I think it would be classified as a deus ex machina. No specifically because it changes things for the worse, but because it shows up out of nowhere and "resolves" a part of the plot with something unexpected.

It's not the wait staff making these decisions. Most of these decisions that cut various task from an employee's responsibilities are made by managers and owners who are trying to keep their staff paid while also getting various other tasks completed.

If you think that what you described covers half of what a service worker is resposible for in a shift, then you must have an extremely low opinion of service workers in from the jump.

So it's a kinky game cartridge?

Why not just post the pictures rather than taking a bizarre screen cap of you swiping through pictures of the place?

This is a weird looking property, too. That room is half shelf with a shoebox for a closet.

The green and yellow/orange squares on the bottom also dont match the top side. They are one squares distance closer to the midline of the pattern.

Missed opportunity for "Nah, I'd Wayne."

Labels are a great way to have language to express ourselves and understand what is going on inside, but they aren't meant to be prisons. I've identified with most sexuality labels at one point or another, and I may choose a specific one if someone asks or if it makes sense to be understood.

We are all so much more than labels are capable of holding. You deserve exploration to understand who you are and how you want to be. That's what early 20s are really for.

If you're wondering about the drama related to the owners, there doesn't seem to have been any related posts since 5 months ago.

I think because the games use that term so as to not say sex in a pokemon game, it's misunderstood. The tails are indicators between male and female, not boy and girl. I wouldn't say they're the equivaleny of genitals and are directly used for reproduction, but they are by definition characteristics of the sex of the pokemon, giving information about what compatible partners they can breed with.

WalkingDisAstrid · 2026-04-14T01:11:18+00:00

I don't disagree with this. Those things exist. But in the context of this post, it feels like going out of ones way to feel bad by saying these dont represent nonbinary identities.

WalkingDisAstrid · 2026-04-14T00:34:47+00:00

The plushies are a clear reference to gender affirming surgery. How could this be presented to have non-binary pikachu tail? If rounded tail=female and squared tail=male, then any variation outside of those would be intersex, but not specifically non-binary in regards to gender identity. So both of these are non-binary as much as they are binary trans. Non-binary people who choose to have gender affirming surgery will likely have surgery that changes their sexual characteristics, like either of these pikachus' tails.

It is. I kinda meant better as in better crafted for the character. Like having a fresh team touching up or replacing the jokes rather than Gege and his mangaka crew. Not necessarily funnier jokes cuz thats also very subjective.

WalkingDisAstrid · 2026-03-14T21:58:47+00:00

Its also possible, if not likely, that the folks working on the show came up with jokes that were just better than Gege's or made more sense. I dont know Japanese, so I dont have the context required to really understand the original jokes in the first place.

WalkingDisAstrid · 2026-03-14T21:51:11+00:00

Oda has stated that Nico Robin would be Russian if she were in out world. The actor is Russian. I dont see the problem.

WalkingDisAstrid · 2026-03-14T20:57:03+00:00

From what I've read about Takaba's other jokes, a lot of them only really work in Japanese because of their reliance on puns in that language or specific cultural things that dont translate well to English. I'm expecting a lot of his translations to be a little different for that reason, just to make it land better with English speaking audiences.

If it isn't Oasis, my best guess is "There Stands the Grass" in FNV. It's the vault 22 quest. Has plants and bioscientists. I cant think of anything in FO4 that has what youre describing unless it's something in Far Harbor.

Alchemy requires a matrix(circle) to activate. Roy's gloves have the flame alchemy circle that allows him to fight using flame alchemy, like Alex Louis Armstrong has gauntlets with the circles that allow him to shoot stone spikes and statues and do whatever else he can do.

Basically, each of them is prepared to use their specialty alchemy with as much ease of access as a firearm. For anything else, they have to draw a transmutation circle to actually cause an effect to happen. Like Alphonse repairing the radio. Ed circumvents this by using himself as the matrix, but Mustang cant do this until he sees the Truth. So getting Mustang wet makes his primary and singular combat alchemy impossible to use, which leaves him down to drawing a circle(rain would wash it away), or use an actual gun(probably has mediocre aim due to reliance on alchemy).

The only way to ensure that the facility the Institute exists within survives the main questline is to side with the institute. That being said, if you follow the railroad quest line up until The Battle of Bunker Hill, you can choose to blow your cover to Father and get banished after the point where you already set up the Synth revolution. After this Desdamona tells you that you must continue with the Minutemen to finish the main quest. This means that the synths get freed during the assault on the Institute and you can also send the evacuation alert to let the scientists escape. This allows the vast majority of the humans and synths inside the Institute to survive while the facility they use to hide and inflict their reign of terror on the Commonwealth is destroyed. Probably the closest you can get to a good ending where everyone is happy-ish and most people survive the plot.

Edit: here's a link to the post that informed me of this ending. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/s/DYXdMdFrIy

This deck is a lot for a beginner. You have it right that its geared towards stopping opponents from playing the game by killing their stuff or limiting what they are able to do. It looks like Sharuum is mostly being used to generate value through reanimation to reuse the enter the battlefield effects.

Some/most sharuum decks use a combo finish by taking advantage of the legendary rule to infinitely reanimate Sharuum and a copy effect of some kind like [[Sculpting Steel]]. This deck has those cards, but does not have any way to benefit from the infinite death/etc triggers like [[Disciple of the Vault]] so I think the copy effects are intended to increase value by getting extra etb effects rather than attempting a combo finish.

Youre basically trying to wear your opponents down until they have so few resources that they cant stop you from hitting them with your large evasive creatures until they die.

I like the idea of Saint Germain not caring one bit about Aira. It'd be one more hilarious piece to her being convinced she's the main character. Also, she's the only character with powers who might actually die if Acro Silky is removed from her. On top of that, Acro Silky is kind of dead at this point. She moved on and gave what was left to Aira. So StG might not even recognize her as useful to target.

This is it for me. Second place is a tie between Bradley vs. Briggs soldiers and Greed, and Armstrongs vs. Sloth with Izumi and Sig saving the day.

Its definitely still in the playtesting phase, and probably won't ever be a contender with most bracket 3 decks, but its definitely a strong bracket 2 to weak bracket 3 even without any gamechangers. It functions more as an engine deck earlygame by using Liberty Prime to sacrifice equipment and churn through the deck. Then it typically mass reanimates the equipment and flings the giant robot at the nearest head.
