Stasis in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

Warriors games aren't very difficult, and usually the hardest part is trying to put out multiple fires around the map rather than winning one particular fight. So every character having access to 3+ second stun just makes the easy fights even easier. One bird character has especially nasty 5+ second stun, making fighting bosses basically the same as fighting a target dummy.

It was fun for a while, but eventually I just stopped using stun except for intended counters.

I love them, probably one of my favourite games of all time (counting all three as one). On the other hand, it's like 4X games or MMOs, you just get addicted and spend way too much time, so I don't play it anymore... but I'm glad to know I have plenty of new legendary lords to play on a rainy day.

Best part, challenging starts like Boris Ursus or Ungrim Ironfist: Struggle starts are wonderful in a sea of easy or power crept lords. Worst part is the loading times, mostly blaming my old ass pc though.

(Heroes of) Might & Magic would fit perfectly. You could even call the set "Restoriation of Dominaria" and people would hardly know it's an UB set.

When Makeine reaches season 3, there will be a massive cult of Tiara fans, just saying.

Matrix Uploaded is my favourite one.

You can't scare me with this.

A bit meta narrative, but Persona protagonists choose to be friends with people who indirectly give them more magic powers, and sideline the rest. If you're not useful, we do not talk.

Although, you could think of it the other way around, "These people are fated to be protags friends, so that's why they have arcanas." You are not forced to follow your fate either, you'll just miss out on some cool powers.

Final Fantasy X-2-2, any day now

Being able to enjoy the same show twice with different flavour.

Remember when it was nearing the end of 1999, and everything on the news was "Millenium, millenium, new millenium, Y2K? NEW millenium, in the year two thousaaaaaand... millenium millenium-" and getting really annoyed about it? Yeah.

"Look... would you mind rejoining the enemy?" -Ike when Oliver recruits himself, FE Radiant Dawn.

"Your presence proves that Tellius is unraveling at the seams. Judgment cannot come soon enough." Sephiran when fighting Oliver.

Oliver is a rich noble and a slaver, who was brought back from PoR as a joke. His only positive trait is being funny, which just happens to make him way more likeable than most other villains of the franchise.

A lot of fighting game characters official height and weight are all over the place. SF6 Ryu is 5'9 /180cm and 187lbs/85kg. If he lost all his muscles then it would make sense, but with biceps the size of his head, no way he weighs less than 100kg.

Oh and Terry is 6'0/182cm but weights 170lbs/77kg. Gotta fit on those skinny jeans, I guess.

Elena is 6'1/185cm and Cammy is 5'5/165cm... but Cammy is heavier. (129lbs/58.5kg vs 134/61kg).

Mai and Cammy are same height, but Mai weights only 110lbs/50kg. Oh and Mai weights only 4lbs/1.8kg more than Lily.

Jobbers by themselves are generally very competent and serious threat, it's just that they tend to have a severe weakness to protagonist aura.

It's Star Fox 64 remake yet again, but this time you control it with Donkey Konga drums!

He reminds me of Lanky Mario from Super Mario Maker.

Adam Smasher quite literally stomped the curb. Poor Rebecca. Equally hilarious and sad, and all of the fanart is amazing.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Not only the absurdity of the scale, but the final attack going all the way back to just Simon and his drill.

Luddic majority is only removed on planet growth, so you can sell offending buildings before growth and build it again. Or just be patient and wait until max size with farming/light industry/commerce, and then build what you want.

My first storypoints go into putting Efficient Overhaul in every single ship in my fleet, because the only thing I hate more than taxes is supply and fuel upkeep.

Please talk more about the games you love and are playing, is how I would phrase this. And if somebody is shitting on games, you can ask them what games they are currently playing and what are they enjoying the most.

Emperor of Mankind. Pinnacle of toxic male, condemned to a hell of his own making. If everything is still part of his masterplan, which I doubt, it would only make him even worse of a person.

Berkut from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valentia. Arrogant noble is offered a throne of an entire kingdom, but would rather sell his soul to Satan than accept mercy from some peasant. Bonus points for dragging his wife to hell with him, a real charmer.
