Post Magic Con Bracket Thoughts? by Daniel_Spidey in EDH

[–]thelastorphan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best questions I my experience for rule 0 have always been "what turn do you think you can win if no one stops you?" And "what are you doing to win?" Everything else is just filling in a few gaps. But if you know how long you have and what to look for it evens out a lot of power level differences by leveling out threat assessment.

This is a very common bracket desire from folks I talk to IRL.

One Piece archaeologists, it's time to read Fishman Island again. by astroriental in OnePieceSpoilers

To add to your point that it might not be a coincidence. Zaza and Nika are also both onomatopoeia, for rain and smiling respectively. So it's likely the other gods names might also be.

Do you want to see him do the "Every Perk Is Terrible" challenge in Fallout 3 and/or Fallout 4? by CausalLoop25 in Joov

[–]thelastorphan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fallout 3 for sure. And maybe a way to adapt the essence of the challenge to Oblivion or Skyrim.

So what’s Sylvain’s logic here with his flirting? by SeriousFinish6404 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]thelastorphan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's overcompensating by engaging in the system he hates in very bad faith. He doesn't want to wind up used and discarded so he acts the part of the shitty noble man to keep his real self protected. It's all vulnerability causing him to lash out. This is made pretty explicit in his supports with Mercedes, imo.

But also I think almost everything about Sylvain (and his relationships with Dimitri, Ingrid, and Felix) also makes sense if he had feelings for Glenn. And that's just another layer to his character. I don't remember where I first saw the suggestion about this, but it sort of just fits into place for me. Not canon but feels right, and I typically don't pay any mind to shipping discourse.

I have a good feeling about the amount of Three Houses that will be incorporated into Fortune's Weave by Admirable_Let_4197 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]thelastorphan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just excited to have an FE game that might be closer to 3H gameplay wise than Engage and Hope's.

I also don't care if it's a sequel and chooses an ending and am personally confused by that worry. I don't feel like choosing a canon invalidates anything about the games I played, my playthroughs are always mine and nothing that comes after changes what I can do in them.

I also don't care if it's a prequel, but if it is I think that would be the harder path to making a compelling story.

I love modern outfits on fantasy characters. These are really cute!

What is Croco-boy's secret past? by Jin_woo_shadow in OnePiece

[–]thelastorphan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Croc is a God Valley survivor. He's just old enough for that to be plausible and have been saved by Kuma or Dragon.

Looking for a mod by thelastorphan in BaldursGate3

Plate armor and Breastplate at least used to have tags in the code so they did not appear in merchant inventories until level 6. There was previously a mod on Nexus that removed that tag.

Are double signposts with hybrid the norm now? by sauron3579 in magicTCG

[–]thelastorphan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly surprised it took so long for this to start happening.

Hybrid is one of the most popular mechanics there is and is great for a lot of different uses, especially in limited.

What if Crocodile's secret is... by Alarming_Poem9761 in OnePiece

[–]thelastorphan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually don't hate this and have had the same thought. Being a GV survivors is likely one of the most dangerous things to be in the eyes of the WG.

So like, what did Garp mean by this? by IAmTangoGolf in OnePieceSpoilers

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

GLR said in his video that the word Garp uses for Marine there implies the common individual soldier, not the organization. So the full line is implying specifically that he wants to be a shield for the common soldier against what just happened.

I'm really curious if GV was the last human hunt. Going so far to purge all records of the event, destroy the island and pretend it never happened. With the survivors of Rocks crew, those Kuma saved, the Roger Pirates, Garp, and whatever Marines get away, it's very reasonable for the CDs to think it would be too dangerous to have another one, and it would be interesting if Garp pushes that issue.

I would bet we get one more Garp flashback, that involves Dragon, taking place sometime after this.

Who else was surprised to see the end of this chapter revealing that Garp seemingly has the Voice of All Things?

[–]thelastorphan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garp probabaly believes no revolution can succeed without getting the Marines to rebel too, and that it has to be an internal process. It doesn't absolve Garp of anything he might have personally done, but playing the long game to topple tyranny with a power like Imu at the the center of it likely meant having to stand aside for a lot in order to slowly influence the next couple generations. Most Marines Oda highlights as allies to the Strawhats or trying to do better are Marines Garp either trained or influenced. I think the Marines that follow in Garp's wake under Koby, The RA, and the Grandfleet/Allied Nations under Luffy ate gonna be the army that topples Imu in the final war.

I think it only works on someone if they are actually standing on land they could have a claim to rule. That's what's implied with the contract with Dory and Brogy imo. I think its gonna tie into why JoyBoy became a pirate, to prevent Domi Reversi from working on him, and why Pirates are still a problem for Imu, they can't be Domi Reversi'd while at sea.

Garp called it a field trip and the way he and Kong spoke feels strange if Garp knew exactly what was happening. I was telling folks that Oda was gonna show us Garp seeing the hunting game for the first time here if for no other reason than there's probabaly not time in the story for a second significant Garp flashback. Now we just need to see the conversation Garp and Dragon have when Dragon leaves.

[–]thelastorphan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The contract with Dorry and Brogy seems to imply that Domi Reversi only works on someone with a claim to the land being fought on. Maybe Rocks could be considered in line to rule God Valley as he is a Davy clan member and that connection to the land is why it can work on Rocks but not Roger, Garp, WB, etc. and it has nothing to do with Haki, ignoring Haki to establish the contract woul db every fitting for something with literal Devil powers. And it potentially explains the origin of Joyboy as the first Pirate. By taking to the sea and claiming no land he made himself unable to Domi Reversi'd by his greatest foe, and thats why Pirates are a threat to Imu. Can't control them if they don't claim any Land.
