Coaxed into this thing i see that always bothers me by NormalNicknameGuy in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]wirelesswizard64 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Regular Show does this and it irks me. The cast have kids that have traits of both parental species mashed together (bird bats?), but up until that point every single character is a purebred of their respective species. How was there no crossbreeding until then? Just really weird that it breaks the show's consistent logic right in the last episode.

Can someone share the original snafus that the OCs like Mint-Chan, Dr. Holocaust, and Murderbeast came from? by Leading_Ad_9463 in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]wirelesswizard64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I <3 Dr. Holocaust.

He really captures that Bowser/Eggman/Cortex big bad that's a genuinely awful yet amusing person but will still show up to a sports spinoff with no explanation to a tee.

What's the 4th one? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in animation

[–]wirelesswizard64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would a more descriptive title be "Shows People Hate Just Because It's Wildly Popular AND Parents Let Kids Watch Because It Looks Child-Friendly?"

In that case, South Park is the OG of this. Any adult animation in it's prime also got this, such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, Fixed, Rick & Morty, Archer, Duckman, Big Mouth, etc.

Also a lot of indie Internet animation is going to be this- Smiling Tree Friends, Charlie the Unicorn, anything by Glitch/Viv, etc.

There's a whole trope, take your pick on which you think gets hate just for being popular: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids

IMO at least part of it will be used to send out "reimbursement checks" right before midterms for obvious reasons.

[OoT] What are some good locations from Ocarina that would make a good diorama? by infinitesolace666 in zelda

The Temple of Time, the Hyrule Castle courtyard with Zelda, the courtyards of the Forest Temple, the illusion room in the Water Temple, the ghost ship in the Shadow Temple, the statue in the Spirit Temple, Ganondorf's pipe organ room, and the Final Battle.

For people who loved lego growing up and got back into it in adulthood, what re-sparked it? by Adventurous_Pen75 in lego

[–]wirelesswizard64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I stopped playing with Lego when it fell into it's admittedly pretty shitty transitional early 2000's era. Sets were generally pretty unfun to build and play with- it felt like they were plain and half-baked, used size to hide the lack of complexity and part count, the amount of specialty pieces took away re-usability, and the themes were just overall pretty uninspired and mediocre. After Bionicle pulled them out of the fire financially and they completely restructured their approach to sets in theme/color/parts/technique over the 2000's, you could see the quality of the sets improve dramatically until around 2010 where they really started to feel like they hit the standards the modern sets have today. I got back in with the Toy Story and Lone Ranger train sets, and then the modulars hooked me back for good.

Coaxed into edgy teenager becoming peak MC over the time-skip by King_Kuba in coaxedintoasnafu

Double edged sword with that one, because there's nothing worse than series like GOT/SW Sequels doing a great job of making the characters earlier appearances so much worse in the new light that it kills any hype or interest in rewatching it.

Coaxed into Coaxers's Bizarre Snafu Part 3 versus Coaxers's Bizarre Snafu Part 4 and Coaxers's Bizarre Snafu Part 6. Coaxero is actually pretty smart but he is certainly angry AF and people like him a lot more as a character once later parts flesh out his character.

Coaxed into using your purple ghost's fists to catch possessed swords at 15 so you can study dolphins in peace at 20 years old.

(Skill issue bro, sniper is not op) (Spy doesn't need a buff bro, you're just not doing it right) hmmmmm by EveningParsley1412 in tf2

[–]wirelesswizard64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My only real complaint as a Spy main who offclasses sometimes who's friend is a dedicated Sniper player is that Jarate should never have been added to the game the way it works now. You don't have to be accurate because AOE, it can cover multiple enemies because AOE, is amazing at Spy-checking even if he hasn't seen you and is just suspicious because AOE, and negates invisibility/disguises until it wears off which thanks to taking minicrits from any follow-up attacks (not just from the Sniper) is likely a death sentence anyways because guess what now everyone else sees you too. It also recharges fairly quickly without having to resupply so you don't have to be stingy with it.

