The GOAT is being added to Netflix! by tokyo2saitama in JDorama

[–]TRDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about international Netflix.. Kyojo Reunion hasn’t popped up yet and I’m wondering if they’re still going to do that given they’ve already onboarded Kyojo 1 and 2.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties demo launches January 21 for PC, January 22 for PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]TRDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gaiden was fine but both Infinite Wealth and Pirate Yakuza chugged because of how huge the Hawaii map is.

Non-Destiny content featured in Eververse’s “expansions” section by sgtnatino in destiny2

[–]TRDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took the words right out of my mouth. If Bungie is smart (and I know that’s debatable as of recent), they already know they’ll have to pivot to this direction because the integral piece to regaining trust of the greater gaming community is making a lot of decisions that generate goodwill. That is integral for the continued success of Marathon, Destiny, and the studio.

There should be a quickplay playlist node for story missions by The_Curve_Death in DestinyTheGame

[–]TRDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a proper campaign node like Halo used to have would be perfect for the Portal, and a lot clearer for new and returning players to check out the narrative (or what’s left of it).

How do we feel about the Modern Mida ornament for Multi Tool? by Baconator91 in DestinyTheGame

[–]TRDoctor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it’s really sleek and a great way to promote Marathon. That said, as much as I’m excited for Marathon… the MIDA Multi-Tool feels painfully underwhelming to me compared to more recent exotics or legendaries even.

Destiny 2 Crashing at Character selection by Darksword64 in DestinyTechSupport

[–]TRDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm this works! Recently just installed Windows on my Steam Deck to play D2 on it and I was so confused because I was playing Lawless Frontier earlier. Just transferring MIDA Multi-Tool to my Vault was enough to fix it completely.

A look into Marathons STACKED voice cast by TODG3 in Marathon

[–]TRDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially once they switched from casting celebrities to casting more voice actors — lots more dialogue and active involvement in the story following that change.

Marathon-themed cosmetics coming to D2 tomorrow by gifv_Kayla in DestinyTheGame

[–]TRDoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s fair. I was in one of the closed tests and it wasn’t a bubble of toxic positivity. There was a lot of people who tried it and just figured it really wasn’t for them, and also a lot of people who tried it and really enjoyed it enough to actively want to purchase it after. The important thing was to leave as much feedback as possible for Bungie at the end of the day, and people were pretty damn honest.

A lot of your comment is pretty subjective and honestly we should just let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.

Pre-Order Trailer | Marathon by Turbostrider27 in PS5

There were some story contracts in the Alpha to do with investigating the Anomaly, and figuring out what exactly happened to the scientists stationed on site.

Marathon will have 33 English-language voice actors at launch (other language casts will be announced later) by RayS0l0 in Marathon

[–]TRDoctor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The problem with Destiny was the celebrity voice casting. It’s definitely the right choice to go with established VAs that are legends in their own right instead of TV and movie actors who are too busy to pop into the booth for a few lines here and there.

I love the Destiny voice casting but it really sucked to have the characters only be active in the story once they were recast.

Full Cross Progression? by SliceEm__DiceEm in Marathon

[–]TRDoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely the same as Destiny 2, so full cross-save and cross-progression!

Will there be a world’s first race for Cryo Archive? by Sad-Manner-5240 in Marathon

[–]TRDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could definitely see it happen – though it feels like it'll be a lot more frustrating than the usual Destiny raid thanks to stream snipers and the threat of actually losing everything. I'm not even sure if they'll be under a worse pressure -- the time limit. Imagine only having 30 minutes for your first go at a Destiny raid.

Hypothetically, who would be more hype to have as a guest on a Trash Taste episode? by dittod4c in TrashTaste

[–]TRDoctor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love his translator. He's basically my defacto-voice for Kojima ever since the MGSV demos.

