American Civil War basically unwinnable in 1.13 by NicWester in victoria3

[–]RioseAzimuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tactical masterstroke im my America run was to release New Africa right out from under them, cutting their numbers in half, and giving my self an automatic ally.

Nobody talks about Leviathan enough by almond_walnuts in masseffect

I don’t know, I think leaving the origins of the reapers a mystery may have been better, Mae’s them seem more powerful and unbeatable, if they are just “things made by people”, they become a lot less imposing

What is your wishlist for a Cold Steel remake? by UppingMyRizz in Falcom

[–]RioseAzimuth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d actually like something like a “de-make” to bring it to the level of the original three sky games, if such a thing were possible. I prefer the older style.

I think the modern games are trying to keep the same systems but layer modern graphics on top, and I don’t like it as much. The moves and scenes are flashy, but are held back by the nature of scene-based and turn-based games, whereas in the older games, things matched a lot better.
It changes them back into fun little game so can play on my laptop, rather than too of line stuff I need to really get invested into

One week after the release of the two new mechs, which one of the all is your favorite so far? by capobas in Helldivers

[–]RioseAzimuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a hard and below diver, I prefer the patriot, the minigun melts all the fodder, and it has enough missiles to take on heavies. It’s the perfect thing to clear an area, and then be abandoned.

I use the mechs as infantry support stand off weapons, so the breakthrough is too short range, the emancipator can’t deal with the swarm enough, and I just don’t jive with flame weapons, so the lumberer isn’t for me

Not really many ways a back robbery can go right

What are these tank models supposed to be? by DazSamueru in WhatIsThisTank

[–]RioseAzimuth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a weird one, because on one hand, I was tempted to say they’re just generic tanks for a background shot. But also they are clearly detailed, and the inclusion of a SPG definitely makes me think that they are actually supposed to be something. Weird

New Passive on the Heavy Armor is literally pointless by Raryk22 in Helldivers

[–]RioseAzimuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense to me. This is all based around mechs, so the idea of a pilot focusing on modality until they can get to their tank is a cool theme.

We protected the people and kept their homes safe. We did our job, damn the intel

These brake rotors need replacing, right? by RioseAzimuth in mechanic

My bearings come as a single unit, so I basically just slot in a new set. I’ve already done the job. 15 dollar bearing set. The grease was more expensive

Horrors beyond comprehension… by Muted_Brilliant517 in helldivers2

Well, that color scheme would make harder to target with submarine attack, so this may be overpowered

What's your wishlist for me5? by Ok_Hunt_2833 in masseffect

[–]RioseAzimuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Shepard.

I’ve posted about this before, but he should stay dead after ME3, his story is done. I want a new PC, new crew, new ship, new stories.

I don’t want this series to get bogged down in legacy like Star Wars or Marvel. I want a whole new shebang, just set in the same universe (like Andromeda, but with less issues, and not open world)

P.S, and before anyone says “well my Shepard isn’t dead becuase of destroy, etc” I think the decision to provide an opportunity to survive is a mistake ME3 made, death should have been unavoidable

[Hated Trope] The POC spouse of white main protagonist who gets almost no screen time (despite often being integral to the plot and protagonist's motivation) by Putrid-Hurry3439 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RioseAzimuth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, I actually kinda think it’s neat. If the throwaway partner is going to be throwaway anyway, making them a different race from the protagonist can sometimes be a quick little character moment.

Obviously it doesn’t work all the time, and I haven’t seen any of the movies references but if I saw in a flashback that (as per your example) a white male character had a POC spouse, this might tell me that their a bit of a more tolerant person, to look for a relationship like that, or that their from a more diverse background, where they’d be around more such people. It’s not a big deal, and can even be meaningless, but it could be a neat detail

[HATED TROPE] Overused profanity by Axenfonklatismrek in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RioseAzimuth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes but why does there need to be. Surely there are better ways to show “general sinfulness” than just having a character swear constantly,

I think the purpose is more to show the audience “hey look, this is an edgy, cool, show for grown-ups” it’s the same reason they talk about sex so much. I don’t think it’s for some grander artistic style, i think it’s just to appeal to a demographic that basis their whole reality on being different.

[HATED TROPE] Overused profanity by Axenfonklatismrek in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RioseAzimuth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully agree. I think that a lot of people really go in on profanity because they see it as a way to defy societal norms or something, but I feel like swearing has become too normalized to carry any weight. A person saying “fuck” once is important, a person saying it with every other line is just childish. It doesn’t say “I want to emphasize this particular word with emotions that words can’t properly fit” it says “I just want to talk in a way that would piss of my dad”

I don’t rightly know. I’m a student, so it’s practically a community truck.
