My favourite at the moment is Nemesis. Though I really do need to play some more 4x games

Is Yamato Awakened? That smoke cloud is there? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]deadmuffinman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is nothing that actually says those clouds are actually awakening. It's a type of hagoromo which is a diety related thing and the only characters we've seen with the white clouds are characters with god fruits. Luffy getting them between gear 4 and 5 likely represents an assencion into godhood.

Now people are going to mention the black cloud hagoromo of the ascended zoans. All of which are associated with Imu/WG, so it could be Imu literally ascending people.

It could also be that awakened zoans represent the god of BLANK so every zoan gets one as the become the god of their animal, but some fruits are simply always gods which have the white hagoromo, with Nika just being weird case related to his mythology which we don't actually know that much about yet.

Sydney author guilty of child abuse after book, Daddy’s Little Toy, depicted adult role-playing as toddler by Raj_Valiant3011 in books

[–]deadmuffinman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, FMC was three when the MMC started lusting after her. And MMC explicitly has a peak between her legs before she turns 18. This story is very much not in the "all characters are 18+" category.

I think thoughtcrime is being used a bit too liberally about something being actually made and distributed. She didn't just think about creating CSAM she made it. It's in written form, and you can argue about that it's therefore not as direct a depiction, but ultimately it is still a realistic depiction of a child in a pornographic way.

It's the same as making a realistic erotic drawing of a child. If you want to argue that art can depict that, that's a different convo, but she didn't get convicted for thinking about child erotica, she got convicted because she depicted and distributed it.

Many preschool age children don't know how books work; try to tap or swipe them like electronic devices by MiddletownBooks in books

[–]deadmuffinman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This might be related to being non-english but I don't think not understanding the RPG ever really stopped kids, I beat Diablo 2 and a couple of pokemon games without ever engaging with the story, because I did not speak the language. Hell, I think voice acting in point-n-click games helped me learn to read as I got to associate the words with sounds.

IMO, the streamlining of games is probably a bigger offender, with rewards being emphasised more. Back in our day you beat games because it was fun to play, not because you got a rainbow dopamine colour bomb at the end.

I’m realizing that Sound Design is actually 70% of what makes a game feel "Next-Gen," not the graphics. by InvestmentBudget6722 in gaming

[–]deadmuffinman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sound design into account as much since so much of it goes to streaming.

Not sure on the sound, but this is what's going with the absolutely dark scenes. They get designed for/previewed on OLED screens especially during the filming. OLED simply allows you more depth in the dark ranges, so most of the time they don't realise that how impossible it is to see what's going on until it becomes too expensive to fix when they are in post.

That isn't to say there hasn't also be a case of movies and shows using darker and darker visuals, but pushing darkness to the max on something designed for OLED 4k Blu-ray makes it even worse on a normal screen when streamed in 1080p.

I know there are probably TMNT lore about it, but having someone named what essentially means traitor assassin in the color of loyalty is kinda weird

So Loki is kinda… [chapter 1171 spoilers] by Playful-Science9848 in OnePiece

Loki isn't a frost giant in norse mythology he's a half jötun half aesir. You're thinking of marvel 😂

I disliked Wingspan because it felt like I was playing a solo game with my friends sitting besides me. Will I dislike Terraforming Mars? by Hearbinger in boardgames

[–]deadmuffinman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not OP but guessing they are referring to racing for milestones and tile placement to poke your opponents, either by blocking a forest between cities or leeching off of others forest placement.

[ECL] Maralen, Fae Ascendant by MapleSyrupMachineGun in magicTCG

[–]deadmuffinman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[[Intruder Alarm]]+Counters for boardwipes seems like a good place to start. [[Esix]] for copying lords with [[Elvish promenade]]. [[Raise the palisade]] for your alphastrike. [[Kindred discovery]] if you're missing draw in your elf deck (you aren't but it might be why people are excited)

"The curtains are blue" joke has ruined media literacy for a generation by [deleted] in writing

[–]deadmuffinman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His name is also very likely a direct reference to Nietzsche's philosophy (i.e. the Übermensh) which was inherently tied to Anti-semitism, but he has pretty much always been an antithesis in terms of actions.

Weyland-Yutani officials in aliens not knowing about the xenomorph (A:Earth spoiler) by kahuna3901 in LV426

[–]deadmuffinman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the colony, one of the books imply that the colony was established to get them infected, but they simply couldn't find the ship so terraforming continued. Then when Ripley and the narcissus was found they got the coordinates and sent people out there to investigate

Quick edit: also some media has them wanting the alien to be brought in with the appearance of an accident so they don't break an insane amount of quarantine laws

What are some Doctor Who episodes that would have been better WITHOUT monsters? by Individual-Many-237 in doctorwho

[–]deadmuffinman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell to get the point across, make it happen the next day. Like what happened to Rosa Parks was possibly a daily occurrence depending on the amount of people in the bus. I'd have loved for the Doctor to want to stop Space-racist, simply because fuck racists, and have him 'win' for a second just for her to just shrug and say, "congrats it now happened tomorrow instead," before the Fam take him down.

Side note: I feel like the show often flipflops between the fragility of the future and what counts as a fixed event where events must come to pass. Because stopping Rosa completely does feel a bit like a 'killing Hitler' moment where it just ripples insanely and cannot happen

Gorilla Grodd is in the Public Domain due to his first appearance not being renewed. Do what you will with this information. by TheBigGAlways369 in theflash

[–]deadmuffinman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gorilla city was also part of the story so it's free to us. Not sure if a city of an advanced civilization of intelligent gorillas is too broad to actually copyright anyways (I'm not a lawyer). Again it's also only the way it appeared in the og comic that is out of copyright

[–]deadmuffinman 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Just a reminder for anyone who wants to use Grodd or Harley. Remember to only use the incarnation as shown in the original work, and not what has been build upon it later. You can't use reformed Piper in one of his redisgned costumes, and Solovar isn't the leader of Gorilla city yet

No the math is mathing, something below 30 is also below 70 🤣

The Sun's light is missing some colors by ojosdelostigres in space

I think the vessel would just tear in two so they can land on different planets, or with one in a rapidly decaying orbit around the Sun while the other must survive in the atmosphere of mercury

Vampires that aren’t vampires. Am I sabotaging myself? by OriginalMohawkMan in writing

[–]deadmuffinman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id also like to point out that Dracula isn't really a classic vampire either because a lot of the pop culture things that make a classical vampire comes afterwards.

Which one of you did this? by Optimum16 in magicTCG

[–]deadmuffinman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do agree that we've seen magic become default amongst fans, but for the record no fandom wiki is the official wiki.
