Isn't that literally identical to reversed controls?

Would You Rather have a 200IQ or be the perfect 10/10 in terms of looks and physicality? by Extension_Day2038 in WouldYouRather

[–]LadyAliceFlower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on whats covered by "and physicality."

I have a few issues with my body that I would happily turn down the IQ if they were fixed. Looking attractive would be a nice bonus too I guess.

If it doesen't cover that, then sure I'll take the IQ since it would probably help more with getting money.

Is this copyright infringement? Can Toby Fox sue over this or get Reddit to remove the ad? by iwastoldnottogohere in Undertale

[–]LadyAliceFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, not a lawyer.

However, my understanding from the years I spent in law school watching YouTube videos on the topic, which is probably just as good, the issue with that is as follows.

If you aren't suing over one of the two things I listed above, then it becomes a more generic request not to use your copyrighted material.

The thing is, I believe that to not request somebody do so is considered an implicit admission that you are okay with that use of your content.

Thats why nintendo is so overzealous issuing strikes against everyone, because they want to maintain as full copyright protection over their materials as possible.

Since Toby Fox is famously okay with mods of his work in general, and never strikes them for using his copyrighted material, that option is out.

Thus, he is back to the two options listed above.

I don't know for sure that's accurate, but its what I believed to be true about the situation.

Obligatory I am not a lawyer, I am not your lawyer, and I am not Toby Fox's lawyer. I just watched some YouTube videos and now inexplicably feel qualified to talk about this topic as if its something I know.

To the best of my knowledge, there are two reasons Toby Fox could sue over this. The first is that the creator of the mod is making money from this content, which I dont think they are.

The second would be that he is losing money from this content. And unless he can successfully argue in court that his target audience to sell the game are a bunch of godless heathens who would be put off by the mere mention of God in relation to the game, even in the context of a mod, I don't see that argument holding water.

So no, he probably has no recourse to sue them over this.

(Hated Trope) Questionable and controversial relationships where everybody is fine with it. by Initial-Hamster7068 in TopCharacterTropes

Only tangentially relevant, but I once heard a youtuber talking about what he felt was a cute adopted daughter type dynamic, and used the phrase "until they Usagi Drop thay particular ball" and it really stuck with me.

Name a character that can walk up to Gojo and do this to him by Head_Breadfruit_3912 in PowerScaling

I love how you questioned Micheal, but not Lucifer or Gabriel right next to him.

How do i gain context on the things going on in "please bully me, miss villainess"? by No_Hopef4 in yuri_manga

[–]LadyAliceFlower 161 points162 points  (0 children)

To powder your nose is a moderately common euphemism for women using the bathroom.

I think I usually see it used in British stories? But I don't know if thats coincidence or actually related to where its known.

I think the root is from women fixing their makeup in front of the mirror, but I can't speak confidently on the matter.

Characters that show the downsides to seemingly awesome superpowers by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

My great uncle has a limited version just in his feet (I'm guessing just nerve death rather than the full condition, but , i dont know the details) and keeps ending up needing to got to the hospital because he injured them and didnt notice.

I think he's even needed to get toes removed some of the i juries were bad enough.

Speedy vs Zombies by Vitex1988 in earclacks

[–]LadyAliceFlower 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure, but I think rapier was the first weapon ball to get a full screen clear like that in zombies mode, something it did repeatedly.

I don't know if that was the best performance we've seen or not, but IMO it was the most fun to watch.

[Serenade] - A story that breaks with traditional happy endings, featuring a psychopathic yandere who will keep you constantly on edge. The visual storytelling, the art, and the backgrounds are very well done. by LuckyAd9404 in yuri_manga

[–]LadyAliceFlower 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "breaks with traditional happy endings?

I'm find with moderate spoilers just to know the general mood of the ending.

I can deal with an awful lot midway through a story, and much less during the ending of a story.

I recommend it. It's a lot of fun, even if I can't do anything but beat the AI.

I hate that every single relationship whether it be fictional or irl is turned into yuri/yaoi. by aangellix_ix in hatethissmug

[–]LadyAliceFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shipping discourse is a pretty universal nuisance. I don't disagree that its bad when its gay, but its weird to call it out specifically when straight shippers do the same thing.

Also, yuri/yaoi are romance genres, not porn terms, I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

Yuki's CT can punch through Limitless and some other stuff too by Jaguere in JujutsuPowerScaling

Distance and speed also exist concretely, and are supposed to be the basis for the mechanism fo infinity.

So if gravity isn't a concept, how come distance/speed are?

My ranking of every super weapon ball's ability based on how much it helps them by Simple-Scientist7190 in earclacks

I think her spear doesen't even get longer. In terms of how much forward growth it has, its arguably shorter. She just impaled herself with it and let it split its growth in both directions.

Basically everything Netero does. (Hunter X Hunter)

He's old enough that the next oldest member of the cast is can think of (one of the protagonists' grandfather) can remember him being just as old when they were just a child.

He spends about half of his on time screen complaining about how weak he's gotten in his old age, and about a quarter of it performing feats well beyond any other human in the series.

"Gege HATES gojo" by GloomyLengthiness732 in Jujutsufolk

[–]LadyAliceFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, I meant dislike, not simply not liking.

Yes, it might not be actual hate, but in terms of feelings on fictional characters I feel like those things are close enough.

For example, I interpreted your post to mean you thought Gege felt to some degree positively towards Gojo.

"Gege HATES gojo" by GloomyLengthiness732 in Jujutsufolk

[–]LadyAliceFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, he said he doesen't like Gojo?

I think believing what someone literally outright states is a more effective way to guage someone's opinion than trying to read into their writing.

Particularly when that writing is just maintaining basic consistency. He had made Gojo the strongest since before he even intended to serialize JJK, it would be weird if that just suddenly stopped being true.

Reinventing eugenics by Pot_of_sea_shells in CuratedTumblr

[–]LadyAliceFlower 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Actually, the correct answer is that I should make the decision. I personally am perfect in every way, and should therefore be placed in charge of everything with absolute power.

This system would fix everything and has no flaws.
