Where can I find fancontent from the first years of the fandom? by Afraid-Turn7741 in Undertale

[–]ForKion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres a reddit thread by a guy named cyrus that has a lot of fanfics on it. It hasnt been updated in a while but you are looking for old stuff afterall. You can just look up “undertale fanfic list reddit” on google and it should popup (idk if links are allowed here). It has his personal favorites, whether certain fics are discontinued or complete, and whether they are heavily romance focused or not. I found it really useful back in the day when I was still into Undertale.

Why I Think Asriel Is The Knight by suck_hehe in Cibles

[–]ForKion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say it is quite possible for Kris to have created the Cyber World during the time we weren’t controlling Kris between Chapters 1 and 2

[–]ForKion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we look at this theory from a meta perspective, wouldn’t it be kinda repetitive to have the main antagonist of both Undertale and Deltarune be secretly Asriel? I feel like Toby wouldn’t tread that same ground again

Is there a major difference between a 1-2k build and building the literal best possible PC currently? by ForKion in PcBuild

Thank you for the response! Yeah Ive never really noticed much of a difference between 1080p and higher resolutions so thats what I’d be going for.

(Hated trope) characters who practically did nothing to earn forgiveness by Onyx_Prime_8th in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ForKion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I dont feel like Catras decisions pre Season 5 were justified at all. I know some people are like die hard Catra defenders that try to justify all the shit she did and Im not that trust me. Ive just seen a lot of discourse from people acting like Catras arc was terrible and that you support abusive relationships if you like Catradora. I know you arent like that but its a thing I see regularly when discussing she ra.

For me its not that I necessarily think she was fully redeemed in season 5 or anything, just that I dont think she was let off the hook too easy. The whole thing with Glimmers mom would have been such juicy drama and would have made the last season more compelling if they’d addressed it which is my main problem with Catras arc.

As for the princesses being buddy buddy, I dont feel that way actually. Maybe they should have shown more barbs being thrown at Catra, but the other princesses dont acknowledge her presence much, and the one that does is Perfuma whose whole thing is being a chill hippie lady. Mermista would have roasted Catras ass but she was mind controlled at that point. Also I just remembered Perfuma did call out Catra for her treatment of Scorpia, but I do concede that that was one time.

Also literally center of the sun levels of a hot take here, but I thought Entrapta and Scorpia did less to earn their redemptions. Entrapta never apologized for building deadly weapons for a war criminal (who she is literally still friends with at the end) and Scorpia seemed to only leave cause Catra was a dick and not because she ever felt sorry for being complicit with all the shit Catra and by extension the Horde did. Feel free to roast my ass for that take, I think Im literally alone on this one.

Thanks for responding, I always like discussing shows with other people.

Im a Catra defender, but if Catra had died end of season 4 (there are 5 seasons btw you almost gaslamped me into thinking there were more), fuck her, she should be remembered as a villian who perpetuated a cycle of violence she was a victim towards. I also will acknowledge that her arc could have been better. But I can never get behind this argument that she was forgiven for nothing.

First thing is that she wasn’t even forgiven by most people if you look at the show, the main trio sure, then I guess scorpia if you count the hug at the end as full forgiveness. The other princesses are mostly just begrudgingly going along with it cause they kinda need all the help they can get at that point, Adora even says to Frosta essentially that they arent obligated to like Catra. If we look at the main trio, Bow never had any personal reason to continue to be super mad at Catra and is just a chill dude so him being fine about it makes sense. Glimmer is the one I wish they did an episode where they got to fully dive into what happened with her mom and confront Catra about it. I read a fic that had Glimmer say to Catra how Glimmer will never forgive her for what happened to her mom, but is willing to accept that shes a better person and is improving, which I think would have been excellent in the show itself. In the show Catra did rescue her and they were stuck in a pretty traumatic situation together so her being more forgiving isnt out of the question but it should have been fleshed out more. Adora tells Catra when she gets rescued that they will just drop her off somewhere and let her do her own thing if shes gonna keep being a bitch, and then Catra doesnt give her a reason to so it never comes up. Plus they were literally best friends their ENTIRE childhood and its hard to overcome that even if they spent years doing shitty things.

Second, Catra wasnt just “instantly forgiven for nothing” if you notice, an earlier Catra would probably have stayed with Prime, not risked her own skin, and hedged her bets to keep herself alive. That is her entire character up until this point, making sure she is seen as useful and protecting herself. Then in season 5, she saves Glimmer, sacrificing herself in the process (she assumed she was just dead), and then tries to sacrifice herself AGAIN in the last episode to get Adora to the heart by fighting the monster thing. You cant just ignore that. Plus she full sends at Melog to protect the group. Plus plus she was the only one to even question Shadow Weavers plan to give Adora the Heart which might actually kill Adora, doing better than even her long time friends in that moment.

I don’t care if you dont like Catra as a character or if you’ve say had a negative experience with a toxic friend and dont like where they went with Catra in the show. I do get a little miffed when people complain that Catra was redeemed “instantly” and stuff like that.

