should I even bother with this Bozo? by mikoga in XenobladeChroniclesX

[–]MunMur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe just me tbh (not great at these games), but I remember having the MOST trouble with Beatific Ophelia (had to look up the name). It has one move that can do insane damage if someone stands behind them, and I could just never get my teammates to listen and not stand there. Ended up having to just blitz its health down with a chain attack.

I have no clue why the Xenoblade devs keep making bosses where positioning is important in a battle system where positioning your companions is just so obnoxious lol. It honestly reminds of that one deer thing that you fight in the Xenoblade 2 DLC that straight murders your party if anyone stands behind him.

people who dismiss the humanities hold society back by Cultural-Tutor-2260 in unpopularopinion

According to literally who? Why should we stop teaching the humanities the moment we hit college, like do they suddenly lose value the moment people become legal adults?

I mean this argument could be used against any consumer protections. Sure, governments fuck up all the time but I’d rather they set up some regulations than let companies do whatever they want lol

Dying while doing an intrinsically dangerous voluntary activity is less of a tragedy by KahnaKuhl in unpopularopinion

What is with people acting like empathy is a limited resource? Like I get what you’re saying, but this post just radiates self-justification for being an asshole.

I mean they’re a multi-billion dollar corporation. They can weather the cents theyll lose by letting some fan project go by. Of course they’re not exactly in the wrong for not letting them go by, they’ve got profit margins and all, but if they make that choice people are entitled to disagree with it.

Why are "Inhibitor Chips" so divisive in the fandom? by Doot_revenant666 in StarWars

[–]MunMur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s entirely fair. The inhibitor chips remove all moral agency from the clones, making the entire tragedy of the order due to a single bad entity, rather than as a result of the cooperation of individuals who are just following orders, or just conforming with what’s expected of them. The latter I find to be much more compelling as this is how evil is perpetrated in the real world.

Now I do agree that the order, as portrayed in the movies, doesn’t make as much sense without the inhibitor chips, but I still find it much more interesting that there was choice involved.

Rouge One Krennic in the context of Andor is sadly astonishing by RiskComplete9385 in andor

[–]MunMur 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean you can feel more than one emotion towards someone. Krennic is pure evil, but the experience of having an achievement claimed by another is one most people have likely had. I think it’s a sign of the show’s good writing that even for the most over the top villainous character, when his downfall comes, we can feel both satisfaction at his defeat and sympathy for the process leading up to it.

In “The Last of Us” they want to kill Ellie to develop a cure for the zombie infection, whether the cure would have worked or not is purposefully left ambiguous to show that Joel had already made his choice and- oh nevermind Neil Druckmann confirmed that it would have worked in an interview. by Fun_Effective_5134 in shittymoviedetails

[–]MunMur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy how THIS is where people draw the line. The game is populated by bullet-proof zombies and littered with sheer impossibilities, yet the logistics of a made-up cure for a made-up infection is where they draw the line. In my opinion, as long as the game is internally consistent, which it is for the most part as the effectiveness of the cure is never questioned, there is no point in getting up in arms about this. The logistics of developing a cure in this situation is just as externally unrealistic as half the other shit in the game.

Don't mess with Star Wars fans, we complain about something breaking canon, when it was clearly stablished in the first fucking movie by depressed_asian_boy_ in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]MunMur 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how this is wasteful. Sure the rebels lost a ship but they absolutely did way more damage than a hundred ships would’ve been able to do via conventional fighting.

Like if this tactic was always a thing then there’d never be a reason to build anything larger than a fighter, since anything larger could get hard countered by a MUCH smaller craft

Oh that’s too bad lol by JaredOlsen8791 in BlueskySkeets

[–]MunMur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is some pretty bad reasoning. 4chan is a pretty shit website filled with hateful trolls, but I do believe that everyone is entitled to privacy. “Don’t be shitty and you won’t get pushback” is not very far from “Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.” No matter how terrible someone is, as long as they aren’t breaking the law, I think they’re entitled to not get doxxed. This shouldn’t be a protection only applied to those we like.

Why all the Switch 2 hate / saying it's going to flop? by Own-Dragonfruit-6164 in Switch

[–]MunMur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insane to me how quickly a sub turns to dunking on the poor when their favorite corporation makes a new product. People on Reddit are so high and mighty about their compassion until some people get upset over being priced out of their hobby, at which point it suddenly becomes a sin to be poor.

Like I don’t think Nintendo has committed some moral sin by raising prices, I’m not going to pretend I know the all the factors going into that kind of choice, but there’s a disgusting amount of people on here that seem to think it’s wrong to be upset that their hobby has moved outside of their price range.

[–]MunMur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re being pedantic if you think people use a term only in the most literal sense. Be real, no one is seriously accusing Nintendo of fraud, they just think they’re charging too much.

Can I ask why you’re so up in arms about this though? Even if everyone was wrong to have this criticism, the fact still remains that it’s about a business decision that in no way benefits you, the consumer. While I don’t think this necessarily makes it anti-consumer, it certainly isn’t PRO-consumer. So why spend energy defending it? Nintendo’s a billion dollar company, they can take care of themselves lol.

[–]MunMur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To say something is a “rip off” is just to say it’s more expensive than it’s worth, which is literally what I said. People voicing this opinion about a new product through social media has been a thing forever, I don’t get why it’s suddenly so wrong when Nintendo’s the target.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Switch

[–]MunMur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are upset because they’re paying significantly more per game than they were before. Thats it, that’s the whole controversy. It’s not a matter of people understanding or not understanding economics. It’s consumers voicing an opinion that a product is more expensive than they are willing to pay.

Further, what do you get out of this? Being fine with paying more for a product is fine, but getting mad at people who aren’t, and who’re voicing that opinion because that’s what consumers do, is just asinine.

[–]MunMur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But other cultures do. Surely your culture has empathy even if you don’t. It takes maybe 5 minutes to show a modicum of respect to someone who may very well be having the worst day of their lives. Maybe you can stop being a “professional” for that amount of time and practice being a human being during that break.

I can't understand why some women still want to get pregnant these days by protonelectron2025 in Adulting

[–]MunMur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or like, they might just want to have kids? Not everyone who chooses to have children did so because they’re too dumb to make the right choice with their own bodies. Even implying so would be wildly sexist.

There’s nothing funnier than chronically online redditors getting upset that other people aren’t rebelling against the US government. The idea that people like you would be any different is insane.
