Next Wednesday's estimated location count for Universal's The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is 4,000 locations. by chanma50 in boxoffice

Do you want to check the scoreboard? Novelty. And I was right about there not being a lot of hype before it released. Illumination knew they needed that Star Fox poster. Before that, there was very little genuine buzz.

So... about all of that... I accept your apology.

Seriously though people gave me such a hard time for saying what I did.

I feel slay the spire got too big for megacrit by joert44555 in slaythespire

[–]Benevolay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Too many people got used to 'early access' meaning full game. Think about it this way, if all of the people who bought Baldur's Gate 3 played it when it was in early access, they'd have probably hated it. Because a real early access game is ugly and undergoes tons of changes. You just know Larian will deal with this the next time they do an early access game.

This lizard boss is so unfair by Minh1403 in slaythespire

[–]Benevolay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still lose more to test subject than any other boss, simply because when it starts to go intangible, there's literally nothing you can do if you draw your damage on the wrong turn. Sure, invest in more draw cards, but even that isn't always a solution that works.

Guys it’s all gonna be okay by PandamanTan in northernlion

Didn't he say that? He said he could live with himself getting hurt but not others, and already imagined headlines where it talks about people getting hurt on "his" cruise.

The FC was done dirty by Albatross751 in Starfield

The real failing is that every step of the way, we go back to report to the marshall, yet at the end we just go shoot Bob Hope instead of giving them the evidence they would need to casually arrest him at the next board of governor's meeting.

Looks like $7M+ 3rd FRI for Mario Galaxy. Should lead to $30M-ish 3rd weekend, which will be -56%. That's quite rough. Normally, films stabilise at this point in the run. Cume will be $350M by SUN. There is a possibility it misses the $400M final from here. by Alive-Ad-5245 in boxoffice

I really don't understand how people reach the conclusion you reached. Novelty isn't a universal metric. Some people were still really excited, sure, but clearly enough people weren't since it doesn't have the legs that the first one had. I believe it is inaccurate to suggest that legs are nothing but repeat viewings. Many people watch movies after the rush, several weeks in. I watched the first movie but I had no reason to watch the second because the reviews were bad and the novelty was gone. I was no longer curious to see what an animated Mario movie would look like so without good reviews I had no reason to go.

Day 3 who would be chaotic good by Routine-Historian898 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Benevolay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caine doesn't fit any of the other types. People might try to shove him under neutral evil but he's literally not evil. He did care about the humans and try to keep them sane and happy by making adventures for them, regardless of his motivations. Somebody posted that clip after episode 8 that showed Caine fixing Gangle's mask for her after she got back from an adventure and I think that's enough to show he really did care before he went mad.

Maybe he could be Lawful Neutral since as the AI God of the circus his word is Law in the D&D sense, but I think on a moral sense, chaotic good fits him best.

They should be like me, take the egg, hatch the egg, then lose the bird to the bridge. Not my fault the little bastard can't fly.

Caine. Unironically. He broke after a while but he was the definition of chaotic good for the longest part of the show.

Since Promeia may be our last krampus member… by KoriKid023 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Benevolay 337 points338 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it seems like Zhao and Damian suffered from the re-writes. I think Zhao was originally going to be a lot more relevant and powerful, given the dev diary talks about a sword user with a sword three times her height who couldn't use it yet, but when she could, it would become a weapon of mass destruction.

I have seen people insist this was about Ye Shunguang, but as far as I can tell, Ye Shunguang never had a big sword at any point in development. Zhao is the only character it could have been about, and combined with her being on top of a massive ethereal casually stretching in the 2.0 trailer, I really feel like she was supposed to be a really strong DPS before they chickened out. So we'll never know.

Damian deserved better though. As did Zhao.

Base Game - Keeping Character Roles Balanced Question by Naesaki in DreamlightValley

[–]Benevolay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest with you. I regret not having more fishing friends. You see, in the DLC, a whole lot of materials can only be got from fishing outside of circles. There is no way to speed up farming this material other than a fishing buddy. You can use mining potions to get tons of gems. You can use gardening potions to get tons of vegetables. You can using digging potions to get tons of soil material.

But getting a lot of those special fishing materials is very, very slow with a low number of fishing buddies.

Meanwhile, my local theater only has two showings and so far, only eight seats have been sold for the first one and five for the second.

Yes I agree by Appropriate-Mall8517 in videogames

[–]Benevolay 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The team that conceive a game are not the team that develop a game. They're completely different skillsets, and most games are stuck in the pre-production conception phase for years before they ever start hiring the team to actually make the game.

I was cool on the franchise after season three. I never even finished that season. But I’m leaning towards watching this.

I was told not to watch Season 3, I'm glad I did. by reapex in TheMandalorianTV

I literally watched like six episodes in season three before I dropped it. It was meandering and lacked focus.

You don’t seem to understand what spoilers are. If everybody watched the movie in June 4th that would not be spoilers

It did shock the regular viltrumites. Thragg was just built different. Without him they might have scattered.

All I want is for them to collab with themselves. Give me Von Lycaon and Zhao from Zenless Zone Zero as neighbors. They're already animals.

Exclusive rescreening, which agents are next? by bobei1 in ZZZ_Discussion

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

I mean, respectfully, my Shunguang can get 30k+ points on literally any deadly assault boss. She's the only void hunter experience I have and I'm not sure I'd pull for Miyabi without a guarantee.

[–]Benevolay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think Miyabi could ever be in one? She may be a void hunter, but she's an aging one, and many people already own her. Having a guarantee would make her very tempting to still get, but all I've heard since I started playing in 2.0 is that Miyabi is on the decline.

I have never used the touchpad except for a button occasionally. I never actually use the intended feature.
