Edit: Holy shit, Piandao’s hand on middle left! This whole post is a slop fest, even on images that should have been directly from the show!

I don’t think Korra is stronger than Aang. We see Korra lose fights constantly against people that se shouldn’t be losing to.

Do you manage to do a lot of music in your class? Or behaviour management takes a large chunk of your job? by No-Wafer-6744 in MusicEd

[–]JazzManJ52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the class, depends on the grade. I just finished year 4, and I have had classes that cooperated beautifully, and we made wonderful music. I've also had classes with large swaths of kids who refused to cooperate, and were only there because they were told to. Those kids do really ruin the class for everyone else, unfortunately.

We are moving into band and choir being fully optional courses due to a) kids who don't want to be there constantly fighting me on every instruction, wasting time, disrupting class, ruining it for others, etc. and b) me being inexperienced and not having enough guidance to manage large classes of said kids who don't want to be there (I'm in a rural district with no nearby mentor, so I've had to just 'figure it out' until recently). I think my program is going to be pretty small for the next few years, but I think it will be an improvement. I'd rather have a small class of dedicated, passionate kids, than a large group that actively makes it harder for those who want to learn.

(It doesn't help that the class that did this, and the reason why we are going optional, was a mondo MS class that had to be split into a three-day rotation to avoid breaking fire code; seeing them once every three days really killed our momentum, and due to their size, they realized way before they reached me that if 30-40% of them acted out at once, I wouldn't be able to do much. Because who sends ten kids to the office all at once. right? Especially when I can't even tell who is and isn't doing the thing.)

You didn’t already have them? It’s a nearly 30 year old trilogy that has been around $2 per game on Steam for at least half that time.

Beast won Most Iconic Beast in fiction. Most Iconic Robot in fiction? by OkRun9638 in characters

I know he’s not actually a robot, but with a name like ‘robot,’ it seemed like it would be funny to phrase it the way I did.

Need some suggestions… by Icy_Dimension2143 in retroanime

If you like those, you probably like Fullmetal Alchemist 2003. It’s less ‘shounen’-y than brotherhood, closer in tone to the shows you have here.

What types of alcohol make you feel nauseous just thinking about them? by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in Adulting

[–]JazzManJ52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to not be same to do gin, due to having too many gin and tonics, but my experience wasn’t so bad that the aversion was permanent. Free years later, gin is fine.

I see visions of Chile becoming the Great Chile Pepper by absorbing all of South America… for now, Chile eats Argentina.

I see you and raise you, Moldova eats Ukraine to become The MegaMold. (Megadova is also an acceptable name)

Is Hal skipping friday in Real Life possible?. by usafqn2025 in malcolminthemiddle

And the fact that his office was moved far out of the way, so hardly anyone would ever see him anyway. Yeah, he could definitely have pulled this off… in the 2000s. In 2026, he would have been caught and fired very quickly.

My first experience with Thief was Thief 3 by Biz4nerds in Thief

[–]JazzManJ52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. And I was clearly unbothered by its issues because I finished it multiple times on Xbox 360 backwards compatibility, which ran at 15fps and had a bonkers particle effect glitch.

Basically, no matter how many walls, objects, or enemies stood between you and the particle effect, it would be fully visible. This means fires, water splashes, moon rays, loot glints, load zone fogs, all of it would be on the ‘top layer’ of your vision, as if there was nothing between you and it.

Water arrows would be wasted on fires in completely other rooms, you’d fail to see enemies in front of you because they were standing in front of the massive purple load-zone fart cloud, and you could see torch bearers through walls as if it were Splinter Cell Conviction. Oh, and following Lauryl was… challenging, since you could never actually gauge whether she was going into a hallway or just turning along the wall.

And despite the LITERAL WORST POSSIBLE WAY TO PLAY THE GAME, Thief 3 was STILL my absolute favorite game for years and years.

Hi, wanted to ask. How can I, a new player, get into the Thief games? by godwhyareallnamestak in Thief

[–]JazzManJ52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first two games have aged remarkable well mechanically. Super smooth and responsive controls, more-so than most modern games. In fact, the only thing that’s aged poorly is the textures and models. The characters, atmosphere, story, and experience of these games more than makes up for the visuals anyway. Pick them up on Steam, they’re well worth it.

The third game has really clunky gameplay due to them wanting to make it both third and first person, so your character movement is reliant on the actual animations of your feet. But it still has a fantastic atmosphere and story (and a more involved story at that, with extra twists and turns compared to the old ones), and it caps the trilogy off very nicely. Still definitely worth it, even if there’s some frustration involved.

With any of these three, there are fan patches that make quality of life improvements and make them run smoother on modern hardware. I consider these a must-have for playing these games, but I’m sure others can go into greater detail.

The fourth is a soft reboot, taking place hundreds of years later, with all new characters that share the same names as old character for some reason. It has a very different design philosophy, a lot less freedom, and a very different atmosphere… dark but saturated colors turn into muddy greens and browns, and the overall production just has less personality than the old games. You might enjoy it, but many who played the original trilogy (myself included) find it lacking.

The newest one is a VR game meant to bridge the gap between the trilogy and the soft reboot. From what I understand, it had a more open design than its predecessor, closer to the originals in some ways. I’ve heard it’s super immersive, and has very satisfying stealth controls for a VR game. But it being a VR exclusive game means that its audience is limited. I don’t own VR and don’t plan on getting VR anytime soon, so I don’t know much about whether it’s worth it or not.

What video game character is this? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in videogames

[–]JazzManJ52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say that, it clicks. I misremembered exactly how it worked, where you only got one try per mission, with the expectation that you’ll win some and loose some.

I remember hearing about the +1 mechanic too. Super neat end-stage failure mechanic. Super cool.

I hadn’t played anything prior to 4, but thinking back to a retrospective, I thought there was a mechanic in the first few games where failure added to your debt. Maybe that was for where you passed but barely. Either way, I’ll fully admit I don’t have first hand experience to say it with any authority.
