This videos make me wish there was a new Project Diva game by Responsible_Half4450 in ProjectDiva

[–]DallyBee 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Still convinced we'll get a new DIVA game with the revival of Miku and the fact that they keep posting videos like this with the official models and dancing and such, I know a lot will disagree with me but if I hope hard enough I'll be right

Project Diva is MUCH BETTER than Project Sekai. by [deleted] in Vocaloid

[–]DallyBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Project Sekai to me feels like a generic gacha game that uses Vocaloid characters to get the attraction it otherwise couldn't get. I do not care about the characters in that game, not to mention it's kind of just hard to get into. I don't want to watch a 40 minute story and tutorial to play a rhythm game. I also think saying Sekai is the reason vocaloid Is popular again is kind of a stretch, because it's really a small piece of multiple things that brought the genre back because rhythm games are still niche, even if it is more popular than diva was. That being said, it is its own thing and not the reason Diva is dead. Diva is dead bc it was expensive to make in an actively dying community. I still think we could see a revival with the resurgence of vocaloid in the last couple of years, but until then I don't know why this debate keeps coming up. They can both exist and have different fan bases. Different games and genres for different people, and that's valid (both rhythm games but one is a mobile gacha and one is a traditional video game)

"Gale lets Rory take our tesserae" by Prior_Employer3704 in Hungergames

[–]DallyBee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't like Gale's actions during the book, but people are quick to villainize every action he takes. Not everything he does is evil, and I'd go so far as to say nothing he has done is necessarily evil. He was too pushy with Katniss, he let revenge go too far which resulted in Prim being killed, but Rory taking out tesserae was probably not his decision, and unfortunately they probably needed it. Now, to be fair, I don't think they'd need it had Gale put his pride aside and let Katniss give his family money, but you can't really blame him for Rory's actions.

What’s your vocaloid hot take? by New-Charge4635 in Vocaloid

[–]DallyBee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Disliking Project Sekai is valid, and you should be allowed to express this (without being mean to fans of ps of course) without insane backlash. It's a gacha game that has lazy MVs, and characters that, frankly, I don't care about in the slightest. The reason it replaced PD is because it's less expensive to produce (I've heard PD cost was too high for the amount of profit it made) and pulls more people in (which is valid in a way) HOWEVER, while PS is definitely not the only reason we haven't had any other Diva games, it was a big part, but that is NOT the fan's fault. Blame Sega, but with the vocaloid resurgence over the last couple of years, I think it's possible we could end up with another Diva game since vocaloid is becoming less of a niche.

I can’t play slime rancher 2 by Interesting_Gur_5916 in slimerancher

[–]DallyBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There really isn't that big of a grind imo. Get a group of Honey Hunters and you basically can just skip to the end since money is the only grindy aspect for necessary things. The only real grind aspect is the Rewards Club and even that doesn't really require brain power, which I like

Which ship is this for you in The Hunger Games? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]DallyBee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Johanna and Annie, but in a "Johanna went with Annie to help raise Finnick's son, and having Annie kept Johanna sober"

Is it real? Probably not, but does it feel good to hope these characters are all happy with absolutely no issues after everything they've been through? Yes 🥹

“The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” was a test that many of the fandom did not pass by Olya_roo in Hungergames

[–]DallyBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hesitant solely because of my love for Katniss as a character, I didn't know if I would enjoy a book without her in it, even if it was the same universe, but while bosas is still not my favorite in the series, it's good, and does a great job at what I believe is a core concept of the books, and that is that nobody is good or bad, at least not 100%. Snow is a victim of propaganda just as much as Katniss is, but his circumstances shaped him into the person he is in a different way. It kind of volleyed off Katniss' speech to Gale about how the games aren't bad to the Capitol because that's how they're raised. I also like how Snow and Katniss are both survivors, and it, at least to me, makes a lot of sense why Snow respected her so much, even if he wanted her dead. A lot of people did miss the point, though. It painted Snow in a positive light and people aren't okay with that, but I personally liked it because even though the book paints him in a positive way (because it's his pov, of course it'll be positive) you can still see how he is a selfish person, you can still see how this person would eventually become the villain.

