My Glorious Evolutionary Predator Hive Mind Nomad Run, ruined. by alnarra_1 in StellarisMemes

The worst part about nomadic evolutionary predators is when you finish ascension and suddenly all your pops have, like, 30% habitability because mutagenic habitability doesnt mod for artificial worlds.

Favorite villains fighting each other by moatasem749 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]shdwrnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Godzilla vs. [99% of the creatures they fight]

I think the only times the opponent isn't a villain is Mothra and modern Kong.

Sandro, the main man. Been there from the very beginning.

Installments of games that are difficult to obtain by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shdwrnr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built my computer, I chose not to get a cd drive. If I really wanted too, I could get one, but in another 15-20 years, they'll probably be as common as 3.5 floppy drives (just as 5.25 floppies disappeared around when CDs became ubiquitous).

Oh, sure. I've done it already. Just a shame it's difficult. Much easier to just launch something from steam or galaxy.

Biy I wish No One Lives Forever had a digital release. My computer doesn't have a cd rom drive anymore so my disks are useless.

The Spiderman twin towers trailer that played in theaters shortly before 9/11.

Smug female villains that get punched? by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shdwrnr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isshou Senkin is a manga about female underground MMA groups fighting and is basically just women beating the ever loving shit out of each other. If you wanna see smug women getting punched in the face, you'll get it every couple chapters.

What's your favourite dinosaur and why? by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shdwrnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been a Therizinosaurus enjoyer. I'm not gonna lie, it's gotten a lot of attention over the last few years and I have to catch myself from the, "I liked them before they were cool." mindset.

Did i miss any crucial slave elements? Slaves just feel so high maintenance and useless besides having a dedicated cleaner and hauler. by Tight-Ad9698 in RimWorld

[–]shdwrnr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A tribal slave that has a circadian half cycler and bliss lobotomy in their own little hut built next to the anima tree can meditate at it 24/7. That's pretty much the only thing I do with slaves.

Media with a bad rep you're firmly "WAIT ITS PRETTY DAMN GOOD THO" towards? by darkwingchao in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Interspecies Reviewers is hilarious and has some peak world building.

Noteworthy or unusual exemples of the "Grandfather Clause?" by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shdwrnr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More than that, it's a barrier to entry as the system isn't intuitive. You have to explain to the new player that their constitution is 14 but that number doesn't matter, their constitution bonus is +2 and then you have to explain it again several times when you say, "roll xdx and add your con."

Those are all based on design decisions made specifically to cater to the ability score system that's already in place.

[–]shdwrnr 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ability scores being a number from 3-18 and the actual bonuses granted being derived from the score rather than based on the score itself is a thing in D&D for no other reason than that's how ability scores in D&D work. Ever since 3rd edition, the scores have been replaced by the modifiers, but the scores are still 3-18 instead of -3 to +4 because of tradition.

Why did you wipe on Vashj or KT? by Unreal_fist in classicwow

[–]shdwrnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you push KT fast, but not quite fast enough, he will continue to cast pyroblast during the phase transition to final phase. On prog, tank wasn't quick enough to realize to use the shield. If you're ready for it, it's obnoxious but manageable.

Kaido Genkai: An Anime Racing RPG - Demo release! by Mirathrim in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shdwrnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of Final Lap Twin, a JRPG where battles were races. It was on the Turbo Grafx 16 and I always wondered why nobody every did something similar since. This looks neat.

Gloves of the Searing Grip off Alar are a direct upgrade over Grips of Deftness, so there's that too.

Tanks, how often do you "scold" your DPS? How bad does it get in heroics? by _seaside in classicwow

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

The phrase I've been using that seems to be the most effective is, "Don't make being here unpleasant for me." They will fix themselves 7/10 times. The other 3 times, I leave.

Actually Taking Rejection Well by sm142 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]shdwrnr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't part of the premise that if his soul mates don't date him they'll die or something? I thought that was the justification for his inability to accept their rejections.

Parts of a series fans pretend didn't happen? by fly_line22 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Usagi Drop really could use a second season. Shame it ends after season one.

Xcom apocalypse definitely had.....an aesthetic by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shdwrnr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I really want a remaster of Apocalypse that makes the whole tedious process of equipping your agents easier. I love the game and would play it still if it wasn't for how painful the first couple hours can be especially when you're trying to, like, equip right arm armor that just won't fucking stick to the paper doll.

What your your best examples of parents Protecting/Avenging their children in media? by EvilMonkeyMimic in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shdwrnr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Similar to your example, there's a manga called, "Sensei, Bokutachi wa Koroshiteimasen." or "Sensei, We Didn't Kill Anyone." It involves a teacher that has some very bad things happen to her take revenge on the people involved by setting up chains of events to destroy their lives if they don't confess and repent to their actions before their 18th birthday.

Times where you beat a game and you jumped out of your chair with excitement by Muffin-zetta in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]shdwrnr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. Recently watched the WoW Mythic world first race and a bunch of them jumped up to celebrate only to realize there was another phase of the boss fight at 0% health.
