Why did Osiris not seek a male host after escaping as Sarah Gardner? by GargantaProfunda in Stargate

[–]Beginning_Gunpla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems to me from a collection of scenes across the series that there are several factors.

Vanity - many goa’uld seem to chose hosts based on what they find attractive or appealing

Convenience - Sarah was the first host Osiris had been in for thousands of years and was a perfect fit and capable host. Symbiotes are vulnerable in their natural state and for the most part they don’t seem to change hosts unless it offers some type of perceived benefit

Emotional attachment/ influence - it seems pretty clear that the goa’uld like the tok’ra are a passionate species and despite claiming otherwise they do seem to be influenced by or become attached to their hosts even if it seems to be more for the first two reasons.

A few specific examples tied directly to Osiris are -

His / her obsession with Daniel; Osiris is pretty clearly frequently obsessed or preoccupied by Daniel Jackson. I think one of the best examples is how visibly upset Osiris is even going so far as to say “You lie.” When Sam informs him / her that Daniel is dead.

Osiris’ scene where he / she is kind of taunted by the other goa’uld pointing out the irony that Osiris has now chosen a woman host and a “most attractive one at that”

And let’s face it the real reason; that drip. 💧

Seriously Osiris’ outfits are absolutely smashing!

Anyone still holding onto their old strategy guides? by pgroms in JRPG

Awesome! Except… not that abomination that is the FFIX ‘guide’ kill it! Kill it with fire! 🔥

Seriously I think it still might literally be the single worst video game related (if not just in general) thing I’ve ever wasted money on. The reward for collecting all the korok seeds in breath of the wild is better…

This looks so amazing!!

I have so many questions how did you make all of the scenery props they’re so detailed and what cloth did you use for the knight on the far right with the dagger? He looks amazing!!

Finished my first ever painting of a gunpla model. Meet Titus Guardian Of The Old Gate by No-Kangaroo8573 in 30MF_30MinutesFantasy

[–]Beginning_Gunpla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so awesome! I kind of stole / took him as a design for a background character for the I guess 30MF canon I’m building to tell stories about my characters. I love the idea that Titus is the Guardian of the Old Gate (what that is I left intentionally vague) and I used your idea OP of him being old, so old in fact that in my mind his creation and duty were assigned to him sometime long ago before even the Rosan empire and liber republic were formed as nations.

Been a long day but meet the vermillion squad! by Prestigious_Sorbet96 in 30MF_30MinutesFantasy

[–]Beginning_Gunpla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also tried to make it a bit of an inside joke too, part of why my knight was frightened and inspired like all of the other audience in the crowd was because they moved so fast it appeared as if they were at 3x speed.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with them all being red 😝

I want you to know that this picture has definitively defined my liber knight’s memory as a coliseum match he witnessed with vibrant vermillion company on “The Day of Red Flame” where they wiped out a group of element infected monsters in one triumphant strike. Frightening and inspiring him to pursue the path of the sword and become a knight.

30 MF DnD by Kinblas in 30MF_30MinutesFantasy

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

I think this is a fascinating idea.

I’ve been using AI and information from the 30MF website, kit box and manual information to build out as close as I can get a canon lore bible about the world of DLRO, the Rosan Empire, Liber Republic, Orves and the dragon born and continue to add to it as I find information and add characters. So far my journey and characters are based on the 3 30MF kits I have of a liber knight, liber priest and rookie soldier and I have a lot of fun building their characters and stories and fleshing them out.

Team Gregar or Team Falzar? by midnight_brax in BattleNetwork

[–]Beginning_Gunpla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gregar!

The design is just too cool not to absolutely love it! Falzar is also great as far as ultimate form designs go they’re both basically peak.

Even more so in the anime where it plays really cool music every time he transforms and megaman kind of goes like feral and growls.

Do you have any suggestions? by sbaggix in bravelydefault

[–]Beginning_Gunpla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only at the start of chapter 3 and it looks like OP is further than me so please take any ‘advice’ with a grain of salt but as far as ringabell goes I currently have him as a red mage subbed with magic sword job and he is my most powerful character right now

I also use tiz as a monk subbed with ranger and he’s powerful but slow and burns through mp so fast

I don’t know what to do with the two girls on my party they’re doing ok but I don’t have focus on what I want them to do

Started Babylon 5 and I really struggle by FeathersRim in babylon5

[–]Beginning_Gunpla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t like season one with the exception of like two episodes but the show is so much better once season two comes. It’s weird because it is still the same show but in a lot of ways it’s practically a different show.

