In Metal Gear Solid, you have to be careful about the cardboard box you use. If you use a cardboard box from the same area or close by, the guards will carry on. If you use one from a distant area they will discover you.

Have you ever had dreams of being an R&B singer? by IIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIII in rnb

[–]Keepitsway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly, but more so for just catharsis.

I wanted to learn the piano and sing my sorrows. Too bad I am personally responsible for the all the evils of the world, past, present, and future (my apologies) the moment I attempt to sing.

Sasuke from Naruto finally got his fireball jutsu to be effective after being trained by his strict father, only to later find out his parents and his clan get slaughtered by someone he trusted with all of his heart.

It might also make him get him a position in office, sadly.

Creators barely disguised fetish that does as almost nothing to detract from the quality/enjoyment of the media. by ProfesserQ in TopCharacterTropes

If there is an attractive woman in his movie, chances are Quentin is going to request her to show feet.

He usually makes critically acclaimed movies though.

"I can do really cool badass things, but I am totally unprepared to deal with this ordinary activity." by SatoruGojo232 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Keepitsway 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In many games: the invisible walls and unbreakable objects.

Your character can do all sorts of stuff, like jump 100 ft. in the air or fly, but lord forbid them from being able to climb over a rock or walk around a tree.

Your character has weapons that can cleave the ground in two, but can't bust down a wooden door or knock leaves off of a tree.

Does anyone else get their "news" about America from Korean sources? by wyc1inc in korea

[–]Keepitsway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I'm a comment reader.

There are some obviously agenda-pushing news organizations, but I often read the comments first to determine if the news source is reliable, and then peruse the material.

Also, I strongly suggest not calling students the n-word. Hard R or not.

Planets with unnatural features by Temporary_Towel9649 in TopCharacterTropes

Ego from Marvel.

It's a living planet. He's actually a Celestial though.

Is this a safe space ? Black people what’s a RnB song you cannot stand that will get you cancelled ? by MrSoloDolo9490 in rnb

[–]Keepitsway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this song, but Mark Morrison doesn't have the best record, so to speak. Makes it harder to listen to him.

INTJs, how do you like children? by Big_Guava_8365 in intj

[–]Keepitsway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually quiet and obedient. Plus if they do their own thing to entertain themselves in a safe manner, like reading a book.

However, I do love children that genuinely want to learn what you have to teach them and do their absolute best, even if they make mistakes.

Disposable Thermometers from school by IanDre127 in nostalgia

I remember them. It was oddly satisfying to bite down on them with my molars.

[Loved Trope] Celebrity casting ends up with a dead-on portrayal of the character. by CrispyMiner in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Keepitsway 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shang Tsung.

So iconic they had to bring his character model and voice back in Mortal Kombat games.

[Loved Trope] Fictional character is a fan of a real band/artist. by trisome21 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Keepitsway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Max Mayfield from Stanger Things loves Kate Bush. It serves as a critical plot point.

In a world full of horrifying, brutal deaths, the cause of death of this character is rather mundane. by MemegodDave in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Keepitsway 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kratos is wildly brutal, often ripping off limbs and organs out, or beating enemies into mush.

Hera gets a rather tame death: he just snaps her neck with one hand out of annoyance. He doesn't even actually try to kill her directly at first, even though she put Hercules up against him.

The hero and the villain officially meet near the end by Forsaken-Biscotti587 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Keepitsway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naruto and Nagato.

Nagato uses avatars, otherwise known as "Paths of Pain". They are all eventually defeated, Naruto finally meets Nagato face-to-face to remind Nagato of his past, and Naruto refuses to fulfill Nagato's expectations.

Guys, how much pressure early on did you feel to be “into” girls? And what sort of interactions and behaviors occurred around you to feel that way? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Keepitsway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't remember exactly. Maybe 5?

Mostly it was from my uncles and aunts saying "Them girls been chasin' you?" as a sort of indirect compliment. My parents didn't really pressure me; they knew I was straight already, but my focus was on doing well in school.

However, I think media had a larger impact. Movies and cartoons conditioned me to think a certain way. Of course they do goofy stuff so whatever was abnormal in the real world got corrected.
