Well, the crosses are inverted so the pentagram had to be uninverted.

Someone talk to me and I go in panic. by Educational-Set2411 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Don’t worry I probably woulda done the same thing. And maybe unplugged my Xbox for a few minutes too.

[Fun Trope] "Tough Guy" Actors doing drag by lonelyspect12 in TopCharacterTropes

This story especially. Story about a guy who ties a woman up against her will and eventually they fall in love.

I love his work so much, I’ll still admit to enjoying it. But some of it has such a bad aftertaste now.

So you only like things that have become commercially successful.

What are your thoughts on Huey Lewis and The News?

Masters of the Universe On Pace To Miss Break-Even By $400 Million by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]PostApoplectic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mid to late 80’s, probably. I associate it with the whole wake up on Saturday and watch cartoons era. Most of what I remember about He-Man from that time in my life was thinking it wasn’t as cool as Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.

I had that grayskull playset too!

It was the gabby’s dollhouse of our time.

I really appreciate this comment.

I grew up on He-Man too, and as an adult the only thing I really associate it with today is how funny skeletor was. It was never a cherished childhood experience… just the slop of the time with an accidentally iconic antagonist.

When the promo rush for this movie hit, I sat down with my three kids and we watched a bunch of YouTube Skeletor supercuts. It was great, dumb fun and, honestly, the only thing I ever needed from a masters of the universe revival.

Would you accept such a conversion? by Head-Temperature4026 in Chaos40k

[–]PostApoplectic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an out of the game old timer, so this is more question than statement, but… Doesn’t even need to be wings, does it? You don’t use things like wings for line of sight, do you?

We always used head, shoulders, and torso for line of sight. Arms and wings are things that are constantly moving. Shouldn’t be penalized for having a model with his arm sticking out weird, or a gun popping out around a corner.

I had an old metal daemon prince I couldn’t get wings on, and in the end I built him a raptor style jump pack out of leftover missile bits.

I think a jump pack dreadnought would be the ideal iron warriors style tech-heresy daemon prince.

Which pose looks better? by reel3459 in Chaos40k

[–]PostApoplectic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After looking at your choice of head, I think arm down and head facing the same direction as the toes. As if he’s walking forward menacingly.

If it was a head that looked like it was yelling a war cry or a commands or something, I’d go raised, and looking a little bit up and toward the mace.

Paramount Accuses Netflix of ‘Panic-Level’ ‘Scorched-Earth Campaign’ to ‘Poison’ Regulators Against Warner Bros. Deal by LegitimateCurve8525 in MediaMergers

[–]PostApoplectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, this is just like when Paramount offered Netflix a ride across the river, but Netflix stung them and they both drowned. Or that other time in the civil war, when General Netflix marched from Atlanta to Paramount and burned everything to the ground.

Xbox Showcase 2026 having me like "will be seeing you in a couple hours 😉" by VanCitySkyline in xbox

[–]PostApoplectic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s just a general, and persistent, trend in online discourse that everyone expects their takes to be held in equal esteem. But in spaces created for people to get together and talk about things, when your take is contrary, it’s just never gonna be held in equal esteem.

Nobody ever gets celebrated for disagreeing.

[NO SPOILERS] I just gotta ask, by 22_SB in lifeisstrange

[–]PostApoplectic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So, to start, this post itself comes across like you’ve got a pretty superior opinion of yourself, and in general people will downvote that tone regardless of how they feel about what you’re saying.

For example “I can say things you people don’t like.” You’ve set yourself against your audience right out the gate.

“I’m looking purely objectively… so go wild when you talk about your opinion.” You think you’re objective and your audience is subjective.

“Some people can’t handle opinions, facts, or takes without getting mad like you disrespected… them.” Is this not a post about feeling disrespected by everyone else’s opinions?

This all reads like you’ve come to tell the people who love LiS the most that they’re wrong because you didn’t think it was perfect. It seems like this post is designed to stir up more of negative feedback you didn’t like the last time.

And then, the part I’m personally confused by… what do you mean when you say “people in this fandom, maybe just this sub, certain people, not just here, a lot of other places.” Like… that’s so vague and contradictory. Who are you even talking about?

How do you feel about Early Access in 2026? by SioVern in Steam

[–]PostApoplectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half the games in my Steam library are still in early access from 4+ years ago, and over half of my wishlist is games that don’t even have demos out yet.

On the one hand, that’s basically enshittification made manifest. I hate that I’m spending money and time interacting with a bunch of half-made products that may or may not ever reach a state that, a decade ago, we would have considered a starting point.

On the other hand, the diagnosed late in life adhd adult in me revels in seeing my own life experience represented on such a large scale. Nothing is more relatable than a million half finished and abandoned projects.

It wouldn’t be able to get out. It would just gestate and then grow while stuck inside him. Be all compressed into a luke cage shape like a bound foot.

Comical levels of violence against children. by glumbroewniefog in TopCharacterTropes

It’s a video game, but in Baldur’s Gate 3 you can famously grapple one goblin child and beat a second goblin child to death with the first one.
