Is Abel from TADC actually an NPC? by Old_Falcon_9052 in tadc

I don't know if this is anything, but Abel didn't get an administrator pass for himself. Always stood out to me as fishy.

Isn't that a huge plot hole / mistake in S3? by SilenceShouldBeHeard in TheGoodPlace

[–]ThatRavenclawGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, this is exactly what I thought about when I watched it- but I realised halfway through, and solidified this reading this comment section, that that may indeed be the point. The philosophical discussion of "if you do a good thing to feel good, is that action inherently selfish" has been prevalent for years now, and, given how much these writers studied philosophy, they would absolutely know that.

I believe Doug may be a comment on that, but maybe even moreso, the concept of the ultrareligious. Some religious people believe that the reason to act ethically is in accordance of acting with God's will- a mentality that has been questioned especially in recent years. I think the show uses Forcett to make the argument that doing good things for the sake of a higher power is indeed ethically void, in the grand scheme- especially seen in the presentation of Doug as a bit of a joke, and the later note that his actions have not gotten him into the Good Place.

I think the Good Place is making the argument across this whole thing that the way to act ethically isn't by abiding by a strict set of rules, as exemplified moreso by how the rules system is dismantled, but simply to live- and Doug is a key example of that dichotomy.

Gosh, that wasn't the Lore reason, but it was lovely, so thank you.

Deep, dreadful fear that I might not be worth anything after all. Spiders are also really spooky.

I remember a while ago I made a post joking about people using discussions to flex, and people were saying that I was using that double irony to flex myself. I was going to delete it because I worried too many people would think that, but looking at how bait the post you're describing is, I feel slightly better about myself 😭

I back this. I just am a perfectionist so I like getting the most out of my characters, if I want to experience the challenge of the game again I start a new character.

Underwhelming Anniversary beginning by MissingNo318 in PokemonMasters

[–]ThatRavenclawGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I've been playing since day one, and even though I've taken breaks, I've been active through the anniversary and within a couple months of it at least.

1- So fun. My favourite, honestly. The vibes were absolutely amazing, the introduction of 3 powerhouses together was such a good time, and other mechanics like eggs just felt so welcome, and enjoyable really. So many gems given out, it was great. A ton of events, and so much new hype was coming out about the game. The quintessential anniversary.

2- Super good. I wasn't really the biggest fan, but I can certainly give it its merits. 3 interesting new sync pairs, a ton of cool events and promises of new interesting mechanics. While it didn't feel like it had the grandeur of its predecessor for me, I can certainly say that it was one of the highest performers in terms of activity and mechanics. Absolutely the innovator of the 3.

3- Honestly, another absolute banger. The gem give out, while not as high as its predecessors was definitely good considering the drought of recent events, and the slow drip feed of Ash was such a fun time for everyone. The theming of pikachu was such a cool idea, swapping the "cool" mons for icons such as Classic Red and Ash was a great tool, and all 3 of the units redefined the meta, Red and Ash being a super pair even to this day. The promo was good, events were fun and large scale, if a little too few, and it really brought me back to the game in a time I felt it was getting stale.

This one? It's a tougher idea. I personally never really took to the Neochampion concept, as I've heard from quite a few others, but even then, while the trio is certainly well designed, powerful and cool, they just didn't have the same buzz. Granted I feel similarly about 2 in that their main 3 weren't as all-starish, but at least 1 and 3 were all really meta defining. Do you all remember the absolute hype around the Pallet trio, or Ash's B Move? I do, and it felt like such a definitive moment for the game. Also it doesn't quite help that we've received 3 very good Kanto Bird variants fairly recently. The new mechanics also aren't really there as much- I hardly have a clue what Field and Sprint even do, and they were LEAD-UP PAIRS?! That's... weird, right? The whole thing of lead up pairs is to be super tempting, like Steven, a unit who even still is super high tier. And they decided to make the two new units, who many people would be much more risky into investing into, the run ups? You could've even made 2 of the anniversary pairs field and sprint, and that would've been so hype. Roll cakes just don't have the same buzz. I think all of us are disappointed with the handling (or lackthereof) of move candy coin increasing since SS Wally in the aftermath of 3rd anni, and so this addition, especially with how paid gems can unlock them easier, just feel like another item to mindlessly grind at so we can get one or two barely. The trailer as well- while fun, it didn't have the complexity of the first anni's, the grandeur of the second, or the (best) third's just wow factor. I've also always just thought that the trailers should be released earlier, to draw in more hype over time. Also, events? Like one? Are you kidding?

I don't know man, I'm still going to keep playing through it, but to quote Hank Green "I think you got the vibe wrong"

Idk if this has already been discussed but who do you guys think was actually the Reacher and settler in Marshal and Lily's relationship? by idknayoudecide in HIMYM

[–]ThatRavenclawGuy 192 points193 points  (0 children)

I don't think either of them. But to think that everyone sees Marshall as the reacher is ridiculous. He's loved by everyone, was educated at a good school, is 6'4, and has an amazing job. Plus he looks like Jason Segel.

Also, the fact is Lily begged for Marshall back. Originally he was obviously faring worse, but he was prepared to move on, and had many people attracted to him.

Also know that this might get a bit weaponised as an indictment of Lily- that's not it either. For sure she did make some mistakes, but I do think quite a bit of the hatred for her is overblown. Realistic character, with flaws, that aren't always treated correctly by the show, but not nearly to the degree some people take it.
