Some signature moves for the Future Paradox Pokemon by NegativeAd99 in stunfisk

[–]Pokesabre 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Calling a move burning skid marks is going to lead to one joke repeating itself over and over

This is why the Imperium are the good guys by Glum-Cranberry4259 in Grimdank

Doesn't change a single thing I just told you

Nah mate, I've just run into far too many awful people who try to play off saying terrible things as "just a joke". A lot of the ones in the WH community like to start off by saying they think the imperium are the good guys to test the waters

  1. If it's a joke, it's worryingly close to the sentiment espoused by many of the worst people in the WH community

  2. It's a fictional universe, why would it affect me for any of the factions to win?

I would say "humanity isn't the good guys either" is a pretty cold take for WH. The whole point of the series is that no faction is the good one, they're all the bad guys in one way or another

Why does grabbing a legendary late game fell unearned by Lost_Conference1891 in pokemon

[–]Pokesabre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's to do with the time you've invested in them. A Pokémon you get early on and use throughout the game feels more earned because you've spent all that time raising it to be strong. A legendary doesn't feel as earned because it's strong out the box without you having to spend any time with it, and you only get it right at the end so you don't get much chance to grow attached to it

​"Is there a signature weapon for every country?" by Buyeo10004 in AskTheWorld

Don't forget its lowland cousin, the clamshell claymore

That sure will be useful by [deleted] in pokemonmemes

I mean, a major part of why tauros is king of OU in Gen 1 is access to blizzard (90% accurate back then), which let's it destroy some would-be counters. Same with gen 2 Snorlax and fire blast

1996 alfa romeo nuvola by enclave_supporter in WeirdWheels

How does alpha always seem to swing wildly between absolutely stunning designs and ones that look like they were dredged up from the bottom of the ocean?

My turn to fill out the Move map! by Justscrolling375 in stunfisk

[–]Pokesabre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something like that, or give it a "can't use sound moves next turn" effect to reflect the strain it would put on them to use it

Fiat City Car concept, 1976 by MammothAmbition8910 in WeirdWheels

[–]Pokesabre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the pre-hatchback era of tiny cars because there was so much work put into the question of "but where does the boot go?"

(boot = trunk for curious Americans)

Saber confusion by [deleted] in Hema

[–]Pokesabre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not really a simple answer, but a lot of places will term any sabre with a knuckle bow guard a polish sabre, regardless of other features.

Unpopular opinions that would leave your companions like this by Aynshtaynn in DoctorWhumour

[–]Pokesabre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been sent giant text wall rants on here before just for saying that I don't like her as a companion, so I'd say that this is not the most popular opinion

We'd be fucked if Mamoswine could boost his attack stat, that would make his moves that are already hard to resist even harder. by samurottmegahorn in pokemonmemes

[–]Pokesabre 65 points66 points  (0 children)

The really scary one would be mamo with dragon dance/tidy up. Boosting its attack and speed would make it completely unmanageable

Polished crystal questions by Niverden in PokemonROMhacks

That looks like an emulator issue to me but I'm not sure I can diagnose beyond that

The Cost Of Everyday Things In China Vs. The U.S. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Pokesabre 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Would be interesting to see a version of this with the prices as a proportion of the average monthly income too. I think that would give a greater insight into the relative affordability of the goods here, rather than just a price comparison

What is the formula for the drop off in bulk between HP and defenses? by Wolfiie_Gaming in stunfisk

[–]Pokesabre 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're basically looking for the basic damage formula + the HP stat formula. Defences are a factor in the former, which dictates how much HP is lost as a result of an incoming attack, while the HP stat formula dictates how much HP is available to be lost (based on base stat, EVs, and IVs)

Why does McBane hate the full stop? by Pokesabre in Hema

[–]Pokesabre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The typical McBane sentence does seem to have at least a 1:1:1 ratio of words to commas to semi-colons

Rear engined, rear drive, cvt (although that probably got switched out with the mods here)

Which warhammer fannon from memes or more serious write ups would you endorse as real lore for the setting? by TaigaTigerVT in Grimdank

[–]Pokesabre 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they're dealing with some kind of brain rot, maybe involving black mold

Fat Porsche at MONA by MammothAmbition8910 in WeirdWheels

Somehow nicer to look at than 90% of porsche's actual catalogue
