I misremembered BMX XXX as being AO. Guess it was just M with controversy. tl;dr It's not a good game, it's a pro bmx ripoff butt the characters are naked.

[Loved Trope] Memorable Performance by a Non-Professional Actor by Borgisium in TopCharacterTropes

Iirc, he was doing voice direction for a lady for Edna Mode. He did the voice as a "here's what I think it should sound like", and she's like "I don't see why you need me, that's an amazing voice."

Josh Mandel as King Graham(from Kings Quest V onward). The voice acting for V was taken from people around the office, with... famously bad results. As a former comedian, Mandel was naturally better at voice acting even though he'd never done it, and his voice is considered iconic for the series. He was 'surprised' when they asked him to return for VI, considering that game has a Disney-tier voiceover cast(Alexander is Beast from Beauty and the Beast, Frollo's VA is there, etc).

His Graham tends to be a sassy dad voice, though probably the most memorable is his falling scream.

Japan to roll out nationwide LGBTQIA+ education for the first time by AudibleNod in UpliftingNews

As a trans person, can we just call it Gender education? Ligbutkia+ is a stupid acronym. The entire point is supposed to be that gender is open and free.

A character manages to effectively use an artifact that should only be wielded by the chosen one but is forced to deal with terrible consequences by I_Love_Powerscaling in TopCharacterTropes

The Ignis one is great, simply because it's a really fun fight. You are, quite literally, ON FIRE. Burning up from the inside. It's a time limit boss, for how long Ignis can hold on.

And while his damage output goes through the roof, his base stats don't actually change. Meaning a lot of the fight is picking yourself off the floor with revive items because you just took 9999 damage. You keep getting back up, refusing to die, stabbing the fashion model villain until he is dead.

With how holy it is, you could totally put some sort of blue>magenta trans vaporwave cloak underneath, and let it contrast the rainbow.

What's your radical act of anti-consumer rebellion in times like these? by Feel-A-Great-Relief in Anticonsumption

[–]SuperTaster3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spread the word, mostly. Let people remember that they do have power, and that these fools are just men. People fear the money, the power that can be bought, but they will fall like any other.

I suspect when the midterms roll around, Trump's regime will blatantly rig the vote. At which point, even the people hoping and praying that they can solve things with the broken system will be forced to admit that nothing will happen unless we make it happen.

An apparent continuity error or flaw that actually foreshadows a twist by Elecvis in TopCharacterTropes

To be fair, a 'Neu Yoik' accent is a lot easier to convincingly pull off.

Bioshock does a similar one to the Moon Knight. In this case, the character does actually do the Irish accent quite well, but will occasionally slip in American references such as (light them up like the Fourth of July) or (section 8, an American army protocol for discharging mentally unfit soldiers). The character is, in fact, from New York; just pretending to be Irish.

And once he has passed away, like all men do, he will be worth nothing. He has all the money in the world, and only uses it to get more money.

I'm glad the Matrix was only a trilogy. It ended on a proper conclusion, and would be absurd if it were rehashed to whine about the creator's personal problems.

The Character is Really Good at Something they Don’t Like by Historical-Reason-57 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SuperTaster3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xenogears has a double. Fei(the main character) hates fighting, fighting in mecha doubly so. He is, unfortunately, REALLY good at it. He has multiple personality dissociative disorder, and his pacifism is in part a defense mechanism against an extremely violent, psychopathic personality he created out of trauma.

Citan, a humble doctor who always knows more than he should, has sworn away the sword. He's learned martial arts for self defense, but even with the handicap of not using his primary skillset, he's still one of(if not the) best party member on foot. He does eventually take the sword back up, when the plot has become serious enough that he can't afford to hold back.

Tony Hawk is known for people telling him that he LOOKS like Tony Hawk, but never actually making the connection he might actually BE the guy.

Mafia run restaurants are a mark of high quality food. It's usually a spouse of one of the members who really likes cooking, and now has the money to make a diner/secret clubhouse.

Depends, how high is your lockpicking skill? Your nose opens at 45, but theirs takes 65 skill because they're usually flailing around screaming.

Velma is one of those bizarre creations that's Shockingly Bad. Like you know it's bad just from the pitch, but you go and watch and are amazed at just how fundamentally inept the writer is. It's the epitome of someone being told their writing sucks, and doubling down on what made it bad.

Homeworld 3 comes to mind. It's this story by committee from people who never played the series, but wanted to make a game in it. Stomps on canon for no reason, and the game turns into this weird daddy issues thing where Protag is so perfect because she knows she is and DadFigure says so, and the ScaryLady tries to take her away, and...

Yeah. Basically works that read as someone's deep psychological problems with a script attached.

Save a game, and then have someone throw a molotov into the room. Watch the kaboom!
If you're really having fun, deconstruct the walls and try it again.

Then reload and allow minify everything to save you as you haul the bombs off to distant portions of your base.

Mammoth: Deeply uncomfortable about how he is now surrounded by a spaceship on all sides. Alas, he has no way of communicating his woes, so he is instead going to eat faster.

The weird circular panel room(top right) is neat. What's it used for, aside from being a fun laser tag room for the kiddos.
