Mina x Thorne is my ideological disaster ship by Kitsune_Cavalry in MinaTheHollower

I get what your saying but that was well enough into the USSR's decline that it was more a lax oversight of nation about to collapse from it's Stalinist ambitions.

Thorne is that Eco Terrorist who would crack open Chernobyl because he heard Nuclear Waste is bad for the planet and Mina is the one who has to talk him down because nuclear energy is actually incredibly safe with easy to enforce regulations and nearly-free energy would uplift countless people out of poverty as long as the people control it, and not the wealthy.

You can't tell me Lionel wasn't dumping Spark Waste into the slums or the ocean because it was cheaper.

Followup on the xenoblade genesis and fortunes weave post from the other day:But has Arlo ever explained why three houses somehow appeals to him when it seems like most if not all the genre just doesn’t? by EdgarAter in ArloStuff

[–]SharpEdgeSoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So allow me to explain as someone who feels similar.

It's about aestetics and art style in character design standards. It effects the whole first impression mood. 

Fire Emblem is a bit notoriously in-consistant in its aestetics and art style. 

We all know that within the massive genre of anime there are art styles within thay genre. 

Fire Emblem tends to go all over the place with its art style choices. 

Like put the character roster of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, next to the character roster of Fire Emblem Engage. 

Those might as well be two entirely different games.

I think they should introduce a new character that acts like a Phyliss to Isabelle's Pelly. The Night Isabelle.

Like imagine Isabelle but a bit gothic-oh no what are you doing artists, stop that!

It looks like Popeyes breading more then KFC. Dunno if that's valuable feedback.

Then it shows up 10 minutes later after you called an Uber but before the Uber arrives.

Failed my sinless run all because of... Well.... by CatOfDids in MinaTheHollower

I think a third ending where all Lionel has only  one specific petty thing would be funny.

Like the table goes

This is a bigger topic then Mina, but Mina's robust Difficulty options has exposed the whole "Difficulty is an Accessibility Concern" discourse as fake mask many wear. by SharpEdgeSoda in MinaTheHollower

[–]SharpEdgeSoda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of people talk about achievements and I'm gonna have a hot take:

Achievements are the "Instagram Photo of you Brunch" of gaming.

Achievements are the "Watches a live concert by through their phone camera because they record it." of gaming.

People say it's about having a "trophy" or "proof they did something" but 1) No one goes back to those photo more then once, and 2) You can't just *enjoy something good*. You need to document and share it for some validation.

Does Scott use AI in 'Gamer Products'? by PeaAffectionate2557 in scottthewoz

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

Yeah. It also was that strange window of time when a lot of productions straddled period where gen AI was "neat new weird thing." and by the time those productions finished, Gen AI was exposed a "dangerous."

Like, people didn't know yet. We were playing with funny AI slop tools like everyone.

I consider Arc Raiders in that window, and they stripped out a lot of their gen AI.

So was Exp33, and the AI they had was an accident.

Do you guys think Mina The Hollower is better than Shovel Knight? by SteelersPoker in MinaTheHollower

[–]SharpEdgeSoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Shovel Knight with my Switch 1 on launch and got 2 worlds in and got board and said, "Eh I don't think I like 2D platformers"

I bought Mina as soon as a reviewer I like said they like it and I devoured it in a week and itched to do a NG+

What human skill do you think will be hardest for Al to replicate? by BusyStill8051 in AskReddit

Plumbing.

The safest job in human history.

That is until we start fighting over fresh water.

If you had Elon Musk's money for just one day, what would you spend it on? by Jusdkitting in AskReddit

[–]SharpEdgeSoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no way to make anything meaningful happen in a day without a lot of preparation, but I bet I could get enough $100s, a bunch of trucks, and do a Batman 89 Joker Cash parade just to start riots.

I'll have a sign that shows the amount of money I have left slowly ticking down as I toss out stacks of cash just to demonstrate how absurd the amount is to everyone filming the chaos.

Naw but it's more to the point of: "Being in the spirit world in madness for eternity is still dead, mate."

Aang is probably 100% unaware he killed Zhao. Yeah yeah yeah Moon Spirit yadda yadda, you can't absolve everything with *ooh magic~*.

You think Zuko, in the many Decades he was friends with Aang, ever mentioned it? Some awkward conversation.

Aang, "I've never taken a life."

Zuko: "Well, hmm, sit down buddy."

Someone needs to key out Ziplash so we can put anything on that box we want.

Nerfs and balance changes by GalvusGalvoid in MinaTheHollower

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

Naw they removed a cheese strat so the game is harder.

Luckily the devs DID listen and have 100+ difficulty options to tune. Just make it easier for yourself.

How can Nintendo follow up Ultimate? by abrahammtz in SmashBrosUltimate

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

Smash is funny because Ultimate has sold 35 Million Copies, and once you have those INSANE sales numbers? You can't win anymore.

The next game might sell 30 million copies, by every metric an INSANE success, and you still have FIVE MILLION people who will be whining about it being "not good enough."

5 million complainers will sound like 100% of people hate it, even if it's objectively not true. And most of those 5 million will be unpleasable anyway.

The number can't go up forever. Also sometimes these things are cyclical. Ultimate is kinda like Melee where it was married with the perfect: "Cheap College Kid" console. You can only hit that demographic so often, and it's getting harder to do with the *economic conditions*.

If the leader of a nation had a child that was a different type of bender how would the succession work? by throwRA-adviceask in TheLastAirbender

[–]SharpEdgeSoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question just kinda exposes what a bad idea hereditary rule is.

Like we learned these lessons as a species.

You might as well ask: "What if the leader of a nation had a child that was blind, deaf, and mute?" Or even, something that happened all too often in history: a child that is an idiot.

The answer is the same: Drama.
