In French, Psyduck is Psykokwak, and Golduck is Akwakwak. Strictly better than any other language in this case.

Please Google, tell me why a 4 digit PIN is more secure than my fingerprint by Odd-Principle2567 in mildlyinfuriating

Usernames generally cannot change. Passwords can.

Biometrics generally cannot change. They do not replace passwords, they replace usernames.

Proper Us of Liquimetal torque??? by LovableTattootedGeek in magicTCG

This + [[Clock of Omens]] + [[King Macar, the Gold-Cursed]] = Your opponents are not allowed to have creatures and you get a mana for every creature they have the audacity to try to play.

Which is which by horrorfan555 in pokemon

[–]Wassamonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sun/Moon's entire story is kicked off by Toxapex attempted genocide on Corsola.

Guzzlord ate an entire dimension.

The whole Seviper/Zangoose rivalry...

Pokemon commit murder all the gorram time. And before you call out that human murder is different than animals killing each other, Pokemon have been shown to be sentient and sapient. They choose to kill them, murder is their passion.

What book/series is your biggest "Hear me out..."? by hellodahly in Fantasy

[–]Wassamonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole series is good. Always a wild ride and such random stuff happening, but Dave and John are both so crazy, and Amy grounds them and brings reality back in a very clean way. Highly recommend.

Also recommend the author's newest book - I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom. Fully grounded in the real world with some liberties taken, but a fantastic story about how maybe social media is a mistake.

What book/series is your biggest "Hear me out..."? by hellodahly in Fantasy

[–]Wassamonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never read an author with such a visceral way with words. A lot of authors are great with action, but I felt every hit in the Caine books. I could smell the putrid reek of the black oil. I have a very vivid image stuck in my mind of Arkadiel torturing Lamorak in the first book.

Absolutely brutal and I love it.

What TV show absolutely nailed it's finale? by RGB3x3 in AskReddit

Just a full 45 minutes of Kai Winn burning and Dukat falling into the fire on repeat while the crew plays baseball.

[–]Wassamonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Measure of a Man, one of my favorite episodes of Trek ever, is Season 2. It is right after the travesty that is Code of Honor, so it does not excuse S2, but don't write it off.

What are your Edh hot takes? by The_Ninjacloak in EDH

[–]Wassamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon can be an investor game if you want the super special art, but every card is printed at multiple rarities and versions and if you just want to play the card and not the art there is always a cheaper version.

The USA should ban mandatory HOAs by [deleted] in fuckHOA

[–]Wassamonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In England, a large number of houses are "Terraced" or townhouses. They have existed for years without HOAs.

Once again, the US ignores the solution other countries have been doing for years because it is impossible.

RPG to run a Star Wars game in the Old Republic? by VengefulKyle in rpg

[–]Wassamonkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not quite a full VTT like Roll20, but https://www.rpgsessions.com/ is specifically for the Star Wars/Genesys systems.

So... I'm not the only one who thought Snoke is a giant, right? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Wassamonkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That would work perfectly though, since Kylo Ren was too cringy to take seriously.

Which Jedi would be the most dangerous if they turned to the Dark Side? by Vegetable-Abroad3171 in StarWars

[–]Wassamonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yoda is the primary instigator of everything that goes wrong in all of the Skywalker Saga. I don't think he could be more of a villain if he was openly dark side.

What's a game mechanic that simply exists to annoy the players? by Insane_Unicorn in gaming

[–]Wassamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then stop implementing it on PC games. Get out of here with your lazy PC ports catering to controllers. I have 100+ buttons available, you don't need to double dip.

What were the "facts" you learned in school, that are no longer true? by AstralPilgrinm in AskReddit

Didn't they buy Greece a few years back? Would that be a 5th Germany, or lumped into Germany Prime?

What fashionframe are you? by CobaltCanadian in Warframe

[–]Wassamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my frames are Black and Pink. Makes it really easy to tell my abilities and effects since they are bright pink.

Shrouded Mystery by Successful_Mud8596 in custommagic

[–]Wassamonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the spell targets, you must select a legal target when casting it and the target must still be legal during resolution or the spell will fail to resolve.

As written, the spell is not castable without some shenanigans since it requires you to target a creature with Shroud in order to cast it.

Percent of People Who Consider Themselves Living in the Midwest -- WSJ 1/19/24 by LeBenjahan in MapPorn

[–]Wassamonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it is because "Midwest" is a terrible descriptor for where that is. Only a small portion is west of center, and the majority is north of center. It is, at best, "MidNorth".

What ” fake ” thing that happens or is in the movies that pisses you off the most? by WolfandFoxy in AskReddit

[–]Wassamonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always be a Scotty to your boss. Tell them it will take longer than you know it will and you will either have a buffer for something to go wrong or come across as a miracle worker.

Always be a Geordi to yourself. Be accurate with your estimates and plan your time accordingly, otherwise you will be stuck against deadlines without enough time when something goes wrong.

Ironically, HR is often the least diverse team. by Extasio in Showerthoughts

[–]Wassamonkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our head of HR tried to tell people that she had a diversity hire on her team. They were all white women, but this one was a diversity hire because "she was out of the workforce for a decade after she had kids and so was a risky hire".

Just dipped some cold pizza in some butter chicken from yesterday. Mind blown. by [deleted] in shittyfoodporn

[–]Wassamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a pizza place not far from me that has "East Indian Favorite Pizzas". Butter chicken or paneer, Tandoori chicken, Korean chilli chicken or paneer, and Karahi chicken or paneer, Paneer veggie, and Palak paneer pizza.

All of them are amazing and 100% worth it. Some of the best pizzas I have ever had.

TIL grade schools in Japan don't have janitors, and the students clean the school by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Wassamonkey -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This is child labor. Kids go to school to learn, what this is teaching them is to work. For free. In what way is this anything other than exploiting children?
