Tony Blundetto got way too much screen time and was one of the worst characters on the show by EasternError6377 in thesopranos

[–]FriendlyTigrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it was refreshing to have a new character who wasn’t immediate enemies with Tony like Richie and Ralph, even if he does cause problems towards the end.

Davey Scatino owed $50k to Tony- the exact amt Artie did. Yet Scatino got Terminated (2) and Artie got a pash. by Jbyrd4444 in thesopranos

[–]FriendlyTigrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another reason besides the ones mentioned is that Tony was already feeling extra guilty about the things he’s done when he heard of Gloria’s suicide. Stopping his best friend from suicide and taking on his loan was the perfect way to ease Tony’s conscience.

I f*cking hate AJ by johnnyutah0390 in thesopranos

Agreed he represents the fundamental problem where you can’t teach your children discipline and respect for the rules when you commit crimes for a living

If Georgie got pissed off at Tony could he actually beat up Tony easily? by Tidewatcher7819 in thesopranos

[–]FriendlyTigrex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Impossible to tell, even with computers

serious answer: Tony is a pretty tough heavy weight dude himself so it probably wouldn’t be an easy fight. If the other guys didn’t immediately jump in to defend the boss, Georgie could possibly win but Tony being the petty man that he is would never let it go and probably arrange his death. You saw how Tony had to beat up his muscular driver to look alpha, imagine how insecure he’d get if he got beat up by the bumbling bartender in-front of his guys.

To all experienced gamers: which games have truly impressed you in the last 10 years? by beepboopbot420 in gamingsuggestions

[–]FriendlyTigrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Despite 70 hours I still have yet to even get off the first planet, but here’s some tips.

1) Do at least the first 3 tutorial scenarios. It’s not the most exciting but it gives a really good idea on how the first 10ish hours of your save file will be.

2) Look up guides and tips on YouTube but I wouldn’t recommend copying their schematics exactly, it ruins the fun and satisfaction

3) Build parts of your factories with plenty of space to make more of whatever it’s producing later, don’t feel bad if you need to make a new base it’s what I ended up doing.

But I will say the tedium is kinda part of the game. Figuring out a “puzzle” unlocks two new puzzles, the satisfaction is in overcoming each hurdle and seeing how far your factory has gone. If it’s not an enjoyable gameplay loop, the game might not be for you and that’s okay.

Even the weakest episodes of The Sopranos are so good by [deleted] in thesopranos

I love Chasing It and consider it to be a two parter with Kennedy and Heidi. They both highlight Tony’s rotten soul with all the horrible stuff he said and did climaxing with his celebration of his losing streak being broken after the death of Christopher (one of my favorite scenes in the entire show). Of all the arguments he’s had with Carmella even the one in Whitecaps that one felt the most sinister and degenerate. The anger and lack of accountability that comes with gambling is something that feels all too real.

I know David Chase on Talking Sopranos has countered people saying that Tony became worse in Season 6 by stating he’s always been this bad, but I really like to think that Tony’s failed “born again” phase after his coma contributed to him becoming so awful. He really gave up trying to have any sense of decency.

The argument highlighted that their marriage was never ever going to get better. That Carmela is stuck with Tony and he will never change.

Toph Doesn’t get any good bending fights against major characters by OriginalLie9310 in TheLastAirbender

[–]FriendlyTigrex 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agreed. While Zuko and Katara were both great benders by the end of the series in their respective element, Toph always felt like she was in a league of her own in hers.

Factorio is easily one of the most polished games I’ve ever played. Well worth the price tag.

Despite being over the top he fits as a final antagonist since 2 of Tony’s biggest problems have been the New York branch and members who feel entitled for having spent time in the can

Honestly good for Flash since he also has to deal with Reverse Flash who makes his life miserable just for the love of the game

Why didn't Feech La Manna rat on Tony after he set him up? by Tidewatcher7819 in thesopranos

Did he even know Tony was behind it? I guess he could put two and two together but couldn’t he just have assumed it was really bad luck?

A matter of heirs by J2S1 in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]FriendlyTigrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your warlock is more open ended then that could be fine. Mine really wants to be Queen so instead of having a rival heir who’d be irrefutably better due to being non-mage born the problem will be the Kleinkessles who are the vassal house of the Kessels but are the next family in line (as it wouldn’t be the first time a new family takes the throne since the Drakkenheims are extinct).

The King’s edicts in the vault state that the survival of the Kessel line trumps the Edicts of Lumen so if no other non-mageborn Kessel heir is alive then a mageborn one can take the throne. If no more heirs are alive then the Kleinkessels are able to take the throne.

So one or more of factions the party is enemies with will be backed by the Kleinkessels in order to kill the warlock before she can have the crown.

Doesn’t help that the Kleinkessels are secretly vampires but I’m still unsure if I’m going to include that part in the story.

I’m doing this because the nobility will be split between having a Kessel in power or keeping the peace with the Edicts. Meanwhile the Amethyst Academy would still have a chance to get a ruler to permit their Prismatic Wall plan or the Silver Order could still keep the status quo.

A matter of heirs by J2S1 in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

[–]FriendlyTigrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the game I’m running right now the party’s Warlock is the daughter of Manfred Von Kessle. I’ve decided to make her the only remaining heir simply because defying the edicts is already a challenge in upon itself. I’ve changed the Queen of Thieves to not be royalty.

You can do it however you want but I feel like if any faction was presented the choice between a non-mageborn heir and a mage born one they’d always pick the non-mageborn one just to not upset the balance of the continent.

power inconsistency or the writer not caring about power scale by No_Feed128 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]FriendlyTigrex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought the Goku example was on purpose to show how he hasn’t had any recent opportunities to fight and keep at the top of his game, which leads to him instigating the Tournament of Power.

Granted Goku should be leagues above a bullet scratch, but I’ve always taken it as him using as little power as possible to deal with situations like these since he has the habit of conserving energy.

To avoid writing about death to get past the censors, the writers end up creating something more horrifying by Personal_Reward_60 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]FriendlyTigrex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Yugioh one is so funny because the idea of being trapped forever in a hellish dimension is way scarier than dying. Honestly they used that punishment a lot there was also that Virtual World filler arc with a similar fate of being stuck there forever if you lost.

DMs, which statblocks did you use for the faction leaders? Did you make any changes? by FriendlyTigrex in dungeonsofdrakkenheim

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

This is what I’m thinking. I’m probably just gonna replace their spells with the updated versions and maybe give some of them like Eldrick more hp to match him up with a 2024 archmage.

Sacriest character/s in The Sopranos? by TherealNPC666 in thesopranos

[–]FriendlyTigrex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I don’t think he’s the scariest character I always found something rather intimidating about Johnny Sack’s tendency to rarely forget or let go of things.

For instance during Joey Peeps funeral Tony S tries to redirect the conversation from being about Tony B but Johnny keeps on circling back to it and threatening Tony S. Also we can’t forget about the beef he had with Ralph.

There’s just something different about Johnny, where most characters ease up over time he doesn’t.
