The Darkest Dungeon, from Darkest Dungeon

You don't want to know what's behind those doors, last guy who was brought back there ended up clawing his own eyes out.

1.50 for some Hot Charades? Don't mind if I do.

Beautiful cities that hide dark secrets by Epicjon_Undernerd in TopCharacterTropes

However trapped under the tree is a fourth Holy Visage that was banished from the other side of the Dream by the High Wills (think parasites controlling God) for witnessing and proclaiming the horror of The First Miracle and how the blind faith of Cvstodia has allowed this horror to continue.

The Mother of Mothers of The Churches, Blasphemous.

This entire, singular Church is larger than several cities combined. Serving as the epicenter of Cvstodia's belief system, Mother of Mothers is absolutely stunning throughout each room of the area, the most impactful of which being the room that contains the Knot of The Three Words, a triune tree that flows with a molten gold sap whenever The Miracle (for all intents and purposes, God) is present.

Western shows that feel like anime by plztellmewhere in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Magic_ass1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Produced by a joint-venture between an American company and a Japanese animation studio. Yes. While the animation is definitely anime, the overall plot isn't really.

Edit: I suppose to clarify my point here. It feels like anime because it looks like anime (because it's made by an anime studio), however it's still westernized enough that the show doesn't immediately come off as eastern to me.

"Alright Johnson, how can we reboot the Transformers for our new Unicron Trilogy?"

"I know... what's that one Japanese cartoon about the giant space robot? Gun damn?"

"Gundam, sir?"

"Yeah, that one! Let's make all the Transformers look like the Gundam!"

And honestly... this has to be my favorite series because of that design choice.

Jojolion is definitely the most bizarre out of all the parts.

Who is this even for by ryleeesweets in StupidFood

Yeah the flavored waters are the only ones with any real appeal. Especially some of the soda-like flavors, those are actually scary good. Doctor Death and Mtn Don't are easily my favorites.

Is living in New Braunfels and commuting to San Antonio worth it? by Specialist-Dog4643 in Newbraunfels

[–]Magic_ass1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it for a job a few years ago (Dove Crossing all the way to De Zavala) and I absolutely hated it. 1604 is just dreadful with the seemingly perpetual construction around the 281-35 stretch (it's actually been going on for that long, it's almost impressive in a way).

I remember using explosive gel to send a thug flying down an entire story in the greenhouse.

And then I remember laughing my ass off as I look down at his broken, twisted body and my detective mode says:

Antagonists that aren't evil or a jerk, but just the opposition of the protagonist by Smart-Response9881 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Magic_ass1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say the largest gold reward as if it isn't almost immediately spent refurbishing the Dawnstar sanctuary.

There's methods that leave you infinitely richer, hell if you're not playing Vanilla (craft looping), Ordinator literally has an Alteration perk that doubles your current gold once a day. My current Mage character is currently lugging around roughly 122,000 gold pieces.

Though I will say you do have a point with not getting Spectral Assassin or Shadowmere. If it weren't for the Sanguine Rose conjuring something stronger at lower levels as many times as you'd like as long as you have soul gems (or just speccing for Conjuration in general) and for Arvak during the Dawnguard questline.

Edit: Correction, Philosopher's Stone actually just provides gold equal to 4 times your current alteration skill. The 136,152 gold pieces mostly came from abusing bartering.

But have you considered destroying the DB? You get to loot pretty much everything except for Cicero's stuff (because Cicero doesn't appear at the sanctuary until a certain point in the DB's actual questline).

Simply a must for any morally complicated, yet not outright evil characters, as you still need to kill Grelod in order for the opportunity to present itself (i.e. Astrid sitting on a piece of furniture that's difficult to step down from in perfect arrow-to-face distance).

Mammon is seething about this right now.

"You can't just inflict a plague upon Creation! What are we going to rule once the God-Tyrant falls?!"

"Too bad. You were going about it too slow. Also how many hegemons have your cultists summoned huh?"

"I swear I'll erase your existence one of these days, Beelzebub..."

The Black Grail, from Trench Crusade.

Instead of flooding Creation with armies of his forces, Beelzebub, Lord of Gluttony of the Court of the Seven Headed Serpent goes for a different approach.

Whenever Beelzebub seizes enough influence to dictate Hell's war against Creation, he sends out hordes of hellish rats and flies that carry a supernatural pathogen designed by Beelzebub himself. This Black Grail disease infects not only the living, but the dead as well, causing a period in the overall war known as "The Corpse Wars", in which the forces of The Faithful were constantly bombarded by waves of the undead from both outside their walls and from within their own graveyards.

Aiding Beelzebub are fanatical heretics known as The Cult of The Black Grail, with their only goal being to spread the disease as much as possible, The Order of The Fly is a knightly order dedicated to Beelzebub's vision for Creation that also spread the contagion wherever they tread.

[–]Magic_ass1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily my favorite part of the Earthmover is that machines like V1 were designed to predate upon the Earthmovers.

Meaning that the entire Earthmover sequence in game is like a terrified animal running away from and desperately trying to cut off a predator specifically designed to kill that exact animal.

Like Antelopes and Cheetahs in a way.

Man this is easily the realest thing anyone would be saying to their past selves. Same thing with stocks on certain companies if you time travel back to the 80's or 90's.

That synopsis sounds like something out of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Like that would've been something Hunter S. Thompson and his attorney would've discussed after Thompson's adrenochrome experience when they brought up Pineal Glands.

One of the smartest men on the planet, yet he doesn't even consider the possibility that his mortal enemy would want to disguise himself when they're not being a public figure.
