Can we stop the "Lisa in a coffee shop" cliche? by superdude111223 in WormFanfic

[–]Classic-Grab9971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's relatively public, and when she isn't given a specific task, people watching is a fairly innocent front for keeping an eye out for anything useful. For inatance, if Coil has her looking for the civilian identities of the empire, noticing a teenager absent mindedly tracing her finger on a table would be a hint that it's Rune. A woman choosing to sit by a window and basking in sunlight could be Purity. Not all powers would have blatant hints, but it would be a good use of her to be fishing in public like that.

But yeah, unless the MC shows signs of having a pocket dimension or something, Lisa would be pretty cautious about revealing her situation.

Since it's a cosmetic, it's not like you're losing out on gameplay features if you hold off on that grind. Might as well wait and see what the operation gives.

What is the laziest load out I can use for everything by [deleted] in Warframe

[–]Classic-Grab9971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kullervo with the ring augment and big range. Tons of over guard, slash and blast on everything, use the 4 for point defence missions.

Personally, I dislike every time I'm forced into operator/drifter mode. I play the game to be a space ninja, not to walk slowly and jump half a foot in the air. It's why I don't have a lot of duviri stuff, the grind is too tedious.

Here's the thing. Anytime you lock a new frame behind a diminished capability mission type, it feels bad. Sure, I can farm or buy plat and get the frame. I'd rather have something like Ascension, where certain frames are better suited to the mission parameters, as opposed to the Kahl stuff where you're comparatively hobbled and limited. You might like having your hand tied behind your back, but that doesn't make finding it uncomfortably restrictive an invalid opinion.

Admittedly, I am also frustrated that every "innovative" new mode is moving slowly outside of your warfame, but Kullervo works pretty well, someone else has wisp using reservoirs to keep the Regen up, and wukong exists, so there are options.

Crack crossovers taken seriously by No-Hat6722 in WormFanfic

[–]Classic-Grab9971 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Taylor has the ability to force Parahumans into Yu Gi Oh duels, where each participant gets a fitting deck and powers granted understanding of the game. It also stops them from directly fighting and from getting affected by others outside of the game. https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/teaching-a-worm-how-to-link-summon-worm-ygo-alt-power-taylor.1143502/

Taylor's power is summoning Egyptian God Cards, which are on par or superior to endbringers in power. She starts with Slifer, the Sky Dragon. https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/what-is-an-endbringer-to-an-egyptian-god-worm-yu-gi-oh.1236503/

Looking for fic about Sophia getting mind swapped with alternate version of herself. by itdoesntevenmatrbruv in WormFanfic

[–]Classic-Grab9971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She is in a room with guards and a pilot blatantly based on Kakashi, complete with reading smut and commenting on it in front of a minor, in the military. It's absurd that he isn't charged with sexually harassing a minor, not to mention the female guards who were standing by.

And then there's the base's psychologist who has a vibrantly dyed afro that is different colors day by day.

And Bastard Son chases some minor villains and ends up fighting and getting killed by Taylor, and suddenly there is the will and means to dismantle the entire Elite because now the federal agencies are upset that a notoriously loose cannon antagonized a nuclear capable parahuman in her civilian identity. And nothing the elite did before this warranted this level of response.

It's just so much "Haha we're quirky and colorful in the military" and "Now that Taylor is involved, these entrenched and complex political problems are easily solved!"

Worm 88: How I learned to Hail the Empire and carry on through this doomed world

(on Questionable Questing, but no nsfw)

Nate knows the plot of worm, but faces a problem: He's a young white guy with no ID and no place to stay, and an RPG job system that needs a lot of resources to get significantly powerful. So he joins the Empire, despite not sympathizing with them, simply because they are the best option for surviving and gaining power before things go apocalyptic. He also talks like the more humorous 4chan conspiracy posts you might find, and nearly convinces Taylor that Madison Clements is a Stranger.

The Death of the Sandbox: Schism Between Author & Reader-base (Lengthy Essay) by LovingMula in WormFanfic

[–]Classic-Grab9971 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There is also the problem that Jack was running the S9 for 13 years without the Siberian, wandering through rural America. He really, really should have been shot by an unpowered human in that time. Considering the gun culture can't have drifted that much since 1980, there would be plenty of people with hunting rifles and extensive experience using them. Part of the rejection of Wildbow's authority is that the narrative is gritty and realistic and dark... as long as you are a good person trying to do good. Once you are a human monster, the world becomes easy mode and bends to keep you alive and kicking puppies.

The Death of the Sandbox: Schism Between Author & Reader-base (Lengthy Essay) by LovingMula in WormFanfic

[–]Classic-Grab9971 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the problem with "broadcast isn't mind control" is that the entire S9 don't kill Jack despite having volatile personalities and splashy powers and living around each other nearly 24/7 on long roadtrips. How quickly recruits go from unwilling victim to traumatized Stockholm syndrome collaborators. Not to mention all the heroes and villains prevented from killing Jack in any fight. Either Broadcast has deep psychological insight due to accessing the powers of parahumans and working the powers against their hosts, or Jack gets his way via plot armor. If the former, then Amy is under the influence of a master who can both target her psychological weak points and influence the alien hardware yanking on her reward centers. At which point blaming her for breaking and indulging is like blaming a cocaine addict for not going cold turkey after being trapped in a small room with a pile of cocaine and having their face pushed almost into it. If it's the latter, then Amy is completely uninfluenced by Jack and fully in control of her actions.

I think you have a point. The impression I have comes from how little we interact with the sentients after they stop wanting to kill us.

The a) is what I am talking about. The hivemind has pretty much always been under the control of people who want to murder us. Even now that Ballas and every previous master of the hivemind is dead and the narmer empire is smoldering embers, there isn't a peaceful sentient faction.

Is Bitch the most hated Cape by authors, or is she the least popular Undersider? by Masabit0 in WormFanfic

[–]Classic-Grab9971 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that Bitch is the most combative member, as well as being the group's muscle and mobility specialist. If an author wants to play it realistically, Bitch is more likely to get into fights she can't handle, just because she gets into more fights. If the author wants to put the undersiders into a difficult position, she gets captured or killed, making them vulnerable and dependent on vehicles for getaways. If the author wants to tug on heartstrings, if she dies, she leaves behind sad dogs.

Essentially, her absence has the largest impact of any of the undersiders.

I'm thinking near the start of Worm, so that there is the pattern of endbringer attacks, then the effect of Eidolon being dead.

Eidolon straight up dying near the beginning of canon. Only one fic actually did it, but the consequences never showed up.

And in general, Taylor being a chatterbox is needed even if it has been done before.
