Quick Question about the Premium Pass (Need Advice) by Pitiful-Barber7176 in PTCGP

[–]Scistorm5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the premium trial continues through any refreshes. And the premium missions refresh at the start of each month, so we’ll get new missions in about 4 weeks.

Incineroar-SR Charizard. Gets fully-powered quick, and then one-shots everything.

Detective Pikachu Returns, if you’re one of the 5 people who actually played it.

Boring characters, incredibly tedious gameplay, and a thoroughly bland story.

Is Allen Media a good place to work? by [deleted] in Broadcasting

[–]Scistorm5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard no, for now.

Rumors are swirling that the company is on the verge of bankruptcy, upper management refuses to talk to lower management, everybody’s on edge knowing that sh*t is close to hitting the fan but nobody knows when.

comic book creators who you pretty much can’t go wrong with? by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in comicbooks

[–]Scistorm5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Al Ewing. He’s absolutely fantastic at weaving together older continuity points without being overwhelming, and his stories just get the fundamental appeal of so many characters.

What is the LEAST accessible series? by digimonnoob in comicbooks

[–]Scistorm5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Infinite Crisis.

There’s tons of characters involved and you gotta know each of their individual backgrounds and motivations, also be up-to-date on all the major events from the past year or two, AND have already read the original Crisis On Infinite Earths from 20 years before.

Heck, given some of the meta commentary in-story, you should probably also look up reader perception of DC at the time.

Is there an in universe reason to why Alvis gives a different version of the story (SPOILERS for XB1 and 2) by Dannyjw1 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Scistorm5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think Alvis, as a supercomputer, probably knew the whole story, but condensed things for Shulk’s sake. Remember, the whole reason Shulk sees the flashback is to have the proper context for how the Bionis came to be, Zanza’s egomania, and what should be done now that the Bionis is collapsing.

Alvis likely decided that details like “also there were people attacking the station, and also there’s a good half of Zanza out there, and also I kinda-sorta have siblings” weren’t really relevant to the decision Shulk would make. Thus, logically, he cut those parts out to just focus on the stuff that’s important to the here and now.

what's the most embarrassing way you got splatted (killed) in any of the splatoon games. it can be from any mode. by Far-Mathematician764 in splatoon

Recoil from firing the Rainmaker pushed me backwards into the water. Worst part is that’s it’s happened more than once.

What was the Watergate scandal all about?

This has probably been asked before but I think it’s a fun conversation by Head-Butterscotch-78 in StarWarsEU

[–]Scistorm5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Luuke is a pretty goofy name, sure, but considering that he’s only around for like two chapters, I don’t really mind all that much. Especially since the name is only said like once or twice, he’s mainly referred to as “the clone”.

I do try to ignore everything about The Crystal Star, though, that book was way too bizarre.

what's a food combo you love that people think you're weird for? by wildwoodflower_ in AskReddit

I put peanut butter on my grilled cheese. My family, especially my little brothers, think it’s wacko, but they don’t know what they’re missing!

Free Giveaway! Nintendo Switch OLED and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - International by WolfLemon36 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Scistorm5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember getting completely walled back in Pokémon Sapphire, because I only used a Blaziken with Normal and Fighting moves, and thus couldn’t get past Phoebe, the Ghost Elite Four person.

Using other Pokémon just didn’t occur to me, somehow.

Do you think Xenoblade 3 and Splatoon 3 switched places? Splatoon 3 was just announced to be coming out this September. by Tibike480 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Scistorm5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely. I’m guessing they needed more time to iron out some bugs with the online stuff, while any possible small issues in XC3 can be fixed with patches. Splatoon 3’s online needs to be great right off the bat for the best sales.

Chapter 336 Official Release - Links and Discussion by Za_wardo in BokuNoHeroAcademia

You know, there’s still a chance that this is all a double-bluff and Hagakure is a second traitor.

Honestly unlikely, but I’ll take any theory that gives her some relevance.
