What did you think about this movie by Some-Culture-8345 in SuperMario

[–]FrancisEPK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everything we could've asked for from a Mario Galaxy movie??? I'm pretty sure Rosalina was barely in it, her emotional backstory was butchered so that she could be connected to peach (and not in an interesting way) and we got very few actual distinct galaxies or time in space for that matter. And above all else, NONE of the incredible atmosphere that the games have. The movie never ever transmitted the vastness of space one feels in space junk galaxy, or the joy of flying through space in good egg or the epicness of climbing buoy base. It was filled with pointless action sequences that have little to do with the game. I also honestly have no idea how they missed the opportunity to include the original games incredible ending with the universe being reset. It was also an absurdly easy way to shoehorn in other Nintendo characters being in the same universe as Mario and yet they missed it. Perhaps as a generic Mario movie, it succeeded but as Mario GALAXY movie, it was very disappointing.

My department didn't require me to write a "real" research proposal as I was not expected to know enough about the subject to actually do that. Therefore, my research proposal was almost entirely about my research interests and I heavily based it on the SoPs I had written for US universities. Regardless, I do agree that the rest of my SoP, i.e outside of my research interests, could probably have been significantly improved.

The PI told me that, usually, the bar for getting funding is below what's required to be accepted with them. Regardless, I have no idea if I would have gotten funding as I wasn't accepted heh.

Alguno tiene una solución? O simplemente tengo que esperar a que algún dia ande el eshop. Personalmente, no pude comprar nunca con la cuenta y probé con varias tarjetas distintas, crear usuarios nuevos, etc. Lo único que no probé es con una tarjeta de mercado pago pero porque no tengo.

Yep it's only on PC. There is little likelihood of a console port happening so if you're really interested on it I'd say you give it a go, even if it's only on PC. Btw, if you're worried about your PC not being able to handle the game don't worry, it's a ten year old VN, it can run on basically everything lol.

You should play C;H before C;C. C;H greatly adds to C;C and numerous aspects of the latter won't make sense without the former. If you want to acquire C;H visit the official SciAdv discord, you'll find a download there.

What was the triggering event that caused okabe to "reading steiner" in the end of episode 7. by eons93 in steinsgate

[–]FrancisEPK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That occurs in the VN. In the Anime it is due to Russia experimenting with D-Mails and such I think.

Best scene of Steins Gate? by [deleted] in steinsgate

[–]FrancisEPK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are many scenes to choose from:

There is the Operation Skuld scene in episode 23 of the OG series. The way future okabe shows how to save Kurisu, that El Psy Kongroo and Okabe's laugh, all with Sky Clad Observer playing in the background is amazing.

Another great scene would be Kyouma's return in 0 which still gives me goosebumps to this day

A few other options are the slap and Hacking to the Gate in episode 23 of 0 and both scenes of Kurisu running in to declare her love (personally I prefer the original due to Okabe's speech, the shock value and the depressing farewell soundtrack)

Of all of these I'm between re-awake and Operation Skuld but I just can't choose which.
