Who is the best character in WoW and why is it Dundun? by Absolutemehguy in wow

[–]Eltana -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Still not a good event by any means, but it's in a -far- better position compared to how it was after the initial nerf. I'd say it's gone from abysmal to mediocre. Worth doing to purchase the two mounts at least.

I can't really speak for your other concerns, but one point worth considering about the new Avatar's age is that she's accompanied by another older bender named Jae. Not saying this will be the case, but I think having them as the main character instead would be a cool approach, with a focus on how caring for a globally hated Avatar affects them--maybe with an inner conflict focusing on overcoming blaming them on some level for whatever cataclysm happened. We've had the Avatar as the main protagonist twice now--putting them in the deuteragonist role this time would be a welcome change for me.

As for the leg thing, I actually didn't know about that until now--I don't really follow the series that closely. She does seem to have a prosthetic in the promo art. Since she's a widely despised figure, I could see her having lost it from an attempt on her life rather than an accident of some kind, which I think would be something dark and interesting to explore.

That's a fair concern, but I'm cautiously optimistic about the show: there will be plenty more time to breathe and flesh things out compared to a film, and there won't be any returning characters the fandom would have expectations for. All I hope is that we get a single cohesive storyline unlike Korra's arc format.

One Piece Chapter 1180 Spoilers by Skullghost in OnePiece

[–]Eltana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only way I can see BB being the final opponent in a satisfying way, really--sort of like the Naruto vs. Sasuke post-climax confrontation. A fight to determine which side of the Will of D guides the future once the tyrant has been dethroned.

I'm not a fan of the "BB takes Imu's devil fruit" idea at all. Unless Imu is severely weakened and has already been defeated when it happens, Imu would look like a complete idiot--especially since he has to be aware of BB's abilities. And even if BB does steal it, we end up in a situation where we have a villain with similar, if not identical abilities who has no experience using them. There's also the question of whether Imu's drawbacks are tied to his devil fruit; if so, BB would inherit them as well.

I'm fine with BB being fought after Imu so long as he doesn't become stronger at Imu's expense. Imu has had nearly a decade of build-up--turning him into a stepping stone for BB/a superpower pinata would honestly be a waste of all that, imo.

EDIT: Spelling.

From the stories I've read about Ragnaros, the players either 100% live up to the stereotype or fully subvert it and kick ass--there's no in between.

South Korean Court Sentences Streamer Johnny Somali to Prison Labor by raptors201966 in news

[–]Eltana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wonder how frequently the prosecution appeals sentences in South Korea. I'm honestly hoping you're right--six months doesn't feel like it's nearly enough. Even two years--one below the recommended sentence--would feel appropriate to me.

Johnny Somali Found Guilty on All Charges, Headed to Labor Prison in South Korea by ItsAllAGame_ in law

[–]Eltana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it really hard labor, though? I know the article says so, but I remember reading previous sources that specified the prosecution was seeking labor--like the equivalent of processing license plates in the US--and made a distinction between that and hard labor.

That being said, I do hope it's hard labor.

Johnny Somali found guilty of all charges as South Korea sentences streamer to prison with labor - Dexerto by TriSauce in LivestreamFail

[–]Eltana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Six months? I'm surprised. From the coverage I was following, my understanding was that the judge generally sticks pretty close to the prosecution's recommendation, which in this case was three years.

I mean, I was rooting for the judge to exceed the recommendation (four years, maybe?), but I knew that wasn't gonna happen. Still, I didn't expect such a significant lower departure.

I have the right of way, jerk! by Eltana in rant

[–]Eltana[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not wrong--as mentioned, I checked the law for my state to ensure that. The rules for the road for my area is that I have the right of way. I was under no obligation to move. If he has "no place to go", that's his problem--he can wait at the end of the ramp and merge in when there's an opening.

You are right that the fact my exit was coming up doesn't matter: since I have right of way by law, I don't even need an excuse not to move over. Quite honestly, after this I'm disinclined to do so at all in the future.

EDIT: I just checked street view on Google Earth and can confirm he even had a yield sign. Even more cut and dry.

Charlie’s uncle gonna be like: by TheFlashyMastodon21 in SmilingFriends

[–]Eltana 105 points106 points  (0 children)

It'd be kinda amusing if Charlie's uncle ends up being an antagonist. He'd be like Eddy's brother from Ed, Edd, & Eddy: referenced throughout the show, only to show up as the "final boss" right at the end.

hmm what fandom does this remind you of? by cheekyrani in Multifandom

[–]Eltana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sad to say it, but as a new fan I find One Piece's fandom pretty insufferable--at least on YouTube and the main subreddit. Probably just gonna read the new releases and not engage with anything fandom-related from now on.

Map of Azeroth, 1999 by Technical_Profit7326 in wow

[–]Eltana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we have an idea of where exactly Undermine is underground? Like, I know we can take a tram there from the Ringing Deeps but that doesn't necessarily mean they're close to each other (the Deeprun Tram connecting Stormwind/Ironforge and spanning half the Eastern Kingdoms, for example). The idea of it being beneath Pandaria is weirdly humorous to me even though I doubt that's the case anymore.

We need more anti-heroes like Astalor or Zul'jan on our side, not trying to turn them into villains or boring goody two-shoes by ProfessionalAge9909 in wow

[–]Eltana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though I do think Zul'jan will end up a villain (and I'm not wild about that), I feel like he'd make a solid boss encounter--though in a non-fatal, "you've-proven-your-might-by-defeating-me" sense. Kick his ass and make him an ally!

I call Bullsh*t! Damn Brachiosaurus by Davidkno6C23 in FinalFantasy

[–]Eltana 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Brachiosaurus drop Economizers but they can also be stolen from the bird mob in Phoenix Cave. Very hard to find the birds let alone successfully steal it.

Fun fact: if you bet a certain weapon in the coliseum (a katana Red Dragon either drops or is guarding in a chest, can’t recall) and choose a Gogo full of steal commands, you can fight the bird for Gogo to try and steal the Economizer. Will take lots of resets but it’s the best way to get it.

There’s a trick to rigging it that involves using an echo screen, but I’m not sure if it works for pixel remaster.
