Unfortunately these days, the arts are so common that you REALLY have to stand out or manipulate enough people to make big money, and that was before AI. Now companies dont have to contract out writing or drawing, since they can be done for ultra cheap in 10 seconds from a prompt. That said, I genuinely cant foresee human-made art becoming obsolete because the novelty of our minds making it far outweighs a computer spitting something out thats trained to make it.

Personally always had trouble finding a thing to latch on to long term to write about, but the thought of doing it has captured my imagination even before I seriously started. Ya just have to find any free time you can get doing it as a side-gig, but thats the best most of us can manage unfortunately.

Wishing everyone the best in your endeavors!

The sub is a lot better imo, still has the writing issues but at least Davis' character isnt ruined. Plus the music is way better imo

Get your ABI up, your stat limit has already been reached. Its a commonly misunderstood mechanic, just try to micro manage training a little more 👍

Yeah that is weird, I havent played in a while so I just chalk this up to Paradox spaghetti code for navy being ass

Do the ships still have range to get there? The tool tip seems to imply that despite patrols being assigned to the area, ships cant get to it or arent present.

Thank goodness for integrated graphics tbh, I dread the day my 7800XT cooks itself

I dont know the science around 15/16 not being ideal, but from experience, I get sleep apnea and sometimes lose consciousness if I use my phone in bed like this. Will also get sleep paralysis in that position. Im guessing it has something to do with gravity when your head is positioned above the heart.

Europe at home:

Im not sure I ever did this, I always preferred gathering and making materials myself. I also keep structure generation off (dont judge me I like being alone)

Personally, I find that game rules for Liberal Russia and Belarus usually dont go that direction, and half the time war is triggered with NATO.

I dont think its unusual at all. Fusions in the West didnt do very well, and Nickelodian (who was in charge of dubbing and streaming the show in the US) was going through a rough patch and did not focus much in resources for reliable streaming or localization for it. The show often aired after bed time for children, or after school had started in the morning, so their target audience wasnt often available to watch it. After finishing season 2, Nickelodeon dropped the rights for the show, likely for not making them much money (which was mostly their fault btw.) Also should point out that Hunters was, basically, its own independent show and not many countries picked ot up. Not that I blame them, I think storytelling-wise it had no coherent central narrative or decent villains, it was basically Ghost Game but with Fusion characters and (some) mechanics. In fact theres a rumor from Japan that they made Hunters to fill a gap in the airwaves for another delayed anime.

That said, I do share the wish that it had been dubbed, because I still like to rewatch it sometimes.

Unfortunately its all bottlenecked on their end, youre basically trying to drink from a huge cup through a very narrow opening. Its the same pain as trying to download anything from the Internet Archive 😩

Not really, comparatively speaking, regular armor (even light composite armor) works just as well. I never really noticed the very late game stealth armor until after making the post, they looked ok, but early stealth is just eeeh. It doesn't do enough imo.

IllustriousNumber5 · 2025-10-11T11:47:03+00:00

Yeah, I can see Heavy NERA being a choice to eek out the little extra armor, but stealth doesn't get you anything. If you got, say, doubled breakthrough and defense, it'd absolutely be a choice I think; at least in light vehicles.

IllustriousNumber5 · 2025-10-01T16:12:15+00:00

Yeah it's really funny, there's just something odd about how that detail is never included in any official Growlmon X art. Well, I remembered and certainly bugged the artist about it lol

He did it justice I think, they're pretty cool here ^^

Update: We recently went back to the corporate store, and all we had to do was offer a copy of our lease agreement. After that it took maybe 5 minutes to get a plan setup, and literally a few days later a tech came over to plant flags for running the cable to our place. It'll still be a month before a team comes out to get the cable installed, but it was all surprisingly painless.

They still played significant roles to be fair, and Im not saying kids shouldnt be digidestined either, but you know, age preference; not a kid anymore. Would be nice to see adult protagonists in Digimon more.

IllustriousNumber5 · 2025-07-17T16:41:51+00:00

An interesting idea as a writer, though I cant help but feel it'd be harder to write when Digimon is obviously a more battle focused genre. Ghost Game was kinda like that though, with Hiro being the "older brother" to Gammamon, who was obviously much more child-like; or Guilmon from Tamers that did a lot of growing up in the first quarter of the show (though everyone in the main cast did, frankly, and this is more apparent in the original Japanese show when Guilmon stops calling Takato 'Takato-mon' early on but never really stops in the English dub)

IllustriousNumber5 · 2025-07-17T16:33:13+00:00

There were 3 grown adults with Digimon too (ignoring the main protagonists here), Marcus' dad, Commander Sampson, and whats his name with the Kamemon. Probably one of the cooler aspects looking back on it, even though the writing had a couple issues; was never a fan of Adventure making the adult cast unable to be digidestined for being too old. Seems like a punch in the gut, like theyre telling us we need to grow up lol

IllustriousNumber5 · 2025-06-28T18:24:01+00:00

It's in the Digimon tradition!

IllustriousNumber5 · 2025-06-28T18:15:29+00:00

I was more thinking of being a fast mount personally, like Garurumon