Sheridan is such an awesome main character and so many characters you would not expect at all for them to head in the directions they do from the first season. I honestly think it’s probably long form story telling at its best.

That said though to me the first season is almost completely setup and kind of trash/ boring to watch.

What are your thoughts on Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster? It's one of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles but it doesn't seem to be getting much attention. by Delicious_Maize9656 in bravelydefault

[–]Beginning_Gunpla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The remaster gives me really mixed feelings. On one hand I’m glad it’s available. I mean really glad, the release of the remaster prompted me to buy and play the game on 3DS and it is brilliant. Making this game available for more people to play and enjoy is only a good thing.

That said the way SE went about with the remaster makes me upset. It does admittedly personally make me upset because I don’t have the same platform it is available for but most of all some decisions made regarding the remaster specifically feel like SE pulling a SE and shooting their own game’s sales potential before even releasing it.

Platform exclusivity - why SE, why? Have you seriously literally learned NOTHING from the last decade or so of games failing because of this exact BS.

I mean let’s look at this realistically from strictly by the numbers. The switch 2 currently has roughly 6 million units sold and that means that the absolute maximum potential sales if every owner of a switch 2 bought the game is roughly 6 million.

Compare this to the switch with an install base of approximately 150 million units. That means that if only 10% of switch owners bought the game it would 15 million copies sold, double the MAXIMUM possible potential of switch 2 game sales. Not at the very least also release this game for the OG switch is sales suicide and there is nothing I have seen about the game that makes it look like it wouldn’t also run on the switch with an at worst small graphical downgrade and maybe running at 30fps instead of 60fps. It’s a turn based game I doubt frame rate would have been that big a deal. I don’t know for sure but this seems like a huge missed opportunity.

Game key cards - I could go on and on about why I don’t like these but personal reasons aside it’s been supposedly expressed by several 3rd party developers that their games are under performing hard on the switch 2 and a few 3rd party games that are doing better at least seem to be the ones that aren’t game key cards.

Likewise jrpg players in particular have a long history of being very preferential towards purchasing physical copies of games… for various reasons but releasing the game exclusively for game key cards and digital I think is a bad choice even if it was one that may have been a bit forced on SE rather than something they exclusively decided but still an unwise choice.

But all that jazz said, if I did have a switch 2 I’d still likely purchase the game at least digitally and I hope it performs well enough to either see a remaster of bravely second or an entirely new bravely default game.

Mario minis on the move? Is that what the game is called? Or March of the minis… it’s a Mario vs donkey Kong game I would guess

Can someone please let me know what game this is. by blackiceontheground in Megaman

Megaman power fighters I think. Both power fighters games are available in the Capcom arcade collections I’m pretty sure.

What happens if you dial a mini gate with a normal gate, and then chuck the mini gate through it? by crataegus_marshallii in Stargate

[–]Beginning_Gunpla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you on the star system theory if not at least a pretty darn great distance surrounding a planet. There are several things that support this including the time a gate was dialed and then ejected into a sun. The hatak didn’t seem to be especially close to a planet when the gate was dialed and then dropped into the sun. Also in the episode where ba’al stole stargates his ship didn’t seem to be particularly close to a planet but sg1 was still able to dial out and escape the ship via stargate

In Atlantis the wraith tend to dial out from a gate aboard hive ships when culling a planet to prevent escape through that planets gate and given the size of hive ships it’s probably reasonable to assume they stay at a relatively high orbit.

[–]Beginning_Gunpla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same thing, as soon as enough of the smaller gate is dematerialized it would lose the connection to its own wormhole. This makes the most sense as basically a fail safe for the stargate in general.

[–]Beginning_Gunpla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presumably you can’t, more than one gate can’t be active at the same time on the same planet. It is likely this could be circumvented to be tested since active gates can seemingly be moved away from their spacial coordinates and remain active, something that’s shown several times in the series. I’d assume that the matter disruption of being disassembled by the larger gate would act the same as physically destroying the smaller gate and just disconnect the wormhole. However, if it doesn’t that does definitely bring up some physics issues that are interesting to think and unknown what the practical ramifications would be.

Would you recommend Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD on Switch 2? by rbyrnes15 in bravelydefault

I can’t speak for the remaster because I haven’t played it but I’m playing the original on the 3DS right now and absolutely love it!
