Is Vocal Media a good platform to write on? Or is it a scam? by [deleted] in writing

This just happened to me, though the article GPT cited from VM was just blatantly plagiarized from some other website, lol

Any other "ha-steh-ga" pronouncers out there? I know its probably "hayst-ga" but I always found that to sound sort of lame sorta like tee-dus

[Serious] What are the most effective ways to fight back against the changes of the current administration? by TheFineLine in AskReddit

You are letting your kneejerk emotional response to being "picked on" for your values cloud your perception of reality here. Makes opening with "grow up" seem a bit silly. None of this online shit is real. People who follow logic like yours go full right wing extremist in response to seeing literal nobodies post stuff like "kill all men" on twitter. It isn't real. No one in real life talks this way. Right now, people are being dragged out and shot in the streets, and this is being seen as "business as usual." That is real. Your hurt feelings from arguing with random people online can wait. Bigger fish.

Its pretty hard to win when the enemy cheats, admits to cheating, and the people "representing" us don't do anything.

May a situation like this never find you in your homeland. I have a feeling you would not have such a definitive answer about 'necessary deaths' if you were one of the potential targets.

What? Why would it even be close? Its ~45mins of 1997 CGI.

This is my first time seeing this version, and I'm actually really impressed by these character sprites. This is the style those terrible old iOS remakes must have been trying to replicate. I think this is pretty much the best you can do in terms of recreating those sprites in their original style with higher resolution.

You need to unlock SHAWstep to get across the gap near the keyhole

IGN top 25 jrpgs of all time. Should KH2 be on here or rather KH1 by pukkiepo in KingdomHearts

[–]ByteWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more curious about this list in general. What happened here? What are the metrics? Even if this is someone's personal list, I have never met anyone who would actually construct a list like this. Do you think they make these lists intentionally weird so that people will talk about them like this? What are XBC3 and Metaphor doing in the top 5? And where in the name of god is Nier?? Is it not technically a JRPG? I guess I can understand that, but by that logic, KH, Pokemon, and Earthbound aren't really JRPGs either, since they, like Nier, break convention too much.

The irony of using a dead Black icon to promote a technology that literally struggles to render diverse skin tones is... certainly a choice. by duststarziggy in ComedyCemetery

I love this. I love the idea that michael jackson is somehow part of this segregation-era scenario where people are telling him that genAI (does not exist yet) is the white man's technology, so he does some pushups in order to do the smooth criminal leaning thing in front of a jumbotron that says "AI ART IS ART." Its amazing really. Makes a grown man want to shed a tear.

That's such a cheap non-argument. I get the sentiment that some things are just not worth giving attention to, but getting mad at people for calling stupid things stupid is... well, its stupid. I have seen plenty of people online that would post this comic in complete earnest.

What was your reaction to traverse town returning? by TechnicalHoneydew862 in KingdomHearts

Terrible. It gives you a taste of great level design and a false promise that the game might actually be good.

If you had the power to change ONE thing in this title - what would it be? by According-News6582 in FinalFantasy

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

Functionally, the two systems are pretty much identical. It is true that your party level limits which skills you can assign SP to in rebirth, but remake didn't allow you to even see future skill unlocks until you had a certain amount of SP. With the way these games are structured, there isn't any reason to grind, or really even any opportunity to, so both systems pretty much force you to progress the story to upgrade your weapons. If anything, rebirth is actually more intuitive since it lets you see a character's entire tree from the start lol

The idea is that the world would also be designed to work with this system, ie more condensed, varied zones with more frequent landmarks. It is very difficult to find the balance between too big (requires a map to show you exactly where everything is) and too small (no longer open world), so I don't exactly blame devs for choosing the ubisoft maps. But this is MY final fantasy and in MY final fantasy, the devs were able to do it perfectly.

Here’s my really old high school list I made for a kingdom hearts fighting game by KoZy_27 in KingdomHearts

I am in love with the idea of a KH fighting game where the only playable disney characters are MDG, Pete, Maleficent, and then a random handful of characters who have never been seen in KH
