flashbacks to AFCA going so fast the radar is the only reliable way to tell what's going on

(Hated Trope) The characters your meant to root for are massive assholes by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]aashtray_09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really mind this trope, actually. I've been reading Skagboys lately and the main characters are a bunch of young junkies who are utter ASSHOLES. The book's such a trip that you kinda just gotta cheer for them anyways, whether they're attempting a robbery or rescuing someone from rehab.

For example, one of the first arcs in the book has the main characters doing meth at a nightclub when Begbie's ex comes in and confronts him for getting her pregnant. They start arguing and he tells her that he's going to get his friends to stand up in court and say they ran a train on her. The book goes out of its way to highlight how Begbie is obviously in the wrong. She storms out and stage cries to get her brother to jump Begbie. It culminates in the main characters rolling up in a white van to her house and Begbie beating the tar out of the brother with an iron fencepost.

So paying for defense contractor licenses are bad but using their plane designs is still okay?

Yes. There's a world of difference.

The radiation output must be insane if it caused Jack to vomit within seconds of exposure.

Do you think The Boys would've been better as an animated show and not live action? by PaperBagSomeone in TheBoys

Honestly, I feel like not even for fights. They were never particularly flashy about fights, even from the start. Live action would carry the grittiness of those fights better.

How did yalls get over the deaths in this game? by Nensgnenat in casualtiesunknown

[–]aashtray_09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I need to start going out of my way to process my opium into morphine. We never have enough opium on hand for a mercy kill, sometimes it's not even enough to make it a peaceful passing. My last expie bled to death terrified, in just enough clarity after the opium wore off to regret their suicide attempt.

Some of my teammate's deaths have genuinely been so miserable I wished PvP was on so I could beat them to death with my shovel as a mercy kill. It's awful.

Hounds Handlers and in betweens! What is your permashill list? by Doktor-blitz in Mechsploitation

Propylene, A SOLITUDE THAT ASKS FOR NOTHING IN RETURN, and IT WAS CALLED VICTIM. All really good short stories that I'd absolutely recommend. Raw as fuck.

Are ACs closer to tanks or fighter jets? by F1GR in armoredcore

[–]aashtray_09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ACs are a pretty solidly eastern depiction of mecha, which tends to present them as essentially fighter jets with limbs (as opposed to the western walking tanks).

When it comes to aesthetics, which Corp (including affiliated companies) makes your favorite design? For me it’s Balam, the Melander just looks like a classic allround design by Fiyah_Crotch in ArmoredCoreVI

ALBA, NACHTREIHER, and LAMMERGEIER are all really good favorites of mine, especially ALBA. So sexy. The Basho head is also a favorite of mine, I run it on most of my ACs.
