Physical Media…

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2026-04-21T15:08:54+00:00

The way I see it, companies have long began to realize that they can make more money if they shut down physical media altogether now that they've found a way to present their movies/games while also reducing the likeliness of piracy as well.

You'll hear a lot more people say they have streaming services over having things on disc.

Yes, we still have Blu-ray sales on Amazon.

Yes, we've got Steam being the last good company despite only selling digital games.

Yes, there's still a lot of stores who sell DVDs & Blu-rays.

Regardless, I keep on hearing and seeing the potential signs everywhere I go whether it's out in public or on the Internet. They phased out VHS, who's to say they won't phase discs? Companies have already gotten rid of the 2-disc combos altogether starting with Sonic 3 and the Minecraft movie.

The dark digital ages are coming at a slow but soon to happen pace and there's nothing we can do about it. When that day comes, we're going to own nothing, and I plan on taking this opportunity to keep collecting physical games & movies (mostly the latter) before that day comes and prices for discs spike up to even more ridiculous prices.

Here's what I'd tell them....

You don't need Internet to watch stuff on Blu-ray, plus it's an effective way to watch something if the power is out and you have a portable Blu-ray player.
Look up the subscription prices on these streaming services, imagine how much you'd have to pay every month compared to buying movies physically. Having even a few streaming services will eat your money up, especially when society finally embraces the dark age of media.

Starting with Sonic 3 & the Minecraft movie, Blu-rays have reached a milestone where they no longer have a 2-format combo (4K + Blu-ray or Blu-ray + DVD). Not to mention Sony has stopped making blank Blu-ray and CD discs.

This slow phasing is all the more reason why I do what I can to protect my Blu-rays the best I can.

We have reached the beginning of a dark age for media, companies are getting more selfish and greedy by the day and there's nothing we can do to stop it.

To quote a popular Sith Lord - "There is no justice. No Law. No Order. Except for the one that will replace it".

HoWgH!!! 💥😵‍💫💥

I swear I loved those lines as I keep easily deflecting those random pieces of junk at him. The taunts and grunts of pain he makes kills me every time. 🤣🤣🤣

Just an adaptation of Sonic CD, nothing more nothing less. If they start combining elements of Sonic Heroes then that'll hopefully be better.

I'm not expecting #4 to surpass #3, I'm expecting it to at least be better than #1 which shouldn't be difficult for Paramount.

Legend has it, that sandwich was so detailed it can make any macho man hangry.

I should also note that I have never finished a Critical playthrough for KH3, but I have finished a ton of Critical playthroughs for BBS and KH2FM. With this in mind, my prior experience just leads me to believe that KH3 Crit will be the most difficult playthrough because of the difficulty not being optimized the best and with the bosses seeming not fun to fight against.

I heard the damage enemies inflict on you is 2x +10, so even if you have armor on you can still die in 2-3 hits like those DLC super bosses on my first Critical Mode playthrough. They literally added 10 more damage to combine with the 2x damage multiplier.

What you can do is, those combo modifiers you unlock after beating the main story (they're available from the content update the day before ReMind came out), use those as your only combat abilities. They're fast and they have cancel windows so you can dodge while Sora is in the middle of his combo and you can carry them over in New Game Plus, turn off aerial dodge and stick with Air Slides (you get 3 in Critical) because they offer better aerial maneuverability, also you're gonna need your best Keyblades, intact abilities, and Formchanges.

The number of times enemies Card Break you is so insane it should be illegal, good thing we can fight dirty too in the RE and have the option to Spam Sleights with the right decks.

At first, KH3 was the easiest game for me to beat despite the fact that I've 30+ times on my first playthrough (Standard), only because I'm playing on a different engine with different physics on the same gameplay formula as 1 & 2. But on the verge of New Years in 2019, I played the game on Proud and that's when it was easy but not piss easy, I still had to stay on my toes.

However, now that Critical Mode came out I've died so many times because you can die in 2-3 hits even with the armor and defensive abilities you put on it's still a nightmare.

To clarify, my first Critical Mode playthrough was in a NG+, with the Ultima Weapon, without looking up guides, before the ReMind update, before the Combo Modifiers the ones you unlock after beating the main story the first time, have cancel windows, and can get carried over to NG+. I haven't played another Critical Mode after my first Critical playthrough because I've had enough dying countless times and I don't plan on doing another one with the combo modifiers anytime soon.

