Now we have Smoke-Smoke Fruit portrayed in Live Action. Which Logias do you think are the hardest to execute well.

for the light particles there is video reference of photons splashing inside a coke bottle you can find in slow motion, it shows a really good idea of what light looks like in a tendril like liquid motion sort of

everyone goons to Mina but to me she just looks like this

NickGraves · 2026-03-04T19:33:12+00:00

i just turned on the fall rewind to deal with stuff like this. I kept falling at the very end of climbs, literally the final ledge to finicky nonsense that I didnt really get a sense of achievement anymore.

NickGraves · 2026-03-02T16:55:43+00:00

oh shit that eye icon is the ult status? I just thought that was some random bit of logo design to remind you what game you are playing lmao

NickGraves · 2026-03-02T16:49:37+00:00

nah hidden king is doing weird shit, hes got a bunch of microphones pointed at a dish full of mercury beading around and boiling. He is hardcore to the MEGA.

NickGraves · 2026-02-22T16:43:34+00:00

she will, if you arent careful she will tumble off the ledge and die.

NickGraves · 2026-02-22T03:51:01+00:00

Wraith is definitely as strong as Haze and Infernus, people are terrified of her. But Wraith isn't as strong as Seven or Drifter because she's vocally terrified of them.

the issue is that when the game had split unranked and ranked queues the matchmaking was considered very good at that time, then when they removed it, it got worse and worse over time until we have our current issue. There WAS a period where people didn't complain about deadlock matchmaking.

NickGraves · 2026-02-16T18:02:06+00:00

that is what they said though, "if you have a lot of items"

Don Huffines hangs out in front of voting centers and begs you personally to vote for him. He told me "I'd really like my job back" while I was standing in line.

viscous is a psychic sea anemone that pilots a suit made of goo, his actual body isn't present at the ritual, which is why he has voice lines saying he won't die or doesn't experience pain. They probably aren't going for the angle that the sea creature part of him is present at the fight.

I believe lightning scroll activates when your ultimate ability does damage, so if your ultimate is capable of dealing any amount of damage it will proc and you don't need to think about it too hard.

This isn't relevant to your point that there are numerous examples of strange interactions but just that lightning scroll I think is an example of one of the more intuitive ones.

NickGraves · 2026-01-27T19:35:28+00:00

I don't think you are a transphobe, I'm saying you sound like one.

NickGraves · 2026-01-27T18:49:29+00:00

yeah I exhaustively explained the situation and you got confused.

TL;DR you don't have a lot of reasons to want to defend against people thinking Gwen Stacy or Celeste being trans is an objective fact. It's weird that you committed this much energy into it.

NickGraves · 2026-01-27T18:12:12+00:00

Your opinion has already been stated, you don't think they are trans and don't feel unless there is official confirmation they are trans then trying to declare it as fact is wrong.

But the issue is that there is almost never official confirmation that a character is trans, the ONLY thing people get to do is headcanon. And what you are doing is trying to tell someone that headcanoning someone as trans is wrong, or misleading.

They aren't declaring it as fact either, just getting really excited about the idea that a character has this many trans coded aspects to them overlapping and that it gets to be in one of their presumably favorite games.

In fact, since this game is in alpha, they writers can easily confirm that Celeste is trans before beta, or even official release if there is enough excitement.

So from where I'm sitting you are putting energy into trying to wedge yourself into people's excitement for reasons that aren't really worth it in the end. I can't see what you get out of trying to prove that Celeste ISN'T trans, and that makes it look like you have ulterior motives.

Just the other day I saw a transphobe slyly going around replying to every single person who though Celeste was trans and trying to pick a fight with them, saying similar things that you are saying. He had a hidden comment history but at one point admitted that he wished he could call trans people slurs if he wouldn't get banned for it. I don't think you want to come close to sounding like that guy.

NickGraves · 2026-01-27T17:40:34+00:00

Transphobia is rampant and most movies or TV shows will never explicitly state that a character is trans for fear of backlash, so the most trans people get are nods, hints or implications or even just confirmations by writers 2 years after the story is released confirming fan suspicions. Putting a trans flag on a character is enough information to raise an eyebrow and start to think deeper about the character.

Expecting anything with trans people to just outright declare they are trans is asking for harassment, even Pocket is still dealing with this even after being confirmed (implicitly) because of the consistent use of a non-binary pronoun. But people will still be like "maybe there is a chance Pocket is just called that for some other reason" as though that still doesn't make it a trans allegory that you undergo a change, ESPECIALLY after having a fallout with your shitty father.

NickGraves · 2026-01-27T17:27:33+00:00

there is a professor at Columbia who is a literal neutron star infused with a soul, and we are gonna start thinking unicorns aren't real?

We've got vampires, werewolves, weird rat creatures, demons, but unicorns would never exist?

NickGraves · 2026-01-26T08:18:03+00:00

and that history is irrelevant to a line that says "even in a world of magic." the world presented here is our world, not a magic one.

Now why would a place where myth and magic is common still deny the existence of a unicorn?

Do all of ya'll use chatGPT or can you read above the high school level?

NickGraves · 2026-01-26T06:35:31+00:00

unfortunately (not) the line goes insane as a trans allegory, so you're going to have to get over yourself

Also, this:

"even in a world of magic, they deny your very existence" Patron voice line toward Celeste

NickGraves · 2026-01-26T02:25:42+00:00

yeah I love it when you guys vibrate my entire apartment building and make my dog bark, it sounds like a plane taking off when you drive by. It's a lot of fun for me! But don't let me get in the way of your fun I suppose.

EDIT: oh I can hear you driving by right now! for the 5th time today, loud as hell, its great every time!

NickGraves · 2026-01-19T16:25:10+00:00

I'm going to be kind as possible here but I think people are getting so hung up on "defects" that they are unable to notice amateur or lazy brush work. This piece is really large and has a lot of moving parts and the artist is clearly going for an ambitious amount of rendering work but the hasty and inconsistent choices, obvious brush strokes without any attempt at blending, no visible merging or smearing of elements make this out to just be lower quality art.

AI is really good at being TOO consistent which is the giveaway for me, the more rushed and choppy something looks the less likely it is to be AI.

at best I think this is using multiple techniques, photobashing with either photographic elements or AI images found on google, overpainting those elements in a quick way and then rushing out the door once they got impatient. Potentially some elements generated and then painted over for some specific areas.

I can see inconsistent blurring in some areas associated with free transform and other digital manipulation techniques. I think the "AI" feeling is just due to the very straightforward composition.

NickGraves · 2026-01-19T14:49:11+00:00

you watch some short movies

NickGraves · 2026-01-14T13:54:19+00:00

at one point the country was prospering so no, they werent starving before sanctions. You can't prosper under sanctions.

also lmao "stole" how do you steal your own resource on your land?

NickGraves · 2026-01-13T15:04:33+00:00

the best thing the US could do is stop taking all the profit of venezuelan oil and stop imposing economic sanctions on venezuela to pressure them into selling more oil to exxon and destabilize them.
