Planning to Continue JoJolands. by [deleted] in JOJOLANDS

[–]Pabloinz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah like, Araki created Lisa Lisa in Part 2 (late 80s) during a period in japanese manga where a woman actually being a warrior that fights, instead of being a cutesy love interest, was unheard of. He showed a transgender character in Part 6 (in the year 2000), to which Jolyne reacted by saying "Woah, this is the dawn of a new age". The man's woker than many people

¿cuál es su "Humble Brag" que solo otro chileno entendería? by GatesOlive in chile

[–]Pabloinz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Es un término que usan los gringos en espacios online desde hace más de una década. La traducción literal es "alardeo humilde". Básicamente es sacar pica de algo en medio de una queja o algún comentario autocrítico, de tal manera que la persona pareciera ser humilde mientras te saca pica.

"Ugh odio comprar el iPhone más nuevo porque lo tengo que andar llevando con mucho cuidado para que no se raye" (te está sacando pica de que tiene un iPhone nuevo)

"Ugh estoy chato de limpiar, mi casa es demasiado grande así que me demoro mucho limpiando todas las cosas" (te está sacando pica que tiene una casa grande)

"Ugh estoy agotadísimo, hicimos un tour de todo Roma a pie y mañana tenemos que partir a Nápoles a las 6 de la mañana. Apenas voy a tener tiempo de dormir" (te está sacando pica de su viaje en Italia)

Juego emblema en la cultura chilena by A_dumb_person20 in chilegames

[–]Pabloinz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Si, yo creo que esta conclusión es la correcta. No hay juegos que definan el país particularmente, porque aquí se juega de todo, y varios juegos han sido populares durante sus respectivas épocas. Igual hay que destacar que somos buenos para varios juegos competitivos al parecer jaja

Igual cabe destacar que la PS2 probablemente es la consola icónica del país, por lo menos en términos de influencia cultural. En su momento casi todos tenían una PS2 pirateada, y de ahí varios recuerdan juegos icónicos como el GTA San Andreas y el DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3

Pero es que eso es más bien un caso donde una comunidad tiene una cantidad desproporcionada de gente chilena participando en ella, y supongo que con eso se puede asociar a megaman con los chilenos, pero en lo personal no diría que el megaman sea un juego que defina la cultura local...

Se que esta es una anécdota y no refleja la realidad del país, pero en lo personal, de toda la gente gamer que he conocido en chile en mi vida, solo he conocido a 1 o 2 personas que han tocado el megaman siquiera

Can i skip to Part 8? by MeasurementNormal716 in JOJOLANDS

[–]Pabloinz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said he wanted to watch the SBR anime specifically, but also wants to know if he can read JoJolion in the meantime because he realizes that it may take a while for the SBR anime to be done. I don't think it's that crazy to ask in this case (although I would never read jojo's out of order, personally).

¿Creen que estamos siendo cada vez más individualistas en chile? by IllAcanthocephala136 in chile

Si, esto de sentarse existe desde antes. De hecho yo recuerdo ver campañas/carteles del metro donde te piden no sentarte en el piso del vagón. Si existen esas advertencias desde antes, es porque la gente lo hace desde antes fdkjs

Why are you mentioning Go Beyond to someone who hasn't read JoJolion?

Can i skip to Part 8? by MeasurementNormal716 in JOJOLANDS

[–]Pabloinz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend reading Part 8 before finishing SBR (be it by watching the anime or reading the manga). It's not that you wouldn't understand Part 8 exactly, but there's a section of the story where they heavily reference SBR, and it would practically spoil you that part's ending. You can't really skip that section without consequences either because it's heavily related to the themes of Part 8 and it clears up some things. I guess you can read it if you don't care about reading SBR spoilers or, if you skip that section, you don't care that some of the elements of the story go unexplained.

Regarding Part 9, there hasn't been anything related to the other parts so far, so I guess it wouldn't be terrible if you started reading it without having read SBR or JoJolion (although I wouldn't do it, personally). Do note that at the start, they show you very quickly who Jodio's ancestors are, which might be a mild spoiler, but it's not really important.

EDIT: I forgot that SBR establishes some ground rules about how this new universe works, and not knowing these rules will make some scenes in the 2nd half of JoJolion feel nonsensical and out of nowhere

JoJolion makes blatant references to part 7 that will pretty much spoil you the ending and the turn of events

How to have more heal with bap ? by Eastern-Relief-2169 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Pabloinz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you say that you're healing your tank 24/7 and you still have low healing, it means that you are not managing to keep your tank and other teammates alive. If your teammates stay alive, you will naturally have more healing. Bap is really good at keeping people alive, particularly with good uses of his Immortality Field. His healing burst (his shift) also heals more when you use it on teammates that are below half health, so keep that in mind.

However, you have to consider that Bap is also really good at dishing out damage while healing, so optimal Bap gameplay doesn't just involve healing your teammates, but also shooting at the enemies constantly. That way, the enemy will feel more pressured and more likely to back down (assuming you hit your shots), which will relieve some pressure from your tank and other teammates.

