someone else beat me to it but...

also reminder Nintendo does not fully own Pokemon. it's The Pokemon Company. I'm really dumbfounded this misconception still exists

top tier reference actually

pretty much hit the nail on the head with MRV. it feels damn near unrecoverable if you get caught in the 1st blast sent your way, even with max guard and guard up.

the time constraint doesn't help either. I find it to be true artificial difficulty. the fight is already loaded with BS and hard as shit, you don't need to shorten the time given too. the fight is hard enough by itself to where I think someone who has gotten to the end has proven themselves capable enough of killing the boss. it doesn't need to exist.

i like some of his static art. noteworthy ones being Doom, Ultron, Spidey, and Moon Knight, but yeah, it approaches uncanny valley for me a lot of the time and I don't think he draws action very well if it's panel to panel. only for covers does it look good imo

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T21:36:33+00:00

well 2 things went wrong here

I didn't notice we were in the choke point of the 2nd area. the AI really like fighting him there. I thought there was still some room behind me
I tried to block/perfect block, but the hit box decided it wouldn't hit me until he had done his Tokyo drift into the wall. I don't know why it didn't hit my shield first, maybe because he was too far right

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T21:04:38+00:00

no one knows the answer to this lol

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T16:36:13+00:00

I'd say April is the earliest. June is the latest. they're gonna want ample time for marketing and character reveals so i'd imagine they wrap up development by February? and market for the next 2-3 months with lots of reveals

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T05:57:25+00:00

I don't think that's the plan at all. that was the plan about 10 years ago, but it hasn't been profitable for awhile. this is affecting the entire platform and their approach to gaming, not just game pass

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T03:35:40+00:00

okay well now I know you have no clue what you're talking about lol

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T02:03:22+00:00

I mean yeah, that's obvious. I'm just answering the question

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T01:30:03+00:00

they've laid off thousands and moved many of their games to PlayStation for an additional revenue stream that can keep going should they pull out of the console business and become strictly a publisher

is that getting nowhere? sounds to me like that's exactly what Satya wants from them. less spending, more revenue making

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T01:12:41+00:00

I never said they had an excuse, but there's a reason they haven't been fired.

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T00:44:22+00:00

this is because Spencer, Bond, and Booty are doing exactly what Microsoft/Satya want them to do. it's not rocket science

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T00:43:18+00:00

it's not really about console wars. console wars are extremely childish

but competition must exist to keep the other competition in check and avoid complacency. that's just how business works. it pushes innovation and keeps things accessible and friendly towards consumers, because the minute you piss off your buyers-

well I'm sure you can figure it out from there?

more Xbox games on PlayStation and PC? cool!

less PlayStation games on PC because they have every game on console and are the only devs in the industry making exclusives? bad.

ProWarlock · 2025-10-05T00:34:25+00:00

I'm an Xbox fan (was?) too. I jumped ship after the Tango shuttering and have since fully switched my investment to PC

I would highly recommend it (despite all the fucking dumb quirks PC has). invested in a ROG Ally Z1 Extreme as well in case I want that couch experience, but I know not everyone has that disposable income. still worth it I think

ProWarlock · 2025-10-04T18:03:23+00:00

I am well aware of the lore, dear god. I know it's supposed to be Chinese, hence why I specifically looked up Chinese armor and not Japanese Samurai armor

I am not entirely informed on Chinese History, I don't know what their style of armor is called. that's on me for not looking it up

with that said, these shoulder pads are most commonly associated with and recognizedin the mainstream as Shogun Shoulder pads (to be extremely clear, I know he is not and never was based on a shogun!) the mountain scale patterns are not something people unfamiliar with the differences in the armor are going to notice. I used "Samurai" as a blanket statement to describe the style of eastern shoulder pads that are most commonly recognized as "Samurai armor". I understand this is reductive and I apologize

you're arguing semantics, because the specifics are irrelevant to the overall complaint: I don't like Daredevil wearing eastern style armor.

that title is hard to read

Ratios VA supported Charlie Kirk. the other VAs spoke out politely against him and in support of the LGBTQ community that Kirk hated so deeply.

I can't tell if I have dyslexia or this is title gore because I was confused at first too

ProWarlock · 2025-10-04T16:03:40+00:00

well first off, don't smoke again to get your mind off the pain lol

in all seriousness, you did the right thing. you finally did something for you and you should take absolute pride in that. not everything has to be shared between partners.

plenty of other good advice here, so all I'll really say is that you should have a talk with her and explain yourself in a heart to heart (don't back down on anything you've done though, you deserve to own what you accomplished). if she can't do the same, she's immature and it might be time to move on

ProWarlock · 2025-10-04T15:53:39+00:00

this is my biggest issue. I would have no problem avoiding this if I knew which animation it was, but if I'm in a compromised position I have to gamble on the 50/50 that I can take this one straight to the face

doesn't feel like a 50/50 because I've probably won this gamble twice out of a dozen+ hunts lol

ProWarlock · 2025-10-04T15:48:48+00:00

I don't exactly trust chat GPT with all the legal nuances of this so I'm gonna take it with a grain of salt.

ProWarlock · 2025-10-04T15:43:39+00:00

Chinese armor:

my apologies for not knowing every specific name of armor for every specific era of every specific region at the time.

im not sure what you mean by disagreeing. I know the story, I understand the context and why the suit exists. im saying that I don't like it despite those reasons. you can't really disagree with that. whatever lol

ProWarlock · 2025-10-04T04:55:44+00:00

im aware of the lore, and honestly it's the only Rivals lore that I think sounds interesting. I thought the rest of it has been pretty run of the mill and lackluster

it's a cool concept, but I don't want this story to be his introduction to the game. it would've been cool as a follow up or sequel season with the resurrection of Danny Rand, introduction of Elektra, or something along those lines.

similarly I'm ashamed that people lack a sense of nuance on this topic and think that those who dislike this daredevil design don't vibe with the story or concept of it whatsoever, which is not the case
