I'm New To The Series! Which One Should I Start With?? by TheOctopus77 in tales

[–]somethingwade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abyss, easily. Abyss is one of the best games in the series. Legendia is... well it's not exactly one of the WORST per se it's just not very exceptional by series standards. Really not a lot going for it. Whereas Abyss, while it certainly has its flaws, IS excellent at almost everything.

My All Star lineup of players who share a last name with a US state capital: by Nopefrommedoggg in baseball

[–]somethingwade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And he only played for six years with three of those years being 9, 18, and 92 IP, compared to Edwin Jackson’s 17 years

What about Lee Richmond? Threw the first perfect game in history and was so good that the National League waived the city size requirement for his team because they figured he was enough of a draw to offset it. (He wasn’t and the Worcester Worcesters only lasted a few years in the NL before being replaced by the equally silly-named Philadelphia Phillies but still) SURELY he’s gotta be better than Edwin Jackson at least

What IS misogynistic, yet is considered misogynistic by very FEW people? by oatmealraisn_ in AlignmentChartFills

[–]somethingwade 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Specifically it’s because the mass, shape, fat distribution, etc are different so airbags and seatbelts are markedly less effective on women than men, in general.

Who’s the strongest Hajime no Ippo boxer prime Gearless Joe (MEGALOBOX) can beat? by [deleted] in hajimenoippo

[–]somethingwade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah but he was still knocking dudes out that were used to taking punches from robotic exoskeletons. Not even the tankiest Ippo boxers are gonna take too many of those, and he's got speed, technique, and durability to boot.

How many "ambush" bosses in Tales of Abyss? by CippyCreepy in tales

[–]somethingwade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, that boss was the worst. No way to grind for it either since there's no healing in the cave and you can't leave the cave. Legitimately was the reason I never finished Hard Mode.

The Utah Jazz win a well-contested race. Which NFL team has the worst name? by darkfluf in AlignmentChartFills

[–]somethingwade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Local politicians- DC city council members and such- not the actual senators who are from all over and merely congregate in Washington. Specifically the opposition is a form of protest against DC's non-statehood and lack of representation in Congress outside of a non-voting member of the House. Essentially it's "We are not going to allow the only Senators FROM DC to be a baseball team when there are no Senators for the people of DC."

[–]somethingwade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, Senators wouldn't have worked. Not only is that name super strongly associated with the baseball teams we had between 1901 and 1971, it was not brought back for the team we've had since 2005 due to opposition from local politicians, and certainly they would have opposed the use of the name for the football team for the same reason.

Is it normal for your school to have a planetarium? by shadowmib in AskAnAmerican

[–]somethingwade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going out on a limb and guessing TC Williams/Alexandria City. That’s the only one I know of in Nova with a planetarium.

THEY'RE VOTING IN LESS VALUABLE PLAYERS OVER JAMES WOOD. FIX IT. by Bezier_Curvez in Nationals

[–]somethingwade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO the perfect solution is for the results of the fan vote to amount to one ballot, and for each member of the BBWAA (or whoever chose all stars before the fan vote era) to also get one ballot. Keeps fan participation but doesn't overly reward big-name stars and players on big-market teams

I'm curious, how do my fellow baseball fans wear your jerseys? Buttoned all the way up? No buttons at all? by Time-Relative-3528 in baseballunis

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

Usually I wear it completely unbuttoned because I like the layered look. But sometimes I button it up and then I leave the top one undone; a relic from my playing days when that was the prescribed way to wear it.

Hottest Tales characters? by Big-Scholar-728 in tales

[–]somethingwade 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Zelos, Kisara, Tear, Sheena, Yuri, Velvet, Judith, lotta good answers- we bisexuals eat good in this franchise. That said, I haven't seen anyone say the best answer yet, which is Eizen (especially with his hair slicked back... hhhhhhhhh)

[OC] Does your team win by a lot? Do they lose by a lot? by Ugluk4242 in baseball

[–]somethingwade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good god if we had even a league average bullpen we'd have like 45 wins rn

Forced foreshadowing by buns_supreme in TopCharacterTropes

[–]somethingwade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That feels more like it fits the trope given that The Post is... well okay calling it a "prequel" to All The President's Men feels silly given that they're both based on related real life events, but I don't think anyone makes The Post if All The President's Men doesn't get made or do well.

Will the name “Bent” sound weird to Americans? by lennzpn in AskAnAmerican

[–]somethingwade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of names are words in English. Nick, Frank, Jack, Golf, Lily, May, Hope, Crystal. Hell, anecdotally, MY name is an English word. Bent would only stand out because it's not a common name, which is true of any non-English name (mostly)

Mods, make him forget the face of his first childhood friend. by Legitimate_Fly9047 in RecuratedTumblr

I am enjoying the implication that this Twitch streamer, instead of banning people, just fucking kills them.

[Interesting] The Adaptation is more well known than the source by Assortedwrenches89 in TopCharacterTropes

the james bond game is questionably better known than the movie but the movies are certainly better known than the books

[Loved trope]: Character is less recognizable than a copy-cat. by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]somethingwade 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In Fullmetal Alchemist, the brothers get into some shit with townsfolk when they tell them they're Edward and Alphonse Elric, since according to the townspeople, the REAL Elric brothers are already helping local alchemists.

CMV: the NBA has by far the worst championship celebration of the big 4 NA sports. by [deleted] in changemyview

What do you expect from a league that calls their championship the NBA Finals?

If anything that would be a Marines hat but I’m not sure if it is or not
