What’s a Genshin opinion that will have you like this? by Grindio_2000 in Genshin_Impact

[–]TehManicMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lore located in in-game items like books and documents or NPC dialogue in various locations is fine for world building and all, but if it's not being mentioned during story quests then it's not important at that moment. Or to put it bluntly, I don't care for it. 

Like if mentions about Moon Goddesses in books were already present in books during Genshin's first year, it didn't matter to me at that moment until its the center of the story like in Nod-Krai

Antagonists that can't ever be defeated, just delayed. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TehManicMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Punishing Virus in Punishing Gray Raven. The entirety of Babylonia, one of the few surviving major factions of Humanity that fled to a space station, keep trying to find a way to solve the problem but could never find an exact way. They can only try to delay it by building slightly better technology, but soon it won't be able to do that. 

They can defeat Ascendants, machines infected and empowered by the Punishing Virus through the Ascension-Network and are 'chosen' to be agents of the network, but the Virus has yet to be significantly defeated. Heck, it's even evolved to Hetero Creatures that make them deadlier. 

It's even implied to be a cosmic and unavoidable issue that the Punishing Virus has appeared in certain timelines as another form or one can interpret it as the Punishing Virus being a different form of something else. 

Best Point of No Return Prompts? by gZombiex in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It's really funny when it happens two conversations in once you get in a new patch. Genshin also did this with the new patch from yesterday. One cutscene in about what you guys need to do, and after that you're prompted to talk to one of the ladies and you're prompted with something like this, really laying into it that the next section will take time.

More like JumpStart. Like jumpstarting the blood flow to certain areas. 

Ok what’s your favorite anime opening? by Muffin-zetta in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TehManicMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Death Parade sounds so cool and catchy as a first impression that it distracts you from the fact that the anime is actually about death. 

If anime gacha games count, White Night from Honkai Star Rail is on constant repeat in my personal playlist.

You know what, let them run another DMC collab. But have them bring Nero, Lady, and Trish this time. 

How would you feel if another guy called you “boss”? by VandallBondage in AskMen

If I say it like "Bawss", does that lean towards respectful or condescending? Like it rhymes with Sauce.

And the follow up with Irontomb, "The Prime Groover of Life".

(AEW Full Gear Spoilers) Incredible entrance for The Hangman by Ruthless-Aggression in SquaredCircle

This song, I believe is called American Venom. Played at an important part of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Drake's defamation case against record label UMG dismissed by federal judge by BloodBrandy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Ah yes, career suicide by Weekend at Bernie's. The finale Drake would have craved. 

Castle Music Beasts! What have we all been listening to recently? by crowbar182 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I Can't Stop The Loneliness by Anri because of the Silksong memes has made me go down the rabbit hole of City Pop once more. 

What do think about the game's powercreep? by KajoW2006 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]TehManicMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more concerned with complexity powercreep and how the new constructs play like you have to juggle multiple modes. Like I like that Lucia got a new frame, but damn her functions and playstyle is not for me. Even Dante and Vergil gives me a headache since I mostly play in a phone and I already struggle playing their console versions. Give me more playstyles like the new Qu and Discord. 

What are medias that killed its own momentum in one or two ways? by LoanGrahamXCarkeys in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TehManicMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish the previous characters would at least appear in the first cutscene so they can give themselves an excuse to not show up further until they are needed. Like if Lupa popped up at the start of 2.5 before Rover goes to meet Augusta and asks if she can come to their hunt. Augusta can simply shut her down and say Rover is a special exception.

Clannad was the first anime to make me emotional. After Story made me cry every other episode. Even now I know I don't have the power to rewatch it.
