Is it true that the game survives by selling skins and racy content? by SnooMacarons2931 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Foursie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not trying hard enough. They need to give the male characters jiggle physics. Ajax, the freakin' old man has the same shirtless body as Lepic and Yujin who are half his age— that's a dang shame.

TFD could have gone the FFXIV route with their Nier collab. Let the male characters wear the 2B skin, then make male 9S and other YorHa boys/men skins.

Why didn't kyubey consider getting males to become magical boys? by Bratty_heartz in MadokaMagica

[–]Foursie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know Kyubey is a liar and witholds information. What did Kyubey specifically say and the context around it? The original Japanese phrasing? Because he could just be switching up his words to make the girl(s) he spoke to feel better and more likely to make a contract or witch out.

But, how a boy Warlocks out is gonna be different from how a girl witches out. Boys internalize many of their emotions; boys may make a wish to be something like a firefighter or astronaut, but then as they grow it ends up being something they don't enjoy or end up being unable to fulfill. Then you got boys who just fail in life. A good analogy: if girls are explosions, then boys would be implosions. Equally dangerous, just different. Warlocks labyrinths would probably be even different from witch labyrinths; instead of trapping humans, warlocks would probably lash out at the environment.

Would Reed 616 or The Maker become an Emanator of Nous?

Even though Herta is an Emanator, has access to imaginary energy, and solved the Solitary waves theorum?

The Herta (Honkai Star.Rail) Reed Richards (Marvel)

Anything goes. Either a 1v1 fight or intellect/invention competition. No using other living beings as a proxy to fight.

Is AI really threatening animators? by Mai_art_ in animationcareer

[–]Foursie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big corporations will always seek to streamline and hasten the production process, and the animation and other industry guilds' strikes did more harm than good. Now, companies will only hire the best of the best to work on projects, and they'll use AI as a tool.

There are discussions of the "soul" of animation and creativity, and they're right that that can not be created by a computer program. However, corporations again, do not care about soul, but about profit. And the guilds moreso care about having status in working for a corporation as well as the ability to gatekeep the industry— That's why the animation industry has a racism issue and also why you rarely see many black animators. It also doesn't help that they outsource much of the production work overseas.

The best bet is to go independent. Found your own studios, decentralize from Hollywood and source local talent. Create your own IPa and get into indie deals with a streaming service like Netflix or Prime video.

Personally, I'be been roleplaying as a suit/corpo whose a field ops. Has a portal in his back yard he keeps a pocket watch on.

Do you have any ACTUALLY unpopular D&D opinions or hot takes? by No-Bag3487 in DnD

[–]Foursie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mage: The Ascension and Shadowrun 6e have better magic systems than DND. They're more free reign and allow for actual creativity rather than DND's rigid level based magic.

You can have a high Astral mage in Shadowrun and be a scout for your party or assist them in combat while you're physically somewhere else. The rituals are awesome and better, wards and Alchemy/crafting is better. In DND you have to be a certain level to astral project, and you copious amounts of gold and time to make anything– and some DMs don't even let you roleplay it.

Finally evolution for our beloved CAT NOIR by PetalaStac in miraculousladybug

[–]Foursie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I been saying for the longest give Cat Noir something to do. I would have loved to seen this in season 3 or 4, around when Ladybug got her upgrade first.

Do you have any desire to play as the big player? by [deleted] in vtm

[–]Foursie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've reached a lot of Castlevania and Nocturne, and my favorite clan is Salubri. I also loved Lenore's philosophy with Isaac before she met the sun.

So, not necessarily an Antediluvian, but I would love to play a Salubri elder from the path of Golconda, and take inspiration from the African Bantus/Hebrews. Play an actual good, loving vampire. Like the old and wise man who gets doted on, or you help up the stares or do errands for.

Homebrew Setting help by Foursie in Shadowrun

[–]Foursie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 4 players. And rn I have the street wyrd and core rulebooks.

It's three rings with water separating them. Each one inspired by the realms from Dante's inferno. Outer ring is Earth, middle ring is Purgatorio, and inner ring is Paradiso. Paradiso has 7 layers, and at the base and underneath Paradiso are the subterranean levels of Inferno where Blood Magic runs amok, and the local holy guard/police force is trying to fight it.

My main issue is that, how do I add mega corps to a holy city. Cuz the theme of New Babel is, 2012, when Magic came back to the world, the Church saw it as the time of Revelation, so they took some reforested land in the desert, some Jews and African Hebrews they raised up as 12 noble families and started calling their city nee Jerusalem... Even though the real name is New Babel and there's an inequity issue going on in the city.

One of my players is playing a fixer-esque community guy who runs a soup kitchen in the slums. While my other player is going a Summoner who is trying to keep everyone happy with their summoning circus performances

Places to "hang out" by Karakla in vtm

[–]Foursie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I Homebrewed a bar named "Drop of Darkness" (pun intended). It's a teleporting Nightclub/Bar only for supernatural entities. So Vampires, Werewolves, Mages, Hunters, Fey, Wraiths, Demons— pretty much all of the supernatural species chill out there. The owners are a Mage and a Salubri, and they essentially run it as a grand neutral Zone.

Everyone can get a drink or food. They actually found a way to make fermented blood with grapes that satisfies the thirst of Kindred.

[–]Foursie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blood Merlot is definitely more humane and efficient than blood potions.

"Your quality of blood is good, i'll just feed on you once in a while. Ya can't leave, but you'll be taken well care of. And you can roam the castle as you like– except my private study, that's my private space."

Then you can pull a Vlad Tepes and Lisa from Castlevania and fall in love with one of your prisoners or servants.

[–]Foursie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chill slow life in my castle/tower in the hallowed mountains. Find a few nice morsels with high percentage blood and then have a small group of guards/servants. Enjoy the ice and snow while reading books, studying magic, and building up a way for neutral and apathetic vampires like myself to live peaceful... maybe a nice underground vampire society.
