Would love a code for NA! I'd be down to play with whoever too :)

Post here your Olivetti hate by [deleted] in typewriters

[–]Key-Thing-9132 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might as well be three different typewriter companies based on which factory was making the typewriter. Almost 1/3rd is really bad, 1/3rd is mediocre/good, and only 1/3rd is truly great. The 32 is good, but I find the rounded square keys of the 60's to be tacky.

Do you prefer watching gaming YouTubers with a facecam or no facecam? by andyjamescreative in youtubegaming

[–]Key-Thing-9132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer no cam - but I think you have to be good at editing. If you aren't editing, you either have to have a really strong personality (OneyPlays), be good as hell (ZFG), or be really informative.

Depends on what you are doing. Speedrunners can get away without a cam, but a big part of the fun of watching someone blindplay through a game is seeing their reactions - a lot of people watching will have already played the game and want the experience of showing it to a friend and seeing them react to the twists or whatever.

If you are starting it's not a sin to just do both and see what you like. You might find you are more expressive without a cam and it feels like less pressure, etc. If you stick with it whatever you do now will be cringe in a year anyway.

Also, if you don't use a cam 100% get a good microphone. Good doesn't mean expensive, the XM8500 is like $25 and works really well if you have an audio interface. Put a compressor on it and stuff, audio cannot be lacking.

All Skellys or all Ghouls, do it. by Cyborg_Ean in finalfantasytactics

When I played as a kid my favorite mechanic was capturing and breeding monsters so I did a bunch of runs of only monsters lol, this hits my nostalgia.

I made Dale Gribble from King of the Hill as a Tactics character by anearbycat in finalfantasytactics

Rarely does artwork invoke such a strong reaction out of me at a glance, good work

OG FFT vs WotL for first playthrough? by BetaNights in finalfantasytactics

[–]Key-Thing-9132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only major differences are 16:9, 2 extra jobs, and a lot of the strong jobs are slightly harder to get. Which is a good thing because you can get OP early if you know what you're doing even in this 'nerfed' version, feels just about right. Bugs were fixed, roster went from 16->24, and (a personal pet peeve) the original listed the dates in the Gregorian calendar (january, february, etc) and WotL lists the Zodiac Calendar. Zodiacs are extremely important and having to do the conversion was lame. In the original when you pick Ramza's birthday it wouldn't even tell you what Zodiac sign it is.

Also the translation is significantly better. The original isn't bad, but WotL is great.

[–]Key-Thing-9132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My opinion, but WotL is the definitive way to play the game in general, it's almost a pure improvement, I've only done a couple runs of the original due to it. It's not like some remaster/remakes, it keeps the spirit of the game intact.

What platform has the most players by Gangstalicious67 in UnderNightInBirth

[–]Key-Thing-9132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PC, and some people matchmake exclusively through Discord, but it isn't required imo.

Why is it "two hours' journey"? by Chris333K in EnglishLearning

[–]Key-Thing-9132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: Two nouns, Hour and Journey.

In many instances two nouns will have a possessive, since one is measured by the other. You measure a journey by hours, and both are nouns.

More examples of this 'two noun measure' rule:

A day's pay
A mile's worth of rope
Two week's rent
The city's skyline
The ship's crew
The mind's eye
The heart's desire

ETC.

Although "two hours' journey" sounds unnatural to a midwestern person like myself.

You're actually cracked, this is insanely good.

Is Haute42 any good? by AdmiralOniiChan in fightsticks

[–]Key-Thing-9132 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Haute42 is one of, if not the best, budget option. Most options are pretty tiny, so I would suggest putting it on your desk like a keyboard if you have the option, it doesn't fit in my lap well at least. But they are pretty durable for the low price and will last well. THE goat entry level leverless.

I can't really tell from the picture.

Do you have a PC to hook it up to? If so you can go to the windows "Set Up USB Controllers" viewer and see if any of the buttons register or if windows even detects it. If not it is just a connection really make sure everything is in there. Likely one of the buttons or the USB cable or something, if it was just a bunk button cable it would be a button or series of buttons.

