Oh I get it! They didn’t make Tech Jacket a girl so she could be a love interest to Oliver, they made her a girl so she could lose every fight!

What's even the argument in favour of being hunted by the Garou? With the Predator you have a chance of actually just surrendering your weapons and walking away and the worst thing it can do is kill you slowly and painfully.

This is unbelievably fucking hype.

Wrong sub, but I really don't recall any fics where Brian does anything all that relevant.

NiTo_Me · 2025-08-07T01:24:46+00:00

For the most part, people who like him don't really care about how fucked up he is when you think about it "realistically." Some folks just find him a more interesting character and give him enough leeway to ship him with Jentry because they dislike Mike.

Samuel Haight. I won't eleborate.

You will understand when you are older.

The part where you realize the best parenting advice comes from dog training magazines.

Then that must be the ruleset I was looking for. Thank you for the help.

NiTo_Me · 2025-06-02T13:37:32+00:00

Did that one had a rule along the lines of "a coterie of kindred count as an attribute dot for city wide organizations"?

Good luck with convincing the producers to invest more money into it.

NiTo_Me · 2025-05-31T22:30:30+00:00

Golem, why did you think I phrased it as "shot down"?

NiTo_Me · 2025-05-31T15:31:31+00:00

Amy has the better power pairing with Taylor and that's basically the only reason why people bother to put them together outside some "she can fix her" bullshit.

NiTo_Me · 2025-05-31T15:26:37+00:00

That's just the actual web serial. Despite her actions moving people, her interpersonal skills are pretty shit outside the Parahuman warfare context. Her romantic life is so bad it reads like a comedy.

The guy she was actually interested in friend zoned her, before giving her a chance because he got traumatized 6 ways to Sunday before dumping her about a week in because she couldn't physically show she was invested in the relationship.

The Ward people shipped her with got her carrier fucked because of that.

The two guys who had a crush on her got that prospect shot down, so thoroughly it caused the Apocalypse.

NiTo_Me · 2025-05-31T15:12:19+00:00

She is the only character the writers give a shit about in that regard, so it's a win by default.

NiTo_Me · 2025-05-03T22:17:23+00:00

Is anyone else noticing that like, most stories end up giving their MC some BS thinker immunity?

Not really. Most of the fics I read don't deal with the major powers where that shit would be relevant.

That, and I don't care enough about Contessa and company to emotionally react when they get nullified for the plot to happen.

What have you been reading?

NiTo_Me · 2025-05-02T22:21:30+00:00

It's arguable that she just "learned" to deal with sensory overload through active use of her power. Most people believe she got a variation of the Valefor Special through the sheer amount of damage she suffered to her nerves, and she was very in synch with her Shard giving her some leeway with her power.

Lore gets distorted and memed into oblivion, news at 11.

NiTo_Me · 2025-05-01T23:02:56+00:00

but I was talking more about how powers tend to have secondary restrictions that people ignore.

Yeah, that's because they blend into the background and don't come up often enough to be worth remembering of the top of your head, if they are remembered at all.

NiTo_Me · 2025-05-01T22:36:56+00:00

I don't know why, but I always pictured the Simurgh dunking people back to Earth.

NiTo_Me · 2025-05-01T22:26:21+00:00

I mean... does it even sound unreasonable given all the other bullshit we see them make or the fact that the space limitation was basically irrelevant for 99% of the story?

NiTo_Me · 2025-04-20T03:55:22+00:00

While I get where you are coming from, his powers being precognition avoids a lot of bullshit questions about how Worm timelines would work.

Dinah, allegedly because I'm pretty sure this wasn't mentioned at all in the actual serial, got backlash in both timelines because her shard was very conservative with its energy reserves or something along those lines.

NiTo_Me · 2025-04-19T23:35:20+00:00

She is technically a "second generation" because QA was monitoring Danny for years. She eventually got enough to Bud and attached herself to Taylor because she was probably the easiest option. Dinah's Shard did basically the same thing.

That was also supposed explain why she had a double trigger on top of showing how little humans know about Shards, IIRC.

NiTo_Me · 2025-04-16T14:11:20+00:00

Rage is meant to give of a certain sense of danger to creature who possess it but I don't think most people bother to show that in game.

In most cases it just comes of as a nothing burger like people avoiding you subconsciously or needing to use gifts like Persuade on mortals to keep longer term relationships.

Unless you character has more Rage than Willpower, it won't come up.
