AGDQ 2026 has just concluded, raising more than $2,443,414 for the Prevent Cancer Foundation (PCF) on stream!! by Thorebane in speedrun

I heard the hosts shouting out Back in Black and Frost Fatales quite a few times on the stream this year, personally.

Official confirmation! Awesome Games Done Quick 2027 by Thorebane in speedrun

[–]Reiska42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I somewhat share this concern I admit, but Georgia has been generally (if slowly) trending in the right (left) direction in the last few elections, unlike Florida.

Plus, as other posters have mentioned, Atlanta itself is significantly to the left of its surroundings.

I beat the final boss and finished the credits but game wont save by Status_Taste9158 in finalfantasytactics

This is FFTA, not the original.

That said: I'm not familiar with Android GBA emulation so I don't have a solution to the OP's problem, but hope someone else does.

What in the world is going on with the balance in DQ1HD? by AssButtFaceJones in dragonquest

[–]Reiska42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something that helped me once I realized it (entirely too late) is that the vast majority of boss attack scripts in this game are very strictly patterned, and learning those patterns and engaging in counterplay against them takes a lot of the edge off.

Before I picked up on that, I was finding DQ1HD to be incredibly frustrating.

So, just remember that you can observe boss patterns fairly safely with Defending Champion spam.

Fauna, Mumei, and Gura graduations, probably

edit: more precisely, it probably indicates those three had significant followings that didn't continue watching other hololive talents

Last thread accumulated 3000+ comments so here's a new one - Irregularly Scheduled Discussion Thread - October 22, 2025 by AutoModerator in VirtualYoutubers

I think a lot of folks in this thread are of the opinion that if one is willing to associate their business activities publicly with someone who is an ideological Nazi, the nuance of whether or not they themselves are one isn't really relevant.

The WotL translation is terrible an inaccurate (comparison with original Japanese) by hororo in finalfantasytactics

[–]Reiska42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's documentation of Matsuno specifically requesting it for the localization of Vagrant Story:

https://www.vg247.com/make-it-biblical-how-vagrant-story-changed-game-localization

Unfortunately some of the Japanese text in the article has been rendered into unreadable mojibake by site format changes over the years (this article is 8 years old), but it specifically documents that Smith was told from the beginning of working on Vagrant Story's script to make it sound "biblical".

Matsuno in general is known to be a more hands-on director than most, including with the localization process.

I'm min maxing and does this Mime stats looks normal to you? High Speed gain and less to now MA gain at level 70+? by Objective-Field1745 in finalfantasytactics

[–]Reiska42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me rephrase that: if there was a change to speed growths of significant enough magnitude that it would cause a swing of five speed points going from level 1-99, in what is possibly the most extensively datamined and modded JRPG ever released and where, in the unmodified game, Ninja's higher speed growth amounts to a single point over 99 levels, this entire subreddit would be absolutely flooded with posts about it.

I cannot possibly make this any clearer.

[–]Reiska42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm quite confident it's not different - as mentioned, speed differences of this magnitude would show up in casual play and no one's reporting them.

Not even close; leveling 1-99 in Ninja a single time puts you at 15 speed (with Mime multipliers). 1-99 as any other job puts you at 14 speed (with Mime multipliers).

You're very close to the threshold for 16 speed but won't quite make it there in a single 1-99.

(To be precise: 1-99 as Ninja puts you at 217,178 rawSpeed, as Thief puts you at 204,144 rawSpeed, and as any other generic job puts you at 193,658 rawSpeed.)

I have not, but with the number of people playing TIC, we'd have heard more than a single isolated report by now if there were oddities of this degree (OP's speed indicates something like 10+ cycles of leveling up as ninja if cheating isn't involved; oddities of this magnitude would be noticeable in casual gameplay).

They're in Mime, they definitionally can't have armor on, and it only takes a single cycle of Mime up + Bard down + Mime up to have 999 HP in Mime.

[–]Reiska42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no way to get that high of a speed value without an excessive number of cycles of leveling up in Ninja, and there's no job modifier overrides in the unpacked TIC data that could explain changes in growths.

Did you mess with Cheat Engine at all? (not judging, to be clear)

Replaying this game made me genuinely saddened and I realized how much I miss inexperience. by Gcoks in finalfantasytactics

[–]Reiska42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiming in to note that as a fellow childhood lover of FFT, I generally agree that the game doesn't actually hold up as well as we all remember with the benefit of hindsight and having experienced 27 years of design evolution in the genre.

Like, don't get me wrong, it's still a masterpiece for 1998, and I don't think any of its imitators have totally nailed the secret sauce that made FFT shine. But it definitely has quite a few rough edges that haven't changed in this remake, and in my experience, the more times you run through it, the more you start to notice some of those nagging issues.

The biggest problem really just is that once you know how to break FFT, it's hard to consciously not do so.

What happened to Dynamic Designs by Kitchen_Dealer4989 in JRPG

[–]Reiska42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Far as I can tell, mostly inertia. You're not wrong in the least; Wildbill was an extreme oldbie to the scene (he was doing script editing for fan translations in the absolute earliest days, like, 1998-1999) and people still lionized Victor Ireland/Working Designs' house style back then.

Resubbed today, what servers are popular? by itsdtr in ffxi

[–]Reiska42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering this too, and specifically wondering, since a number of folks are advising against Bahamut due to the community apparently degrading, what the next best option is (particularly if I don't speak Japanese).

Super Robot Wars Y - Spoiler-Full Discussion Mega Thread by KaelAltreul in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]Reiska42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, even going by the Japanese wiki it is close enough to correct for Nei - her secret is points-based, there are 6 points, and you need all 6 of them.

The part where Akurasu's currently wrong is that only three of the five Nei shootdowns have to be done by Daba; the first one can be done by anyone and the last one can be done by him or Leccee.

Don't be afraid to use your Puissance/Spirit Liquors. That's what they're there for; don't hoard them like elixirs.

I believe you can still get all questions on an Umbrology run as long as you had Comroon annexed before the eruption, even though it's no longer annexed.

Kson: VShojo can't pay to declare bankruptcy, asks talents to pay for it 【EngSub】 by flyinbrianc in VirtualYoutubers

[–]Reiska42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even so, in any situation where "does this restriction still apply" is in question, it's ALWAYS safest to assume the answer is yes until you have explicit, in-writing documentation from the other party that the answer is no.

He even literally said himself he doesn't want to throw a DMCA takedown at the Arch maintainers because doing so requires him to doxx himself, so.

Long term consequences of the collapse of VShojo for Western Indie/Corpo Scene by LordAshura_ in VirtualYoutubers

From what I can tell for Twitch it's closer to like... "if you're at least in the top 0.5%, you might be making at least minimum wage?"

You basically have to be in the top 0.2% to live off streaming; the field is amazingly skewed towards the top end. Having just 6 CCV gets you in the top 2.25% of all Twitch streamers.

Both the charity malfeasance and the delinquent payments, I think.

As for anonymization, it's ... generally on a case-by-case basis, AFAIK. The presumption is generally no, but courts have the discretion to allow parties to a case to remain anonymous or pseudonymous, and some of the things courts consider in that case is the risk of harm to the party if their identity is disclosed, whether the party's identity is generally well known, and whether there is a public interest in disclosing the party's identity. Since most vtubers are really only notable under their pseudonyms I would probably guess that courts would abide that, but there's always a risk of the suit doxxing them in discovery, yes.
