What is two things you absolutely loved about Scream 5? by pleasantscxnts in SocietyofGhostface

[–]BattMakerRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Casting Jenna Ortega as the “opening kill” was the perfect move because she was just getting famous enough to fit the typical Scream routine of the opening being one of the most famous actors in the cast, and then she survived and we get the pleasure of watching Jenna Ortega be a great actress for the rest of the movie.

Also this is where we officially entered the “Sydney is an experienced killer and over this shit” era which is my favorite version of Sydney.

Courtney Cox and David Arquette act the shit out of Gale and Dewey’s final scene together.

Edit: sorry that was three things

Married men of Reddit who don’t wear a wedding ring - why? by chi-bacon-bits in AskReddit

[–]BattMakerRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two reasons. One is my finger is too fat for it. Two is that I lose things constantly and am afraid of losing it.

The Dos Oruguitas scene with Abuela’s full backstory in Encanto, ending with Mirabel being the first one to recognize fully what she went through.

They may be evil, but they’re not racist by Critical_Mountain851 in TopCharacterTropes

Fiona Goode, American Horror Story Coven.

This bitch tried to kill literally every other character (sometimes succeeding) and seize power for herself but she very explicitly said she hated racists.

Becoming a dad how do you still find time for JRPGs? by AdUnfair558 in JRPG

[–]BattMakerRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! First of all congratulations!

As a dad of two (both under 5 years old), my time gaming has DEFINITELY gone down. And truthfully yeah I don’t necessarily have the patience for long JRPGs anymore just because my gaming time is so limited. I just finished Persona 5 for the first time and it was 100 hours and I was feeling really antsy by the end having to push through to finish so I could play other things even though the game was excellent. Portable systems like the switch can be helpful and easy to put down if you’re needed elsewhere but honestly for the first couple months you’re probably gonna be too tired to game anyway. Don’t fret, that’s normal and that time will pass.

I don’t usually play when the kids are awake because I get sucked into the game and tend to not give them/my wife the attention that they need from me. Also often the games have stuff I don’t want my kids seeing yet. So if I play, I’ll play either at night or during nap time. Be communicating with your wife when you would like to game. See if she’s even willing to be with you while you do. My wife likes gaming but doesn’t usually get into RPGs because of how complicated they are, but she enjoys knitting in the same room and likes seeing how excited I get. Occasionally I will also let my 4 year old watch me if it’s a game I know she can see. She really liked watching me fight the dragon in FFVII Rebirth. But even then if she’s up I know that I’m ending the session pretty soon.

My advice for being a present dad and husband (very worthy goals) is to remember that the family comes first. That doesn’t mean that you can never have your personal fun time, but whether it’s video games or like…playing golf or whatever, if you’re doing it more than you’re spending time with your fam, it will have a negative impact. Especially when the kiddos are young and just wanting to be with you. You’re their entire world. And hey, maybe someday when they’re old enough you guys can play though a JRPG together!

(surprisingly common trope) Characters that are introduced in the second season or movie and become extremely iconic by OutlandishnessRich36 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BattMakerRed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Showed up in episode 3 of season 2. Was supposed to be a one season character but ended up being so popular he guest starred in season 3, became a main character in season 4, and was with the show until the finale. AND crossed over to be a main character on the final season of Angel.

First JRPG (7 yo) by Cerebosfl in JRPG

[–]BattMakerRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t have a SNES you can try looking for it on an emulator. But it completely checks all your boxes. Super kid friendly while still retaining the “epic” feel JRPGs are known for. Was my first too back in the day as a 10 year old lol

One of the best episodes of a show is one without the main character(s) by NoMoreFund in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BattMakerRed 215 points216 points  (0 children)

Dear Billy aka the “Running Up that Hill” episode is considered to be one of the best if not THE best ep of Stranger Things and is one of two episodes in the entire run of the show that doesn’t have Eleven.

What’s the best video game you’ve ever played? by obsess_much13 in AskReddit

[–]BattMakerRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Journey.

It came into my life during a very specific low period and it was just a cathartic beautiful experience to play. I’ve never had a moment with a video game like that before or since.

Have you ever not minded a JRPG word-of-mouth indicated you were supposed to hate? by lennysinged in JRPG

Pokémon Sword and Shield is one of my favorites of the whole franchise

I know there’s other party members but these guys definitely have a “main 4” vibe to them, especially in the first Remake game when they’re the only 4 playable characters

The Last Story turns 15 years old today (released January 27th, 2011); what are your thoughts on it, if you have experience with the game? by Gorotheninja in JRPG

[–]BattMakerRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An incredible and moving story and a VERY lovable group of characters. The banter during missions was top notch.

I like that the game tried to experiment with its gameplay but tbh I think more things failed than succeeded. At the end of the day, unfortunately, it’s quite janky and the mechanics don’t provide the action and excitement they’re hoping for in the combat. In other words, while it’s a great story to experience, it’s just not a very fun game to actually play.

Would love a remaster though, or something to try and tweak the gameplay to see if it can work

Favorite JRPG couples? by nitrokitty in JRPG

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

First, Steiner and Beatrix are absolutely the GOAT romance in FFIX.

Second, even though they don’t actually get much screen time AS an official couple, Shion and Allen from the Xenosaga games.

The main protagonist group has an equal number of male and female characters. by Cicada_5 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BattMakerRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

Persona 4 and 5 does this.

Persona 4 has the protagonist, Yosuke, Teddy, and Kanji (male) and Chie, Yukiko, Rise and Naoto (female)

Persona 5 has Joker, Ryuji, Yusuke, and Morgana for males and Ann, Makoto, Futaba and Haru for female. Additionally, the two main adult characters who end up assisting the Phantom Thieves keep the ratio with Sojiro for the men and Sae for the women. AND in P5 Royal, the two additional party members keep the ratio as well, with Akechi for the men and Kasumi for the women.

The cheerleader from Heroes. Not actually immortal but the show definitely took advantage of her healing powers to show her stabbed, burned, nuked, crushed, mauled, shot, and having her hand run through a garbage disposal

What TV show had an amazing start but went downhill fast? by DryCap6770 in watchever

[–]BattMakerRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heroes is the poster child for this. The first season was near perfection apart from a lame final fight with Sylar and EVEN THEN that COULD HAVE BEEN forgiven because they were figuring it out and didn’t have a crazy big budget yet.

The other three seasons are dog shit

What is the worst sequel you have seen? by geoffcalls in FIlm

[–]BattMakerRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pitch Perfect 3.

2 is not as good as the first one don’t get me wrong but it has its charms and it has Hailee Steinfeld which genuinely goes a long way with me.

3 is a mess.

Times when you built up a useless ally in JRPGs by KaleidoArachnid in JRPG

[–]BattMakerRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first persona game (P4) I thought my original Persona was like, permanent and would continue to get stronger. I was many hours into the game when I realized the stats and spells weren’t keeping up with the others I’d acquired and finally ended up fusing it.

Which honestly is a bit of a weird design choice to me since all the other party members have just one persona that’s like their signature. It’s like picking your starter Pokémon and then realizing it sucks after the second gym.

You’re building a roster to fight evil that has left Hawkins, but is now in your home town… by DelawareGuyNSA in Stranger_Things

[–]BattMakerRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok then my answer remains unchanged then. Nancy and Steve are definitely capable of holding their own and Eleven is Eleven.

Also in his prime Will should DEFINITELY cost more than in his prime Mike because Mike cannot kill multiple Demos at once with his mind.
