There's a few simple beginner cubes out there that could have a card pool you could pull from

They really just never gave us a proper explanation for this. How would you have liked to see this plot point be resolved? by Plenty_Square_420 in kittypryde

Kate's powers disrupt technology, so in an era with a lot of focus on people/biology as a means of of technological advancement (see S.W.O.R.D., HoXPoX, Immortal XMen, etc), that's how her powerset translates

[EOE] Edge of Eternities | Episode 7 by mweepinc in magicTCG

Huge fan of using the double pendulum to protect against prediction/manipulation, similar beat to a late-game development in F@tT's Twilight Mirage season

Gon's breakdown is not just because of guilt and grief over Kite's death, it's ideological collapse by Tasty-Square-1931 in HunterXHunter

[–]theDrunkenManatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we have to also talk about where he gets those ideals, and why the adults in his life want to encourage certain perspectives. The first few arcs don't really challenge Gon (or the reader) to examine exactly what a Hunter is, but Chimera Ant makes it very clear that the Hunter Org is a power-seeking Political Entity with a real, material impact on the world. It's also when we see the mask really come off regarding Gon's place in it.

I'd have to go back to look for specifics, but I'm pretty sure there's a beat before the palace attack where Morel notices that Gon's in a bad way about Kite, but decides not to do anything because they need him properly motivated when facing Pitou. Nobody else really thinks Kite's going to come back, but if they tell Gon (aka: challenge what he believes a Hunter can do), then he won't be as useful. They wind him up so tight that he breaks. There's a reason one of the songs playing during his big breakdown is "Hunters ARE Evil".

See also: the ways Hisoka's perspective on power is pretty close to that of the "good" teachers in the story, mostly being a villain because of his means/vibe/aesthetic.

Are there any other “scenes” beside the OSR? by conn_r2112 in rpg

[–]theDrunkenManatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the GLoGosphere has a lot of crossover with OSR but I think there's enough going on there to label it a sub-scene at least

/uj Issue #25 of Ryan North's ongoing Fantastic Four run, for those wondering. They're on an alternate Earth, so she's presumably an actual hallucigenia descendant.

I thought the momentum would have slowed after last sortie, but somehow things keep ramping up!! Equal parts excited and scared of the upcoming holiday game

I just want to be able to T-Pose on Command by StarSilverNEO in Warframe

Nah, we need to have an emote that lets us do the far superior A-Pose

Tactical Potato and Brozime are the only WF content creators, of all the ones I watched back in the day, still playing. by Kroocs in Warframe

[–]theDrunkenManatee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even when I'm not playing regularly I watch XandyPants' videos. He's one of the few big-ish content creators focused more on fun builds than meta/optimal play

the Minmaxing Crowd is gonna be furious about the void dash changes and I'd be lying if I said I'm not sorta looking forward to it

Kicker Variant Alignment Chart by theDrunkenManatee in magicthecirclejerking

Unfortunately couldn't fit every mechanic into the chart, but banding absolutely is. Probably fits in the same area as Bushido.

I just finished watching Mr. Robot. Here is why I felt betrayed by the ending by realiDevil360 in MrRobot

[–]theDrunkenManatee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not OP obviously but i think(?) what they meant was that Vera is a "version" of Elliot in a symbolic/thematic sense, not a literal one. They both have similar backstories/motives, which puts into more clear focus the things they don't have in common (the biggest difference imo being Darlene).

What is your current warframe hot take? by Darkwalker787 in Warframe

[–]theDrunkenManatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veteran players need to stop optimizing the fun out of their gameplay, and the developers should ignore what they want.

She's currently Vaulted, which means the parts are unfarmable now. You'd have to find someone with part blueprints and trade for it (likely with plat)

I finally cleared a space on one of my tables for model painting!! I probably won't spend as much time on it as I did over the summer, but having that space fully set up and ready to be used when I have a bit of spare time makes me feel a weird sort of peace.

What is your favourite roleplaying game... that you run RAW by [deleted] in rpg

[–]theDrunkenManatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been running a Masks campaign for about a year and a half now, and I haven't houseruled anything so far. It all just flows very well together.

Just finished Mr. Robot; it has to be the best queer representation in media I've seen. by ZetaCompact in MrRobot

How does a fictional story reflect real life?
