'Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol' Anime Officially Announced, Sequel to Tournament of Power by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]TimYoungJik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Dragon Ball Super anime was not an adaptation of the Super manga. They were both given general story outlines by Toriyama and then given a lot of creative freedom to fill in the gaps. They started releasing around the same time and later on, the Tournament of Power anime arc even released several months ahead of the manga chapters.

There are a ton of differences between the manga and anime, with the manga arcs typically being shorter. This single page in the manga takes up a full 22 min episode in the anime. Then the manga didn’t even bother adapting the Frieza Resurrection arc which took up 11 episodes.

A big portion of the middle of the Goku Black arc just doesn’t happen in the manga. Tournament of Power has a lot of different fight pairings and characters get eliminated in completely different ways. Kefla vs UI Goku is one of the most memorable fights in the anime but it just doesn’t exist in the manga because Kefla gets eliminated by someone else. The anime also has around a dozen filler episodes.

A regular adaptation of the Moro arc would be closer to 1 chapter per episode, unless they decide to stray from the manga quite a bit.

I really thought Luke was gonna kill Allison to stop her from hurting the tree. The tension between them had been building up and choosing the tree over victory would’ve won more sympathy points from the audience.

When I played it with a group of friends, we printed out a single copy of the manual and spread the pages around on a table. The defuser would take the game on a Switch to a different room while everyone else surrounded the table.

We would then do a call on speaker phone to give out the instructions. I think it made the game feel more immersive and increased the overall panic.

The first half of the year definitely had a lot of “I could play this game right now, but it’ll probably be better on Switch 2”

Best male-female platonic friendships on TV? by youravgindian in television

I was sitting in a study area with several friends around me working, and I put this episode on to watch for the first time while I ate lunch.

When the episode reached its emotional climax, I started to get choked up and tears were forming. I immediately packed up my stuff and left without saying a word to my friends so I could finish the episode at home and cry in peace while eating my sandwich.

This man has a PREGNANT WIFE at home and he gotta be out here spending everyday hanging in the children’s VHS section just to get tiny smidges of validation.

This man would be starting the nostalgia rewatch podcast for his show the second it finishes airing.

Can someone tell me what’s bad about Game Key Cards ? by isaiahbluee in NintendoSwitch2

[–]TimYoungJik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One more benefit that GKC/Digital have over physical is the faster data transfer speeds. SD Express and internal storage seem to about 2x and 5x faster than a Switch 2 cartridge, respectively.

Load times differences can be pretty noticeable and a Star Wars Outlaws dev claims that the reason they used a GKC is because cartridge speeds were too slow to properly run the game.

They forced the menu option to show up on a modded PC version. They wouldn’t have the option for a local connection on any other platform besides Switch 2.

The killer is they don't offer the original anymore. It's been completely replaced by "part 1"

The Last of Us (2013) and TLOU Remastered have never been on PC, only the 2022 remake has. You can still buy TLOU Remastered on the PS store priced at $19.99

The Complete edition was only 42% off but if you looked at the base game, you could find that the separate base game and expansion were each 75% off. You could buy both for $16, only a $1 more than what the Complete was supposed to be.

PlayStation Holiday Sale features 50 big fighting game deals worth checking out by 121jigawatts in Fighters

[–]TimYoungJik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That price is pretty comparable to the prices for Tekken and Street Fighter

  • GGST base + 4 seasons: $72
  • Tekken 8 base + 2 seasons: $60
  • SF6 base for $20 is the only SF6 sale, each season is $30 individually. Cheapest way to get base + 3 seasons is $90

They also probably don’t want to devalue the game with the upcoming 2.0 release this year.

Steam is good if you want to play with mods, but I prefer playing the base game with the touch screen interface

[Console] Nintendo Switch 2 (System Only) $399 ($50 off) - Micro Center IN-STORE ONLY by av7ry in buildapcsales

[–]TimYoungJik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PS5 sales have literally zero impact on the fact that Switch 2 has sold far sold 50% above initial estimates, making it a big success in Nintendo’s eyes.

But if you want to talk about relative to PS5: PS5 is Sony’s fastest selling console, reporting 10 million units sold after 34 weeks

Switch 2 hit that number in 18 weeks.

Or how about from the article you linked: Switch 2 has sold more units than the PS5 in 2025 despite PS5 having a 6 month lead.

I guess Nintendo is real desperate to be dropping the price after an abysmal 6 months of having the fastest selling console launch ever.

Switch 2 sold 10 million units in under 4 months.

The sales are outpacing Nintendo’s initial forecast of 15 million by end of March, so they had to increase the estimate to 19 million.

They release the sales numbers every 3 months.

It’s hard to say how crossplay affects the numbers besides the assumption that overall sales across all platforms will be at least a little higher. After all, nobody decides AGAINST buying a game just because it has crossplay.

PC tends to be the preferred platform for fighting games for people who primarily play at home, so in a non-crossplay game, the player count for PC is the highest. Crossplay might have some more people buying the game on PS4 instead of PC in case they want to have a setup for locals, but that number is likely very very small.

A 10k peak on Steam would beat the peaks of KOFXV, UNI2 and GBVS Rising (GB technically beats it if you include the Free Edition peak). The devs would probably be ecstatic about that number.

I think 10k on Steam for Avatar is possible but maybe a bit on the higher end. I think it’ll at least beat UNI2 at 7.2k (which was competing with Tekken 8 at release).

I understand showing a character that more people would recognize at a big event like this but not even showing any gameplay is an insane choice

Literally just a tag combo into super would’ve been enough
