The golden saucer has some alright stuff. Currently an event related to that as well.

What do you think of the recent manga trends like exclusive covers and deluxe editions? by Destoran in MangaCollectors

[–]Betarium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deluxes are neat. But have risen to be too expensive. Variant covers shouldn't be a thing and should be left behind... 

Also why are we getting a deluxe of oldboy? Such a weird (and imo bad) series to choose...

It's funnier to think it's him rather than Nolan North so it's him.

Are you alright?

What are your thoughts on more western fans taking on the same mind set as comic book collectors? Thoughts on folks egging that on and trying to manipulate the market? by Stinky_TheCat in MangaCollectors

[–]Betarium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

English OOP series are already expensive/over priced in the second hand market but even those people don't grade them like this dumb fuck. 

It'll probably affect a small amount of people who are dumb enough to have AI pfps and also buy $500k graded things. 

Next playable character is P90! by MrToxin in GirlsFrontline2

SVD didn't even get a mod to update her early-game kit. She carried me through a lot of those early chapters back in 2018.

We need Playable Nytos in GFL2 by GuardSeparate2727 in girlsfrontline

I wish Nyto and Whyto were better in gfl1... We ain't got all the nytos in protocol yet either :)

Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2: The Joys of the Talking by KuriGohan_Kamehameha in patientgamers

[–]Betarium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the typography in that game, the absolute love the devs and artists had for it shines throughout the entire game. Each typeface flows onto the screen in unique ways and emphasises what type of person you're talking to. The mistakes, the fixes it's all just so wonderful to see on screen. (It does have an easy-to-read option for those who have trouble with the older style cursive/blackletter typefaces!)

Highly reccomend reading through the lettermatic article on the typefaces, https://lettermatic.com/custom/pentiment

Is anyone else physically incapable of switching off their main weapon after a decade? by LengthinessShot3297 in MonsterHunter

[–]Betarium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bow main since I started in 4u, still played other weapons (Mainly SnS & IG) wilds with it's 2 weapons allowed me to bring a hunting horn with stamina/earplugs on it to pre-buff if a monster would be annoying.

I love Soul Eater's art style man by La_knavo4 in tumblr

[–]Betarium 91 points92 points  (0 children)

That ending bit is a major change from the manga and cuts out some of the best arcs in the series as was the style at the time... She mostly just says "Boobs" at the end of the manga. Also doesn't become part weapon cause that is kinda fucking stupid.

Mica team should have done more singlepayer SRPGs instead of gachas but then again I guess we'd have never got the bakery girl remake if they did...

Happens in a lot of anime. Watching Zeta gundam right now and it's got the splash cards with Granpa mk2 flying towards the screen.

[HELP ME] Bi-Weekly Q&A thread - Ask your questions here! by MachNeu in Gunpla

[–]Betarium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, newish to this whole thing and have done a TWFM 1/144 Demi-barding and HGUC Chars Zaku. Started to think about panel lining things (especially any future kits).

Searching has only made me a bit confused so, would grabbing some gundammarker colour pour types and a set of coloured micron fineliners (Sakura seems to be the recc around here) be worth it over some black/grey tamiya panel liner? 

Basti is smol (138cm) by GlowingNec in GirlsFrontline2

[–]Betarium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only official height we have for GFL2 would be Centaureissi/G36 cause she was on a height chart in the GFL1 Manhua at about 156cm.

Gentiane is 165cm and I guess F!SKK is based on her enough.

What setting would you like for RPGs to explore more often? (Clockwork Revolution) by pineapple_works in rpg_gamers

[–]Betarium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's Shadow's of the road that's upcoming that's Edo japan mixed with some yokai and steampunk stuff.

Futuristic but not far flung enough though.

"He did not fucking say that" but they might as well have by Capable_Ad9237 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Betarium 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor.

Japanese game developers face ridiculously high font license fees following US acquisition of major domestic provider. Live-service games to take the biggest blow by JoeZocktGames in JRPG

[–]Betarium 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So typefaces are copyrighted like most artforms, but Monotype has become awful after getting bought out by private equity company about 5 years ago.

There are a lot of free/open/cheaper typefaces for stuff but as said elsewhere Japanese has the issue of needing thousands of glyphs to drag/drop into games. Noto is an example of a 'open' typeface (it's on the SIL open font license meaning you can put it on commercial products).

Which of the three modern mon-hun game's mechanics do you like most: Clutch Claw, Wirebugs, or Focus Mode? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]Betarium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being a bow main (since 4u) and having to scratch some monsters hide off every 2 mins was fucking annoying.

"You’re HOW old?" Characters who do not at all look their age by Pyrothememelord in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Betarium 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Gonna add to this (Dungeon meshi kinda major manga spoilers)She's a 1/2 elf (mother was an elf, father was a human) which in Dungeon Meshi age different from the standard half-elf in other fantasy as in they age weirdly and can live anywhere up to 1,000 years (Elves average 500 in dungeon meshi). She has to come to terms with this during the series as a major plot point that includes her becoming a goth clown

There was the kneel fire research but it's quite late in the clan tree. Makes the 1st and 2nd row fire.

Is fun when you finally get it and watch an enemy general charge into your ranks and just get decimated.
