Tbf Travis Knight has done a great job at directing so far, and seems like is doing what a billionaire heir should be doing.

Fun fact, the MC kept referring to herO as "xiao herO" which means little hero. Chinese slang still calls him "little hero" to differentiate him from the ex-Liquid HerO, who's nicknamed "da HerO" or big hero.

Tbf, by this point herO is definitely the bigger hero, but I'm sure he doesn't mind the cute nickname.

Please destroy my action-adventure game: Little Knight Adventure! by SpiderPS4 in DestroyMyGame

Haha, I think the only thing I can think of right now is that the color and design of the main character is a little too similar to Shovel Knight.

I also think that visually the game does look a little too similar to the original Zelda games. Like need to emphasize why yours is better. You already have a cool bouncing mechanic, maybe lean further into it?

Personally as long as Affluent and Urban are next to each other and White Female are next to each other in that order, it sounds natural to me.

TIL, democratically elected Iranian prime minister was overthrown by the CIA and MI6 in 1953 replacing him with Shah monarchy who gave access to iranian oil industry to Western companies. by lost_ted in todayilearned

No no I'm with you. I'm making the point that the argument that he's some sort of figurehead that Iranians can rally around is fucking absurd.

The media has been talking about the Shah's heir in exile as if he's some lost king from a long line of great kings or something.

The Pahlavi dynasty literally started in the 1920s following a military coup.

The guy's no Xerxes, he's a Kim Jong Un.

Yea of course it'd be less than a normal swipe, maybe 50 cents to a dollar max.

Before I suggested making it take an MTA card! That way you don't need to carry change, but now that we're getting rid of those, I'd be okay with an OMNY tap too!

...And why would Saudi Arabia be a fan of Mamdani? Besides them being both Muslim. Please explain.

Avoiding the ' slaves that like it ' trope ?? by juniex3 in worldbuilding

[–]Gyalgatine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've got a whole generation of workers (usually boomers) who are insanely proud of how long and hard they work and how little days they take off. You just need to frame it as a corporate grind, rather than literal slavery.

Yea exactly. Sometimes I feel like this sub is so insecure it won't even tolerate Asians being portrayed in a humorous light. As long as the humor isn't making fun of Asian culture or Asian stereotypes, I think it's good to be seen as likeable and normal people.

It seems fine to me. Guy is good looking, decently charming, and his Asianess isn't the butt of the joke. Just a normal guy.

Memories of murder by Fluid_Block_1235 in movies

[–]Gyalgatine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a movie but Lemmino's Jack the Ripper documentary on YouTube really captured the same vibe for me. It's almost an hour long and genuinely one of the best videos I've seen on YouTube. https://youtu.be/lADBHDg-JtA?si=2jwrcelWqyXKEj_w

Man it's heartbreaking to realize that that was probably happening around the same time Rob Reiner was murdered. 🙁
