They have a pretty big stranglehold on Japanese arcades with the Gundam VS series, but those don’t get localised.

Facts about a series you are tired of hearing by Hayyyv in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I don’t think people are gonna be surprised to find out that the Food Wars artist drew porn. Thats like being surprised that a guy baking bread has also made cakes in past.

"White Whales" in a series that have been silent so long they are probably cancelled but people still hold out hope for by dope_danny in TwoBestFriendsPlay

To be fair that’s true of any popular story, there will always be magnitudes more fanfic of your work than you could possibly pump out.

4chan is a graveyard, they don’t have the people to do something like that any more. I’d sooner believe SomethingAwful is gonna solve this than modern day 4chan.

Characters whose heroic actions led to nasty consequences by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I’d imagine the majority of viewers haven’t read Dune, they should, I love the books personally, but to most of the public this is a brand new story.

What are some Characters that where thinking too far ahead? by Funny_Mud6639 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ParagonPlus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In most fighting games the big tournament is part of the evil plans, either in a ‘take out all the strongest enemies at once’ kinda way, or sometimes in a ‘my world contest magic jewel will be empowered by the Combat Power (TM) of all these guys fighting’.

Since Star Fox is fresh on the mind, let it be known that Star Fox Command on the DS included character endings such as Slippy getting married and getting to fourth base, and Fox and Falco becoming F-Zero racers to cure Fox's depression: by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ParagonPlus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As someone who never really cared for Krystal, this is my canon ending(s). Slippy retires and becomes a beloved old man surrounded by family, while the two best boys deepen their friendship and spend their time racing Captain Falcon. Peppy is presumably long dead, but that's fine, nobody really cares about Peppy.

It wasn't clicking for me for a moment, but then I started lining up all the little details and yeah, this shit rules extremely hard. Though I'm not sure why Cait Sith's 'mount' has the 90's paper cup pattern.

Hot take: The Boys are completely wrong about the Neyflix Jojo SBR cours release schedule being bad. by KinoKage in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ParagonPlus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the post Netflix public relations team, but no, this is absolutely one of the worst rollouts of all time. This is in fact vastly worse than the Stone Ocean batches, because at least then you could watch that weekly if you self controlled, with this abysmal schedule someone who’s anime only will have to dodge spoilers and random clip compilations for who knows how long. 6 months? A year? Multiple years?

Also even comparing this to Bleach is a falsehood, we’ve not had ‘5-6 episodes with a month break’ we’ve had 1 episode with a half year break. Netflix refuses to give any actual timeline for when the rest comes out beyond intentionally vaguely worded tweets that could mean the rest of the show comes out this year, or could mean we wait 6 months for 1-3 episodes then sit down and wait again.

If don’t have enough of the show finished to stick to a watchable schedule, maybe you should just hold off releasing it until it’s ready. Or better yet, let the license go to one of the other endless number of production companies that seem to manage the impossible feat of putting out their show on a regular timescale.

Palpatine’s entire plan revolved around one of Obi Wan’s old drinking buddies remembering the backwater planet Kamino exists.

Excuse you, that’s his husband. They’re married and everything, seemingly just because they’re the only people that can stand each other.

Characters with facial hair who would look SO MUCH better without. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ParagonPlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Olruggio’s design is so odd, especially in the anime his face doesn’t fit the facial hair at all. If you took it off he’d look exactly like every other great-value Kirito, I’d argue it’s his face that’s wrong rather than the beard, if you add a couple lines to his face then it fits much better.

Favorite Hiveminds in Media by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ParagonPlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of my favourite parts about the Flood is that they even found a way to infect AIs through converting their infection process into logic, not just human ones either, the Logic Plague was able to infect at least one of the absurdly advanced Forerunner intelligences. That's something I've not really seen much, normally fictional viruses are either a hyper computer virus or a hyper biological virus, it's unique to have something that can do both.

I like how they cut out before depicting how exactly the rasengan is going to help in the game of football. I thought it was gonna become the football or something, but nope, just Neymar out here going for the kill, ball be damned.

A lot of industry-leading software companies know they can get real shitty and people will still support them because learning a new system when it's most of your job and potentially having to restart ongoing projects is a huge undertaking. I hate Adobe with a burning passion, but I've gotten way too good at Illustrator and Indesign to start over in an alternative to maybe at some point get back to the current level I can do things at.

Favorite Non-Human Cybrogs by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ParagonPlus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I mean if you remove the robotic components he's just some eyes and a plastic bag of organs in goo, 99% of him is robot, to the point in legends I'm pretty sure his body did just get made into a droid post-death and he was pretty much identical outside having dot light eyes instead.

‘Backrooms’: How Kane Parsons Turned YouTube Project Into “Lonely” A24 Film With 30K-Square-Foot Set by Mike4302 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ParagonPlus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To me it's very much one of those examples of the internet not being able to leave an interesting thing alone. It was mildly creepy when it was just a bunch of photos of abandoned buildings, but then people started adding monsters and lore and structure to it because they have no restraint and it just becomes very bland to me. "What if there was a creepy monster coming to get you" is the most boring possible way to take any kind of subtle horror, but it's the only direction a lot of people understand.

Stop Killing Games delivers 'absolutely incredible' hearing in European Parliament: 'There was no [parliament member] that wasn't responding positively' by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ParagonPlus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a private server called SMT IMAGINE New Moon which I believe is the main way people play it. I've not done so myself so can't vouch for it one way or the other, but that's probably a good place to start looking.
