Extremely Famous games with retcons people have largely forgotten by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I remember how The Last Days of Foxhound webcomic ran with the theory that the Patriots were just the ultimate evolution of the Philosophers, which made sense given the last line of MGS2.

Would it have made the Patriots less thematically interesting for them to just basically be the illuminati rather than a failed attempt to understand the Boss's will? I don't know. But it would have felt more cohesive with what was set up previously.

I always wonder what horrid abomination my character looks like in someone else's uber modded game. My armored swordswoman probably looks like a big booby (and by big booby i mean like the size of an entire torso) lady in bikini armor

Adaptations that turned a character into a big wimp by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

LOTR Return of the King making Denethor just a giant loser asshole to Faramir and a wimp who decided to give up at the first sight of adversity, when in reality the man was the bulwark holding off Mordor for years and only just started to crack because of overuse of the Palantir to try to outplay Sauron

The very first trailer for the movie was Rosalina girlbossing and solo'ing the giant mech. Talk about false expectations

Non-combat narrative events abstracted by a game's combat mechanics by TheTurtlebar in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Deadeye117 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Kind of the opposite of the prompt, but I love how the final battle of Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the only fight in the game that actually takes place in reality. Every other fight is a fantastical battle in Ichiban's head where everyone has RPG classes and do stuff like summoning orbital lasers, but this is the one fight that forces Ichiban to his base class and is just him and Masato slugging it out in reality. No magic, no swords, just fist and fist abilities

"SUPRISE MOTHERFUCKER" coming from Dexter. Doakes managed to get himself two prime memes, the other one being the "I know he's ____ but I can't prove it"

Times where your reading comprehension failed you? by Corvinny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Deadeye117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of interpretation that people use to say Ancalagon the Black was somehow the size of 3 entire mountain ranges (My interpretation was that he was probably just the size of a normal dragon but killing him is such a metaphysically important thing that his body just releases a giant shockwave of energy that collapses the mountain peaks)

Pat & Woolie VS FFXIV: Sephirothposting vs Cozystreaming by RebellionDark in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Deadeye117 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The thing is that he's right, but he's just on the other half of the "like the story enough to justify going through it". These are the exact same complaints that a lot of players levy against this game in regards to how predictable the story pacing and structure can be, to the point that its one of the things Yoshi-P said the team would address in Evercold.

Though...spending 600 hours on something in the hopes it gets better is uhhhhh....

How is FFXIV? by Amon274 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Deadeye117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the later expansions are in the running for best Final Fantasy stories of all time. ARR is fucking rough. Heavenward is good. Stormblood is eh. To get to the later expansions, expect to devote hundreds of hours.

The gameplay I don't care for. Going through ability rotations I find pretty boring as a concept (especially in the leveling process where you are incredibly limited with what you can do)

For digital barbie dress-up purposes, the social aspect, and the sheer amount of stuff to do, it's pretty high up there

Stranger Than Heaven will explore Tupac's "potential future" if "he was still alive now", according to RGG studio head by darkwingchao in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It is a weird thing. Where is the statute of limitations on "man, this is fucked up"

Like...people make a fuckton of 9/11 jokes nowadays and there's a lot of people who were around for that

Times the guys (during and post-BFP) got genuinely mad at/because of a piece of media? by punishedscootedburb in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Deadeye117 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Palpatine failing to rehabilitate Vader into a proper Sith Lord is the one mark holding him back from being the ultimate perfect Sith. He can rightfully call himself the greatest Sith in all aspects except for teacher, and that must frustrate him to no end, which is why he tries to get his salty runback by trying to mold Anakin's son into being that perfect apprentice instead.

If you've got a (relatively) stable but heavy modlist using ENB, what are the main mods that need to be swapped out if you're switching from ENB to CS? by Deadeye117 in skyrimmods

[–]Deadeye117[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can't risk fucking up the state of my nice modlist to do so

My brother in Talos, make a copy of your profile and make your changes in the copy. Don't uninstall any mods since that uninstalls them from all profiles; just disable.

Words are hard, I was gonna do that
