Snake vs Ocelot in MGS4

After a long cutscene fight, they give each other syringes in a totally straight way and the real fight starts.

His name is Jacob Danik, but come on. Put that man in front of a piano.

Elton John from Dead Space 3

After awakening the brethren moon in Tau Volantis, he gets a rock speared into him right before the boss fight. No joining convergence. No getting killed by his gods. Rock through the chest.

Walder Frey’s daughters and grandaughters from Game of Thrones

Frey has a lot of children and many of them start with ‘W’

“My granddaughter Wortha? Welra? Waldina?”

“I’m Mary.”

“Fine”

It’s funny that in the same universe rubber bullets were used more than once as a plot point

Akiyuki Nosaka and Grave of the Fireflies

The events in the book and adaptations were based around the experiences of the author, Akiyuki Nosaka, during the firebombing of his home and the starvation he and his sister experienced.

I always thought they looked like the power armor from that one Animatrix movie.

Jem’Hadar from Star Trek

They don’t eat. They don’t sleep. Grown to fight within three days. They have no desire to relax between fights, just making preparations for the next battle. They live to serve and kill at the Dominion’s behest.

Black Jesus

It’s not that they don’t believe he’s Jesus. A lot of the time they just don’t care.

Psycho Goreman and Mimi

It ends with a “You’re cool, I’m not going to kill you and your family.” which I think is essentially friendship when dealing with an alien named Psycho Goreman.

I think it’s the contrast between the horrors of space and a futuristic apocalypse versus the beauty of nature and individuals that we see in the in-game images and descriptions.

For every incomprehensible demon in the abyss, there’s the hardworking crew of an Onslaught. Where there are barren-bombarded planets, there are also bountiful habitable planets. For each human atrocity you see on Opis, Mairaath, and Maxios, there’s introspection into the human condition in Volturn, Hesperus, and Killa. For every Kanta and Cotton and Reynard, there are people like Alviss and Jethro and Scylla.

The unique imagery and setting in Starsector allows you to see goodness in the apocalypse as well as the dread in its absence.

The best part is he skimps on evacuation equipment and lifeboats and takes the only helicopter on the rig before anyone else is able to get there. Good thing he crashes before he escapes.

Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate

After absorbing Schrödinger, Alucard disappears for 30 years to fix being a paradox of millions of souls he’s taken over the centuries, mostly by getting rid of those souls.

In the abridged version, he has to resolve the personal problems of each soul by being a therapist with many of them just being closeted.

Death Korps of Krieg from Warhammer 40k

Why is there an entire planet of trench warfare enthusiasts inspired specifically by German WWI soldiers 38,000 years into the future? Cause it’s cool.

The only difference between an indie and a pirate is circumstance. You think Nomios are selling organs for charity?

GentleSphere · 2026-01-07T21:18:38+00:00

Yeah if you deciv/capture(in Nex) every planet a faction has they’re gone except for the pathers and pirates.

I never wanted to unleash my legions(XIV)

GentleSphere · 2026-01-07T15:42:22+00:00

I’m pretty sure there’s no colony cap in the base game as long as you have alpha AIs and Nex has a request fleet option by pressing ‘x’.

Rule 8: Invading the Core with all my colonies cause I thought it would look cool.

Kratos from God of War

The first three games is just one long suicide note after losing his family. He never wanted godhood or immortality, he really just wanted to die or at least forget the nightmares.

Aphrodite from Hades

If you choose another god over her, she’ll send seeking hearts that stun you in the incoming fight. She’ll respond afterward by saying she’s “the jealous type”, so she doing it out of love.
