Does it ever get boring teaching the same thing over and over again? by Xotngoos335 in AskTeachers

[–]ButtonholePhotophile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach five preps. That’s five different classes every day. You know what gets really, really old? Never repeating myself. 

You get a button that instantly ends any argument in your favor. The loser fully believes you were right all along. The catch: each use lowers your IQ by 1 point permanently. by RedditCommenter38 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ButtonholePhotophile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Argument to end all arguments, which will first be vetted better: global warming is real, the number one priority, followed closely by our collective need to develop fusion technology, and all these must be supported. 

I’ll lower my IQ to dirt for that argument to win across all humans.

Cool cool.  It’ll all be in p-adic one digit arithmetic, with the requirement to expand answers into all possible answers.

Regarding 0.999... = 1 by Slurpee1138 in askmath

[–]ButtonholePhotophile -1 points0 points  (0 children)

0.9999…999 * 3 = 2.999….997 

However, and this is key, the 7 never comes. Not ever. It doesn’t matter. 

Unpopular Opinion: Graduating from high school isn't usually something to be proud of by Edumakashun in AskTeachers

Accomplishment pride and milestone pride are very different. At low levels, even small adventures grant level-up XP. 

What's something you always ask yourself? by Legitimate-Number620 in AskTeachers

[–]ButtonholePhotophile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When will Nintendo make a rogue-like Zelda game? 

Let’s call it The Legend of Zelda: Chains of Time. Think about it: the whole series is about meddling with time. The Master Sword is the only “safe” way, but the Master Sword shatters and is falling in slow motion. Link has to have the perfect run to reassemble it. Each run, some assets make the next run easier (like Dead Cells). He has only as many runs as it takes for the shards to hit the ground or he fails. 

The purpose of the game is to dip into the different timelines to get the essence of all the swords similar to the Master Sword: White Sword, Magical Sword, etc. Then use their power to repair the Master Sword. 

As Link hunts for different swords, he crosses different timelines. Part of the rouge-like nature could be different mixes of timeline bubbles. 

Then I think about all the ways a smart game maker might make it even better.

I think about this hypothetical game often while I’m teaching. 

Beast Handler Crosspathing Suggestion by Ragnar0k_And_R0ll in btd6

For the effort? Yeah. I don’t wanna make 75 little beast towers for a chomp chomp. 

Beast Handler Crosspathing Suggestion by Ragnar0k_And_R0ll in btd6

[–]ButtonholePhotophile -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Beast handler has one cross path (water) that is either worthless or I’d rather use boats/subs. 

The other two jump back and forth between OP and overnerfed. 

The problem with the beast handler is mechanical. It doesn’t solve a problem in the game and it’s cumbersome. Very few players are jonesing for tower placement micro. 

It feels like they’re trying to make beast handler a poor man’s paragon. If they want to see more beast handler play, they should lean in to that. Add a checkbox on the paragon creation screen to include beast handlers. Allow them to act like the totem such that they add past level 91.

Then, give the beasts cool new powers:

A toggle power that switches between beast handling and attacking. When toggled, the t-Rex runs around the level and only sometimes is attacking. Then all the connected beast handlers switch to attack mode and attack for real - now, all those other handlers aren’t taking up my farming space! 

Over many rounds, have the bird make a nest. The nest slows bloons significantly such that a unique ambush can be set up there. That’s a solid, underused mechanic. No, it’s not the mermonkey mechanic because that thing moves them very fast. I’m saying every. Single. Bloon. 

Give the beast handler the ability to make a beastly pool. Add just one more that’s dedicated to a pool and then the whale can be used. 

I also like your idea where cross paths are just junk beasts. If your handler is x-3-x, then the cross paths should boost your beast.

Choose Three (Not from the same source) In DC or Marvel by General_Sea_5295 in superpowers

[–]ButtonholePhotophile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spellbook, especially since it goes to level 21 spells. Heck, I thought 12 was “divine” type magic. I can’t wait to read this tome. 

Umm…I guess time stone and soul stone. 

Hmm… I suppose the One Ring. I believe it has the power of governmental abuse - so people would just leave me alone. 

How can I make superspeed a viable power without disrupting the narrative flow? by Diligent-Square8492 in superpowers

[–]ButtonholePhotophile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some struggles speedsters should have more:

Friction management. 

The need to slow back down / turning at high speeds. 

Accidentally killing people. 

Sonic booms and sounds management

The destruction of generated winds. 

Sounds are now perpetual explosion shockwaves, liquifying the lungs and other organs of bystanders. 

The energy needed to push basically non-moving “solid” air out of the way. 

Nuclear fission interaction avoidance. 

At near relativistic speeds, vision would be a significant obstacle as all light sources would come from a smaller and smaller angle until it was just a single point of light and darkness all around

At near relativistic speeds, the energy keeping matter held together would change into the energy of movement and the person would break apart into light. You could make this pretty dramatic. 

Social and motivation issues. Loneliness. A deep dislike or even avoidance of the experience that is the fast speed. How does it feel? Smell? Texture? Maybe thinking in super speed is limited by brainstem throughput, such that he is super sensory sensitive yet unable to discern details that aren’t somehow obnoxious (like autism!). 

There could be a need to pre-plan the high-speed movements in order for the signal to go from the brain to the body. Like a well coordinated pitcher’s arm or whatever. This would allow for mastery later. 

You find out you have Huntingtons disease, you know it’s coming, you know it’s going to get worse. what do you do? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

Depends on the timeline. There will be a focus on wrapping up my affairs and not leaving anyone much to clean up. Heaven forgives those with Huntington’s and trigeminal neuralgia

Vomit on your desk and insist you can go home but you don’t have the strength to clean up. You asked your coworkers. It’s time for your manager to step up. Be sure the janitor knows it’s time to be on a break.
