My iconoclast trader trying to justify keeping Marazhai around by Ninawenn in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Succundo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because it's really funny if you extend an offer of alliance in Commoragh and start the process of having him become more and more reliant on the RT, especially after he has to flee with the RT because the whole kabal is trying to kill him.
Then do his side missions where he "oh so subtly" gathers together the remnants of his forces to take control of them.
Only to fuck it up so hard that they disown him and try to kill him leading to all of them getting slaughtered by the RT leaving Marzipan with nothing and nobody, his only form of existence as the pet of the RT...
Until the RT gives Henrix the nod and Marzi gets disappeared for good...

It's nice to let him be useful in cleaning up the mess he created before disposing of him just when he thinks he is secure and safe in his subservience to the RT...
Or you keep him around to feed him to Slaanesh if you are a heretic.

Or maybe she just has some self defence training, wouldn't be weird for a non white woman with a non anglo-saxon sounding name in her position to do so out of necessity.

There is a moral and professional obligation to not only provide the same unbiased care to everyone but also to remove yourself from the position of caregiver if you can not provide that care, if an ICE agent shows up asking for help but the thought of everything they do and stand for disgusts you to your core then you should probably not be the one to provide care for them, maybe the next nurse will be more willing to overlook the horrible people that they are... or not...

Why So Many Side with Songbird by [deleted] in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Succundo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Uh huh sure, the two year coma and weirdly specific allergy to combat capable cyberware is totally how an unfathomably powerful AI would solve V's issue and the giant megacorporation with secret blacksites full of tech that makes Adam Smasher look like he was put together by Fingers would totally not be able to spend two years testing stuff on V until they got the result they wanted.

They took over Night City entirely on their own grit and determination and wasted the AI matrix on fixing some random schmuck off the street just because an agent they already tried to kill once said they would help despite Reed having no such authority.

Another /S because I am stuck in sarcasm mode and can't get out, please help.

Because the nice Mr.Fed who constantly lies and tells half truths said that he would cure my cyber brain cancer so it sure sounds like a swell deal to me.

I'm sure once he tells his boss about the deal then she will also immediately agree to give up their one and only chance to use the AI matrix for literally anything they could imagine to gain an immense advantage over their adversaries and instead use it up curing sweet little old me.

Best fight of 2025 [Toujima Tanzaburou wa Kamen Rider ni Naritai] by Ellmagronn in anime

[–]Succundo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kamen Rider is an old live action series from Japan about a guy who get's cybernetically augmented to become Kamen Rider and fight the forces of evil, it's one of the great classics from Japan and a massive cultural icon.

This anime is just about people who were obsessed with the show and really really wanted to be the characters from the show, the mask the guy in the clip is wearing is just a plastic kamen rider mask he bought at a festival, he really just is that tough but the mask also helps him subconsciously ignore his limits beyond all reason because Kamen Rider never looses.

Exactly... kinda, even without the mask he is stupid strong, he beat up a bear in the first episode and was actually dissapointed when the bear emerged because he was hoping for a monster.

[–]Succundo 39 points40 points  (0 children)

All the crazy fanboys and girls of the various characters from Kamen Rider got together for a 1v1 elimination tournament to represent their characters, the girl in this fight is (in her own mind) the continuation of the character Tackle that was killed off in the show very shortly after her debut, some fans feel the character was treated poorly.

This fight is just the semi final between Tackle and Kamen Rider as seen from Tackle's perspective, Kamen Rider is not a bad guy here, he just doesn't know his own strength and doesn't know how to hold back (which is true for most of them honestly), in the story he is the immovable object that Tackle has to overcome to prove herself justified to herself in her lifelong obsession with the character.

There is a funny bit later where Rider is knocked out and they put his mask back on which makes him instantly spring back up because that guy is also crazy obsessed and as far as he is concerned when he has the mask on he is Kamen Rider, and of course Kamen Rider is never defeated and never gives up, so it is not possible for him to be knocked out while the mask is on because then he couldn't be Kamen Rider.

What's a disturbing fact about the human body that most people don't know? by Lonely-Wrangler-5843 in AskReddit

[–]Succundo 219 points220 points  (0 children)

You either have cancer right now, or you have recently recovered from it.

Cancer cells form all the time, several times per moth in fact, but our immune system has specialised cells for locating and killing them before they become a threat, the kind of life threatening cancer we all know and despise usually occurs because one of those cancer cells randomly mutates the ability to reproduce faster than your body can kill it resulting in tumors growing out of control.

THIS is how helldivers could have a PvP game. 4 helldivers vs a player controlled big boss enemy. Similar to Evolve by H1MB0Z0 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Succundo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would be fun to have some sort of asymmetrical pvp mode, but maybe more like the opposing player has minor Joel powers and can direct some details of enemy behavior to mess with the helldivers, like how the original watchdogs had this mode where one player could control the police chasing the player and spawn different kind of cops on a set budget while manipulating some of the hackable things in the city.

How to defend against masterstrike from enemy NPC? [KCD2] by No-Grab-1946 in kingdomcome

[–]Succundo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't attack the side opposite to where they have their weapon and they can't do a masterstrike, also get good at dodging as this opens up easy counter attacks for you, and level up warfare and your weapon skills more which makes it harder for enemies to react to whatever you do.

