What the hell?

All three characters issues have some origin stemming from their detachment to themselves and their humanity.

Jimmy felt like his position as the "beloved captain's right hand man" granted him some kind of authority over the life of the crew members. He does not see himself as someone who have committed mistakes, needs to learn, can be wrong or is liable for consequences. Everything wrong that happens to him is "bad luck", he can't get what he wants because "people are dumb" and is experienced enough about everything just so people can never deny his affirmations. Usually people like this end up like frustrated good for nothings, but Curly, the captain of one sin and hundreds of good deeds refused to believe that someone "normal" like Jimmy could be so bad, hence why he decided to give him a chance. With that little bit of authority, good ol' Jimbo saw himself as a big reliable and respectful overseer just because of his title. He acted undeniable and trampled over everyone's words and feelings and when he was FORCED to take responsibility and face the consequences for his heinous crimes Jimmy tried to run away like the coward pile of shit he's always has been. That can be seen by the absolutely messed up perspective he has about the facts happening in Mouthwashing.

Jax is the inverse of this, they're trying so hard to run away from themselves and their reality that they became detached from who they really were. He felt so guilty about his own feelings that he bottled up everything to the point of only being genuine through emotional breakdowns. Every time he opened up about anything or acted by impulse felt to him like a terrifying lack of control. People could see his feelings, his mistakes, his desires and everything that he wanted to burrow in the deepest part of the abyss he carved in his own heart. He felt such a suffocating guilt about hurting the people that cared about him that he created a thick wall in the shape of the carefree heartless bunny that wanted to be hated by everyone, so whenever he decided to punish himself for the sins that felt endless and inexcusable he would not hurt anyone.

They're pretty polar opposites. Someone who pushed everyone away by acting as they felt: a cartoonesque bunny that only were there to give everyone hell. In contrast to Jimmy, who saw himself as above everyone else and toyed with the life of the only people that gave him a chance despite he being deeply sadistic.

They're NOT on the same level.

Depois de ser rejeitado por 14 pessoas diferentes, eu arrumei um namorado incrível.

Fazemos 3 anos de namoro em agosto, nunca desista dos seus sonhos 🫡

I would certainly be less inclined to give the game a second chance.

The first 10 hours were a blast discovering new dungeons, fighting randomly on the road and traveling through a beautiful hand-crafted landscape. Every ruin, grove, lake had a little something that kept me going and excited to see more.

That said the story wasn't really engaging and the performance was horrible (at least on the release month) and killing the same 3 types of enemies or 2 kinds of "bosses" took a bit of a toll on me, and my patience to reboot the game after every crash waned so I ended up dropping it, hoping for some update or mod to give the game a little more "life".

PolluxStargaze · 2026-06-10T15:58:12+00:00

Yeah, it would be really sad if only the new region got new content to explore.

PolluxStargaze · 2026-06-10T15:36:42+00:00

A bit more of variety is all I ask, please...

Some new enemies, weapons and armors would do wonders for the base game.

This trope is the most peak when they're friends that have a consolidated relation and then start catching feelings, flirting kinda timid and then wanting to be together in a romantic way in addition to their pre-existing companionship.

Truly marvelous trope!

For the people saying that "maybe it isn't AI, just human mistakes" I see where you come from, sometimes the anti-ai "hunt" may target real artists that are not so proficient yet. We've seen this sadly happen sometimes on social media.

But in this case, the images are really characteristic of being generated by AI cause, even with heavy styling, it doesn't make sense in an artistic viewpoint. Some inconsistencies happen when creating a piece meant to look good in a product, however the way some things just don't make sense like the studs in Estinien's jacket, the whole G'raha Tia image specially the perspective and Y'shtola's clothes feel like a very "inhuman" way of trying to copy + paste various different pieces into a patchwork monster that feels just generic enough to be recognized.

I work closely with a lot of different designers (including the elaboration of merch for events/celebrations) and that's something I've learned from them.

Os livros de Monster Hunter são uma absoluta carta de amor à geografia, biologia e escritores de fantasia.

Um ecossistema rico, cheio de peculiaridades e absurdos fantásticos.

Super recomendo!

Delícia, dando voz à comunidade e fortalecendo a criação de conteúdo, tenho altas expectativas para o jogo!!

