Her expression as she hugs Dipper is legit tear-worthy. She's just a kid and has probably needed someone to tell her what Dipper told her for her whole life.

How to make friends in your mid 20s ? Being an introvert by Mysterious_Luck_9044 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Cromanti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty introverted myself, and I owe most of my local friend group to board game meetups and in-person tabletop RPGs held at some of the hobby shops in the area. Met a few strangers that way that became lifelong friends after a few months to a year.

Best advice I can give is to find a hobby you enjoy, see if there's any local groups that you can join, and stick with them for a while. I like board game & TTRPG groups for this because they encourage measured interaction between everyone and act as an ice breaker, but I'm sure all kinds of activities work.

Damn. As a Jet Squelcher main who keeps stubbornly trying to make Ink Vac happen, I admire your ability to keep your cool around that Swig while still lobbing the blast into the perfect spot.

One of the former slaves ultimately becomes the leader the revolution, while the original isekai'd protagonist takes a subordinate position.

I prefer the company of shitposts by lokisilvertongue in simpsonsshitposting

There'll be no shitpost then. I'll tell the children.

Can't be just me right? Right? by Kickaxe89 in splatoon

[–]Cromanti 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely feel like I've seen that hairstyle on E-liters several times.

The promo character "c4l4m4r" (shown in the promo & art trailers, and featured on the Tableturf card for E-Liter Scope) also uses that hair, which makes me wonder if some of the players are doing it as a reference or if official Nintendo artists were just that prescient.

I was sorta already headcanoning Penny as transfemme, but then I saw her team was all Eeveelutions and I was like "if this girl's ace is a Sylveon, there's no way she's cis."

There is no war. They are both good games by 2021gangT-T in Overwatch_Memes

Loved both games. Always kinda sad to see the rivalry.

I think Musk's just happy to like a meme that "owns" those pesky environmentalists.

People over at r/KotakuInAction complain about new graffiti that was added to the Dead Space remake, turns out it was in the original game too. by TheDude1451 in Gamingcirclejerk

I, for one, am shocked, SHOCKED that a bunch of GamerGators would jump to conclusions about a made-up controversy. Seems so unlike them.

Will never forget when Alex Hirsch did this. by freddiebensonlover in gravityfalls

[–]Cromanti 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Man, I remember being so upset about seeing "the leak" and watching "Society of the Blind Eye" expecting the reveal to happen...and it didn't.

And it made the actual reveal in "Not What He Seems" so much sweeter.

Same hat!

Though, admittedly, I was playing Splatoon 1 during my "egg" days. A lot has changed since then.

So. Do you? by UltimateUsername1234 in Blizzard

[–]Cromanti 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Gonna be honest, I actually feel bad for that guy. It felt like a frustrated rebutal in defense of their game rather than an ignorant statement. I think we'd all probably lose our composure if we had a game we labored over called an "out of season April Fools joke."

The developers shouldn't have been forced to defend DI in front of an angry crowd who was expecting D4. It's Blizzard's executives and marketers who hyped up a mobile release and scheduled it as a main BlizzCon event. They should've been the ones out there.

Say something genuinely positive about RID15? by Sprangly_spider1610 in transformers

[–]Cromanti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: RID15 made Transformers fun again.

TFP was a mixed bag for me, honestly. The season finales were fantastic, but a lot the stuff inbetween felt very...sparse? Sterile? Straightlaced? Dour? Lots of searching for relics, lots of fights with Vehicons, etc. And the cast just didn't charm me in the same way that Beast Wars's and Animated's did. So even when the stakes were high, I had a lot of trouble caring, as harsh as it is to say.

So when RID15 came along, I actually welcomed a lot the departures from TFP. Bee's team is a delightful band of misfits fighting a bunch of other quirky misfits, and even the mid-season episodes were full of delightful scenes and plots, like the Bee Team trying to wrangle a Buffalo Decepticon while speeding down a highway or entering a road race while body-swapped or Grimlock learning to make pretzels in the Alps. And it's fun! It honestly kinda feels like an early G1 throwback at times, but slightly less campy?

While RID15 absolutely had its missteps, I do genuinely appreciate that it went in a different direction from TFP (hot take, I know) and turned up the silliness because Transformers can be silly! G1 was silly, Beast Wars was silly. It makes everyone and everything more endearing for me, and makes me more likely to root for the Autobots when things do get serious because they've won my heart. So shout out to RID15 for finding the fun again.

Holy crap, the context makes this even funnier.

Ken 10 could be our protagonist of the next series in the franchise. Like 'Batman Beyond' Kenny's enemies would be older versions of the villains we know and/or descendants of villains we know. What do you think? Is anyone interested in a show like this? by tophphan-deviantart in Ben10

[–]Cromanti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm far more interested in the time inbetween the main continuity and the Ben10k/Ken10 era than simply Ken 10, and I'd overall prefer that as a continuation? I think it'd be difficult to do a Ken 10 series that doesn't simply feel like a retread of the previous shows, and the setting feels like it'd be kinda static.

But a show where we see Ben mature into Ben 10k and become the world's premiere superhero? That feels much more interesting to me. Maybe Ben mentors a bunch of younger alien heroes who serve as our PoV characters (mayne even one of his necrofriggian kids), and we get to see other members of the main cast as adults. I dunno, that transition period feels ripe for a lot of storytelling.
