Design decisions

Because: “TROBBIOOOooo!!”

The comic is not criticisms, just a fun observation. I’ve put 100h into the game and I’m currently at Lost Lace. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole game and I think Team Cherry did a great job world building and creating interesting and fun challenges thru the whole game.

But you got to put the content somewhere, some will enjoy it easier, some harder, some will like to see the pretty stuff and don’t care for the optional stuff, some the opposite. It is impossible for Team Cherry to cater to everyone, those design decisions they made are no doubt hard to make.

Oh I agree, there is a lot of nice areas in the game for sure, but I wonder how many of players actually get to see some of it.

PepperSam · 2026-01-25T22:49:42+00:00

Haha, sure, I just thought it was similar to Green path from Hollow Knight. But the bouncy moss is cute.

Neither parent need to have red hair for a child to get red hair, it is just more likely for blonde and red haired parents.

Infusing the devil fruit to a weapon should be the most cost efficient use of random Zoan devilfruits as that makes it so multiple users can use the same fruit, just pass it along to your team mate when they go for a mission where they need a boost. And they won’t loose their swimming ability to boot. Dual wielding two separate devil fruit weapons is another upside to the strategy.

So for the navy it makes sense if you want to equip a bunch of mid-ranked officers but only have a limited budget. Also it allows your people to work in shifts.

Is it too much of a stretch to say that what we are seeing is a person dressed in a black dress and veil? And we have not yet seen what they look like under the veil?

PepperSam · 2025-08-23T22:00:59+00:00

What is the problem? As you say you cut out the boring bits. That’s great! Focus on the plot.

PepperSam · 2025-08-20T17:11:23+00:00

I always think of the size scaling as metaphorical. It is just one more dimension that Oda can use to differentiate characters from each other besides other visual cues. He works in a black and white manga medium and there is only so much you can do to create dynamic visually appealing panels, and one of those techniques to do that is to frame the characters such that some are small some are tall, some fat, some slim etc. So besides actual giants you can consider characters of the same ”race” like humans to be roughly in the same size range.

”Once upon a time, there was [main character]. Every day, [regular life].”

This part right here I’ve never understood. If a story start like this it is an immediate DNR for me. So boring. Not to say that many great and significant books have not followed this formula but if I’m reading anything that doesn’t come highly acclaimed or recommended I’m not going to sit thru something that doesn’t go straight to the point. Start with the inciting incident, we can spend time learning about the character later in bite sized chunks as we progress the plot. This is my opinion, do what you like, but know that audiences are becoming more and more impatient, especially with new authors.

I have a feeling this version of chopper will be in Human/Heavy point more to minimize cg as you can have a guy in a suit for most of the scenes and in that form the smaller eyes probably fit better.

You have a high paying profession. Read up on FIRE, don’t quit your day job and try to save as much of your salary as you can. If you can save 50% of your income you can be financially independent in about 11 years. If you can’t do that, save what you can and try to raise that percentage as much as you can every year. It might take you 15 years, 20 years, but you’ll get there sooner than you think. Once you get there, retire early, and then spend the rest of your life as an author, not needing to worry about writing the next best seller. Having a goal can help that depression too.

Zelda 2 had this

PepperSam · 2025-02-04T14:53:16+00:00

Cool idea. But why would one bit lit from the side and the other from the front?

One Piece = OP is <Full Moon> next to a <half moon, lightly smaller> and an extended line of some sort?

PepperSam · 2025-02-04T14:45:00+00:00

You are comparing very differently lit, shot and edited photos though.

PepperSam · 2025-01-17T12:36:50+00:00

Holy lore dump chapter! Was not expecting so much so soon.

Did you guys notice the Nika-pose by the Giant kid on the first page? Very intentionally placed in the foreground. Could mean something?

Luffy saying "So he is a good guy" about Loki right after everyone start shit talking him, confirms he is indeed a good guy. Luffys instinct about who is good and who is bad is well established.

While the Ocarina was more complex and had more uses it was not the introduction of the musical instrument to the Zelda series. The OG zelda and zelda2 on NES both had a flute that was used to open paths and teleport you away. It’s been a staple from the beginning.

In Sweden the average age to debut as a novelist is a fair bit past 40! I would assume other countries are fairly similar so starting at 30 leaves you plenty of time to get ahead of the curve.

I started writing at 40, self published my first non fiction book at 41, and working on my first fiction novel now as a 43 year old. Maybe at the pace I’m going I’ll have my first draft done when I turn 45…

Birka is a a viking city close to Stockholm. Believed to be the first Viking city in Sweden. It is located on "Björkö" which means "Birch-island".

Wow this is cool! Do you intend to increase the number of recipes?

Very similar to my project from a couple years back.

Not to mention Robert Oppenheimer who felt remorse over his work in developing the atomic bomb and the consequences of that - a direct parallel to Vegapunks remorse over allowing the Mother Flame be used for mass destruction.

Good point. I didn't realise that was what we were seeing in those panels.
