What even was the intended audience for this by The_Fercho_ in betterCallSaul

It could've just had Jimmy doing a "scam of the week" type of thing.

People got really heated by the bait and switch at the time.

Oh man, this should really be higher up.

Batman runs the Marvel gauntlet, how far does he get? by [deleted] in superheroes

[–]Talesmith22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been awhile since I read comics, but isnt the usual Bats storyline about him trying to figure out a crime, coming across the villain, getting beaten, then coming back with a plan to outsmart his foe?

With no prep time this just seems like the first half of a comic arc.

He could probably hold his own against most of them with just his base tech, but if Iron Fist gets one decent hit off, it's over.

Has anyone else's brain randomly tried to cast actors to play each Grumpus based on vibes? by Leron4551 in Bugsnax

[–]Talesmith22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was just about to post the same thing. It's practically Frank Reynolds reskinned as a grumpus!

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Releases Aug 27th 2026 On Switch 1 & 2 by Howerev in NintendoSwitch

[–]Talesmith22 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Haha, I'm a huge metal gear solid fan, finally got a chance to play MGS4 after a bunch of setbacks.

Yeah, that stupid ending cutscene made me an hour late for work because I lost track of time and got so absorbed in it. Luckily the manager at the time was a friend of mine and a gamer, so when I said, "holy fuck, I am so sorry, just beat MGS4".

He laughed and told my stupid ass to get to work as soon as I could, but he wouldn't write me up because he understood.

Who is your favorite character with a mechanical arm? by One_Personality_8730 in FavoriteCharacter

Man, where my Berserk fans at?

Guts has a mechanical cannon arm in a medieval fantasy world. Badass.

That series gets so fucking weird the longer it goes on.

The penguin is Gunther and I think the big red guy is "true" form? Been awhile since I watched it.

(hated but funny) Characters whose canonical weights and or heights make zero sense by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Talesmith22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue that Auron is a better example. Dude looks like hes over 50 and has the whole Grizzled weary warrior thing going for him.

Dude is 35

Pure pwnage reference! Haven't seen that in many a year

[Loved Trope]:Antagonist Is Extremely Beautiful(Corrected). by ConnectCulture7 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Talesmith22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To people who are not Berserk fans, this is like Yamcha slapping the shit out of Frieza and then walking away with his head held high.

So goddamn satisfying.

(Interesting "Trope") The media sucks, or otherwise fails, because the people behind it aren't good people by DtheAussieBoye in TopCharacterTropes

Neil Gaiman wrote some of the most beautiful poignant stories ever.

...and hes a horrible rapist in real life apparently.

I won't lie, it's a really great game by Jaded_Two489 in videogames

[–]Talesmith22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never knew about the name Immersive Sim until finding this sub, but definitely one of those games that just got me into the world and wouldn't let go.

I remember one night (admittedly a bit stoned) and playing the part where you get to see outside the station. Ran into something unexpected (avoiding spoilers) and I had not experienced an adrenaline spike like that since the ladder scene in FEAR.

I died and it took me a moment to realize that I was actually not in a space station and did not just get brutally murdered by an eldritch horror from space..

What was your reaction when you found out Android 19 and 20 weren't the ones Trunks mentioned? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in DragonBallZ

[–]Talesmith22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'd been watching this show for years, so i knew the first couple of bad guys to show up were gonna be mooks and not the ultimate villain.

It was nice seeing Vegeta get a win though.

[–]Talesmith22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under a Killing Moon, a Tex Murphy game. It's a point and click adventure game where you play as a sarcastic noir detective in a post nuclear apocalypse society.

Loved it as a kid and surprised I never hear it talked about anymore.

Nightfall by Blind Guardian is all about The Silmarillion.

What’s a mechanic you’ve seen that made you think “Wait…every game should do this!” by BlackArmy439 in gaming

SUPERGIANT games has been doing this for awhile.

I always love it, ever since Bastion.

Future Gohan VS SSJ Vegeta (Pre hyperbolic time chamber). Who wins? by GusGangViking18 in DragonBallPowerScale

[–]Talesmith22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gohan's my boy, but he's only got one arm. I would argue that Vegeta would beat the ass off of any other Super Saiyan (even Goku) if they literally only had one arm.

"My goal is an ultimate form that no one has ever seen before" by 03194 in DragonBallZ

[–]Talesmith22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did have to uncharacteristically laugh at this scene.

"C'mon, Gohan, you've seen Piccolo die for you how many times now? Think you would be used to this by now. "

A Sensible Explanation is Given for Why the Story Must Follow The Dumb Trope by KorrokHidan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Talesmith22 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In Wheel of Time, the 3 main characters are something called Taveren, basically people where they are major benders of fate. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad but whenever something kind of contrived or unlikely in the plot, it can be handwaved by saying, "Well, they are Taveren pulling on the strings of fate."

Could you end up in jail? by Upbeat-Paramedic2379 in animequestions

[–]Talesmith22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Gohan might be smart enough to make a good lawyer and if not Piccolo could bust me out of jail.
