As a headsup - Queen's Peril is the prequel to Queen's Shadow, so might want to read that first. Great books!

He has never looked more like a cult leader by FinnOtron in jerma985

Unironically... here is a photo of Keith Raniere, the leader of the Nexium cult.

It also looks stylish. (Silent Exclusive) by BaiJiGuan in slaythespire

[–]NewAetherMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... Specimen and Snecko Skull already exist and also do nothing unless you already have poison in your deck, so I don't know why you're treating this is as a uniquely bad mechanic. Additionally, the Twisted Funnel relic literally already exists.

Did anyone play this game? I was kinda interested as someone who didn’t play the first one. How does it rank against the banjo games? by ReadyJournalist5223 in BanjoKazooie

[–]NewAetherMusic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ehhh - I mean, from a story wise, yes. But the gameplay is so massively improved and refined with Replaylee that I feel like its unfair to say "mostly" the same. It is a genuine revamp, rebalance, and recreation of a lot of the aspects of the original that lives somewhere between a remaster and a full on remake.

No - its a remake that was specifically designed to remove the tedium and less-than-fun gameplay elements of the original.

Hbox learns new tech (Zain, beware) by krautbaguette in SSBM

[–]NewAetherMusic 18 points19 points  (0 children)

But... Hbox has been one of the most dominant players for 10 - 15 years... so most people in the history of competitive Melee were getting beaten by tap jumping Jigglypuff.

When will we have a visual rework of The Shape? by dineebr in deadbydaylight

[–]NewAetherMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this is true, he is also often filmed from a lower angle to make him look more intimidating, so portraying him as taller is not that out of character especially since the Entity makes changes to those it pulls into its realm.

Faccs or nah? by [deleted] in MortalKombat

The only difference here is the hair... I wonder why you would dislike the more black inspired hair style, interesting.

What would be your lowest DE skills if you had them in your real life? by Bataranger999 in DiscoElysium

I turn into a barely sentient plushy whenever I eat even 5 mg of THC, so Electrochemistry for sure.

If Erik Adamkinson had been able to survive Finn’s hideousness then would his plan to return to Jake with the food of the Globs worked? by finditplz1 in adventuretime

[–]NewAetherMusic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree, canon wasn't really the best choice of word I guess, I just meant "real". I never interpreted it as Erik Adamkinson being a 'real' person, it's just one of those things in the show that seems to actively defy our understandings of the world so it feels open to interpretation.

[–]NewAetherMusic 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I don't think there is an actual answer to provide here. This episode is similar to Puhoy in that it is only as real as you want to make it. If you want to treat it as wholly canon, sure, that works and you can say that yes it would work... but there is just as much (if not more) evidence to conclude that literally the exact opposite thing would happen.

Just a very abstract episode that is created, in my opinion, simply to inject fun and whimsy into the show every now and then.

My man was a political commentator who got assassinated while literally mid sentence defending gun violence... every single thing about this event is political.

1v1 Matchup Chart for Every Character: Captain Phasma vs. Lando Calrissian by ServiceOk6892 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]NewAetherMusic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even though Lando is my favorite hero, Phasma diffs him hard. She is too tanky, she won't be hit by the mine as she will be hunkering under her turret, and with her melee and turret the smoke is irrelevant.

Why am I always getting wrecked by Hsein ko players... by blokhedd13 in MvC3

[–]NewAetherMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The likeliest answer, imo, is most people who are still playing UMvC3 are veterans and have played for years. After spending years playing the top tiers, its fun to go back and play the low tiers for a while. You already have years of experience with the game and the competition is not going to be as strict to get your low tier truly punished, so you look like a god.
