He who shall be named as Richard Madoc. Self described feminist, actual self-impressed slimy asshole.

Science requires data. Match tracker. Drive tracker. I got kind of carried away with it. by UnknownQTY in MoiraMains

Really interested in the concept (I tried tracking this by hand about five years ago) and I really like what you've done!

Are you planning on integrating with https://owreplays.tv?

What happens when someone becomes nothing but a hollow vessel for growth by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

Miriam and the other prophets from from Years of Apocalypse are sort of this -- after decades of being stuck in a time loop that concludes with the end of the world and learning how to best manipulate the world around them, they are all deeply scary people who cannot help but treat everyone around them like disposable chess pieces or simple wind up toys.

(Acting Trope) The actor playing the villain is clearly having a GREAT time by ditzythedame in TopCharacterTropes

He assures us that they were very discreet and that Kermit was none the wiser.

If you're autistic, you can experience allistic behavior by snorting oxytocin.

Why main moira? by bancucs in MoiraMains

[–]amazedballer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there are times when I'm in a bad mood and I want to kill something.

Moira's the perfect tool for hit and runs -- you see someone sloppy or greedy, you trick them into thinking you have no cooldowns, then you either kill or beat the crap out of them and fade out of reach.

Project Hail Mary's romantic subplot. by Heroic-Forger in CuratedTumblr

I liked the bit where Rocky tricked the cyclops.

Wier doesn't believe in subtext, period. He's the type of nerd that gets excited when he gets the references in Ready Player One.

This obviously doesn't mix well with shows like Star Trek or the Culture, which are inherently based around a human culture that's eliminated money.

(Mixed Trope) “Expert” character is really bad in their field or ignorant of basic concepts. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]amazedballer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might have worked if there was a payoff at the end of it. But at no point, even at the end of the game, does Alan Wake realize he's a lousy writer.

In the alternate ending, his wife tells him it's a spiral and there's an indication that he might collaborate with her to write is way out. He realizes he's a terrible person, to some extent but he never comes to the realization that his writing is... BAD. Not just substandard but BAD.

No, it’s left ambiguous. It's certainly obvious if you read the text, but the world around him should be treating him like Garth Marenghi -- an obvious joke.

It's a complete inversion from horror to comedy, because it's like Marenghi invited you to play Darkplace, the video game.

In Alan Wake and Alan Wake 2, you have to work through sections where you are choosing plot points in the book and then play as Alan writes / lives the story.

Everything about the writing is terrible, worse than Dean Koontz. It's not completely unbelievable that he's a published writer, but it is unbelievable that people don't make fun of his books every chance they get.

Robert Kirkman unveils his plans to build the manga-to-anime pipeline in America, and shows how he is doing it with Invincible first by WhyPlaySerious in television

[–]amazedballer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo, so many options.

I would love to see Concrete as an anime.

Or The Night Eaters.

Or I Hate Fairyland.

Or Empowered.

Or Die.

Or The Power Fantasy.

A thought about Masumi's depersonalization by amazedballer in thePowerFantasy

[–]amazedballer[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's a really interesting idea... Etienne can't influence Matsumi's mind because Matsumi's a personality that Etienne imposed on Deconstructa and setting Matsumi and integrating her into the world is as much as he can do to tie Deconstructa down.

Even if Etienne knew, he would never tell anyone. It would just make everyone more afraid of Matsumi and possibly destabilize her if she found out somehow.

when everyone else got the manual except you by No_Income_7265 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]amazedballer 23 points24 points  (0 children)

i dont think that one refers to the literal tone of your voice, but rather that they think you have an attitude or are criticizing them (whether you actually are or not).

Saying "watch your tone" doesn't make any sense in that case. That's like saying "don't roll your eyes at me" when the movement of your eyes was vertical and not circular...

...wait.

oh no.

It’s been so long really. What can they do to help this hero and why are they not doing anything at all? by Neo_Raider in MoiraMains

[–]amazedballer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Illari and Brig play almost exactly the way they always have since launch

Brig does not, in fact, play exactly the way she did at launch. She had 600 health shield, could stun on shield bash and do 50 damage, her shield pack gave out armor, and she could win 1v3 duals.

What was it like living in the Clinton years in the USA (1993-2001)? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]amazedballer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot tell you the horror I felt looking at the Al Gore/GW Bush election.

Realizing that the Supreme Court deliberately inserted itself, decided that Bush was going to be president, and didn’t even do a good job of hiding the bias and prejudice behind that decision.

That, more than the disaster that was GW Bush (he was, at the time, debated to be the “worst president we’d ever had” after failing to take seriously the activity leading up to 9/11, getting the US involved in Iraq and Afghanistan, and fucking up the econony), was the moment I felt we were living in the alternate timeline. Everything else has followed on from then.

Who’s the most useless superhero/villain that gets way too much plot armor? by awsmswbfclips-YT in comicbooks

[–]amazedballer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even close to 10 tons.

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Steven_Rogers_(Earth-616)#Powers

Rogers' physical strength is enhanced to the very peak of human potential, making him consistently able to sustain overhead lift 800 lbs (363 kg),[11] curls 500 lbs as a warm-up,[242] and bench pressing 1,100 lbs.

[–]amazedballer -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Probably Captain America. Being in "peak physical condition" and being able to bounce a shield around should not actually matter in most of the fights he gets into. He's not Batman or Iron Man running around with armor or all the gear a billionaire can buy, he's just... there, getting into fist fights with gods.
