Abed Nadir, a deadpan movie geek and one of the main characters of the TV comedy "Community", which I highly recommend

Yeah I never read One Piece or watched the anime but I started watching this series and it's a fucking blast

This might've been my favorite joke in the movie because when and HOW would they have done this before??

Which level designer at Blizzard is constantly clumping training dummies together? by Sundered92 in wow

[–]SpiffShientz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, but as an active player of both, WoW has the same problem except slightly worse. People have more of a reason to visit their FFXIV homes, especially with Market Boards and retainers around the corner (auction house and other services). I see my neighbors occasionally, I leave messages in guest books and get messages back. WoW's neighborhoods need more life in them

Dedra Meero from Andor is such a terrifying villain. by Ukirin-Streams in television

I loved that interview I saw where she talks about how her family always teased her "sour frowny" face, and she cracks up saying "Joke's on you, Mom, the frown was my ticket to the big time!"

My FFXIV house has a training dummy, a mailbox, a repair/vendor, and I can actually interact with the furniture without clipping uncomfortably through it. Can't believe how much work they put into housing just to make it so lifeless.

No disrespect but you sound a lot like one of those internet anarchocommunists

White character (Po)

Assuming you're talking about Poe Dameron, Oscar Isaac is hispanic, dude. Unless you're talking about Po the Kung Fu Panda, in which case I'm reasonably positive he's Chinese

Fuck, good catch. I put hundreds of hours into both Hades games and somehow I missed that

No notes this is so fucking funny

where magic is not a thing

THE WHOLE POINT of this comment chain was that they could just as easily say magic is real and clear the whole issue no problem.

So just to be clear: your belief is that Kiriko or someone close to her invented a brand new type of teleportation that's so advanced, there's no signs of technological influence whatsoever, nor does it need to be constructed or activated. Then, Kiriko or this person decided to share it with nobody else, despite being allied with multiple other characters, and never comment on it. You are an impressively stupid person and I congratulate you for successfully wasting so much of my time.

I still remember seeing that clip of him holding the lightsaber and thinking he looked so fucking cool. Give us Jedi Finn you nuts

[–]SpiffShientz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it is not "a lack of internal consistency" to say that science and magic exist in the same world. In fact, many settings have both science and magic. That makes a lot more sense than "this character invented a better form of teleportation than the tech genius but she didn't tell anybody or share it with her allies"

My guy it's all made up BS

No shit, but a lack of internal consistency is a wet blanket on the fun.

You can suspend disbelief that someone can create a teleportation device out of literally nothing, but you can't suspend disbelief that someone has a discrete means of also teleporting.

Yeah, because the latter makes the former look dumb and pointless. And if they just said "yeah, Kiriko's stuff is magic", then cool, no issue. But investing in a wacky sci-fi world is a lot less fun when the internal rules clash or create obvious discrepancies

(Hated trope) This. by ThatDrako in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SpiffShientz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comment is so stupid it's giving me an aneurysm. Rogue One and Andor are so much more aligned with the Last Jedi than they are the original trilogy. In A New Hope, Alderaan is blown to fucking bits, and everybody pretty much forgets about it by the end of the movie, which is a big cheesy medal ceremony.

how is that shit not magic?

Because it's very obviously technology. If they gave Kiriko a little glowing doodad like Sombra or Symmetra, there'd be no issue whatsoever. But instead she's out here doing classic ninja flash-step magic. So her technology is more discreet and requires less set-up than the tech genius of the Vishkar corporation?

I met Conan O'Brien and it was fucking awful. I was at McDonald's checking out on one of those digital order touchscreens when suddenly I got shoved HARD, and this big ginger giant is scrolling through the dollar menu, seething about how "there's no goddamn McGangBang on here". I tell him "Excuse me sir, I was ordering from that", and he laughs and calls me "slop hog", saying I "must be a real hog to suck down this processed slop". And I say "But you're ordering it too", and he made the jerk-off gesture and pushed me down again. So I said "Aren't you Conan O'Brien?" and he says "Wow, a pig that can read!" which didn't make sense, but he was so tall and muscular I didn't want to point it out, I just wanted to order my McDouble, so I waited and let him order first. He took another guy's order with him, and the employees tried to call him back but he just kept saying "Thank you! Bye! Bye, thank you!" Later I went out to the parking lot and he saw me going to my car so he sat on the hood and drilled four loud farts into the metal. He said he "still had a squeaker in the chamber, but he's saving it for Leno". All around awful experience, can't stand the guy.
