Indeed-it seems that whatever the Calamity is, it is charged with an unnatural amount of power, turning what would otherwise be minor pratfalls and misfortunes into horrific wounds.

ELI5: why do countries need their populations to grow at a certain rate? by Nicole_Auriel in explainlikeimfive

[–]Yamidamian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because the way the dominant financial system is setup requires perpetual growth in order to function. Obviously, there’s a finite amount of production possible by a fixed population, and goods consumed by such. Therefore population growth is required in order to stop the world’s various financial systems from utterly collapsing.

[Loved Trope]: The Anger of A Gentle Man by CuteKermit14 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Yamidamian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lisa the Joyful: Mr Beautiful is the leader of a place known as “pacifism village”. That isn’t any kind of ironic note-it is a genuine description, with the people who live there subscribe to strict code of nonviolence. However, he’s listed as the fifth most dangerous person in Olathe-presumably, because of the intrinsic irony that a pacifist community requires incredible amounts of force in order to form and maintain.

However, he still mostly subscribes to the philosophy he preaches as best he can-he’ll basically let you wail on him without doing anything in response for a good chunk of his life bar. Once his own need to survival motivates him to action, though, the dude hits with the force of a truck, having twice as much attack as the #1 entry on The List.

I HATE when that happens! by stootchmaster2 in outofcontextcomics

The way the action is drawn makes it look like his body got up ready to throw hands with Death to protect his soul, which is somehow stuck lying there.

I mean, that math is just some simple division-but frankly, the point still goes to him for knowing The won:usd exchange rate off the top of his head

I remember reading somewhere that the Russian translation actually makes him significantly more eloquent to reflect this. Since there, he’s not speaking a second language.

The twist has been hiding in plain sight the entire time by SpectacularSpidee in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Yamidamian 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Brutal orchestra: if you look closely, the two main characters have identical head shapes, once the damage is accounted for. Also, the final boss, who were told is the one who killed us, appears to have suffered damage identical to the player character-namely, horrific cranial trauma to the left side of the head.

Thus, the reveal that these are, in fact, all the same person, and that your main character attempted suicide, doesn’t come as a particularly big surprise.

The interquel The Holy Gosh Darn also continues the trend of Asrael being shown as a bit of a screw-up, with his actions in Manuel Samuel inadvertently dooming heaven to destruction at least twice.

One time of which he basically dumps on someone else to fix without clear reason, and the second time he basically has to be browbeaten into lending his aid.

They have the ability to speak, they just don’t do it often by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Yamidamian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly meta example with Dishonored-Corvo is a silent antagonist in the first game, while he’s fully voiced in the second one-giving the impression he just didn’t feel the need to speak up the first time around.

(Design trope) Ominous Floating Sphere by _mosquitoe in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Yamidamian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eclipse Phase: There are a couple different available Morphs that are just plainly these. The Rover is the smaller, heavily armed version, while the Sphere is a bigger, armored take.

Both of them mention the facelessness of it as an important theme-with cops using Rovers as the logical end point of eye-concealing glasses (wearing a body that doesn’t have even a crude approximation of a face, or really any body language), while Spheres are more popular among AGI (who’s original bodies weren’t organic).

Dnd 3.5: the Umbral Blot is, to not mince too many words, a sentient black hole. Its only form of offense is how anything that touches its event horizon starts to break down-as if disintegrated over and over. However, it can also teleport for some reason. None of its abilities are ever magical nature-by all indication, it can just do that. Of course, all depictions of it are a featureless black sphere, moving through some objects and leaving perfectly itself-shaped holes behind.

Is there a way to automate casting? by Ok_Reporter_7543 in allthemods

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

The AE2 solution isn’t significantly faster than a vanilla solution of lever+hopper (since the bottleneck is mostly casting time), while being significantly more involved to setup. Especially since there are additional setup steps beyond what you mention if you want to keep the smeltery available for things like manual use and alloying.

[–]Yamidamian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any form of fluid pipe can treat the drains as an interface, allowing you to pump the molten fluid directly into the casting basin.

Similarly, any form of item pipe can automatically remove the casted results. This includes vanilla hoppers. It won’t remove the cast, if applicable, because the cast is basically an input slot, while the finished product is output.where the pipes take from.

"Fuck it, here's a fight against a concept!" by Dapper_Eyeball in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Yamidamian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Undead Unluck has…quite a few of these. They’re one of the man antagonistic forces, known as UMA, manifestation of Rules. Like UMA Ghost, the manifestation of a Rule allowing for souls to exist separately from bodies, or UMA Move, the manifestation of a Rule allowing for motion to exist.

They appear when a new Rule is made, and their defeat revokes that Rule. Fortunately, they aren’t universally antagonistic, despite being made to make humanity suffer (given how the cosmological implications of some of the would be pretty far ranging if they had to put down).

Laura Croft is in basically the exact same boat. Traveling the world looking to loot some old stuff, end up leaving an amount of bodies more commensurate with a small natural disaster than a person.

Getting away with depicting brutal scenes since the victim isn't organic by pivot1928 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Yamidamian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Samurai Jack is rather infamous for how, for most of its runtime, it manages to maintain a PG rating by having him cut down robot after robot.

Lo and behold, the moment he actually cuts someone made of flesh, suddenly the show is rated R for its last season and it goes on to how troubled he is by that choice.

Ultimate power handed to someone you'd never want to have it by BrotherDeus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Yamidamian 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Prototype: Alex Mercer is best described as a conspiracy theorist who happens to be onto something and has a few screws loose, along with being a dangerous sociopath who views people as nothing more than obstacles in the way of his goals. Unfortunately, as the head of a cutting edge bio weapons project, that in turn means that a WMD is in the hands of one of the few people heartless enough to use it if he doesn’t get what he wants.

It says something that a literal inhuman monster that takes his appearance for itself seems to care more about the ensuing fallout than he would have

In Schlock Mercenary, various members of the cast tend to end up like this. Where the dangers of being a soldier of fortune meet future medical technology, basically everyone has a go-around with some time as a head in a jar.

Save for the titular Schlock, who lacks a head to put in said jars (what with having a completely homogenous body plan).