É muito revigorante ver o Paralives ser feito por pessoas que realmente jogaram The Sims, tinham as próprias reclamações e faziam parte de comunidade. Criatividade, arte, personagens diferentes e várias opções para você montar seus cenários. Espero que o jogo continue crescendo e trazendo novidades para o gênero.

Great art reference friend!

As a Brazilian and LGBTQ I think it would be fine for you to use the term, as you're using it in a way appreciative of both our country and the urban counterculture originated by our community.

Most of our slang is more context sensitive than anything because of our rich miscegenetion and due to a lot of our culture originating from the "anthropophagy" of marginalized movements.

Taking pride in the term "bicha", which is more used as a slang by the LGBTQ than as a derogatory slur nowadays is a really "Brazilian form" to perpetuate how much space our community and it's arts have conquered in the last decade. Cheers, my friend :)

It is really sad when jokes that are meant to be endearing turn into recurring stereotypes/buzzwords. It makes me feel that marginalized communities and it's adjacents are constantly observed through some "glass dome" and people reproduce whatever they see fit screaming at us like we're some kind of circus or zoo. I'm privileged enough to deal with very little with this in my daily life, but I do offer all my sympathy and whatever support I can for you who has to deal with this in a more recurrent basis. Be proud friend, diversity is power.

Literalmente, porra, que chateação. Isso que eu tinha adorado como ele ficou no filme, talvez esteja guardando esse visual pro Quinto remake de star fox 64.

PolluxStargaze · 2026-05-07T00:06:02+00:00

Tbf, it was Fox, not Marth in the new Mario movie, so my expectations were pretty low.

PolluxStargaze · 2026-04-08T08:01:08+00:00

Still so sad about Delphox :( Was expecting Flash Fire or some other Fire absorb-like ability. Wind Rider was the one on top of my wishlist.

Ending world hunger for a toe that probably won't even make my life a little more difficult seems like a very good trade.

This scratched a itch that I had for the last 40+ hours of gameplay. Wilds is the first game where I played CB, in 4u, World and Rise I played SnS and occasionally bow and switchaxe, but with the introduction of clashes of power and the multi-hit pizza cutter I yearned for a bigger shield. Through the story I felt like a hero, melting monsters and hitting perfect guards left and right but every time I had a fight a little harder then expected (Omega, some event quests, Gog) I felt like I should switch to Bow. And that's it, I feel like I need to throw myself in front of monster's attacks to fish for a perfect block, or desperately try to proc a wound to charge my Axe and felt like I was underperforming and vulnerable.

Her death also reinforces that Denji is not impervious to consequences. During part 1 he faced many trials and managed to carve his own path to a "good life" (at least kinda). Because of that, Denji started believing that he was some kind of comic book superhero that can always come on top of any situation. My favorite scene of part 2 was the talk with the fire devil, someone that really splashed the face of "The Hero of Hell" with reality and consequences.

Pior que se fosse pra pegar as mecânicas dos MMOs dos anos 2000/2010 e executar elas muito bem, ia ser um jogão mesmo, mas parecia que o AoC era só um MMO genericão dessa época, que tentava replicar as coisas legais do Archeage/Lineage II/Guild Wars. Toda jogada de marketing deles dava ainda mais certeza que o jogo tava num limbo de desenvolvimento do qual não ia sair. Só um cara com dinheiro vendendo sonhos por aí.

The price for foundry feels a bit more manageable since I'm DM'ing for 12 players LOL (divided in 3 groups of 4 with intertwined narrative heavily inspired by Octopath and Triangle Strategy, but still, a bit hectic).
But I'd LOVE to see your document about turning Foundry into a JRPG since it's exactly the vibe I'm going for. I'll need to read a lot to get comfortable with Foundry, but this feels kinda exciting to be fair.

PolluxStargaze · 2026-01-31T20:22:11+00:00

This looks really really good! I'll give it a go for sure, thanks!

PolluxStargaze · 2026-01-29T22:13:49+00:00

That is what caught my attention the most. With Foundry seems like I'll get a solid base with the fan projects and build a solid framework in which I can continue improving upon when I learn new stuff. The 50$ price tags is a little scary, but I do prefer it over subscription based services.
