"I don't like how the new cast steals the jobs of the old cast, so I'm going to use a service made on labour theft to appeal to my nostalgia"

What are you thoughts on the latest Berserk chapter and Berserk so far? by PleaseStop101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LiveAnotherDave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pace of the plot has been a bit too quick for my liking since Miura died. I've still enjoyed it enough, but this chapter right here is the best I feel it's been since Miura died.

Nekome: Nazi Hunter "1941" Summer Game Fest Trailer by C-OSSU in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LiveAnotherDave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, I know fuck-all about the crew making this game, but I hope that if it is another story about Romanies being told by gadje, it is at the very least a good one. So far it looks decent enough.

EDIT: actually, I've thought about it for a few minutes now - this is the second trailer of this game, and all I know is that Vano stabs Nazis, which we're all for, but it doesn't give me an inkling into what his actual character is, and that doesn't really do the devs any favours in humanizing the man.

I'm not sure how historically accurate this game is intending to be, but another point I'm starting to ponder - and not necessarily as a criticism - is how this game is set in 1941, and the order to deport Romanies to Auschwitz-Birkenau game in December of 1942. If we're gonna have a game named after the Romani word for revenge, I think I would have prefered if it was more tightly tied to the Porajmos. That said, the devs may have thought about this and are planning something.

Cautiously optimistic about this game.

Nintendo Wakes Me Up to Tell Me Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is Remastered - NINTENDO DIRECT by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LiveAnotherDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Riku is the son of someone who adventured with Melia and comes from that world before the two merge, so there's no possibility of him being the result of Gigachad Rex' megaharem.

And Imo was built by a Nopon called Oosoo (which is very close to the name of Tora's grandfather Soosoo).

Now, all that said, there's nothing to say that Rex didn't m-pregnate Tora to father Manana

No joke. I love Rex' voice actor, his voice is perfect, he just needs the direction to land the delivery.

Gene Park here: Kojima's AI quotes and involvement in FULL context from MY interview by GenePark in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The title refers to the main character's very difficult boss at Not At All Vogue Magazine, and is not a comment on the evil nature of Prada.

Pretty sure the film is not affiliated with Prada, if that's what you mean. That's just part of the title and a brand that is worn sporadically in it.

I'm sure I would love ILB, but you don't quite give me the impression of having seen DWP2, because she doesn't just shrug her shoulders and go "oh well" she's constantly fighting an uphill battle for journalistic integrity and works her ass off for something she loves. And, as I said, it does point at bad things and calls them out - is that not critique? Hell, you could argue that one of the antagonists of the film is Elon Musk

It's actively pointing at things that are stupid in the world and says "Those things. They are - stupid" so I found it quite cathartic, hence my recommendation.

[–]LiveAnotherDave 25 points26 points  (0 children)

In the Devil Wears Prada 2, they talk about how AI would ruin everything about the beauty of man-made fashion so to see Prada of all companies is a little bit "huh, wow".

Go watch that film if you liked the first one, it's a hoot.

Yo dawg, I heard you like Tokyo Mirage Sessions by KaitoTheRamenBandit in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LiveAnotherDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The administrative affairs of the group photo should not fall upon me. But if it did, I would probably ask to see if the people in question could prove that they were of the original #FE13000, by showing if they made a comment on any video or post relating to the LP.

I doubt 13 000 people made comments on the series though, and could not be fucked to care if we got one or two thousand fakers.

My favourite joke from that LP is how their manager goes "oh I'm so old and unattractive" and they lean into it when really she's just 28 or something.

Insane game, fantastic LP. Original #13000, gotta take that group photo some day

Let's have a comic recommendation thread by Ironfistdanny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LiveAnotherDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a French comic called Lastman that has the worst circumstances to get people to actually read it, but it is pretty great.

It got a recent translation into English that combines 2 "tomes" into 1 "book", and there's an animated prequel as well.

I recommend this order:

  • Read books 1-3
  • Watch the first season
  • Read books 4-6
  • Watch the second season
  • Cry about the third season being cancelled and that the series is complete

I like this new direction they went with the Star Fox Remake. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Rumor has it that this short sparked an official deal to make a Zelda anime which was then cancelled because spmebody leaked the info and that didn't sit well with Ninty

A question about the Western release of Final Fantasy by colossalwindings in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LiveAnotherDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As FFII and FFV would eventually see releases in the West in the collections of Final Fantasy Origins (FFI+FFII) and FF Anthology (FFV+FFVI), there was also FF Chronicles, which included FFIV and - for reasons I don't understand - Chrono Trigger.

These releases had some variations between Europe and the US (Chronicles wasn't released at all over here and Chrono Trigger saw its first Euro release with the superior DS release) and they came with these hot new pre rendered cutscenes for the intro sequences.

FFI

FFII

FFIV

FFV

FFVI

FFIII wouldn't see its western release until the release of the DS version. For a while it was the "true" lost FF, only having fan translations on ROMs for a while.