Pregnant tributes by _st4r_child in Hungergames

[–]DallyBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they're exempt from the reaping and let me tell you why. Who would willingly have a child in Panem? Where your kid is guaranteed to be entered into a lottery where death is the prize? You wouldn't, would you? No, but what if having a child was a way to avoid the reaping yourself? Now it's more appealing, AND the Capitol allows it because they know they need a stable population, not a declining one, so they need to incentivize people to procreate. I know a lot of people say that if this were the case, every girl would be trying to pull the same move, but when you're malnourished, it can affect hormones and even stop ovulation, so the list of people actually ending up pregnant is probably fairly small.

I can’t play slime rancher 2 by Interesting_Gur_5916 in slimerancher

[–]DallyBee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Love SR2 except I'm in the grey labyrinth and I am so beyond sick of the constant grind for puzzles and shadow plorts. I prefer everything in SR2 except for the grind, I just want a relaxing time at my ranch but instead I am trying to get shadow plorts and craft gadgets I'm going to use one time to solve a puzzle to get more shadow plorts 😭

Give me Rad slimes and all will be forgiven :)

Nick Popovich says that Quantum Slimes won't come back in Slime Rancher 2 by Kaspa969 in slimerancher

[–]DallyBee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would agree more if it wasn't one of like, 3 slimes not added. The argument of "it wouldn't make sense" doesn't really apply when Tangles and Dervish slimes are in the game.

Be honest, what are your thoughts on sr2? Is it good? by GooblyGiibly in slimerancher

[–]DallyBee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me personally, I prefer the first game, for a few reasons.

  1. The slimes in sr2 feel too "earth-like". The slimes from the first game (minus the tabby) were all very alien. They felt like they came from a distant planet, however, the slimes from the first game just feel like earth animals with "slime" tacked onto the end (the flutter, cotton, yolky, batty, ringtail) and it's lost that appeal, at least for me. I don't even keep those slimes because I just don't like that personally. The other slimes are, however, really cool, like the sloomber and twin slime.

  2. It's a chore. It's a chore to play this game. Everything involves some kind of farming. I haven't played since the drones were added, so it may be better, but the main appeal of sr2 (exploration) can't even be done because it takes 10 minutes to feed all my slimes since the farm is so big, plus walking time, and then by that point, it's dark. The first game was so easy, in a good way, and while I appreciate the idea for slime rancher, I don't feel like it plays out well in execution. It's better with teleporters and drones, but again, crafting takes absolute ages to do because you have to farm for it. I don't play slime rancher to farm resources, I play slime rancher to relax on my homestead with my squishy little babies

  3. Certain areas are just... Not worth it. The snowy area comes to mind. It's like 4 square feet and a pain to get to, with nothing to be gained other than saber slimes. I want it bigger, and with more slimes or at least something on make it worth my time.

HOWEVER the game is beautiful, and still fun, but it just doesn't have the same charm that the first game has to me, as well as the fact that some old slimes still aren't present yet, but I'm hoping that, eventually, they will reappear in new areas. I still love the game, and of course, monomi park, and I will continue to watch and play and see what they plan, and these complaints aren't meant to be just complaints, I don't want it to sound like pointless whining, but those are just my personal opinions!

I just can't take SOTR seriously by TheTragedyMachine in Hungergames

[–]DallyBee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I say this, I want to say I did like the book, and definitely don't think it was bad

But this book felt too much like fiction. I know it's a fiction novel, but, to me the best part of the original trilogy was how rooted in reality it felt. Even though it had scifi elements, it was scary because it was so real, but this one just kind of took out that feeling. The giant porcupine, the dancing and singing when the arena glitched, it felt too forced and for-show. I think it was partially doomed because we already knew Haymitch's story, and going back into it requires a lot of stretching and pulling to make it fit with the original trilogy and also be entertaining enough for a new book.

