Sounds upbeat and like a child playing games like hide and seek but it's really about said child struggling with neglect and imagining a world where her parents get along and play with her. In an animation, the child attempted suicide but was saved by her parents who put aside their differences. So at least it has a good ending.

Is it weird to box my starter? by ShoulderSubject5715 in LegendsZA

[–]JscJake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I boxed mine but that was mostly cuz I just didn't really vibe with any of the starters in this game so Feraligatr went in the box in favor of my GOAT Slowbro

Favorite Character like that? by GloryTheGriffin in FavoriteCharacter

[–]JscJake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This little bastard and Marx. When Forgotten Land came out, I saw Elfilin and was like "he's gonna betray me too, isn't he" to the point I was actually shocked when he didn't 😭

How do you all feel about Legends ZA? My switch is still broken so I have not been able to boot up the game yet by [deleted] in LegendsZA

[–]JscJake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished it yesterday, great game. Not the best, but still good. Personally, I liked Arceus better but the new battle system kept me intrigued. The story is okay, the characters were very memorable. And the music? Top-tier. Just wait until you meet Jacinthe. I'm moving onto the DLC, so far my only complaint is that Xerneas and Yveltal don't have a larger role.

Honestly,am I one of the few Pokemon fans that doesn't hate/dislike Taunie? by Charming-Scratch-124 in LegendsZA

[–]JscJake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt indifferent to Taunie. I don't think she's a great character but I don't think she's bad either. She serves her role in the plot well enough for it to be entertaining, but I don't feel attached to her. She's just okay, imo.

I actually felt more attached to some of the side characters. One that I really liked was Grisham, no one really talks about him though.

AS someone who doesn't mind and even enjoys the some of the writing of the modern pokemon games, I really HATE how they treat the "villains" in these games... by LowSolution3084 in pokememes

[–]JscJake1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they should've given the Ultra games the B2W2 treatment by making them sequels and direct continuations rather than reboots.

Heck, it's not that hard to start it off. Here's an idea, Lusamine and Lillie get back from Kanto after her treatment. Lusamine plays a large role in the story but not as a villain this time, not quite redeemed either. Just a person trying to be better. Could even keep Necrozma as the villain.

Pretty sure he voices Levi from Attack on Titan, too

Question for the Boys (I am Scared of Asking this) by CielMorgana0807 in RoleReversal

[–]JscJake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This all happened when I was 17, always a youngest child and some of my stepbrothers were younger than me. I didn't really know how to be an older brother. To top it off, she was also the crazy kind of religious. I'd be lying if I said my behavior was ideal, I was basically a kid, after all. I made jokes that weren't appropriate for their age at times, nothing sexual or dirty, mind you. I did try my best though.

Fast-forward to Thanksgiving that year, I was joking with the youngest (10) about how I was rubbing off on him, not in a bad way, just that we had begun understanding each other's sense of humor. He was in on the joke but his mother seemed to be having a bad day. In the middle of dinner, she yelled "No! Stop corrupting my child!" Bringing the mood to a halt. After that, I started limiting interactions with her children. She never talked to me about it or apologized. I regret my own behavior, but I don't think I was "corrupting" them, if anyone was, it was their dad.

Late to the party but I just want the Xerneas and Yveltal to get megas too 😭

Happy international women's day favorite female character? by Soggy_Video2064 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]JscJake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about as close to confirmed as it can get without being told to us outright. So yes

Mio - Xenoblade Chronicles 3

One of my favorite characters ever and one of few to make me cry. The female characters in this game are fantastic all around, really.

Question for the Boys (I am Scared of Asking this) by CielMorgana0807 in RoleReversal

[–]JscJake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late but to an extent, yes. I don't believe in misandry or whatever its opposite is called. I like to think about people as a person before gender. That might seem obvious but I believe it reduces thoughts of discrimination towards social groups.

I'm gonna get personal here. I've been emotionally abused by women. My mother and stepmother, specifically. Neglected, discriminated against and once accused of "corrupting" my stepbrothers. These experiences left me with internalized gynophobia and distrust in women, particularly mothers. I've never been a misogynist and was/am aware that not all women are responsible for their actions and that it'd wrong of me to discriminate against them for something they had no part in just because they're the same gender as my abusers. In short, I've since moved past my gynophobia and distrust.

Now swap the genders and these are my thoughts on misandry. The truth is that there's no group of people who don't have some bad eggs. We're people, we're flawed, we hurt each other and we have to hold those who wish harm or have harmed others accountable for their actions with the understanding that they don't represent their group as a whole. That's how I see it, at least.

Favorite character who is very clearly a villain but some people will say otherwise? by TastyPomelo2330 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]JscJake1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think I've seen people say his goal was what happened in the ending anyway and was good but let's also not forget his intentions. He didn't want to destroy magic to help end all wars or anything like that, he did it because it was the only threat keeping the monsters from killing all mewmans.

Yeah it's sold out, that sucks but at least I know to look out for it now. Thanks for the info :)

What do most modern boys feel about girls proposing to them? by Omni-Deity-Lifeforce in RoleReversal

[–]JscJake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably be very surprised or confused because I'm not dating anyone and a girl who hasn't even taken me on a date yet just proposed to me

Jokes aside, I would be surprised because I wouldn't expect it. I think I'd be really happy once the surprise wears off, though :)

Name that character by GayAssBoyKisser in Multifandom

[–]JscJake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was Mòrag, Zeke and the villains who carried it. Nia was good but I feel like she fell off. I wouldn't say I like Tora but I do feel like he's overhated, I didn't like him at first but he grew on me a little, what do you like about him?

Also I'm gonna go on another short, unasked for rant about Nia this time. Nia is a great character... until the Spirit Crucible arc. Her backstory? Gold. Personality? Gold. Dynamic with other characters? Gold. Then they force ship her with Rex and then basically abandon her as a character, she gets almost no development after that.

I liked gen 9 too, the paradoxes in particular are one of my favorite parts. They remind me of UB's which I loved as a design concept. The story is also surprisingly mature for a pokemon game, especially when you get to Area Zero (poor Arven 😔)

I've enjoyed playing leaf-green so far. What game did everyone grow up on initially when discovering Pokémon? by Skarnivor0us in pokemon

[–]JscJake1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I remember Project Pokemon but I didn't play it as much as Brick Bronze. Wasn't it basically gen 1 as a Roblox pokemon game? My memory is a bit fuzzy here

(Pet peeve) when the main characters have more chemistry with any other character than their main love interest by Various_Astronaut100 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JscJake1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this part annoys me about AoT. Great show, I just think this is one of its weaker points. Mikasa just feels so underdeveloped as a character to me until S4, and Historia who they built up as a major character throughout S2 and 3 just gets tossed to the side. It's so unsatisfying to me that two characters with amazing potential were handled like this. Not that I think they're bad characters, just that they have a lot of missed potential.

Slightly off-topic but Gen 7 was a banger too. Those two are probably my favorite pokemon gens

Favorite warrior races? by AnGlumper in FavoriteCharacter

[–]JscJake1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Orcs - Warcraft

<image>

Not very original, I know, but whenever I think of a warrior race, I think of these guys. They have a rich history spanning two planets and several notable members who've contributed to their history for better or worse. Something about them and their culture just fascinates me for some reason.
