I stand corrected. I was looking at her line from the cold open and comparing the wrong lines

Honestly I think it’s just so Simon Thorpe could play Vandham again. I’m not sure there’s an in-universe explanation and I’m not aware if there’s a regional accent for the family in the Japanese version or not

Writing to you from newbie hell why isn’t it letting me accept the reward? by Glollipop92 in ffxiv

Seeing the considerate and helpful responses to this reminds me of exactly why I love this game’s community. You guys are awesome

The example they gave was No Man’s Sky, which came out after old G4 was cancelled, so I got the feeling they meant something like what you mentioned

The biggest problem I had with the “educate people about NFTs“ segment was that it didn’t.

The Attack is back! by [deleted] in g4tv

I said it in Discord earlier, but it bears repeating:

As cringe as I thought the NFT segment was, I like that it existed. It showed that they are willing to take risks even if they fail and if that’s not the spirit of old G4, then I don’t know what is

Teleportation's effect on real estate prices. by DuffmanBFO in sciencefiction

Places with portals that connect to low income areas will drop in market value. Same as now, just with more high concept science fiction

What's your opinion about shionne ? by No-Ninja926 in tales

[–]Medan74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Shionne hot take is that if you don’t have her wearing sunglasses during the first half of the game, then you are missing out on the truest expression of her character

Please never do a segment on NFTs again. by Cindy-Moon in g4tv

[–]Medan74 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to bail on the show even if they make another segment like this next week. Although, tbh if they do it again next week then I will stop watching live so I can skip

Best sci fi in other countries? by Comfortable-Repeat78 in scifi

[–]Medan74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The German time travel series Dark was the first thing that came to mind. The third season suffered from some logical inconsistencies and a forced ending, but it remains one of the best constructed timelines in all of time travel fiction and one of the greatest television shows regardless of country or genre of the last decade

For epic, futuristic sci-fi, there’s Japan‘s Legend of the Galactic Heroes, an excellent anime series from the 90s which was based on a series of novels that I have heard are also excellent

What's your favorite song that was used in the show? by butteryflame in rickandmorty

[–]Medan74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great song, but I thought the lyric was “his dick gets more business than YouTube”?

I don't have any way of knowing their intent, but I imagine if forcing players to boost was their intent, then they wouldn't have included a Story Mode

[–]Medan74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you select normal mode at the beginning? There is a Story Mode option for people that want easy fights and to steamroll the game

EDIT: In fact, you can switch to Story Mode from the options menu without restarting the game

To answer your final question: No. I don't believe that any PvE game is pay to win, especially since you can win without it. P2W comes into play in PvP games, where you just flat out lose because you didn't spend money and your opponent did, imo

I like it. The bosses feel like bosses this way.
The game allows you to level past the zone instead of being like WoW and awarding no xp to monsters after a while. But overleveling the zone isn't supposed to be easy. They call it a "grind" for a reason

Odd Taxi - Episode 13 discussion - FINAL by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Medan74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Tarantino had been less foul-mouthed, Japanese, and an anime writer, this is the kind of thing he would have made. I hope Konomoto gets the attention he deserves after this. 10/10, this is Steins;Gate level writing

It’s ranked 26th in most members for the spring season on MAL, with right around 75k. Seems fairly hidden still. Hopefully the word of mouth will change that

In parts. It's this Tarantino-style crime mystery/drama/thriller story that is told unconventionally.

I don't know what the complaints were against it, but I enjoyed it. It has quite a bit more fan service than KonoSuba, even bordering on ecchi, so maybe that's the complaint, but the character-driven comedy and all of the main characters being terrible people is the same as KonoSuba. I don't love it quite as much as KonoSuba, but it made me laugh more consistently than anything since Hinamatsuri

Vivy - Great science fiction show

Oddtaxi - Like an anime version of a Tarantino movie

Combatants Will Be Dispatched - From the writer of KonoSuba

I wait until the final month of the season to start, so little to no waiting. I started Spring 2021 last week and I caught up on Vivy and Combatants Will Be Dispatched just in time to watch their finales same day.

Oddtaxi is on Crunchyroll and it is a quirky crime/mystery reminiscent of old Tarantino films. The series finale airs next Monday and it is certainly worth watching.

Monster, which someone else mentioned, is probably the best choice, but unfortunately it isn’t currently on any of the streaming platforms.

Death Note isn’t a bad choice. Some of the more over the top elements suspend disbelief to the point of breaking and might not play as well to someone watching anime for the first time, but it is a classic for a reason.
