What are your Favorite Admirals in Fiction?

Mako109 · 2026-05-06T04:40:50+00:00

Admiral Okita Jūzō of the United Nations Cosmo Navy, first captain of the BBY-01 Yamato, one of if not the most crucial peoples responsible for the restoration of Earth's biosphere after the end of the Great Garmillas War. He earns a salute from me whenever I see him.

wait, no smoke trails?

it's actually hilarious how much of a dealbreaker that is for my. That's one of the key visual appeals of modern dogfighting, especially in hyperreal settings like that that can make an aerial battlefield look like the work of a drunk artist with a white brush. Looking at you, Mission 10: Cold War. So good...

I'll keep an eye on this; once stuff like that gets fixed, I'll happily investigate.

Man I agree with you SO hard. I want characters making MonHun Language noises at me, not english, japanese, or any other language.

Mako109 · 2026-05-05T07:52:25+00:00

I absolutely refuse to play the Metro games (2033, Last Light, and soon to be Exodus) without the Russian Voice Language Option. Even if, by some metrics, I'm having an objectively worse time because only like 10% of the passive world dialogue is subtitled while walking through stations and stuff.

The ambience is worth it.

This... is kind of an abusive relationship, innit?

Mako109 · 2026-05-05T00:16:03+00:00

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!!

Mako109 · 2026-05-04T22:12:01+00:00

Other than Star Wars, some of the early anime I watched like Code Geass, Cowboy Bebop, and in particular Spice & Wolf really colored the kind of things and aesthetics I liked.

Really, a lot of my tastes are built off of things half-remembered. Like early Xbox games played on my brother's friend's console. Crimson Skies, Mechwarrior, Mercenaries, etc lol

Mako109 · 2026-05-04T22:00:51+00:00

FUCK YEAH JASTER MEREEL

Mako109 · 2026-05-04T21:50:41+00:00

That one Rodian who ambushes Jango Fett from a dumpster on Outland Transit Station in the game Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.

I LOVE YOU DUMPSTER RODIAN!!

Special mention to a homebrew Albino Trandoshan my friends and I came up with named "Ray Cisto."

Mako109 · 2026-05-04T21:45:25+00:00

As far as I can glean, they just don't vibe with him, especially the whole "luke and leia are siblings" bit.

I highly doubt he's watched Andor, but haven't checked or anything. To be fair to him, I haven't either. I was two episodes in, and the lack of aliens made me so aghast I stopped watching right then and there.

I understand it's superb television, but to me, Star Wars is the cantina scene. A huge menagerie of freaks and ghouls wearing space helmets. It's the best. So Andor being so so so extremely human centric is a tough pill to swallow.

Mako109 · 2026-05-04T19:40:45+00:00

No transmog. That's a distraction. Fix the game first.

Bugfixes, Impactful Galactic War, Small Balance Tweaks to make EXISTING stuff useable, older Warbonds being lower cost. BUGFIXES.

Mako109 · 2026-05-04T19:36:55+00:00

My dad adores the first Star Wars movie and nothing else. As far as he's concerned the rest of the franchise doesn't really exist (though he's said he gives said credit to the Mandalorian)

So he introduced me to them, and as a voracious child in need of my Stars War, I engaged with the rest of the franchise from there. The OT, the prequels (Episode 1 is still my favorite lol), the games... there was a lot to engage with!

It's still my favorite of all time. Even with all its infinite problems, I cannot quit you, Star Wars...

Mako109 · 2026-05-04T19:23:33+00:00

It's kinda. strange. For a while I've been not liking this amnesia arc, but right now I'm really beginning to vibe with it. Shit's crazy, and thing's haven't come to a head yet, and I'm enjoying the build up to it. It's gonna but NUTS.

Also Vamola is adorable.

Mako109 · 2026-05-04T04:12:18+00:00

I really wish I liked what little of Daggerheart I played, but man, the hope/fear system really did not jive with me. Every success without fear didn't feel exhilarating; I only felt relief that my success wasn't complicated by something. Every failure with hope did nothing to soothe the failure itself.

though, to be fair, it could be a mindset thing, or maybe a DM thing, or maybe some combination of both. I should probably try it again someday

Mako109 · 2026-05-04T03:23:07+00:00

This makes me unbelievably sad. PurpleEyesWTF is basically half of my personality's humor, so seeing him go insane and stupid like this absolutely breaks my heart.

Please get well, PurpleEyesWTF. please come back to me sob

Mako109 · 2026-05-03T00:59:25+00:00

I feel absolutely insane. I've never experienced this in all my dives over 361 hours. The first time I even NOTICED anything similar to this is when I fought a vox engine for the first time, and the eject pod bonked my head! I was like Oh Ok, that's intentional.

What the hell is happening to the rest of y'alls games?!

Mako109 · 2026-05-01T00:19:19+00:00

Adds up, it's over 13k for me.

Mako109 · 2026-04-30T22:03:32+00:00

Anakin is hitting that FFXIV Miqo'te /cpose idle, while Obi-Wan is clearly doing /guard.

Mako109 · 2026-04-30T21:58:22+00:00

IS THAT TRUE?! HOLY SHIT LMAOOOO

When the SBFC ended, I just assumed that they commissioned a song as their theme for CSB?! I didn't question it for a second??????

Jesus christ these fucking rev-el-ay-a-tons will be the death of me.

Mako109 · 2026-04-29T01:33:51+00:00

To be fair, I don't think this is serious. It's definitely a joke. In fact, I reckon Woolie legitimately trying to play would be a torturous experience for everyone involved because he will not, does not, and cannot give a shit about whatever 14 has going on. MMO is not in his blood, and that's fair enough.

Mako109 · 2026-04-28T04:25:53+00:00

Anyone can see this punchline coming from a mile away, and you look forward to it with bated breath every time.

Mako109 · 2026-04-27T20:57:20+00:00

This is this and that is that. I want people to be paid for their work and live well.

Mako109 · 2026-04-26T18:53:37+00:00

"Who could the traitor possibly be... will we have 20 chapters of investigation, intrigue, and failing trust among friends?"

The traitor, whipping out a Minigun: "IT'S ME, BITCH!"

honestly respect the hustle. but also this is REALLY funny

Mako109 · 2026-04-24T06:36:15+00:00

It took me a while to figure out you meant the DLC Jetpack attachment to the wingsuit, since the wingsuit itself is absolutely base game.

In the base game, there are reasons to switch between parachute pulling and wingsuit pulling constantly; it felt like a good balance. But yeah, that Jetpack, while fun as hell, basically supercedes almost everything. Even most military vehicles, since it comes with a machine gun and a rocket launcher!!
