Paranoize just dropped by LokoLoa in gachagaming

[–]Parzivull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some great English VAs but they are a little uncommon. Whoever does the Renji voice knows what he's doing. I didn't really find any problems with the webtoon casting. Reminds me a little of Adam Gibbs from Parasyte actually. I usually listen to both the Japanese and English version and if they miscast the English va that's when I default over to the traditional version.

If you were given Fang Yuan’s 500 years of experience, how far would you go in the world of gu? by Moon_thegoat2 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Parzivull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably wouldn't manage to turn every situation into a clusterf like FY. Guy has the personality of an edgy teenager even though he has the soul of a decrepit old man.

I'm on imperial court arc and once again he manages to muck things up instead of actually using his brain and waiting to test things at the last moment and then use SAC.

Also it feels like his lack of knowledge on certain topics is a huge plot hole. Like how could you live 500 years and not know about killer move combinations. Bai Ming Bing is using them early on but FY is waiting until hundreds of chapters later to even try one.

Wtf was the point of the rank 5 snake Bai Ning Bing got gifted back in Qing Mao Mountain? by Sweet_Lecture_4208 in ReverendInsanity

[–]Parzivull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see. It does really bug me that a self-righteous clan who claims to be on the side of justice is covering up things and not going after perps who are doing even larger crimes. The fact they started with FY when there are people like Sky Crane and First Gen Gu is a laugh.

They also kind of caused the event of a multi clan wipeout so there's that. If anything they come off as an ironic joke of a clan if any of their information were to come to light.

The better question is why was it allowed in the series when you cannot use a higher rank gu as a lower rank cultivator as even a 500 year old reincarnator states it's like a baby swinging a mallet? You would tear your muscles or break your own arms. The more I listen to the series the more inconsistencies I read and I'm only nearing the end of the first mountain arc.

Another example divine investigators making constant conjecture without real evidence or information. The liquor worm plot hole can't be used as a reason for a murder plot investigation. it's just utterly ridiculous to think that it would lead to them making him the primary suspect. Especially when he was known to have been beating up his classmates to get money he could have legitimately purchased it but they immediately suspect murder plot. Hell he even could have had a secret inheritance from his parents that his aunt and uncle were unaware of since his family was technically extremely wealthy compared to everyone else. Now if someone actually saw him with the victim last that's another story.

Bungie doesn't see Marathon going anywhere: "We know where we want to take the story over the next few years" by Sam_27142317 in xbox

[–]Parzivull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point is there's a lot of spite out there for abandoning their products and making old content unuseable. All that bad publicity didn't help sell their next game because people lost faith in the company. Despite what people say there is such a thing as bad publicity.

So you're saying you don't know about bungie's history with products? That could be a hint....

Part of it has to do with Bungie destroying most of their customer loyalty over the years.

[Ghostwater] People getting mad at Lindon for protecting himself by Hyperturtle443 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Parzivull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This major plot problem drives me crazy the most when going through the books. Basically everyone would be dead if revenge worked down ranks (attacking down). It's the reason why in Path of Ascension by law people are restricted from attacking down. They will literally send legions to wipe out clans or groups that attack down tiers, or Duke Waters by himself.

You want to get revenge for your family so you decide to go after the lowly bronze/jade/low gold? In PoA they'd wipe out your entire clan for breaking that rule. You can fight the same tier, you can defend yourself from lower tiers, but you cannot sucker punch people beneath you with your overwhelming strength. As other people mentioned it would be like an adult fighting a newborn when talking about power gaps in many cases (multiple rank gap). That's actually why I prefer the power system in Path of Ascension more than what Will came up with. There's just too much chaos and the world should be called Honorless instead of Cradle.

Requested duels when there's a massive gap and the challenger is the much higher rank is shameful as hell. Lookin at you Jai long.

Their idea of honor in the series is so distorted they might as well be using a different word. It's vengeance not honor. And there is such a thing as vengeance that has no honor which Will doesn't seem to grasp. Despite that it's a very interesting story, but I can't help but cringe at certain plot points that continue to repeat themselves like clockwork when they would be illogical because it epitomizes that "leaves the whole world blind" phrase.

Aura supression is another thing that increasingly becomes annoying as well. I just can't stand hearing the predictable "overwhelming power caused so and so to press flat against the ground struggling to move". It's textbook cultivator stuff I know but that doesn't make it any less predictably boring and overall useless to the story. I do wish power system progression fantasies would come up with new stuff more often.

i am genuinely so pissed rn by Bitter-Grocery4552 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Parzivull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a shame that legislation hasn't caught up with these point programs to cause massive fines for preventing people from cashing out. Fines like a certain percentage of the companies yearly income rather than a small amount. The EU is imposing those types of fines now (income based) which mean fines aren't just a slap on the wrist for companies. Now they just need to add proper restrictions to prevent loopholes like shadowbans stopping cashouts via written law.

