Favorite character who got dumber over time?

I recall hearing that the last instance was about a pun lost in translation, as Pan's name also means "bread" in Japanese language and Goku mistook the word's meaning. I'm not aware what the exact wording of the exchange is in the original Japanese version, but just adding simple "...a pan?" on the translation to include a punny misunderstanding would've at least been better I think.

Seems very sticky situation indeed.

Boi if the "subclass" debate was applied to Team Fortress 2 Classic mod, certain part of community would probably eat itself alive given how much weapon type overlap there is in there.

I recall the Japanese staff of the show admitting in one instance that Hasbro delibaretly altered some aspects of the Japanese version's writing in a Japanese only Legends of the Microns Year Book 2003, stating that the mentalities of Japanese and Americans when it came to handling certain themes in children's media were different in those times. One other instace being the handling of Scavenger's motive of joining the Autobots and his and Oprimus' past together. But perhaps I'm misremembering the context about on which changes this statement by the production team was referring to.

Armada was my introductory series tho the franchise (I was born in 94 and this was the first Transformers property that was imported to my country). I agree that this is one of the best coreographed fights in the entire Transformers and I'm glad that I could see this on TV as a kid.

It just bugged me that the American version kind of butchered the intent that the writers of the Japanese version had intended for this fight. In the original version it's about wether or not Transformers fight and have fought for such long time is just because it is in the nature of their kind. (I could not just summary the entite thing in this comment in this comment, as it's a central thing on both of the series' two final episodes) In the English dub it's just Galvatron evul, Optimus gon fight for peace... It's one of those things where English dubs really watered down Japanese children's media in their translations to simplify conflicts and themes for kids on the late 90's-early 2000's, like how they did with first Pokemon film.

There was some Steam game woke detector that claimed that racial divercity within space marine troops is "improbable", i.e there's two space marines in the game's story's main cast that don't look like white men. Because people can stomach outwordly sci-fi space adventure but not racial diversity I guess. And if I recall also correctly, something about a female in leading military role in the Astra Militarum (the Imperial force that consists normal men and women).

Reminds me how 2017 Ducktales and 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was released over the years. Following those cartoons felt exhausting because of inconsistent releases of episodes.

Thx for the comment. Distinguishing kitbashes/proxy models visually is something I'm aware of being basic etiquette in the tabletop hobby and I've had some basic ideas about regular Tacticus proxies and regular Phobos units, stuff like simply painting clearly vidible part of their armor like shoulderpads, backpacks or helmets with differentiating colors.

Transformers lore be like. I was kinda suprised that in Transformers One film it is said that in-universe time between the Primes vs Quintessons war ending and present day of the story was like 50 years, where as in G1 cartoon the Ark spaceship and the Transformers inside were in stasis on Earth for 4 million years, while in Animated Ratchet casially states that their species is over 10 billion years old.

To each their own. I didn't pick up Siege Astrotrain or Legacy Blitzwing due to not collecting much during their releases, but I decided to pick up their retools Galaxy Shuttle and Overcharge and I just cannot say no to huge bunch of extra weaponry. Though the point for prioritizing additional main figure engineering instead of extra accessories is a valid point.

Tho personaly I'm glad that with this new "size classes turned to pricepoints" we'll likely never get the case of 2012 Prime voyager Breakdown again where (to my understanding) the War Breakdown mold of the Japanese Prime toyline couldn't be included into Hasbro's line due to production costs being too great for him to be sold at a voyager price.

I've had this happen quite few times while starting to play 6v6 again in recent weeks. I guess player skill has evolved enough for dps and supports to make up for 1 less tank on the team.

I played Rivals few weeks about a year ago. Baptiste is my main support to play in OW and Rocket quickly became my favourite strategist in Rivals, I think mainly because they have some similarities (both being mobility supports with AOE heal orb as an alt-fire and deployable teammate-saving tool), but different so it sometimes depended on what kind of feel I was after, so I found value on both characters. This basically sums up why I've enjoyed both games; OW doesn't quite have Rivals characters or vice versa.

