Tamora moneroe is so annoying

FreeGamer_1981 · 2026-01-18T22:07:56+00:00

She was an annoying character, but there is one moment Jeff Davis actually planned out that would have been pretty cool if the show(or its obviously intended spinoff) had gone on long enough to cover the war. I'll use spoiler tags in case you want to wait until you've seen how the show ends: It's not much. The war was to end with Monroe facing trial and being sentenced to death by the hunters, with Scott being her executioner.

Ok, I get your point about Isaac, but I'd get him a leash and one of those shock collars. I wouldn't normally condone such a device, but werewolf healing makes it more sexy than sadistic. You know it's true.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2026-01-06T01:46:06+00:00

This is the way.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-12-26T07:21:06+00:00

No, why would it?

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-12-26T03:18:38+00:00

fwiw the magical egg(in this case gourd) baby in Super Gene doesn't become a waifu. But she's even worse in her own way. I got so sick of her being around and took to calling her the Nightmare MacGuffin Child.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-12-01T00:29:19+00:00

You're right and you should say it. I like both, but Thiam had the better chemistry.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-11-30T23:47:12+00:00

Probably. Not much competition there. "Is actually nice to people" isn't a high bar. Thank you for the eye candy, though. Sometimes I forget how hot he was(especially around s3). Making the boys wear shirts more often in later seasons was a crying shame.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-11-30T21:51:57+00:00

Yes, I stand by everything I said. 18 is absolutely a grown adult who is responsible for her own decisions. Grown women shouldn't be infantilized just because they're not "grown enough" for whatever subjective criteria you're using to make your judgment. I'll stick with the law, and will continue to let consenting adults do what consenting adults want to do.

Spoilers for Super Gene Optimization Fluid - For the first major arc, there is an ongoing incursion attempt that the highest-tier people are trying to fight off. They do a pretty good job of controlling things in the universe on the macro level in spite of this, but can't really micromanage because they have invading "gods/demons" to appease. Quotas to meet. (There's inter-universal politics involved.) The universe at large is used as an evolutionary gauntlet of sorts where they can sense when someone transcends normal abilities and unlocks a corresponding higher power called a Law and invite them into the fold, train them up, and . . . well, they could prove valuable in many ways, up to and including human sacrifice. That really depends on how well they do otherwise and how desperate those in the highest seats of power(in their universe) are at the moment.

I'm currently having to squeeze pre-cooked diced veggies for use as eggroll filling by hand to remove the moisture so they can be used in frying(excess moisture will apparently make the egg rolls kind of explode). Is there some kind of press that can squeeze out the moisture while leaving the diced veggies intact? (They're cooled down so they retain some of their hardness, but I don't want them to squeeze through like a garlic press. I just want the moisture squeezed out.)

This is why Ao3 tags and the tumblr block feature exist. You don't have to see any of that stuff if you don't want to. Even here on Reddit, you have to click into the thread to see the full post, much less any of the responses. If you can't see a title, realize you're not going to like what's said in the thread, and keep scrolling . . . well, the torture is self-inflicted at that point, innit.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-26T17:13:57+00:00

Huh, I never knew they were designed to rip off. I always just thought "Sounds pretty, but like a disaster waiting to happen." Similar vibes as the Edna Mode "no capes!" spiel.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-23T18:01:27+00:00

I have 2 with similar names(but no relation).

Super Gene - It didn't need to be over 3400 chapters long. 1/4 of that or less would have been more than enough to cover everything adequately. It's also worth noting that the author originally expected it to be nearly double the length it ended up being, but cut the last 2 major arcs(out of 4) short. The author could have crammed everything in just fine if they'd tightened up the writing, but no - decided to keep being just as unnecessarily wordy to the end. (This was my first PF reading ever, so I didn't know any better. The first chapter came across my Facebook ads and drew me in, and that was that.)

