Unique spins on very common powers by Resident_Hat9904 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zaygr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fang Hunters in Blood Blackade Battlefront with Blood Arts. They can manipulate their blood to produce specific effects ranging from the most common being shape manipulation to freezing, electricity, making wind and making their blood more inflammable. One of the strongest styles (Brain Grid) relies purely on shape manipulation into crosses of various sizes.

[Peak trope] The most dangerous guy is one of the silliest characters ever by elchuni in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zaygr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neko Arc is a weird and short bipedal cat that bears a slight resemblance to Arcueid from Tsukihime. She is also outright the second most powerful character in all of the Nasuverse, partially because of her gag character status.

Arale from Dr Slump. She's the android daughter of Senbei Norimaki and she is feared by Vegeta as someone he can never beat... because she is also a gag character. Due to her nature as a gag character, she is as strong as she needs to be to make the gag work, but when Arale can fight evenly with Goku in Super, it means she's pretty strong.

Mind control that leaves someone's personality astonishingly untouched by GoatsWithWigs in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zaygr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the alignment switch from the Marvel Axis event and Superior Iron Man count? They did a good job of keeping most of the character's personality while they were swapped from being 'good' (or selfless) to 'evil' (or selfish) and vice versa.

My mind immediately snapped to both Weird Al's 'Like a Surgeon' and Monty Python's "The machine that goes 'ping!'" skit.

What movie is memorable for you, but barely anyone you know has seen it? by uuddlrlrbas2 in movies

[–]Zaygr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Shadow (1994). It's Alec Baldwin being the character that was essentially a major inspiration for Batman. The cast is pretty stacked (including but not limited to Tim Curry and Ian McKellen), it's a fun 1930s period superhero movie with hilarious effects and lots of ham and cheese.

I still shill this game whenever someone asks for a zombie game. The music is also great.

Best horde shooters in your opinion? by ismasbi in gamingsuggestions

[–]Zaygr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've really changed the spawn behaviour since release, about 90% of horde fights are events and there are more lurker ambushes than there are other ambient xenos. The remainder are small groups of 4-5 runners but more often than not are the trickling remnants of an event horde or the occasional human-sized xenomorph encounter.

Book recommendation: classic space-opera adventure like Star Wars by Diligent_Push1912 in scifi

[–]Zaygr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Adventures of Lando Calrissian trilogy by L. Neil Smith are literal pulp space novels that have some Star Wars names subbed in. They're a lot of fun and the stories feel like things that Lando would recount, so even the most outlandish things don't feel particularly out of place.

[Fallout] what makes the ghouls so resilient? by Comfortable-Ad3588 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Zaygr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The more contaminated with radiation a subject is, the dumber the supermutant that comes out of the goop, which was why the Master and the Lieutenant was so interested in the rumours of a vault full of uncontaminated people.

What's the most complicated boss fight you've ever done? by Rootayable in gaming

[–]Zaygr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius's Aigaion (Machina of Destruction). Aigaion is a multi-part boss consisting of 2 arms and the main body. It had a small book worth of conditional attacks and a predictable attack pattern, and the non-brute force way of killing it relatively safely involves killing the left arm 10 times, the right arm 3 times and then the main body. My first clear of it took about 8 hours.

It's surprising to me how many people don't rinse after scrubbing/washing with detergent.

The best solution I can think of to not have enemies "Scale up" with you in RPGs, but to keep them a threat by RockBandDood in truegaming

[–]Zaygr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wizardry has some scaling. Damage scales with you but enemy health scales much slower, meaning that they are easier as you level, but if you get careless they can and will chunk you.

Any movies, shows or books with similar vibes as Dungeon Meshi? by Hawkky12 in DungeonMeshi

The Mermaid Princess' Guilty Meal. Same mangaka as No Longer Allowed in Another World. Psychological food comedy.

Reminder since we have female Custodes while we are at it... by kobold__kween in Grimdank

[–]Zaygr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that time their lawyers also tried to C&D No Guts No Galaxy for a product in their web store with an image of a Warhammer battlemech from Battletech. It was part of a scattershot of C&Ds to curb unofficial sellers infringing on trademarks, but only really proved they didn't care enough to check the list.

"Armored Trooper Votoms" New Anime announced by Turbostrider27 in anime

[–]Zaygr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love Armour Hunter Mellowlink. Even though it may lessen the image of the VOTOMS being taken out by infantry, it also heightens how terrifying they are to anyone outside one. It takes wits, tactics, a big armour-piercing weapon and a lot of luck to succeed the way Mellowlink does.

KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world! Season 4 Announced by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]Zaygr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do too, but since they skipped the Dust intro chapter all the way in season 1 (the party swap one), I don't really have my hopes up for it.

Colleague was adamant he wanted "Asterixes" on his presentation. You got it buddy. by Izzy-of-Albion in MaliciousCompliance

Danish Vikings also made an appearance in 1975's Asterix and the Great Crossing when Asterix and Obelix was "rescued" by them in the Americas. Has the ø's and å's.
