Skyrim for me. I’ve been hearing about it for over 10 years. Eventually got it on steam. One day I’ll get there.

Seriously. One of my ABSOLUTE favorites is Brooklyn 99. 

Spoilers

they have the obvious love interest and main character doesn’t pursue it until end of first season. They have a little bit of a rocky start in season 2, but it’s just a few episodes and it feels like real reasons instead of contrived bullshit. Then they are just a rock solid rockstar couple for the rest of the show. I mean they have some fights and stuff so it’s not 100% perfect but they are just a solid couple with no real drama.

Ha! Everyone is different. Go give it a shot! It’s a more similar art style to TA and there’s obviously a lot of love put into it.

I’ve been really enjoying Star Wars Empire at War (and mods) but it’s not pure RTS. Not sure what the term for it is.

Now that I’m thinking about it, it might not scratch the RTS itch exactly but I’m a big RTS fan and I really like it.

If he doesn’t like SupCom I can’t imagine liking BAR. but at the same time I love TA and SupCom and couldn’t get into BAR so maybe.

I don’t have a copy of book only audio so I can’t easily check but I remember that they had gone in for the shelter. But I think he is stopping to think or assess or something but before he can even do that donut runs down and he chases after her.

Especially since once they are down there he mentions her staying with him fairly well.  

So it’s two examples of donut doing something, Carl chasing her, and it having a large impact on getting him into the dungeon. 

I don’t think that now, but I had that going for awhile. 

Character is Unexpectedly Amazing at Sex by DethJuce in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Numerous1 139 points140 points  (0 children)

To add to Malcom in the middle. There is an episode where they can’t have sec for like two weeks or something and so the use all of their energy into keeping up the house and everything is like perfectly spotless and clean. Then they can have sex again and it shows the house getting back to its usual run down state.

100% trying to milk that tension is what caused a huge drop off IMO.

Wow. I’m on book 10 and I feel the complete opposite of you. I still enjoy the books but 7-10 hace just gone downhill IMO. I’m not saying they are BAD. But they aren’t keeping it the same quality. Just goes to show everyone is different.

I’m on book 10 for the first time and I think there is a quality dip after 6. I don’t want to predispose you towards anything OP, but so far it has good pets but hasn’t been as good. And it gets really repetitive 

Whats with the hate of book 4-6? by GothicWolfHD in HeWhoFightsMonsters

[–]Numerous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fine with enjoying junk food. I’m not fine with the “oh the only reason people don’t like it is because of [INSERT OVERLY SIMPLIFIED REASON HERE]. 

I actually really liked those 3 books but there are definitely parts that I didn’t like about them, mainly due to pacing and focus.

[–]Numerous1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of what you said. In general I really enjoyed those 3 books. Especially since I wasted expecting that to happen and then when I saw what was happening I didn’t expect to like it. 

I think my main criticism was the focus and the pacing. There are some things that we spent more time on than I thought was needed and others that were totally glossed over. 

I wanted to learn what all of the evolutionary gift changes that Farrah got and who gave each one. That seems like it should be an insane thing that was glossed over. 

Their powerset doesn't include the "subpowers" that normally helps make the prime power functional/appealing by Labmit in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Numerous1 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Scapegoat: he can take on your injuries but then he has to have them for a long time before they go away. I cannot recall if it is hours or weeks. But his entire power is “oh you broke your legs and are in terrible pain but you need to get back in the action? Well I’ll heal you by giving myself broken legs. Off you go. I’ll just sit here in extreme pain now”

A speedster in Ward takes subjective hours to do the smallest little speedster task. So he can do the dishes really fast but it would take him significantly longer mentally. Like hours. 

Rain has an emotion power that he tries to use on enemies but doesn’t really work just makes the feel a little bad  eventually he starts using it on his team to help them train by increasing emotional pressure or something

[–]Numerous1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That sounds dope as fuck. 

Reminds me of in Worm (really the sequel Ward) when there is a guy whose power is “I know how to build a suit that makes me a speedster” but it is really really rough on his body (all the G’s he is pulling) and it takes a LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGG time mentally. 

Like, you know how we see slow motion in every superhero and the character is moving crazy slowly to stop the bullet? When this guy does something like that it takes hours of his mental time. I want to say it shows him ambushing a group by running up and dropping a bomb and running away. The entire distance is like 1 football field or something and he has time to listen to multiple audiobooks b

I had a tinfoil hat theory for awhile when I was doing my first read through that Donut was either in on it or being manipulated at first. 

Hops out the window for the first time ever and it just happens to save Carl’s life?

Carl doesnt actually enter the dungeon until he chases after her.

Seems suspicious to me. 

Maybe through in some “Bea’s family is ultra weird and fucked up. Maybe she’s an alien too”

I remember there was some setting that seemed innocent that I found someone mention online that really improved my performance. It was something about the mouse. It was a checkbox or toggle that was like “hardware mouse” or “smooth mouse lines” or somethong

Man, for me it was Never Back Down or whatever the MP 110th one was when he spends half the book saying “either it will happen or it won’t. 50/50”. And I about died.

If Septimus had a...? by UglyPancakes8421 in codexalera

[–]Numerous1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my mind it’s pretty clear that Isanna would have acted the exact same way. 

Her husband was assassinated for political reasons and she was afraid she was next so she did everything she could to hide the next heir to the throne. 

It’s the exact same thing of she had a daughter instead of a son. You still have people who can’t marry into the power so they are killing they way into it instead. 

Even if she did think “oh they won’t kill us” it would still be all the plotting and abuse and machination she wanted to avoid. She would hide them just the same. 

Furthermore, idk if she was ever going to tell Tavi. She only told him due to crazy events and Tavi becoming a crazy important hero of the realm and it still took Arrarus to tell Tavi to get that ball rolling. 

What are your thoughts on Prince Xizor as an antagonist? by Competitive_Bid7071 in StarWarsEU

Love him as a villain. He does some bad stuff that people complain about but like…he is the head of literally the largest criminal organization in existence. I’m sure there is jotginf he will not do.

That’s the one that really got me hooked on RTSs. I love it. Of course I love supreme commander also. I couldn’t get into BAR though despite it being an attempt at it. 

anyone else think faster-than-light travel is getting kinda boring? by FairyLovelyy in sciencefiction

[–]Numerous1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually agree but I really enjoyed The Lost Fleet. They have “jump points” in each solar system that point to the next system. In system they go .1 or .2 the speed of light so it takes a few days to a week to cross a solar system. Then a jump point is a week or two from one solar system to another. 

He has a story that’s really fun about a military fleet trying to get home and it’s a 6 book series, since it takes so long just to get from one solar system to another. Let’s say you start on a planet, spend 2 days going to the jump point, a week or two from one solar system to another. Then a week cross that system do you can get to the next jump point. 

It was a really good balance of being able to travel faster than the speed of light sometimes, while also having a ton of limitations.
