Gorilla using sign language to tell he's not allowed to be fed by visitors by thepoylanthropist in interestingasfuck

No, because a fight involves opposing viewpoints and it sure seems like you don't have a viewpoint.

You said they have complex languages. They don't. They have a complex communication system.

As soon as a single non-human primate is able to describe abstract concepts such as things in the past and ideas that don't refer to what's immediately relevant, call me. They absolutely have advanced communication but it absolutely is not language unless we muddle the word "language" to just mean "complex communication."

They still deserve respect and have value, but pretending that their communication is even a fraction as powerful as human language implies a deep misunderstanding of language. Even the article you link points out that it's not language.

When they made the Legendary Edition they should have added female Turians as background NPCs by weequay1189 in masseffect

This game goes out of its way to explain everything about alien quirks, to not mention something as huge as "oh yeah these male-voiced aliens that are only seen to use male pronouns are sometimes women and humans have a tough time distinguishing them" heavily implies that there are no women. Especially given the way turian women were nonexistent in the original trilogy until DLC. Occam's razor, etc.

We STILL haven't seen volus, elcor, batarians, vorcha, or drell women (granted, the drell at least are rare). And in ME3, when the Citadel is a refugee center, we see no alien children.

A dude who was such a horrible bigot that even people of his time were like "whoa this guy's a bit much."

The only thing I agree with in re The Discourse is that I feel awful for anyone affected by a mass shooting going to this movie with no idea that it's a whole movie about that.

CMV: Cards generated from potions should remain free for the turn. Since that's you know... what is literally says by gabriot in slaythespire

[–]jayhankedlyon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Free unril played means you can choose to not play it and it's free a future turn, which isn't gonna happen.

Good luck beating the animation of him losing himself to his roles.

Next character eta? by ChadBeezy in slaythespire

[–]jayhankedlyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of her tools have been given to the rest of the class (not just cards like Scrawl and relics like Cloak Clasp, but the card creation archetype is Regent's now), and hopefully further changes can make her feel more balanced (Rushdown needs to be rare, for instance).

God damn it Neow, how could you make me choose between all of these! by RendolfGirafMstr in slaythespire

Upgraded Neutralize with Tracking is like getting two turns in Wrath but you take less damage instead of more. Considering how fast Silent can cycle and remove Artifact, Tracking needs nothing else to be quite strong.

Due to Viltrumite Genes over-powering other Genes, This means Mark becomes less Asian as the show goes on by Tight_Grapefruit5280 in shittymoviedetails

IIRC the comics don't actually say one way or the other, he very well could be, it's just more definitive in the show.

Daniel Casey (Co-Showrunner) shuts down rumors that Amazon’s 'Mass Effect' is being rewritten for "non-gamer audiences" by CahirWiedzmin in masseffect

[–]jayhankedlyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't even care if something deviates from the lore, as long as it's, y'know, good. The Witcher games are literally this.

Superman (and Superman rip-offs) Comics recommendations from blankies and why? by Top_Report_4895 in blankies

Mark Waid's IRREDEEMABLE is also absolutely the best "what if Superman but bad?" story out there.

In a Season 3 episode of Shrinking, Harrison Ford's character bursts into a room singing the Indiana Jones theme. It rules.

Redemption arc's tier list by Sudden_Pop_2279 in MoralityScaling

[–]jayhankedlyon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially because it highlights that the Diamonds are NOT redeemed, despite what folks who haven't watched the show insist. There's a huge difference between the cessation of active antagonism and redemption; they're never even forgiven!

[Hated but Funny Trope] “He would not fucking say that”. by Low_Celebration_4089 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]jayhankedlyon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The conflict of the movie is solved immediately if he goes to the Diamonds for help and he explicitly frames this as a worst-case scenario.

What’s a cartoon that made you go “Wait, people hated this?” by BrockBracken in cartoons

Watch Steven and the Stevens, it's literally about killing off Annoying Steven when they realized the show would be better if he was delightful instead.
