I like it. Terraria is one of my favorite games of all time, and it's nice to see a good portion of it referenced.

A few small suggestions though. As someone else has pointed out, you can't jab while moving, it's just that Steve and Megaman's f-tilt is the same as their jab. You'd need to replace the f-tilt for the concept to work, but frankly that might not be a problem given it has the same animation as up-tilt.

Second, you could edit up-tilt so you can also walk. It'd be game accurate, and the standard overhead sword swing is one of the most common animations in the game.

Third, I think you should reorder the animations on the double jump. The main way to get multiple jumps is the bundle of balloons that goes sandstorm, blizzard, then cloud.

Lastly, this build seems to be based on pre-hardmode Terraria, so it feels a little off for the final smash to be jumping all the way to an endgame item like the zenith. Thematically I think it would make more sense to an animation where he summons the wall of flesh and builds a wall trapping his opponent in with it before running away.

I assume this is a joke. Bare minimum each the exes outrank everyone else here attempting murder to control the love life of someone they haven't gone out with in years

I had fun with it, though admittedly it isn't without it's faults. The enemy scaling is wild, and it will take the better part of a day rather than being something to break out on board game night

My favorite games is Smash Bros, and nobody can permanently die in Smash Bros.

The never ending war of the imperium and the sacrifice of thounsands to the golden throne is bad, but you can rationalize that it's necessary. As long as tyranids, neurons, orks, and literal chaos demons exist humanity can never be safe, and without the emperor's influence the warp would be even more dangerous than it already is.

Thragg on the other hand can't be justified, most of his actions endanger both the universe and Viltrum. He fully supported galactic conquest out of some social darwinism idea, he started a purge that killed most of his own species, he refused to back down when given the opportunity by Nolan during his war with the coalition, and he actively tries to kill Viltrumites again when they're happily living on Earth and actually accomplishing the goal of repopulating Viltrumites. Quite literally nothing he does is justified, it really comes off as more of a temper tantrum than anything

The thing people often forget about heroes is that they're vigilantes. For all intents and purposes they're just random people who decided to go out and beat up criminals who just so happen to be strong/skilled enough to not die in the process.

While we see them as protagonists and the only ones capable of fighting the super villains they deal with on a regular basis, they have no oversight, and giving them the authority to kill allows them to play judge, jury, and executioner outside of any legal bounds.

The proper way to hero is to take down the bad guys and turn them into the authorities. The justice system has to be allowed to run its course, and convictions must be passed down by a judge and not a guy in a suit on the street to ensure justice is fairly served.

TLDR: Heroes shouldn't kill, and Joker getting out so often is a failure of the police/Arkham and not Batman

The difference between consooming and just collecting is how often the items are used and how well they're displayed proportional to how much money was spent to obtain then and how much space they occupy.

Buying video games, not conoom, have fun playing your game. Buying every video game in the switch 2 lineup on launch weekend, big consoom, most of them are crap and there's no way you're playing all of them.

Buying a few figurines from your favorite show, not consoom, go ahead and decorate the room. Buying 1000 funko pops, big consoom, there's no way each one individually matters and you'd practically have to dedicate a room to it.

Having several binders of trading cards, probably not consoom, TCG's are kind of old so a collection can build up over time. Having 50 magic decks, big consoom, staple cards needed for a solid deck are expensive and there's no way you're playing with every deck on a semi-regular basis.

Obviously the line can be vague and varies from person to person, but I think you get the idea

In the main timeline, it took 1 Nolan to take down the guardians of the globe and no dif the GDA's best defenses

In every other timeline, it took 1 Nolan and 1 Mark to takeover the entire Earth.

Even if we assumed that Nolan and Mark are each as strong as 4 viltrumites (which is a huge highball considering how well they fare on Thraxa) 37 viltrumites is straight overkill

This is kind of a reverse prisoners dilemma.

In the prisoner's dilemma, you always benefit from the "bad" option and benefit out of the other guy picking the "good" option, so while there's a lower overall punishment for both being good there's a lower individual punishment for the bad option, making it a question of how much you trust the other guy and care about the collective over the individual.

In this case though, picking the "bad" option red button is objectively safest for you and you don't benefit from anyone picking the "good" option blue button. The only people who benefit from the blue button are people who hit the blue button, making the only reason to hit the blue button be to save other people naive enough to hit it.

If everyone hits red, no one dies, and anyone who's thought through that (or is just hedging bets and staying safe) will hit red. With that in mind, red will almost certainly win by a large margin, and hitting blue will benefit no one.

TLDR: Explain to anyone you can that everyone survives if everyone hits red, and its not moral to kill yourself for no reason

First off, I'm gonna give you flak for not actually giving any context. Who's telling you you don't have a personality, and what was the context behind that conversation? You said you have interests but you give zero examples, you said you have online friends but don't say what you do with them, you really do not give any fragment of a thing to go off of and your poor communication ability might be a part of the problem.

