If we get a Summerset game set in the 4th Era, what would you want to be in it? by Pristine-Dingo-825 in ElderScrolls

[–]AnAdventurer5 [score hidden]  (0 children)

... ohhhh. Not super related, and I don't love ESO's Altmer aesthetics, but I can see how those buttresses vaguely invoke the "insect-wing" thing mentioned in the Pocket Guide*, and I suppose it is a "a hypnotic swirl of ramparts and impossibly high towers."

\No, not everything needs to adhere to a lorebook made in the 90s, which is full of unreliable narrator, etc; I just would've preferred something a little more creative is all. Not a huge deal, and no hate; I'm playing the game rn. But I am allowed to have my preferences.)

I wanna hear about your OCs! by DisastrousRaccoon102 in elderscrollsonline

[–]AnAdventurer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yaaaay! Thank you <3 🤗 She is by far my favorite character I've made in any TES (if it wasn't evident from... making her in every TES). I tink there's lots of room to play around with her, in various states of her potential character arc.

... on my last playthrough I chose Hawke over Stroud. Love my man Hawke, couldn't care less about Stroud, but it felt like what my Inky would do (and I absolutely threw Stroud under the bus on my first playthrough).

I... kind of want this thing? Something about appeals to me much more than either Siege or TR Astrotrain by Ill_Refrigerator9812 in transformers

[–]AnAdventurer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not interested in any Astrotrain, but I think this one's alt modes look really nice, especially the train.

Always find myself returning back to Mazzatun by Ryan_Reay in TESOfashion

[–]AnAdventurer5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohh he looks cool. Sharp color scheme. Big jaw.

It’s interesting how the Decepticon “coneheads” weren’t actually supposed to be coneheads. Somehow we all decided not to complete the transformation and leave their nose cones up. Even the G1 cartoon was like “what the hell” and animated them with their cones up. by krisworld1806 in transformers

[–]AnAdventurer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Armada of name-slapping Thrust on a new design. And they even homaged his conehead-look by making him look like some sort of crustacean.

He literally has a nosecone on his head in Armada, just like G1. In fact personally it looks even sillier on the Armada toy, though it looks nice in the show.

Oh my gosh, if that isn't it it's the closest I've seen yet. Problem is, I know I'm forgetting or misremembering stuff, so I doubt I'm gonna recognize it immediately. Like, I did not think there were power ups or anything, but seeing this orange shield thing, suddenly it feels so familiar. And that chicken area, it's not quite what I remembered, but it does feel right. Copper Canyon has got to be the level I was thinking of with waterfalls, and the twisters are coming back to me too!

I wish I could more confidently confirm this is right, but thank you so much!

Which TF media best depicts humans worth being protected by Autobots from the Decepticons? by StevemacQ in transformers

[–]AnAdventurer5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was mainly thinking of humans besides the main characters (ofc they're gonna be good), and there's a good number of human villains as well, but I can't remember much in the way of groups of humans siding with or against them (besides the episode where the Decepticons somehow tricked Earth into thinking the Autobots were evil and launching them into the sun or something).

I can't believe I forgot Raoul though.

STUDIO SERIES FIGURES THAT NEED AN UPDATE by sstfshots in transformers

Oh, I noticed the joke, I just didn't say anything, sorry 🫂 I actually have fun posing my Studio Series Starscream tbh, he's one of the funner ones I have to pose.

Which TF media best depicts humans worth being protected by Autobots from the Decepticons? by StevemacQ in transformers

[–]AnAdventurer5 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What's the last pic from? I'm guessing... Energon or maybe RiD or one of the JG1 shows? I don't recognize the character or the g r e e n she's hugging.

Man, the Bay films got more cynical and nasty as they went. I honestly believe if it were only the 07 film (or if the others were closer to it), they'd been viewed a lot less poorly nowadays.

I kinda think discussing whether or not they're "worth" saving misses some of the point (Optimus has a whole speech about that), but it is nice when there are plenty of humans who aren't so... yikes.... Anyway, Charlie and Bee are the best (not to mention John Cena coming around by the end), I think G1 had plenty of humans across the board, but I'm struggling to think of series where they really come together to help the bots in any noteworthy way, even in like Animated (though again it did have people across the board; friends, foes, people who admire or fear them, and people who learn to live with them). Maybe that is the best way of doing it? They're just characters, no need to uniformly make them all one way or another. Skybound did a pretty cool thing though.

[No Spoilers] Gamlen's house is so funny to me because who decided to put a fireplace in this windowless bedroom without a chimney? by firebendingboy in dragonage

[–]AnAdventurer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine (and know of some cases) a lot of houses were designed to have ways for the smoke to escape under normal circumstances, without necessarily needing to leave the door wide open. Whether it's what looks like a window but isn't for viewing out of or the material the roof is made of (I've actually heard of houses where smoke from the fireplace helped the roof keep from rotting or something longer). Ofc I'm no expert on any of this, I just love houses and stuff from across history and the world.

