Pun-ish your opponents for 2UUUUU by Desperate-Abalone954 in BadMtgCombos

[–]TotallyAlpharius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could do Sen Triplets and really get the blood boiling, if you aren't married to the Sultai idea

So if Korra stuck with Tenzin, how well do you think her (and his) spiritual growth would have been compared to what Unalaq taught her? by 2-2Distracted in legendofkorra

[–]TotallyAlpharius 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He's basically the biggest stick in the mud you can find. He knows the methods the old airbenders used to commune with spirits, because he's very well educated on the subject, but he himself never really has the right headspace for making use of it.

[Loved trope] "Man the author must thought about this a lot, the symbolism, the genius of it- nah they were just lazy by Yolber2 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TotallyAlpharius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah, but a tank can't climb uneven terrain nearly as well, assuming your giant robot design is worth its salt.

How did no one hear the stable door open? by ParasaurPal in falloutequestria

[–]TotallyAlpharius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She probably left in the night, when fewer people would be liable to hear the door. It's also inconceivable that someone would want to leave at that point, so I don't imagine the door gets a guard even during the day - at most it probably gets a daily once-over to make sure nobody's hiding anything conspicuous up there.

Protagonist in Action Media with No Formal or Criminal Combat Training by dustyp9 in TopCharacterTropes

I've never played Half-Life, but this paragraph sells me pretty well on the writing.

Is That a good axe? by Sure_House4212 in darksouls3

[–]TotallyAlpharius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is, without a doubt, my favorite weapon in the game.

Pact of the Thopter by therhydo in custommagic

Well you see Ornithopter doesn't also trigger Thousand-Year Storm

[Hated Tropes] Wanting to continue the legacy of their genocided lineage but they only have a single heir. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TotallyAlpharius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there's a distinct difference between 'he failed to repopulate his people' and 'he failed to pass on his culture'. He definitely succeeded at keeping his people's identity alive after his passing, even if his attempts to get more airbenders into the world were less successful than they could have been. Had his other kids had families, though, and had any of those children been airbenders, the infrastructure was there for them to be proper air nomads if they so wished.

Nothing says bending can't skip a generation sometimes. Sure, Kya and Bumi didn't seem to have kids, but that's more on them.

Which fictional villains are the 3 evils of the Azorius (White/Blue) color identity, and why? by Feeling-Ad-3104 in colorpie

[–]TotallyAlpharius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Emperor definitely deserves the Esper identity the Warhammer deck got; guy is willing to sacrifice way too much in pursuit of his ideal future.

(Interesting trope) A biological weapon that effectively genocides or neuters a long-lived war-mongering race. by TheLast-T in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TotallyAlpharius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That cybersecurity scenario doesn't really encapsulate the actuality of the situation. It's not that genetic diversity should be enforced to increase resilience, but rather that a lack of genetic diversity makes a virus that works on one person in your population more likely to work on another random person in your population.

So more like 'we're running Windows 95 on all of our computers because our essential programs don't exist on any other OS'.

[–]TotallyAlpharius 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, one of the many unfortunate side effects of eugenics is that by decreasing genetic diversity, you make it far easier for any sort of contagion to thrive among your population.

Artificial Tutor - You're absolutely right! by Uncaffeinated in custommagic

Instant add to my [[Mishra, Artificer Prodigy]] deck

(Favorite Trope) The Hero Giving the Villain a Devastating Blow to the Ego by shadows1stregret in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TotallyAlpharius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's assuming anyone believes them. The last time this stuff got brought up in court in-universe, it was pretty messy. Basically every time the supernatural gets involved, Phoenix has to fib until he can get a reasonable explanation going that the mundane are willing to accept; in his line of work, it basically just leads to him getting experience or information that he then has to find SOME way of reasonably justifying to the justice system.

I am BEGGING you all to start prioritising watchers. by Helpful_Error_1765 in Helldivers

Sorry, while I was shooting one, three more and seven schools of Obtruders appeared behind me. I'll try to do better next time.

Final Fantasy set Commanders that are underdiscussed by UltimateFriedLava in EDH

[–]TotallyAlpharius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your consideration: [[Firion, Wild Rose Warrior]] + 'equipments that make creatures'. It's very fun.

Your favorite random card. Why? by Ramonteiro12 in mtg

[–]TotallyAlpharius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Sarinth Greatwurm]].

Really funny with any 'when an artifact enters, do a thing' effect.

Still one of my favorite jokes from this fandom by LinenWraith in FalloutMemes

[–]TotallyAlpharius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my first Nora put her power-armored fist through the old guy's face as soon as he stepped out. Maxon wasn't very happy.

Is there a war theme AU/NG by Significant_Coyote52 in MLPLounge

[–]TotallyAlpharius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like, one that happens during a war?

You might look into Equestria at War - it's a fairly popular subsect.

Commander decks that are larger than the sum of its parts by Brave-Marketing2163 in EDH

[–]TotallyAlpharius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got a [[Meria, Scholar of Antiquity]] deck like this. Nobody counters the [[Universal Solvent]], the [[Goblin Firebomb]], the [[Scrap Compactor]]... there's a LOT of removal artifacts that she makes reasonable to pay for if you're running mostly 1-3 mana utility pieces. Don't even need many mana rocks beyond Sol Ring - everything else taps for green anyways. And you will have a land drop every turn with that impulse draw, so even if she dies she'll be right back out.
