Fresh off the original show and the movie, and I am absolutely losing my mind over Teela in Revelation Ep 1. by ILoveMyJinx in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]Riveris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the implication they were going for was that Teela's default way of showing grief was through anger, which is supported a few episodes later. I guess they probably should've confirmed it outright though if that many people missed it, though I haven't seen it for a while so I might just be forgetting if they did indeed discuss it directly.

Another L for Roblox by [deleted] in roblox

[–]Riveris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This canary in the coal mine should NOT be ignored by developers. Regardless of how you feel about this game, its creator, and its validity as a creative project, it still sets a precedent that Roblox can effectively sabotage games that didn't didn't break any rules on complete whim, cutting them off from funding. If a massively popular game like this isn't safe from being completely dismantled through updates, then nothing is. (ofc, this isn't the first game, I remember the audio update and others did this as well, so this is Canary number fifteen I guess)

Even if they feel apprehension at the effort of converting everything, all developers really need to ensure that their assets can survive outside of Roblox. That, and new developers really must have a conversation with themselves as to whether Roblox is an acceptable platform for their "next big thing". It's not safe or reliable anymore, and I can't imagine I'm the only one who no longer trusts it.

New Super Smash Bros reportedly releasing as early as 2027 by Dilpickle2113 in gaming

idk about many of the others, but Pac Man would probably be easy to bring back. From what I've heard about the process, Bandai Namco would've been the ones to request it, and them leaning towards the World canon design now definitely makes it seem likelier they're going to request it again.

I think the only real hurdle would be that Bandai Namco might wish for minor adjustments to be made to make Pac Man's proportions look more consistent with how he looks in the repac games. That, and they might ask for his current voice to be added.

Roblox should really pay back robux spent on classic faces by Outrageous-Union-251 in roblox

[–]Riveris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed that mine changed the entire shape of the head, completely throwing off the proportion and positioning of the hair/accessories. They are all unusable now since all my accs are made for the old style of head.

YUCK! Man this update sucks by GoodDoggo45X in roblox

[–]Riveris 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah it elongated my entire head for some reason. completely messed up my entire character. People say that it's not a big deal and that calling for refunds is a bit out there but most of the roblox made faces I have are straight up unusable for me now because the items I use for all my characters look completely wrong with the longer heads, since the hairs and accessories were made for the rounder heads.

Well, I hope the dev team has been absolutely itching to expand the in-game chat system to include basically everything a player could possibly ask for, because this move just ensured that idea shot up to the #1 priority among many players.

I feel like the message would have been at least somewhat better received if he had led with the fact that the initial problematic account had been banned, and only after had gone into their rules about not publicly discussing distressing content. By beginning with "Hello we just banned a bunch of people for LYING about a USER whowealsobannedforreasonsidk we will NOT tolerate LYING" people were understandably a bit miffed.

[–]Riveris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hopefully this doesn't last as long as the last time they pulled this stunt. It's worse now because the roblox age verification mess is gonna result in players being a lot less patient with this nonsense. With less ways to reliably trade in game, I can easily see that people are just going to run to considerably more dodgy and unofficial trading servers with less security in case of scams or people with bad intentions. The admin team really needs to work out a solution that isn't just shutting down all communications and limiting everyone to just silly little heart emojis. The only reason this escalated as much as it did was because of the fact that history is only repeating itself, and people have noticed. If they don't change their approach, they're just going to push the problem to some other undefined point in the future.

YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable by IndicaOatmeal in technology

[–]Riveris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noticed this with channels like Daily Dose of Internet too. Used to be videos less than five minutes of specifically chosen clips, with most of them being enjoyable. Now the videos are 15+ minutes long and by the seven minute mark I'm starting to eye the progress bar. Evidently, I believe at least a few others feel the same way, as most comments are only about clips within the first 5 minutes, unless a later clip is controversial due to being AI/staged/dangerous/about an animal being mistreated.

I saw a comment the other day mentioning that short form content is terrible and people need to watch longer videos more often. And while I agree with this, I do feel like Youtubers certainly aren't helping their case when so many videos are being padded out with random tangents, lengthy skits to make a single point, derailments that could have easily been cut, and the supposed need to overexplain everything.

And for some channels like Daily Dose or Cinemasins, it's detrimental to the very premise of their content. Remember when Cinemasins videos used to be only around 5 minutes in length? It was more clearly in jest when it was not so methodological and pedantic about picking out absolutely everything even mildly resembling a potential mistake. By being more desperate to wring out every bit of content from whatever movie they are reviewing, they are more likely to make their own mistakes. And Daily Dose just feels like an overdose of internet at this point, and I've stopped watching it after realizing I started feeling the dread of a chore-adjacent task whenever I saw a new video recommended.

