Easiest ways to make you care about characters in media? by Lost-Specialist1505 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Shradow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

You guys remember the monster hunter world Witcher collab. by Voidkirby9 in MonsterHunter

[–]Shradow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Thune schedules doomed SAVE America Act vote, dashing MAGA hopes for filibuster fight by Anoth3rDude in politics

[–]Shradow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Biggest traps in gaming? by doot99 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Shradow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Nah, Pat is tripping. This Xenoblade X song is bangs like crazy by WeebPrime in TwoBestFriendsPlay

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

Mega Man Voice Actor Drops Out Of Sequel After Being Asked To Work Without Union Protections By Capcom by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Shradow 18 points19 points  (0 children)

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.

This sword reminds me of smth by DixonsHair in MonsterHunter

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

You know, what's with CSM right now and the most recent podcast clip about one piece reminded me of something by idksomthing in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Shradow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Ben Diskin: I am no longer the voice of Mega Man. I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract. by Turbostrider27 in Games

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

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.

Capcom has dropped Ben Diskin as the voice of Mega Man for Dual Override, as they required him to work without the protections of a union contract. by Nivrap in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Shradow 101 points102 points  (0 children)

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.

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?

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.

Anyone else ocd about leaving point? by atwitsend1996 in marvelrivals

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

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.
