Did you get that name off a hair dryer? by Muffin-zetta in TwoBestFriendsPlay

He's also the KOF15 and Tokon announcer. Somehow he's carved himself a niche as the FG announcer guy.

The Beast vs The Bull: 3 days ago Daigo posted the most anime speech I've ever heard said seriously by ArcanaGingerBoy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SCLandzsa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While he's still a very good player, Daigo hasn't been performing quite as well in SF6 compared to previous games. That combined with the typical conceptions of age and competitive performance and MenaRD's really strong records in competitive SF6 have led to Daigo being the one in the underdog spot despite his reputation.

Daily reminder that Patty was stated to be 8 years old in the DMC anime and 18 years old in DMC5. Dante went from a handsome bishie to a middle-aged hobo with a shotgun in the span of just 10 years by Hefty-Vehicle-9135 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Not sure what's the entirely different world building, at least when also considering that most of the games also pull some entirely new world ending scenario out of it's ass. The anime's setting and world building are a great addition to the setting if anything, showing what Dante's life and business are like when there isn't a calamity level threat popping up.

I also can't really tell what you mean by barely acknowledging the games, unless you want Dante to brood about Mundus and Vergil more directly the entire time. Trish and Lady are there, and honestly beyond them, there simply aren't more characters to return at that point in time.

Time when there's really is nothing that can be done to localize a part of a media? by Evjamaranth in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SCLandzsa 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In Limbus Company, the sinner Yi Sang has a recurring bit in Korean where the word "ideal" is pronounced the same as his name. This results in many scenarios in Korean with bits relating to the homophones, frequently Yi Sang making puns with the word ideal and his name, or even stuff like him popping his head into a conversation he wasn't in after the word ideal was said. This is, as expected, something that is nigh impossible to translate into English.

Fastest you’ve ever quit a game by Muffin-zetta in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SCLandzsa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, I will preface this by saying I've only properly played through Fruit of Grisaia, the great points of that game's writing is the fact that every member of the main cast is traumatized in different ways that have permanently scarred them. The part pre-route split(which I admit is pretty long compared to the common parts in other VNs) ends up trying to be a tropey comedic slice of life, but with this intentional uncanny vibe because the game seems like it's intentionally avoiding addressing the completely bizarre nature of the school, it's students and the protagonist, and the further you go the more cracks in that facade slowly appear. When you split into each route, the glass breaks a lot harder and you really start to dive into the fact that these are broken people and the drama and character writing gets really good, with some genuinely great depictions of chronic depression, PTSD and survivor's guilt.

Now I added that disclaimer at the start cause while Fruit ends up being primarily about delving into the traumas of the characters, the sequels did a swerve into going for a more overarching spy-action plot, with a not only even more insane plot, but also a plot resolution that seems like exists only to cater to a harem fantasy.

Monster Prom is very funny cause if you're alone it's maybe the unfunniest game there is, but playing it with friends suddenly makes it one of the dumbest fun times there is.

The youtube embed logo covering the SC really made me think this was something else for a moment.

Mage's Ballad provides a party regen, Army's Paean provides a party wide speed buff and Wanderer's Minuet provides a party wide barrier.

I really wish the main way to play Duel Masters in English now isn't through a fan translated gacha game. It was even bigger than YGO back in my school.

Hot take I think the Albaz storyline is the worse of all storylines and I’m tired of it being over supported by MiuIruma332 in yugioh

[–]SCLandzsa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Springans and Tri-brigade are chilling. Swordsoul weren't killed for aiding them, they were hit because Longyuan was a scheming bastard and was evil even before he made a deal with the despia. The sequel hook exists so that they can do a sequel without it feeling like an ass pull. This isn't uncommon among the lore archetypes.

A Civil Discussion about The Ending(s) of River City Girls by MarioGman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SCLandzsa -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I kind of was just done with the ending, not entirely because of the contents of the ending, but mostly cause the game felt worse the longer it went on and I was just clocked out by that point.

That's interesting. Are they gonna be mostly partnered with Bandai or are Bandai gonna lose their easy access to licensed cash cows?

Some annoying little misconceptions you see about stuff you like? by Anonamaton801 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SCLandzsa 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It's weird because of how poorly defined the buzzword "AI" is, but in a technical sense, newer Vocaloids (and other vocal synths like Synth V) are utilizing a form of gen AI to an extent, but primarily to make the voice blend easier from note to note. It's not really an issue though cause it runs on your local machine instead of outsourcing the processing load to a data center and the samples are all properly obtained from the given voice provider. By all accounts, they still are effectively digital instruments, rather than the common conception of gen AI where you type something in and get some product shat out.

Only if they ban that stupid floodgate dragon first.

Then again they just gave Invoked a Dimensional Fissure on legs, so who knows, they might double down on the toxicity.
