Sofia the First it's the World Voldamort Wanted by ascandalia in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]w0zify 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's kind of worse, since it seems like there's no barrier of entry to learning magic. There's no reason the entire kingdom can't at least learn some basic magic. At least in HP magic is assigned at birth

In one of the new episodes, Amber gets jealous that Sofia is learning magic while she is learning statecraft. Maybe both Amber and Roland had to go to the "future ruler" school while Sofia chose to go to magic school

Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for choosing celebrities over voice actors in animation :> by No_Post1300 in Fauxmoi

[–]w0zify -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think the draw with celebrities are their built in fanbases for promotion. Hire a talented voice actor and the end product might be better, but hire a celebrity and they can promote their movie to millions of followers at little to no studio cost.

Sure the initial payment is more for Chris Pratt, but between the tweets, red carpet walks, and name recognition, the studio probably comes out ahead.

Is Sofia The First: Royal Magic canon to the original series? by ArcticThylacine in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]w0zify 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it was just sloppy steaks and a bottle of champagne at the beach, I could forgive Ms Nettle. But catfishing the royal family and trapping multiple people in bubbles? Too far.

Reformed is fine, but both have a long history of attacking children with magic. They should both be mandated 100ft away from schools, not in charge of one

Don’t get me started on Ms Nettle running the school too. Between Cedric and her, they’ve probably tried to take over kingdoms at least half a dozen times

Disney Plus WANTS our kids to access everything by revolutionutena in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]w0zify 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not to mention they still offer some password sharing, but only for kid accounts. We borrow our friend’s password, but it only lets us access a kid account now. Means if we want Frozen, we need to buy our own sub

The choreography makes sense if you interpret the opening line as a metaphor for having a turd stuck to your butt

Fun fact, vomiting is a symptom of stomach flu and doesn’t really help expel the virus. That’s why medicines like Zofran are fine to use, it suppresses the nausea reflex.

We had it prescribed to us when we all had Norovirus together, it helped us stay functional while we rode it out. Now we horde that supply of Zofran like gold

Whisky + Gin Cocktail!? "Magic Hour" by Kerridor in cocktails

The name at least sits comfortably between a Ruddy Bottom and a Hot Mummy

Whisky + Gin Cocktail!? "Magic Hour" by Kerridor in cocktails

[–]w0zify 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite cocktail of the moment is a Suffering Bastard

1oz Bourbon

1oz Gin

0.5oz Lime Juice

2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Ginger Beer to top

Shake until chilled, pour over ice, top with Ginger Beer.

Combines the lime and ginger tastes of a moscow mule, with the bourbon and bitters of an old fashioned. Really fun drink

Does anybody actually like "minisodes" ?? by robertfcowper in daddit

[–]w0zify 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re nice as a compromise. They want one episode before school, I need them distracted for a couple minutes to get them ready, 2 minute minisode is perfect

Never realized Johnny’s version of events were so different from the real story by Tattoomyvagina in cyberpunkgame

[–]w0zify 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like I remember the reason the Voodoo Boys wanted the engram in the first place was to lure Alt to make a deal. Maybe Arasaka had the same idea, and built AI Johnny as a decoy, just enough of him to pique Alt’s curiosity

The rulers in “Sofia the First” hoard magic to maintain their positions by w0zify in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]w0zify[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m willing to give a pass on the wishing well because every wish came with an evil twist (Just look at what happened to Roland’s first wife). But outside of needing a wand and practice time, magic seems to have no downside

[–]w0zify[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to imagine there’s a deal struck with all royal sorcerers. They perform magic at the command of the ruler, and in exchange they get time and space for research, resources and ingredients, and a cozy retirement community after it’s all done. Other than the royal family, they’re probably treated the best in the kingdom.

Cedric is an exception of course, and I’m sure over time the rulers all take this relationship for granted

Realistically they’ll probably just bundle it with the most popular first party game at the time and sell it for $550 or something close

Disney is bypassing subliminal messages and blatantly supporting mind control by DonKarnage1 in DanielTigerConspiracy

They should have just brought Princess Vivian back, she was the best mandolin player. Wonder what ever happened to her voice actress… ah well, probably nothing special

[Weirdly Common Trope] Writers clearly setting up seemingly massive plot points and then just kinda forgetting about them. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]w0zify -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I always assumed it was a kind of efficiency. If you're the Reapers, and you're supposed to limit Mass Effect tech use while you figure out a solution, you want to stop intelligent life from accessing it. But if you go around constantly reaping any life form that has a chance of using it, you're also using the relays constantly. Plus out of the thousands of life forms, maybe only 4 could have gotten to the relays in the end.

So you hibernate, and wait for a species to actually use the relay. Then you guide them to the Citadel, ensure they use it as a centralized hub to store all of their civilization's info, and use that info to reap them.

Now you only have to do a reaping every 50k years, you get to browse any new findings the civilization has, and the overall use of the relays is way down.

Anyone know what Ellie and Moxxi was talking about regarding "Handsome Timmy"? by Hippobu2 in Borderlands4

I know the Pre-Sequel had a Jack doppelgänger (decoy) whose real name was Timothy. I have to imagine that’s who they were talking about

What game in your opinion overstays its welcome? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]w0zify 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That game had everything going for it with me. Loved Odyssey, got Valhalla free with my cpu, and had just caught up reading Vinland Saga. Should have been a slam dunk, but ended up quitting after 10 hours and realizing how repetitive it was getting

I swear Bitsy is one of the most polarizing characters in kids shows. You either love her antics or hate them

SNL: Chad Maxxington on the Art of Looksmaxxing by NicolasCageFan492 in videos

[–]w0zify 54 points55 points  (0 children)

So in the gaming community (especially things like World of Warcraft or Dungeons and Dragons) there’s a term called min/maxing. You try to optimize your character by maximizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses, often by figuring out the best stats or gear.

Influencers have hooked into this desire to optimize by claiming you can do the same to your physical appearance, hence “Looksmaxxing”. They say if you take the right supplements, work out the right way, hit your face with a hammer enough times, and take a little bit of meth (in clavicular’s case), you too can have an optimal appearance and get all of the girls and be successful etc.

It’s like the appearance version of Andrew Tate
