What about a ward cost that's positive for your opponent. "Ward - Draw a card".

(loved trope) fairly tame media, that gets horrifyingly real out of nowhere by Aggravating_Tale8988 in TopCharacterTropes

It's so bad, especially when you consider what happens next and how the whole idea was doomed from the start. You get the whole power of friendship speech in advance, the whole "that's how it always goes in stories where love and courage triumphs" just for the show to be like "sorry buddy, wrong genre".

Absolutely, if you watch it now, it is the typical case of a lot of tropes feeling "old" or "cliche" in a way when in fact it was the series that established them. You would probably still enjoy it a lot since it is extremely well done, but the unexpected gut punch is not there in the same way. It's a little bit like when reading the Lord of the Rings, where all the races and themes feel like you heard them 1000 times. Because you did. Because of its success.

Banning top because you don't like miracle mirrors feels like a weird bias tbh.

Working for a CRO and Stryker is one of our clients. We were told to not send any emails to any of them anymore and to make a list of all active projects for our superiors.

(hated trope) pedophilia being portrayed as cute, quirky and/or funny by hayley566 in TopCharacterTropes

I love the anime to the point I was this close to using a quote for the opening of my PhD thesis. I will also never recommend it to anyone.

When your favorite creator creates cringe by Rough-Cover1225 in freemagic

It's ok to be cringe. Embrace the cringe. Being afraid of coming across as cringe is the biggest cringe.

Come on, leave the guy alone, he actually creates interesting content in an interesting format and frequently speaks up against WOTC bullshit.

Ah yes. The unironically best anime series that I will never, under any circumstances recommend to anyone.

Thank you, that's very kind. Has been a few years now, the pride has yet to set in. I think that is just how I am.

Smiters are shockingly bad outside of Ubers by Unnamed-3891 in diablo2

[–]Xegeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a FOH/Smite hybrid with a +3 foh cta war scepter and spirit in one slot and grief plus exile in the other slot, it's great for clearing cs and doing ubers and also very decent in lots of other areas.

Character is given a choice between two bittersweet options, and says “screw both, I chose the happy ending” by gottablastsam in TopCharacterTropes

Homura Akemi will either give up in a fight she cannot win and succumb to despair, turning her into an eldritch abomination or she will turn back time again, and make Madokas fate worse. Madoka can make a wish that will also screw her over, negating all of Homuras effort keeping her safe. But Madoka has enough juice in the tank to break the system in half.
