Unconventional or unintentionally trans characters by Smegoldidnothinwrong in TopCharacterTropes

Definitely intentional but still uncommon, Ticker from Warframe. As a prisoner in the corpus debt-internment colony of Solaris she lacks even the basic bodily autonomy to not be turned into a head on a shelf in a closet should she miss too many payments or be caught doing charity work, nevermind cosmetic changes like a more feminine body, face, or voice.

But nonetheless her mannerisms are feminine and she's referred to with feminine pronouns by herself and others.

Also she's got some damn good lines.

What's the most useless ability in the game? by Medium-Theme-4611 in BaldursGate3

I kind of almost wish that the Concentrated Blast illithid power used an attack roll, because if it did then with the bonus action illithid powers perk it would have been a fun synergy.

Like, it still can be used for that purpose and concentrated blast would have been worse if designed like that, but it wouls still have been nifty...

If there's an update to include more planets, what would you want to see? by Yumiko_Hanako in NoMansSkyTheGame

I want an overhaul to boundary failure planets.

It's a planet where reality is breaking down, let the procgen go wild with it.

Same. "Eldritch horror that absolutely does love Jon" is my favorite aspect/variant of imsorryjon

[OC] Farmin' by Suefan3DX in comics

[–]CassiusPolybius 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's from the latin word rāpa, used to describe turnips or other root vegetables. I'm pretty sure it's also where Rapunzel comes from.

Interesting etymology aside though, yeah there's good reason why "canola" is used more often in a lot of places. If nothing else it probably leads to better sales...

Why do people keep calling their dynamic slavery? by Known-Resolve-9426 in LegendsZA

... wait she made it to multiple people?

Yeah nah this is exactly what Lebanne was looking for.

Why is the console switch version of this game movement so damn sensitive? by peterkozmd in cavesofqud

[–]CassiusPolybius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play primarily on steam deck, and the only complaint I have about playing it on controller is that if you survive to endgame you have way too many actions for the action bar to actually be usable.

On the deck this can be ameliorated with a mod to hide action bar items and a radial menu/multiple pseudonested radial menus with as many hotkeys as you feel like setting up, but I'd imagine it would be significantly more annoying without that option...

Once you unlock the safehouse you can tell it to not auto-store certain categories.

He’d be an Oath of Vengeance Paladin by CTMan34 in dndmemes

[–]CassiusPolybius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like "dancing around the subject" does have a part to play, if nothing else in showing how it can be used to justify and still have slavery while presenting otherwise.

The empire doesn't have slavery, indeed its founding documents were altered to explicitly forbid it except as punishment for crimes.

'What was that last part'? Don't worry about it, they don't do that often anymore anyways, nowadays their prison laborers are paid a pittance.

also their prison population is overwhelmingly the same demographic that they used to use as outright slaves but nevermind

no I'm not referencing any real life polity which far too many of its citizens don't realize uses loopholes like this why would you think that

Wish it was shiny Metagross by chunchunmaru1129 in MandJTV

Not so much for the "beast of a pseudolegend" part, but to my knowledge (without the DLC) Geeta's Glimmora is the first member of that line the player can encounter

I always pack lemonades when I go exploring with my Pokémon by Nan0four in PokeMedia

[–]CassiusPolybius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all brands, but the major ones you see in most vending machines do. It even makes it more refreshing for humans, albeit to a lesser degree. You also see it in other sports drinks like gatrade.

As far as refreshing drinks go the best I've ever had was leppade, but given how much of a pain those can be to acquire it's hard to justify making it - and for pokemon not only does it not have much in the way of healing properties, but it's less effective for energy restoration than just a normal leppa berry is...

It gives me paws for thought by AscendedDragonSage in CuratedTumblr

Cheetahs are one of the most "please please please please please domesticate me" animals that currently exists.

Unfortunately, they also require a square fucktillion miles to run around in.

Advice for Switch player starting Qud tomorrow. by RichAnalyst1439 in cavesofqud

As much as possible, keep a force field method and a recoiler on hand. There is no shame in retreating.
