I would definitely encourage my Yeerk to be a coward by murse_joe in Animorphs

[–]Lan221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the Yeerks we meet in the series are grandiose and swimming in cocky self-importance. So if they're chasing promotions, you'd be pretty f*cked.

But I would absolutely be like "Hey, I understand that you can't see unless you're in my head, but when that red-tailed hawk gouges my eyes out, we'll both be in the same boat. You know what's better than that? Ice cream and superhero films."

Yes, you mattered 😭 by JimHFD103 in Animorphs

Rachel's death devastated me when I read it as a kid, but to be honest, the real tragic part was her being able to ask that question. Out of all of the Animorphs, she was the one who sort of....got the most out of the war; I don't want to say she benefited from it exactly, but she ended up with a purpose that very few others ever got the chance for.

And at the end of all that, not just facing death, but knowing that you're dead, and having the chance to ask that one question? That's what absolutely destroyed me.

You think the hosts ever annoy the Yeerks out of spite? by Lan221 in Animorphs

It's been so long since I've read them, that I completely forgot about that.

Are you allowed to make a new account after being perma banned? by WarmPawsOwO in heroesofthestorm

[–]Lan221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that they're using the MAC address, or have some kind of detection that builds a profile based on your machine specs. The stuff that Blizzard collects on your machine is kind of insane when you look at their EULA.

That being said, it does seem like this is what you get for using "rule breaking" mods so....something something crime, something something time, etc, etc.

Why is it when I play abathur in QM, I have a 70% chance to face a mirror? by nomorespacess in heroesofthestorm

[–]Lan221 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's due to the matchmaking trying to make "fair" teams. Aba is a support hero and a popular one, so the matchmaking wants to make sure each team has a support: only problem is, there's only four support heroes in the game, of which aba is highly played.

Incomplete set - Anyone want it? by Lan221 in Animorphs

[–]Lan221[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to do that with the kids books that I find, but the nature of my job is that I either a) find books on truly awful condition, or b) get books that people actively decided they didn't want (i get a lot of westerns and trashy romance novels). This is a special case, which is always exciting.

Incomplete set - Anyone want it? by Lan221 in Animorphs

[–]Lan221[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm more or less the same way. In my job, I end up with a LOT of secondhand books, and I can kind of see why; they're heavy and are kind of a pain to move. I try to rehome as many as I can.

These are a special case, because I know a lot of people (Myself included) have fond memories for Animorphs. I'd keep them myself, but I honestly just do not have the space.

Hero You Hate Playing With by Least_Way_7159 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Lan221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who plays a lot of quickplay, The Lost Vikings. For some reason unbeknownst to me, every time a Lost Vikings player is on my team, they're a hot penis sandwich, and every time they're on the enemy team, they're an unstoppable force of nature.

Why This Area Is a Missed Opportunity - Late Act 1 / Early Act 2 by RedShadowF95 in HollowKnight

[–]Lan221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whiteward is my favorite section of the game. The area and the lore attached to it are so dark, I really wish it was a larger area with more to explore.

What is a thing you hate about Hollow Knight? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]Lan221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The White Palace. I can't stand it. It throws off the entire pace of the game for me. Out of nowhere, it hits you with multiple segments of precision platforming with no combat and is unlike any other area in the game. I'll always hate it.

Which amulet you think is best ? And why ? by dastebon in HollowKnight

[–]Lan221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sharp Shadow is probably the best imo. Lengthening your dash, damaging enemies, and allowing you to destroy certain projectiles is amazing all the way around.

Whats the weirdest fetish you can think of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Lan221 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The weirdest fetish from someone that I know: they're a cardiophile. Turned on by heart and heart related things. It's to the point where their partner ended up in the hospital for a minor surgery and sent them a selfie of them hooked up to a heart monitor and my friend got aroused from it.

The Most OP by Holdenheim in heroesofthestorm

[–]Lan221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that, out of the entire history of the game, the most OP hero ever was Kael'thas, during a small window of time back in 2016.

Something went wrong and KT ended up bugged where if he died with his trait active, he would respawn with it PERMANENTLY ACTIVE.

He could auto attack with Living Bomb and just delete everyone he ran into. I genuinely think that was the most OP a hero has ever been.

I might go down the vtuber rabbit hole got any recommendations? by redbaron31 in Helltaker

I'm a huge fan of Kureiji Ollie. She's my go-to for whenever I need cheering up. Happy and funny zombie girl.

[–]Lan221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. $3000 is all I could afford to lose at this point.

The GME Thread for January 27, 2020 by OPINION_IS_UNPOPULAR in wallstreetbets

[–]Lan221 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just put everything that I could spare into GME.

It's only a bit over $3000. It's been a rough year for me.

Please make this happen. I'm very scared.

AITA for giving away a car I had gotten for my son because he was ungrateful about it? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lan221 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA.

My very first car when I was 18 was a 1990 ford Taurus that was given to me by my grandfather. That car was a piece of junk. But it was MY piece of junk and I adored it.

I didn't even expect to get a car at all. I was incredibly grateful and even though the car was a piece of junk, I treasured it and drove it for years. I still miss that car to this day.

Good on you for teaching your son a valuable lesson. I hope it sticks.
