What I mean is that *as an individual* Mussolini is not exactly supervillain material unless he brought along a mech suit or something (and if he did he probably wouldn’t be the best person to use it.) He wasn’t even the best charismatic rabble rouser in Europe at the time (that would probably...

I mean Mussolini was primarily a showman. Everything he did was carefully staged to cultivate and project power. He could be an interesting antagonist but if you just summon the guy like it’s a roll on a Gacha game he wouldn’t have a lot of direct personal power.

Did I find myself in a group where I trust literally no one? If so, I am going to keep quiet until I have powers and then explain what I know with the plausible deniability of “this sounded like tinfoil hat bullshit and I didn’t want you guys to think I was insane.” If there is anyone in the...

I read the overwhelming majority just fine, even managed to draw out a little bit of enjoyment from most of them. I open with this to emphasize the sheer hatred I have towards The Pearl. It was deeply, deeply cynical in a way I don’t particularly like. One of those stories where it’s made...

Tooooons of things could influence this, but you are right that the most true to life reflection would have dynamics that most modern day folks would find kinda fucked. On a positive(?) note, gathering girls like Pokémon cards does have a precedent if the MC becomes a warlord or something. Not a...

I had a major supporting character die and get resurrected specifically so that I could explain how resurrection works. Resurrection in this world is a service you can buy, but it’s a specialized kind of magic with a time limit. Most resurrectors have a backlog, and charge a lot. An entire arc...

If any movie series is going to actually be good on the 5th installment, it’s going to be Shrek. The worst Shrek movies weren’t much worse than about half of the stuff Disney came out with, and the most recent Shrek spin off was declared pretty great by the internet at large. With that said, the...

I’m sorry but I got distracted by the potential implications of this typo.

Quiet you. Let us enjoy our historically and internationally average level of nationalism for one day before the majority of Americans go back to feeling bitter about the *current state* of America. This thread is about memes for some and respect for the *idea* of America for others.

I have thus far only written fanfic and it does alright.

If I can use it as a one up after a death that would happen anyway? Sure. Otherwise? FOOK NOH.

Hard but relatively simple in practice. Brandon Sanderson is known for this. He took about half of one chapter to explain in broad strokes how allomancy works, and only really went into more detail when we see a specialist. “Eating Pewter makes you big stronk” is all you really need to say and...

Curtis? Sure. We wouldn’t have a lot in common, but he’s a decent guy. One of his primary traits is that he’s a chill social butterfly so we’d find SOMETHING to talk about. I’d be far more nervous about spending any time with the evil sorcerer who he swapped bodies with, but thankfully that guy...

If DS2 hadn’t shit the bed in production and it’s original concept had been properly realized, I firmly believe Dark Souls could have ended up as an anthology series where each game was only loosely connected to the others, if at all. Unfortunately, it was a very flawed game that failed to...

Sesame Street has an app that is free. It’s occasionally buggy and will freeze when loading a video, but if you’re with your kid while they play that’s unlikely to be a problem since you can just close and reopen the program. The app cycles through different games every few weeks, and has a...

I’m a deranged lunatic who liked DS2 best in the whole series, personally. I liked that it was comparatively nonlinear, with multiple viable directions you could go from the very start of the game. I liked that persistence would unlock a soft easy mode by virtue of making the boss run easier...

I’m super proud of the fact that I think I might have stumbled across a moderately original idea within a genre that is very much not known for its originality these days. It’s an isekai into a game world, but specifically a ttrpg. More importantly, I am trying to replicate aspects of the...

MC is way too straight laced to end up friends with the son of a coked up rock star, a girl who was kicked out of med school for drug dealing, or a crazy party girl if they aren’t all kidnapped together and forced to work on a pirate ship. He might have hit it off with the highly religious gym...

Find a person you like and have a one on one conversation with them if you can. Listen to the music and just vibe. Eat. Be polite. Make sure to talk to the guy you are here for briefly so that if you get overwhelmed you can leave without being particularly rude

They have a perfectly civil conversation that confuses all of them more than it answers any questions. They probably form into a very strange party for at least a short period. This will probably be fine, unless one of them is a different gender than the others or they are all gay. If that...
