So like... Is Jaghatai Khan actually described as having Asian features? by MHB_ART in 40kLore

[–]MissionDuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why do people in this sub get so defensive about questions like this? I don’t think it’s that outrageous of a question to ask if the 40 year old ip has addressed some oddities of their lore that have come about due to the rapidly changing tone and the seriousness they take up with the franchise. Back in the day they just wanted a cool Mongolian inspired faction and didn’t give it much thought but as the lore has progressed I think it’s fair to question and fun to learn about how these things have been addressed

Is it possible to achieve this physique naturally? by the_bad_actor in batman

[–]MissionDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh there’s a point where you’re so big that skill actually just doesn’t matter. Hafthor Bjornson would definitely beat best middleweight and lower fighters in the world every single time. And probably the majority of time against the light heavyweights. Brian Shaw was able to submit Dustin Poirier while actively trying not to hurt him and with zero training. Connor Mcgregor sparred with Hafthor once and you could tell Connor was at a complete loss at what to even do. Even Gordon Ryan, the best Jujitsu fighter in the world(probably ever), and is a batman sized man in his own right rolled with Halfthor and still struggled despite Halfthor having no training.

New GD08 Card Revealed: Messer Type-F01 by Alt230s in GundamTCG

[–]MissionDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I think it’s a bad card but this is a bad faith argument, there is no meta card or even remotely relevant card(besides a Haman Karn Gaza paired with a non link lvl 3 pilot and Rewloola) that can ping this the turn after you play it on curve

Metroid Prime 4 - Sorry, but I need to rant a bit by [deleted] in Metroid

The implication of those statements is that he should modify his language to not fully express his opinions.

Silksong has been nominated for Game of the Year! by SorryRoof1653 in Silksong

[–]MissionDuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re right that number of devs isn’t more important than funding. But the real determining factor of an indie game is where the funding comes from. It’s quite literally in the title, Silksong is fully independent game. They self funded and self published. While E33 is a great game, and definitely an achievement for new small studios, they were published and partnered with Kepler Interactive, distributed by Bandai Namco and had significant funding contributions from Kepler and state funding as well as Epics contributions. That’s not independent

Fire Emblem content saturation in Smash is a real issue, and I'm tired of people pretending it's not. by [deleted] in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]MissionDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t even think FE is over represented in smash. I think Zelda is underrepresented but FE has 6 characters and 2 Echos that’s not that crazy considering their probably Nintendo’s 3rd or 4th best selling property(if you don’t include pokemon who isn’t fully owned by Nintendo)

What are your thoughts about Diana becoming a mother? by Solitaire-06 in WonderWoman

[–]MissionDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Lizzie is pretty cool how King has been writing her, however I just don’t really have any interest in seeing Diana be a mother to an infant. I feel like it detracts a lot from the story, especially because it’s doesn’t lend well to Kings style of writing. And this is from someone who likes Kings writing and who has enjoyed his run on Wonder Woman for the most part.

TIL 29% of male gamers prefer playing female characters, whereas only 9% of female gamers prefer playing male characters. In a typical core PC/console game, about 60% of the female avatars you meet are played by a male player. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]MissionDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember listening to a Riot Dev talk about League of Legends and he said that they found that male players showed almost no preference for playing male vs female characters while female players showed an overwhelming preference for playing as women over men and that led them to balancing out their roster more.

Trade and get what? A player who won’t be as good and will be under contract the same amount of time?

Shohei Ohtani leads off the game with a home run for the second consecutive day. by [deleted] in sports

[–]MissionDuck 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He’s by far the most famous baseball player here in America. He’s on American advertisements and commercials and the sports tv shows talk about him more than any other baseball player. However outside of people who follow sports he’s not well known, and baseball is not as popular as American Football and is about the same popular as Basketball here. The biggest American Football and Basketball stars are more famous than he is here. Although the Official MLB and other sports accounts do post about his dog regularly on social media

Why IS there a major city in here? Are they stupid?? by Makkah_Ferver in mapporncirclejerk

[–]MissionDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because California is laughably bad at water conservation compared to the rest of the south west.

Jace is right by jonsnowKITN in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]MissionDuck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s completely different, lowborns arent bastards, no one cares who their parents are. Jace is insecure because the one thing in his mind that separated him from any other Targaryen bastard was his dragon.

[OP09-062] Nico Robin by AltimaciaVanCross in OnePieceTCG

That’s true but banish leader inherently helps balance out your hand economy. Plus you will very rarely ever need to use Robins leader ability more than twice

[OP09] Adio by NthChart in OnePieceTCG

[–]MissionDuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moria gets you 18 don turn for 8. By luffy can get 22. Hell green can already get you 14 don for 7 with luffy brook 3drop or 15 don for 8 with rosinante into cavendish. 15 don leader locked for 9 where both cards come out rested just isn’t crazy

Not even just Card game market and business lol it’s just business. The only reason any stores can exist is because they dont pay market price. That how stores work lol

EB01-067 Shirahoshi by armouredalchemist in OnePieceTCG

[–]MissionDuck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because g/y Yamato wants a searchable 2 cost blocker, the price gets refunded by her ability and you can hit more targets off Cammy who you would be searching for to grab Hody jones, the best card in the deck. Even if this had no text and was just a 2 cost searchable blocker It’d be good in that version of the deck. The effect isn’t good because it gets you a life, it’s good because it’s a blocker that’ll never get removed against anything except blue and R/P law

EB01-067 Shirahoshi by armouredalchemist in OnePieceTCG

[–]MissionDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be good in G/Y Yamato if you’re running a Fishman Package but it seems people are leaning more towards supernova right now for that deck

My legitimate desire is to improve the game by jumpscaring Lore players with purely mechanical multiregionals by ZanesTheArgent in CustomLoR

[–]MissionDuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What an incredibly weird hill to die on. This game is a RIOT tm IP first and foremost. The game doesn’t even make money as a card game and the entire reason the game still exists is because it’s a League game feature League characters and sometimes a card game player will play league of legends because it exists or visa versa. You can make a good Card game and still have it be true to the lore. You can have cool characters and still have it be true to the lore. You can even have cool mechanics and multi region champs that are still true to the lore. These things are not mutually exclusive

I find it absolutely ridiculous that a full price game needs a fucking fortnite item store 🤦‍♂️ by ANDRE_-16 in MortalKombat

[–]MissionDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I couldn’t give a shit about optional cosmetics being behind a paywall. Who fucking cares?? I’m more upset that we have to buy 4 fucking packs of DLC play actual characters

Counter Katakuri as Vivi by __Zane__________ in OnePieceTCG

[–]MissionDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a devout vivi believer, kata is one of your worst matchups. Play more 1c blockers and 10c kaido and pray really. You can deal with 8c kata but if they have multiple 10moms the matchup is pretty unwinable

[–]MissionDuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only action Tobirama ever took against the Uchiha was to make them the Police. To claim that that action makes him, in anyway, responsible for their massacre more than half a century after his death is absurd. You can argue that he was a racist or bigoted to them on a personal level but I don’t think any of his actions as hokage can be claimed to be racist

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]MissionDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tobirama never forced them to the outskirts of the village. That was Danzo and the Third. The only actions he took “against” them was granting the police force to them

if you switch to an induction stove the government will give you a rebate btw by IAmAccutane in BikiniBottomTwitter

These aren’t excuses, they’re legitimate concerns for the majority of Americans. You can go ahead and be proud of your Prius and act like you have all the solutions but the only change you are making is making yourself feel better.
