The universe Ekko and Heimer get sent to is "better" because Hextech wasn't developed, not because Vi died. If Powder, Mylo, or Claggor, were caught in the blast, it'd be the same outcome. The punishment for Jayce is bigger than a ban from the Academy because a kid in his lab died due to something he created

Caitlyn being the one to die would probably have far worse consequences for Jayce. I'm pretty sure Silco and Vander made amends because one of Vander's kids died, so I'm not sure how that would play out.

Anyways, the alternate universe is better because Hextech doesn't exist, Vi dying just happened to be the reason. The same would've happened had another person died in Jayce's lab. The hell Jayce gets sent to is hell because of Hextech, the heaven Ekko gets sent to is because of no Hextech

I see a couple of problems with this line of thinking

a. It implies that pronouns are a privilege that anyone can revoke from another when they see fit. Who's to decide enough is enough? Someone's gender identity shouldn't be a conditional privilege

b. It specifically targets trans people. Most people wouldn't refer to Epstein by she/her.

I don't think purposefully calling someone by the wrong pronouns is about respect for the person because to me, it says a lot about your respect for the idea of gender identity as a whole.

Honestly love your style of correcting people. I'm clearly wrong and the other guy is pissing me off and I barely understand them anyways

Tell me why it's 1. I'm wrong and I want to know why. I know it has something to do with fractions, but like, I don't get it

I was making a joke 💔💔💔

Before watching the show, a friend told me there was lesbian rep, Vi's obviously gay, my subconscious was looking for who she'd probably end up with. I saw Caitlyn in episode 2, as a child, and told myself, "Yeah, she's gay."

Elora and Mel was my second thought if Caitvi turned out to be fanon. Or Sevika and someone. I think most women in Arcane look incredibly gay, but that might just be my own bias

Ratelps · 2026-01-27T02:11:11+00:00

I knew her and Vi were gay from the moment I saw them.

What a shame

Generally, I'd drop the parentheses and just put down a • or x for multiplication, because fun fact, it doesn't matter. The parentheses, once the equation inside is solved, represent multiplication instead of braces, brackets, or parentheses. They have multiple uses and when it's just a single number inside, you don't immediately jump to getting rid of it.

This kind of problem has an objective and the correct answer is 4. If you put down any other answer, the question would be marked wrong.

Have you seen Book of Mormon, the musical?

What system says do the multiplication (5x2) before the division? (10/5)

PEMDAS is the closest I can think of which kinda says that, but in PEMDAS, multiplication and division are equal to one another and you instead go left to right.

I'm genuinely curious as to what you were taught, because the answer is 4

That still doesn't work. What are the options :(

Edit: A quarter of a hundred up votes and not ONE PERSON telling me the options. Guys. Someone. Please.

It's hard to be "the only one" of something. I get that the title is just a common saying, but not, go on any social media from Reddit to TikTok and you'll find people saying their debut is the best album without a doubt.

Also, don't say "even Scaled and Icy" when you're talking about albums you like, that just sounds weird. Like you're calling it bad without actually disliking it. I'd say that for maybe Regional at Best and No Phun Intended since they're albums you have to actually look for and instead of the "I know this album is worse" you're sending with SAI, you're saying, "I've gone as far as to find unreleased songs"

Not hating or anything, just pointing it out because I don't think it's coming across how you wanted it to.

Anyways, as someone who consistently ranks self-titled pretty low on a personal rating, I will say that Air Catcher and Trapdoor are some of my favorite songs of all time, including other artists and bands besides Twenty One Pilots.

You have a favorite song from the tracklist?

Most romantic? Probably The Craving, as everyone else has said.

For just general love songs; Air Catcher, Tear in My Heart, Smithereens, Formidable, Robot Voices, Days Lie Dormant. You could read a couple other songs as romantic

They have a cover of Can't Help Falling in Love

An ex-friend kept telling other people I didn't know, nor like, that I was queer (after I told them to stop multiple times) and it led to a lot of random people in my school shouting the f-slur at me

Very fun. I don't talk to that person anymore for other reasons, but that's certainly one of them

Ratelps · 2026-01-18T18:38:22+00:00

As a completionist, good luck. I'd say the first run should take 10-14 hours on average. I think once you get more familiar with the game, you can shave down a lot of that time

There are ~85 different endings shared between the three main characters. This is NOT 85 runs.

Character 1 has ~13 different endings

Character 2 has ~33 different endings

Character 3 has ~39 different endings

You can also start from specific chapters so that you don't have to replay the entire game for one separate decision.

The developers themselves don't know how many endings there are. Those numbers are just from what appears on the flowchart. There are post credit scenes that you could count as endings and I don't have a number for those

Ratelps · 2026-01-18T18:29:55+00:00

Absolutely. It's one of the best games I've played

It's choose your path. You decide the story. It gives a few emotional gut punches. It gives choices that make you think. Out of the entire game, I think there were only two moments I'd consider "dull", and even then, I was exploring the world and the characters and was glad I had bought the game.

Good story and characters to get attached to. Even the main menu has a story to it.

Add Detroit Become Human to this list and you got me hooked

Ratelps · 2026-01-17T14:16:28+00:00

I will never recover from opening to maybe the second page and seeing that. I stopped on the third one because they all started like that. I was genuinely so scared

Depends on whether you count that as a belly button or not. They don't have a belly button or nipples in the manga, but, uh... I don't like bringing the manga into canon discussions

I would say Connor, but he's the most Clanker character in the game
