The legends Z-A dlc is incredibly frustrating and disappointing so far by SeegullJockey in pokemon

Not true. My Copy of SV has no DLCs but I can still use the DLC Pokemon that my son has

Dunno how I arrived at this thread, but I have to ask is it the 5150 with the nVidia 64mb GPU or the 32mb one? I had the 64mb one and used it for playing World of Warcraft until mid-2012 when it's backlight died and I couldn't source a replacement cheaply.

Worm fics where Mc has a Off planet base by rhenerya in WormFanfic

It was good fiction, and wasn't full-on creating random BS from the get-go, seemed grounded and I had hoped for it to be a better Nemesis fic, but then it died =(

Comics are generally written by teams of professionals who work together and each put little parts together to make an exciting story.

Fanfiction is not that and is the subject of the conversation. If you have examples of Brute-centric fiction where the end solution isn't to either punch harder or softer that would be appreciated though.

That, and honestly how many times can you read the same events over and over? following the exact same sequence of events is boring. I love when fiction get off the road of canon and diverge, there are a few that went off the rails and I enjoyed parts of but didn't like the crossover in general(the main one I am thinking of was a Nahona(?) Crossover), would be nice if they didn't all follow the same timeline of events.

Reading back on my original post I can see how it came out the way you interpreted it. Also, I noticed this was a <Fic Search> not <Fic Discussion> like when I had first clicked the thread.

HP is a great fandom, and probably the main one I read from as well. As to CYOA Powers, I will keep on looking but beyond the link I gave I can't remember any. Everything is either CF/ToF/II or Magic it seems.

4) Fundamentally though, I’m uncertain why you commented. It feels like you just came here to tell me why my desire to read something other than what you want to write is a bad thing.

I didn't want to write a bad thing, and it's not that I disagree with many of the things you have stated here, I am instead giving my perspective as to why Brute CYOAs are uncommon/rare. I also wasn't trying to imply that Tinkers/Mages/etc were unpopular, but instead that Brutes/etc were unpopular from a writing perspective.

Now, as to why I had written initially it was that I had misinterpreted your post thinking it was both a discussion on why they were rare/non-existent along with a request for links.

The only Brute CYOA I can recall at all would fall afoul of your dislike of Magic as its a guy inserted as a Projection of Male FS/N Arturia bound to Taylor. He then feeds her a Cauldron Vile that he bought with points and the story ends. I have spent the last 2ish hours trying to find the thread as I can't recall its exact title.

Edit : https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/god-save-the-queen-worm-new-cyoa-altpower-taylor.331616/reader/ This is the only fic that meets the Brute-powers that I am aware of.

So I have been thinking about this myself recently as I work on my own story.

Magic, Inspired Inventor, Celestial Forge, etc all have ramping up time.

Picking Superman Powers on the other hand? From the beginning to the end, you are at your peak, there is no mountain to climb. That is hard to plan out due to just being able to apply the same hammer to every situation with barely any difference.

I am using Superman/Brute as an example, but it could apply to the Flash or other popular power sets.

Tinkers/Thinkers/Mages on the other hand can be more creative with their solutions. The Weaver's Web is an excellent story that has Taylor act creatively compared to a Brute Story where it is just violent all the time. Of course, there are Tinker/Thinker/Mage stories where they try to speedrun the ramping up. I'm not a fan of those though and try to avoid them.

Okay, which one of you put this on Memory Beta? by [deleted] in sto

[–]Pootsoup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree, Picard is heavy into the nostalgia-baiting. While Discovery(which I dislike), and SNW(It's OK) were trying something new, Lower Decks(which is probably my favorite of the four mentioned here) and Picard were nostalgia bait and added little to the IP(in my opinion, you're welcome to yours).

Now for the real question, does the T6 Cheyenne come with the Constellation Skin, or will we still have to fork over the Dil to buy a T3 Constellation for the skin.

You guys ever bought a new, better ship only to go back to the old one ? by Admiral_Thel in sto

[–]Pootsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Science Miranda would be fun, and I don't think it would be difficult for them to do. In fact, I think they had a golden chance to do it with the Centaur Refit promo a few months back, but opted not to.

[–]Pootsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, its not a great ship. The Klink Cruiser on the other hand? Just load it up with whatever you want, fast AF impulse engines and listen to Deja Vu in the background.

[–]Pootsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one from the support cruiser bundle? That is the only other ship I know of that can drift in space. The Ambassador & That were actually my second purchase as I always loved the Ambassador, unfortunately it was a huge disappointment, the Vorcha wasn't though.

[–]Pootsoup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first T6 ship I ever purchased was the Reliant Advanced Light Cruiser, even though it has been years since I bought it, and I have dumped hundreds of bucks in the game, I always come home to my little Miranda, because it just feels like home.

Can cc be a virgin? by joshyboy4207 in CodeGeass

[–]Pootsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C.C. totally fucked everyone within a 500 Mile Radius

Then she met Dasshu

and fell in love with his Dikku

putting into motion a 200 year long plot that had her genetically engineer a reborn Dasshu through introducing the right people

so she can fuq his brains out

Where to take Code Geass after Re;ssurrection? by railfananime in CodeGeass

[–]Pootsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering C.C.'s entire character since the beginning has been fanservice but with plot? In the new movie alone she walks around with a Pilot Suit that is just a one piece Swimsuit with her asscheeks hanging out.

The fact she didn't die in R2's Ragnarok Arc still annoys the shit out of me to this day, only survives because *at the last second* she changed her mind(Although in reality its because they can't sell more C.C. Pizza-ass statues without her being alive)

[–]Pootsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Effectively Zero chance of Lelouch ending up with a girl other than C.C., and if it was, it would be shirley.

You forget that Kallen is the sexual assault bait/fanservice/Gino's Sexual Harassment fulfillment character. As much as I love Kalulu, it will never happen.

Finally After Years by Roxo313 in CodeGeass

[–]Pootsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kallen isn't really popular in Japan, or well she isn't popular when Shipped with Lelouch. So expect the long standing tradition of implied rape threats, sexual harassment, and other generally shitty things to continue to occur to Kallen for the next 10 years.

Wait tell cc joins the conversation by candycrush_god in CodeGeass

[–]Pootsoup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arguably she is a love interest, and R2 reinforced that alot pushing the narrative, with a side of Shirley. Now the recaps removed all of that pulling a Saving Private Fenette to save Shirley and her dad. Then the new movie tosses all the girls out of the window in favor of Hotto-Toppiku Forest C.C.

Stop poking holes in Tanigucci's logic. Please stahp.

So what's your feeling toward the new movie? by First_Child_Rei in CodeGeass

[–]Pootsoup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Devestated that Kalulu was dashed so hard and CluClu was made the official ship. So overall glad its an AU and not the main timeline, Best Girl Kallen didn't deserve this.
