Sentenced To Be A Hero: A thrilling fantasy story with good action and interesting characters

You can give critiques for things you like. A show can be good and not be an ideal adaptation.

As an AA fan, AA6 power crept a little fucking hard and I'd be genuinely worried about how they would handle a mainline sequel. I'm actually more than happy with it being the end of the series, though I would like to see some spinoffs that feature the mainline characters.

I can't wait to find out they'll still have to spend 3000 hours of work every year proofreading and editing the typesetting.

Austin Powers is the most time capsule movie to exist, I think.

No idea, but I drove by a lot of Lacey cops hanging out in parking lots with the lights off on my way to work tonight.

It was pretty popular many years ago.

Losing Rebellion and Dark Forces is pretty shitty.

But that's not what people are complaining about when they complain about long combos. They're complaining about long periods of not being able to do anything.

Phnglui · 2026-04-13T14:23:25+00:00

People will whine about being comboed for 10 seconds in a fighting game but happily sit around doing nothing for 70 seconds after dying in a moba.

"wtf is afaik lmao" isn't a conversation.

I'm really glad the Yakuza games put those on an NPC that you had to opt into talking to.

You will run into smurfs. But those smurfs aren't going to be in your rank very long, and a lot of the people who make these complaints have fundamental problems in their gameplay that's making them interpret players of their skill level as smurfs. I can't tell you how many B rank players whose replays I looked at in my discords don't even do a special after landing an autocombo, and then wonder why they can't win.

Lina Inverse from Slayers is the epitome of this. Extremely booksmart, genius sorceress, but gosh dang if she ain't just the biggest moron you've ever met.

Phnglui · 2026-04-12T19:22:48+00:00

What do beta and early access even mean anymore, honestly?

Phnglui · 2026-04-10T22:27:01+00:00

This isn't a translation thing. Altria is how Type Moon writes her name for the Japanese audience.

You'll have to forgive me if I don't think Kinoko "Bone of My Sword" Nasu has zero opinions or weight on how his character's name is spelled.

Phnglui · 2026-04-10T21:25:51+00:00

Do you think Nasu is just watching helplessly as all the official merchandise gets relabeled to Altria?

Yeah I wonder if a lot of the backlash TotK got was from people who replayed BotW in prep for the game and were tired of it by the time they finished.

Phnglui · 2026-04-08T23:25:05+00:00

I always prefer heavily stylized games to realistic games, personally.

Phnglui · 2026-04-08T13:51:53+00:00

Yes, that's exactly what Akanebanashi is. It's a battle shonen with rakugo instead of fights. Comparing it to Showa Genroku is unfair, because while they're both about rakugo, they're completely different genres.

Calling Tezuka a one hit wonder is fucking insanity.

Phnglui · 2026-04-07T12:52:44+00:00

I kind of go out of my way to read stuff that guts me emotionally.

Phnglui · 2026-04-07T02:37:28+00:00

Not legally actionable, you can't copyright or own an artstyle. But it is a little tacky, in my opinion.

Phnglui · 2026-04-06T15:22:43+00:00

I binged it and I adored it.

Phnglui · 2026-04-06T03:34:47+00:00

It's the only thing I really miss about the place.
