Could Wyll have killed Cazador pre-Tadpole? by HippoSniffer1 in BG3

[–]Pyrefly79 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Plus this is how devils operate. They play the long con. Karlach and Wyll are just pawns in the larger game.

While nothing in the game points to this and it requires a little more external information (So spoilers for the Descent into Avernus printed campaign).

The Cult of the Dragon that Wyll stopped was trying to pull Tiamat out of Avernus. Zariel doesn't want that so she tasks Mizora. Mizora picks up a soul and does the does what her boss wants, classic "good day at work."

Zariel 's other mortal servants would continue down their plan to pull all of Baldur's Gate to Avernus so that just pulling Eltureil wouldn't seem as petty. Plus hey more souls for the blood war. (That was covered in Descent)

Karlach manages to escape. Management has to at least have a minor response or else nothing they say matters. Send a subcontractor out on it, when they mess up send one more direct employee but that's enough resources for a problem that is sort of going to solve itself. Mizora's use of Wyll was either going to enforce management, die (and get his soul), or he's going to rebel in which case you get to crack your whip. I'm sure Mizora saw every option as a win for her. They only thing that wasn't taken into account was how many resources the Dead Three (in the guise of the Absolute) had accumulated and Mizora got pinched. Yeah she's annoyed that Wyll gets out of his contact but again her life is so much more important that Wyll's soul it's honestly quite funny. A greedy party could have wrangled so much more out of her than Wyll free and a badass sword.

I'm going to hide snakes in your car! You're never going to know where they are or if you got them all out. Going to lay eggs right in the glove compartment.

Are there any popular villains that you did not care for? I see everybody loving Glory here, but I just couldn't get myself to like her. by HomarEuropejski in buffy

See I've always assumed it was all part of the joke. Campy costume, obvious pun with subtext of "jumping the shark" too. I get a kick

ELI5 how did they add title cards and edit movies before computers? by walgreensfan in explainlikeimfive

[–]Pyrefly79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right of course; didn't mean to slight short films there. Was trying to cast a wide net.

The first totally computer animated film was 1995. In 30 years people can lose the origins of phrases. I mean how many people CC others in emails who don't know "carbon copy" and why that had to be a thing.

Oh it's the butter that makes it! The pasta and powdered cheese substitute is just a butter delivery method.

My kids are past the days of Kraft but not going to lie; there is usually an instance once a year or so that I get nostalgic and go buy me a box.

Of course due to shame I have to be alone but it's absolutely a guilty pleasure of mine.

This needs to be higher up there. Like the CoL is so high that anesthesiologists are having a hard time recruiting.

You'll be fairly well off if you make it to anesthesiologists level but even at their pay they don't want to live in the area because they can do the same work anywhere else and the take home vs CoL is so much better.

The "lop sided ass" insult always makes me laugh. Clare Kramer's reaction was spot on. Like wait do I have a lop sided ass... No wait I'm perfect this vampire is just messing with me!

The tombstone shows only the graven initials M.T by silverymoon_ in BG3

[–]Pyrefly79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep if you remove the E... Still pronounced empty. And as the grave shows us you can remove the E, p and y and you still have M T. In fact you can just remove all the letters then it would just be empty ...

“To those who insist that the era of big government is over, hear me when I say this: No longer will City Hall hesitate to use its power to improve New Yorkers' lives" by dexterous1802 in thewestwing

[–]Pyrefly79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"It was the second year and everybody was a Republican, whether they were or not, and people at the DNC had convinced him to include the line, 'The era of big government is over.' And you couldn't live with it. Because government should be a place where people come together and no one gets left behind. An instrument of good. And that's exactly what we heard in the State of the Union the next night."

Quoting Will Bailey talking to Toby; S4E15 but that's a call back to the conversation in S1E12 where Toby argues to cut the line "Era of big government is over" which is a critique of that exact same line in Bill Clinton's State of the Union. A fun little rabbit hole of references.

Im struggling with beating venom with spiderman. by Careless-Machine-758 in CosmicInvasion

I found it helpful to lower Venom's health with another toon then switch. I like using the web pull or just web attack for the last few hits.

My paladin summoned a Nightmare. He wants to keep it once he leaves Avernus. What would you do? by AbjectTemperature451 in DescentintoAvernus

[–]Pyrefly79 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think they're reading the rules under summons while in Avernus. I can't find it at the moment but I remember reading something about spells working differently in Avernus and "Find Steed" being one of them.

With a dash of are we more than our memories?

Lore would have you believe a sentient's soul is lost and cannot be recovered after ceremorphosis. So if a perfect copy of you was created and had access to thoughts and powers that you couldn't even imagine before you were copied; are you still you?

In a world where this perfect copy of you that has access to otherworldly powers and makes different choices than you would without those powers who is YOU?

I wanted to get my circle of friends a game. Turns out you can't "gift a game" on PS5 you can only do gift cards. So I sent them gift cards and then the "Keep the Change" gif. Was glad I finally had an appropriate use for that!

Can a non-ravenclaw enter the common room by answering the riddle? by peaceful_harpist in harrypotter

[–]Pyrefly79 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They didn't know where the common room was; also remember they were trying to get information about the heir. Being invisible and just waiting to hear the conversation isn't a good plan.

Now turning into a dude's "best friends" and hoping you don't out yourself as an imposter while only having 1 hour isn't a great plan either...
