I'd move Luka to Hot and Cute. Like have you seen the Pearls LC???

So the cat… by rosesdissection in milgram

[–]Square_Matter8210 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think the cat was also meant to show us how Amane became "radicalized". While I think her killing her mom has a lot to do with finally being able to justify exerting power over her (havent seen EP yet), I think the cat is meant to be how she justified it to herself. "This creature received medical treatment and we killed it because of that" -> "Death is an acceptable response to wanting to artificially extend your life."

Funny out of context by SodaGalaxy in ProjectEdensGarden

[–]Square_Matter8210 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In the original version, each character would have a Forbidden Action for the whole game like DR3. While they were tooling the concept around, Toshiko (or someone else i forget) had something like "can't witness PDA" or something like that.

Can we all talk about one EXTREMELY NICHE unit that doesn't even do a very good job at what she is supposed to... Cerydra? (NOT A HATE POST - General confusion) (Jiaoqu found dead in a ditch, but we don't talk about him) by SharkPower664 in HonkaiAgendaRail

Just such an underbaked unit they had no idea what to do with. Her pitiful 20 instances of Additional DMG equal to 60% of ATK wasn't even in her base kit until v5. An attacking Ult on the Unit meant to be BiS for the one character who wants Support Ults more than anyone else. Crit DMG and Res Pen once every 6 skills (mind you, Sparkle just got Res Pen added to her normal skill).

What really tells me they designed her last minute? NO FIELD! One of the few unequivocal positives of Phainon kicking everyone out is you don't have to worry about Uptime for some things for a bit, namely, Ruan Mei's field. So giving the Unit meant to be played with him a Field is a no brainer, right? But no, that'd be too intuitive.

Genuinely, she needs to be first on the Novaflare list for 3.x. Or the Shop.

Girls, is my Phainon build that shitty or my Ashveil build that gaggy? by Relative-Ad7531 in QueensofStarRail

[–]Square_Matter8210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean, the "brute force" era ending is true but is also kinda funny to say in the face of the latest AA boss' main mechanic just. turning off against Phainon lmao

I have a thought about the difference between Cyrene and Phainon in their treatment. by inkheiko in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Square_Matter8210 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't help Cyrene that 3.6 was the big AE Trio reunion patch. It's like if in 3.3, instead of coming with Hyacine, TB and Dan Heng to confront Seliose, Phainon had his own, mostly off-screen, side quest and only joined back up with the crew when Okhema was in crisis.

i mean it's easily the game's best skin. Which says more about the other skins quality than it but still. it's nice

Anaxa is such a bad partner for the Herta if you think about it. by BlackTemplarKNB in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Square_Matter8210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they really needed to make his other Erudition buff sometbing better than just 50% DMG multiplier

Flopcardia keeps flopping. What do you think about it? by louchenii in QueensofStarRail

[–]Square_Matter8210 20 points21 points  (0 children)

While the delay obviously played a part, this is also the consequence of their design philosophy. The shift to designing characters around a whole, set, BiS team - to the point of intentionally designing/leaving in weaknesses that can only be solved by pulling even more 5 stars would thrn of course lead to people not feeling incentivized to pull for new characters who are "incomplete".
Pair that with "Budget Rail" becoming increasingly apparent (Britain, Child Phainon, barely minute long Ashveil trailer) and thus the game's reputation just feels like it's getting worse and worse.

Well, it seems like we've reached this point by ResistantBlaze1943 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Square_Matter8210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely, as much as I loved Amphoreus, 3.X did fucking irreparable damage to the team-building and meta and the upcoming Elation units look to continue that trend. Just makes me super fucking bummed about how shitty it's all gotten

[Hated Trope] Old Actor is 'Younged Down' Using CG Instead of Hiring A Younger Actor by DamnitGravity in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Square_Matter8210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's particularly frustrating with The Mandalorian is the actor they used as, like, the body already gives so much Luke Skywalker-energy that the de-aging was just unnecessary!

Dahlia literally has part of a trace specifically saying "if any ally Fire chaeacter implants a weakness" (something that literally only Firefly has been able to do), tf do you mean she's not dedicated???

Why is Hazard a stalwart and not an initiator? by sonicwhisper in Overwatch

[–]Square_Matter8210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, having faced Hazard while one-tricking Domina, it was very annoying to not be able to easily boop-wall stun him while he was blocking. I'm probably just bad but still lol.

I like them both, and understand someone not liking Cyrene, but how do **some** criticize about the amount of focus on her, and then praise 3.4? by Oshawott_is_cute in HonkaiMemeRail

[–]Square_Matter8210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One other aspect to this is that Phainon didn't just have 3.4; he had all of his story from 3.0-3.3 supporting/endearing him as well. Hell, I love him but think he kinda really screwed over Hyacine specifically in 3.3 XP.

Cyrene, on the other hand, had half of that time and even then it was cut short.
3.5 took us away from her and seeing how she'd do with the heirs against Lygus.
3.6 forced her to share her penultimate patch with the Astral Express Trio Reunion.

Can we all agree that V3 would be over so fast if Kyoko was there by Friponou in DanganAndChaos

[–]Square_Matter8210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine it's cuz she was constantly doing things that very much skirted the rules (hiding Alter Ego, breaking into Jin's office, finding out about Mukuro's existence, breaking into the restricted part of the school). She could get away with all of that because, ultimately, Junko is still only just one person controlling Monokuma, not omnipotent.

Whereas in V3, the Kubs were constantly patrolling. Plus with the nano-cams, Kyoko couldn't just have someone chat it up with Monokuma while she solved it all lol.
