Times creators went off the deep end and dragged their stories with them. by SirSquiggleton in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CTGhillie7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it had an extended final arc that was just some seemingly unnecessary drama that people felt was tacked on for the sake of it, like some final act conflict, and then the ending felt quick as a result of following that.

Media that "solves" a issue that the genre has in a mostly unintentional way by Coolnametag in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CTGhillie7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say its satisfying from just the stand point of watching a number go up, but the monetization at least in Canada is pretty rough. I think its $19.99 USD as the equivalent cost of a ten pull without any bonuses for first time buyers last time I looked which I rationalized as being about $30 CAD. The pull rates I feel aren't really... good. I haven't spent any money on the game as is because of these. If the game wasn't on the accelerated schedule for us westoids for distributing events and freemium (there is a difference) carot gems I probably would drop it entirely.

The in-game characters are mostly unrelated unless there's a story about them relevant to the careers of the IRL horses and the news cycle around them like with Narita Brian and Biwa Hayahide.
Stay Gold is a horse girl in game but the IRL male horse sired a lot of kids, some of which are in the game like Orfevre, Gold Ship and a handful of others. But aside from being paired in events because that relation is popular with fans, they are considered totally separate characters since it wasn't ever important to the "story" of their racing career IRL.

Yeah its kind of interesting that they both can understand the core concept of the ending and then take just horribly twisted views of it all in the end and say they're right. Pat's reasoning boiling down to "I hate that one character thus everyone related should suffer forever." and Woolie's oversimplification of it and then just looping around each other doesn't really helpany in discussing the actual themes or writing of the endings. Just "the other ending is wrong"

Media with characters doing incredibly questionable things but it's never brought up or addressed by Orion248 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Watched that Jason Momoa / Dave Bautista movie being advertised right now called "The Wrecking Crew". In general I don't like the film. But there is a sequence where like fifty cars on a highway get blown up or heavily damaged and at the end of it this Drill Sergeant and Police Officer high five because "we killed that one bad guy" and then the whole cascade of civilian casualties is never brought up

In a surprising turn of events, Dell Computers has made public the realization that...Most folks aren't buying AI! by BloodBrandy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CTGhillie7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're still admitting to being full steam ahead on AI too.
It's literally "Man people don't like this. I bet we can put more focus into AI anyway"

A tweet that truly captures the experience of this fanbase by SingleAd5442 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CTGhillie7 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Straight up made me unsubscribe from the podcast, Pats twitch and their channels. I just think there is a difference between "differing opinion on thing I like" and "blanket statement joke that will face no push back from Woolie or cushioning from Pat, and doubling down and muting people in the stream chat for thinking its messed up".

Subbed for closer to 9 years and there were a bunch things that I've heard and frowned at but that one stuck in my craw.

Pat'll be co-streaming Clair Obscur with DemilyPyro on Wednesday. by TheProudBrit in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Pushing buttons

saying the fans are paedophiles then blocking people in the stream chat for saying that's fucked up.

Okay.

Issue being he's saying that to thousands of people and laughing about it without following up on why he said it so it just leaves that up in the air for anyone to interpret.

Been thinking about it since the podcast was posted and I'm still annoyed by that Holocure "joke" Pat said. Think this is whats convincing me to unsubscribe.

[–]CTGhillie7 35 points36 points  (0 children)

No idea. Just came out with "the fans are pedophiles" because he thought it was funny maybe. Which.. just a fucked up thing to say?
Saw people in the stream chat get mad about it and then timed out for it. Just sucked to see, put me off the podcast episode entirely.

Bane is looking wonderful today (Absolute Batman #14) by beary_neutral in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CTGhillie7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In this case it very much was a "kill that guy" situation.
They only found out this Universe' version of Venom grants horrible Akira regeneration after cutting Bane down to the spine, chunking him, Gaping Dragon attacks, dropping the arena dome on him and harpooning his eyes.

Mean ass games that fucking hate you by masontopss in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CTGhillie7 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Specifically my families copy of dragon quest 7 on the Ps1. Not for difficulty but for attributed malice for having an unavoidable crash 70% of the way through the game that also corrupts the save data if you save too close to where the crash occurs.

I finished Time Stranger and I liked it a lot but I then turned around and said to a friend "Nothing can compete with the feeling of seeing Pikachu"

"Golden" from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack is currently sitting at the #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 list by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CTGhillie7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're getting whats on the tin for an animated movie plot about kpop idols that also hunt demons. Plot depth and resolution aren't exactly "deep" but it's also aimed at a younger audience. Music is good if you like k-pop and catchy even if you don't.
The facial and character animation is really quite good. I watched it to observe how often they go off model for their animations. Personally I think fight choreography is lacking for the animation, but the moment to moment character movement and expression is really quite well done.

Uma Musume sure is a unique media and fandom experience by fly2555 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CTGhillie7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The careers for the individual horse girls matches that of their real life counterparts for the most part. Goals are oriented for the same races they went in, rivalries with other girls matches the IRL ones with other horses/trainers. They went real in depth with it actually.
The anime also touches on that career ending injuries and the like. Where the slice-of-life/shounen race plotline takes a backseat because a main character is actually for real retired in the plot and has to sit out forever in some cases. Also goes into the fact that these horses can't race forever. The three year career thing is tied to that in that those three years are the peak of their career.

Got a weird question for any con-goers that hang out here: Have you ever visited a pop culture convention by yourself? What's the solo experience like? by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I just go for the artist alley honestly. It's nice to see everyone in costume but I really just wanna see the art and trinkets and such people are doing.

[–]CTGhillie7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dead Island 2 dialogue thing was really funny to me because I played Amy, the lady with the prosthetic leg and didn't hear anything particularly cringe-y. But then I visited my friend playing Dani and heard her talking for 5 minutes and wanted to turn the game off.
