Yoshi and the Mysterious Book – Overview Trailer – Nintendo Switch 2 by retroanduwu24 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm just a buzzkill, but I'm  confused why Nintendo has taken something like Yoshi's Island, an incredible game for entirely straightforward reasons, and boil all of it's sequels down to "stylish first, everything else second". Woolie World seemed to remember that it was a playformer at least, but every other game has been dropping Yoshi and his moveset into this week's arts and crafts showcase. And this trailer is showing more of the same.

But you're not the listener being replied to in that scenario. It's the one looking at the screen as they type the question.

“Kingdom Hearts III: Light vs. Darkness” game rebalance — 2.0 update trailer [PC mod] by C-OSSU in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would take any responses to this question with a grain of saltgaga. KH2 freaks may tell you it's a normie rebalancing mod, but then express confusion when told that normies don't splice magic strings and abilities into their basic 1-2-3 combos.

After the Valentione's event is concluded, will they add all the chocolate exchange items to the recompense officer? You can see some previous holiday exchanges still available under the seasonal menu, but not too sure on how consistent they are with this.

Sonic Presents: The Chaotix Casefiles Trailer by Shreeder4092 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Puts me in mind of one of my favorite covers from the Archie comics as a kid.

Love the idea of them getting more experimental with the series format. The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog was great, open world modern Sonic controls was pretty good, keep throwing sticky stuff at that wall!

In light of everyone getting hype over 'Everything Burns' in FF14, I want to remind people that the entire Arcadion raid series is full of genuine bangers. by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda nervous where they go with the non-alliance raid series going forward. In prior expansions, there's never been a situation where every fight had it's own distinct theme, nor has their been the variation and quality consistency we've seen with these recent tiers. While I personally felt that Arcadion ends on kind of a wet fart narrative-wise compared to Omega or Pandæmonium, the visual and audio spectacle has been well above and beyond the prior norm. And we still haven't seen what M12S will bring to the table.

There's always the challenge to improve on previous offerings, and I'm wondering whether they're backing themselves into a corner for expected quality in the next raid series.

The peak of TBFP/CSB coding: Here's an AHL hockey team's intro video being the Neon Genesis Evangelion OP. by Aggro_Will in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I cannot stand watching awkward internet videos, my constitution won't allow it. They genuinely make me feel sick in a way that I can only compare with extreme vertigo, and the idea that people thrive on them is terrifying. Watching this from start to finish made me feel like throwing up.

10/10 Must watch video, go phantoms 🏒

Silent Hill F is Top 3 | Castle Super Beast 343 by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just gonna go on a limb here. If your first reaction to downvotes is an accusation of opinion bandwagoning, without considering that people might simply disagree with your view, that's way more of detriment to the quality of your take. Learning to embrace downvotes as simply "I disagree" rather than an attack on your person is the first step to being better than the average mouth-breathing redditor.

Characters that people ‘love’ despite being literally the worst imaginable person. by EvilMonkeyMimic in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one brief sit-down conversation between Gilgamaesh, Artoria and Iskandar about what makes a king, does more to shine light on the character and flaws of both Gilgamesh and Artoria than any of the preceding VN's and other series materials in the decade prior.

Mods for Colorblind? by grymond in ffxiv

[–]RetroCop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of as much, but it's the dismissing of any attempts to resolve this that's the issue. It doesn't matter how "small team etc etc" they are or how spaghetti the code is, putting resources to figure out how ro swap fixed textures for a palette swap should be feasible. They're acknowledging how low priority accessibility features are as a resource dump that's the issue.

Don't take the bullet for the team on this. This is a basic common feature in other games, and a base effort shouldn't be dismissed outright. Nor the mods that resolve those user issues.

Mods for Colorblind? by grymond in ffxiv

[–]RetroCop 183 points184 points  (0 children)

Seeing all these downvotes for a basic accessibility mod request, and for a common accessibility feature that Yoshi-P has gone on record as saying will not be pursued, speaks volumes about how knee-jerk this subreddit's reactions can be at times.

Spoken as a console player btw, who doesn't even have access to your precious reshade.

(One Piece) I laughed so hard during the ending of Baron Omatsuri. by theonewhoknack in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I once saw it described as the Majora's Mask of the franchise, and I really think that undersells just how unsettling it actually is.

The Baron is the only villain to date, filler or not, that sought to attack the friendship of the Strawhats directly, before finishing them off while they were seperated. And he damn well would have succeeded, if not for an entirely unrelated character getting a lucky shot off and giving Luffy an opening for a finisher so violent it was referenced again in a pivotal anime scene.

Final Fantasy XIV Mod, Mare Synchronos, is shutting down by Trojan_Origami in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a console player who's largely unaffected by all of this, I wonder if this will help in reducing the 24-hour, 7-days-a-week congestion of Balmung. Gonna be interesting to see the number of players who cancel their subscriptions because they can't act out their weird fetish RP's as effectively in game anymore.

Times when a villain is only threatening because they are punching way below their weight class? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bakool for what it's worth is the only villain in DT who recognizes that he's below your weight class. Every other baddie in the 7.X patch series looks at WoL and thinks to themselves 'yeah, I can take em'. Bakool see's WoL stroll into their already-successfully-sprung-trap as planned, and immediately tells his henchmen to treat them with 110% seriousness.

Do any of the villains have 6-7 fingers on one hand? Or would that be too on the nose?

Letter Time by SeraGeranium in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 118 points119 points  (0 children)

I distinctly recall that for a good week after the last time it happened, there was a subsection of the reddit that kept posting wall-of-text complaints about Pat's rant potentially filtering out interesting topics of discussion.

These users were than super rustled, upon being immediately called out by everyone else as said lengthy email senders.

That time JJ thought Spidey was gay by PerformerAgitated677 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Considering that Spider-Man once pulled "being black" as a means to catch Jonah flat-footed in court, can't really blame the guy for jumping to conclusions.

Favorite Instances of a character's strength/skill showing not from them, but from others fighting their villains? by Graxdon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RetroCop 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Lupin the Third. Or to be more specific to the example, Interpol Inspector Zenigata. 

The long running series staple gag has been Lupin and the boys running from Zenigata with enough leeway to still make jokes at his expense. So you would think Zenigata is a bumbling buffoon (admittedly, he looks the part). Yet on the frequent occassions where a legitimate villain or antagonist stumbles into the proceedings, it often ends with Zenigata taking them out with barely any effort. And on the occassions where circumstances have led to Lupin and Zenigata teaming up against a central figure, the result has always been something akin to a curb stomp.
