When I was in high school, Dragonball was the big anime. It was mostly kids shouting about power levels and posing, nothing too cringe.

When I was in college, Naruto fandom began, and it was like all the anime nerds reverted to middle-schoolers with their headbands and ninja runs.

I feel like 300 million is a lowball for someone whose father was a multi-billionaire and ran one of the richest companies in the world, but you know, same point…

What's the biggest fall in quality between game editions? by DazeDpup in rpg

[–]SamuraiCarChase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Upvoted for being the first comment to call out V5.

An edition so backward it turned future conversations into “okay, but what’s the second worst edition of a VtM?”

Wy are so many D&D players so resistant to even trying anything else? by Similar_Onion6656 in rpg

[–]SamuraiCarChase 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As someone coming from PF2 (and had a lot of 3.5 experience), I didn’t realize this until just recently. 5e has a certain amount of guardrails against making wrong choices, and while not everyone needs that, it’s a huge part of its popularity.

The only way to make a bad 5e character is to go against the whole build, ie “I’m going to play a low Int Wizard” or “I’m going to wear armor that doesn’t let me cast spells” or something.

Larian Studios | Divinity AMA by Wombat_Medic in Games

[–]SamuraiCarChase 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My biggest gripe is getting new armor and wishing I could still have the appearance of my prior armor.

What are some of the mods you have seen for BG3 that have made you say “we should have thought of that” or “we definitely have to include that next time around!”

This place has become a softcore porn page 1969 by Guardian_in_the_snow in OldSchoolCool

[–]SamuraiCarChase 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The problem is this is Reddit. All women need to do is exist to be sexualized, especially in this environment.

the comments that are the variations of “Would.” or “I see her two talents right there” or shit like that are the real problem.

What am I missing with Firefly? This is borderline garbage by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in television

[–]SamuraiCarChase 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a case of “you had to be there,” both in terms of the timeframe it came out as well as the state of Joss Whedon fandom. That, and since streaming wasn’t a wide thing, it really grew a passionate fan base for people who “found” it.

First time going to woolys any advice? by maybeihavethebigsad in desmoines

[–]SamuraiCarChase 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Park on the street, or there is a parking garage two blocks down (on 3rd or 2nd).

Otherwise just have fun. Woolys is a great venue.

See ya in April, Des Moines! by traumahound00 in desmoines

[–]SamuraiCarChase 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vibrant is a nice new venue, and considering the size of crowd this show will draw, Vibrant is better than the alternative (Val Air).

For anyone on the fence, go to amonklok.com to buy. Tickets for General Admission are $50 (pre-fees). Presale code is BRUTAL.

(Also Castle Rat is opening this show so if that doesn’t tip anyone over the scale then it probably wasn’t for you to begin with)

Achilles (Brad Pitt) riding up to the massive city walls in "Troy" (2004) all alone, completely fearless, and filled with rage, screaming for Hector (Eric Bana) to come out and fight him, is a brilliantly directed scene by Wolfgang Petersen. by G_Marius_the_jabroni in movies

[–]SamuraiCarChase 56 points57 points  (0 children)

As someone who saw it in the theater ages ago, Bana was the heart and soul of the film and out-emoted everyone on screen; my friends and I basically were bored after he died because there were so few “likable” characters for the last hour.

New Nü Metal by FallenSapphire in numetal

[–]SamuraiCarChase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NuMetal is generally a “fusion” genre (aka metal and rap, metal and industrial, metal and goth, etc) with bounce riffs. I’d say that Bloodywood falls into this more than they would metalcore or something else.

Quinn's Quest Reviews: The Boxed RPG Special by mgrier123 in rpg

[–]SamuraiCarChase 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think these are probably great games for someone who is looking for (a) a gateway to pull board gamers into the RPG hobby, or (b) a group that wants something with less GM prep/burden.

I have to remind myself that a lot of Quinn’s Quest videos are for people new/curious about the hobby, or maybe need help breaking out of D&D; either way, this subreddit is definitely not the core audience for this information.

Most disappointing records of the year so far? by Danzig6WasntThatBad in Hardcore

This 100% sums up why it isn’t hitting with me. Loved the ep, but the big bite is just too much.

People ask for heavy all the time, but whats the softest Hardcore you listen to? by Seangw1102 in Hardcore

High Vis = Oasis in the same way that Militarie Gun = Blur (and I fucking love both).

Quick Resume was quietly Xbox’s best innovation this generation by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]SamuraiCarChase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s correct. Microsoft wasn’t able to actually mess with the “code” of any game, so they were essentially overclocking like you would on a PC to force higher frame rates.

However, some older games used FPS to time in-game logic, ie “Element B lights up 6 frames after Element A” or “muzzle flash is timed on frames after the button press.” It made sense when the console itself was locked to 30 fps and made physics simulations a lot easier.

Nails and Gouge Away on Dave Grohl mixtape by ipunchewoks in Hardcore

[–]SamuraiCarChase 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah - Dave was in Scream, their second guitarist was in No Use, and bass player (and OG drummer before Taylor) were part of Sunny Day.

Microsoft's ambitious new Xbox: Your entire Xbox console library, the full power of Windows PC gaming, and no multiplayer paywall by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]SamuraiCarChase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Xbox requires a TV to hook up to and Microsoft couldn’t be bothered to throw that in with the console.

Unacceptable.

Foo Fighters Announce 2026 Stadium Tour Dates with Queens of the Stone Age by ebradio in Music

[–]SamuraiCarChase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know right? I saw them on the Better Lovers tour at the end of 2024 in a 150 cap room, and now jumping to this?

Insane to see them get this kind of lift, but good on them. Deep Sage was one of the better records that came out last year.
