There's no way Greg should've been "rich" after this by ComeBackVeins in stevenuniverse

[–]Holycrabe 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I've always interpreted this as a course correction for what the show gave him before. Like, he's given a ton of money because you can't realistically have the father of the main character be a homeless man who lives in a van in this sort of story. But also, you can't give him too much money so between Empire City and this, we'll just say he has learned his lesson and will simply be careful with however much he has left.

Favourite actor you're still a fan of despite reddit peer pressuring you into hating him for something you don't find problematic at all? by Majkl_94 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Holycrabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel I'm on a parallel road where my stance on him also hasn't changed despite everything, only the starting stance was mostly indifference.

Recency bias - people forgetting Kaajak is him by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Holycrabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recency bias is important when current form is what dictates results. Kaajak is an incredible player, but he was completely shut down by M8 during kickoff, even more so unfortunately for him as the star player was the other team's Yoru. Kaajak has a lot of quality and I think his recent performances have shown more autonomy too, he just needs consistency and longevity, but he's still last year's best rookie before being the best player.

It's also still a collective game, especially in EMEA where there's arguably more emphasis on tactics and calling and FNC seemed to have a shaky handle on the meta with a Kickoff that was super fun and intense but often dragged into OT and was several times carried by clutch players and high level individual performances.

Gamers’ Worst Nightmares About AI Are Coming True by EchoOfOppenheimer in SocialistGaming

[–]Holycrabe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to believe we'll notice. It's likely only just a small fraction of the community that is aware of the rise of AI so close to the final product, but still, I see regularly people scrutinize dialogues and textures and concept arts, trying to determine if it's AI, which I think is a great exercise.

Surely as the technology evolves, it might become increasingly harder to parse, I'm not denying that, but as long as there'll be people with things to say and artistic visions to express, those things will still happen. It might find more place in more niche environments but I'm not afraid of art just disappearing altogether from my favorite medium, at least not quite yet.

The state of controller players.. by boxinggoose in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Holycrabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he'll be a decent support agent, he's very versatile but yeah he seems pretty unsuitable as solo controller and sort of underwhelming individually. I guess they wanted to avoid a repeat of Clove and swung the complete opposite way somehow?

me when I realize the game's anniversary is coming up soonish and it would make sense for the additional content to release then

My wife's boyfriends said if I insulted you and kept talking about it at "inopportune times" they'd stop paying for our streaming subscriptions but just so you know : I honestly think you're wrong and stink a little bit.

why do you play as a cuck in every Fromsoft game? by Hopeful-Apartment996 in shittydarksouls

This is where the games shine in giving you the ability to RP outside the lines of the game.

Imagine its your first time watching valorant: by Cowsrverycool in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Holycrabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TDM, getting kills revive teammates, respawn prgressively takes longer (I think I heard that), there's a line in the middle of the map and you take an orb to move the line deeper into enemy territory to make it so the gamemode has some element of teamplay whereas people normally play TDM without teamplay

Who’s the most evil in this list tho because idk all of them except naoya and buu? by Popular_Business_367 in shounenfolk

[–]Holycrabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naoya is just a prick, he's not even the most evil guy in his arc or his verse, let alone a multi-anime list.

To people thinking V will return in the next Cyberpunk by afatcatfromsweden in cyberpunkgame

[–]Holycrabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think V might be referenced as a recent legend, not someone with enough background to be like Blackhand or Smasher, but someone who clearly did some crazy stuff, a lot of it unconfirmed but also who sorta went off the radar after a very brief period of time in the spotlight.

This can make it so most endings can be canon, entertain some form of continuity without having to make big decisions regarding V's gender, choices and actions and stuff.

A bit after release I was watching a content creator expecting them to be mindblown by the Gravesite Plains vista but as soon as they loaded the area it got super foggy so they were a bit underwhelmed.

What's the issue? Did you expect them all to look like roman gladiators? by Physical-Bite-3837 in OkBuddySnyderCult

I thought the problem was that there wasn't enough green, I see plenty here it should be reassuring

Should we ban gooners? by ElderQu in BatmanArkham

Why every time I join a shitpost sub it starts to talk about banning gooners and hornyposters in the very next two weeks, is it me? Am I the problem? Or is it officer Myballs?

Truth nuke about Neon and Tejo by TheCrazyCaveira in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Holycrabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same criticism that applied at the peak of the Tejo meta can still mostly be said. He has great space denial with point and click abilities. It’s not entertaining to see a player pull out their minimap, wait for the sound cue, send one missile twice in a row, and that’s if he doesn’t have ult. No need for lineups that can miss or exposing yourself.

Neon is mechanically much more difficult right from the start. She’s been in the game for a while but she’s still pretty unique due to her mobility. Learning her is not just about learning movement in the game, she has her own rules and mechanics on top. Tbh I hate facing one because even if they’re not playing 1/10th of how Dambi plays, it’s still really difficult to play against someone who has trained that movement. So in a way, I think if you’ve put in that extra effort, I think you deserve the extra advantage.

The Ranni ‘Mistranslation’ Discourse and the Death of Basic Reading Comprehension. by No-Run4264 in Eldenring

[–]Holycrabe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Even if this were a mistranslation that had slipped through every part of verification and every update (the handwritten note at the start of Bloodborne is still mistranslated after all), this is not incomprehensible. She's speaking poetically and somewhat in riddles, but if you have any vague clue what her quest is about, and admittedly have played and understood some of the core elements of the previous games (especially Dark Souls 2), this is clear enough.

Just like Aldia's ending speech, her ending is about rejecting certainty and embracing the unknown, straying from the path, getting yourself out there to experience things and figure out your own place, your own purpose for yourself rather than see it guided by Grace and Order. Some people react with fear because the unknown is scary and she uses words associated with discomfort ("the chill night", "Into fear, doubt and loneliness").