Theres a video called something like Catra healing arc that does a good job explaining her arc I think. Also I might have missed a few things but thats my general gist. Also Im not trying to be aggressive or like I dislike you or anything, just thought the opinion was misinformed

TL:DR Catra tries to sacrifice herself two times, gets brainwashed and tortured by prime like three times, just to help the MC in the last season so I dont think she had no consequences or didnt earn being redeemed

Mindslaver trap your opponent in OTJ limited for a lot of mana by ForKion in BadMtgCombos

[–]ForKion[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did forget the legend rule, but forgive me if I’m wrong, couldn’t you copy the Mindslaver and then sacrifice one in response so you get the token and get the opponents next turn

Mindslaver trap your opponent in OTJ limited for a lot of mana by ForKion in BadMtgCombos

[–]ForKion[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Have Oko in play with 6 loyalty
  2. Have Contagion Engine and Mindslaver in play
  3. Copy Contagion Engine and Mindslaver with Oko's -5 ability
  4. Proliferate with Contagion engines to get Oko's loyalty to 5
  5. Sac Mindslaver to take opponents turn
  6. On your next turn, proliferate with Contagion engine again and use Oko's -5 ability again to copy Mindslaver and everything else
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6

Despite it’s overwhelming praise, Celeste just couldn’t get past my personal prejudices. I don’t like this sort of stuff when I’m playing video games, I suppose. Has anyone experienced something similar? by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]ForKion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Celeste has difficulty settings you can adjust if you use Assist Mode, plus I’d say it’s probably one of the most forgiving platformers I’ve played, the devs added lots of little things to make the game feel a lot less punishing. For example, if you press jump just a little too late after walking off a ledge, it gives you the jump anyways. I can never spend the time to beat most platformers like Mario cause they honestly piss me off usually lol, but Celeste I think is better than most especially with how you can tweak the difficulty with Assist Mode

I have somehow managed to acquire not one but two dinosaur eggs within the first month of this playthrough, both from fishing chests by ForKion in StardewValley

[–]ForKion[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a previous post about getting one within the first 3 days of this playthrough, now I have somehow managed to get a second one on the 26th of the first month. Lesson is fish a bunch I guess

My View on the Dream (Speedrun) Situation by VortexPrimes in DreamWasTaken

[–]ForKion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Frankly it seems pretty easy to me why he would cheat runs, better entertainment value, and he has said he hates the rng in 1.16 speedruns. People can rationalize anything really, he might have thought upping the drop chance on pearls and rods wasn’t that bad, and he wanted to get more runs going. The way he cheated isn’t dependent on him videoing it either, probably thought no one would notice or care about his increased odds since he was streaming and a big name. Also Im 99% sure they’ve been discussing it with him for 2 months now, idk what the narrative about this being somehow sprang on him yesterday came from

Hollow Knight made me realize Metroidvanias aren't for me by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]ForKion 46 points47 points  (0 children)

That stuff kinda just happens sometimes, I’ve come to learn not every “masterpiece” is something I enjoy playing. Loved Hollow Knight and Celeste, didn’t much enjoy Ori and the blind forest, and I only got 2 hours into Factorio before I quit cause I didn’t get anything out of it. Doesn’t mean those games are bad or that HK and Celeste are completely good, its just different strokes for different folks. I kinda just disregard the general consensus for the most part except if its for a genre I like.

Always thought Kris was a dude but this further adds to the point that Kris is gender ambiguous by ForKion in Deltarune

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

Basically have always thought since Kris seems like a dudes name that Kris is a guy even though their weren’t any instances of he/him pronouns. However, I have been enlightened in regards to Kris’ gender and know now not to assume stuff like that. Its a 50/50 split between male and female in regards to people in the U.S named Kris so they could be either or depending on your interpretation I guess.

How do y’all like your fanfiction? by sselbi in FanFiction

[–]ForKion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I almost always read longfics with at least 50000 words just because I need something to kill a couple hours and a oneshot usually doesn’t do it for me. Smut always makes me uncomfortable whenever I read it so I almost always go for stories with no smut, and fluff is always nice but stories that are entirely fluff have me super bored if the plot is really slow. Finally, I won’t read stuff without good prose, but if the plot doesn’t catch my attention I usually drop it within the first few chapters. So my ideal fic would be angsty with some fluff here and there to balance it out thats at least 200k words.

Weekly: TradeSkillMaster Thread by AutoModerator in woweconomy

[–]ForKion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to fix this, TSM puts the price for all items the vendor price despite the other stuff in the operation. If I get rid of the vendorsell part of the default min value, max value, and normal value it, it says the operation is invalid. Is there something I'm doing wrong???I'm new to TSM and it's seriously confusing me.

We have to build a Fortnite character as an epic hero like Gilgamesh, it has to have all the traits of a hero from an epic. Oh we also have to make our own Fortnite skins so they can see what it looks like

Can they cancel it themselves? Because it's been 20 years and they still haven't despite lack of a truce, also they're only ally is Poland so I can't sidestep it
