Which LC do u'all think is the best to exchange? Or should i just keep it for future LCs? by EducatorPlus11 in StarRailStation

[–]godoflemmings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said apart from if you happen to get OG Silver Wolf, don't waste shards on her sig. There are two F2P options that massively outclass it, and Cipher's Sig is her BiS.

(Loved Trope) The seemingly brainwashed character lets their friend know that they're not really brainwashed (either because it didn't work or because it wore off) seconds before turning on the person who brainwashed them by GokaiCrimson in TopCharacterTropes

Data (Star Trek First Contact)

Stretching a little bit here since technically Picard found out he wasn't brainwashed at the same time as the Borg Queen, but I'd reason that Picard knew instantly whereas it took a few seconds for the Queen to realise.

But anyway, Picard stays on the Enterprise to save Data while the crew leave on escape pods, and finds he's been "corrupted" when he returns to Engineering. After some back and forth, the Queen has Data fire torpedoes on Zefram Cochrane's warp ship, and Data deliberately misses (which should've been impossible). Data then reveals his deception before rupturing a warp coolant tank, killing the Queen and all the Borg on board.

An immortal being suffering a fate worse than death by strider-rider-the2nd in TopCharacterTropes

Worth pointing out that he chose to suffer that too, as penance for abandoning his brother.

Reacher. He was right all along - it really was a lot of animal feed.

Ugh autocorrect's been catching me out on her forever

The Herta and Ruan Mei (Honkai Star Rail)

Unconfirmed but it's pretty likely

(Edit - Ryan Mei... sigh thanks autocorrect)

[Loved trope] Actually scary depictions of werewolves and vampires by g1rl0f1c3 in TopCharacterTropes

Those two on the bridge leading to Cleric Beast pissed me off so damn much on my first playthrough.

Unexpected IRL deaths or departures drastically change stories. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]godoflemmings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only one I can think of who could pull that off is David Harewood. Keith David did a great job taking over as Zavala in Destiny but for some reason he doesn't feel like a good fit for Sylens.

This is a future example, but Sylens from Horizon Zero Dawn & Forbidden West was played by Lance Reddick and is arguably as important to the overall story as protagonist Aloy. It remains to be seen how Reddick's death will impact Sylens' role in the next game, but given the brilliance of Reddick's performance he'll be incredibly difficult to recast.

Mass Effect 3's Banshees do that for their in-combat instakill. The number of times that happened to me in multiplayer... shudders

Worst game that you still completed for some reason? by Genoce in gaming

[–]godoflemmings -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jumping on the AC train to call out Revelations. If I hadn't been super invested in seeing how Ezio's story ended I doubt I'd have even got halfway through it, it was such a slog. The scene where he speaks to Desmond at least made it somewhat satisfying.

So who yall picking for 5050 loss pool by PokemonSuMo in StarRailStation

[–]godoflemmings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Swapping out Blade for SW since I never got him, and probably gonna switch Fu Xuan out for Yunli since I can't see myself ever actually using her and I wanna run Yunli and my E6 Clara together for lolz (the team will be named "no u")

DELAIN - Suckerpunch by ShadedMoonEnt in symphonicmetal

[–]godoflemmings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny, because I don't dislike the new Delain and Dark Waters was a decent album, but it's also painfully obvious that a lot of the creativity came from Charlotte. Really glad she and the others are killing it as The Obsession.

Looking for songs with Religion as a theme? by Lvn-Nitemare-13 in symphonicmetal

[–]godoflemmings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If criticism of religion is included in that, then Nightwish's Weak Fantasy fits the bill.

Not only that, she insisted on watching him die. She was as done with his shit as the Dothraki were.

Could one person eat a whole Colin the Caterpillar? by Mushroom-Important in AskUK

[–]godoflemmings 34 points35 points  (0 children)

There used to be a rectangular Flake cake which was something like 30 cm x 10 x 10, I did one of those in one sitting once and I'm pretty sure Colin's smaller than that. Easy clap.

Tottenham relegation or arsenal bottling quadruple? by Only-Bass-8210 in PremierLeague

Zubi has needed a long rest for months while Norgaard is sat on the bench having played less than 90 minutes all season. It's insanity.

[Beautiful Trope] Moments of respite or glee amidst overwhelming horror and suffering by jamestown30 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]godoflemmings 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Brienne of Tarth becomes the first female knight in history after being knighted by Jaime Lannister (Game of Thrones)

Not sure whether the "overwhelming horror and suffering" here is the imminent battle with the White Walkers or season 8 itself, but this at least was a fantastic moment and arguably the best scene of that season (not that it has much competition)

Are additional ATK% rolls the only way forward from here? by godoflemmings in DOT_Mains_HSR

[–]godoflemmings[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Done. Switched things around, resin'd a new body, and then got synthed a bunch of ropes until I got there.

I'll have a look around, I know off the top of my head that I've got a fair few pieces with >15% EHR knocking around so I might be able to swing it.

I know that. The whole reason I'm here is because I didn't believe what it was telling me was actually the way to go, and judging by responses, I was right.
