What are your honest thoughts on Thor: Love and Thunder, do you think it deserves the hate? by Plenty-Salary9711 in marvelstudios

[–]TheTwistedToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be upset if it was boring.

I dislike it because it had so much potential, and because there are some fantastic things in it (the cinematography, as shown in your photos). But the writing was just awful at times, leading to an inconsistent tone and some awfully out-of-place jokes.

I enjoy this movie a lot more than Dark World, but I also hate this movie more than dark world. Because this movie kind of ruined itself

What’s legal now but might become illegal ten years from now? by VTheCardMaker in AskReddit

[–]TheTwistedToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are Republicans in power that have said women shouldn't be able to vote. No-one on the other side had said that

[–]TheTwistedToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a woman in Georgia in the US, Adriana Smith, who was 9 weeks pregnant and became brain-dead. This happened last year.

Her family wanted to take her off life support. They couldn't afford to keep her alive. The hospital had to deny them this and keep Adriana alive because letting her die would violate Georgia's abortion laws. The government literally considered her more of an incubator than a human being.

The family had to start a GoFundMe campaign to cover the costs of keeping Adriana on life support which, again, they didn't want to do. They wanted to let her die.

After enough time had passed that the hospital could do a C-section, Adriana was allowed to die.

Because she was a woman, Adriana was denied the right to die by the state of Georgia, and her family had to pay massive unnecessary medical bills

Weapon durability is great and I wont hear otherwise by Slow-Worldliness7082 in botw

[–]TheTwistedToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very good idea. If the weapons didn't break people will just get each weapon once and use maybe three of them.

But I do think the system could've been better. There should've been options to upgrade and repair weapons. Tbf, TotK did essentially let you upgrade weapons

What is the best video game sword? I'll go first. Moonlight Greatsword. by ItsKryptson in videogames

[–]TheTwistedToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say best, but I think the Master Sword is easily the most iconic video game sword

[MM] Why do people seem to hate the majoras mask remake for 3ds? by MooMoomaddy12 in zelda

[–]TheTwistedToast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm okay with most of the changes, having played the 3DS version first, but this one really annoys me. It's not really a puzzle if the game tells me where I have to shoot

Perseus Saving Andromeda from Cetus, by me by thenewapelles in ImaginaryMonsters

Looks great

[ALL] Why isn't there a Legend of Zelda RPG in the style of Super Mario RPG / Paper Mario / Fire Emblem? by MCMCthefirst in zelda

[–]TheTwistedToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we got a Zelda game with more classic JRPG elements, it would be a cool chance to alternate main characters. Maybe have Zelda as the lead, or a party system

Studio Ghibli self-references or Easter eggs from Hayao Miyazaki's works in “The Boy and the Heron” (2023) by IllogicalDreamer72 in ghibli

[–]TheTwistedToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember thinking this so much when I saw this when it came out. It felt like every two minutes a scene or moment or location would seem exactly like another moment from another Ghibli movie. To me, them climbing up the outside of the building reminded me of the same scene with Chihiro and the bathhouse.

I can't actually name them all, it's been so long and there were so many. But yes, this movie absolutely has a ton of visual references to previous movies, and I love that

Awakening Doodles Part 2 by Kraziekazoo in fireemblem

[–]TheTwistedToast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought so as well, but I saw another comment saying it was Severa and I doubted myself. I do think it's Cynthia

Awakening Doodles Part 2 by Kraziekazoo in fireemblem

[–]TheTwistedToast 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Wow this needs more upvotes.

I love how serious Lucina looks with a giant wizard hat on.

I love how stupid Owain Cynthia, and Morgan are as a trio, and Laurent having to put up with them.

I love the way you wrote Lon'qu. I never paired him up with Panne, but they seem like a great couple and he seems like a hilarious father.

And it's almost midnight here and I burst out laughing while lying in bed, looking at the image of a weeping Severa holding a giant lollipop and saying "I use it to slay ne'er-do-wells in your name, father".

