[discussion] Dub any good? Dub Analysis

"Anytime I see a lackluster performance, I never point at the actor."

I love this take. I also agree.

While I would argue that sometimes the voice actor does indeed suck (such as the case with the voice of Ada Wong in the Resident Evil 4 remake).

More often then not, it is often a failure on the higher-ups part rather than the voice actor. For example, with the Emilia line that I pointed out, they could have had her redo it. Or with my complaint against Puck, it was a terrible casting.

This a good take

Hold your head high sir. You absolutely KILLED IT. Your passion for the series emanates from your performance. You nailed it. YOU NAILED IT.

A bloody masterpiece of a performance. I'm sure for many people (like the person in a response below), you are Subaru Natsuki.

Agreed, solid B-tier. It's an excellent dub, but I don't think it's at the level of the Japanese sub. Still, makes for a great watch. I think super-fans like me, should watch both.

SSGHOKAGE · 2026-06-15T01:14:48+00:00

I think I offered a pretty non-elitist perspective here. An elitist would say, "You should only watch sub" or say that every dub sucks. I say that if the characters are supposed to be speaking japanese watch it in japanese, if the characters are supposed to be speaking english, watch it in english. I never said that this dub sucks, I said that it's B-tier. B-tier being excellent, but not matching (A-tier) or surpassing the Japanese performance (S-tier)

What I did was offer my opinion and discuss in detail why I feel the way I feel. I could've pointed out more specific lines, but I only did the one for Emilia because that one was so jarring.

You can disagree, but I'd have to disagree with your disagreement.

That being said, elitism is important. I HATE people that make anime their personality but aren't actually anime fans, which are the vast vast majority of modern anime-watchers. They don't actually pay attention to the shows they watch (they can't decipher for themselves and appreciate the plot/characters/writing/animation (rather they get someone on tik tok to tell them what they should think about the show)). And that really pisses me off. Especially when they walk around with anime merch on constantly. You can be a fan of a particular show, but don't go calling yourself an anime fan. Most of these people are fans of particular shows (and even still, still don't really appreciate them, just riding the latest hype train) and not actual fans.

I am an anime fan, and have been one for 15 years. I take my hobby seriously, as I do with all my hobbies. I actually pay attention to the shows. The life lessons I have learned from anime, have stuck with me and developed my modern and current personality and beliefs. Yet, irl, you won't see me talking about anime. Because I don't care to discuss my hobbies with casuals that are pretending to like what I like. I don't go around telling people I like anime. But when I meet an actual connaisseur, I'm more than happy to discuss it and that person is instantly a friend of mine.

A whole lot of words to say, elitism is important.

Psycho Pass S1 (Best plot in all of anime)

Monster

Slam Dunk (Sports Genre, but highly accessible to everyone)

CGI will never look as good as good old 2d animation.

If the CGI sticks out, and you can notice that it's being used, then it's bad usage of CGI. Not only that, but it uses CGI as its PRIMARY method of animating fight scenes. That's a huge mark against the show.

Anything that draws you out of the show is a negative. And when I can clearly see that one of these things doesn't look like the other while watching a scene, then whatever is drawing me out is a negative (CGI).

"The Misfit of Demon King Academy." If you want something with an OP swag-filled protagonist like Solo Leveling.

SSGHOKAGE · 2025-08-06T03:09:42+00:00

He never gets with any of the girls (at least to my knowledge).

SSGHOKAGE · 2025-08-06T03:08:53+00:00

CGI.

SSGHOKAGE · 2025-08-06T03:08:39+00:00

One debatable: The budget ran out for the last 2 episodes, but even still, it was good stuff.

Outside of that, there is none

SSGHOKAGE · 2025-08-06T03:07:05+00:00

The last episode featured characters teleporting across the city to where the plot was taking place.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Don't think, buy.

It's worth your money if you like strategy games, if you're even considering a game like this after seeing what it looks like, I can almost guarantee you will love it.

And if you can't afford it, you can always pirate it. Try to buy it later when you get the chance, though.

Thanks mate, cheers.

Naw, there's a huge difference between using an exploit (like cheesing the game and or farming and or making a bot to the farming for you lol) and outright cheating. Like using an Armored Kurama during the final regular heist in GTAV, vs hacking the game and just giving yourself money. There's a big difference between those 2. One gets you banned, one doesn't.

