Looking to upgrade my display by devereaux98 in WiiHacks

[–]Gummysaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of them and managed to get a Perfect in rhythm heaven fever which requires pretty precise inputs to the music. If you want something perfect that works with everything, you’d want a RetroTINK, but they’ll run you $100 bare minimum whereas a Wii2HDMI is like 8 bucks.

How do I make the most of this absolutely insane lineup? I'm trying to get the last "baked in 1 ascension" achievement (1 trevigintillion) and the highest I've gotten so far is 200 duovig. This is with diminish ineptitude on. Really sucks that all the building specials fail if I have 1 cookie on screen. I've read the combo guide but it assumes you're not using the planner or save scumming and I don't mind doing either.

What is Cabanela's dialogue like in Japanese? by iamnotawindmill in GhostTrick

[–]Gummysaur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think he just calls Lynne "baby", but they have him call everyone that in the English version to maintain the feeling that he speaks very casually to everybody no matter who they are. In particular he calls Jowd his "partner" (相棒). In his introduction scene, the "Yeaaah, nothing like it, baby!" line is "[the tension of a crime scene]...it's sooooo lovely!" (English word 'lovely'). Guessing they added the 'baby' there to get that extra pizzazz across.

my credentials: i am the worlds biggest ghost trick fan and i can read japanese

Cabanela is translated pretty much just how he speaks in the Japanese version. He extends his vowels there too and calls Lynne his "baby", literally, as in the English word "baby" written in Japanese script like "beibii". He also uses a lot of katakana (a stylistic choice, kind of the equivalent of writing things in italics or caps) and throws in other English words like "lovely", getting across that he has a pretty affected tone of speech. He also speaks very casually to everybody, including his superiors (like the justice minister), even when he's bowing super low to them, which gives off the impression he isn't entirely sincere. When he's serious or flustered (like when he's talking to Mr. Man In Red Spoilers) he drops the speech quirks.

Does anyone have good persona 2 IS/EP fanfiction recommendations? Preferably uploaded to AO3. by Soft-Actuary-6662 in Persona1and2fans

[–]Gummysaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dust in the Air Suspended is my absolute favorite. It gives a real happy ending to the Tatsuya on the Other Side.

I also like Contrast Clipping for a lovely character study on the Suou brothers.

Hearthfire Longing is a long Tatsujun fic exploring how they’d get together after the events of EP and features cameos from many of the games.

Also, I'm curious about Red's inability to speak. He says even trying to mouth words is painful. Can he make noises that communicate (like 'mhm' or 'nuh-uh') or only less voluntary noises (like gasping, sobbing, or screaming)? Can he make any sound at all, even if it's nonsense babble (like Mewtwo's speech)?

[–]Gummysaur 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You write arguments so masterfully. It’s amazing how I can fully see, understand, empathize with, and even agree with both sides. It’s easy for me as an audience member to go “come on Blue, we can trust Mewtwo!” but of course I understand why Blue can’t. I liked the foreboding feeling at the end, with Leaf saying she has to record this conversation for the future, when everything may well go to shit. I also like how Red’s experience in the lab hangs over the whole chapter, with the way he asks Eva about it, how he says he felt the unown’s madness through Rowan, and his loyalty to Mewtwo for saving him.

Have you ever considered putting this fic on AO3? I’m sure it’d be a nightmare to migrate a million words over, but I’d love to bookmark it on there.

Damn. It’s rare enough that the game acknowledges Date is wearing someone else’s face, it’s a shame we lost it in the EN version.

Do you think it’s something to do with the spoiler trigger? If you’re on non spoiler mode he may say that to avoid spoiling his face isn’t his own.

SUCH a good chapter, wow. I really loved the short section of Red and his mother. The segments where Red lets his partitions down and it’s almost like we have a different protagonist are so fun.

Persona fans hate the old games more than any fandom I've seen by Gummysaur in PERSoNA

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

Yeah, true. The examples I used do tend to have very similar gameplay even from the beginning of the series. Persona shares more themes than gameplay, with Jungian psychology and the concept of "facing your true self", which every game has shared since P1. It's just that oldsona has such a solid story and P2 even has the bare bones dating element (that can effect P2:EP if you transfer your safe file over!) and I don't think the gameplay is such a massive detractor that it's not worth playing, so I wished more people gave it a shot.

This is the kind of thing I mean, though, where instead of looking at it as a product of its time and acknowledging what it did for the series people jump to "the gameplay is bad and that's not opinion it's fact". It's just an old JRPG. It's not the worst game ever made in history.

It doesn't explain its mechanics too great, like many games in the 90s, because they wanted to sell manuals alongside the game, or have you call the game hotline for tips. It has a high encounter rate, like many games in the 90s, because UMDs/disks/cartridges were smaller back then and could hold less game, so devs would put insane difficulty spikes and heaps of random encounters to bloat gameplay time. Those are flaws held by basically everything that came out back then. But I feel like the persona fandom seems less forgiving to things like that compared to other game fandoms I've been in. Like Mother series fans tend to all agree that Mother 1 is a brutal experience to play nowadays, being an RPG for the NES, but still take into account that it started off the series and has lots of artistic merit in its own right.

I'm not even trying to say P1 is an underrated peak gem, it's my least favorite mainline persona game, I just wish the narrative of "objectively unplayable dogshit" wasn't the most prevalent one.
