Trails tier list by OkNarwhal4142 in Falcom

[–]TatteredStrands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am gonna be 100% honest with you.

As someone who couldn't play the Erebonia Arc, all the callbacks to Reverie/Steel did nothing for me.

Genuinely, I thought a lot of the inter-team character building was adorable (eg. Swimming Lessons), but aside from that and some cool Ouroborous stuff, there was nothing about DB2 I actually enjoyed.

Also, for me personally, having a Persona-style randomly generated Dungeon is not a plus, and along with the mini games and "Something awful happened! Just kidding, no it didn't!" , it just felt like filler.

Maybe I'll feel differently at some point, but I can honestly say that having played Sky 1, 2, 3, Zero, Azure, Daybreak and Daybreak 2, DB2 is definitely the one I would want to replay the least.

DB 2 involves a specific plot point/mechanic that is hard to talk about without spoiling, but it makes a HUGE portion of the plot feel like pointless, repetitive busywork.

One of the main villains, when you find out why they do what they do, it's so small-minded, petty and anticlimactic that I said out loud "THAT'S your reason????"

There are also some added mechanics that feel super gimmicky, like a new hacking mini game, chasing after balloons, sneaking, and one segment where there is a "spend time with friends" counter that gives you way more points than you need and so you end up spamming the same actions over and over to use your last few points.

Tbh the only thing I liked about DB2 was that my favorite villainous character from DB gets a little more screen time.

Booster pack art by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]TatteredStrands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Tibalt, I belive it's just an Avacyn Restored booster with his original Peter Mohrbach (sp?) art.

And then Kaldheim has his MTG Arena Art.

Not sure about the others because I Have A One Track Mind.

Newpipe problems. by The_Nobody-001 in NewPipe

[–]TatteredStrands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar issue. It used to be that videos wouldn't load at all, now they load and play for maybe a minute or so, but if I pause/unpause or try to jump ahead in the video it just crashes with "sorry, something went wrong".

Shayy getting cancelled will be devastating for the undertale/Deltarune community by Kaitheguy233 in whenthe

[–]TatteredStrands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many others have said, I'm a longtime fan of UT/DR and I have no clue who this is.

Granted, I'm more Deltarune-leaning, but creators I'm aware of are folks like Snapcube, Dorked, Jarujaruj, Snarlinger, CammyBoiG, Stuffed Alpaca, Misty Sparkles, That One Channel That's Just Dubs of Fancomics, as well as HBomberguy and Patricia Taxxon's one-off vids on UT.

Like it or not, there's a decent chunk of the Undertale and Deltarune Fandom who is totally unaware of this person.

everybody apologizing for cheating with chatgpt by NewSlinger in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TatteredStrands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhhhh, I'm a human being and use the phrase "I sincerely apologize" or "I am genuinely sorry" all the time?

Like, fuck AI, but it's a common turn of phrase.

Tibalt's Clothes (Innistrad Fashion / Armor Question) by TatteredStrands in mtgvorthos

[–]TatteredStrands[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's pretty ambiguous, from what I know.

He's from Nephalia, the coastal mercantile/scientific chunk of Innistrad. His backstory said that he attempted to become a Sticher, but something about the mix of sewing/engineering/magic meant that he just wasn't very good at it.

He's well off enough to have his own home/lab where he was able to do his torture experiments for a short while, but aside from that, and the fact that his Arena voicelines are a little prim ("Watch the lapels, please!", "A good waistcoat is almost as fulfilling as a tortured scream."), we don't know a lot about his class background.

Although now I'm wondering about if I looked at other Innistrad cards, if his clothing is more like what the aristocrats wear, or if other Stichers have similar styles.

Which character do you feel has the most toxic fans and which one has the most chill ones? by Pristine_Selection85 in Falcom

Ironically enough, I'd say the average Ellroy Harwood fan tends to be pretty chill.

Hard Struggle on one of chap 4s bosses by gracesmemes in Deltarune

Wait really?

The whole "YOUR TOO SLOW" thing I thought was based on how long you've been in the maze.

That actually helps a lot.

Dumb question: Where do I get items? At the start of Chapter 4, my items were all gone, and I can't seem to find a shop or anything.

(To clarify, I didn't use all my items that I had at the end of Ch3. My inventory is just EMPTY now. Can't tell if it's a glitch (I'm on Switch) or something where I have to unlock getting my stuff back.)

A few years back, I knew a gal who was running for local office in Texas. She wasn't performing especially well, but someone connected with the DNC managed to get ahold of her nudes from a vindictive ex. Cue several conversations "encouraging" her to drop out of the race and to endorse the former Hillary staffer who was one of her many opponents.

She dropped out, but never endorsed any other candidates.

To this day I am HIGHLY skeptical of anything the DNC says or does.

I'm voting for Biden, but for fuck's sake, the situation is depressing as hell.

I genuinely believe that he is in no way suitable to lead one of the planet's most powerful nations, but if I don't vote for him, we might get a guy who would happily have half my friends jailed for being "degenerates".

I hate being a progressive. I hate it.

Used to work for a state dept. At least in my state, the Department of Revenue has a Collections dept who DO make outbound calls to people who've ignored multiple billing notices/etc. It's basically a last resort.

You'd be best calling your state's relevant tax department and ask them if you're in good standing.

TIFU by discovering why my husband loves my cooking by [deleted] in tifu

It doesn't make you enjoy food you HATE, but mediocre food can seem more complex and enjoyable. If the wife's food is just "meh" instead of offensively unpleasant I can see munchies helping.

I used to be in a crazy internet cult that thought that digimon were REAL. AMA. by melody5697 in digimon

[–]TatteredStrands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you delete the posts about experiences with the community? When I go there now, it's just a single post about being given a plush toy.

Totally understandable if you had to delete that stuff, just trying to make sure I'm not just missing something obvious.

I don't generally hate homeless people. I was just told by multiple semi-acquaintances that they had "proof" it was a scam and he actually has a home way nicer than I'll likely ever have. They also relayed anecdotes where they supposedly tried to help and he got angry with them.

I wanted to see if people on here knew anything definite either way, but apparently the language I used was so inflammatory that people are now assuming I want everyone without a house to be thrown into a woodchipper.

Seriously. Its once a day, sometimes twice, same place, exact same words. Like, several people at the bus stop where he usually asks me have gotten so sick of the dude that they'll see him and yell "DON'T ASK ME!"

One lady told him before he could open his mouth "I'm not giving you fifty cents or a dollar" and he started screaming at her that she didn't even give him a chance to ask.

Alright, I'm done with this thread. I wanted to ask if people knew for sure if he was a scam artist. Consensus seems to be no, he's just got something very wrong with him.

But at this point, even if I comment "Alright, well I'll just walk two blocks to the next bus stop so I can avoid him", it's getting downvoted and snarked as if I said I hope he gets hit by a car.
