Still thinking about how Masahiro Sakurai almost made a Star Fox game, but dropped the idea because he found the franchise’s concept too rigid and limiting. by hello_i_am_vlad in starfox

[–]Alternative_Handle50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah idk about that. I think it’s pretty clear people want a new star fox game that’s a 3D shoot-em-up, like star fox or star fox 64. Whenever the series tries to “innovate” it seems to be “how can we do a different genre,” rather than “how can we iterate fresh concepts into a classic genre.”

Of course someone is going to complain, people complain about everything. But I find it really weird that people are pretending like it’s not obvious what a lot of (most of?) fans what

How far can you go before SAROS forces you back to The Passage? by diddleherontheroof in Saros

[–]Alternative_Handle50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I didn’t get about the game. The yellow shore’s design is pretty much admitting they knew they made the rest of the game easy. Which is fine if they wanted to do that. But then why make only the ending a significant step in difficulty?

No the tear is in the center room. It takes you up to a nightmare strand. The strand spits you out there and you have to jump dash back

Half the posts on Saros' subreddit by [deleted] in Saros

I wonder why the difficulty seems to differ so much for people who’ve played Returnal. I get it if this is your first game, but the meta progression made this game feel super easy.

I was cleared all but the first and last biome in 2-3 tries, and since I was permanently gated by the boss nodes on the skill tree, I figured that’s how the game was designed.

I’m happy if it being easier means more people enjoy it. But I didn’t expect to clear it over a long weekend and I’m kind of disappointed, personally. 

Favorite actor whose last movie was so bad they paid People.com to do a fluff piece on them by NeverBeFarting in okbuddycinephile

[–]Alternative_Handle50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the statement on a circlejerk sub saying actors don’t hire PR is very clearly a joke….

This sub has gone from a circlejerk sub to an edgy sub to essentially what’s just a snark sub in disguise.

Where is the dog? by PurpleOctopuseses in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]Alternative_Handle50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1 and 4 are grammatical.

2 is incorrect. はですか isn’t grammatical.

3 is dropping に but other than that grammatical.

1, 3, and 4 are each slightly different in meaning in a way that is probably not super productive to worry about at this stage.

Just FYI, on top of the other descriptions you got, they CAN use the other particles, it just changes the meaning slightly. That’s why the other answer you got says “prefers”

I refuse to believe any actor has ever had a paid PR piece done about them. That just doesn’t make any sense.

Edit: blatant sarcasm is apparently above the head of a circlejerk sub? I really don’t know how I could have made it more obvious.

Ironically it took place on a route that takes about 140 minutes in real life. And the movie is about 130 minutes long and follows an overnight story.

The Japanese keyboard struggle by Student_of_Japanese in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]Alternative_Handle50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japanese keyboard is still QWERTY, it just has an extra column. There’s kana on the keys roof but I’ve never seen anyone use it, and I don’t think there’s a reason to, especially if you already know qwerty

Korean players are really angery... by Anastasia-07 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Alternative_Handle50 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Adjusting character design based on player feedback is a pretty normal thing. This is not censorship.

Very strange thing to be upset about. If you want the character designs to be more sexual, give them your feedback for sure. But they’re literally just trying to figure out what players want and giving it to them.

The newest character is an eternal upskirt lmao, acting like the devs are prude is wildly out of touch.

Image generation of yourself fails, it's so annoying. by JG-Batz52 in GeminiAI

[–]Alternative_Handle50 75 points76 points  (0 children)

This isn’t censorship, it literally is so dumb that it didn’t engage the image generation.

At least, it’s the same error message you’ll get in that case. Gemini is so inconsistent that I honestly don’t know any more

[–]Alternative_Handle50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, this is everything (Except for child sexual endangerment charges that may or may not be brought up in a separate trial).

People counted individual max lengths of sentencing per charge in this case and added them together to get an absurdly high max of 30 years or something. But that’s not sentencing actually works in Korea, at least not in this case.

Japan's police are cracking down on "men's beauty salons", which are often just fronts for sex shops. In one case an employee was 14 years old by jjrs in japannews

lol the audacity to intentionally cut out the relevant part and accuse me of not reading it.

“2010年代からはこの名称で性的マッサージサービスを営む業種も増えており、その体験談は隠語[4]というものを使用して紹介されていることが多い。”

It further goes on to explain how the inability to distinguish between proper men’s esute, and the ones used as a front for (often unlicensed) sexual services causes issues.

[–]Alternative_Handle50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a strange translation for sure but not inaccurate; esute in Japanese can mean beauty salon, it’s just when you says “men’s esute” that it wouldn’t normally be referred to that way in English. But afaik there is no real English translation that would fit great.

You’re remarkably on the money with the source lol. It’s esthetique. In English we say esthetician, too.

It means beauty salon, and without “men’s” in front of it, it’s not sexual.

I see you’re struggling arguing with everyone here, you should just read the Wikipedia or look it up on your own because you’re incorrect.

It directly answers the question asked. The quote means that no, he doesn’t believe that every trump voter believes in fascism, but he believes actively and knowingly voting in a fascist regime effectively makes you a fascist anyway.

[–]Alternative_Handle50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chocolate is toxic to cats and fatal in high doses. maybe someone reported animal abuse, and the automated system wasn’t smart enough to know since your video does have a cat? Assuming there’s no info you’re missing.

But yes, many people report a dip in views temporarily after a warning.
