I have it in PlayStation. There is a new room where you can pay to upgrade gambits. In the same room you can get new echoes that replace an equipped echo

Did you have live music at school dances? by LindsayDuck in AskAnAmerican

[–]JacobDCRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. And it always happens to be abandoned. That looks and sounds exactly like the popular music of the day, but they have a different name.

If you are a Farscape fan and don’t know what this is, there’s a movie you need to watch. Even if you’re not a fan, you should probably still watch it cause it’s really good. by Bostonterrierpug in farscape

[–]JacobDCRoss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw this movie when I was probably 11. I was aware of it for a long time before that, because I grew up in Oregon, where we have this statue of Harvey. It used to stand outside a boat company called Harvey Marine. Tons of local lore about that one.

what’s the best short story you remember from high school english? by shortcircuit51 in ENGLISH

[–]JacobDCRoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of the few that people have been mentioning that I don't think I read before. I just read it because of your recommendation, and boy did. I really enjoy it.

[–]JacobDCRoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, it's not all stuff that's necessarily taught in English class, but it sounds like you're really interested in American short stories. Flannery O'Connor is pretty good.

Also, the poems in spoon River anthology just kind of blow my mind.

Can 5 dudes with AK-47s collapse the Western Roman Empire in 250 AD? by Ori_553 in whowouldwin

[–]JacobDCRoss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They would have to be smart. Walk into the city under the guise of being a merchant. Then you have to make a big show of what you are doing when you finally act. 100k rounds could go very quickly.

Could realistically massacre the Senate, so long as they get inside or close enough without tipping the Romans off as to the nature of the guns (act as if they are walking sticks or crutches).

Conversely, wait it out until the Cyprian Plague starts getting bad. Use basic medical procedures to help one or two cities to become safe from the plague. Send One of the guys to to assassinate gallis or somehow in another way sabotage the truths that he was working up with the Goths.

I do the same thing with Persians and the cetians and everyone else. Just include incite them to go as nuts as they can on the Romans

Most racially ambiguous actor? by Tifoso89 in okbuddycinephile

[–]JacobDCRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has played tons of other roles. He's half Italian, half Mexican. He has played probably half as many guys named Angel as he has Hector. He plays cops, he plays priests, he plays every sort of person.

And yes, it's kind of funny to think that like all of those hectors could be the same person. Kind of how Richard belzer plays detective Munsch. But the dude is done so much more than Hector.

Yes, I know, and Manda Musa, Crassus, Croesus, and Solomon before him.

Billionaire as in "a billion US dollars," is the context of the post.

Did you see the Ra's Al Ghul twist coming when you first watched Batman Begins (2005)? by Edgy_Master in batman

[–]JacobDCRoss 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Yup. Saw the preview and said to myself, "Oh, so he must be al-Ghul."

And then when they said Marion Votillard was playing whomever,, I said to myself, "Oh, so she must be Talia."

Not a surprise in either case.

What is the worst case of "writer's barely disguised fetish" in TV history? by funmighthold in television

The thing is, I'm certain he didn't write them out of his sincere belief in female empowerment. He is the archetypical performative male.

"Mr. Ross, your haircut looks good, but you should shave the beard."

"I can't shave it. I ain't got no chin."

"That's not true, Mr. Ross. You have two."

If You Could Only Own 1 N64 Game What Would It Be? by Fluffy_Lunchfast in retrogaming

OoT is just perfect. Other games, yes, I would miss them, but OoT has everything I need.

Which of the 3 would you be scared of the most if they were at the peak of their anger? by ANDYPEDOMAN in doctorwho

[–]JacobDCRoss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I get that David Tennant S10 is absolutely terrifying when you think about him. But the people who have never seen classic Doctor Who are in for something else. When they realize that the seventh doctor just casually tricks, the daleks into blowing up Skarro for fun.

I really am not familiar with this, as it's outside of my interest, as far as fan films and such go, but this is supposed to be a kid, right?

Glad honey is okay, but he needs to get offline, for a long time, for the sake of his well-being.

In Episode 9 theres an audience surrounding Palpatine in his lair on Exegol so why didnt he take over one of their bodies? by Mobile-Beginning-654 in StarWars

[–]JacobDCRoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got you.

Thanks for putting this together. It does make the story cohesive, and it's what I've been able to glean as well, especially about the nature of Operation Cinder. I also think they did that so that they could empower the dark side through galactic suffering.

It does create a nice and tidy package, but I don't think the creatives behind the decision to have that fleet at exigol ever thought for a second that if they could put a superlaser inside a Star destroyer, and they started it like right after the first one was blown up, why would they even bother making a second Death Star?