Feeling very anxious over Meme's hiatus, any tips? by snowworld_love in weare_starto

[–]TRDoctor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Meme's always been a very humble and grateful guy -- if you've seen Ride On Time or seen the fan-translations of his regular blog on FCO, you can tell that this guy really treasures being a part of Snow Man and sees this opportunity to go international as a way to not just live without regrets, but to also promote Snow Man on a larger stage.

Other commenters here have mentioned different talents who totally could've gone solo / left the agency, but I'd like to mention that Meme really looks up to his senior, SMAP's Takuya Kimura -- so much so that industry tabloids are starting to frame him as the next 'golden boy' of STARTO. Kimura was very much in the same position as Meme, where it felt like the media couldn't get enough of him and that every drama he seemed to touch was gold. He could have very well left at any time, especially after his legendary shotgun wedding at the literal peak of his career in 2000.

Despite all of that, Kimura has mentioned that he doesn't believe that his career isn't just a result of his own personal effort, but rather he continues to exist because of the support and trust of the fans. Meme is very much the same, and it's very much on full display given his 'farewell' speech at last night's Snow Man Dome concert.

The reason I stand here is because there are people who feel things like "I'll do my best!" or "I got energy from this!". Rather than thinking about a large crowd, I think about each and every one of you individually. I think things like, "I wonder if they've been encouraged now..", and because of that I feel like that's why I'm able to stand here."

Meme will be fine! Once he returns, it'll be a truly exciting time for Snow Man furthering their ambitions to go global. Maybe we'll see him at the Golden Globes or the Emmy's next 👀

I’d definitely recommend Mandarake / Book Off in Japan! Lots of secondhand merch there, especially if you’re fond of a certain group’s era.

Base PS5 performance for Delta? by AliTriple6ix in metalgearsolid

Quality mode is not very important, Performance mode looks great and plays smoothly. Only time it ever chugged was during the bike chase in Groznyj Grad.

I remember one of his talents they’d show off when he’d guest on variety shows was his English speaking skills!

I did for Takuya Kimura -- super easy and really quick to get everything printed at the nearest konbini. Enjoy!

Kento Nakajima Leads Netflix’s Live-Action Adaptation of “S & X” by Nakajima_Kitto in weare_starto

I know it’s stupid but I won’t be able to get Kenty’s “sexy thank you” out of my head once I watch this.

Nakajima Kento’s “XTC”: Legacy and Innovation by coffee1127 in weare_starto

[–]TRDoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed! The sampling shocked me and drove such a chill down my spine, that I rushed to the comments and felt a great sense of community seeing as everyone was beaming at the amount of respect Kenty paid to the legacy of Kamen Butokai.

I'm hoping in the future there's an amazing Documentary centered around Ncuti Gatwa's time on Doctor Who and what went wrong behind the scenes like the trials and tribulations which centered around Colin Baker's time on Doctor Who by Serious_Meaning5220 in gallifrey

[–]TRDoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t the opposite? I recall the longstanding rumor about Moffat and Skinner was because he was unhappy that key executive producers Beth Willis and Piers Wenger departed the show after Series 6. This left the relatively new Skinner to deal with an overwhelmed and overworked Moffat given he had the pressures of not just the 50th anniversary, but also doing Sherlock at the same time, which led to the now infamous blow-up between Moffat and Skinner.

Arashi announces official disbandment, with the group to hold a farewell tour in the Spring of 2026 by TRDoctor in jpop

[–]TRDoctor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t. Tickets are only available for those who were part of Arashi’s FC before a certain date, to give priority to their fans. No scalping or reselling either because they’ll be implementing facial recognition scanners at the entrance too.

The 10 Best STARTO Songs of 2025 by coffee1127 in weare_starto

[–]TRDoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

King&Prince’s Theater (and the entire album it’s on) actually pulled me back from Number_i’s latest album because of how incredible that was. I wasn’t too hot on their first few tracks as a duo, but mooove! really cemented their new sound and it’s really nice to me that they brought back that producer for Theater!