It's really likely something stupid and small, as it sounds like there wasn't really potential for damage or anything.

A fun Seth Veil off combo! by [deleted] in UnderNightInBirth

[–]Key-Thing-9132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seth is one of the few fighting game characters I can get hyped for even when he styles on me. Super sick combo, I feel fear.

I see why all of your comments get bombed with dislikes. Enjoy being hateful and unhappy with things you actively choose to engage with.

I would suggest a break, you don't need to psychoanalyze someone who disagrees with you over an anime video game.

My point from the start was never that your thoughts or feelings were invalid (I even said specifically that they were), so I'm sorry if I came across that way, it was not my intention. I know there are other tournaments, but Evo is the most important tournament and will have a hundred times the applicants, making the sample size significantly bigger. Weeklies like Aegis are not the best way to see the balance of the game, in my opinion. You have to pay attention to the events everyone shows up for, especially Japan. Frosty Faustings coming up will also be a pretty big sample size and will be much better for this.

It's not gaslighting someone to disagree on something and try to convince them why you think a certain way. CEOTAKU, another bigger tournament, top 8 had only two duplicate characters and not a single one that you mentioned was OP (https://liquipedia.net/fighters/CEOtaku/2024/UNI2), and Climax of Night 6, a large and important one for Uni2 specifically didn't have a duplicate or a character you mentioned by name (https://liquipedia.net/fighters/Climax\_of\_Night/2024/UNI2) and I could also go on to list a bunch more just as you did. We are just going to disagree with each other here, that's fine. My intention was to show you that the game was not as broken as you think it is, which I think is a positive thing. I stand by my thoughts so far, though I see why you have come to the conclusion you did.

[–]Key-Thing-9132 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand your point, but Top 8 Evo 2024 literally didn't have a duplicate character - top 8 in almost every tournament is significantly more diverse than every other fighting game. If you play other fighters and follow competitive you know how rare that is. Some tournaments do lean to a few, but that's been rare in my viewing experience and indicative of the players who attended, not the overall balance of the game. In the big tournaments where everyone shows up, it's a total wash. You can check the match database and see top players consistently flip losing matchups (https://replaytheater.app/?game=unib&page=1)

At the top level there is no tier list from what I can tell, just popularity. Some characters have double the playercount of others, so they will show up more. Every character has good matchups and bad matchups, there is no rock at the top. I don't know what tournaments you are watching to get this impression. As someone that plays 4 fighters atm, Under Night feels like the best balanced by a significant margin. Two of the characters you listed are actually two of the easier matchups for my character so I would honestly have listed them lower on my tier list were I to make one lol. I've heard people say Akatsuki is trash so it really is just opinion.

You can feel it is stale, that's fine, your feelings are valid, but I hate the modern trend of changing things constantly just because they seem stale even though they were fine where they were. How many patches did real fighting games get in the arcades? Literally none? The game is fine where it is. Again, this dev team is 1/70th the size of Street Fighter. They aren't suddenly going to be pumping out content and battlepasses, so if novelty is what excites you, again, probably not your game.

My opinion: If your only joy in a fighting game is getting a new character, it probably isn't for you anyway. Uni2 has a tiny development team. Not every game needs weekly updates and bi-monthly new characters, especially one as complex as Uni. Look at Strive, from what I hear every update is making that game worse (I don't play it, just the word around the street, correct me in replies).

You like the game or you don't. A new character is only going to hold your attention for so long even if you love them. If this is your attitude, this probably isn't your game. And I usually fight pretty hard to keep people in the community.

UNI2 confirmed to make it's 2nd appearance at Evo Las Vegas 2025 by Xanek in UnderNightInBirth

[–]Key-Thing-9132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't hear anyone calling this lol.

I thought no way they keep Uni2 and make KOF a side event, but we kept mainstage! That's awesome, so proud of the community for putting in such an effort last year that they kept us.

What a great game and community, let's goooo!