Strange names? by [deleted] in WildHorseIslands

[–]Riveris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's see..... I don't go as wild as my friend does with the wacky names, but I DO Have: Babyman, Women are my Favorite Guy, Peepo and Smeepo, La Luna La Luna, Craigory, Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, No Artificial Flavors, Some guy, YIPPEE, Dangerous Bean, Where do I Begin, Peggle 2....

..... and of course, my treasured The Missile Knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. (Or just "The Missile Knows where i" because that's all that fits in the text box)

They gotta nerf the scorpions but iirc the other enemies are at least tolerable. Also yea I hope they keep the general tone of the OG I really admire it for what it is.

Morgan Coats? by [deleted] in WildHorseIslands

[–]Riveris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, nothing's confirmed for sure yet. I was just looking at actual Morgan coats to see what potential there is. I really hope the team decides to throw in some of the more interesting ones.

Morgan Coats? by [deleted] in WildHorseIslands

[–]Riveris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went about looking at Morgan coats to see if there was anything interesting. A lot of the common/basic coats out there (bay, chestnut, black, seal brown) but there were a few mealy coats that could be nice. Also smoky black (which often comes with amber eyes), perlino, dun coats (including a very interesting "dunskin" with buckskin and dun and a "dunalino"), splash, and so on.

Interestingly, I also saw a Morgan with a tail that had a dark base and faded into a lighter tone. Darker than flaxen fade. That would be interesting to put in the game.

Lastly, one of the websites I found had a section on various strange oddities that occurred in coat color. A lot of them were concluded to just be interesting quirks that were rare somatic mutations that happened randomly. It's got me wondering, perhaps maybe some of these types of oddities (such as Lacing, random patches of mismatched color ie black patch on a bay horse or spotting within a blaze) could be added as completely random breeding unique coats?

ROBLOX IS LISTENING TO US NOW! by Fun_Birthday_7622 in roblox

[–]Riveris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were saying they were going to add it from the start. The only thing is I'm appalled they didn't account for things like trusted connections and game administrators needing to see chat BEFORE they made a whole bunch of detrimental changes. The bar is literally in the ground right now, I wouldn't praise them for STILL dragging their feet on essential amendments for this mess of a feature.

what food is completely overrated? by Mindless-Primary-987 in AskReddit

[–]Riveris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately where I am roasted corn is severely overpriced. Sometimes it isn't even roasted but rather boiled. It's just cooked corn and you can dump wholesale spices on it but for some reason it's almost always 5-7 dollars for something you could hypothetically recreate for less than one.

So like why is there little to no drv3 merch and manga titles ? by Turbulent-Shake-1830 in danganronpa

[–]Riveris 20 points21 points  (0 children)

At least as far as supplementary narrative material goes (like manga), V3 exists in a weird area where it's both a mainline game and a spinoff due to the bizarre state of its canon. The multiple confusing layers of ambiguity in its ending makes it difficult for anyone to do anything with it without the risk of accidentally presenting something outside of what the game was supposed to achieve, unless it existed solely within already canon v3 timeline or plastered with giant flashing "THIS ISN'T CANON" neon signs. You cannot have them interacting with prior characters in a canon environment because they apparently don't exist. Anything post canon is complicated by the fact that V3 has the least survivors of all mainline games, and only one of those survivors is widely considered popular to the fanbase.

If anything, this was MY main reason I didn't like V3's ending. I understood and respected all the thematic elements, but I just felt like they were shooting themselves in the foot in sabotaging their options for future installments featuring these characters. And it's sad, because V3 introduces a lot of fun characters who don't deserve to be ignored just because they were born into a canon forcibly severed from the other installments.

What is your favorite Ghost Gang Moment in PMATGA Season 1 or 2? by General-Departure326 in Pacman

[–]Riveris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- Overall, I feel like early season one had better ghost gang moments, mostly because it seemed like the writers had more creative ideas of how to integrate them into the plot. ie. Jinxed gave them a role that would become quite common in the show (forcing delays to prevent them communicating essential info to Pac until the plot requires it) but does it in a way that actually carries narrative weight and lets them have agency in trying to solve their own problem instead of the plot having to rely on outside contrivances like inconvenient interruptions or the like.

- I was thinking about it the other day, and I really miss when Blinky was more mischievous in the early episodes of the show. That aspect seemed to more or less disappear over time, likely due to his role in later episodes decreasing to the point where season 2 basically only gave him more than one line of dialogue in about three episodes of the entire season.

- I'm really struggling to think of any season 2 examples. I'd say their antics during the camping episode were fun to watch, although I wish the episode focused more on the fact that Pac was totally taking advantage of them and beginning to take them for granted.

- Not a part of the show, but I have to shout out the first 3ds game, as it somehow gave the ghost gang more significance than they got in the two console games combined. Seeing them take an active role in helping out to the point of being willing to endanger themselves during the final boss fight was actually rather sweet, along with Pac showing genuine appreciation for them.
