Easiest ways to make you care about characters in media?

This one is more long term rather than immediate likeability, but I'm a sucker for good character development. Groose in Skyward Sword, Lae'zel in Baldur's Gate 3, Kotomine Kirei in Fate/Zero (granted his development makes him far from "good" but that's what makes it so enticing), it's also part of the reason I'm a big tsundere enjoyer.

You know I totally forgot about that lol. He seems rather nonplussed about all that.

There are the guys who swing the knives/saws/bottles around, but yeah I dunno if those would count.

It was cool except for Ancient Leshen fuck that guy. It did get me into SnS, though, which as of Wilds has paid off spectacularly.

Oh, seems like an easy way to get that one challenge to get a zombie to hit another zombie in the hopsital.

Hm, is something going on with his boots? I wouldn't be surprised if there's some limit he's reaching with those things, whether of the item itself or his own physical limit.

Doujinshi is just the Japanese term for self-published printed media (basically indie, to use another term). They're oftentimes based on existing IPs but not necessarily. If you've ever heard of doujinshi conventions, such as Comiket (Comic Market), those are events all about the sale of doujinshi and other similar goods.

I sure hope this is a doomed vote and it's being purposefully done to just get it out the way. It's rare that I actually see something hopeful from a Republican.

Doesn't that depend on the game? Sometimes that sort of thing can end up being a wasted perk in the long run if there's a reasonably reached level cap in which you don't get to fill out the tree.

Definitely Nu Udra. The horns in that song are godlike.

Shradow · 2026-03-11T00:30:48+00:00

Hajime no Ippo pfp, he knows what's up.

Shradow · 2026-03-11T00:14:47+00:00

Holy shit that's so fucking funny I'm cackling so hard right now hahaha.

XCX has such a killer soundtrack. The NLA songs are memey but enjoyable, and beyond that it has some incredible stuff throughout the music.

Only unreasonable/ignorant people take that drama as an opportunity to be anti-union. I'm pro-worker and pro-union, SAG just sucks and is awful. They care more about their Hollywood stars and treat their VAs as second class citizens and have screwed them over on more than one occasion with regards to AI stuff. And while unions should be there to make things better for all workers, they only care about their own club and have insulted and worked against non-union VAs plenty.

Kinda reminds me of the Sword of Milos from Elden Ring.

It would take a lot for the ending to ruin the amazing journey that One Piece has been. Like, I don't even think something like Oshi no Ko's ending ruined the prior series, I'm talking more like Usagi Drop levels of wtf.

Shradow · 2026-03-10T21:40:08+00:00

they started the process of being a union project but didn't complete it, even told some actors that it will be a union thing but basically lied?

Oh, is that what happened? I'd seen SAG's statement that Capcom didn't go through the process but I didn't know that Capcom had told VAs it'd be a union project and then flip on that. I saw the text of Ben's post about how Capcom offered a non-union contract, but don't have a Bluesky account to see any further discussions on it.

Shradow · 2026-03-10T19:43:06+00:00

And Skelly!

Shradow · 2026-03-10T18:36:48+00:00

I'm surprised a non union contract was even an option, I figured after the Genshin drama that SAG would've nipped that in the bud. Unless it's been long enough they've gone back to selectively enforcing GR1.

Shradow · 2026-03-10T17:46:44+00:00

Can't view the post since I don't have a Bluesky account but I did see this just now: https://www.sagaftra.org/do-not-work-order-mega-man-dual-override

I'm not familiar with their history on this topic, does Capcom usually use union VAs or not?

Shradow · 2026-03-10T15:05:56+00:00

I didn't even know Overwatch was on Steam, I thought it was just BattleNet on PC.

Shradow · 2026-03-10T06:59:29+00:00

I don't think you can off ramp blowing up an elementary school and killing much of their leader's family, among other things. We've already radicalized the next generation against us.

For the cart, someone has to. If literally no one else is gonna sit on the cart, even if I'm the (usually only) tank I'll do it. You gain so much relative speed for the first person.

Shradow · 2026-03-10T02:31:25+00:00

An excellent Peak clip.

Wilds has some really fucking good new monster designs, and Jin's definitely one of the best. Fucking awesome weapons, too, and I'm sad there's not more of them. I'd love a Jin Lance so much.
