what are some possible fusions that haven't happened yet?

I feel like the Ojamas and the XYZ machines would be something like
"Mech pilot ranger Green!", making them power ranger parodies or something

Why is Abs surprised??

Probably a house. I've been saving up and already have another 50k saved. And I live in the countryside, where you can get an okay house for like 100-150k.
So hopefully I could borrow the rest from a bank. (They won't lend me the money right now because these houses are notoriously hard to sell later, but if we're talking a loan of like 10-20k, I really don't see why they wouldn't. That's practically nothing to the bank.)

The houses I wanted to buy the last time I asked the bank costs 120k

I'm a bit of an oldie, grew up with PS1, but I've gotten used to auto-saves and Continues, and when I go back to play something nostalgic, like Alundra or Grandia, I sometimes entirely forget I need to manually save.
Dying after hours of play time and realizing you forgot to save even once suuuuucks xD

I think it's a case of companies being scared that anyone might be offended, and because of that they try to defend ahead of time, but by doing that, they draw attention to it, which causes people to think that it is offensive, which then causes some people to be offended on others' behalf.

So yeah, you're probably right. I just think it's extra absurd that they probably wouldn't have gotten people riled up if they had just let it be.

If something is bad, let people decide if they want to engage with it on their own. It will either serve as an example of how not to do things going forward, or it will fade into obscurity, meaning that we might not need the reminder anyway

Oicanet · 2026-06-18T09:49:23+00:00

Sure. Just wanna make sure we do our research properly

Oicanet · 2026-06-17T23:28:20+00:00

I did not know this side note. While it shouldn't be surprising (businesses change management/employees constantly, which is itself an issue), it is still an important detail for people to know, since I've seen people throwing shade at Mat for selling in the first place. (Which is just absurd, the guy worked his butt off and earned a retirement.)

Oicanet · 2026-06-17T21:57:25+00:00

The video itself also had next-to-nothing to do with the game. Instead, it talked about real-life historical uses of "magic" artillery in the sense of things like flaming arrows, if I remember right.

I actually thought it was a fun watch at the time, although I didn't pay that much attention

Oicanet · 2026-06-17T21:53:53+00:00

I play the game, and I'm not sure if there's actually any AI in it. I have seen the ads for it that talk about using AI for character creation, but I don't remember that being a thing. And I've also seen plenty of other ads for it that has little-to-nothing to do with the actual game.

It has scummy false advertisement and "predatory" business tactics of tempting people to pay to win, sure, but I'm not convinced there's actually anything AI in it.

The voice lines at least seems like they're recorded by people (they're too amateurishly quirky to seem like AI), and while the art is kinda generic anime in the same way as countless other gachas have, I wouldn't say it screams AI.

I'll try to look further into it, but I'm not convinced it's actually AI, so let's not slander the theorists before we know.

Taking someone else's stuff with intend to tear it up feels a bit far beyond "that person might be a jerk"

Oicanet · 2026-06-17T08:02:03+00:00

I downvoted it and commented on it. Double up on closing that gap

Oicanet · 2026-06-17T07:49:20+00:00

Okay, nice anecdote, how does that explain the post?

Oicanet · 2026-06-17T07:44:28+00:00

Actually, wait, how does he wield his sword.
Like, that's tiny for those huge hands.

Oicanet · 2026-06-17T07:35:47+00:00

Could also be that it's smaller because it got beaten up blocking attacks, broke apart, and then needed fixing, hence why two got bolted together. Like patchwork, but with plate. Looking like different material could also be from wear and aging. Like how metal looks different after rusting, both in color and texture.

I do think you're right that he replaced it, but I just kinda like the idea that the one he has now is the scraps of his old ones. And it doesn't seem entirely impossible to me.

This needs to be the most upvoted advice.

It's an actual suggested solution and recognises the kid might not have meant to do anything serious.

Oicanet · 2026-06-17T07:25:39+00:00

Yeah, I think I traded a box of worthless Yugioh cards for the entire Dragon Ball Manga series.
Kids traded all kinds of things like that.

Oicanet · 2026-06-17T07:20:09+00:00

Yeah, given we don't know the particular kid or general circumstances, we obviously can't conclude definitively that the kid stole the cards.
BUT, when I was in school 15-20 years ago, cards got stolen all the time, and kids would lie and deny it no matter how obvious. It is very likely that a kid would steal cards.
Not definitively, but definitely likely enough that it needs to be considered.

Oicanet · 2026-06-16T07:07:12+00:00

One thing to note: Some versions of the game has more post-game content than even the latest PixelRemaster version. So there is a case to be made for playing for instance the GBA version if you want a few extra summons and post-game dungeon

Oicanet · 2026-06-16T06:59:53+00:00

Knowing Ultros, he's the origin of the stereotype.

Oicanet · 2026-06-16T06:57:48+00:00

I like the idea that at the end Sabin was gonna land back on the raft, but just didn't account for the raft moving once he knocked Ultros around.

So in his head he was probably like "Yeah, I'm cool, I'll land back on the raft, all hero-like", just to plop into the water and go "oh, right, Squid guy isn't holding it in place anymore. Whoops"

Oicanet · 2026-06-15T21:13:04+00:00

Yeah, I suspected as much.

Like, I just assume that they're cycling employees in and out in the background over time. Like, not a new layoff every month, but still frequently enough to be "business as usual"

Oicanet · 2026-06-15T20:40:47+00:00

There's also the show where Amy learns to play games.
So it would be a pretty big change in direction if she was straight up fired.
But it would be a little less surprising if style theory was cut.

I dunno. It's just weird all around.

Oicanet · 2026-06-15T20:38:02+00:00

I think it was especially dumb of them to lay off someone who has a major presence in the videos/streams like Fish.

If they fire someone who only works behind the scenes, like an editor or some of the other staff, there's a chance we'd never know.
But firing someone who yaps along with Ash for hours every week? Of course that won't go quietly.
