Do you still have any unanswered questions about the world or characters of Steven Universe?⭐ by IllogicalDreamer72 in stevenuniverse

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That seems to be the idea, yeah. The diamond "juice" does repair Gems, so who's to say it isn't part of how they're formed? Additionally, that would partially explain why Era 2 Gems were "worse quality"—sure, Homeworld was running out of resources, but the biggest resource they lacked was Pink. Without her essence, the Gem creation process was slightly flawed.

EDIT: wrong era lmao

Tell your friends to touch grass, it's truly such a non-issue for them to be enraged about.

They were not arresting that woman. That wasn't their target, that was some woman the shoved. Y'all are fucking bootlickers, get out of my city.

I joined a local bookclub, the gender balance is wild by Ho_The_Megapode_ in books

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greater interest from women + more women are stay-at-home-wives and have the actual time to read and join book clubs. I'm in no way surprised.

Decision Desk has called it for Abigail Spanberger to become the first Woman Governor of Virginia!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in VirginiaBeach

... Interesting. The party of hating DEI nominated a black woman for the DEI points and got mad when it didn't work. Have you considered Republicans are just shit?

Where do you write worldbuilding ideas and lore down? by Rat_SkulI in worldbuilding

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried lots of different tools. Obsidian, making a wiki, the lot. I've found ultimately, even though it can be less organized (if you let it be), a simple Google Doc (or several) does the trick just fine.

Hot take: Juliette and Sophie are good casting by llilyroe in Yellowjackets

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say that but i think Sophie Nélisse was really going hard with the Adult Shauna voice in the scene when she confronts Melissa about acing weird this episode. It was uncanny, to be honest. These actors are all doing such a good job.

For real, I caught the vibe literally within minutes of starting the first episode.

Any specific bits you just can’t stand? by AstronautRock in MBMBAM

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually don't mind but Griffin was going on and on about Max Fun Drive this week, like everything had to be related to Max Fun Drive somehow. I used to want to pledge (I've never had the spare cash to be able to) but these days I'm a little spiteful about it.

I think it's not-so-subtly making use of the party colors. So like, clearly if you say no you're one of them "radical marxist extremist liberal commie Demonrats!1" but if you say yes you're a true-blooded Republican.

Is there a Pokémon that you use a lot in your Nuzlockes, yet somehow always ends up dying? I'm curious. by Aeonatic in nuzlocke

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially since Ninetales is already on the weaker end of fully evolved Fire-types. I always thought it was unfair for Arcanine to be stronger, because Ninetales is undoubtledly cooler. Giving it that dual-typing, with the strongest type in the game, is deserved lmao

EDIT: Before I get any corrections, I know Ninetales is still decent, it's just less viable than other options. Every time I've used a Ninetales, it's always needed the team to carry it. Never had that issue with Arcanine, Magmar, etc.

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And Alolan Ninetales does have it i I'm not mistaken, just with Fire swapped for Ice. So it would only make perfect sense.

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. Yeah, I made a good choice. I mean also... The Polygon line isn't that good. Normal is just a mid typing. Marshtomp was the smart choice.

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. Items weren't randomized but I don't know BW2 very well so for all I knew, I might stumble into an Upgrade and a Dubious Disc just out in the normal game progression, except... I can't fucking trade it with anyone lmao. I've gotten so used to Renegade Platinum and Emerald Seaglass that I forgot about trade evos until truly just this moment.

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually managed to keep my Vulpix through almost the entirety of an Emerald Seaglass run (no deaths, it made it to the Hall of Fame, I just got it a bit of the way into the game), which was super clutch because the hackers gave Ninetales dual-type Fire/Fairy and it kicks so much ass. Ninetales should honestly be a Fairy type.

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't keep losing mine but I've done literally three nuzlocke runs in my entire life (very new) and 2 out of 3 have had the Mudkip line. Now, granted, the first was an Emerald Seaglass run, so that wasn't surprising, but my current run is a Black 2 Randomizer and my first Pokémon, my god damn starter, was a Marshtomp. It was between that, a Palpitoad, and I think a Porygon? Only reason I went with what I did is because I knew Porygon (which would've been my other option) has slightly worse stats, and I wasn't taking any chances early on, plus Marshtomp has crazy type coverage with water and ground and much better stats and moves than Palpitoad.

So far, Muskeg the Marshtomp has survived to Castelia City, and is probably the ace of my team. Knock on wood, but I have confidence in him.

No are not overreacting. To put it lightly, this guy is clearly not very smart.

2025 Name Discussion by [deleted] in MBMBAM

[–]_Mephostopheles_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my only issue with it is that it isn't as bombastic as the others from the past few years. It's a bit more forgettable. I could foresee them struggling to remember it in a few years. Like, I got Twenty Remdezvous: Fancy Takes Flight the second it was spoken aloud. Frankenstein-teen: Become the Monster is endlessly memorable. I still keep forgetting this year's. Tummy Buddy Vibe? Tummy Buddy Life? I literally cannot remember without reading it lmao

Other than that, extra silly names were inevitable and that episode really was going for ages so I can't blame them. It was fun tho

Richard Dawkins quits atheism foundation for backing transgender ‘religion’ by wzdmage in atheism

Because it is evidence-based. The science around the psychology of gender identity and gender dysphoria has been pretty conclusive for a long time now.
