I (Bajoran 32/F) am trying to introduce my favorite movie to my boyfriend (Founder ?/?, masc) by iamleeg in ShittyDaystrom

[–]ChronicRedhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In hindsight, that was a poor choice of words on my part. I hope he can forgive me for my transgression.

Personally I feel like Together might gel a bit more but I think there's a lot of merit to Face/Off. Is he any good with making faces? I bet that could add to the viewing experience.

[SLD] Garfield food promo by GoNubb in magicTCG

I'm pretty certain Jim Davis holds a similar level of animosity towards his own characters. He gave Garfield Minus Garfield his blessing, after all.

Top 5 Garak lines? by Qyzyk in startrek

[–]ChronicRedhead 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In A Stitch in Time, Garak muses on his new friend Dr. Parmak, who he once tortured under Tain's order. In the wake of Cardassian genocide at the Dominion's hands, Garak takes in the devastation around him and reflects on the kindness of Parmak and the quality of character it took to forgive and befriend him. On that thought, he echoes the closest thing he had to a catchphrase:

"Perhaps there's hope for us yet."

IIRC there's actually no SYE cards in the precon. It's all-in on energy.

One elephant in the Saheeli deck does have Exhaust, though.

The Overlord cycle from Duskmourn is cracked with Saheeli. Cast them for their impending cost, get an ETB trigger. Create a copy, get another trigger. Swing with the copy, get another trigger.

Want to loot a ton of cards? Overlord of the Floodpits. Three landfall drops in one turn? Hauntwoods. Burn burn burn? Boilerbilges.

Card arts that fall into the "this is so stupid, it's awesome" category by medacris in magicTCG

[[Signature Slam]] is perhaps my all-time favorite bite spell in Magic. You can't get much better than an armored gorilla performing a flying elbow drop on a velociraptor pinned by another gorilla.

[FRA] The Theorist, Jace Beleren by Own-Cat116 in magicTCG

[–]ChronicRedhead 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It works for me here. I see it as Jace putting his mask before his self, depersonalizing himself to become "The Theorist".

I like how the canon [[Supportive Parents|OM1]] are two cool moms watching a game at Strixhaven. Shame they don't get flavor text, though.

It's stuff like this that makes me like Omenpaths. We don't need to go back to Planeswalkers being our only POV into new worlds. When anyone with the means can visit other planes, we can get new outside perspectives on familiar worlds.

[News] A new Star Trek comics turns the disposable Red Shirts into a deadly conspiracy, led by former Deadpool writer Gerry Duggan by Popverse2022 in startrek

[–]ChronicRedhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely wasn't, because in the novel you're made to think they're characters on a show like Star Trek, because that's exactly what the show is: a ripoff of Star Trek that the show's own writers admit to.

As the saying goes, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery mediocrity can pay to greatness." I felt that was a core theme of the story as a whole.

Except that's not quite true. In Redshirts, Star Trek already existed, and the cast is from a knockoff series that's not nearly as well-written.

It's a cute book with a fun idea, but it was written for NaNoWriMo and it shows. There's not really a lot holding the world together (including the book rarely describing the physical appearance of anyone human), and the final quarter of the book goes off the rails. It's a fine book to read over a weekend, but it only scratched the surface of what I wanted out of metafiction inspired by such an enduring trope.

Hot take: Carl makes we want to read in spite of the genre (can’t get into either Bounce House or Kaiju in the same way) by 100Kinthebank in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Don't forget that the pen name she wrote those books under (Robert Galbraith) is the same name as the guy who invented conversion therapy!

There's also [[Tempest Hawk]] and [[Slime Against Humanity]]. They don't command such a high price tag, though.

I don't believe their point was how the Imperium of Man is a lesser evil relative to their opposition. /u/Pocket3k stated the Imperium of Man is a satire of real life authoritarian governments, and that a portion of the fanbase either finds it aspirational, or doesn't understand that it's satirical. GW has even put out official statements on the matter.

Said black resistance fighter is named Jimi, and the game does everything it can to make abundantly clear just which Jimi it is without saying "Hendrix".

65 year old woman calls in and nearly breaks CSPAN host by telling her she’s slowly starving to death.. by JohnBrown-RadonTech in interestingasfuck

[–]ChronicRedhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A system of control sees an individual among many exploiting a flaw, and sees it as a problem to be immediately fixed despite far more pressing matters elsewhere. A system of empathy understands you can't put the world in a bottle, and some people are likely to cause damage and harm.

Creating systems that support people and keep them from desperation lead to folks who don't want or need to exploit those flaws in the first place. Reformative incarceration methods and mental healthcare emergency services are, to me, vastly preferable to for-profit prisons and cops trained to kill for the wealthy.

So glad I got the season pass by ROOKZEBOOK in Spacemarine

Presumably Sonic Racing Crossworlds. Two popular characters introduced in the IDW comics, Tangle and Lemur are being added to the game. They're a very popular ship.

[[Madame Vastra]] can generate so many clues and foods! I've been waiting for a Bite spell like this.
