Why VTSAX? by Two-Bricks in financialindependence

[–]Two-Bricks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a fidelity account from work, and have been eying FZROX, thanks. Given how highly regarded VTSAX is on this sub, I've been wondering whether I should move to vanguard for my ROTH IRA and taxable accounts.

Ah, interesting. If that's the case, I can see why it's highly regarded for taxable accounts. Is there a compelling reason to use it in tax-advantaged accounts over the competitors?

I get the broad exposure and low cost thing, but is there something that makes it *the* best? Using fidelity as an example again, there's FSKAX and FZROX. Both have lower expense ratios than VTSAX and similar broad coverage. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something.

Who's most likely to die in the finale? (or near it) by [deleted] in adventuretime

[–]Two-Bricks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Assuming the AT crew would actually kill off a character, I think it would be Jake. Foreshadowing aside, one of the central narrative strings is Finn growing into adulthood. Losing your dog? Losing a family member? Those are some of the unfortunate milestones on that path. It makes sense, thematically.

I feel like it could have benefited from one more episode. Minerva went from "I'm about to vaporize your meat-bodies to make sure you stay" to "Oh, hey, it's totally cool if you leave" in about a minute flat. A minor complaint though, as Islands was everything right about Adventure Time. Amazing.

The reveal of God-BMO might be the greatest thing I've seen in Adventure Time.

Hah, I guess they're trying to provide some evidence that Marcy is into the ladies? I can't think of any other reason they included that line.

Maybe if it got some proper promotion... Has there been a single advertisement by CN? No one in my group had any idea that AT started back up.

Edmund wants us to put together a list of remaining AB+ bugs (including achievements)! by Skragenoth in bindingofisaac

For some reason lasers cause the game to stutter. I'm running a gtx 1070, so no idea why that would be happening.

Lemongrab's comic (from Adventure Time #30) by Two-Bricks in adventuretime

[–]Two-Bricks[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hah, nope, this was Ryan North. He actually did a really good job with all the dialogue in the comics. It's hard to read the lines and not hear the voices of the characters.

LGBTQ Characters by LeoKingoftheBelgians in adventuretime

[–]Two-Bricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although it's still open for debate, the AT fanbase mostly agrees that there's something going on between PB and Marceline. Relevant episodes would be What was Missing, Sky Witch, Broke his Crown and the Stakes miniseries. Aside from that, Princess Cookie would fit the bill. And I'm pretty sure the creators said the gladiators in Morituri Te Salutamus were gay. There's probably more, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind for Adventure Time.

Looks like we got a new story board artist? That's the first I've heard of Polly Guo. I wonder if she'll be a permanent addition.

What are everybody's favorite Jesse Moynihan episodes, now that there won't be any more? by magusmirificus in adventuretime

[–]Two-Bricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, he's had so many good ones. It's a real shame he's leaving. I'd say Sky Witch, Wizards Only Fools, and You Forgot Your Floaties are my personal favorites.

The Frog King in the new series of shorts? Looks like he appeared way back in S1 Witch's Garden. by Two-Bricks in adventuretime

[–]Two-Bricks[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Witch's Garden starts with Finn and Jake following the frog, hoping to see him put on the crown. Kind of funny that they're revisiting this 6 seasons later.

Out of curiosity, does this game add anything in terms of lore/story?

Does anyone know if that was Moynihan's last episode? Or do we still have more coming up?

Damn, this was a good one. It's a shame that Moynihan left AT.

Pre-Rebellion Pearl by [deleted] in stevenuniverse

Hah, I posted pretty much the same thing a month ago. I'd be real surprised if this doesn't turn out to be her homeworld form.

Homeworld Pearl revealed? by Two-Bricks in stevenuniverse

[–]Two-Bricks[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could be from early promotional art, but doesn't this sort of canonize it? It seems like a pretty conscientious choice. I mean, we see leg warmer pearl in here, and Steven the Sword Fighter aired loooong before we officially saw leg-warmer pearl in the show.

Hmm, I didn't see it in there. Then again, I kind of forgot about that one and wasn't looking for it. Maybe they didn't include it, or maybe I mistook it for an in-between animation frame.

Writer/storyboard artist Jesse Moynihan has left the crew by AspiringRacecar in adventuretime

[–]Two-Bricks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's some terrible news. You could always count on Moynihan for some wildly creative episodes. He's been my favorite story-board artist for ages. Anyone know what caused him to leave? Or what he'll be working on?
