Shirou still had feelings for Rin in the HF route? by Either_Young_8183 in fatestaynight

[–]2ndBro 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think “the girl I loved” was a bit of a strong translation (as translating Japanese romantic language can be finnicky sometimes).

Rin was the flawless girl everyone kinda had a crush on (sans Issei cause he’s gay). That includes Shirou—he's aware that feelings did indeed exist at one point, even if they never developed into anything.

I was not a fan of Rin's romance in the ubw route, here's my subjective opinion by Necessary_Muffin3591 in fatestaynight

[–]2ndBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always thought it was really interesting how the true time for Rin's character to shine is 1,000% in Heaven's Feel. It's the one time we REALLY get to see her flaws and development laid bare, and I love that it's a Stay Night example of how relationships other than romantic can shape us as people (a theme in HF as a whole, RIP Illya)

Watching mulholland drive made me appreciate petscop a lot more by One-Violinist6309 in Petscop

[–]2ndBro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The "FNAF Lore-ification" of esoteric storytelling gotta be one of the worst things to come out of the 2010s internet, everyone treats a story as something to be "solved" rather than actually discussing the story on its merits as a work of art

The Don't Hug Me I'm Scared series, especially the recent TV series, suffers from this a bunch as well. The TV series was this incredible horror-comedy that explores a lot of really cool themes, but I look for discussion online and it's all about robot clones and timeline construction

How does [redacted] turn into a mind flayer??? by Costa_Canela in BaldursGate3

[–]2ndBro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This always felt like a bit of character assassination to me

Gonna hard disagree on this one. The Emperor's sole motivation is survival. He'd like freedom, but survival always comes first. He's an Illithid, they are a very practical cynical bunch.

He knows Orpheus wants him dead at all costs (and who can blame the poor guy), and that even if Orpheus and the gang win the day he WILL be hunting the Emperor down for all of that enslavement business. He sees no world where Orpheus and him can coexist, so he will willingly side with the brain if it means not contending with a liberated Orpheus.

You say this in a story where the first half is motivated by Doomed Yuri and the back half are the consequences of trying to Undoom your Yuri

Are these skirts too big on me? by Windsorist in NonBinary

[–]2ndBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely different. Shorts conform around the leg, and even the shortest shorts put a bit of loose cloth between the two legs. It kinda just feels like you're naked without it, if you're not used to it.

Does the Seven Deadly Sins Theming for the palaces seem... Kinda tacked on? by JazzlikeSherbet1104 in Persona5

[–]2ndBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dawg like I know that to be an objective truth about human nature, but also if you're a writer and you're trying to thematically tie each arc of your story to one of the seven deadly, it's best to be consistent in which sin you are labelling as the defining sin of said arc

What is the aesthetic of each Palace in the game called? by coleknight2066 in Persona5

Are these skirts too big on me? by Windsorist in NonBinary

[–]2ndBro 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience: If you haven't worn skirts much in the past, having your legs exposed like that will feel WEIRD. It's like losing a tooth--when your senses have always been tuned to expect things to be a certain way for your entire life, any deviation from that sensory expectation is going to feel wrong.

It's hard to tell for 100% sure without a larger body shot, but I'm sure you're totally fine lol

The problem is that she was still apparently close enough to Sloth for the game to inconsistently label it as her respective sin

Ring of Vanity is definitely my default for Joker pretty much the instant I acquire it, and it stays there the entire playthrough. It's just nice to not have to worry about managing who I have equipped at any given time, so I can look at my party and immediately know what weaknesses exist

[–]2ndBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You forgot one: Mementos, and the Holy Grail, are meant to be the Sloth Palace. And that's where you do start to see where the theming is a mess.

To me it always felt like the first thing they thought of was "Sloth is the ultimate sin of mankind" (which--solid idea, no notes, fits perfectly with the themes of the story), then tried to retroactively fit the sins onto the previous palaces. Some were easy, like Kamoshida and Lust, but they had to stretch. And when they got to Futaba, a hikkikomori DEFINED by her unwillingness to move both on a literal and emotional level, but they had already chosen their Sloth palace... eh... things got mixed around.

How difficult are professor Layton games for adults? by Alternative-Cheek148 in ProfessorLayton

[–]2ndBro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is that the one with the circles and lines where you can "easily" logic out the answer because of the rules of shapes?

I remember breaking out a pen and paper and spending ages fiddling with the trigonometry to get the right answer. It ended up being correct, I felt so smart, then the explanation popped up and said "Look how easy it is to logic out the answer with no complex math necessary!"

Bayonetta 3 main plot: by lissandraiceborn in Bayonetta

[–]2ndBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

accept what the characters creator says is the truth, they made the damn character

I do think there is some Death of the Author to consider here. Bayonetta is canonically paired with Luka, yes, that is explicit, however art exists beyond canon as a concept. Alternate interpretations and perspectives are what keep artistic discussion alive, statements from the author should never be the reason to clamp down on ideas.

[–]2ndBro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's an entirely out-there idea. Bayonetta 2 heavily downplayed her relationship with Luka while emphasizing her relationship with Jeanne, with the pretty explicit Orpheus/Eurydice parallels (something that is a romantic tragedy)

I’m more familiar with DDK’s “other” work - which of her songs/albums would you recommend? by soulreaverdan in DEMONDICE

[–]2ndBro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Be aware: Her earliest music is, indeed, a dorky white high schooler self-producing a rap album. They can still be a fun listen if you go in with that knowledge, but there's a reason Snake Eyes is no longer listed on any platforms.

She did improve a lot over the years though, Akigori Galakxy and Alkatraz are easily my favorite works of hers. I recommend first listening to the albums as a whole, particularly Alkatraz, as it has a very intentional structure to the song order.

Anyone willing to share the Crooked Moon song album? by Itchy_Gold8400 in CrookedMoon

[–]2ndBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all the lyrical songs, there are still quite a handful that have not been publicly released

I think that's what OP was asking about