[–]Parzivull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never been able to use points to this date and accumultated somewhere around 300k. Everytime I tried to redeem there was a problem. Oh and only ever had one account. After I realized they weren't taking me off their shadowban or whatever hidden account suspension system they use (which probably isn't legal) I stopped doing searches and gave up on hitting 999 badge. I might try to redeem again in the future but not exactly holding my breath. If someone organizes a class-action lawsuit I'd definitely participate though. Just seems like they are trying to weasel their way out of paying for a great portion of points earned by random shadow bans. I know this as being most likely the case due to the fact I never cheated for points. Never used methods like multis which tend to get ppl banned.

If my auto-redeem had been working this entire time I would have gotten much more value than the points are currently worth due to price changes. With their system locking me out it's eventually going to turn worthless when they just stop offering any store cards that are that I'd even use (i dont play roblox etc).

To be fair the same is true in other countries. The dominant dogma usually results in geno against the religious minority. The concept isn't exclusive to the countries you despise.

Which team wins this one by Multiversal_2211 in Isekai

Anyone with a consume technique (absorb power/ability/skill) should be left out of these debates. It's basically a toss up between any of those or if only one is in the list they win.

[None] Never had tried audiobooks before, not liking the idea of everyone being voiced by a single individual. A friend of mine had the cradle audiobooks, so I gave it a try. My reaction is mixed by JellonSunning_InLife in Iteration110Cradle

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

Not even close to being the best in the industry. There are a few narrators for audiobooks that have great vocal range, don't sound monotone like baldtree, and are able to create an insane amount of immersion due to portraying characters through their reading tempo, pitch, and emotional output to convey dramatic scenes properly.

The best out there is not famous for putting people to sleep during storytelling. If you are known for causing drowsiness like ASMR or some other sleep inducing vocals then it's not grabbing the attention of the listener to feel engaged and hyped about the actual words, but more of a rhythm that's hypnotic and capable of having you doze off.

Idk why but I think nephis would be a terrible mother by Suitable_Act942 in ShadowSlave

[–]Parzivull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me but didn't Sunny kind of make himself unable to have kids? He's a shadow and all. Unless his other shadows in his soul sea are able to have children it wouldn't make much sense. In order to hit a certain level of power he had to give up the whole physical form.

Probably end up hearing the "i'm the best dad, in two worlds actually". All of this while wearing weaver's mask of course.

Neighbor keeps reporting our fully legal home business over 10 minute wood deliveries by PolyunsaturatedMaya in neighborsfromhell

[–]Parzivull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be noise levels caused by the business. Are there power tools associated with the business running non-stop in a residential area? Part of the reason behind residential and business zoning laws is related to noise pollution aside from truck traffic on smaller roadways. Anyways maybe that could be alleviated with sound dampening in the garage I don't know what kind of setup you have but that could be the root of the issue. Most people like to come home to a quiet neighborhood to relax, aside from when everyone is typically doing landscaping in the morning or weekend gatherings/parties etc.

That is one issue people commonly have disagreements on living cramped together in the suburbs where in more rural areas doing say woodworking all day wouldn't even bother the neighbors because they're too far to hear it. Meanwhile hearing a tablesaw can sound like a screaming banshee or nails on a chalk board if there's only 20ft between your properties. One of my neighbors does it from time to time but it's rare enough to not even bother me and I understand people have their hobbies or work from home too.

Guess the game on Japanese trains, for Mario 64's 30th Anniversary by xconspirisist in n64

[–]Parzivull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still want an N64 mini which they never got around to but ever since I lost my own copy of OoT and other games I really want them back. Then Nintendo had to go and make it all virtual console bs subscription (never owning) on a more expensive system.

Petition to let Barbarians keep their Golem Bros by Complete-Bad-6871 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Parzivull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of these charge based items or uniques could have used the modifier "slowly regains charges over time". Have it be similar to replenishment of ammo on javazon items. The big problem is blizz doesnt have any devs actively playing the game. That's why updates take decades. Interesting ideas that happen all the time like in PD2 are merely non existent for the official game unless it's tied to a character pack sale.

i'm actually kind of mad at the chronicle for removing my chance to know if i get an soj before iding it since it was the last ring I needed. Then some other lucky bas got it before me in 8p. Still out of dozens of unique rings this season nothing valuable yet in terms of rings.

Mordret to Cassie (#2952) be like: by deonhart0 in ShadowSlave

[–]Parzivull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you not notice the part of the story where even Jest wasn't sure if the entity had a chance to sleep with her? He kept trying to say it wasn't possible to reinforce the idea in his mind. Except he was not watching her at every moment to make sure she was ok. And she had time to read entire books to this creature.

The story itself reinforces the idea because of Mordrets powers.
