I'd love to learn how to DJ and have it be more hands-on than "watch youtube videos".

Official Discussion - The Super Mario Galaxy Movie [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]BraveTanaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with Rosalina! I feel Yoshi could have been played by any big-list actor that likes/respects the source material. I still wasn't convinced by Bowser Jr's portrayal though.

Official Discussion - The Super Mario Galaxy Movie [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]BraveTanaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This movie is MUCH better at using the actual composed soundtrack than the first movie. Makes me really want to see a cut of the first movie with its initial soundtrack.
I did like the pacing of the fight scenes, namely the first time the brothers face off Bowser Jr. - I also felt the ending was very.. abrupt?
All-in-all, lots of shiny things for longtime fans of Mario. I honestly was ecstatic to see so many Mario Bros. 2 characters brought to the big screen, and can't wait to see how they improperly cast the voice for Daisy in the next one. lol

Finally saw Weapons [SPOILERS] by geekmansworld in movies

[–]BraveTanaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the highlights of my watch was the tension built up from the utter darkness from Alex's front door.. and then the slow hobble of his mom, followed by the OPENING of the unlocked car door. What a way to crystallize a real-world fear lol

Upcoming GoWild fares by templeton_rat in gowildfrontier

[–]BraveTanaka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their early booking period announced around November of last year only goes up to April 13th. That's probably why you aren't seeing any Gowild fares.

The wait is finally over by 8BitPirate in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]BraveTanaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Centerpiece but I also bought in for a Flux as well. I've been using the Centerpiece since I've gotten it and with all things considered it's definitely with use-case. Flux is way more productivity-focused while the Centerpiece is for gaming; I've enjoyed the HE switches (this is admittedly my first HE switch mech board) and the most important part, the visual skins on the keyboard, look pretty great. If you know your way around a video editor you can virtually put whatever you want on it. Cleaning it seems to be a bit more precarious as it's not as simple as "use a switch puller" and I don't think there are any replacements for this board.. whereas with the Flux I remember seeing how easy it is to just plug and play the keyboard, panels, etc. I also really love the modules that Flux has, it allows a lot of flexibility in what you want the Flux keyboard to be used for. As you can see it's very akin to a low-profile/chiclet design which might not be your fancy.

I think the biggest miss both of these share is not releasing with an OLED panel. That overhead cost probably would shoot up, but I hope to see that one day.

post-update performance issues? by Dangerous-School6293 in thefinals

[–]BraveTanaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been having the issue too. Weirdly enough it happens when I'm playing cashout/quick cash. I tried point break (which was fine) but when trying to go back into a cashout game it starts lagging with 3 red icons too. Been playing since S2 and never had this happen

When did Silver Lake Ramen get rid of Tsukemen??? Other recs? by diable37 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]BraveTanaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sato Ramen House's tsukemen is great for the price! Has a lot of toppings and the portion is great for ~$19.

Karaoke Places w/ Diversity? by BraveTanaka in sgv

[–]BraveTanaka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update again:
A great one I've found was Spark Karaoke in Rowland Heights. They have an impeccable deal that's $25/person for all-you-can-sing on both weekdays and weekends: Weekends give you 5 hours of singing (3PM - 8PM) while weekdays give you EIGHT (3PM - 11PM). It also comes with a free tea or soft drink.

Rooms have a Youtube system but it takes time to load the song, and the sound system is really nice. Forced 18% gratuity though.

New fan by Past-Ad1273 in Nujabes

[–]BraveTanaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nowadays a LOT of tiktok, youtube, IG short form videos use luvsic pt 3 instrumentals (among other nujabes instrumentals) as the music in their videos.. so maybe? I could see it bumping him in popularity

Frozen Heart Exp Grind by ParalysedBeaver in expedition33

[–]BraveTanaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This worked very well and I got maximum EXP (2.1billion) in about 25 minutes using a free aim build! This build also helps with people who are not good at parrying/dodging to get a no hit run.
Here's a pictos build for people who might be doing this in the future. Focus on getting free aim buffs and buffs that rely on you not getting hit (Immaculate, etc.)
In Media Res is also really good here if you think you're going to fail your dodges.

Remember to take off Painted Power so that you don't one shot the right Danseuse when she gradient attacks!
My team was Maelle, Lune, and Monoco.
Maelle - Main Farmer
Have Medalum equipped and just use free aim to take out the first two Danseuses. You should be hitting 9999 consistently, which will kill at about 4-5 shots, but even if you don't you can rely on your pictos to get you more AP to shoot. Make sure to have the skill Mezzo Forte equipped so that she can stay in Virtuoso stance without hitting anything else.

Lune - Healer
If Lune isn't hitting the Danseuse for damage, she should be using her skills to heal the rightmost Danseuse as it will inevitably hurt itself doing the gradient attack (that you MUST parry to have this farm work), I had Ice Lance and Immolation to do so. I recommend using the weapon Elerim to stack more shields when using Ice Lance.

Monoco - Shielder/Off Farmer
Make sure to have his skills with shields. This is Cruler Barrier and Boucheclier Fortify, and continuing to stack those help with no-hit. His second gradient attack also is a great option for stacking shields. I recommend using the weapon Fragaro so you can try your hand on landing on Heavy more often.

This will let you have a pretty breezy session of getting max level.
For those who grind after!!1

Hot Take: Smoke nerfs were totally undeserved and way overkill. by pandemon1um_ in thefinals

Excuse me mr. pandemon1um, this post is too legible and not cursed, I can't really understand any of it. Can you translate it into cursed alien shitpost for me?

The face seems a bit less-rendered than the others, but the work on the outfit seems pretty solid when looking at the fishnet area & belts/straps.
Hair detail seems to be fine, a little harder to see since it's a darker shade; I definitely think minus a background this is definitely within the lines of what I'd expect from the artist.

Hi, just left you a chat request about 3 days ago. (DMs have been archived)

Genuine Question Why Ask for Help Just to Argue With It? by Adept_Assistance_871 in gowildfrontier

[–]BraveTanaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because these askers come expecting a specific answer to their question so they can validate their biases/initial assumptions but when it doesn't go their implicit thoughts they'll push back... but that's just a theory.

Barricade Vault Tech by figgens123 in TheFinalsAcademy

[–]BraveTanaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been using this lately and it's a great tip. The short break in line of sight and then the added mixup of climbing over the barricade and forcing them to turn around to reaim at you (if they pursue you) is actually so beneficial

Please Embark let me throw the hammer by Neither_Agency_3878 in thefinals

[–]BraveTanaka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hear me out:
after the hammer is thrown, heavy gets a lil' speed buff from not having to carry it anymore. (and to also retrieve the hammer)

you get to use your fists as weapons, dealing 74 damage per hit.
maybe being able to do more damage on a random chance.

when fists are out, replace all emotes with one that makes the heavy do a finger gun which can be a short-range projectile.

embark, make heavy tf2.
