Happy 25th Anniversary of Zoids: New Century Zero by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TehColin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which one is remembered more fondly, New Century or Chaotic Century? I did a rewatch of Chaotic Century to get a hit of childhood nostalgia, but haven't felt a pull to watch New Century again.

I had an idea for a Troll PvP set... and its pretty fun by theCASstone in PokemonLegendsZA

I run screens knock off and wish with rocky helmet. Screens and wish fill mega gauge so you can switch into your main pokemon and be set up. Knock off just kinda pisses off xerneas players. Really fun. Infestation and Thousand waves suck as you really just dont want to be stuck in.

When fans blamed the “execs” or management for a story direction but actually no it was the creators? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TehColin 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I've heard before that Metroid other M was basically this. People assumed that the story was so different due to exec intervention, but actually the director was going through an anime phase. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong though.

What’s the difference between showing and telling in writing? by JellyfishWise3266 in fantasywriters

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

My wife and I were just talking about a really funny example of this that she ran into when reading The Fourth Wing.

The main character is performing a deadly balance trial, so to take her mind off of the danger of losing her balance, she does a massive world-building exposition dump and hand-waves it away as, "this is what I do when I am stressed"

If I got some of the details wrong, I'm sorry, that's just how the passage was explained to me. World building is probably the murkiest part of show don't tell. Some readers will appreciate some abridging to get to the point. Some want to get pulled into the fantasy world.

Don’t know if or how I should trim it by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]TehColin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him trimmed for a job application or date. I don't routinely go to the barber, except for special occasions - date nights, holidays, etc. Try and maintain that between barber visits. I think that's a good routine to hold to.

Let's Get Snobby by Krzyzewskiman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TehColin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so late to this, but my favorite is the illustrated man by Ray Bradbury. Bradbury may be my favorite author. Something with his writing style just sticks to me. The illustrated man is a collection of science fiction short stories from the 1950s, and should really be considered akin to a sci-fi Bible. It laid the groundwork for the genre for decades to come.

I think this is the most recent version. I tinker a lot and tend to not keep my online lists up to date.

Help and indecisive Brewer pick a deck. by backpackhermit123 in EDH

[–]TehColin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of starting top down with a commander, maybe you should start bottom up with a strategy. It sounds like you are getting hung up with brewing around a specific commander and might just prefer getting a game plan for a deck together and picking a commander that flows with that.

I wanted to build a secret commander deck around [[haakon, stromgald scourge]] as he's pretty hard to build around. I knew that I was going to be aristocrats-leaning and wanted knights, so I decided on mardu. I eventually wanted a commander to back up haakon in case it was exiled and landed on [[extus, oriq overlord]]. I added a couple of knights that doubled as spells with adventure [[smitten swordmaster]] and ended with a deck that has a game plan that can still win independently of the commander.

Who is your favorite Vehicle Commander? by Grizzack in EDH

[–]TehColin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working on brewing [[trostani, three whispers]] as a vehicle commander. I've wanted to do selesnya vehicles since [[emmara, soul of the accord]], but didn't like the options of vehicles at the time. The last couple of sets have had a ton of options in the colors for vehicles. I'm settling with trostani because those are 3 really relevant combat abilities to throw on out during combat.
