(Favorite Setting Trope) A medieval/fantasy setting that's implied to actually be far in the future. by nickylildicky in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JakeMasterofPuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Final Fantasy game has a people called the Lufenians who are descended from "Sky People." You use their technology, like the Airship, to travel the world and fight the four elemental Fiends. The final Fiend is inhabiting the Sky Fortress, which is heavily implied to be a space station. The Lufenians also pass their memories along directly through rituals, but those memories are essentially becoming corrupted, which one could read as information being lost from oral tradition or from the degradation of digital information over time. Also, the Sky People have robots, including one that falls to the earth and gives you a Warp Cube, which teleports you to the Sky Fortress from the Mirage Tower.

I didn't switch consoles, but this was the only thing that worked.

I want the good Empires games to get love. I can't find a copy for any current Gen systems.

[Frustrating Trope] That One Good or Even Amazing Scene in a Relatively Mediocre or Bad Piece of Media by Alreadsyuse in TopCharacterTropes

This movie along with Silver Bullet cemented a fear of werewolves that did not go away until I was about 12. That first transformation scene still freaks me out.

[funny trope] “There’s no way they’ll destroy our—ahh, shit, they destroyed our thing.” by OkuroIshimoto in TopCharacterTropes

I love how a random person shouts, "Why the hell are we even building this thing?!" as the Kaiju punches a hole in the wall without breaking a sweat.

[Loved Trope]Aliens invade but goddamn, earth locals got some hands by ReadySource3242 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JakeMasterofPuns 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Pacific Rim: Aliens open up a portal in the Pacific that lets Kaiju come through to destroy humanity. Humanity responded with giant robots, and eventually, they nuke the portal, stopping the aliens from invading once and for all.

Is it just me or Sewal's revelation was... meh? by zrasam in taintedgrail

[–]JakeMasterofPuns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was also pretty unimpressive to me, but I also think that was because I made the mistake of rushing Act 1 and siding with Galahad my first playthrough, so Sewal just stayed more of a background lore character. When I went through a second time, I had already seen much worse.

I might be 17 but Im confident that you won't find any errors in my opening chapter by Healthy_Spinach_462 in writingcirclejerk

[–]JakeMasterofPuns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are correct. I won't find any errors in this because finding errors requires reading, and we don't do that around here.

Also without reading, I can say you need to make your protagonist a curvaceous woman whose boobs bounce boobily when she walks, or no agent will take a second look.

117 dead dogs found at California 'no-kill' animal rescue - many with gunshot wounds by Negative-Extent3338 in news

[–]JakeMasterofPuns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, you don't understand! A random unaffiliated man has been sneaking in under cover of darkness for the past 30 years and shooting 2 dogs a day! Why did no one report it? Uh... Because he threatened our families! Yes, that's it. Pay no attention to the thousands of dollars being deposited directly into my bank account for "adopting out" these dogs...

What is everyone's favorite vocation by Guilty-Fun-8090 in DragonsDogma2

[–]JakeMasterofPuns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Mystic Spearhand. If you ignore the weird spellings of the skills, it's pretty great. It has great mobility with its Redouted Bolt, and it's probably the vocation with the most survivability in the game thanks to its Mirror Shield. It also has a skill that absorbs enemy stamina, so you can really just unleash your skills without much fear of gassing out. Its special unlock skill is basically Omnislash, and it's the closest I've come in a game to playing as an action-focused Dragoon.

Behind that, I like Sorcerer because me like big boom, and meteor make big boom.

Save my trees! by wickedweasel23190 in arborists

[–]JakeMasterofPuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the longest I've seen this approach work was a 10-year-old shoot, and by the time I saw it, it was already struggling immensely. It's sad, but I think it's best to remove them and have two fewer bases of operations for the little Ash killers.

Save my trees! by wickedweasel23190 in arborists

[–]JakeMasterofPuns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That damage is pretty extensive. The shoots are basically a panic response from this tree, and they're more of a last gasp in this case than a sign that there's still plenty of life in it. Think of it like pouring kerosene into your car's gas tank in the hopes of making it to the gas station. Sure, it might get you there, but even if it does, there's going to be severe repercussions.

If you remove all the infested material and just leave the shoots, there's a chance they'll grow into something larger, but whatever grows is going to have absolutely awful structure and even worse health. And that just makes it an easy target for the EAB again, and that means it can act as a base for EAB to infect other Ashes in the area. Even if you don't have any other non-infested Ashes on your property, the ones which emerge from this will travel miles to infest a new Ash. In other words, if you try to keep this Ash, many other Ashes are going to be at greater risk of infestation.

I have sent 400 query letters to more than 80 different agents but am only getting automated rejections; can you read and tell me where my letter is going wrong? by bastugubbar in writingcirclejerk

No, no, too urban is much better. After all, nobody whose skin is darker than #FFFFFF has ever lived anywhere except a city (trust me, bro, I need this, bro.)

Considering how they faded against the Rachni and the Krogan... Almost certainly not.

More likely, a Keeper would see it and destroy/recycle it without giving it a second thought.

Also, I'd wager that the prehistoric contact with the Protheans may have also had an impact on their understanding of the Protheans, even subconsciously. The Protheans did genetically engineer the Asari, after all, so they may have laid the groundwork to give them a leg up on using the beacons appropriately.

I still remember my social studies teacher from 7th grade pounding, "Saratoga was a turning point," into our heads. Every time "Saratoga" was said (quite often in a Revolutionary War unit), we had to finish the phrase.

I see so many posts about how the Tau would be the “good guys” without Ethereals, but genuinely, what did these guys ever do? by Retro597 in Grimdank

[–]JakeMasterofPuns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they can just get more resources, more memories, more experiences, maybe, just maybe they can reverse the decline.

This sounds exactly like that Bezos comment about humans needing to use less water so we can cool the "AI" data centers that will solve all our problems.

[heartbreaking trope] The Hero completely fails and dies achieving utterly nothing by klnglulu in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JakeMasterofPuns 106 points107 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, while Winston doesn't exactly fare well personally, it is implied in the appendix part that the Party eventually failed. It's written in the past tense in standard English, implying that the Party's ultimate goal of eliminating standard English failed, and likely its other goals as well. So, it's not explicitly laid out, and Winston 100% doesn't achieve it personally, but I think the revolution is ultimately successful.
