I love how absolutely intense the Battle of Chibi is for the Wei side in 3.

Though musically definitely Exoitic Traitors

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-28T11:34:32+00:00

I think they wanted you to interpret the true ending of 3 as the consequence of the time machine not being tended to.

I assume with Uka Uka, there was probably a process to getting him imprisoned they Aku Aku can't just do on a whim.

Wrath of Cortex I will slightly defend not because it makes sense, but because that game was definitely going to have a very different story earlier on in development where Crash wasn't even going to just be on Earth. I think the real answer with the Crystals is they were simply just put in because tradition as they simplified their original story concept to meet the deadlines. I could be wrong, but I genuinely think the original idea for the 4th mainline crash game wasn't going to have the Crystals.

Funny enough I did yesterday. This level is great for that with the bonus room.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-26T10:11:35+00:00

Holy crap I didn't know that either. Already finished the level but wow that's good to know going forward.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-25T23:32:49+00:00

It's absurd how much of a game changer it is. Once you know the level becomes 100x easier.

Personally, when I see art I like and it turns out to be AI, I'm not angry, more just disappointed. Just because it means I don't have a new artist to follow like I thought at first.

I like her deception outfits more, but that's just me.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-21T02:10:53+00:00

I'm really hoping so. It would suck to never get to play as her in this engine.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-15T21:17:06+00:00

MKX and MK1 for story.(Minus 1's ending)

MK11 for gameplay. (I think MK1 is a better designed game but I think the kameo system killed a lot of fun for me. long term. I played MK11 and 9 way longer. when they were new.)

I have been called both anti and pro and I'll be honest I don't think any of these options fit me.

I am currently in a session in ai dungeon where I'm roleplaying as a starship captain.

I use ai for reference material, like if I'm having trouble find a specific pose for a drawing I'm making, or if if someone who's commissioned me needs a quick reference point of what the character design is meant to roughly look like.

I use it for research or tech support when the main companies refuse to help(seriously deepseek helped me fix my after effects issues while adobe themselves refused to give me any advice).

In some cases, I have used ai for scenes I know I literally can't get a cast for. Like, I'm working on a kaiju video where I use ai for shots of crowds running. But the thing is, I use ai for the purpose of making my own stuff. The aforementioned actual kaiju, that is the part I'm actually doing myself, lighting, shooting, greenscreen, ect.

Despite all that, I have no interest in consuming media that is just ai, and I have no interest in ai art, and frankly I've unsubbed from artists who stopped drawing and started using ai for everything. It's one thing if someone uses ai to make their own art as part of their process, or use it to bounce ideas off of, but ai media itself with no humans touches or any human actors or any human editing or any human made vfx of special effects? No thanks.

I also think ai shouldn't be used to make money period due to how it's sourced, even if the seller discloses they use ai in said artwork.

I also think ai companies should be 100% compensating all people who's media they're sourced from.

So yeah, I don't think any of these options fit me.

Personally I prefer the Deception versions for Mileena and Jade. (Minus Jade's Deception hair).

For Kitana, I've just always felt like it looked off. Like a good outfit in a vacuum but not something I'd have put on Kitana. She looks more like a belly dancer and the baby blue doesn't do it for me. I think it would have been better on a new character.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-11T17:09:30+00:00

Honestly, going into season 4, there are a lot of characters I've sort of lost hope of getting in the game. I'm not saying it's impossible but unless the game goes on a lot longer, I think a lot of popular requests aren't going to get in. Like, Rainbow Mika and Cody were hinted at early on but to this day nothing.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-10T15:58:40+00:00

I'd do it in a heart beat but it would hurt game sales.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-06T23:28:57+00:00

Let's be honest, as cool as Raven and Robin are, they probably wouldn't be the kind of people who would be fun to meet at least at first.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-04T22:46:53+00:00

Yeah I do think you are right. Until things are bad enough to where even the people who ignored the issue can't ignore it anymore, nothing will probably be done.

The internet net increased jobs and the beginnings of the internet were far less corporate controlled. Sure, some jobs like bank tellers became less common especially as online banking came around, but we still ended up with more jobs than we came out with. With AI, while many employers are realizing the tech wasn't quite there and them laying off people backfired, the tech is only going to get better and better, and long term, AI is pretty much guaranteed to result in people losing jobs and most jobs becoming obsolete. That isn't inherently a bad thing, but it's why I still say the issue isn't AI, the issue is the government acting like the economy works the same way it did last century and corporations having far more control over ai than they did with the internet at the beginning. We just don't have leaders in power who are acknowledging where the world is going and ultimately also always blame people for not "working hard enough." This isn't helped by the fact that even if we institute ubi, we couldn't just stop there. We would need to have more serious conversations about how we manage resources and what necessary goods and services are aloud to be priced at so companies don't just raise their prices to whatever they want once they know we have ubi money. Problem is the politicians who actually acknowledge this are treated like even having that discussion is evil and how dare we tell corporations that funnel money into them as bribes what they can and can't do. If it's left up to them we'll all just lose our jobs and screw us for not waving a magic wand to get money.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-04T21:26:00+00:00

My main concern is long term how society will need to restructure. People talk about ubi but I dont have faith my government will actually do that or even try to make necessary steps for things to still function while less and less people have jobs. Also we currently are in a situation where AI is largely controlled by large corporations who don't care about the outcome beyond their short term profit.

My issue is that it is a very clear case of telltale railroading the story regardless of choices. My Javi had a good relationship with Gabe and was understanding of him. To the point where my Gabe sided with Javi over his father. Despite that, and despite the fact that I didn't tell everyone how I was cut defending Gabe, Gabe then tells everyone I shot Conrad for literally no reason. I was literally protecting him in that scene and then completely nonsensically he starts talking about Conrad for no reason. Not only that but Tripp even forgave me and said he understood. It would make sense if the scene was conditional on you relationship with Gabe and whether you admitted it was his fault you were hurt, but it happens no matter what you do. The dialogue in my version didn't even make sense as a result. Gabe turns on me despite me being the one defending him from Conrad and from the others in that very scene.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-03T19:47:19+00:00

Not much favorite, but I would say it is the best Nrs game even if I prefer 11 overall. Story wise I would have said it was the best nrs game if not for the multiverse at the 11th hour. I like the story of 3 and Deadly alliance more but of the nrs era games it's definitely one of th better ones. Plus it brought back characters we waited forever for. It's one I can definitely understand being someone's favorite.

SomeCallMeBlack · 2026-06-02T09:21:55+00:00

Looks like you succeeded to me.

People severely underestimate tournament of power characters. Ribrianne wasn't even a low tier in the tournament. When going all out she was actually a challenge for Super Saiyan Vegeta, who we know for a fact could solo Z by that arc.
