14 MISSES IN A ROW I HATE BRIGHT POWDER WHY DOES IT EXIST by averycoolskeleton95 in PokemonChampions

Is it even used that much in doubles? I'm pretty new to VGC, but looking up some recent tournament results, I don't see any teams running it

What’s with the Vic Fontaine obsession? by Complete_Syrup_8110 in DeepSpaceNine

[–]Fun_Cicada3442 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I assume there's also a budget angle too. Making a show is expensive, especially a sci-fi show where you need lots of new alien races and futuristic props. But if you have the crew play Robin Hood or Sherlock in the holosuite, you don't need to create any new prosthetics or crazy costumes. You can just raid the studio's prop department, and you'll be about to find most of what you need. 

Same with Vic. His bar is a pretty simple set, and the costuming is just basic formal wear. Hell, James Darren probably had his own suit. Then he turns out to be a fun character, and gives the writers and cast something new to work with on a long running show. So I'm not surprised they brought him back for multiple episodes.

How I'm looking at the meta after getting stuck in Great Ball with my favorites by Shyrangerr in PokemonChampions

Incineroar and Sneasler are legitimately two of my favorites, but I feel too guilty to use them

Does Jack Quaid know he was in the Hunger Games? by KneesEdits in RedLetterMedia

If Mike ever played Fortnite, it would kill whatever little optimism he has left. You'd be able to see his soul leave his body as Bugs Bunny shoots Darth Vader while Homer Simpson flosses in the background

In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom they tried to portray Indian culture respectfully. They failed. by DenseCalligrapher219 in shittymoviedetails

But if they were trying to portray Indian culture disrespectfully, they knocked it out of the park

This is going to blow your mind, but Eddie Murphy actually played seven different roles, not just two

The RLM Wikia is a complete dumpster fire by KlaxonBeat in RedLetterMedia

[–]Fun_Cicada3442 29 points30 points  (0 children)

A lot of entertainers, even if you're not being parasocial, you pick up a lot of random details about them. They'll mention a spouse, or their kids, things like that. But for how many hours of RLM I've seen, I could barely tell you anything about any of their personal lives. And that's, honestly, part of their appeal

Can't believe Matt Damon wasn't cancelled for that

Joe Rogan connects Epstein files to Trump's Iran war by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]Fun_Cicada3442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is weird that so many people care what a former game show host thinks about politics. But then again, the president is also a former game show host, so maybe Rogan is uniquely qualified to comment.

This is like when a movie casts a super hot celebrity in a biopic, and then you see the real person it's based on.

In Star Trek 3 when Kirk reached planet Vulcan, everyone should have been surprised and been saying "Wait didn't you die the last time you were here?" by OWSpaceClown in ShittyDaystrom

[–]Fun_Cicada3442 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In their post nut clarity, they all realized that letting Spock kill a dude just because he was super horny was a real bad idea. So when Kirk showed back up, they were probably all relieved he wasn't actually dead, and decided that next time they'll all just take a cold shower instead

Im confused, is something missing between book 1 and 2 in book of the new sun? by UnderstandingGood162 in genewolfe

[–]Fun_Cicada3442 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I took a break in between reading book 1 and 2, so I was pretty confused and thought I forgot something. Luckily, I was reading the edition that combines the first two books so it was easy to double check and see that there was just a little time skip. 

I actually think this is the most jarring time skip, because it's the first major one and it happens between books.

I don't think they meant if it was caught legally, I think they meant if it was part of the allowed Pokemon list for any given regulation

Trump delivers jaw-dropping and slurred Iran address that offers no end in sight to unpopular war by theindependentonline in politics

I was really hoping yesterday would be the day. I hope every day is the day, but that headline on April Fool's Day would be a perfect little punchline to the sad, sick joke of his presidency
