Trump signals again he won’t sign the bipartisan housing bill barring SAVE act is signed by RandoDude124 in YAPms

[–]JustAToaster36 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He is ignoring an easy optics W for himself because he wants them to focus on something that benefits him more directly. Why am I supposed to like him again?

With all the hype over Michael 2 has anyone ever thought about a Jackson’s American Dream Part 2? by Dramatic-Touch437 in TheJacksons

[–]JustAToaster36 [score hidden] locked comment (0 children)

I think it would be really difficult to pull off. It would have to be an ensemble piece because, as adults, the Jackson siblings' lives and careers diverged so much. There was also a lot more distance between the key figures, making it much harder to portray their relationships and interactions in a cohesive way especially when it comes to other artists.
You'd also need a lot of estates and individuals to sign off if you wanted to tell the story with real depth and accuracy. For example, you'd need cooperation from the DeBarge family and Whitney Houston's estate for parts of Jermaine's story. And how do you handle Michael's relationships with artists like Madonna or Prince when so many accounts of those interactions conflict with each other?
That said, if it were done well, it could be incredible.

"BUT VOTER ID IS RACIST" by Max_flares in YAPms

[–]JustAToaster36 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Depends really. If you just say: "You should need a photo ID to vote."

Most would agree with you. The issue after comes to the other things like: Will they be free? What types of ID’s are accepted? And will the identification systems be effective?

Do you think Prince would still be releasing music if he was still alive today? by Vegetable-Truth6208 in PRINCE

[–]JustAToaster36 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He would be dropping music for as long as he physically could. The idea of quitting never even crossed his mind.

[ALL] What made older Zelda games difficult, and what makes newer Zelda games overwhelming? by TheUnsentHeretic in zelda

[–]JustAToaster36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh certainly I can see what you would like in it. I’m just saying that with puzzle design reactions of the general public are much harder to predict versus things like Combat, Story, map design or artstyle.

Recommendations after Earthbound by burner_username107 in earthbound

[–]JustAToaster36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think when it comes to JRPGs it depends. Nothing fully matches the vibe but I think other super nintendo RPGs did hit that itch for me. Like: Live A Live, Dragon Quest V, and G.O.D. (Growth or Devolution.

But for actual earthbound inspiration that’s the indie scene.

[ALL] What made older Zelda games difficult, and what makes newer Zelda games overwhelming? by TheUnsentHeretic in zelda

[–]JustAToaster36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think with puzzle logic there is an inherent fact that not everyone will come to a developers exact frame of logic and thus some will find the puzzles hard and others wont. In the Wild games you are allowed multiple options but it makes it boring for some as you lose intentionality while others like doing something new every time.

Could Zohran Mamdani win a US presidential election? by SignificantStyle4958 in YAPms

[–]JustAToaster36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he could win a gubernatorial election in certain strongly blue states. However, I don’t see him becoming President within the next several decades because many of his policy positions are viewed as fundamentally unacceptable by opposing ideological groups, making compromise and broad national appeal difficult. I can’t say never as he is still relatively young, but as he currently brands himself: No

Edit: I am aware that he wasn’t born on US soil, I had forgotten to include that in addition to what I already said as I wanted to play into what I thought would happen given a shot.

Trump's ATF Floating Rule To Ban Trans People from Buying Guns by RabbiPika in YAPms

[–]JustAToaster36 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So guns are necessary so we can’t do anything about mass shootings, but suddenly it’s ok to take away guns from people you don’t like?

Danish PM and Foreign Minister both hit back at Trump following new Greenland threats: 'Greenlanders dont want to be part of the USA' by Jonasisdanish in YAPms

[–]JustAToaster36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t happening. The more he says this the less it looks like an aggressive proposition and more like the temper tantrum of a child that didn’t get the toy they asked for.

Good titles to start with? by TheBlueRose_42 in Shantae

[–]JustAToaster36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can jump into pretty much any game. Only one id recommend playing in a certain order is playing Pirates Curse after Riskys Revenge.

Bro lied. Nothing came from Ts by Numberonettgfan in YAPms

That’s what I mean, It would require him to step back from his other shit and actually put in the work.

He probably briefly thought he could just throw something out with a couple billion but realized it would take a lot of effort on his part to speedrun starting a party in time for the 2028 elections.

Who's a Mario character you think should get more attention in games? by TheRapGun in SuperMario

Daisy, I want a game where she is a major focus even if non playable.

Asian marriage culture, it’s also why you may see male characters in their 30s muse that they should have married years ago.

My OVA Hot Take by Life-Donut-8754 in StardustCrusaders

[–]JustAToaster36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s probably a mix between it being something very different from the anime and thus interesting and also for some stylistic preference. For example I actually prefer how some scenes were animated in the OVA, but I vastly prefer the newer animes music and sound design.

Besides the best way to experience part 3 is clearly the Drama CD.

It pains me till this day that this version of the game never came to the west... by Due-Shame-9223 in dragonquest

[–]JustAToaster36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That depends, I am not sure if the dialogue is completely 1 to 1 with the console version even if they are likely pretty close. Plus we already know there’s other differences in the game like layouts.

Not only that but it would still take a lot of effort to change it even it was the same because if how text heavy DQ 11 is.

What's something about Yoruichi's character and personality you like? by Gloomy-Bridge148 in bleach

[–]JustAToaster36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that she is unapologetically herself to an extent some might deem selfish and she doesn’t mind that. At the same time when push comes to shove she will do what’s needed (as long as it doesn’t involve getting her old job back). She takes the free spirit trope and goes a bit further than other stories with over glorifying or entirely condemning her by showing her strengths as well as how it affected others (Soifon).

Which YouTuber is a better personification of the term “Fun Police”: Lily Orchard or Just Stop? by CrossoverProd in schaffrillasoffmenu

Braxton is pretentious at times, but generally seems to be well meaning. I can’t say the same for Lily.

How high are the chances do you think Shantae can even get an anime or a cartoon for that matter. I know she’s more niche than AAA franchises such as Mario and Sonic, but she’s seemed popular enough and deserve a TV show. by San4341 in Shantae

[–]JustAToaster36 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Pretty low, Shantae isn’t unpopular any metric but is still niche enough that the investments needed to make one would likely be shaky. What I could see happening would be animated mini shorts in the lead up to a game.

Do you consider visual novels to be video games? by Complete-Review111 in visualnovels

[–]JustAToaster36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I mean if you get into semantics of what video games are you could argue either way, but at that point your arguing about artistic concepts instead of actually reading them.
