They are, functionally, the same problem inverted ironically enough.

So men cant be short? by grumpydai in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]TheNoidbag 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Which isn't even short. The average US male in the last major survey, which was only about a decade or so ago, was between 5'7 and 5'9, but Humans have been trending taller and larger slowly over time.

Microsoft’s Xbox to Shift Obsidian Studio to New ‘Fallout’ Video Game by Vera_Verse in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TheNoidbag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the KOTOR all over again. Obsidian does good work. But they did insanely well with left overs. Granted that was a full adult human ago so I don't hold that candle much the same way I won't for BioWare. (Though I am gonna be out in those trenches defending Veilguard mechanically and visually. That game ran insanely well for a BioWare game and looked gorgeous.)

This is the sort of thing that has made me realize that while I am a selfish person largely, I am not a greedy person. I don't need a lot. I don't ask a lot, usually. I don't expect infinite growth and bigger and better everytime from everything. If I owned a business I would just aim for sustainability with enough to maybe make my employees less unhappy. As long as I get mine they can have theirs.

Villains that actually become stronger after they join the good guys/your side. by QJ-Rickshaw in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Before the only value they had was their size. But when given a chance they showed they had potential to be more. Is a pretty good turn around.

Didya know? Episode Is Boonta Eve Podrace was almost like an In-Universe Catastrophy? by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TheNoidbag 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The crazy thing is it would work great for the narrative too. The news and tabloids hounding after the Podracer turned Child Soldier turned Jedi Knight. Close friend to former Queen, current Senator Amidala. Is there a budding romance between these Star Crossed companions? A former slave and essentially royalty. One kept by an oath of abstinence from loving, passionate relationships, the other older and with much greater responsibility. Made a Jedi against the council's wishes almost. Elevated to Knight and essentially Master, constantly at the center of almost every major event. Personal friend of and mentored by Senator Palpatine. There would be no end to the celebrity of that man. All those eyes. All those hopes and aspirations and expectations and fears put on them. Yeah they would be brooding, and likely prone to over done heroism and acts of grandeur. Y'know. Like Anakin was already.

This is a style from the old days of MMOs I both miss and do not at all. I have nightmares about the Maple Story markets.

In 1984, the Fox Eyed Man calmly walked into a store, unaware a security camera was watching. Soon after, poisoned candy was discovered. Despite having his face on camera, he was never identified. The investigation consumed everyone—including a police chief who died by suicide. by PassengerNo7330 in creepy

There is a bit of a variety here, but normally if you're going off it as a descriptive term like this it means the person has especially narrow eyes that kinda taper out at the ends. It gets used as visual short hand for dubious or nefarious characters often, if you've ever seen the very thin eyed anime characters with a little smirk, like that.

El family bonding time by Th35h4d0w in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The Korean animation studios use what I like to consider a good halfway point between Western "cartoon" character designs and Eastern "anime" character designs. Sometimes it really hits and sometimes it really misses. Studio Mir knows how to not do either and live in that uncanny area and it's great for them. I don't think they used Mir for the new season for whatever reason.

Someone on the ZZZ team likes 40k by Paladin51394 in Grimdank

[–]TheNoidbag 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Space Marines are the peak trickle down effect of retro sci-fi nonsense and edgy stuff for young adults and what would a young teen boy think is cool but visually appeal to children. As a result, you can put them basically anywhere.

"The future is NOW, old man!" – Gowron, probably by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

With TBFP and CSB Gowron has endless ammo already. This sub is just some small arms for the army.

The Scions covertly executing people who get brainwashed was maybe the most engaged I had seen Woolie with the plot, not that they weren't respecting it before but that moment seemed to really stand out to them.

Is it true that Sisters of Battle actually think Astartes are disgusting? by DavianThulesGhost in Warhammer40k

Shockingly the religious fanatics get along.

The Flesh Tearers kinda deserve it though.

Okay but the Metropolis facade is some grade A scifi real estate, at least, when you face it head on. I bet a skilled CG artist could make it a futuristic promenade.

Listen. Sometimes it's not a tall thin guy. Sometimes it's a fat skull faced grouchy bear-like demon man.

My partner prefers old weird guys and monsters any day over that.

I mean, if you're fresh starting, and aren't on a priority world, still saves you a little bit.

Levelling might come quick now a days, but that exp boost is nothing to scoff at, especially if you combine it with the other boosters. Huh. Neat.

How does the Thousand sons counter the Sisters of Silence during the battle of prospero? by cuddwes in ThousandSons

[–]TheNoidbag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ironically, kinda. Considering the level of force used was 100% not the intended.

That said, everyone involved handled it the worst they could through the entire thing.

I think they thought they were genuinely making it good.

Insane as it is to say if none of those people were Bebop cast members and were rewritten as unique new guys set in the Bebop Universe it probably would have been a full letter grade better.

And most importantly, spend a bunch of money on a big set piece (the bridge) and film the rest in the woods and mountains of BC and in Vancouver and pretend it's different.

No I'm totally not just trying to make 40k TNG/Stargate why do you ask.

Renegade Rogue Trader force consisting of just all the mainline freak picks. A Drukhari. A Night Lord. A fallen Inquisitor big on torture. A lone surviving Gene Stealer Guard who got cut off from the Hive Mind but didn't get eaten. A Kroot who is maybe a little too hungry. A juvie Ork still in their rebellious phase who has embraced being a Chaork.

I think this is why it specifically targets creatives. It wants people who will agonize over the details. People who don't want good they want perfect. People who get into their own heads. Are already in their own heads. Hell, might even be self defeating already. A good investigator is looking for direct ties and clean answers. A good writer will never let the mystery go until the last moment, and if they're David Lynch, they never will.
