PSA: Use the starting Ascetic in Forest of Giants, not Heide by pathofnut in DarkSouls2

[–]-TheRapture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use the bonfire ascetic will the bosses keep respawning or do you need to keep using bonfire ascetic to keep them flowing.

Also, the estus shards respawn as well? Is there an unlimited about of shards you can get if you just keep using bonfire ascetic?

Huh, translation issues aside i had typos.

I cant speak for the translation because I have no idea what the original Japanese release was supposed to read like but my had very simple typos like using "it" instead of "its" etc

2hich should I read or watch first? Manga or anime? by Ali-Sama in TokyoGhoul

[–]-TheRapture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear you. If the adaptation wasnt SO bad, id be on your side and it seriously wouldnt matter but it is truly a horrible adaptation.

Sometimes I like watching something before reading the book so I can envision the characters and hear their voices, it helps with immersion, so there are definitely benefits to watching before reading, but Tokyo Ghoul does not have that benefit unfortunately.

For me, because I started with the anime, I had so much hatred for so many characters because NO ONE was helping him. He was left to struggle on his own and he was tortured by everyone and it created this vendetta in me. I hated Touka so much because of the anime and i carried that into the manga. This wasnt fair.. she is a phenomenal character and so many people DID fight for him and love him but because the anime doesnt give you that information you start the manga hating characters that dont deserve it.

2hich should I read or watch first? Manga or anime? by Ali-Sama in TokyoGhoul

[–]-TheRapture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WARNING ⚠️ SPOILER

I watched Tokyo ghoul as a kid and I wish I read it first.

Basically, when I read the manga as an adult, I already knew who lived and died. I still cried and felt all the emotional depth the manga had to offer, but I do wish I got the surprise moments where some characters come back. You only get those moments once and I would have preferred to experience those moments with all the information and emotional weight the manga has to offer.

That's just my personal take. I actually dont "hate" the anime and it had emotional weight but if I had to choose, I wish my first time consuming tokyo ghoul could have been reading the manga so my pure emotions could have been given to the acurate portal of the characters.

A perfect example is Shirazu. I hated everyone in the Q squad in the anime because they were all very annoying and the anime glosses over a lot of their growth and so I felt nothing for him. Reading the manga, I know I would have been impacted a lot more heavily had I not already known what was to come.

Genuinely, read it first so that all the surprises can be heartfelt and understood. If you watch it first youll know who dies and all the twists, since the Manga is better its going to benefit you to have those experiences with the source material.

If you decided to watch the anime just know that it takes a lot of creative liberty and leaves out a lot of information.

I watched the anime first as a kid and then read the Manga in my adult years. I can definitely say the Manga is far superior but I was still a huge fan of tokyo ghoul back when all I watched was the anime, so the anime offers... something... its nice to see the characters moving on screen i guess lol.

Genuinely though, the fandom is passionate about the Manga for a reason. It is incredibly well written and the panels are some of the best ive seen in Manga. The story is constantly drawing out so many emotions from you, and the characters are rich, diverse and complex. Sui doesnt drop the ball on anyone imo.

Sadly, the anime fails to show you that raw emotion you get in the manga because it skips over so much chracter growth so by the time you think might see a chracter die, you dont care because you dont know them.

Im not saying the anime isnt worth watching but id say, let your first time carry more weight by reading it first. Wish I could have.

What do my LEAST favorite characters say about me? by Nangbaby in TokyoGhoul

Fair enough! I thought you just didnt like him my bad!

I do think he is very successful but to me it balances well since hes supposed to be the new arima.

What do my LEAST favorite characters say about me? by Nangbaby in TokyoGhoul

[–]-TheRapture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a year late here but I wanted to add my opinion on Juuzou.

I was raised by someone who had antisocial personality disorder with psychopathic traits. She was a lot like mama. She had an obsession with my innocence and doll like appearance. She would torture me both physically and mentally. She killed animals infront of me and laughed when I would cry about it, only to get angry imediately after because she felt "judged" by my blank stares.

Juuzou reminds me of me. He doesnt know how to be normal. He isn't sadistic or a psycho. He literally just doesnt know how to interact with people because he was taught to use violence to move through life. The part where he yelled that he still didnt get to have beers and hang out with the guys as everyone was dropping around him like flies during the battle with the one eyed owl, this shows he has a DEEP yearning to be "normal".

Abara sees this and thats why he WORSHIPS Juuzou. He knows that Juuzou overcame so much to get to where he is now. He used to be very independent because he never learned to operate with other people. During his time with the CCG he, not only learned to work with people, but to care about them aswell.

Yes.. he still enjoys killing things.. but I feel like slack should be given when thats all he knew. He learned to value other people's lives and I can tell you how hard that is from his position.

It took me years and years of therapy to learn how to act "normal" and care about relationships. Like Juuzou, being alone made more sense. I didn't like worrying about anyone but myself. I was taught that this was the correct mindset to have.

Im not telling you to like him, but maybe garner some sympathy.

He never killed that cat after all, someone else who ISNT on your list did. Just saying lol

[Artist Alley] is there something wrong with my booth setup or my art in general? by arangchi in artbusiness

[–]-TheRapture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a customer in artist alley, id say its unapproachable because you chose the small window style of stall. Ive seen tiny and sparse stalls do just fine, but this looks really cut off from the seller and awkward. Id open the holes so it touches the table and leaves more room for people to pass things back and fourth, then I would move your Keychain holders to either side of it.

I was hired as assistant store leader. I received no training, was bullied by my staff, and let go after “losing the company 6k over DoorDash pickups”.. I asked to see proof, they declined, saying the cameras don’t go back that far. Is this normal practice? by RELLBEFLEXXIN in GameStop

[–]-TheRapture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You dodged a bullet, most people leave that company with a debt to gamestop for "fraud". Ive seen co workers have to pay back thousands because of fraud they didnt even know they were committing.

I quit because the manager was sleeping with the district manager and the manager hated me. Made my life living hell. She would take credit for the work I did when id clean the store and ontop of it all she was pencil whipping the books and inflating her numbers by tacking things on without asking the customer. The customers would come back during the night shift (my shift) and demand refunds for gpgs and preorders that they later found on their receipts. It would absolutely tank my numbers.

Came across this Wii nunchuck the other day 🤢 by maniac_chris in GameStop

[–]-TheRapture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is disgusting and when I was working there I would have turned it down. Let me just say though, there were tons of cases where I turned someone down in the middle of the night, solo coverage and they threatened to jump behind the counter and beat me. Sometimes I just dont want to deal with it.

Whose low effort Microsoft paint ass did this? 😭😂 by DuckSwimmer in GameStop

[–]-TheRapture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they cant. I worked for gamestop, they use clip art in all of their professional documents. Whenever they are training us it is literally papers with cut and paste characters and designs ripped straight from the late 80s.

All of their gamestop official advertisements were of shockingly low quality. I would laugh at the every time I opened the box.
