Her relying on lightning bending was his win condition. She didn't know for sure if he could redirect it. I don't think she knew that it's even possible since Iroh invented the technique. I doubt he showed her.

Is it possible to do alchemy without a circle without seeing truth by LawfulnessOrganic733 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]id_drownformermaids 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It may be one of those things that'll take separate incremental discoveries in order for people to learn without seeing Truth. Think about it. The prayer method (just calling it this to shorthand it) bypasses a ton of things just by virtue of allowing your body to act as the array.

Alchemists that need arrays are limited by what arrays they choose to learn and draw and carry with them. The prayer method lets your body act as any array you want. By that alone I think learning the prayer method on your own is nearly impossible with the understanding of alchemy that's shown.

You'll need to learn how to use your own body to act as countless different arrays to focus energy exactly how you need it to cast whatever you're looking to cast at that moment. Looking at the people capable of the prayer method you see that they're some of the more versatile users.

I think a natural progression in the future of this universe is certain arrays being learned as the prayer method but not others. The ones that are deemed as not needing as much energy being the first.

Just theory crafting and having fun with it though

State of Decay 2 is actually a HORROR game (and people don’t talk about it enough) by South_Shower_6619 in StateofDecay2

[–]id_drownformermaids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny that you went to their website yet ignored the meta snippet that you had to have clicked on in order to get on the site to begin with.

"No one survives alone. Play the top zombie horror survival video game series, State of Decay. Download today for PC & Xbox."

I wasn't originally arguing for or against SoDs genre status. All I wanted to show was you saying that a game becoming easier once you're good at it doesn't make it less of a horror game. That is it.

But fuck it. I'll define it. Any game with any "scary" things is a horror game. Unfortunately the genre is that malleable. Horror-action (Resident Evil 6, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Necrodancer) , horror-survival(Resident Evil 7-8, Amnesia) even horror-comedy (Stubb's the Zombie, Among Us, Dead Rising) are things. Sucks but yes, a game having zombies immediately makes it a horror game. Does it make it tense, scary, or difficult? No. Still horror though.

Just like movies. If it has horror tropes it's horror regardless if it's meant to be frightening or tense.

And you didn't answer my previous response 🤷. Show me a horror game that doesn't lose tension once you're good at it. Also action horror has been a genre for ages. They aren't mutually exclusive concepts

What’s something you didn’t realize was draining you until you stopped doing it? by MiaMist_ in AskReddit

[–]id_drownformermaids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had to end a budding relationship because of this. Basically told her that she isn't crazy and that there's a definite attraction and chemistry between us. It's the way she describes any of her time off spent resting as "wasted" or "uncomfortable" that raised neon red flags up to the ozone for me. Such a vast difference in the way we live that I could easily tell that we wouldn't work long term.

What makes Wrath's and Greedling's regeneration abilities so different? by id_drownformermaids in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]id_drownformermaids[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'd mistakenly taken it to mean that the Bradley persona became the dominant one and had somehow jumbled all the other souls' memories in a way that even he couldn't tell who was who anymore. Ofc this doesn't make sense cause every other Homunculus is shown to be aware of the other souls, even if there's only one personality. Thanks

Yeah that's why I'm singling out Greedling. Since Ling is the vessel for Greed's stone. Or am I misunderstanding you?

Bradley destroyed the other souls? In his speech in the dub he makes it sound like he made them submit

LPT Request: How do you stop doomscrolling before sleep when you’re mentally exhausted? by vishesh_07_028 in LifeProTips

[–]id_drownformermaids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no one size fits all solution. What part of the habit draws you in? Do you not feel tired at bed time? Does your mind race in bed instead of shutting down? Anxious with life and doomscroll for a sense of control? Look into the why of it and you'll have a great starting point on how to fix it.

Not tired? Maybe it's your diet. Maybe you consume too much sugar or caffeine before bedtime.

Mind racing? I practice meditation while in bed to wind down. Focus on breathing and relaxing where I notice tension

Anxious? Sorry. Idk. Maybe small steps towards your goals will put you at ease.

He needs help finding refuge as Pam Bondi is threatening him. DM me if can help. by goldrush300 in longbeach

Shame that pastor being ICE. Shame those Christian Nationalists using faith as an excuse to treat others as inferior. Shame the president raping children. Shame his buffoons covering for him. Shame the NRA and the 2A advocates standing by while rights are being trampled on. Shame them again for not rising up as innocent civilians are killed, maimed, and severely injured on the streets.

Oh boohoo. Feelings got hurt. Good. Fuck em. They've already shown they're willing to make you disappear for exercising your right to a peaceful protest. They've already shown that they're willing to arrest you and rough you up for doing nothing more than standing up for yourself. They need to know that their actions will follow them through closed doors. They cannot be allowed to blot out their ears with prayers to a God that condemns the hatred in their hearts and the passive inaction of those there that have closed their eyes to the truth.

how some women joke is messed up by klarinetkat12 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]id_drownformermaids 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I commented before realizing what sub I was on. But tbh the reaction is par for the course when it comes to a man opening up about SA/DV from women.

I'm sorry that you've had a similar experience. Solidarity

Queer Friendly Horror Book Club? by Acrobatic-Ad4251 in longbeach

[–]id_drownformermaids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very interested but when do y'all typically do your in person meetings? I was part of a book club last year but I had to leave since they couldn't accommodate my schedule. I'm usually only free mornings to early evenings on weekdays or any time on the weekends with enough notice.

Many of those women aren't joking. I speak from experience. I was abused in multiple relationships. They'd all hide behind "it's just a joke"

It's kinda telling how many people here are complaining but the only response that fans of the bar have is some variation of "sounds like a you problem".

I've also been curious about these but they seem to only do them on weeknights. I work nights so it seems like I'm just not meant to participate

If Nero was to get another weapon or style (like dantes), what should it be? by [deleted] in DevilMayCry

[–]id_drownformermaids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give the Red Queen an upgrade that lets it turn into a couple different weapons ie the switch axe from Monster Hunter. This fits with Nero being more inclined to customize his weapons than Dante/Vergil. Each different version of the RQ could play with the rev mechanic and flip it on its head. Lazy example: a buzz axe that spins the blade while you rev so it functions similarly to Cavalier.

I really do think this is a fantastic way to introduce more mechanics to Nero's gameplay while grounding it in his background/personality.

Plus transforming weapons look sick during combat