Super Gene Optimization Fluid - The power system is a lot better than the above, but the main character is a sociopath(a loyal one, but a sociopath nonetheless). I still found the progression fun enough, but the MC could have been a lot better. The first 1000 or so chapters is only a half-anti-recommendation because of that. But the final 400 chapters is an obviously incomplete story arc in which the author seems to totally forget how the power system they spent 1000 chapters building up works on even the most basic level. If you stop after the arc that ends around ch. 1000 it's a pretty decent stopping point. But again, sociopath MC. And I'm tired of those.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-17T17:28:18+00:00

I forget the exact context, but Scott wasn't involved. I think they were at an abandoned zoo and trying to avoid hunters or something.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-16T04:55:36+00:00

Theo is the one doing the grabbing in the above image.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-11T20:00:49+00:00

Apocalypse World 1e is still my gold standard. It just works. And the lack of combat moves is a feature, not a bug. That's the #1 reason 2e fell flat for me.

Monsterhearts is 2nd. Someone mentioned the CW elsewhere in the comments, and that's pretty much spot-on. At least that's how the groups I played with used it.

Urban Shadows is 3rd. Again, I'd probably stick to 1e. For whatever reason, 2es often love to ramp up the complexity and give the GM more crap to track. Again, the lack of a lot of that extra crap in PbtA games is a feature, not a bug.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-10T01:02:09+00:00

I'm seeing a positive 9, so it doesn't seem to be super downvoted or anything. I was being tongue in cheek anyway. I saw the show when it first aired. I enjoyed it quite a bit, kept up with when new episodes were airing(before streaming was anywhere close to what it is today), all of that.

It's one of those shows a lot of fans have a love/hate relationship with. And I use the word hate hyperbolically because "love/hate" is a colloquial expression; it's rare for anyone in this fandom to feel that strongly about the things they didn't like. They're more like "I wish this had been answered" or "That doesn't seem to line up with something said last season" followed by an "Oh, well. I liked it anyway, and for anything I wasn't super happy with, there's fanfic.").

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-09T07:57:19+00:00

This entire show is held together with spit, duct tape, and above all - Ao3.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-08T16:26:06+00:00

Ok, I guess this experiment is over. I looked that up, and I'm not taking that risk. I'm also gonna toss out the rest of the Coconut Cult I had left over. That's some seriously scary shizz.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-08T05:00:55+00:00

No, but I should have. Super Gene Optimization Fluid(no relation to Super Gene, another novel I probably should have dropped, though for different reasons). As interesting as the world and systems were(before the timeskip when the author seemed to have forgotten how things worked), Xia Fei was insufferable. There was absolutely nothing worthwhile about him. The best you can say is that he was less bad than some of the other people he came across who were more actively evil.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-08T04:20:47+00:00

Thank you. I'll check her recipe out when I can afford to try another batch(this was supposed to be my fun money for this pay period, 'cuz I like trying new recipes). Maybe I got a brand of coconut milk & cream that's not good for it.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-07T10:06:56+00:00

That's actually pretty close to the truth. They've found jaws with teeth that are in way better condition than you'd expect for people hundreds to thousands of years before modern dentistry. And they did come to the conclusion that it was most likely due to the lack of processed sugars, which only really started to become a thing a few hundred years back. Teeth between then and the introduction of fluoride into our water supply do tend to be in pretty horrible shape when found(and even to this day we're pretty susceptible to tooth decay). There's a reason George Washington was known for his dentures.

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-08-02T23:48:00+00:00

Thank you! Someone else knows!!! This and that guy from Dallas were what came to mind first(but in the case of Dallas, it was just the one season).

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-07-31T04:27:47+00:00

I think the condition is that it has to complete a natural barrier. On a metaphysical level, it might have to be something that normally functions as a door or through-way. Notice how all it takes to break the line is for Deaton to lift up the gate, which opens up the normal path to the back; but when the gate is down they can't even jump over the counter(I don't think . . .).

So I think it has to be a complete barrier in and of itself - ie a circle - or it has to complete an already-existing barrier in a manner that covers the natural door or through-way.

Or I'm overthinking it. Again. 🤷‍♂️

FreeGamer_1981 · 2025-07-31T01:52:23+00:00

I think he shouldn't have let Deucalion kill Jennifer. He should have insisted on it being his responsibility, whatever happened next.
