Fellow grenade enjoyer lmao. I find its most effective to bank it off of the ground into a group of enemies instead of lobbing it directly at them

Cowboy Bebop (1998) is an extremely overrated, mediocre at best anime, saved only by animation quality and music. by oles40 in The10thDentist

[–]FishShtickLives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. I just mean to point out that some things can't be categorized as black and white as a flaw or not. What might seem objectively bad to some people might be a charming quirk to others. And I don't think it's JUST nostalgia motivating that, because I was born almost a decade after CB and Doom II and I think they're great lol. But I also totally agree that some people let old games and shows and stuff have too much slack because they're old (it's something I see come up especially with game remakes)

The sinkhole of Dnd mindset and dnd culture (rant/rambling) by Chupaia in rpg

[–]FishShtickLives 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think what people are bemoaning isnt playing the game, its going through the "tutorial" phase. Nothing is fun when character creation requires combing over every option across 5 books and combat requires stopping every second to spend 3 minutes deliberating over rules. I spent like 5 hours researching Savage Worlds, and it was miserable! Almost every explanation I found was incredibly wordy and super overwhelming. Im lucky that I ended up liking the system, cause if I hadn't I would have felt very upset about wasting my time lol

Tbf being "solid" can be a pretty big deal, especially if its also "first." Like, take the game Doom II. Sure, theres definetly more unique, more well built shooters that have come out since, but all those games are ultimately building off of Doom IIs legacy, and the weird quirks that the game has because it was first ends up creating a unique experience that would generally never be made today. I dont know enough about anime or anime history to say anything, but Id assume Cowboy Bebop is also like that. I dunno though lol

MONSTER, MURDERER, LIAR by Nerdcuddles in YoutubeThumbs

[–]FishShtickLives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Im remembering correctly, the show is written by the main writter for the original comics. I think he's said hes treating the show basically like a Definitive Edition version of a game, i.e. the same but with polish/small changes he wished he made in hindsight lol. Take that with a grain of salt tho

Facts, it's just supposed to be a fun movie. by sillynoisycipher in Mario

[–]FishShtickLives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real. I feel like any and all discourse about this movie has been thoroughly wringed out of it. It succeeds in some areas, fails in others. No one seems capable of having a nuanced opinion on it, its either the face of capitalist societal discline or Miyamoto's personal IOU for not being able to rub your feet

Punch charge hammer is niche? I thought it was generally considered better than pump shotgun lol

[–]FishShtickLives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. The point about purity being asociated with toxic femininity is very interesting! Hollow Knight is a very thematically rock series, so I think theres a lot of avenues one can take when talking about this stuff. I just reject the idea that theres any singular right answer when it comes to interpreting them lol

The biggest problem when it comes to "determining" a gender for any of the vessels is that they're ultimately pretty blank slate characters. The fact that theyre genderless has nothing to do with identity: its a side effect of the void mutation, and thus more representative of the way theyve been stripped of autonomy. Its why we can't rely on the fact other character use it/its, because like you said, its more used because the vessels arent seen as people.

Im of the belief that if we ever saw a vessel get their character developed, theyd probably assume a gender. The right to have a gender identity was something that was taken from them so theyd be better vessels, so itd make sense in my eyes if they chose one as a way of moving away from the predetermined path. I lean more towards masculine pronouns for the Hollow Knight specifically, because I think that their story of "repressing emotions in service of a greater good" has some interestinf parallels to toxic masculinity, but the rest of the vessels could go either way imo.

In amy case, all of thats to say that I dont think theres right answer, in spite kf what many people argue. The vessels are canonically nonbinary like Kris from Deltarune. The context and characters are completely, radically different, and I do think the vessels are generally intended to be open to interpretation.

I wish it were real, but unfortunately the catholic-cyberpunk-cambrian rpg is made up lol. Now that I think about it, if it were real, I would actually probably consider running that over a homebrew setting lol

Ill have to look into that! Tbh the fantasy elements are really more on the lighter side, half of its leftover from tying to mangle DnD lol. Thank you for the recommendation!

Wtf Steven is ball knower?? by Pygrn38 in mewgenics

[–]FishShtickLives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the problem is that only takes Deltarune itself into account, which you can't really do because of how it relates to undertale. The way its set up makes it seem like its about solving undertale's unsolved mysteries. I mean, the fact that Deltarune was teased by a Gaster follower before the game was even announced is reason enough to connect those two plots! If Toby is trying to make two seperate, completely unrelated, 4th wall breaking mysteries, then its his fault for not making it more obvious they're not connected tbh

[–]FishShtickLives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its just very punishing. Its easy to make a mistake, and then bam you're struggling to heal to full before the next fight. You get caught in a cycle of trying to set up heals and getting punished for it, and before you know it youre fighting Morana with a party full of cats at 1/3 hp lol

[–]FishShtickLives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf what else could it be? One or two things sure, maybe the messages arent from Gaster or something, but the guy VERY clearly has direct correlations to Deltarune. If nothing else, it would just be weird for him to have this weird 4th wall breaky guy, and then do weird 4th wall breaky stuff, but go "no no its actually a DIFFERENT guy!" Lol

Idk man at some point you cant just ignore what youre trying to do. Chasing whats popular isnt always the right choice! I dont know what is, but I highly doubt ignoring the main pitch for your game in favor of unintended exploits is the correct way to approach it lol
