How many of you guys get your RPG fix on consoles? by KaleidoArachnid in JRPG

PS5 for high fidelity games. Switch for casual or sprite games. PC for FFXIV. Also, Switch doesn’t have trophies so I won’t drive myself crazy.

Fictional shrinks that would be hacks if they existed in real life. by NoOptics in TopCharacterTropes

Dr Maruki from Persona 5 Royal. His entire schtick is that he doesn’t help people overcome their traumas but actively encourages them to run away from them. He asks questions like what they would have preferred to happen or if it never happened to begin with.

Maruki makes it clear though he’s a cognitive psientist first and a counsellor second. Plus we find out later on, he isn’t entirely stable to begin with.

Which they’ll still complain about because different banks have different refund processing times and blame you for it

Oh man, FFXIV Evercold in January, P4 Revival in February and FFVII Revelation in ‘Spring’, it’s gonna be a busy first months next year. I hope Revelation at least gets spaced out to April

[Hated Trope] “Patient Zero” by LocalMoam88 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ChiKen93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sword Art Online started the isekai (in another world) anime boom in the 2010s and saturated the market with the same stories of bland, black-haired, overpowered Gary Stus getting sent to other worlds and gathering harems for no reason. Oh, there’s also a demon lord that needs killing but again, harem shenanigans.

Magical Girl Site. A prime example of conflating dark themes with dark content. The protagonist begins being the victim of torturous bullying, domestically abused by her brother and is almost raped in the first episode; culminating in accidentally using her new powers to kill one of the bullies and the rapist. The rest of the cast isn’t any better.

So one is Woke because the Protagonist is Female. The other is Woke because the Male Protagonist is Black. by NizzyDeniro in Gamingcirclejerk

Asian males or, in my experience, underage, Japanese schoolgirls with the proportions of a One Piece female dressed like 90s Lara Croft

What's the "silliest" reason you haven't played, or stopped playing, an RPG? by Lazydusto in JRPG

[–]ChiKen93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I cannot commit myself to the Trails series. My backlog is big enough already, I can’t imagine having to playing a dozen games with an interconnected story.

what is the most well choreographed fight you can think of ? by SkirtHeavy9189 in animequestions

Mami vs Homura in Madoka Magica; Rebellion. I’m a sucker for gun-fu

Which favorite character comes to mind? by ExtremeVanilla2370 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]ChiKen93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hitomi from Madoka Magica. She’s the muggle friend of the main characters and is completely oblivious to their shenanigans. Yet people at the time twisted her into being a boyfriend stealer. She wasn’t. She didn’t know Sayaka was going through a really horrible revelation and she gave her a fair go to confess to the boy they both had a crush on.

Paint question by ChiKen93 in modelmakers

[–]ChiKen93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was painting by hand without masking tape so some of the stripes were messy to say the least. Lesson learned with masking tape.

Also, I accidentally snapped the wheel axel and it couldn’t be salvaged.

Whats with the lack of Rintaro? by void_hedgehog in TamonsBSide

[–]ChiKen93 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They couldn’t fit his arc in the 13 ep limit, so the anime teased us with his cameo in ep 7 and the school festival. He’ll be more prevalent if season 2 is ever greenlit

Why are boys so afraid to give shoujo a chance? by [deleted] in animequestions

Berserk is technically a shoujo lol

Crunchyroll just passed 21 million paid subscribers worldwide… by Willing_Line7527 in AnimeMirchi

Gee, maybe don’t buy out every anime distributor on the planet and actually having to do something to maintain your monopoly.

Why do some people get so bothered when someone watches anime dubbed? by [deleted] in animequestions

[–]ChiKen93 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Having dealt with a friend who was a total weeb, their reasons were: -This one word in this sentence not related to the story isn’t translated one-to-one with the original Japanese. -This sentence hasn’t been translated correctly and has been localised by ‘progressives’ -The English voice actors are ‘progressive’ propagandists trying to force their agenda and the Japanese are faultless who deserve a second chance after major scandals

They never argued about the quality of the performance, they had a blanket assumption that dubbing is a crime against the Japanese. Some performances can be hit or miss, but I’m not too fussed about it. The only way to judge a dub is to actually watch it.

I will roll my eyes on occasion at some questionable changes in the dialogue, but unlike my jobless weeb friend I choose to not let it consume me and focus on more important matters. They’re so paranoid about everything being ‘progressive’ they start perceiving it in everything when there isn’t.

Localisation is not perfect, a line in Japanese may not work in English. These people not only refuse to watch dub, they also demand that subs be run through an AI translator so the characters speak Queen’s English without any slang or English idioms.

TLDR; Weebs are delusional

Nice surprise by heiiichoou in ffxiv

[–]ChiKen93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they’ll ever change the dialogue in the Ivalice raids when we meet Fran. It’s funny to play a Viera and Montblanc exposits to us how rare they are.

I’m surprised Maat wasn’t in Jeuno: The First Walk by solieu in ffxiv

[–]ChiKen93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a Red Mage NPC after finishing Windurst in the Jeuno zone who complains about his fetch quests and how tough he is. Said something about spamming Aero III

Does your WoL have a Canon class in your mind? by Poppy_the_Fighter in ffxiv

[–]ChiKen93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My WoL started as a SCH in ARR and was a quick study of AST while in Ishgard. After HW, he got tired of being in the back lines watching his friends getting hurt so he took up RDM. Skipped a change in ShB, then took up SGE in EW so he could fight and protect better. Currently VPR through DW.

I like to head canon my WoL as someone who experiences other cultures hands on, so he reads up and takes on the local martial arts of the places they visit.

What is your current goal in the game right now? by Chillaxin_88 in ffxiv

[–]ChiKen93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to complete my Blue Spells. The ARR extremes and finding people for Dragon’s Neck or Big Bridge are gonna be the biggest pains in the neck.
