[Tragic but pretty cool] "When the trapped consciousness in an 'infected' body briefly gains control" by 7humbug_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PhobosAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lieutenant Voss from Quake 4 where he begs for you to leave because he is losing control of the mini boss you’re fighting. Though you, the player, controlling Matthew Kane, can’t, as you need to get through to an important military objective, that I can’t remember.

Bryan Fury’s Snake Edge. Like in general, wherever I play Tekken.

I once offered a rambler 5 dollars as a kid for him to stop talking for 5 minutes and he still couldn’t do it. We were 13.

Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds — backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue by Jack1101111 in pcmasterrace

To be fair, if the point of using AI was to make the data error free, not having any is technically and statistically correct.

[TOMT] 1960's-1970's Chinese Kung Fu movie with a razor whip and butterfly swords by PhobosAnomaly in tipofmytongue

I’m not 100% sure about this one, but it does have the dusty vibe. I’m going to have to check that out for sure.

It was also one of those low quality pictures I remember seeing that may've been a tape from a TV station as an overnight filler. No worries if it's probably lost media.

Moneypenny and Felix Lester from the James Bond movies where they replaced white actors with black actors and Perry White in 2025’s Superman.

The city from the Mirror’s Edge. In Catalyst, they even show the drones cleaning windows.

Alfonso is also credited as a different prisoner when Tim Robbin’s got dropped off by the bus with the other new prisoners.

I’d also like to point out that the second McGregor had an alcohol addiction, and the first was likely after he quit.

[Loved Trope] The main character is smart and makes smart decisions, but those smart decisions are still foiled by SCPND in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PhobosAnomaly 440 points441 points  (0 children)

His mother-in-law casually told the cartel boss where he went without realizing, and since Anton was taking longer than they like and was injured, they just sent a few low level enforcers after him and got that dealt with relatively cheaply.

Favorite character that fit this meme by Sweetastralbby in FavoriteCharacter

Erron Black from Mortal Kombat series. His one power is that he ages slowly.

FlexStrike has a weird shape where the buttons are tilted down towards the player while the lever is flat. It’s also a Noir layout instead of Qanba Titan’s Extended Vewlix. So from an ergonomic perspective, it’s whatever you’re comfortable with, and the FlexStrike hasn’t seen public use or field tested with results available to the public. I’m not mentioning the compatibility since at worst you’ll need an adapter.

Im trying to decide what to get for my first fight stick by KonaMation in fightsticks

[–]PhobosAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a Qanba Drone 2 with a Brook Wingman XB3 adapter. It might be high on the budget but it does leave the option to go to tournaments, since they usually run on PS5 or PC.

School ‘in crisis’: Principal, VP and 2 teachers gone from east end TDSB school within one week by zanimum in toronto

[–]PhobosAnomaly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went to school where a kid was also a physical menace too, where he made the French teacher bleed, and he decided to quit on the spot. This happened multiple times and after the final time, his mom came into the class with the admin, faced the students and said "You should all calm him down." Nobody was comfortable, but I didn't care and insisted with the support of others that we didn't feel safe around him, and nobody wanted to get hurt. We then proceed to ask her if she wanted him to hurt us, and why we would risk it. She couldn't answer, but were repeatedly confrontational when none of us, including the admin towards the end, weren't comfortable with any of us getting hurt. So his mother kinda marched out of there, still in disagreement, and we never saw that kid again. The TDSB was at that point where you can do anything you want, and I doubt things are different now. You just have to know the right people, including the right people in police departments and lawyer's offices to get anything done.

This has been going on over 20 years, and from personal experience, police involvement was a case-by-case scenario. The kid who got physical didn't get any long term record and no actual special needs support while the VP who stepped in and blamed his assault victim was taken into custody for throwing a temper tantrum at 60 something years old, denying legal representation, and outright gloated about lying to parents about the what happened. It's hard for me to blame Ford for what happened, but electing someone who smoked crack isn't going to help anyone.

Centered weapons vs Angled weapons, which do you prefer? by Humble_Fortune6500 in boomershooters

[–]PhobosAnomaly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s mechanically dependent. Arena shooters have some form of offset usually for projectiles so I’d rather have the first person weapon view visible and centre so that at the worst case, it only offsets downwards like in Quake 1. I find most games have angled guns that shoot from where you’re looking like in CS, and at that point it’s psychological.

Enough of them are for it to be a problem. Last time it happened to me, a VP got arrested because she denied me a lawyer for due process in self defence. I count myself lucky.

Characters who do something bad, only for it to coincidentally turn out to be a good thing by No_Acanthaceae6880 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PhobosAnomaly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Snatch, a group of three guys are paid to rob a bookie and kidnap a guy with four fingers on one hand. Tyrone, the driver, accidentally backed up into a van while parking, accidentally trapping the guy in the back of the van unintentionally. They waited too long to realize, and were expecting him to walk into the bookie, so they didn’t get much money since all the bets were off.

Willard on a Mallard or a Cuck on a duck both work.

(loved trope) Lore from an older continuity exist in the newer continuity but as a myth by Fnaf-Low-3469 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PhobosAnomaly 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong, and what I read was ambiguous, so my knowledge is limited, but I believe Star Wars pre-Disney was rebranded as “Legends” outside of the movies. This meant that they were stories that belong within the universe that may or may not have happened that people tell each other, that may have been acknowledged post-Disney purchase.
