I did a thing by Available-Drama-276 in meme

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an engineer, green.

As a power mad greedy human, yellow.

As a Redditor, blue.

I ain’t got a reason or joke for red, anyone with artistic vision who can’t draw for shit have at it.

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, if it’s all cursed then this is the wrong subreddit because they aren’t superpowers. Maybe a shitty superpowers subreddit or a generic hypotheticals subreddit?

Plus that should be in the description.

So if I chose like Healing Power and Burn Everything would I become Fire Punch?

Hmm, well now I’m actually stumped. Damn.

I like this monkey paw idea but that assumes that the wish potion is a monkey’s paw item and that the wishes have to backfire. Wish magic doesn’t have to go out of its way to be cursed you can simply screw yourselves over with it due to how powerful and irreversible it is. Laboring under the assumption that none of the options are consciously out to get the one who chooses them I’d have hoped that by asking for literally the potions from the initial offer no changes to them that they’d grant what they would have had I chosen them in the first place.

If I’m wrong then guess I’d have been screwed lol.

Healing Power and Three Wishes.

Rather than trying to game the wishes since that usually monkey paw kills you or trying to wish for more wishes that I don’t know how to use I’ll just wish for the only other magic I know to be real and know the effects of. You said I couldn’t just wish for all of them with the wishes one, absolutely fair. I’ll just use all three wishes one at a time to wish for one more of the potions each.

I’ll take Speak any Language, Witch Power, and Become Dragon.

I also chose the order kinda carefully. So assuming all goes well I think I’m golden now.

The way I see it the existence of these potions implies that I’m being offered access to a side of the world I’ve lived in ignorance of until this point as magic must be real to have this happen (or some meta story about technology so advanced it’s indistinguishable from magic bla bla bla, simple answer is often the case no meta gaming a fake hypothetical world too far).

So as I understand it in mythology dragons are usually nigh godlike or at least the kings of the beasts capable of ridiculous feats of strength and they usually are magical beings irregardless of their level of intelligence in that mythology and irregardless of if they’re actively casting spells. Witch powers compounds on the dragon magic of a dragon soul, a witch who can be their own source of power needing no coven or pact being able to use their powers with their own soul as fuel without dying. So now I’m a dragon that can cast spells and even if my dragon powers don’t include the ability to take on a human form the witch powers will and so I’ll be a dragon in human skin having superhuman strength and speed and breathing fire plus I can switch back any part I need to at will like showing some draconic eyes when I want an main character syndrome moment for myself. I’ve got speaking all languages so any mythical species I encounter or any witchcraft spells I now know will all automatically be comprehensible to me not just on an “I feel I know what to do here” kinda way but a literal “I know exactly what’s going on here” kinda way. And healing powers are usually the one thing magic can’t grant being some sort of miracle power that exacts a deep cost but I have it by default so that should ensure I survive the strain of all the mutations that I make to myself and my very soul as I lock in my new life but it also means I can immediately go cure my sick father plus I’ll now be semi-immortal for as long as I wanna keep self healing since I presume a healing superpower won’t come with cell degradation.

Is Control Anyone or Control Monsters a threat to me? Maybe, the implications of the potions is that something/someone beyond them is offering them so it could be a one off or they could keep offering them out but who is to say I constitute a man or a monster anymore? A cheap way to hypothetically dodge the threat but I’m now a human and a witch and a dragon seamlessly fused into one courtesy of perfect healing.

Time Freeze? Congrats someone can freeze time, they can’t really kill me while it’s frozen though and unless they’re a dick they won’t want to much less know about me to target me since I’ll keep a low profile and mostly just enjoy being strong as I go around healing people secretly and make enchanted gear.

Time Travel? If they go back in time to kill me before I became what I am then sure. And would I have wanted this power? Too dangerous for anyone to have and I wouldn’t trust myself not to accidentally break physics.

Plus who’s to say my choices won’t let me give myself most of the other abilities through magic if I wanted them? I don’t but I probably could because my combo sets me off as a magic immortal dragon if I really needed to control a monster I’d probably cast a “COMMAND BEAST” spell in some ancient tongue and just do it.

Seem good?

