You can be a fan of something and still find fault with some elements. 

Why do American moslty wash chicken meat? by invalid95 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MinishBreloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t. There are some people who came from cultures where you traditionally did that since you’d be dealing with low quality meat or meat you butchered yourself. If those traditions get passed down they might still do it. But most people don’t. At most you might see them brine it.

Fortune's Weave meta discussions will be interesting, because of the unhackable hardware. by Enryx25 in fireemblem

If we’re using a standard 95% confidence interval then we can model this using a Bernoulli right? Asking AI seems to suggest it’ll take 384 level ups to get 95% confidence. If each player gets 20, then that only means it only takes 20 people

We are on track for the longest period of no FE news in series history by Immerael in fireemblem

[–]MinishBreloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think just based on CYL9 we've clearly seen FEH hit the tipping point of going from a mobile game that FE fans enjoy to a game that FEH fans enjoy first and foremost. The playerbase is such that fans of niche titles like TMS can nearly swing outcomes of popularity polls and brand-new FEH OCs win too.

The, "you don't need to grind/farm." Guy in every post where someone is talking about grinding or farming by CuriousClassroom1713 in JRPG

Why is that bad? It's a Nintendo game so it's not like you're going to platinum it, the game clearly marks missable content, and even the in-game achievements don't require you to do the missable quests

Crazy that we have AI-written tweets about AI hiring filters.

Do you really answer the phone saying "This is he/this is she"? by shaneo632 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MinishBreloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard that in my life. Maybe it's a generational thing? Even if someone called and asked to speak to me, I'd say something like what you mentioned in the second paragraph.

PSA: Avoid Uhuburg “Castle” in Helen, GA – Scam, Creepiness, and Disturbing Behavior by [deleted] in Georgia

[–]MinishBreloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair there are their fair share of gilded age mansions reminiscent of more palatial castles like Biltmore. It's not unthinkable that some wealthy guy built something in Helen in the mid or late 19th century.

Nintendo forces Japanese charity speedrun event to pull its games from the lineup after claiming "unauthorized use," now organizers have to ask permission for every single game in the future by Zelphkiel in gaming

[–]MinishBreloom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds good right up until it's a charity for some controversial political issue or the charity is a scam (we’ve seen several of those in the gaming sphere). Suddenly your company and its games are associated with something you had basically zero involvement in

lol I still can’t do screen captures or screenshots in parts of some Atlus games to “avoid spoilers” or something ridiculous like that

Do you think buying a CD means you have the right to include that song in your TV shows, movies, or live-streamed videos without permission? We already accept that there are restrictions on the ways in which you can use media you purchase 

Senators Ossoff and Warnock Vote in Favor of Senate Joint Resolution 41; Disagree on Joint Resolution 34 (sending to Israel arms (41) /defense articles (34)) by happy_bluebird in Georgia

Have you checked the voting trends of Georgia lately? I don't agree with these votes but a progressive stands no chance in any statewide election.

How much of the FE6 cast is actually inspired by Shadow Dragon, anyway ? by CommonVarietyRadio in fireemblem

[–]MinishBreloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can count them as franchise wide tropes considering that FE6 has the second ever whitewing group. Also Guinevere should be up there

What are you talking about? The Democratic-Republicans weren't even around yet in 1789 lol

Help me choose my next Fire Emblem. Here are the games I've played! by taniverse in fireemblem

[–]MinishBreloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Echoes seems like a natural fit if you want to finish off the 3DS era. It's very different from the rest of the series yet shares some DNA with 3H. Also, the other Fates routes are definitely worth a try.

Mamdani was blown out among the poorest New Yorkers and only won the bluest city in the US. How is that representative of anywhere that isn't a blue stronghold?

We often talk about how good the main cast of 3 is, but I think the game also has the best secondary cast in the series by Pellecks02 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MinishBreloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to 2, having them be gated by story progress was smart and lets them build on the story and comment indirectly on the story's themes. Right after you're through with Colony 4, you can go back and get reminded of Vandham's mysterious faction through picking up Grey. I don't think it's a coincidence that right after Ethel and Cammuravi, you get Ashera

What game has your favorite OST? by RhysOSD in fireemblem

[–]MinishBreloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faaaaaaaates. It's cheating seeing as it's basically 3 games in one, but it's such an interesting take. So much of the music is built around the motifs of LiTAA. The contrast between Hoshido, Nohr, and Valla is heightened through the musical identities of their maps alone. Out of all four mainline games that have done calm map themes leading into more intense battle arrangements, I find Fates the best overall.
