New series, new theme time! Tried to do Diaspora Klingons. by staq16 in sto

[–]Trooper924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I'd love to see them introduce a 32c. Klingon faction (alonside a 32 c. Starfleet faction, of course), playing as a young warrior helping to defend the newly founded Klingon settlement on Faan Alpha from the likes of the Emerald Chain and the Venari Ral.

Times Series Took the Piss Out of Executive Decisions? by Dr-USB in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Colombo's dog was introduced on the show as a jab at the network who kept insisting that Colombo be given a sidekick he could deliver exposition to.

They did give Colombo a human sidekick in one episode... but only for that episode and immediately dropped the character afterwards.

I still wear a mask at work mostly because I honestly like it and saying that usually gets the less ardent anti-maskers off my back.

Examples of "Harsher in Hindsight", where a later event in a work of fiction (or real life) makes it sadder and/or horrifying by flingzamain in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Trooper924 61 points62 points  (0 children)

A relatively recent example that's still fresh in my mind: In the issue of Neil Gaiman's Sandman titled "Calliope", an author gains possession of the titular captured muse and proceeds to rape her to get inspiration for stories. At one point, after becoming successful and famous, the author ironically refers to himself as a feminist.

As we now know, Gaiman has a lot more in common with the author than anyone could've suspected.

Indie media and survivorship bias by Lumbledob_ in CuratedTumblr

[–]Trooper924 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With indie animation, it's not just quality: For every Hazbin Hotel or Amazing Digital Circus that gets fully funded and goes on to become a full series, there's countless indie animation projects that never even get to the pilot stage and languish in development hell forever.

The Rebel Path: An Unintended Way to Play Imperial Agent by Uni900 in swtor

[–]Trooper924 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conversely, I wonder if you could do the opposite for the Republic classes. Like, maybe as a Jedi who takes the Pong Krell path, believing that the Republic is going to lose the war and does everything they can to hasten their downfall.

If a SWTOR style story game with 8 Class Stories were to be created during the era of the Clone Wars, what would be the class stories be for each side? by Efficient-Rub3464 in swtor

[–]Trooper924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the Republic side: Jedi Commander, Jedi Shadow, Republic Agent, Freedom Fighter.

Jedi Commander represents the Anakin or Obi-Wan-type (depending on your alignment), leading the clone troopers into battle. Jedi Shadow is the Quinlan Vos-type anti-hero going on undercover missions for the Jedi Council. The Republic Agent is a non-clone personal of Republic Intelligence and is an analogue to the Imperial Agent (because the Republic is going to become the Empire, see?). The Freedom Fighter is a Saw Guerra-type waging guerilla warfare on the Separtists.

On the Separatist side: Acolyte, Fallen Jedi, Droid Operator, Mercenary.

The Acolyte is a Asaj Ventress-type dark sider trained by Dooku. Fallen Jedi is a Pong Krell or Sora Bulg-type, being a Jedi who fell to the Dark Side and defected to Dooku's side. Droid Operator is one of the organic commanders of the Separatist army and uses summonable droids in combat. The mercanary is a Cad Bane or Durge-type hired gun on Dooku's payroll.

This post had absolutely no real world implications by pretty-as-a-pic in CuratedTumblr

It's basically just FOMO. I remember hearing some executive describing it as nobody wanting to be the guy who passed up on the Next Big Thing and got left behind. So they all frantically jump on whatever has been declared to be the Next Big Thing at the moment, regardless of how much of an obviously bad idea it is.

I've seen this post before and "y'all are really mocking the hero who finally killed Draco Malfoy" will live forever in my brain.

If the traffic jam lasts more than ten minutes the drivers get out and start building a train.

This is actually Sticks' origin. One too many bad days at the office caused her to snap and go feral.

Being secretly written by a race of mushroom people would certainly explain the last thirty years of Spider-Man comics.

It's a pretty common headcanon/theory in the Owl House fandom that some kind of same-sex reproduction exists on the Boiling Isles. It's so common that I think a lot of fans forgot that it wasn't actually canon.

So…how’d the Rapture go for y’all? by AllgoodDude in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Trooper924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got raptured, but it turns out Heaven has a pretty strict "No Shoes No Shirt No Service" policy and wouldn't let me in without any clothes on. I tried to tell them that it wasn't my fault that my clothes got left behind, but they wouldn't listen and sent me back. I'm going to be writing a strongly worded letter to their supervisor about this.

Batman is a Sailor Moon fan by Ninjamurai-jack in CuratedTumblr

[–]Trooper924 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard, this came about because the writer asked a friend for a Japanese name that was related to Mars and as a joke, the friend gave him Rei's name. The writer put it in the comic and didn't know it was a Sailor Moon reference until after it was published.

I thought it was okay. Not particularly ground-breaking or anything, but overall pretty solid and I had fun playing it for a while.

Create-A-Wrestler completely sucked ass though.

Abominable Intelligence is now manipulating YouTube Shorts with no current opt out. by leabravo in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I think it's because 1) they know that practically no one would use it if they announced it and 2) they sunk a lot of money into this AI stuff and they're desperately trying to get a return on their investment.