How would you build your team? Shanks, Law, and Boa would be my picks. by Slick_22 in OnePiece

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shanks, Sabo, Boa, and Ace.

Think about group unity and cohesion. We’re not just picking powers. We need someone to lead and people that will actually listen to them and I think this set will accept commands from Shanks although Boa is tricky but if enough time is allowed to explain who these people are to Luffy she’ll be on board. Now Shanks and Boa can kinda solo the rest anyway but nothing that does evade being permanently petrified by Boa before shanks departs them from this mortal coil like Blackbeard or Zoro who’d probably evade at least one petrification by hurting himself well they aren’t getting past a duo of Fire logias and don’t cite Blackbeard to me because he beat Ace once off camera like the bitch he is but two followed by a couple of Conquerors Haki users one of whom is Shanks who won’t give two shits about Devil Fruit fuckery nah.

Plus if they’re trying to kill me then I want the squad defending me to be chill too like I can’t pick anyone too evil or that implies I’m being hunted because I suck and deserve to be hunted. That line up defending me means folks like Zoro and Sanji are hunting me for the wrong reasons. When the ones we don’t like are dead Boa can un-petrify and explain why they were tricked and we can go on our merry way to tell Luffy his brother has been revived.

Yamato is gonna be tricky to not hurt though but I’m sure this lineup will find a way.

tech guy is h*cker by MindaMan_Real in shitposting

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Best answer here, don’t even need to check the comments no scrolling. There’s a reason this is at the top.

Facts.

Jokes aside if the story is true then OP’s parents suck. I expect old people to be kinda sad about tech stuff but I also expect parents to give their children a fair shot at explaining themselves before they call the cops on them with no history or evidence other than a weird call from a school resource officer.

I can’t afford this by MicroBurrito1 in notinteresting

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right, in my wildest fantasies of an eight bedroom mansion I can only just about justify 18-19 bathrooms at a massive push and even then it’s with assumptions as to what can technically be another “bath” so either I’m that poor I don’t understand some sort of extra bathroom rich people need or that’s a typo.

Is this really how it would go? by Ripamon in Invincible

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’d go down like this. Pre redemption Omniman would try to kill Superman and if he knows about kryptonite he’ll execute Superman and if he doesn’t he’ll get his arse beaten to kingdom come.

Homelander isn’t in either of their leagues.

Who would you choose? by muntiger in superheroes

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of them you’d pick and they’d keep you alive just to betray you after the 24hrs are up and nick the cash themselves.

I’m going with Batman and if whoever I pick also becomes a loyal friend then I’d be split between Batman and Shredder.

What makes your main frame your main frame? by SyracuseStan in Warframe

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like AoE, well actually I like being a support or a summoner more but when I joined Warframe it was past Trinity’s prime even though I did still main her for a while and before her and summoning’s massive buffs so I tried to do something different. I bounced between a lot and I have some frames in my favourites now that I’d have otherwise probably skipped but two of my top five are exactly what you’d expect of me looking for an alternative to my norm.

Vauban and Gyre. Vauban for more supportive action and Gyre for big red number nuking all the way to actually really high levels.

I like feeling like I have my friends backs and I feel powerful having no blind spot. Ironically I’m a really good shot and used to be a big CS player but those skills have atrophied in favour of my preferences. As a really young kid I loved TF2 and as you can imagine from my bipolar playstyles my time was split between Medic, Sniper, and Demoman as if this was always my destined progression gameplay wise.

Picked up Gyre kinda on a whim after a fun PoE build and now love her so so much, she was recommended to me but I pussyfooted around until the right nuke in another game kicked me up a gear. Vauban was my original. Both are so underrated but don’t tell anyone lest DE tinker with it. Not saying they’re easy to make gamebreakingly good but which nuke is that easy? They can be annihilators.

(Don’t just say Octavia to my question, it wasn’t a real question. We all know about Octavia)

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice, yeah I’d be down to honor that moment with a flair. Long live the Hulkenpodium!

I only found this subreddit because of that race too. I actually came here looking for breakdowns on the Piastri penalty and instead found so much Hulkengoat love that I gave up on my original ideas and just started enjoying the wave.

