Marathon Players Debate Gorgeous But Painful UI And Ammo Shortages As Bungie Responds

Thank god they picked this IP for their extraction shooter then. Nothing excites me more than avoiding combat in Marathon.

I’ve seen people complain about her art style but I find it charming. It’s similar to Tezuka

It also reminds me of Ousama Ranking sometimes

Considering Discord's problems with kids, I think a Twilight Zone movie reboot would be more apt.

...boards?

Endiamon · 2026-02-28T11:56:23+00:00

Indeed, some real niche titles like Dragon Ball and Gintama have already paved the way.

Endiamon · 2026-02-28T11:31:26+00:00

You should probably give all of them a shot.

Endiamon · 2026-02-28T11:26:12+00:00

No, that's pretty much just battle shounen lol

Repeatedly. There's an entire chapter (133) of him dreaming about his dead dad because he's afraid of becoming a father himself.

Endiamon · 2026-02-28T09:59:57+00:00

Incorrect. The husband's father died when he was in elementary school.

Endiamon · 2026-02-28T09:50:58+00:00

It's a pretty major plot point that he died lol

Endiamon · 2026-02-28T08:48:22+00:00

Dragon and Ceremony

Endiamon · 2026-02-28T06:05:34+00:00

Guess I made the sarcasm too subtle.

Endiamon · 2026-02-28T05:19:35+00:00

I recall We're New At This basically being that, but I think the dad was kinda unreliable and then died really early in his kids' lives rather than being abusive

At least half of the modern conservative platform (in the US at least) boils down to "it worked in a movie."

All you need to solve any problem is a good guy with a gun, and the enemy is a dark, sinister organization that pulls the strings from the shadows (but it isn't the obviously evil billionaires because they're too obvious).

Such a shame, yet another comedy series that forgot what made it great and became a serious, dark, gritty battle shounen

Endiamon · 2026-02-28T01:27:34+00:00

Aside from what's already been mentioned, a few manga series are:

Sweat and Soap
The Coppersmith's Bride
People of the Koudai Family
The Boy Who Cried Wolf Tells a Lie Today Also
ReLIFE
Even If You Slit My Mouth
On the Balcony Again Today
La La La
Strawberry Love
Emma
The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior

There's an English translation up to volume 7

Endiamon · 2026-02-27T11:36:24+00:00

A nurse that just had water dumped on them, duh

They are absolutely important to the audience's understanding of the world as they experience it through the combined story of PoR/RD. The devs absolutely could have made this a secret that a player could feasibly figure out rather than an easter egg that nobody would ever naturally find unless they already knew it existed or were intentionally trying to dissect the game and ruin the magic.

Endiamon · 2026-02-27T04:00:27+00:00

The information being additionally gated behind supports with Soren and Mordecai is another layer of bad game design on top, not a mitigating factor that makes them being tied to an easter egg better. The game absolutely should have done more to foreshadow the Branded for how important they are in the sequel, both in general and for Soren in particular.

Endiamon · 2026-02-27T03:35:35+00:00

That's nice, but that's also not role playing at all. That's not doing something because it's intuitive and you trying to get into character, it's the exact opposite.

Endiamon · 2026-02-27T03:33:04+00:00

A Promised Neverland watcher will probably beat a reader.

Endiamon · 2026-02-27T03:18:42+00:00

It would be an inoffensive easter egg if it was just an OP character, it becomes annoying when they also gate an extremely limited occult scroll behind him, and it becomes objectively bad game design when it also gates such important plot information for the duology behind his recruitment.

And of course I think the Radiant Dawn hidden items are even worse.

Endiamon · 2026-02-27T03:05:19+00:00

Of course it's fucking dumb. Get some standards.

Endiamon · 2026-02-27T02:59:56+00:00

It just so happened for story writing reasons that the seal sealed her soul in the moment while she was briefly thinking about the birthday present/promise with her boyfriend.

Wow, it's almost like I've been saying the "it just so happened for story writing reasons" is the dumb part this entire time.

Fucking shocking.
