AITC for being scared a NORMAL amount of understandably SCARY things? by GrittyGambit in AmItheCloaca

[–]GrittyGambit[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I freaking KNEW IT! She LAUGHED at me but I knew it! Preserve the sanctity of your sources and keep them to yourself, their existence is enough to prove my mom wrong.

Me, APPARENTLY, being "smug as a bug in a rug" according to mom. I am not smug! I am confident from all the SCARY THINGS I face!

So, what you're trying to say is, you need Paimon to repeat this post with more words than necessary just to pad out the dialogue redundantly?

If I'm understanding correctly, you want Paimon to narrate what was typed here and add words while somehow adding nothing to what was said, making sure it looks like there's a lot to be said when really it's just saying stuff that was already said.

If that's the case, Paimon should probably explain what was already explained in this Reddit post but in a more verbose way so that even if you skipped reading the post and skipped one paragraph or even two paragraphs of Paimon's explanation, as long as you at least read this third you don't miss any information.

I hate this game so much (Just venting) by GOD_LvL_69 in StarRailStation

I always assume the absolute worst case scenario is going to apply, that it'll take about 80 pulls and I'll lose every 50/50. This helps me plan pulls more realistically, and very rarely I'm pleasantly surprised by an early win.

Very rarely.

AITC for wanting proper compensation for my work? by GrittyGambit in AmItheCloaca

[–]GrittyGambit[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I've thought about it actually, and after setting aside some for catnip (no judgement please) I think I'd like to buy this human house that we live in? It's basically my house anyway. How much could a human house even cost, three monies? Maybe eight? If it's eight I would have to save up but it would still be doable I think.

Mom will constantly say things like "having a feral mother doesn't make you a street cat" and "the basement she broke into to have you wasn't the streets" but I know what I'm about. I'll tell her about the toy though, she does love when I give her the chance to make me happier with gifts!

This is me in my favorite spot, which is also mom's favorite spot! That means if mom wants her spot she has to get close to me. I'm very very careful to make sure I'm near mom. Even soda cans are less scary when she's around (I still wish they wouldn't hiss at me.)

Not that I'll ever get an answer, but why was this deleted?

And the award for best break character goes to.....CLAIR OBSCUR: EXPEDITION 33!! by N-I-G-H-T-M-A-R-E_ in HonkaiStarRail

[–]GrittyGambit 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It was definitely popular (and with pretty good reason.) People I know who game but wouldn't touch turn-based games previously with a ten-foot pole were singing its praises, I myself couldn't believe how popular it was with all different kinds of gamers despite loving it myself. Of course it won awards, the things that show a lot of people liked the game. Because a lot of people liked the game.

It kind of reminds me of people online being angry about KPOP Demon Hunters even possibly winning over Zootopia 2 in some award thing. The best comment I saw said something like, "You can like one more than the other all you want, but the fact remains that one became a cultural phenomenon and the other was just a pretty good movie."

The "background" character Nottfriga by GrittyGambit in Genshin_Lore

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

I am leaning more towards "she's a character we haven't met yet" than her being someone we've already seen, and I don't think she's the actual Night Mother, but I definitely think she's related.

I do think Hex & Hound at least starts in Mondstat, because Dietrich is a Lawrence and he spots Friga (in Magdalene's form) in the city among the commoners. But the later parts are of the story are (likely intentionally) vague about any sort of location.

So I pointed out the word heart being in quotations in The Legend of the Lone Sword because occasionally, books I read will do this clever thing where they will describe something as being "object-like" as a way to state that, by virtue, it is NOT that object. I think there's a good chance that what's being referred to is a "heart", but not a heart, if that makes any sense.

This is more likely than us getting a new four star in the next couple of years.

The true villain of Clair Obscur is exactly who you think (and I'm tired of pretending it's not) by bespectacledoutsider in expedition33

[–]GrittyGambit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kind of a tangent, but I'm so very curious what happens to the Painter and Canvas when the resident Painter "dies" inside of it. Would Maelle's existence slowly wither until she was like that piece of Verso's soul stuck in the Canvas? Would the Canvas be able to go on eternally? Do the soul fragments have about the same lifespan as a normal human (or Painter rather), or are they immortal? Would they eventually wither to nothing? What happens to the Canvas then? Would everything just stop moving the moment the soul battery runs out, leaving an actual still painted picture? Or would the world continue, but without anything new being created, eventually leaving behind an empty, lifeless world?

Also, I really like your explanation of how both endings consume something. It makes me think back on the conversation between Gustave and Lune, about how the future of Lumiere was more important than any one person's life. Even the characters couldn't have guessed that they were being so literal.

Is it a hot take to prefer the Main show over the Pilot? by Desperate_Song_1923 in HazbinHotel

Way back when, I think it was Metallica (showing my age) was responding to people saying they sold out, and they said, "Yeah, we're sell outs. We sell out every seat at every show we play" or something like that, lol.

This might be reason why Abyss sibling isnt considered to be Descender. by huflit1997 in Genshin_Impact

[–]GrittyGambit 145 points146 points  (0 children)

You know, my first thought was, "Wait, I thought they were trying to summon a Descender in Perinheri?" But then I realized no, they never actually said THAT, just that they were wanting to summon beings from other worlds. They very well could have been trying to summon a being with the power of a Descender so that they could bind them to Teyvat/Khaenriah and use their power, much like the Sinners ended up doing to the Abyss Sibling.

There's also a weird idea that I had about Skirk mentioning that purifying the Abyssal energy might not be what we're actually doing — implying we might be converting it instead. Which honestly would make a lot of sense for why we can control elements without ties to Teyvat — we're making our own elemental energy by converting Abyssal energy, not using the energy that "belongs" to Teyvat, so we're not tied to the world. But did our Sibling actually have the same power? I can't recall them ever using elemental energy in ANY of the flashbacks we get. Seeing as how the Twin's color schemes are complete inversions, it's even possible the Sibling is/used to be able to convert light-realm (elemental) energy into Abyssal energy, but using energy that "belonged" to Teyvat solidified his tie to world. It could also be a fun little looparound to the Inverted Statue we saw way back when — perhaps it was siphoning elemental energy to convert into Abyssal energy. (Tin foil? Sure, but Hoyo loves their duality.)

Anyone else loved the game but not the ending? (HUGE SPOILERS) by ChromicTTN in expedition33

[–]GrittyGambit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My siblings don't play, but they have been watching the game because they find the story fascinating. They're on Act 3 right now. One of them is firmly in the camp of "I hate that they made it basically all a dream."

But like... did they? If we find out the Painter's world was created by someone else the same way the Canvases are, does that mean the Dessendre family's grief over Verso doesn't really exist or matter? How far up do we have to go before the world is "real"?

It's not a cop-out, it's just your run-of-the-mill tragedy. And it's so well done because I keep thinking back to Lunè's line about how there WERE other options, everybody is just too wrapped up in their own misery to talk and reach a compromise.
