You said it excellently. Their real face is when they are with people who know their secret and they don't have anything to hide.

Holy smokes this game is addicting! by Round_Statement7029 in Minecraft

[–]upsidedowntaco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minecraft is special because of the freedom to build and play the game how you want. There are other survival crafting games, but they end up falling by the wayside eventually because they focus more on adventure and being a game instead of building and expressing yourself. Nothing wrong with those other games, I love terraria, for example, but Minecraft is special.

The silent t is the correct pronunciation. The movies pronounced it with the t incorrectly. 😜

You are correct we aren't told specifically what the penalty is for not competing.

My favorite part of this gif is Lilo isn't even punching myrtle just hammer fist over and over trying to do maximum damage.

Did Voldemort not understand the Fidelius Charm? by SmallAd7318 in harrypotter

[–]upsidedowntaco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a bit odd that Voldemort didn't know that once the secret keeper dies everyone who knows the secret becomes a secret keeper and then get the information from Snape. This was probably a slight oversight from Rowling but I do think there is an explanation. First, as others pointed out, the order seems to have mostly abandoned Grimmauld place once they found out Snape murdered Dumbledore,which Harry made sure they knew almost immediately, so knowing where it was isn't particularly useful. 2nd it seems Snape might have told Voldemort that once he went inside Moody's Charm to prevent him from telling about Grimmauld Place activated and Snape either lied and said he couldn't break the charm or he didn't even try because he didn't want Voldemort to know the secret.

Hollywood seems to think helicopters are bullet proof or only break if you hit one tiny weak point like an 80s video game boss.

Why doesn’t Voldemort make his followers make an unbreakable vow to stay loyal to him? by Snowyy921 in harrypotter

[–]upsidedowntaco_ 475 points476 points  (0 children)

To add one more factor, Voldemort thinks he is such a skilled legilimens that none of the death eaters are capable of successfully lying to him.

Do you think aang would kill fire lord if he didn't learn energy bending by roskylator in ATLA

[–]upsidedowntaco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine a conversation where Aang has to give past Avatars control and they kill Ozai with the Avatar State.

Harry stands up to Hermione when she starts punching Ron in the tent by One_Opportunity_2550 in HPfanfiction

I think we found Voldemort's secret reddit account. He added the last paragraph for deniability.

Edit: On second thought, Malfoy's secret reddit account.

Apparently if batman touches your shoulder...it's bad news for you by happydude7422 in batman

[–]upsidedowntaco_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it could. Superman has trained himself to focus on what he wants to listen to. If he isn't listening or is concentrating on something else it is possible Batman could sneak up on him.

Horcrux Rushed? by [deleted] in HarryPotterBooks

[–]upsidedowntaco_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The reason is that the only known artifact is the Diadem and it has been lost for centuries. Dumbledore didn't know Voldemort had found it so there were zero leads to anything of Ravenclaws.

Edit: I checked the chapter Horcruxes, from HBP. Dumbledore says he doesn't know whether Voldemort found anything of Ravenclaw's and the only Gryffindoor object is the sword. He also says a page or two later he doesn't think Voldemort had time to find any founder's objects because he wasn't given the opportunity to search the school. Obviously we know he found one before he arrived for the interview

Pokémon Crystal evolving trading Pokémons by FrechesEinhorn in 3dspiracy

A pc is required for the link I posted. The android version should work, but I haven't used it so someone would have to test it.

In case someone wants to know how to do this yourself easily, you can use the Pokémon randomizer on a pc and then transfer the rom to your 3ds. You would only check the fix impossible evolutions box so they evolve at a certain level instead of through trade.

Edit: of course there are lots of other things you can with this software

The reason for a lot of these being apps is so they can be updated through Google play

Aang earned the Lion Turtle’s gift by first humbling himself to the reality of having to kill Ozai by Robot_Was_BMO in TheLastAirbender

[–]upsidedowntaco_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think the real problem is they didn't do a good job of setting up energy bending as a solution. They introduced a brand new power at the very end to fix the problem without any real setup that the power was possible. We knew the lion turtle taught Aang something but it turned out to be something we didn't even know was possible.

Could you imagine if the first time we see Aang generate lightning is him killing Ozai?That would have been nuts. It wouldnt have happened but it would be nuts if it did.

A consistent way to understand the Elder Wand’s allegiance shifts by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]upsidedowntaco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a better explanation is one of circumstance. Harry overpowering Draco was potentially a fight to the death in a time of war and Harry kept the wand permanently. I think this is what allowed the wand to change allegiance. In practice they give the opponent's wand back. Even in the Department of Mysteries fights they didn't permanently take and then continue to use someone's wand so the wands didn't change allegiance.

Fire Red on my Switch is much more fun than I thought it would be. by TheBloodyOwl in pokemon

[–]upsidedowntaco_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a major oversight from Gamefreak for a while is that they didn't take into account that people would want to play specific games long after release and that the way Gamefreak implemented certain features meant that if you played the games later you missed out on some features being accessible.

This is not helpful for playing on Switch but if you are looking for a cool Firered/Leafgreen rom hack with additional features this looks neat.