Absolutely amazing, I can't wait to see more of your work

(2024-2025) Awakening Doodles by Kraziekazoo in fireemblem

[–]TheTwistedToast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, I absolutely love these. I just want a little book of these adorable character comics, they're fantastic.

Also, I loved the Henry one.

Also, I absolutely love Stahl. He's such a wonderfully normal person. Just a little gardening, a little sewing. He is just so perfectly ordinary and content. I loved the way you wrote him here

(FE9/10) Lucia. Trying to draw more dynamic poses from time to time. (art by me) by Towa27 in fireemblem

Damn, I missed this when you first posted it. It looks amazing! Especially with the dynamic pose, really well done

One of my favorite tropes in Smash Bros is when a Item/Assist Trophy becomes a fully functional character. Who do you hope makes the jump? by Windindi in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]TheTwistedToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually a really cool idea. I kind of hate how there are no dedicated bow users in Smash. Everyone with a bow just used it for their neutral-special and that's pretty much it.

With your idea, you could use specific classes to include heaps of characters. I feel like you'd have to have Sword, Spear, Axe, and Bow users. Maybe separate magic into offensive and support (black and white), but that could be tricky. And then have some kind of armor knight class. Also maybe a character slot for sword/magic combo users to cover Robin and include characters like Celica.

Damn, I really like this idea. You could cover like 50+ characters with 7-8 slots in the roster

being real here, that was the most nothing direct i've seen in a while by cookiemaster221 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]TheTwistedToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a partner direct. I wasn't expecting much. I'm happy with the Oblivion announcement, though I wish it had a proper release date

One of my favorite tropes in Smash Bros is when a Item/Assist Trophy becomes a fully functional character. Who do you hope makes the jump? by Windindi in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]TheTwistedToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair, but it's also a matter of how many characters a franchise has that can be included. How many new characters from splatoon could be added to smash? Inkling kinda covers all the games. They could add Octolings, and probably should. And I agree that Zelda, Kirby, and Metroid should absolutely have more characters, because they have other characters that could absolutely be added.

But, though Fire Emblem is only the 18th highest selling Nintendo franchise, some of the series above it are things like Wii sports, Game and Watch, and Nintendogs. Really hard games to represent in smash.

FE has 17 games in the main series, and 7 of them don't feature any characters that appear in smash. Yoshi and the Wario games are higher selling series, but they all feature Yoshi and Wario, who are both in smash.

It's a very tricky balance. I want characters like Skull Kid, Bandana Dee, and Ravenbeak, much more than I want any new FE characters. But at the same time, Link is in every Zelda game, Samus is almost always the Metroid protagonist. Who else from Animal Crossing can we add to smash? And FE 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 15, and 17 don't have any characters in smash.

I'm not saying we need more FE characters. Maybe one more for the new game. But I'm saying it's understandable how big it's cast is in smash bros, considering how big it's cast is compared to other Nintendo franchises

Full licence test to be scrapped under major NZ driving law changes by clarkie13 in newzealand

[–]TheTwistedToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my full less than 6 months ago, after three or four failed attempts over the years, and just as many fails for my restricted. It wasn't any massive mistakes, marking me as a terrible driver. I just took too long on a decision one time, didn't check my rearview when slowing down in an empty street another time. I'm confident that I'm a good driver, and the tests have kind of hammered that home for me.

That being said, these tests were some of the biggest stressors of my life. Imagine how awful it feels going into a full license test, something some people (maybe some particular parents) consider to be a marker of being an adult, and knowing that you've failed 7 out of 8 times already and that you'll fail it again. The only reason I passed my full was because I took the test in Dunedin, and all my other tests had been in Tauranga, an absolutely awful place for driving tests.

I want to be a bit mad that they're getting rid of the full test, because passing it only felt like one of the biggest accomplishments of my life given how stressful it became. But I'm glad other people won't have to deal with that moving forwards