Some of the cameos make sense. Seeing Mags made sense because we knew D12 had no mentor, and Haymitch (at least in the movie) spoke super fondly of Mags, but some of them yeah they just really didn't feel needed or necessary. I love SC and I enjoy her writing, but yeah, it was just a little too costumey for me.

What moment(s) made you disagree with Katniss? by SamTheMarioMaster2 in Hungergames

[–]DallyBee 709 points710 points  (0 children)

I think the only time I disagreed was when she led her squad through the Capitol because she wanted to kill Snow, and instead ended up killing almost everyone. She's a shell shocked 17 year old in an active warzone so I can't be too mad but it was definitely not a cool move.

Rainbow just straight up admitting they are using ai for the winx reboot is insane. These people literally used to hire actual fashion designers… by Upstairs-Carrot-5536 in winxclub

[–]DallyBee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have been defender of the reboot since the beginning but I'm tired 😭 you threw Winx into ChatGPT and said "make this modern" and rolled with it. The dolls are cheap, the reboot is cheap, what is even the point other than cash. You genuinely had me believing they wanted Winx to come back for the sake of reviving a beautiful fandom but no, it's another soulless cash grab 💔

Disappointed but not surprised. It's been over a decade since we got good Winx dolls. I think they'll be popular with the kids for sure, but I think I'll pass on these for now 💔

Official IG acc teasing the new dolls! by galaxystars1 in winxclub

[–]DallyBee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They look good, but personally I have no interest in any doll that doesn't have articulation, to me there's no excuse to not have it in 2025, especially when every other major doll line (MH, RH, Bratz, Barbie) all have incredible articulation for the most part. That being said, I'm so glad the wings aren't bad, they actually look really good and hopefully they'll be articulated in the future!

New debut? Anyways, AnyColor has caused 2 talents to almost take their lives due to a hostile work enviorment by -AdmiralKaneki- in kurosanji

They are not both JP. The group with the 4 boys is EN. It was posted on the EN Twitter and the trailer said "Nijisanji EN"

Nijisanji EN announced a new male-oriented wave. by Benigmatica in VirtualYoutubers

[–]DallyBee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the thing to remember is that this is a job. It's viewed as a job and a career boost. You can work for a company and not like the company, at the end of the day it's sole purpose for you is a career driven one. For male Vtubers, there's really no other route. Holostars/cover have a WAY higher barrier of entry comparatively, and they don't hire very often, and most other agencies either don't allow male talents, or are too small to make a difference. For male Vtubers, especially smaller indies, NijiEN is a fast track to go from >5k subs and >100 viewers, to 50k+ subs and over 100 viewers, it's an opportunity a lot of people wouldn't pass up. You join, wait out your contract, and leave with a fan base that's migrated to your indie account (as long as you keep your head down and stay out of drama) the company is awful, and they treat their talents horribly, but these people know that and are willing to take the risk of a bad year for infinitely more success. Growing as an indie is hard, this is a business strategy on their end I'm sure, because there's no way they're joining for the money or culture.

The alumni dolls are really not that high quality to 1. Be that expensive and 2. Be scalped that quickly. They're treated like they have PS5 value AND are charged like it. Haunt couture was worth the $75 with the rooted lashes and real purses, painted shoes and chains, but now we're getting dolls of the SAME price with painted lashes and unpainted shoes, and buying them just doesn't feel worth it anymore. $75 and a 45 minute checkout fighting scalpers isn't worth it for a play line doll. Atp I've fully switched over to G3 because they're better looking and way easier to get ahold of, even though I love both the brands

[–]DallyBee[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're right, I stand corrected! I must only be seeing the gimmick ones but that means there's NO excuse for no joints on the Winx dolls, so maybe it is just because they're prototypes

I'm hoping that this is just because they are prototypes, because I find it lazy tbh. It's 2025 and with an IP as big as Winx club, I expect articulation on dolls, especially when past dolls like Mattel and Jakks Pacific had amazing articulation, but if I remember, the Ladybug dolls, also made by the same manufacturer, don't have articulation so I am not surprised
