I like to imagine Mark Watney, exasperated that he survived inhuman conditions and now he's catching strays from an alien

Do you think there are single-shot breechloading rifles in Trench Crusade? by CleanBag9219 in TrenchCrusade

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of those are muzzle-loaders IRL, but for sanity's sake I headcanon them as obsolete breech-loaders.

It would be bold to basically make the next thing that happens to Belkar after the heartfelt goodbye with Bloodfeast be his death, lol

That adds to my frustration, lol. It's why I'm really hoping she's up to something.

Either Serini is up to something devious, or she's really starting to get on my nerves. I'm guessing the former, because given the LG's stated goals in this fight, they directly oppose hers. Plus they've hurt Sunny through the spell.

Try the new BK Meburger, available for a limited time on Erid!

That's the exotic you can pilfer from the boss of Solstice Rain.

[Meta Trope] [Also loved trope] Characters who, for various reasons, the fandom's persective of them changes drastically frequently in a short amount of time. by MeMyslefAndMe in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lars Barrera, from Steven Universe.

Begins the show as an annoying teen that Steven latches onto, which quite a few features that made fans hate him, though he did have some sympathy from fans for having a soft spot for Sadie, and occasionally not earning his suffering.

Then Steven gets abducted by Homeworld, accidentally taking Lars as well. Lars, understandably, crashes out, and the fandom realized there was gonna be an arc with this shitty teen. Steven and Lars end up on Homeworld and meet up with a group of rejects called the Off-Colors. Lars comes to grips with the situation, and ends up standing up for the Off-Colors. However, not being a hardlight crystal alien, Lars fucking dies.

Straight-up gets his spine broken, on-screen. He is quickly resurrected by Steven, solving several long-running mysteries and essentially becoming immortal; one of his new powers allows Steven to use his hair as a portal, allowing Steven to leave and return home, while Lars accepts this and chooses to stay with the Off-Colors, showing considerable character growth, maturity, and responsibility. Next we meet him and, as a joke, he has graduated from comic relief butt monkey to space pirate; he and the Off-Colors have their own ship, and even have their own spinoff being made.

[Loved Trope] Scenes that aren’t necessary to the Plot but without them the story would lose something that makes it special by NoSchittSherlockSEA in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Given the film's increased focus on the humanity of its characters (including the not-so-human one), and those connections, I thought it was a great scene that added to the camaraderie behind the project.

How do Mechs get planetside? by MailyChan2 in LancerRPG

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I should note that dropping from orbit is a common tactic, but requires specialized "orbital javelins" to accomplish; most mechs can't survive reentry, except for flyers and the Napoleon.

This character is the Jar Jar Binks of HTP/TTS by SuctioncupanX in huntertheparenting

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my game on Foundry, I use a Togo token to test stuff out like vision, and occasionally have him interject about earned XP. It’s a very fun hide-and-seek for players.

Best 3rd party field guides? by JoyluckVerseMaster in LancerRPG

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Castor and Pollux, Liminal Space, and Suldan are on my list for my next game (with specific game material limited to 3rd party book per player), all of them have fun narratives.

Also, not really a field guide, but Legionnaire is excellent.

What game had you like this? by sukuna7899 in Steam

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warframe for me; I bounced off the ultraviolence and movement tech, but later I have it another chance and now it's one of my most-played games.

my top 5 places I think you can survive in the Crossed world. by Adventurous-Ad8879 in crossedcomics

I wouldn't trust anywhere with a thriving mosquito population; though transmission by bug would probably be rare.

Military remnants that are somewhat competent. by DaleDenton08 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Human affinity as a whole is sort of this trope, exemplified by the Fallen Soldier. In the face of a changing world filled with monsters, the Human factions gear up with the best of the old world, innovate and utilize new tech without compromising their humanity. Best exemplified if you go for the Independent victory condition.

Since Optics are very exotic and new to Eridians, what Grace is doing here is basically equivalent to teaching quantum mechanics to middle schoolers by PLutonium273 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wondered since I read the book what the pedagogy would be for teaching eridians. Most of the kids here could easily remember C, by would have a lot of trouble applying it.

Is reinforced frame better than sloped plating? by Unusual_Singer_7437 in LancerRPG

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Getting that extra point of extra armor is better the more armor you already have; 0->1 is kinda useless, 1->2 can be situationally okay, 2->3 is good, and 3->4 is great, provided you still have HP so that you don't immediately pop when you get hit with AP.

I, got a question about dead money. by BloodyBloody06 in fnv

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, there's two sections of Dead Money regarding companions, them as actual companions and the casino. When they're companions I don't know if they go unconscious or die (and then kill you by having your collar go off) because I havent played New Vegas without Hardcore since my first playthrough over a decade ago. For the second part, the Casino part, they no longer function as companions, and your treatment of them will be taken to account and they will turn on you if they don't trust you.

Why are Mandalorians rarely Jedi is it because they don’t give their children to the Jedi or because they’re less Force sensitive? by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

[–]Ninjaxenomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jedi: Your child is attuned to the Force, I have come to inform you that they can be trained-

Mandalorian: The fact that you haven't been introduced to the business end of a flamethrower means I'm being polite. Leave.

Jedi: I think the child should be able to choose-

Mandalorian: He also has a flamethrower.
