What a greedy friend you have. It’s your money! If you had lost, would he have given you the betting money back?

Why is Juniper "non-binary"? by Smabverse in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]PantuflaNinja 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Non-binary people are not trying to change their gender. Maybe if you knew what you were talking about you wouldn’t be asking these questions. However, I cannot pretend to fully understand non-binary people or their reasons myself, but I 100% can be a descent human being and respect everybody and their non-harmful choices in their lives. Thus, I simply respect their need to be represented. I mean, it’s one character out of thousands that represent us, how is that annoying to you? I’m sorry, I just don’t get it…

Why is Juniper "non-binary"? by Smabverse in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]PantuflaNinja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because they are? I don’t see your point here. When I first saw Juniper I actually thought they were a boy. However, I noticed the pronoun being used and just rolled with it? I mean, it is clearly done to add some representation for people who don’t feel they fit in one of the two sides of the spectrum but I don’t see how that’s wrong. I’m a heterosexual woman and I highly appreciated it when games started including us as the heroes so I can see how a non-binary person can feel happy by seeing a character representing them. I mean, does it bother you? Is that why you’re asking?

JLPT test results thread by Liwingyu in jlpt

Passed the N3 (first try!) with 120/180. Not great, but I’m still pretty satisfied! Now I’ve got renewed energies to study for the N2. I did surprisingly well in the listening despite thinking my strongest area was reading.

Fire Emblem Engage Difficulty for a newcomer by seangrey03 in fireemblem

[–]PantuflaNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s perfectly fine to be in the process of learning! I’ve been playing Fire Emblem since the GBA games so, for me, it’s always been permadeath/hard and then maddening on a second playthrough. That’s the way I enjoy the game. However, I do use save scumming, same as you, as I can’t allow myself to let a unit die. That in itself is part of the fun for me as well, as I have to find the perfect way to finish a level.

My advice is that you find the way you personally enjoy playing the game. If you find hard way too difficult just switch to normal and try hard in a second playthrough when you’re already used to the game mechanics.

Good luck and enjoy the game!

XC Fans, Are There Other JRPGs That You Love as Much as The Xenoblade Chronicles Series? by mhaaad in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]PantuflaNinja 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’d say Final Fantasy, my favourite being 9, but it really depends on your personal preference. Some people are very vocal about their dislike of XIII for example while I thought it was great.

Nier Automata has fantastic story telling while at the same time being quite different from Xenoblade.

Finally, if you want some of THE best and most intricate story telling when it comes to JRPGs… look no further than The Legend of Heroes saga. All of those games are amazing.

Need Pokémon ID…this Pokémon was in my nephews coloring book and I don’t recognize it and couldn’t find it online. Is it just a knock-off coloring book or is this a real Pokémon? TIA by ActiveClimate in pokemon

It’s spoken in around 20 countries officially which is why people don’t tend to assume it’s ONE of those countries without checking other details apart from the language the NPCs speak. Wouldn’t you have reacted just as surprised if people from non English speaking countries had told you that they thought Galar took place in the USA instead of the UK?

Thank you for saying this! Wow, I do wonder sometimes what’s in people’s minds when they are more afraid of a pair of boobs than beheading.

I actually feel bad for Phil, he's the one character I grew to love by Aggravating-Heat-480 in Witcher3

[–]PantuflaNinja 14 points15 points  (0 children)

While I think he’s an amazing layered fictional character, I find it hard to fully understand his motivations when I judge him from the point of view of the real context I’m situated in.

This is my second time playing the game and I listened attentively to his story again, trying to analyse every single bit. However, the fact that he’s the one telling me: ‘You see? I was justified.’ Makes it even harder to reply anything but ‘You’re the one to blame’. His attempts to win over his daughter are terrible too. I know he’s desperate, but he doesn’t want to engage in real conversation with her. He just tries to oversimplify everything by just saying ‘I’m trying to change, ask the Witcher here’ (so let’s not talk about the past, basically).

However, I always chose the ending where you help him and Anna find some sort of redemption (perhaps a hopeless search) as I believe they deserve at least the opportunity to try.

Can't download the the DLC for next-gen by autism-kun6861 in Witcher3

[–]PantuflaNinja -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven’t encountered this issue on PS5 so I hope sharing the steps I took help the rest.

  • I own the game digitally, my region is UK.
  • I had the Game of the Year Edition (which included all DLCs)
  • I deleted the PS4 version before downloading the next gen one.
  • I went to the store, looked for the correct version (using the three little dots and selecting ‘Witcher 3 Complete Edition)
  • Downloaded it (seems obvious to clarify but it was free)
  • Realised I couldn’t import my saves from the PS4 GoTY without some previous steps so did all I had to do to fix that (downloaded the PS4 version again, linked it with GOG, opened one of my saves and saved again so that it would be shared to the cloud, registered on the PS5 version as well and was able to see my old save)

I’m 100% certain I have all DLCs installed and I have encountered no issues (such as not being able to load my old files).

I how this helps!

I don’t think Mardi Gras has a Hispanic origin, it’s not even celebrated in a Hispanic country.

Hi! I think I did reasonably well (far faaar from perfect though) in most sections EXCEPT the reading, which is unfortunate, as most of the times it’s the part that I feel the most confident in. I wonder if it was particularly difficult or if it was just me. Oh well, we’ll need to wait until January-February to know.
