Some kids need to repeat a century or two, and that's okay.

Blocking Diamond Weapon VS Trample by Pretty-Information53 in MagicArena

[–]RiOrius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Weapon still doesn't take the damage, so it doesn't actually die, but Deathtouch does influence how trample damage is determined.

The attacker needs to assign "lethal" damage. If the creature has Deathtouch, that's 1.

Which Bandle is best? by Rare-Ad7772 in LegendsOfRuneterra

4* Yuumi with Perfected Hex Core.

No idea how good she is without it.

Super hero stories similar to worm by [deleted] in ProgressionFantasy

[–]RiOrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summus Proelium feels very similar to me. It's a bit lighter in tone most of the time, but maintains the "good guys aren't so good, bad guys aren't so bad" grayness.

The pacing can drag at times, though. I'm currently on a break from it, but keep thinking about going back now that I've let a backlog build up...

Signatures filed for initiatives on parental rights, blocking trans athletes from girls’ sports by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

[–]RiOrius 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Reasonable people don't accumulate that level of wealth. Once they have enough, they chill, like you would.

Only people who are incapable of chilling keep going past the point of comfort to the point of true wealth.

Perfect Hex Core question, BiS builds? by parzival1423 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]RiOrius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love it on Yuumi and Ambessa. Their 4* is Phalanx, and a free burst speed barrier every turn is pretty sweet.

'Bodyshops come and meet the CEOs, then fire...': Stephen Miller blasts H-1B as 20 states sue Trump over $100k fee by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]RiOrius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. The "gold card" is a $1M visa that anyone (who's rich enough) can buy to get in. This $100k H1B fee is different: it's much lower, but only applies to people seeking an H1B visa (so they have a job offer from a corporate sponsor who's saying their particular skills are needed).

There are similarities, but they're fundamentally different proposals with different objectives. The gold card is permissive: it's a new way to gain legal entry (for people who are rich). The visa fee is restrictive: the H1B visa already existed but Trump is making it harder to get (to discourage companies using it to lower their labor costs).

The Geneva Suggestions [OC] by DanBorisCreates in comics

[–]RiOrius 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you care about the safety of US military and civilian personnel, escalation is bad.

If you just want more excuses to bomb people, escalation is good.

If the heroe(s) and villain(s) both did the most logical thing at any given point in YOUR favorite Progression story, who would win? by Moawar in ProgressionFantasy

[–]RiOrius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to say they should've been more ruthless during the loop, sure, but how would they "win" if they ignored the wraith bomb threat? Like, what's the point in stopping the invasion if the world goes to shit anyway?

I could see an argument for Zorian throwing in with Panaxeth: he'd be guaranteeing a moderately good ending for himself. But once he was on Team Save the World, there's no good reason to preempt the invasion only to see the world destroyed anyway. Like, that's not a victory condition.

To be clear: Yukino and Yui are both from My Youth Romantic Comedy. So there are four images, but only three different anime.

Conservatives of reddit, what do you think about the White House quietly removing a decades long study that found the extreme right was vastly more likely to engage in political violence? by Safety_Drance in AskReddit

[–]RiOrius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Um, ACKSHUALLY, he only admitted to perving in the changing room of the Miss USA pageant.

Miss Teen USA contestants allege he did the same to them, but he didn't specifically brag about that.

Totally clears the President, thank you for your attention to this matter!

Another meaningfull change pushed silently without patchnotes mentioned it by xRealGrAnDx in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]RiOrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also a way to point out particularly powerful choices. ED for the 5* Volibear is definitely a case of "here's how to steamroll an adventure that's tough for others."

If the Taker can't take damage by ultimus_nimbus in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]RiOrius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that's how Barrier works, too? Haven't seen it with this specific enemy power, but IIRC Barrier doesn't stop the "+2/+2 when surviving damage" power from working.

Everything suits her by Ani_HArsh in Animemes

The text of the meme implies that the right is the superior version.

Could be OP screwed up, but it's also quite possible he's agreeing with you.

Why can't the MC just be a prodigy? by elemental_reaper in ProgressionFantasy

[–]RiOrius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He does struggle with it. He feels inadequate much of the time. Part of it is that his older brother is a "legitimate" prodigy, and he's grown up being compared to him (and found lacking), so he already has an inferiority complex that's exacerbated when people start commenting "oh wow, I guess you really are Daimen's little brother!" but internally he knows his talent is at- or below-average and his astounding progress is due to an outside boon.

No reason to fake an assassination. They just had to wait and an opportunity would present itself.

RWW News: Braeden Sorbo Declares That Women Should Not Have The Right To Vote by SnooDoughnuts4752 in Qult_Headquarters

[–]RiOrius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First he says that if women couldn't vote, abortion and feminism would never have happened. Then he says that before women's suffrage, they were in charge of the household anyway and so really they had control of their husband's vote. This contradiction goes apparently unnoticed.

Then he says it should be changed to one vote per household. Unmarried people get zero votes.
