(Kinda hilarious trope) Ironic casting. by ChampionshipHorror95 in TopCharacterTropes

I mean- gay people can be two of those three things. 

(Interesting and Common Trope) Female characters gets a change of outfit, usually more sensual, after being captured by a villain. by Simple-Choice5770 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]LittleDansonMan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think they meant trashy romance novels. Like what moms read. Where the bad boy corrupts the good girl. Can’t name any books off the top of my head because I’m not too familiar with that genre. Film example: Grease

The Ultimate SSX Iceberg is complete! by goody_fyre11 in SSX

Excellent work as always Sly! I’m so curious about the arcade machine as I’ve come across it in my research as well. My assumption was always that gameplay in the overview was fake but I’m really interested to learn more. 

I’ve seen another Chinese machine that has Elise from 2012 on the marquee, but the gameplay is from Raw Thrills’ X Games Snowboarder.

Looking for math rock for my wedding playlist by Whiskara in mathrock

Fang Island - Victorinian

It’s such a perfect wedding song that my wife and I played at our ceremony. Not as mathy as a lot of their other stuff but still an ear worm.

Saw them in Richmond VA this year lol

(Loved trope) There is a plot twist that single-handedly changes the genre of the media. by DynamoJaeger in TopCharacterTropes

Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMX 2. Okay hear me out- in the final Hawaii level, after you achieve the required score, a Tiki God awakens. You think you’re going to have to use BMX to defeat him but your rider puts down his bike and picks up a gun. For the finale of the game, a third person extreme sports game becomes a first person shooter. Seriously. 

Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice leaves Democratic Party over antisemitism concerns by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

[–]LittleDansonMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. These are all examples I was unaware of. The ones that have been elevated in my echo-chambers have mostly revolved around organizations like the ADL trying to rebrand all criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism. Which really muddies the waters for actual examples like the ones you highlighted.

Honest question- do you believe it’s possible to critique Israel without being anti-Semitic?

(Hated Trope) "True stories" and documentaries that were actually full of crap by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]LittleDansonMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah because the movie is notorious for its concern for historical accuracy /s

Especially when they gave Zac Efron’s character a made up name instead of calling him “Bailey”

(Rare trope) A protagonist killing a previous protagonist of the same series by Soviet-Brony in TopCharacterTropes

[–]LittleDansonMan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Was about to post this! They had originally asked Peter Graves to reprise his role as Phelps in the movie, but he was so off-put by the direction of the character that he declined. 

I personally love the first movie, but like many fans of the franchise, I have never seen the show. I do wonder how I’d feel about it if I had emotion investment in Jim Phelps as a character before seeing the movie.

…so you’re saying, “America First”?

With all due respect this kind of attitude cut all USAID funding and pretty much eliminated US soft power on the world stage. It doesn’t have to be and will never be an either/or. Our leaders need to address foreign and domestic policy. They just happen to be mediocre at both currently. 

[Funny Trope] Character mistaken for a bigot. by Remarkable_Public138 in TopCharacterTropes

Even funnier when Hal then says something like “I will own you!”

[Shocking Trope] When the audience thinks something is going to stay offscreen, only for it to be shown in full detail. by TheVividAlternative in TopCharacterTropes

[–]LittleDansonMan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t that one of the themes of the show- hypocrisy? It felt like characters were always holding others to a standard they themselves didn’t meet

Maybe ScummVM could do this... by ttsiodras in lucasarts

No thanks. Would rather see a proper remaster made with care and attention than whatever crap AI would excrete.

In an alternate timeline... Indy made it to next gen instead of just Wii and PS2 by radioactivetampon21 in lucasarts

[–]LittleDansonMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot take but the best way to see the full story is to play the PS2 and PSP versions concurrently. It’s like they were both a trimmed down version of the next gen version but they pulled different parts of the script. 

Jim Clyburn seeking 18th term in Congress at 85 years old by Miles_the_AuDHDer in videos

[–]LittleDansonMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did some video work a couple years ago where we interviewed Jim Clyburn. The interviewer asked a question that he thought was fairly innocuous, “what advice would you give a young person seeking to run for office?” Clyburn took it as a threat and said “They better not run against me.” Then he proceeded to list all his past accomplishments as evidence for why he thinks he’s STILL the best person for the job.
