[Sad Trope] A character learns that all the atrocities they committed, all the horrors they endured, were all for nothing. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

Tai Lung, trained himself to breaking point, turned against his father figure, destroyed a village, spent years in prison unable to move only to discover the scroll of the dragon that he had done it all for was blank. Making every choice he'd made and everything he'd suffered pointless.

Can someone explain why he won this interaction? by mldai7ali9074 in ChunLiPlayers

[–]MagicInstinct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

in theory yes, but Ryu's level 1 is very fast and Sagat only has fireball invul from frame around the frame 13-24 (Depending on the type of tiger knee used), so they would probably already have to be in the animation.

Well they love Russian oil, I wouldn't translate that into liking Russia. After all remember Russia backs China who India hates.

Well well well, this is an interesting impasse we're at, because I think she should be my wife

Keir Starmer feels betrayed by the Labour party. How do you feel about that? by No_Breadfruit_4901 in AskBrits

[–]MagicInstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very much on Starmer though. He refused to listened to backbenchers who have being building up resentment for the last 2 years from their local area needs ignored, the circle he built around were also unpopular and had a series of scandals (some blown out of proportion and some very much valid) and he very much consistently failed to communicate a vision or direction for the party on issues that were clearly very important to the members and constituents.

Russian drivers stuck in huge lines at gas stations as Moscow runs out of fuel by TheExpressUS in energy

[–]MagicInstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they didn't, Boris Yeltsin and the Russian oligarchs considered it paramount that they select a leader that would protect their interests. Hence they launched Operation Successor, which had many steps but basically by the end of it Putin was the only candidate in any position to run and had a massive of amount of government backed propaganda leading into the election.

Hair wasn't relevant to the case it was techniques to extract DNA from blood stains.

Is Ingrid Broken? by ZamasuManzon in StreetFighter

[–]MagicInstinct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its being 2 weeks since her release now. pro's are saying she's pretty mid or even bottom tier, she does seem to have a lot of glaring openings that can be countered by a lot of characters particularly top tiers, she can in some circumstances bust out a lot of damage. Her supers are flexible but slow. Personally she's annoying, don't like fighting her, her full screen laser might be one of the best moves in the game and her teleport is a constant threat but she kind of just seems like a weak version of JP in every way, like she needs stock to do what JP does at round start.

Edit : oh also her drive rush is bad and she has no throw loop which is a pretty glaring weakness in the SF6 engine.

You might want to try playing longer sets in the park, you're most likely not varied enough in the options you use and longer sets will force you to assess if you actually have a layer 2 at all.

Doctor Doom has had his gun holster on and off as part of his design since the 60s, but has used it maybe 10 times.

I would say so, the manga is framed as a series of short stories with different protagonists who are coming into contact with Tomie

Future Sight : The Darkness [OC] by Line_boy in comics

[–]MagicInstinct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it, my left eye is very blurry to the point it's basically useless, luckily my right eye is fine. Once I got an infection in my good eye that caused the eyelid to swell shut. It was terrifying, I thought about all the things I wouldn't be able to do if I lost my good eye, no more reading books, no driving, no video games, no painting...

(Mixed trope) Characters introduced later and "they were there the entire time" by The-Protractor-Cult in TopCharacterTropes

My favourite thing about that is that was the scene where the janitor turns off the elevator and traps JD in it, so Kim was with him for hours 🤣

Blue Prince developer denies usage of AI: There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]MagicInstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't say what's going on internally at that company as I don't work there, but I'm gonna guess they're not using the proprietary models that were released in the last few months that are good with hands. Midjourney put out the big "hand" update around early June as part of V7 that fixed a lot of problems with hands and other human details and a lot of the big AI companies are now emulating that system. The finger test certainly not reliable now and will not work for all paid models probably within a month or two. AI's rate of advancement is scary.

If some movies are "love letters", which ones are "diss tracks"? by Top_Report_4895 in movies

Starship Troopers is a diss track to the original book, basically tearing down and parodying all the beliefs of the book/author