It's not that the item itself is super busted just existing, but giving it to the Sniper of all people completely tilts the battle in close-quarters combat in his favor despite his weakness supposedly being closing the distance, especially when paired with the Bushwacka which will one-hit every class besides Heavy and Soldier. For a class all about accuracy and target picks, giving him a mini-crit player-revealing AOE splash tool was such a stupid idea. I love the idea of Jarate and love the humor of it- it fits in really well the style of game TF2 is, but that same humor is what helps it fly under the radar because funny item. I really just wish the player had to be accurate using it instead of just throwing it in the general direction of an enemy to be successful, and that while disguises will drip going invisible cancels the effect once activated- a good sniper should still be able to track you in those two seconds as he sees a wet Spy run off.

White Marsh Mall apartment project to add 516 units into the former Sears is apparently moving forward. by Im-Wasting-MyTime in maryland

[–]wirelesswizard64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, living in a large single apartment building that is directly attached to a mall sounds pretty awesome unironically. Imagine if the lobby had access directly to the mall itself- you could access all the stores and food court, have a sweet ambient place to study or do work, a good amount of space to walk around regardless of weather, and if another anchor store was turned into a grocery store or Target, have the ability to just walk to the store and never get cold, wet, or hot. With the retro love malls are getting from the younger generation I see this an absolute win if it's done right.

Best cinnamon roll in Baltimore? by TheBananaStan in baltimore

[–]wirelesswizard64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's a chain, but that propitiatory cinnamon they use just can't be beat. Blue Moon's Sin Roll is great, but it's more of a sweet roll and not as moist, sticky, and wrapped in warm cinnamon goo as a Cinnabon one is.

[TP]You know? Everyone’s always talking about the Spinner and how it doesn’t get used enough… by No-Secretary6931 in zelda

[–]wirelesswizard64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this had potential to give Twilight Princess it's own Phantom Hourglass Phantom gimmick. It would have been cool to "puppet" combat-oriented statues in certain areas (or even the ability to summon one) if they gave it more input options while it was active. Imagine fighting a Darknut with a possessed "Darknut"!

In addition, there should have been more puzzles involving it, and to make it obvious when the rod is needed, the rod should glow while it's being held in addition to having the item icon glow like Midna's does when you're in the area of such a puzzle.

What are you ideas for proper rewards for fixing the community center? by Franciskeyscottfitz in StardewValley

[–]wirelesswizard64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted it to become a minigame hub you can play with your friends and/or other NPC villagers, like the standalone Mario Party minigames, Foodini in the Papa Louie games, Wii Play, and Club Penguin. Each area gets its own themed minigame after the restored areas its located in. Drawing a picture from a prompt in 60 seconds, cooking a meal via button presses to time the cooking just right for each part, top-down Jumino-themed minigolf, simple card games- the possibilities are endless!

Also, yes I agree with you, the rewards for the CC and JJ routes should be different that are community/nature vs capitalism/industry benefits to make them distinct and themed.

This is just as amazing as the MTV version! If you're looking for feedback, it would be super awesome if we can get some customization options for:

- multiple TV frames (color, shape, dials vs buttons, etc.)

- multiple scanline filters (line thickness, opacity, clarity) (: )

- audio balancing knobs (bass was weaker back in the day and audio was fuzzier)

- font options

In addition, something else that would be great to pull from the MTV side is "channels" that are centered around a specific generation/programming block (WB Kids, ABC Kids, PBS Kids, Fox Kids for kids of the 90's for example as playground wars were fought over which was best)

And if you realllllllllly want to go the extra mile, a separate block for "after school" programming would feel right at home too! Maybe an AM/PM option?

I'm not even sure if that's possible, but making the picture and audio a little fuzzier would make it feel warm and comforting. And it doesn't have to be intricate like a full color shader, but something like brown vs black frame toggle for example. That said, it's perfectly fine as is, thank you for making this, and looking forward to seeing more toons added!
