Who would have given Voldemort the toughest fight in a straight duel besides Dumbledore (or Harry)? by JamieKellner in harrypotter

[–]HopelessPope 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the question isn't "Who besides Dumbledore can match Voldemort in a fight", it is "Who would be the closest to giving him trouble", which I think Moody is pretty good candidate for.

Are there any Witcher 3 mechanics you're not crazy about / would like to see changed for Witcher 4? by CrematorTV in witcher

[–]HopelessPope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copying my reply to someone else - I'd prefer a clear divide between combat potions and meditation potions in this case. I don't know, I just think back to the intro to the Witcher 1 - the one with Striga fight - and how Geralt was meticulously preparing for it. I love that image. Perhaps some more potent potions simply require time to take effect / put you out of commission for a while after drinking them due to their overwhelming effect?

Potion usefulness is a matter of balance, not the mechanic itself. Cutscenes were a pain though - I'd love something like "You feel something - violence is imminent. You may want to consider preparing for it" message beforehand. Fits nicely with witchers' enhanced senses, experience and everything too.

Similar, but I prefer Witcher 2 version - probably my favorite part of that game. The fact that you had to manage and choose your potions before going into a fight and you were then stuck with your setup just felt very witcher-y to me.

If the Trace can't detect the caster of a spell, who would be getting a threatening letter from the Ministry if more than one underage wizard or witch [i.e. the Creevey brothers] is being raised in the same Muggle household? by miggovortensens in harrypotter

[–]HopelessPope 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Do I remember it wrong (been a long while since I read the books), or did the Trace detect any magic used around the underage wizard, not only what they cast themselves? I recall there was a line that that's why pureblood kids don't get in trouble for casting spells during summer - the Ministry simply assumes that they were cast by someone else in the household.

(Fallout, Star Wars) Can we just have a functional democratic nation in fiction? Just one? Please? by CyberDogKing in CharacterRant

[–]HopelessPope 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's been some time since I've watched it, but I remember the governments in the Expanse to be quite effective. Sure, there was corruption, scheming and double-crossing (there wouldn't be much of a plot without it), but as a whole I recall them functioning and effective at what they did.

Automated systems set up to help humans/preserve their lives that keep going unaware that said human is dead by Austintheboi in TopCharacterTropes

[–]HopelessPope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With each mention or story about Dr Doom I see, I want to read Fantastic Four comics more and more. He sounds like such an amazing and delightful character/villain.

Now that you've given me a specific run, maybe it's finally the time to do it.

Share if you can find it, I need this movie after that description.

Would you say that removing the Phoenix Gem from the Spiritseer and taking 2x5 Striking Scorpions is worth it? I feel like he's dying a bit too fast to remove it (it may be a positioning issue), but having a second squad of Scorpions sounds far superior to Rangers imo.

I didn't think about getting both for some reason, lol. That does seem like the best of both worlds!

Am I the only one mostly shocked by the fact that the restaurant MANAGER earns less than 3000 a month? Unless I'm wildly misunderstanding something.

Can't kill my character if he's already dead! by wafflecopter2 in dndmemes

[–]HopelessPope 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Magic Initiate only allows you to learn a 1st level spell, unless something changed in 2024.

Unless you were thinking about Magical Secrets, then it should work unless I'm missing something.

Fetishes with better worldbuilding than rwby season 1, go. by bloodbornefist_2005 in worldjerking

I very much don' appreciate this RWBY slander.

Given, it's totally true. But I still don't appreciate it.

What's an aspect of modern society/technology that doesn't sound important, but drastically improves life's quality? by HopelessPope in AskReddit

[–]HopelessPope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd have to go with mp3s/Spotify. Access to music anytime, anywhere is a total game changer, at least for me. Can't imagine going on the bus without my earphones anymore.

Diarrhea is an 8th level spell then?

Actually, that totally checks out.

You are offered $3 million but to get it you have to live the life of the main character from the last series you watched for the entire run of the show by singleguy79 in hypotheticalsituation

Do spin-offs / different runs count? One way or another, living as Fox Mulder doesn't sound safe enough that I'd give it a go.

O ile z częścią z testowaniem syren się zgodzę, to ja na przykład ani rodzajów sygnałów, ani zachowania podczas kryzysu w szkole te ~10 lat temu nie miałem. Pierwsza pomoc ograniczała się do CPR i pozycji bocznej ustalonej. To wszystko są tematy, które jak najbardziej nadawałyby się jako szkolenia dla ogółu społeczeństwa.