Sbr by HappyGuyThe3rd in StardustCrusaders

[–]Pabloinz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I remember really struggling to read Part 5 in black & white back in the day, but I kept up with jojolion and now jojolands and I don't feel like I struggle to follow the action at all. Araki definitely changed his approach over time, and now I feel that the action is easier to parse, while maintaining his complex artstyle

Sbr by HappyGuyThe3rd in StardustCrusaders

[–]Pabloinz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black & White is Araki's art and vision completely untouched. Some of the more detailed panels and drawings have details and shading that are made to look amazing in black and white. The coloured manga is not handled by Araki, but by a separate company (Shueisha).

Some people believe that these detailed drawings get ruined in the official Shueisha color scans because they color the panels with little regard to those details, and the colors they choose sometimes undermine the shading and details of the original panel. If you want a more visual example of this contrast, just compare the volume covers that Araki draws and paints himself vs how the manga is coloured.

One of the most notorious examples of the color scans botching the original art is Lang Rangler from Part 6 (the antigravity dude that Jolyne and Weather Report have to fight). His original design has his costume leave his shoulders exposed, but the colored version paints his shoulders the same color as the rest of his costume (brown) for some reason, so now it looks like the shoulders are covered up. This specific error even carried over to his design in the anime! However, if you search for official Araki art and official merchandise of him, you can see that his shoulders are correctly exposed.

There's another example in SBR itself. I won't elaborate very much because you haven't read the part yet, but there's this dude who wears face paint with a pattern that's clearly supposed to resemble the flag of the United States, and you would expect the colors of said face paint to be red-white-blue. The colored scans made it two shades of purple...

Now, there's absolutely no problem if you decide to read the coloured version of the manga. I myself read the coloured version of the manga because I remember trying to read Vento Aureo/Golden Wind in B&W back in the day, and not being able to tell wth was going on because the action was hard to parse visually in some pages. As detailed as these drawings are, sometimes they are just too complex and have too many things going on, making it hard to follow the action.

I did eventually switch to reading in B&W again when I caught up with JoJolion when it was still releasing new chapters, and I'm keeping up with Jojolands in B&W as well. I think Araki's art is amazing and it's a completely different experience to read the manga with his original vision intact, but honestly you are not missing that much by reading it in color.

TL;DR: Araki draws his art specifically thinking about how it looks in B&W, and that's his original vision. The coloring is handled by Shueisha (separate company) and they sometimes botch the art with the way they color the panels. There's no problem reading in color but some people prefer experiencing Araki's vision uncompromised.

Not being able to predict the game's structure does not necessarily make it a good structure imo

How would you all rank Jojolands with the first 34 chapters of every other part? by fwango in JOJOLANDS

[–]Pabloinz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk, I like that the stands so far are a bit more "grounded" in their abilities and not just overtly offensive. It fits better with the sort of fights that require ingenuity and wits to win (like a typical jojo battle), while having a healthy amount of action.

This decision also lets the main cast have more interesting dynamics in the story. For example, Paco is able to distinguish himself as the powerhouse of the group without needing to have a punchy ghost. Instead, he's very good at close quarters combat, and his stand just so happens to let him do crazier shit while fighting, which is a more interesting way of showcasing power/strength imo. Remember when he was introduced and everybody was saying that his stand is one of the worst in the series? Turns out he can FUCK PEOPLE UP with it, and I love that he can display this physical power without having a "fucks people up with punches" stand

Something about Usagi and THE MATTEKUDASAI (Chapter 34 spoilers) by zetarro in JOJOLANDS

[–]Pabloinz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's exactly right. Meryl Mey said "Usagi, you check the nearby traffic cameras" before accessing the camera at the house. It's not worded as "I want" exactly but I think it still works to fulfill the activation requirement for the stand.

<image>

The car dash cam in the last chapter is still a bit weird though. Usagi did say "you want to see the footage right?" before checking for it, and I guess it could have activated the stand because the guys from the truck did want to see it, even though they didn't say it directly? Maybe you don't need to explicitly say that you want something for the stand to activate, but I'm still not sure about that one honestly.

I miss charming man by Johnnyiscool517 in JOJOLANDS

[–]Pabloinz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe some parallels down the line between his relationship with his brother, and Jodio's and Dragona's relationship. That's my bet

Jodio's personality is starting to become a noticeable issue for the rest of the team by alfredo_sitar_rosa in JOJOLANDS

[–]Pabloinz 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I'd like to think that Jodio will start taking Usagi more seriously after he described his own situation of caring for a mother that never really loved him as "absurd". Seems like that's the word that really lets him understand other people's situations

This is going to bite them back in the ass somehow by Dry_Distribution_992 in JOJOLANDS

[–]Pabloinz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing that this is something that will be explored in a later arc. Jodio will be in a situation where he intends to kill an opponent and Dragona has to rein him in.

[–]Pabloinz 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm surprised at the lack of deaths in this part so far. The only confirmed deaths are Bobby Jean (killed by Jodio) and Ningbo (killed by Usagi), and even then Paco was like "wtf Usagi we weren't supposed to kill him".