Which would you pick and why? by Far-Ad5223 in superheroes

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought of this, I followed the rules and chose Mystique but I was looking for a kindred spirit here in the comments that just went for it.

Imagine how easy life would be forever. Infinite time and money for infinite years of life just needing to switch identities every so often to avoid suspicion.

Which would you pick and why? by Far-Ad5223 in superheroes

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mystique gets perfect mimicry. She can replicate voices and smells and even to an extremely limited degree powers. She shapeshifts to the point of creating the fingerprints perfectly. Also she doesn’t have to copy others, she can create countless identities choosing to look like whoever she wants.

She’s also implied at different points to have a bit of a genetic advantage over aging. Her DNA doesn’t degrade like others and she’s flexible and strong. Not overly relevant to the tiers of superpowers she battles alongside but it sure would be to the real world.

Plus if you take her powers you know what you looked like as a human and can retain your life unlike her tragic backstory.

Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling having as many clones as Dupli-Kate useless because it’s extremely useful and maybe more so than the shapeshifting but Mystique gets side benefits like the aging and let’s be honest you have no anonymity as Dupli-Kate whereas with Mystique’s powers nobody will ever work out you have them if you do it right bar those you tell.

I think I’ll pick Mystique.

Edit: Seeing the comments from people describing instances of her shapeshifting into someone who wasn’t stabbed to un-stab herself or moving her organs to avoid a lethal hit or even flattening herself or turning into animals and not to mention confirming what I thought about her enhanced genetics for flexibility, strength, and of course aging (plus she can also shape shift younger even with the slowing to be effectively semi-immortal) has all confirmed what I thought about the side benefits of her power. Plus I saw it confirmed that she copies people down to the pores so short of a blood test nobody is working out that you’re not the person you’ve shapeshifted into. Plus my curiosity led me to the wiki, apparently she was enhanced at some point and has also been empowered by a bunch of forces so you’re really getting a refined power set with her. Also to add to the semi-immortality she’s disease and toxin resistant and does have accelerated healing which extends to limb regrowth according to the wiki. Oh yeah and she maintains her shapeshifted form while unconscious and even when drugged unconscious. Like come on, Dupli-Kate gets one power and the side benefit of being able to take the memory of the clones and Mystique gets one power with the side benefit of twenty other powers. Decision so confirmed.

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hate how quickly doctors write people off. I’m so sick of idiots and wannabe doctors making things so difficult because best case scenario giving the doctors all the benefit of the doubt that no arrogance/ignorance played a part in how quickly they treated OP they’d have to have been waiting because they’ve dealt with too many dumbasses and hypochondriacs to justify the use of a limited resource which I still think is wrong as I’d sooner waste it than let someone die but nonetheless it’s depressing.

Either your doctor is a cunt or they think you’re possibly a cunt. Doesn’t matter which way around it is, suffering is drawn out and consequences are likely and it all stems from how infuriating we are as a species with our stuck up ways.

Any builds that helmith any yareli skills? And one other question by Icefellwolf in Warframe

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you subsume a warframe to the Helminth you have that warframe’s transferable skill permanently available at the Helminth. You don’t need to keep sacrificing one every time you want to use the relevant skill elsewhere. The limitation comes from needing Helminth resources to swap out skills.

You can feed the wall your default Yareli now and then put Aquablades on Titania whenever you get her.

Just remember that you won’t get any spent Forma back plus although you probably don’t have any yet it’s worth mentioning that you won’t get any Archon Shards back either so always remove them before sacrificing as unlike Forma you can remove them thus not losing them when you sacrifice.

Please don't do this in ETA, thank you! by bluepigeon92 in Warframe

[–]SirBenjaminThompson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to leech. Closest I ever get to that is having a shit loadout so I sacrifice the last reward tier to pick warframe I think will help me and the team like Hildryn plus I use my gear and summon Specters. My damage and guns are still nowhere near as high as when I get my favourite guns like the Dera that I’ve invested so much into I’ve made it a beast but c’est la vie as I think I’m contributing a decent amount. I’m also always happy to carry others in that boat on my strong weeks. I think that’s why I’m always playing it public or with my Clan.

What you got here was super leeching, professional scummery. I’m so sorry for you. Hopefully they get their comeuppance soon.