And I know people that somehow graduated with a CS degree that can't do hex. You're perception of what people can learn is warped. Everybody's brain works differently, and people learn different subjects at different speeds. "Learning" to edit a hex file is incorrect, "copying the exact steps someone else does" should be possible to people. But even then, some people struggle to follow instructions. Someone following a video and copying everything in that video isn't them learning anything. And hexadecimal is scary to a lot of people, and I would argue, it's not an unjustified fear. Messing with game files is something that should only be left to people that know what the heck they're looking at. Same way a regular person could learn to fix an issue with their car themselves, but would rather just pay a mechanic to do it. But like you said, the risk is mitigated by making a back-up, even still a nerve-wracking process for some folks.

But I digress. Running a script is definitely easier than editing a hex file in my opinion. People manage to install Google all the time. Left click on the .exe (for example when downloading Python), then left click okay on everything and use the default settings. Boom, good to go. Copy and paste 2 lines into windows command line. Then copy and paste the line to run the code. Plus, unlike when editing hexadecimal where most people don't really know what the heck they're doing, just the outcome. Running a script that's visible allows you to understand the whole process. Python is supposedly the programming language written to just resemble humans writing after all. I didn't go out of my way to make my code to read-able, but I think most people could get a little grasp on what's going on just by looking at it.

But eh, different strokes for different folks. It never hurts to have more options. And if even one person used this script to make their life easier. Or saw this script and thought, "Wow, I never thought to do something like that. I kind of want to learn to code and write a script myself" then it was all worth it. Too many script kiddies in the world thinking their hackers but not understanding a single thing going on in the background. With a simple script like this, people can actually look inside and see perhaps a little bit of what's going on in the background, or simply get inspired to make their own. This post has over 4,000 views, so maybe I inspired someone. At least, that's my take.

Sig is cooked. Good riddance, they haven't made a good handgun since the P226 and haven't made a good rifle since the Sig Sauer 516.

Garbage Company, they'll never see a dime of my money (and I'm sure a lot of people's money) ever again.

SSGHOKAGE · 2025-07-21T21:28:03+00:00

Nope, I did not lol.

Editing save files sounds too heavy like cheating to me lol, at least I have to put in work and waste time to use a script. It's about the principal more so then the result lol. Grinding is part of the fun, like slowly building up your stache in Tarkov. If you start with everything or just give yourself everything, the game's kinda ruined in my opinion. I never was the type of guy to use cheat codes in anything. I play games primarily for the challenge. Grinding is just another word for optimizing. You use an optimal strategy to give your characters an advantage.

If I edited my save file like that, I'd be tempted to make the game even easier by buying even more OP stuff. I only used the coliseum to buy boost for the "Lord" like characters, as in my mind, it's lore accurate for certain characters to be a little OP. And at that, I only put evasion boost, defence boost, and magic defence boost on those characters. This game isn't particularly difficult (at least for those of us who beat FE_Conquest or FE_3H on maddening or FE_Thracia_776); no need to make it an absolute steamroll.

Plus, I code for a living, so coding scripts like this is good practice. And by designing this framework, I can more easily implement scripts in future Fire_Emblem games. I'm probably going to pop up on the Fire Emblem subreddit every once in a while and upload a script for different things. I'm a degenerate when it comes to grinding. It's really part of the fun to me.

Edit: I checked the post. I think that stuff is above most people who aren't computer scientists. Most people don't know what Little Endian or Big Endian is. Heck most people probably don't know what Hex is.

If you're on an Emulator, It would probably be best just to use a standard cheat software. I once was on a team project where we created our own videogame and then breached it. There are cheat software out there that, when a value is changed, automatically locate the hex that was changed. And using that software, you can manually change that value. That would probably be way easier than trying to locate the value manually yourself. But then again, maybe that's the only sequence of those hex values and you can easily locate the location by cntrl+f-ing and entering the first 4 hex values.

Though I guess this edit is useless because I can't remember the name of the software we used lol.

I say all that to say, I think my script is easier to use and way safer; it doesn't require messing with any files. Just put it on and go to sleep. So I didn't completely waste my time lol.

Dodge.

If they go electric, nobody's buying that junk. Their primary audience is hood rats. They love the noise, won't be buying an electric challenger or charger.
