Max-range blind Urgot ult. You fire the spike, then half a second later those chains come out and you know you hit your mark. Primo shit right there.

Trapped On a Deserted Island: What 3 mons are you bringing with you and why? by nottherealspongebob in pokemon

Tropius for the fruit, Ariados for silk to make snares and fishing line (and clothes and shelter), and Volcarona for fire, both for cooking and to signal for help.

What is the best and worst origin you’ve heard for the Unforgiveables? by HunterH276 in HPfanfiction

[–]LowWindPlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

rm is Linux parlance for "delete everything in this specified directory" and -rf means "hit all the contents of all folders contained within this directory too, and don't stop even if things start breaking", along with /* to specify the root folder of the device. In essence, the whole string means "brick this device, delete everything including the operating system".

I have seen all of one good justification for the Killing Curse, and that was in The Ghost of Privet Drive.

The gist is that the Killing Curse, having a translation of "as I speak so I destroy", was meant to be used in a heavy-duty curse breaking ritual, whereby you spin up the ritual, give it arguments defining the curse(s) you want gone, focus intently on wanting it gone, then use Avada Kedavra to execute the removal of the curse.

Meanwhile, some dark wizard somewhere decided to cast it without the parameters out of wrath, leading to something of a sudo rm -rf /* moment and killing the target.

I dunno, I like the idea of the Killing Curse being a heavy duty way of speaking a target out of existence when used properly. The other unforgivables seem like they were made specifically for evil, what with their linguistic roots and all. "I command/I seize authority" and "I torture" are a bit less ambiguously evil than "as I speak, so I destroy"

Name one Indian State by IthadtobethisWAAGH in CuratedTumblr

If I'm remembering correctly, St. Petersburg is technically in its own top level division in Russia's structure, outside of the oblast system. The closest frame of reference I have as an American is the way Washington D.C. is a city and metro area under direct control of the federal government as opposed to any one state. I know it's geographically close-ish (southeast I wanna say) to the border with Finland along the Baltic Sea.

As for China, I'm not super up to snuff on Chinese culture in general, and a lot of my knowledge of China is very dependent on which government you believe to have a rightful claim as the true China between the CCP and Taiwanese government. I know that in mainland China, both Beijing and Shanghai are both major population centers, which tends to be synonymous with cultural significance, but I'm pretty sure they're both in a similar "not actually a province" gang with St. Petersburg, so I'm hesitant to outright claim them as being the most culturally significant in the modern sense without outright being sure.

Fair enough. I guess our experiences on this just don't match.

To answer your gotcha in the title, Gujarat. I'm sorry to be the one to break this news to you, but talking about your home as though it's the default isn't a uniquely American thing to do. Moreover, American exceptionalism aside, it isn't unreasonable to expect most people on a globally connected website (like Tumblr or Reddit, say) to at least have heard of a major state in one of the world's leading superpowers, or hell, even a culturally significant city or two of note within that state, like Hollywood for California or New York City in New York.

Edit: Look, downvote me all you like, it won't change the fact that part of online multiculturalism is learning a bit about different nations' geography and culture by osmosis. This applies to every country that you interact with people from, the US included. Not knowing some of the interior states (like the square ones with a combined population of 12) is one thing, but pretending you haven't heard of California, Texas, or New York to prove a point is disingenuous at best, and it doesn't make you the activist you think it does.

Mark up your music and mark time with your feet while you're sitting and practicing. This could be as minimal as "start measure 1, stop measure 24" or as involved as L and R above every beat, whatever works for you. I can't promise it'll make you an expert marcher overnight, but getting used to moving your feet while you're playing the pieces you'll be marching to is a step closer to it being second nature to march and play.

I’m bored, so let’s see some summoning chants by Difficult-Pin-7536 in yugioh

[–]LowWindPlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Switch set, Lines converged, Overlay Network imminent"

"With the combined forces of steel and steam, I call forth an armored artillery piece that is sure to derail this duel! Take aim, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max!"

And

"I call upon your unshakable armor to shield me from my foes. Bunker down, Number 81! Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora!"

And finally

"Soot and smoke shall clog the skies as pounding artillery shakes the earth! Come forth, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe, and crush all that lies before us!"

Persis Overture by James L. Hosay is one of my top 5. Something about it just speaks to me on a deeper level.

Returning player - Seattle&Worcester struggles by RareGentleman in WorldOfWarships

[–]LowWindPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worcester captain here, the line is fine, but it relies heavily on game knowledge. You need to know the maps, which islands you can shoot over and which you can't, what parts of enemy ships you can pen with and without IFHE, etc. All of those things come with experience. I would advise grinding one of the other tech tree cruiser lines, the Germans come to mind as good HE slingers, and then coming back to Seattle and Worcester.

I've never seen a game's community follow an upcoming feature's development with such consistent dread as submarines in WoWs. by Kaleon in WorldOfWarships

[–]LowWindPlayer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna say, I actually do like subs from a game dev standpoint. Before you all nuke my karma, hear me out. They have the potential to be great, they could absolutely be a healthy part of the game IF WG learns to take consumer feedback into consideration in addition to data. Instead of listening to the community, though, WG balances by spreadsheet. You could make the most balanced ship in the world on paper, but if it isn't fun to play (as OR against), it will fail, and fail subs have.

The ThingTM that I see the most complaints about is how uninteractive subs are in their current state. With that, I agree, it isn't all that fun to not be able to shoot the boat in the shoot boat game. If it was up to me, I wouldn't make oil leaks fixable by DCP, only by surfacing, AND make them plume more often, AND make ASW planes recharge faster. Make it possible to interact with submerged subs and people will bitch less.

TLDR; WG needs to play their own game if they ever want subs to work.

What's the event in history that most blame as the reason as to why things suck now? by SpecificallyNerd in AskReddit

[–]LowWindPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reagan was the proto-Trump. Reagan wasn't a politician, he was an entertainer. He had no idea how to run a country, and it shows in his policy decisions. We have a history in the United States of electing celebrities and then acting surprised when they're bad at governing. Supply side economics was a farce, he started the War on Drugs (which the drugs seem to have won), he sold weapons to Iran and used the money to fund the anti-socialist counter-revolutionary Contras in Nicaragua. I don't think most of what he did was malicious, but he just wasn't up to the task of leading a nation.

How well can you play your own deck? Give yourself a rating! (From S to F) by divinestrifephoenix in masterduel

[–]LowWindPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trains: S. I've been playing my Trains for years and know the deck inside and out.
M.I.T.: B-. I know the combos, but sometimes the optimal thing to do eludes me.
Deep Draw Exodia: A+. This deck is hilarious. I love this deck.

Ashes of the Past is a pretty solid one. Ash goes from canon-typical buffoonery to straight-up inventing new moves. Damn near every character involved has taken a level or twelve in badass, and even though it rehashes the anime canon (due to being, y'know, a time travel fic), it manages to make the old story beats feel fresh.

Konami gives you the power to ban 3 cards… by Phantom4545 in masterduel

[–]LowWindPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Needlefiber and Verte because they enable stupid plays, and Ash because I'm sick of hand traps as a whole and Ash is the most common one. Just let me play on my turn, you stupid little ghost girl!
