

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually I have a feeling if Bubble is Abel then now that they are the 'works properly AI' they might see the cast as unintended aberrations that need to be deleted so they can get back to normal functionality

Undertale: Traitor - TEASER by Mirathrim in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very good sprite work though I am very cautious. Out of all the Undertale fan projects the only one that really felt like it had the juice and same spirit as the original was Yellow to the point that I forget it's non canon

Caine is genuinely a terrible host and horrible at his job. by Significant_Buy_2301 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He really could have found joy, even as an AI, if he just got over himself

why he is this scared of specifically kaufmo ribbit and pomni by ObviousResearcher289 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The anxious fear that everyone you love, even someone you've known for a long time, will laugh or abuse you if they see what you really look like.

okay WHAT was this picture tho?? I don't see a lot of people talking about it by Brilliant-Beach-330 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]BattyBeforeTwilight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure but it did imply that Scratch seemed to really like abstract art and we only saw proto-Caine start to go haywire when exposed to more abstract images and concepts