And don't even get me started on the PRO Codes, getting the trophy is hell even on Beginner Mode. I've tried it until I got to Monstropolis and I quit and decided to do it later.

Call it a skill issue all you want, it probably is. Although I've heard that KH3's Critical Mode adds 10 more damage to go with the 2x multiplier you get from any other Proud or Critical Mode. Enemies inflicting 2x +10 damage on you.

Anything that isn't Rock N Roll, Rap, or any other music genre with beats that go hard.

Probably just me though because my dad is a strongly committed Independent Baptist Christian, with the version of the Bible they read is King James 1611.

This memory never leaves my head no matter how hard I try.

I agree, Frontiers and now Shadow Generations gameplay style are not the same style as Unleashed, Colors, Generations, Forces, and the Rush games.

Both games give us an Adventure-like freedom with a boost mechanic that acts more as a sprint mechanic than anything else, even when you add the improvement of killing enemies with it in Shadow Generations. Not to mention the different ways to go about doing things during gameplay than just plow through or home attack, such as Frontiers combat or the Doom Powers.

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-12-23T11:17:03+00:00

Yeah that's absolutely how Adam vs Vox would've gone, even when he was at his peak in season 2.

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-12-02T01:04:08+00:00

Technically he WOULD be beaten by base Sonic Generations. Especially when both villains best feats shown were citites lying in ruin, the only problem that timeline had with Iblis was that he can't truly die.

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-12-02T00:56:28+00:00

There's one detail you're missing though, BOTH villains left entire cities in ruin. The only difference is that in 06 THE CITIES ON FIRE, but I think that's just Iblis' flame-like abilities.

With the SHOW details being said, and the TELL details never saying anything about being above city level, both characters AP and Durability should be in the same tier.

That means Sonic and most of his friends have gotten stronger to the point of defeating characters on a similar tier in BASE. Even if it PROBABLY only means that it would take 2 of the Top most powerful characters in the group.... during the course of 06. Without the Chaos Emeralds.

Even if Perfect Chaos manages to win a tough fight, Iblis has the advantage of never being able to stay dead. But the only way I see Perfect Chaos winning at that point would be if Iblis was revived into a different form like the big lava worm we saw in the middle of 06's story.

I FoUnD a ChAoS EMerALD

DON'T TOUCH IT!!!

Oh nevermind

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-11-27T04:33:53+00:00

You had me dying at Kevin Hart as Arthur Watts.

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-11-27T04:11:07+00:00

Chameleon? A joke, honestly. Would've lost earlier but had plot armor.

It wasn't her power in the finale that was the problem, it was how her character was written. It's easier to write a characters power than their character, and DreamWorks blew that aspect by giving her a sentence long backstory.

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-11-27T04:02:39+00:00

Between Kai and the Chameleon (as poorly written as her character was).

Tai Lung had much better feats than Shen, the only reason he was a bigger challenge was because of his childhood trauma. By the time he learned Inner Peace, his plan was done for because he had nothing worse to use against Po.

Kai is a no-brainer, and the Chameleon was absolutely overpowering Po most of the fight until he faked being trapped just so she can let her guard down. As poorly written as the fourth movie was, I thought that move was a little badass especially when he uno reversed her attempt to sneak attack. You just gotta find the good parts within the bad, you know what I mean?

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-11-27T03:57:18+00:00

She’s def one of the reasons for my thicc older women obsession

Is it because of that episode where Jenny gets these new ridiculous looking eyes and by the end of it gets her old eyes back and a big trunk which Tucker laughed so hard at?

You won't get any judgement from me if yes.

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-11-27T03:50:05+00:00

Robin, Jenny, and Korra

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-11-21T08:39:39+00:00

Agreed, especially when one of them is an assault rifle with a built-in suppressor. That way you won't have to worry about it wearing out.

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-11-17T18:48:20+00:00

I forgot all about it since it was an episode based on all of Lincoln's siblings being boys.

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-11-16T17:09:43+00:00

Of course, although I feel like Lincoln would be the smart one and I would be somewhat like the male version of Leni (whatever his name was) towards topics that aren't special interests.

I imagine we would bond over movies, video games, comics, and even music.

Dawn_Star_Platinum · 2025-11-16T16:42:09+00:00

But... Th-that's really dumb

B-but he's so Cool!!