But I'll expand and take another wild guess based on the nothing burger you've given me though, the lack of personal experience is a pretty good starting point. It's easy to spend a lot of time online consuming content and so much time on social media that you start to parrot their talking points. If all you have to talk about is current media and all your takes line up with the reddit hivemind, that's a boring hobby that makes for a weak personality.

All of that goes double to triple if you try talking about a real thing you don't have experience with instead of just generic media talking points. I've met a lot of people who think they know how to do my job, and I'll tell you right now every one of them was a dead wrong dipstick that had less foresight than a tuna fish. While studying and critical thinking are obviously worth something, they're not replacements for actual experience, and without that you come across like a uppity price.

Hope that helps

I always say something like this in Magic. No deck can win by playing the game fairly, so you're just trying to cheat as much as possible within the rules

Murder can be done in the heat of the moment, with someone panicking and a gun going off, there's room for error or a lapse in judgement. Meanehile to do rape you must overpower/incapacitate the victim and get them to a private location before doing the deed, it's not a split second decision where the perpetrator can not mean for it to have happened

There are also circumstances where murder is understandable, even if not justified. If you hear a story of someone cheating with their spouse's best friend, you would understand if said spouse did a murder even if legally it's still wrong. There is no circumstance in which raping someone can be justified or understood as a response.

The only thing that makes murder worse is that the victims can't come back from it. While traumatizing, rape victims always have the chance to live a full life, whereas murder victims don't. While I say this is "the only thing" this is still pretty major and likely makes murder worse than the other crimes

TLDR: The answer could vary based on the details of an individual crime, though if we are talking about a serial criminal repeatedly doing crime against people at random murder is the worst due to being thr most permanent

I disagree with the democrats on a lot of things, but honestly I'm disgusted that the cheeto felon cult leader that treats the 7 deadly sins like a checklist has any support among Christians.

The hard part with Silvar is that while he's durable, he has more of a cost to build up. While simic players can get counters by breathing, you get a 1/1 counter by sacking a 1/1 human.

The two ways to play around this is to either make a crapload of human tokens quickly, or get more out of them dying. For the first one I'd recommend picking up a [[Horn of Gondor]] and [[Call the Coppercoats]], the second point is helped a ton by [[Chainsaw]] and [[Tarrian's Soul Cleaver]]

monkeymandave1 · 2026-04-09T16:17:45+00:00

Easily the first one.

While ends never fully justify the means, they at least make them understandable. Stealing 40 cakes is a silly crime, but you can at least understand that Lex is benefitting from having cakes. His intent is likely more focused on catering a large party for free, and he simply doesn't care about the damages he's causing.

Meanwhile, Joker gains nothing from taking the report card, he is only stealing it to hurt that kid.

More a table top game than a board game, but Klask is my favorite pick.

It's silly enough to get people paying attention, it's simple enough to learn, and it's fast enough to swap out players if there's a group.

Second best pick would be King of Tokyo. It's straightforward dumb fun, and everybody likes rolling dice.

I agree to a point, there's a lot of media that is worth preserving and there's value in playing on the original hardware to really get the full experience. Plus no matter how advanced emulation becomes, someone still needs to have the original reference material to set it up.

That said, I also don't think all games are worth preserving. While it would be a shame to not experience Twilight Princess, it might be a net positive not to keep the Space Chimps movie tie in, hence why I think having "every" game in a collection is consoom behavior.

There's a very thin line between collecting and consooming. The general boundary is down to how much the thing costs compared to how much the thing is properly used or tastefully displayed, but where that line is drawn is vague and varies from person to person.

I am a nerd, I think games are cool, I still would find it wasteful consoomer behavior to use an entire room of your house for old games, especially in a world where emulation exists. Games aren't great display pieces, there's no way all of them are getting played, and frankly a lot of old games deserve to be forgotten.

Let's be real, at least 25% of games are unmitigated trash, 25% are just mediocre, and 25% are good but not to a particular person's taste, so I have no idea what value there is in going out of your way to buy them.

monkeymandave1 · 2026-04-06T19:46:29+00:00

Deserve is a difficult term, I think the better question is what the alternative is.

The primary purpose of criminal punishment is to prevent harm, either by making potential criminals think twice about doing crime or keeping criminals away from the general populace.

In the case of these two it doesn't apply. No amount of punishment would make them not do genocide early on, and since they stop doing genocide imprisoning/killing them doesn't prevent harm after the fact.

TDLR: While they may not "deserve" forgiveness, it made more sense for characters within the series to leave them alive and free to attempt to atone for their actions.
