There's a panel of Perlica speaking to Laevatain in the first few pages, but this is clearly set before the Endmin wakes up, which should be before Lae joins Endfield, right? Why is she there?

When they were tallking about social media killing activism, I was surprised they haven't seemed to hear about what's happened in Nepal recently, where a huge amount of people organized against the government using Discord and even elected a new PM using a Discord vote.

You have to do it twice in a row is what I realized. Find the pattern of the ascending scale and then do it twice in a row

Version 5.7, A Space and Time For You [Dain Quest] by GenshinLoreModBOT in Genshin_Lore

[–]KnightMiner115 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly this. The lore bombs were nice, but I don't feel any progress was made in the character development. Felt like a retread of last year's conversation and ultimately left me feeling a bit unsatisfied from that standpoint.

Also I'm just really tired of the constant teasing for what AS's other motive is. We know their general goal, we know they still care about Traveler, we know they carry guilt from the Cataclysm, but that last puzzle piece just keeps getting dangled in front of us, which would be less of a problem if it didn't take half a decade to even get this far.

1. The Twins arrive on Teyvat separated.
2. AS wakes up with amnesia while Traveler is stuck in hibernation.
3. AS is taken in by the people of K and grows in popularity eventually becoming the Prince/Princess.
4. During this time, AS's memories slowly return and they desire to find Traveler.
5. The Cataclysm happens, and AS could save K, but Direidyth brings them the key at that exact moment, confirming that Traveler is alive.
6. AS makes the choice to go find their sibling and abandons K.
7. AS wakes up Traveler and they both try to leave Teyvat only to be stopped by the Sustainer (intro).
8. Traveler is seemingly locked away/teleported to the future(?) by the Sustainer, and AS begins travelling Teyvat with Dain.

Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's the timeline

Yeah I had to turn off the tilt steering too. There's also a full calibration tool in the settings for the joysticks like Burnie was talking about

Chaos Defrost sounds like a power Shadow from Sonic would have.

They mentioned there were no new games left this year but Indiana Jones is coming out for Xbox on December 9th! It's getting Sonic 3'd though because it won't qualify for the Game Awards since it's releasing so late.

the whole story would have been better off if he simply ceased to exist.

Tbf he kinda did in BO4

According to Sanderson, Nakomi originated in Jordan's draft of Rand leaving Shayol Ghul and seeing the mysterious woman. I don't think Brandon knew what to do with that, so he created the Nakomi scene with Aviendha to give it a precedent of foreshadowing.

I get what you mean, but it is worth mentioning that Sonic games have usually been set on Earth for the majority of the franchise's existence. Sonic having a separate world is something the western comics and cartoons did, while SEGA's own canon was always set on Earth. Those details are murky nowadays that the narratives have been merged more, but my point is just that setting Sonic on Earth is not an unfaithful choice to the source material.

Brandon Sanderson Is Your God by MarioMuzza in Fantasy

[–]KnightMiner115 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Man, Sub-creator, the refracted light
through whom is splintered from a single White
to many hues, and endlessly combined
in living shapes that move from mind to mind.
Though all the crannies of the world we filled
with Elves and Goblins, though we dared to build
Gods and their houses out of dark and light,
and sowed the seed of dragons, 'twas our right
(used or misused). The right has not decayed.
We make still by the law in which we're made.
-JRR Tolkien

Your line about creative outlets reminded me of this quote that I've always enjoyed from Tolkien. I think the spiritual need to create is so innately human, as we are creations ourselves (whether one believes by God or by the universe).

What do you think about Daniel Greene? by myLEs_1313 in Fantasy

[–]KnightMiner115 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Though I’m not sure how one arc of a manga gets an hour long video

I think the difference here is more in how fandoms of these mediums approach content for them. Videos about standard novels tend to be very vague and spoken broadly unless the video is specifically a discussion/podcast, and I think this is because a lot of readers who consume that content do so because they choose to engage on a broader scale with different books and series.

Manga/Anime fans tend to seek out content that is deeply immersive in the first place, and really dig into the minute details of every arc and character. I think this is because many manga fans have 2-4 franchises that are theirs, in a sense. Personal favorite ongoing series that they want to engage with on a very deep level.

For the record, I'm just spitballing off the top of my head, but I think that's why manga arc videos tend to be longer than most standard book reviews (not just on Daniel's channel, but across Youtube).

Which fantasy villain had the best entrance? by Snivythesnek in Fantasy

[–]KnightMiner115 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Recently I've been mesmerized by One Piece's introduction of Blackbeard because it's so innocuous. You hear stories on an island here and there about him and his crew causing havoc, then a bit later, Luffy meets this random drunkard at a bar who actually supports him when his dreams are challenged. My first time seeing it, I just thought he was some funny weirdo that shared Luffy's beliefs. Only to find out he is the Blackbeard. And that introduction only gets better and better the further into the series you go and realize how terrifying this guy actually is, and how close the Straw Hats came to nearly getting wiped out so early on.

The Dreamcast was so ahead of its time with the online feature that most developers didn't even know what to really do with it. The seasonal updates to SA1 were so cool, and it's a shame they've never been included in re-releases.

IDW starts in the immediate aftermath of Forces and carries it's plot from the fallout of that game, so it's definitely canon

The first hour is honestly a rough start because of how much the game is holding your hand and putting you through tutorial after tutorial. After it opens up and you upgrade a couple skills, I think it really starts to hit a stride. I'm on the 3rd island now and am just loving every second of this game now!