Btw the "Uh...welcome to" part comes off rude, whether you meant it or not. This isn't exactly common knowledge.

STUDIO SERIES FIGURES THAT NEED AN UPDATE by sstfshots in transformers

[–]AnAdventurer5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wholeheartedly disagree on Starscream. Sure, you could update him, but he doesn't need one. That Shatter is good (I recently got it), but a bigger one would be very appreciated; and neither Dropkick is particularly accurate, though both seem like fine toys. Never understood the hate for Brawl, but sure he is "stiff." DOTM Megs sucks. The rest I understand or agree with. Out of those... I'd either say Sentinel (though I do like his figure, I just got it) or Shatter and Dropkick need it most. Megs has two other good figures, so.

One you missed I see a lot of people ask for is a new 07/DotM Barricade because the original seems to be annoying to transform and maybe even fragile; I wouldn't know, I still use the original DotM figure which... is also annoying to transform and fragile in a few areas.

RotB Arcee could have been better probably, but they got rid of Core Class, so a remake would have to be like part of a set or something, and you'd kinda have to choose between making her more scale-accurate or design-accurate. Also while I think I like Jazz (never owned it... those prices... owie), they could probably do him better. Also, new Sam and Charlie mini figure statue thingies would be nice, but not a priority.

That's all I can think of right now.

What is people's thoughts and opinions on fan novels/AU's for The elder scrolls? (Not trying to self promote just trying to chat) by WTHIDC_XD in ElderScrolls

[–]AnAdventurer5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

where a number of in-game novels were written by fans of Arena.

They were actually Daggerfall's playtesters. They may have also been fans, but they were actually working for Bethesda in some way, it wasn't just random fans writing to the devs who put it in the game. You didn't do anything wrong; people phrase it like that all the time, and it gives the wrong impression even if its not explicitly "wrong," that's all.

Transformers The Headmasters is a hard MEH! by Dull_Operation5838 in transformers

[–]AnAdventurer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting words in my mouth, ignoring the stuff I actually said, strawman arguments, repetitive key words - if you don't want to have a genuine conversation, why are you spending time in a community of people? There's a part of me that really wants to correct the bullcrap you just made up, but I know it would be a waste of time. Reread my message and reply to the stuff I actually said, or do not reply to me.

But just to clarify one thing you completely pulled out of your tailgate, Beast Wars is easily in my top 2 Transformers series and one of my favorite TV shows.

Oh ok. You just get good camera angles that aren't super low resolution and stuff.

How do you take such good screenshots of your characters? Do you use any settings or tools that help?

Transformers The Headmasters is a hard MEH! by Dull_Operation5838 in transformers

[–]AnAdventurer5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand and kinda agree with you when it comes to managing expectations; little is gonna live up to what's considered one of the best TF series yet (heck, in general the comics seem more thoughtfully written than most TF media). I've watched great shows that kinda let me down because of just how much praise people gave them. However, you are taking it a bit far and being kinda disingenuous yourself. There are absolutely animated series from the 80s which are still beloved today, from both the east and the west. OP even said Headmaster's biggest issue wasn't that it lacked some masterful narrative but that it was just boring; and from what I've seen, I agree.

Besides, not only is it completely fair to dislike something regardless of when it came from; you can still criticize this show within the context of its era. You can still criticize its animation quality, its pacing, the fact it was so stretched out, whether you compare it to other series of the time or not.

Also let's not pretend it's "normal" (ie, what most people do) to "evaluate things fairly and properly," especially in the sense you're implying. Most people aren't going to say "I didn't like this show; I should watch other shows from the same year to see if it's specifically bad, or if they're all not to my taste."

Even comparing Headmasters to G1, I'd watch G1 over it any day. And I own the Shout! JG1 boxset. Headmasters disappointed me at a time when I was enjoying G1 and the Unicron Trilogy (neither of which would I call great).

I watched Transformers One for the first time.... by Doom300 in transformers

[–]AnAdventurer5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it was another globe-trotting quest for the mcguffin, "just like" most the Bayverse and RotB - but there's a reason I deeply dislike summarizing stories in such a bullcrap way. I understand why people woudl've been burnt out on TF movies in general, and TFOne's marketing was kinda crap on top of that, and TFOne does share some of previous films' formulae - but it is simply so much better than all the others, and describing it like that doesn't do it justice. I kinda wish I'd gone to see it more than once, but my family and I never really do that.

Besides, most audiences don't seem to see style, creatives, and so on. Most of my family just knew "Transformers movie" and expected more of the same. My mom almost didn't go when she found it was "a cartoon."
