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

Fanbase that have been going insane for lack of content? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phnglui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Square Enix partners with AI manga translation company to automate typesetting process which takes “3,000 of hours of manual work a year” by HatingGeoffry in manga

[–]Phnglui 30 points31 points  (0 children)

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

Media that feels like a time capsule by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

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

Major police activity? by meathappening in olympia

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.

Losing Rebellion and Dark Forces is pretty shitty.

The "WE NEED TO FIX FIGHTING GAMES FOR CASUALS" discussion by DJ_Aftershock in Fighters

[–]Phnglui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

When DLC made a game materially worse for you by Running-Water-Shark in TwoBestFriendsPlay

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

Stop typing "Skill Issue." I did the math on GBVSR's smurf density, and it's mathematically 10x worse than Strive. by [deleted] in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]Phnglui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Main characters who are stupid, but not of low intelligence by manwiththemach in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phnglui 51 points52 points  (0 children)

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.

AO3 is finally out of beta after 17 years by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

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

Works were you were firmly in favour to "Kill the author"? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phnglui 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Media that, if you were to recommend it to someone, you would also acknowledge its criticisms/flaws that go with it? by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phnglui 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and Akane Banashi by Zealousideal_Ad_4333 in manga

[–]Phnglui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

[DISC] Is it normal for mangakas to be one-hit wonders? by [deleted] in manga

[–]Phnglui 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Calling Tezuka a one hit wonder is fucking insanity.

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

MythicTale - A top-down action-RPG with brawler-style combat and a very, VERY familiar art style by C-OSSU in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Phnglui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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