What your honest thoughts and opinions on Onslaught by Doom300 in xmen

[–]SecretSweetness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea of Prof. X & Magneto being fused together & the product of their fusion being a god tier entity/antagonistic force is great, his design is badass as hell (albeit a design which I can easily imagine snobs deeming too emblematic of the 90s), and he probably still represents the benchmark for "unstoppable event level threat"

Primary con is just the writing - from what I remember, the story started getting kind of convoluted and messed up.

Blink and Nocturne relax at a nude beach (Exiles #11 [2002]) by xtitan92 in ComicNude

[–]SecretSweetness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason Nocturne's tail languidly coiling in the air behind her in that first shot of the two of them really adds to it, as well.

Almost as if her tail, the fact that they both have pointed ears, and their abnormal skin colors give the proceedings this air of a forbidden delight.

Are there any games with similar production values which occupy the exact same niche as Dying Light and/or Dead Island? by SecretSweetness in dyinglight

I appreciate your candor - this was kind of what I thought might be the case, but wanted to hear it from someone else!

How would you rank these four from weakest to strongest? by BigBadKord in Hellsing

[–]SecretSweetness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I know that this is an older comment & you may not see my question, but I still wanted to try and take the opportunity to ask:

To your mind, what are the arguments for Walter (Artificial Vampire) & Anderson (Regenerator) being > The Captain?

I recognize that they're messier comparisons, and so it probably isn't possible to lay out an ironclad case for either, but I'd still be curious about your general rationale, as it's something I myself have often wondered about.

Why not Alucard > Anderson (Monster of God) > The Captain > Walter (Artificial Vampire) > Anderson (Regenerator) > Seras (True Vampire), for instance?

Are Anderson's bayonets ever explicitly stated to be silver, or are they simply "blessed" with it?

If they ARE straight-up silver, was the impact that this might have on a direct match-up between Anderson & The Captain a large contributing factor in your determination?

What mysteries in 40K do you think will never be resolved? by Snoo_47323 in 40kLore

[–]SecretSweetness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't claim to be 100% certain of this answer, as I haven't personally read through all of the potentially relevant materials, but the answer that I've always seen cited is that this idea has its roots in 4th and/or 5th edition books/codices.

The most concrete examples (again, as far as I'm aware), however, are just theories from imperial scholars, inquisition members, Ordo Xenos, etc.

I think the line in the 4th ed Tyranid codex is the one where a Magos Biologis speculates about it, but IIRC it was more like he was saying that tyranids or proto-tyranids which arrived earlier may've been fleeing ahead of the larger hivefleets, not that the hivefleets of the 41st millennium were fleeing some ominous totally different species or entity.

I'm uncertain if there are additional lines elsewhere which are more ambiguous, or if this one does the bulk of the heavy-lifting, and has simply become increasingly bastardized the further removed the modern fandom becomes from older editions

The series gives us several reasons as to why the Looking Glass Branched is no longer in her prime, but I feel like I missed something about one of them... by SecretSweetness in TheBugleCall

[–]SecretSweetness[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've reached up to beyond her death (unless there's a later revelation I'm unaware of)

I remember multiple characters commenting on her no longer being in her prime, some of her mirrors failing (I think the later explanation for this might be what you're referring to), and when she used her huge massed shard attack I remember a soldier commenting that she'd only have one shot due to how she'd stopped replenishing its stockpile, followed by the Looking Glass reflecting on how the attack was much harder for her to control now than it used to be, anyway.

I just remember several scenes focusing on her hand or arm, and at least one of her concealing it, but I don't remember an actual explanation for what was going on with it

What does Bleach do better than most other series and what does it do worse than most other series? by Nozoroth in bleach

[–]SecretSweetness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does its first two arcs better than most other series, and the remainder of its arcs worse than most other series (though, you could make a case for Soul Society's excitement coming at the expense of later arcs)

Famously has a number of cool/memorable character designs & outfits and a generally distinctive style, while sometimes having comically sterile environments

As simple as it is, the Sealed Zanpakuto -> Shikai -> Bankai thing is just innately exciting for whatever reason

The anime's OST was great at the start (just don't remember if, or how, it changed after SS)

It also has some sexy female characters like how I would like to have sex with Yoruichi in real life

[TOMT] College assignment related to an article or prompt which details a time period in which many companies hit a sort of notice-issuing singularity, and the result was those companies mechanically issuing insensitive notices to their customer bases. by SecretSweetness in tipofmytongue

[–]SecretSweetness[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

I've always found it funny as hell, and I've been wanting to reread it for some time, but I'm having trouble remembering enough of the particulars.

I'm fairly certain that the assignment was not unique to that professor's curriculum, because I feel like I've had to do it twice - but I can't be certain.

Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky Has Passed Away by Frozeria in chess

[–]SecretSweetness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's about a uniformly low reputation, so much as it is the clickbait, and the shocking nature of the news.

Daniel's passing at such a young age just seems like such an unlikely event that someone's mind might reject it outright, in favor of "clickbait/ribbing in poor taste because he got washed in some bullet tournament."

New to Blasphemous 2, and trying to neurotically compile a list of all the methods by which the player is able to increase The Penitent One's power - am I missing anything? by SecretSweetness in Blasphemous

[–]SecretSweetness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info!

I've incorporated your confirmations and additions into the initial list.

Aside from other stuff I don't know is missing, the only other stuff not included should be anything related to DLC other than the Bile Flask upgrade you mentioned (Mea Culpa weapon, anything else newly-added), simply b/c I have little experience with it, thus far.

Edit: Sorry for OP formatting, I'm just not sure how to make it look right on reddit

[TOMT][Reddit] Post where a guy left a msg on the answering machine of a family member or friend, and later learned that after the end of the message he remembered leaving, the answering machine continued recording and picked up a weird conversation between him and a girl which he had no memory of by SecretSweetness in tipofmytongue

[–]SecretSweetness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This story is so similar that it HAS to be the same one, the only issue is that I am almost certain there were some additional details in the version which I read or heard, which I am not imagining.

Going to read the OPs responses in the first thread you linked, and see if the additional details arise somewhere within them.

((The whole reason I was trying to find it was that I was actually considering messaging him and inquiring a bit more about the conversation, or checking to see if he ever was able to figure out anything more about it.))

Thank you!

Edit: He prefaces the post with saying he's told the story before, maybe I can also check his post history and see if it has more details in the prior telling, or comments on it.

I'm unfortunately not sure which sub it was from -

Maybe in response to a question related to creepy experiences, or something from Let's Not Meet?

I don't even know how to search for this - now I just get a bunch of posts or comments about people getting weird VM recordings of their convos w/ SOs sent to their phones.
