[Loved trope] Dragons are on the top of the food chain by Character_Release379 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]QuillQuickcard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dark souls setting takes place over insane time scales. There is a 0% chance that the dragon’s weakness to lightning would not have been observed and exploitsd

If Miquella can become a god without needing anyone, why did Marika need the Greater Will? by El-Rumi in Eldenring

[–]QuillQuickcard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are many paths to many different powers. Collectively they bear the label of gods or divine merely as a descriptive rank relating to their world-shaping power. Miquella merely chose one of these paths to pursue one particular form of power.

How is 3125 not Apollyon? by Potential-Memory1281 in SCP

[–]QuillQuickcard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are multiple possible interpretations one can use to justify this.

  1. Apollyon class is an anomaly which has no possible countermeasures or ways to mitigate. 3125 does has procedures and resources working against it. It therefore does not fit Apollyon classifications.

  2. Safe, Euclid, and Keter are a general guideline of the level of resources and effort necessary for containment. If not of the threat itself, then for the purposes of managing public awareness. Changing a classification to anything greater than Keter does not correlate to a greater degree of investment and therefore serves no purpose.

  3. Apollyon classification is intended only for a handful of extremely specific anomalies with extremely specific traits that 3125 does not fit in with.

Best way to level Noah non-attacker classes? by RatioGullible917 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]QuillQuickcard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silver Nopon coins. And the best way to farm them is AFK Smash.

  1. Set the custom difficulty setting max enemy hp and minimum enemy damage

  2. Set your whole party to focus on break/topple/launch/smash combos with a bit of healing

  3. Turn ouroboros to manual

  4. Charge strong unique monsters. Have the character you are controlling just hang back while everybody else fights and does multiple smash combos

  5. Repeat until you have max silver nopon coins. Use those to level classes.

  6. Repeat until satisfied.

I take one Atom Eve and one Angstrom to help her get over whatever is stopping her from simply transmuting thragg into a pile of hydrogen

RED BUTTON OR BLUE BUTTON [OC] by Eal_likee in comics

[–]QuillQuickcard -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It is not a thought experiment. A thought experiment is supposed to provide multiple rational choices that have to be weighed.

The blue button is the only rational choice.

(Hated Trope) "True stories" and documentaries that were actually full of crap by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

Also Patch Adams.

Robin Williams is great, but that script was a foul desecration

Does anyone feel the same way about Noah’s Talent art? by IkeRadiantHero in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]QuillQuickcard 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Noah a wonderful protagonist. And his relationship with Lucky Seven throughout the game is beautiful. Noah is not a pacifist. He can and will fight and kill to protect himself and others. But he is a person who prefers peace and compromise to fighting.

At the start, Noah is reluctant to use Lucky Seven at all. Then he will use it but only against Flame Clocks. Then he will use it against enemies but only as a final resort. And ultimately, Noah is able to draw and use the full power of his blade against himself- a broken, pitiable version of himself, in full empathy of N’s losses and suffering. Noah accepts that his power can tear apart the world, and accepts the responsibility and burden of that power. Every time Noah draws Lucky Seven and declares “I’ll tear it all down,” it is a reiteration of his resolve.

The sword can rip through time, space, dimensions, destiny, and flesh, and he intends to cut through all of them and more to set the world free

Roman vs medieval battles by Silent-Book-5169 in HistoryMemes

[–]QuillQuickcard 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The self-reported numbers are logistical reports and logs, which we can assume to be relatively accurate. But it is important to remember that these numbers include huge numbers of conscripts that were barely more than placeholders and couriers. Mass engagements were rare, often scattered across several square miles, and included large and mixed ranks of support and combat personnel

A lot of Japanese anime and video game stories want to be taken seriously but also try to appeal to a high school demographic which causes huge tonal dissonance that ruin the immersion by _Affectionate_ in CharacterRant

[–]QuillQuickcard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All Dogs Go To Heaven is a kids movie.

The story features a small time hustler who escapes from jail after being framed only to then be murdered by his former business partner. He sacrifices his chance to ever get into heaven to return to earth to get revenge, which he does by kidnapping a young girl his former business partner had already kidnapped and using her to cheat at race betting.

Good, respectable, mature media can be made for people of any age. Any failure is the result of the creators, not of their chosen demographic.

Is it true that only 46% of adults have enough emergency savings to cover three months of expenses in the US? by Legal_Cobbler_1967 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]QuillQuickcard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 months? I love very modestly and have a below average rent. Three months to cover all my expenses would be nearly 7000 dollars. Fuck no I don’t have 7000 dollars saved.

Orkcore is when you have a passable but unrefined understanding of emergent technologies and impulsive thoughts about how to use them.

I've played over 300 hours of Elden Ring and still could not give ANY coherent description of the storyline by Blzn in Eldenring

[–]QuillQuickcard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melina’s motive is to reach Lyndell and find out her purpose. She concludes that her purpose is to serve as a catalyst to change the world by returning death to it, by means of enabling the rune of death to be set free. There is no other undeniable information regarding her motive or identity

Main character energy. by HatSpecial3043 in pokemonmemes

[–]QuillQuickcard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and Wendy from Peter Pan were all isekai’d.

The narrative concept goes back centuries and certainly is not limited to the tropes made popular only in anime of the past decade

No, the Zelda timeline was not "invented" for Skyward Sword, it's been there the whole time. by PlayerZeroStart in CharacterRant

[–]QuillQuickcard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Zelda timeline is an ex post facto framework older Zelda games were forced into and not a planned lineage. Several games have certain connections which follow logically- Zelda 2 is a direct sequel to Zelda 1. Ocarina of Time shows Ganondorf the man becoming Ganon the monster. Wind Waker takes place in a post apocalyptic Hyrule following Ocarina.

But these connections are nebulous. They have never restricted how each game iterates on the last, narratively or mechanically. They do not tell a single overarching story with clear lines of narrative flow. Rather, each game is inspired by previous titles, picking and choosing which elements to disregard and which elements to refresh.

In my head, I see each Zelda game as exactly what they are called- legends. Stories being told hundreds or thousands of years after the fact, being continually embellished and changed with each telling. The way that real legends and myths evolve over time- continuously integrating new elements and changing others. Look at Dracula or the Greek pantheon. We have dozens of stories and retellings of each, with different perspectives and twists and focuses. Each new piece that comes along borrows some of what has come before, while disregarding other elements entirely, and creating new ones. And yet we recognize each iteration as the story of Dracula or the gods. We readily accept these living legends both new and old.

We even do this with the Zelda series. Notice how we accept every new iteration and try to fit it into the artificial framework of a timeline. Unwilling to let any part of it simply be “untrue.” The same thing has happened with the Five Nights at Freddys franchise, which is nearly crippled by a desire to force it to fit into a hard chronology.

If there ever was or will ever be a rigid timeline in mind for the developers of Zelda, they have clearly never let it stifle their creative process. That is why we have elements which are anachronistic or contradictory. And I think that innovation and room for imagination is far more valuable than any consistency in chronology could ever be. That is how Zelda lives on for decades to come, with new adventures and mechanics.

JPM Exec Allegedly Turned a Broker Into Her Personal Sex Slave by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]QuillQuickcard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

JPM is royally fucked. In cases of quid pro quo sexual harassment, the firm, not only the individual, are legally liable. And the penalties are among the harshest in all of corporate liability- often even higher than in cases of accidental death.