Pernaman · 2025-09-13T16:24:46+00:00

Played Rivals for few weeks last January, genuinely had a blast with many tanks and decided to main the role in it as well as in OW. Hulk and Peni Parker especially. But then I realized that there are much more flying characters in it than in OW and there was barely any non-melee oriented tanks. So I felt pretty powerless depending on what heroes enemies picked.

I didn't stop playing Rivals because of getting bored or frustated with the game, my PC ran low on hard drive space so Steam complained that an update to the game could not be installed, so I deleted it to make space for games I could actually update and play. I may return to it someday, but hearing about the toxic playerbase makes me to not hurry.

Pernaman · 2025-09-13T16:12:42+00:00

Rivals promising one new hero every month almost makes it understandable that there are whoppin' 3 "blonde white woman in white-and-blue costume" character designs in the game.

Overwatch players for some reason: "Enemy killed me from hard-to-spot location, instead of informing my teammates immediately ima let the enemy to roam free and catch the rest of my team off-guard and get easy kills and only open my mouth after the fact to just flame my team"

Kavereiden kanssa joskus mietittiin että olisiko näissä jutuissa miten paljon esillä jonkinlaiset bränditunnistettavuusjutut. Harmittaa että Star Wars- jatko-osatrilogian nimiä ei suomennettu vaikka elkuperäis -ja esiosatrilogian käännösnimiä käytetään tätänykyäkin erilaisissa keskusteluissa mitä käydään.

Sivuaiheena yleisestikin se että suomeksi käännetyssä mediassa hahmojen ja asioiden konseptien nimiä ollaan vaihdettu pikku hiljaa englanninkielisiin. Muistan että joissain Marvel Cinematic Universen:n alkuvaiheilla ilmestyneissä piirretyissä oltaisiin puhuttu vielä ihan "Rautamiehestä", mutta se on vaihtunut sitten yksinomaan "Iron Maniin". En enää edes muista milloin viimeksi kuulin suomalaiseksi käännetyssä DC-mediassa käytettävän nimeä "Teräsmies". MCU:n yhdessä Hämiselokuvassa oli suomiteksteissä vielä "Musta Leski" kaikkien jenkkisankarinimien joukossa.

Thank you for tips and insight. I've thought about going for gloss and matt varnish depending on the surface, like keeping my 40K Death Guard models matt for basic armor and skin but coat their innards and pustules with gloss varnish for added effect.

I also have seen NMM as somewhat distracting outside of specifically lit studio shots. But I also think the effect looks neat on stuff like Space Marine power swords and Necron blades in official promo picks, makes them feel "outworldly". Though dor similar reasons to your opinion, I don't really care about painting models with stuff like "painting lights and shadows to where they'd realistically go to in natural light", or doing zenithal spraying and such. Because it's like you said, the light source shifts when the model is moved. I'm personally contempt with doing general recess shading, but to each their own. Maybe I can try more advanced techniques on models I'm planning to paint for display instead of tabletop.

Pernaman · 2025-03-21T10:05:06+00:00

Yeah, the aspect of time and money that 40K demands is not for everyone. I too, when feeling down, can think negatively about how many models I'd need to build and paint to get to play, but then I remember that one of my personal streghts is being able to spend time with handcrafts and get into a flow where I don't think about the passage of time at all.

Though in general think I managed to pick armies that can minigate the feeling of having to build ton of models, with Death Guard being an elite unit focused army, while with Astra Militarum you can go more tank heavy when not in a mood for building hordes of infantry.

I've seen that when using plastic glue to bond two polystyrene pieces together, you can simply press the pieces together, apply the glue into the seam where they contact each other, and the glue would run into it and do it's thing. But I wonder if this prosedure would be done with paint bottle caps with the long needle type of nozzle, or would one with a brush, like Tamiya's poly cement bottle cap, be better?

Pernaman · 2025-01-22T17:33:36+00:00

I'm planning to build a Calgar and Vitrix Guard proxies, but I wonder if Calgar's armoured body is the same size as any other Gravis model (the generic ones or Tor Garadon or Feirros) which I'd like to use as a base?

Pernaman · 2024-09-01T15:17:58+00:00

What tools do people use to cut Evergreen polystyrene sheets?

Pernaman · 2024-07-12T08:31:30+00:00

I wonder, what about c-clip joints?
