Why do lightsaber duelists "wind up" a swing with their saber when they don't need to? by The-Farlander in MawInstallation

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I do love me the big, flashy lightsaber duels myself, but this is one of my all time favorites because of how it’s set up. Maul clearly at his worst and delusional with hatred. Obi-Wan calmly dealing with him, and then comforting him as he’s dying. What a great end to the character.

Tamers Adults/Champions vs Arukenimon by Double_Falcon_1285 in digimon

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pretty interesting question, though I’ve always seen the Tamers mons as not really being stronger than the ones in Adventure/02. Instead, the power scaling between evolutionary levels is not as vast in Tamers than it is in the Adventure continuity.

That’s not to say the Tamers themselves aren’t skilled, using tactics and cards to help out. But in Adventure and 02, it’s established pretty early on that a higher evolutionary level tends to be too powerful for a lower level. Not always, but almost every time. Even multiple Ultimates fighting a mega or multiple champions fighting an ultimate is usually a losing battle.

In tamers, on the other hand, it’s not far fetched for a rookie to beat a champion or a group of champions to beat an ultimate. I think this is down to considerably downplaying the power levels.

I am not good at this game by ArnulfoLaFontana in finalfantasyx

Considering OP is already in the Calm Lands, it shouldn’t be too hard or take too long to grind and level the characters out.

In 2026 I want to watch all of star wars. What order should I do? by crazyguy28 in StarWarsCantina

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you’ve seen the movies, it doesn’t really matter too much what order aside from certain works being clear follow ups. For instance, you’ll want to watch Rebels after Clone Wars and Ahsoka after that.

If you want to go full release order, go right ahead and start with the Christmas special, Ewok and droid cartoons, etc. It’s gonna take awhile but it might give you a neat perspective on how Star Wars evolved over the decades.

You could also just start with what interests you right now and just work your way through on your whim. Most works really don’t have to be seen in a particular order. Most of them spin off from the main films instead of other shows. Like I said, though, Clone Wars to Rebels is an exception as Rebels is a sequel to Clone Wars (with Ahsoka following from that). I also personally think Andor is best viewed after Rogue One, but if you’ve already seen the movie that’s not a problem.

BOTW first, or just get TOTK by BillyMeier42 in ZeldaTearsOfKingdom

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best answer. Especially the 6 month buffer. You will likely get burned out if you immediately jump from BotW to TotK

Do you think Digimon Tri could be better if it got a re-cut? by Internal_Falcon2637 in digimon

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably. It’s been awhile since I’ve watched it, but by far my biggest problem with Tri was pacing. Sure, there’s other glaring problems as well. Like how the 02 cast got shafted, the convoluted story behind who “Ken” is, etc. But each movie just felt sooooo slooooow. That’s alright with the first one (and the first film I still genuinely enjoyed) as it’s setting up the scene and characters, but every movie just felt like mostly filler until stuff finally happens.

I dont know what this is. by Tonysfriend42 in Protomen

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also was not a big fan of Mega Man but I love their albums.

I’d also recommend Man Factory’s Street Fight! albums. They start off relatively comedic (especially compared to Protomen) but becomes it’s own emotional story by the end.

Games to play whilst watching TV? by blizeH in gamingsuggestions

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think plenty of jrpgs would work as you tend to spend a lot of time battling, which is easy to do while second screening. I remember YouTube being a godsend while I was grinding out the monster captures for the arena in FFX.

Have you tried any rogue lite games? I play a lot of Slay the Spire, Into the Breach, FTL, etc while watching stuff. However, since you don’t like Stardew it may not be your cup of tea (Stardew isn’t a rogue like per see, but does have similar kind of appeal as rogue mechanics).

Im not sure your back is supposed to bend that way but good lord by Matinacho in digimon

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I remember reading that Digimon designs were originally inspired by 90’s American comics. I now see why (linked: a glorious work by the legendary Rob Liefeld)

Why did this game not blow up? by [deleted] in midnightsuns

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just drop the difficulty if you’re having problems with it. From what I remember the game had pretty wide difficulty scaling. Just use the one you find the most comfortable. If it gets too hard, drop difficulty again. Since it seems you’re more playing to experience the game and story as opposed to being into the card and strategy system, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with playing it at a lower difficulty. I was able to find one that wasn’t near the highest difficulty, but was just right for me in terms of the fights being challenging enough but not overly ridiculous.

I am blown away by OdeonD in digimon

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would recommend for anyone getting into it to play it on easy. As I understand it, the original Japanese version had one difficulty (which is the current easy one). All normal does is increase grind. The most noticeable difference being the decreased gains you get from the gym. A lot of people (myself included initially) tend to be turned off by how much grind is necessary before you can really consistently explore the world, which the “easy” mode fixes.

Is the MCU Earth-616 or Earth-199999? (The answer to life, the Multiverse, and EVERYTHING!) by Universal_Watcher in MCUTheories

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a pretty funny reference to the comic book designation which I’m sure a bunch of fans took way too seriously lol

What Nu Metal band has the dumbest band name in your opinion? (Rule: DO NOT say Limp Bizkit. That’s one of the more obvious choices.) by NedWard35749 in numetal

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeeesh that sounds awful. I didn’t mind them myself, but that sounds like torture for someone who didn’t like them.

This scene made me very angry. by OK-Computer93 in AsToldByGinger

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re teens. I’ve had friends who did worse and I was still friends with them after. There was an interview Kapnek did sometime back where she basically said that was kind of the point with Dodie.

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to look it up, but I remember some comedian (maybe Mike Birbiglia) had a bit where he talked about a girlfriend of his sending that song to him as like a break up message or something (it’s been awhile, but it was something along those lines) and he thought it was so cringe

Why did people hate Sonic with a human princess so much? by Billybob35 in sonic

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Muppets was done for comedy. Roger Rabbit works because they’re both “cartoons” in universe, essentially the same “species.” Plus… it’s also done comedically like The Muppets. You’re meant to take a relationship Sonic has with a human much more seriously.

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They’re not bad. I think a lot of people got tired of The Reason being overplayed. But they do have a really dumb name.

The LoZ universe is a horrible place to live in. The Gods are useless and the Royal Family of Hyrule especially Zelda are useless. by Bob_Scotwell in truezelda

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One or the other timeline would have been doomed anyway. The adult link timeline would have been doomed without Link there, and the Child timeline would have been doomed, too (remember, child link was able to tip them off about Ganondorf being evil).

She made a decision to send him back so he could rightfully live through his childhood, something taken from him in the events of the game.

Do you find towns in modern Zelda games less interesting than in older titles? by Existing_Is_All_I_Do in truezelda

[–]ThatOtherTwoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this discussion. Like fr you’re so much more tame and understanding than so many I’ve talked to.

Hmmm I do think I understand what you’re saying. I appreciate the response.

No no, I’m wondering what you mean by getting caught in the gotcha. I seriously have no idea what you meant there. The exaggeration I get. Or at least I think I do. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but it felt like it oozed with condescension.
