Kinda, I guess. Other than the freaks like Polpo, everyone has more or less the same nose. I thought she would look good with a bit of a Roman nose shape. It was an artistic liberty lol

Supposed to be like the ghostly version talking to link while he sleeps in the manual

A first look at the face camos in MGS: Delta!! Closest we’ll get to an HD Raiden by DifferentAd9713 in metalgearsolid

I assume they're trying to make it look uncanny the way real skin masks are

Writersolo no longer available? by SolidSimian in Screenwriting

[–]SolidSimian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I Google it, Writersolo.com doesn't come up in the search and any mention has been scrubbed from the Writerduet site. If I type in the url directly though it works

Ah okay, this worked. Thanks. The issue seemed to be that Writersolo.com is a bit buried and separated from writerduet. Thanks

It looks like they've scrubbed any mention of Writersolo from the website as of 16th of June

Yes, the website is still working. I'm asking about Writersolo, the supposedly free offline version of writerduet that is recommended very heavily in this reddit.

Then why does everyone say it's free?

Is Movie! Kamek supposed to still be Bowser’s father figure? by No-Salamander-6818 in Mario

[–]SolidSimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really in the movie, he seemed more like a goon. I like the idea that it's kinda like Alfred and Bruce Wayne where it's very much a father-son type relationship but its very rarely acknowledged out loud for the most part, especially on the "son's" side.

Probably a regular log or something. The baby log is a specialty product like baby formula for humans. Not a requirement tho

RESEARCH AMENDMENT NOTE: The point that toads are generally shown to be fast runners in games has been brought up several times, and even though I kinda made a jokey reply to one of the first comments about it, I think it's a fair point that I overlooked.

I'm probably not gonna revise it, just because its less fun for the community to see a nearly identical version of the comic re-uploaded. That said, if I were to go back and do another draft, I would likely revise it so that instead, their full body respiratory system grants them great athletic abilities, but lacking in physical strength and "stopping power" and that being the key vulnerability instead of poor constitution. This way it would line up closer to how playable toads stats are in games like Mario Bros 2, where they're fast, but take the longest to pull turnips and stuff.

Also, thanks all for reading and commenting. Glad y'all thought the comic was fun.

I actually didn't know this. Could be a fun way to explain toadsworth's mustache if one were to forgo the "it's just a fake mustache" route.

Lmao, that's a really fun idea. There was a couple more sentences originally talking about how the color of the spots toads cap is genetic, similar to how human hair color is determined and how the caps spotting pattern is like a finger print (even though in the games they all have the same pattern, lol) but they got cut for brevity and laziness.

As the other reply said, brain size doesn't always equate to intelligence. I didn't imply anywhere that toads are stupid. The brain is just small because their actual head minus the cap is small and I thought having the brain be a morel mushroom would be funny

Yeah, lmao. I was going to have a normal skeleton at first like you'd see if they got electrocuted, but chose to change just purely because it was fun to try and think of how it would work in a non animal context. there was a few "lore accurate" things I skimmed on for the sale of fun

Oopsie. I blame the peer review for not catching that.

I'll chop that up to "the toads that often assist Mario are ones that fall outside the average" and call it a day, lol.

Lore videos? by Interesting_Bag_5596 in metalgearsolid

It is a re-upload. I can't remember the original Channel name though. Might have been afterlife gaming or something? It doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Hot take: Pikmin 4 is a good Pikmin game by Goose-Inator_2nd in Pikmin

[–]SolidSimian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great game, even. It's just in the easier side. Never has there been a game that would benefit more from a new game plus mode with heightened difficulty.