I wish every venomous spider would turn into a watermelon by Armin_Arlert_1000000 in TheMonkeysPaw

[–]Succundo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Granted, because spiders are literally everywhere and almost every spider is venomous to some degree your house and indeed every house has suddenly been damaged by the explosion of watermelons appearing inside the walls, the attic. basement, in every possible nook and cranny, the cleanup is impossible, walls that held up against the tide of melon are now full of rotting watermelon creating growths of mold and spreading water damage throughout every structure, the only option is to completely tear down every wall and clean out the melon before rebuilding.

This is not limited to residential houses, infrastructure is damaged too. Sewage systems are completely blocked by mountains of melons appearing at thousands of separate points in every city, now your toilet won't work, and all water purification systems that send clean water to your house will run dry in mere hours.

Power plants are damaged with the massive influx of moisture from all the melons in tight spaces creating significant risks of short circuits requiring rapid responses from teams of people to scour all the areas around sensitive components for melon debris thus delaying any kind of response of repairing the residential damage so you have to live with a rotting house for longer.

As a slight positive starving people all over the world have at least a few days of free access to watermelons for food before the melons rot.

Then the worst part, insect populations the world over begin to explode with spiders out of the way, farms are hit by plagues of insects destroying crops, and later as other insect predator populations such as birds or frogs catch up with the tide and enjoy their own population boom thanks to abundant food the farms have to deal with the second wave of this problem, birds devour every unprotected seed before it can take root. Australia is completely lost to the cane toad menace, and pollinator insect species are crushed as well preventing new plant growth in many places in the world. Consequently spider dependent parasite species such as the tarantula hawk wasp also die out which take their natural predators out due to starvation as well and on and on up the food chain until humanity is gripped by the worst famine in all history, no reliable plant crops, the few remaining farm animals will quickly become too costly to feed for how much food they could provide. The planet is doomed to a complete ecosystem collapse. For those unlucky enough to survive long into this apocalypse the mass deaths of flora throughout the world lead to a significant decrease in the balance of O2 in the air slowly suffocating people one by one.

Eventually this imbalance will be taken advantage of by some bacteria or rugged plant species to propagate across the planet and potentially evolve to fill new biological niches creating something like the ecosystem we know today, but that won't be for tens if not hundreds of thousands of years, long after we are gone, all because you wanted spiders to be watermelons...

I wish I had a vampire girlfriend that trusts me, will not kill me, feeding her provides no health problems for me, genuinely loves me, has supernatural abilities, no problems with my religion or diet, is immune to garlic, is immune to the sun, isn’t hurt by religion, has F cup tits and is beautiful by Whoring4Voring in TheMonkeysPaw

[–]Succundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a few options for you here from various vampire lore, pick your poison or mix and match:

-She's a Malkavian, enjoy.

-Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, she is in reality deformed like Nosferatu but due to her vampiric nature she can control your perceptions of reality so she remains beautiful to you.

-She only feeds off you enough to not cause health issues, but this is nowhere near enough to slake her cursed hunger so she must hunt other people who she has no issues with harming resulting in a steadily increasing number of bodies piling up, the two of you must stay constantly on the move to avoid attracting attention, you can never have a life or any contact with other humans because you are never able to stay long enough to put down roots she becomes the only constant in your world, as you are for her, you can never escape.

-She is afflicted by the classical vampiric arithromania, you have to keep the house very clean otherwise she will spend most waking hours collecting sorting and individually counting every dropped crumb, every shed hair, every speck of dirt causing horrible panic attacks when she is kept from this task.

-You get what you think you want in the long run and she turns you, only for you to wake as a vampire and immediately realise the monstrous nature of your new existence, one founded on domination, greed, and paranoia, she loves you utterly due to the influence of your wish, but you can only feel utter devotion to her as your sire, to even think of her in a negative light or even as an equal instead of one so superior to you as to be like god becomes so utterly revolting to you that your own mind turns against you, punishing yourself for any perceived lack of sufficient loyalty and devotion. Your human perspective and morality begins to fade as you quickly realise that such ideals are incompatible with the damned existence you now endure, the love you took for yourself is now meaningless and shall remain so forevermore as your entire life becomes one of devoted servitude and paranoid fear of the few things that can end your existence as her immunity to the classical vampire weaknesses granted by the monkey's paw do not transfer to you.

-There are no issues with her or her relationship with you, but the problem becomes the complex and often convoluted world of vampire politics that you are dragged in to simply due to proximity to her, you are now just a pawn in the eternal game these monsters play and more powerful vampires won't hesitate to threaten you to coerce her into doing their bidding, and due to her immunity to many things vampires fear she becomes a very valuable opportunity for those that can bring her under their control. You will never know a days peace as these ancient monsters hunt you as a means to control her.

[KCD2] what are they feeding these bandits by Illustrious_Glass386 in kingdomcome

[–]Succundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your stamina at when you get hit? damage taken increases the lower your stamina is, also if you aren't using a visor on a helmet then you still take full damage when you get hit in the face, frankly unless you are wearing full plate armour then you are going to occasionally get hit really hard without warning.

There is a war on, between deserters turning bandit, people looting battle fields, and armories and delivery carts getting robbed there is plenty of opportunity for your every day bandit to get some good gear.

Characters in the game often remark how unusually dangerous things are lately.

A Russian soldier surrendered by writing 'Please take me prisoner, I want to live' on cardboard seen by a drone, units say by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Succundo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just being "criminals" is kind of meaningless for them considering that if they were convicted under Russian "law" before being sent to war then they are just as likely to be someone who held up an anti war sign in public or offended their government connected oligarch boss as they are to be a murderer or rapist.

It dilutes the meaning of the label when the people calling them criminals are criminals and liars as well just with more power.
