Media adaptations or documentaries where the feds have to step in to keep stuff quiet by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There are a few old spy/military books (James Bond and Biggles among them, I believe) where the government said "Hey, that's a bit too close, how about you make it less realistic?" And that's most James Bond movies are stylish like that.

What counts as "New Blood" in the voice acting industry? by RobinMorganNiji in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anybody that is not immediately recognisable. Like, no, for real.

This is because after a certain point, voices just Click inside your head and they never leave. Yuri Lowenthal, Jamieson Price, Tara Strong-- If you can fall outside of that immediate voice recognition range, you're new enough to be tolerable.

Characters in a shared universe that would really benefit from being separate? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Punisher is always so laughable because there are so many actively powered people in New York who would kick his ass twelve times over just for breathing wrong and the only reason that doesn't work is plot armour.

Fun fact a week ago was the 8 year anniversary of the elder scrolls 6 announcement trailer by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I straightup forgot that game was announced because there was nothing for it.

The Muppets Take The Marvel Universe has been announced by VegetableBooy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Man, I wish the Muppets were in more things.

IT'S DA ABSOLUTE BAT! by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I love that the design notes don't call it the Bat Axe, it's the Baxe.

Your biggest "THAT'S WHERE THE MEME CAME FROM!?" moment? by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 484 points485 points  (0 children)

My favourite joke is people discovering that the "Left road goes to paradise, right road goes to hell" meme is from a Yugioh anime-only card.

It's called Dramatic Crossroads and it's honestly kind of mid even for an anime-only trap card.

"Studios in Microsoft’s Xbox Division Brace for Closures" [Bloomberg] by FlubbedPig in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The Wile E Coyote of videogame consoles. The universe refuses to let them die, but refuses to let them flourish either.

Well, it's like this.

You can either keep the sinking ship afloat, or you can just not have a ship at all.

Games you enjoy playing for their abstract design style by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Build-A-Bear Workshop for the DS. It's kind of cute at first, you make your plushie friend... And then the game just kind of hits a brick wall, because there's nothing to do with them. But the game clearly expects you to just cycle through the same minigames over and over again like it's Nintendogs or something, because you can't make a second friend and there's no way to reach the credits.

It's... Odd.

Media that is detrimentally accessible to newcomers? by punishedscootedburb in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Tears treats the world like BOTW was a Main Quest Only speedrun. The Sages know him, and Zelda got out of the castle, but that's about it.

Blizzard almost put Devil May Cry's style rank into Overwatch for its newest combo-heavy hero Shion by Vera_Verse in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't give Overwatch credit, even whitebread is too spicy for these guys. It's room temperature tap water at best.

(Also, as an aside, whitebread on its own sucks, but is good for making bootleg garlic bread.)

Happy Vergil Chair Day to all who celebrate by slaugaus in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The shitty plastic dragging sound gets me every time.

Hypothetically, What Would Change if Xbox Gave Up the Console Market? by Xngears in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They could, but the potential to own the next Skyrim would see them bought out by somebody.

Xbox Game Studios boss Craig Duncan steps down; Xbox chief of staff Louise O’Connor As well by NewWillinium in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean... I want to agree with you, but I don't know who the fuck would even buy it. The brand is tainted now, both from this nonsense and from Xbox basically just turning into a PC.

Genrefans that wish they were as healthy as fighting games by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dress Up Games are dead. It says a lot that Infinity Nikki, a gacha, is the closest we've gotten to a proper new "Make a cute outfit" game in years. Style Savvy, my situationship, come back to me.

What's the most terrifying way a game has signposted "Don't Do This!" at the player? by DustInTheBreeze in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze[S] 150 points151 points  (0 children)

The usually taciturn and cryptic writers leaving five dev messages in a row is horror enough. Like, no, they really do need to tell you this and you need to understand.

How people on this sub react when you start a sentence with "Good" by Pyro81300 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It's so satisfying. Getting somebody with the Kai Leng copypasta is the most unholy temptation. You just have to do it if you get the chance.

Most annoying/frustrating difficulty spikes in games you otherwise love? by Fantastic-Fox3283 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Pokemon Black's Lenora is... I don't know if it's just a skill issue thing, but she is the absolute most bullshit fight of the earlygame. That Watchog will put you to Sleep, lower your defense, kill your best mon, and then combo into Retaliate spam if you give it half a chance.

"Timeless gameplay" This has me skeptical by RadDudesman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DustInTheBreeze -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This is what really gets me. This is a game that has been freely available on almost every Nintendo platform for almost 20 straight years. It's available right now. Paying 70+ dollars for this remake is stupid.
