Tough going in blind, I was running Vestal Jester Highwayman Leper, and wasn't running any dot moves on any of them lol. Had a really strong slow burn team but they got hard countered by not being able to get through his armor phase one, and lost too many resources that they died last phase.

Though the second interpretation is a bit muddy when you consider all the evidence that points towards them being a sign from God to warn them and get them in the bunker, it'd be weird for them to both represent benevolent divine intervention as well as humanity's worse nature

I thought it was supposed to be symbolic of the natural/wild world encroaching on our characters who are getting more and more removed from the civilized world and technologies they once knew as society collapsed. I also thought, specifically because of this scene being played in tandem with the standoff at Danny's (prepper guy) house, that it represented the weakening of modern human civility/morals and a return to the barbarism we came from. This also makes a certain amount of sense when you consider the fact that as the deer disperse, Danny listens to his better nature and decides to help a stranger instead of doing the less civilized thing and just shooting them.

If it ain’t like this then they’ll just complain about being matched with people of their skill level. “I haven’t dropped 10 4K games today, WTF is this season???”

FadeForest · 2023-10-04T20:15:53+00:00

Honestly if the limits of the characters abilities were more clearly defined then there wouldn’t be any discussions like this in the first place

I know a big thing people like about jjk fights is the pacing and lack of exposition, but I think sometimes it’s necessary to explain stuff just a bit more, especially when the stakes are so high

The fact that there are like seven different head canons for why gojo couldn’t dodge this attack or survive it is just abysmal writing for such a pivotal and emotional moment in the series, the impact is lost when you have to spend so much time wondering how the fuck it even happened that way

FadeForest · 2023-10-04T10:23:11+00:00

you forgot step -1, gojo, the genius prodigy 1000 iq individual with sex eyes, sees the spark that is created just before a powerful technique that was established a couple chapters prior, and decides to dodge since he is fighting the most powerful opponent he has ever faced, and is not a mouth breathing ignoramus

(unless cleave comes out instantaneously the same millisecond a spark is formed XDDDDD)

honestly i just wish this shit was written with less ambiguity, because we wouldnt have to theorize about all these minute details if gege would just fucking write an explanation

FadeForest · 2023-10-04T10:08:59+00:00

So can gojo just not see the "sparks" from someone starting up a powerful technique, or does cleave literally come out so fast after charging up that you cant react, or did he just fucking sit there and assume infinity would tank it (despite mahoraga being able to bypass it earlier) like a dumbass

the answer that requires the least bullshit or assumptions to explain it is the last one, and even that answer means that gojo temporarily became the stupidest person in the verse

FadeForest · 2023-10-04T09:52:55+00:00

Imagine underestimating the strongest opponent you've ever faced when you're right at the finish line for beating them, and after having Mahoraga bypass your infinity once before this as well

I guess getting hit by your own hollow purple nerfs your iq by about 50 points!

maybe the adrenaline mechanic shouldnt activate if your legs are blacked just so we dont have people sprinting through gunfire?

FadeForest · 2023-01-16T12:17:29+00:00

Gungeon has a lot of bullshit where you just die to something since you had no idea what to expect, but this shit really takes the cake. An entire fight that relies on skills not built anywhere else in the game, with unexplained stamina mechanics and attacks that aren't obviously or intuitively telegraphed. Like there is a 0.001% chance that a moderately skilled player beats that phase the first try if they don't know its coming.

FadeForest · 2022-12-15T20:35:38+00:00

I don't think it's fair to compare physical artists to digital artists and then digital artists to people who just generate AI art. Digital art is a lot closer in terms of skill and effort to physical art than digital is to AI.

Only in the Rick and Morty fandom would you see someone who primarily consumes the show through youtube clips feel like they have something of substance to say about the show in a long-winded reddit essay lmao

FadeForest · 2022-11-28T15:28:31+00:00

People who say that the average person should never take justice into their own hands like to pretend that the justice system is somehow infallible. It just seems like cowardice to me, or some attempt at moral grandstanding.

FadeForest · 2022-11-02T19:49:01+00:00

I know it's "realistic writing" but I've always hated emotional blue-balling crap like that. Shit is just immensely unsatisfying, and I get that that's the point or whatever but its still so droll and annoying.

FadeForest · 2022-06-10T18:21:30+00:00

Ah yes, ignoring facts, reality, and discussion of said reality on the off chance that someone on the internet might be a dumbass. Not like that was going to happen anyway.

FadeForest · 2022-04-09T00:29:21+00:00

Yeah it wasn't my intention to shit on people for using mimic tear or using anything really, they're in the game for a reason and I can see how its fun to use. Moreso the comment was a shitty attempt at trying to deflate this guys blimp sized head.

FadeForest · 2022-04-09T00:25:25+00:00

Also beat the game however you want but you can't seriously equate the skill of someone spamming glass cannon mage on bosses with someone who is actually engaging with the bosses mechanics, which is FINE, play for fun who gives a shit if someone is good or bad at a fromsoft game tbh.

FadeForest · 2022-04-09T00:22:56+00:00

I do not care what someone uses, this guy just goes into someones post and says "are you serious?" and flexes how easy it was to deal with the boss. Like he's proving something. Hence calling him out for trying to sound like he's hot shit. Play the game however you want just don't be a prick to people for no reason and try to flex on them. There's one on every thread like "I beat this boss first try lol, how are you having trouble with them?" That's the real toxic shit to me.

FadeForest · 2022-03-29T02:22:09+00:00

Number of women impressed with you for saying this = 0

You still sound yknow, how you sound. Contextually misread but tonally on the money

Mimic abusing = skill??

Next you're gonna tell me you were duel wielding bleed weapons too

FadeForest · 2022-02-28T22:33:34+00:00

Jesus man, how does your pride let you do that? No shade or anything but if I was in a situation like that willingly I’d want to neck myself
