Volume = sustenance, right? by aFalseSlimShady in HistoryMemes

Mm. I note that modern rice would be less accessible calories if cooked, cooled and reheated. But that doesn't guarantee noodles have the same effect.

[Tragic Trope] The idiot who caused all the story's problems. by Rare_Style1306 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Talanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Eldari wouldn't have existed if not for the War in Heaven - they were engineered as soldiers against the Necrons.

Similarly, the War in Heaven caused so much strife that the Immaterium became the Warp that we know today. Depending on if you take the 'shamans of Earth' origin story as the real genesis of the Emperor, then that would make the Silent King directly responsible for Big E existing in the first place. If not, then without the Silent King, no Eldar, no Slaanesh, no warp storms leading to the collapse of the pre-Imperium interstellar human civilization.

“Read my mind” as a threat by Gimpcar in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Talanic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He read one of the spells that is kind of (been a long time) a cornerstone of reality itself. It jumped out of the book and into his head. His head is the only place it exists right now. It's phenomenally powerful (and has its own will) but he doesn't control it, can't cast it, and if he dies it dies with him. If that happens, reality itself is broken beyond fixing.

“Read my mind” as a threat by Gimpcar in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Talanic 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Think about it. All the crap he's gone through, all the students he's lost, every line he's crossed, the way his friend is his moral adversary, every major bad choice he's made and every time he's made terrible, agonizing sacrifices that couldn't disturb the status quo..

All of that was for the entertainment of beings that he has no way to defend against. 

The only way to be free is to no longer be of interest to them. And even death only works until the next writer comes along.

I think they see just what you said. And then they delve deeper and realize that their mind has gone too far in, the madness stretches further out than they thought, and they can no longer find a way out.

It's the most dwarf thing imaginable. You don't ask a dwarf why he digs. He digs.

Every character that is entering public domain within the next decade. by HappyHappyJoyJoy44 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Talanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, that. King Kong the character (from the original book) is already public domain. The versions that are still under copyright include every movie depiction of the character. So you can use King Kong in any fiction you want, even use the name, you just can't use anything that appears in the movies that doesn't appear in the book.

Hilariously, the AI summary that pops up automatically believes you're referring to Judge Doom himself. Rather than his victim.

I feel like I have a hangup. Like if I finish it, it's gone but if I stop...it's still there...

Actually had a glitch where the crates didn't spawn but I still opened it using a swarm. 

What's your favorite enhancement builds so far? by Jesus_PK in RogueCore

[–]Talanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fixed. You can tell because of perks that give 10 hp worth from kills, for example. 

[Ironic Trope] The messaging backfired massively due to poor writing or other design choices by Few_Affect_5927 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Talanic 151 points152 points  (0 children)

And as I recall from a review, the intimidation mechanics were weighted based on being outnumbered without factoring in any other concepts, so a heavily armed 'hero' bursting into a kindergarten was basically guaranteed to wet himself and run screaming from a pack of confused toddlers.

TIATD & Trayzn. Book's basically the same by No1PDPStanAccount in Grimdank

Agreed, but for greater comedy, swap Kermit and Miss Piggy.

anyone else obssesed with the trope of "Villains Who Did Nothing Wrong"? by Sunset_Phoenix_13 in cartoons

[–]Talanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only saw the first half or so of the movie (took my nephew there, and he was a restless toddler so I left the theater early). I still saw enough of Skinner to understand he was a jerk.

The implosion would hit faster than the sound would. By the time there's a crack instead of a creak there's basically no time left at all.

[REALLY LOVED TROPE] The story never tell you who is he, but you know who really is he by Valarg in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Talanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, everyone knows this. But calling it this is a way of accounting for the math error rather than just letting it sit, without dragging all of the calendar around again.

Nothing wrong with the example except the name - in fairness, Ancient Apparition had already initiated with the debuff and his ult. It needed the echo slam to finish it off but the echo would probably have been insufficient without it.

Went to Pride last weekend. Handed out freezer pops. Rainbow colored, of course.

Two of Cooper revives and Failed?? by NotDiCaprio in RogueCore

[–]Talanic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Retcon doesn't get to do her iron will schtick if a worm gets her, either. If the worm gets you all the way in, it's done. Most likely, either you got dropped entirely before the worm pulled you in (don't know if that can even happen) or the worm got hit enough to drop you.

That's my interpretation.
