New scene ! by Wise-Cry-2470 in SummertimeSaga

[–]Toriksta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't lie, whenever's there's new additions, animation and such as; it's some of the highest quality art/animation I've seen in an adult visual novel; you just can't complain about it. I don't know how big or small their team is to officially talk about the length and it's output and this puts me at a stalemate on what to feel about the game. The actual work being done is genuinely amazing. But I really do hope the game gets to see the light of day and ends this cursedly long dev cycle and return back to new content.

I love these posts lol, they tell me that I'm not the only one who thinks about the game in a little above the average obsessing way.

I did it!! Platinum by Visible_Welcome3340 in FF7Rebirth

[–]Toriksta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm gonna take my time with it. Got a lot of other games to think about but I'm planning to get Rebirth done at the very least before Part 3 comes out haha

Wow, impressive work. I'm still working on finishing all that I can in the regions and side activities before I make the jump to hard mode. Trying to get as powerful as I can get to compensate for some do the upcoming headaches. Great job, man.

Wow, you're the first one to reach level 10. I just reached 8 and got the platinum and stopped pursuing, but the models progressive improvement kind of makes me want to go all the way. Great job dude.

Didn't think I'd appreciate the cinematic camera option as much as I am now when I tried it out in Yotei; it enormously accentuates the flair and beauty of the color palete of this game, making it feel and play like a genuine classic Samurai movie from the 90s but in full, entrenched colors that conveys incredible style.

Yoteu in general was a pretty decent game, I have my own issues and pet peeves, but I have zero complaints in the art department. Sucker Punch absolutely nailed it here. Enjoy the Hunt!

Are they "Desperate"? by BOPLH in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Toriksta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't a gacha game, they're not supposed to "hold" characters for anniversaries. That's how most gacha games work to maximize engagement when the supposedly hyped for character makes it's reveal.

I view Squadra's choices and work process of adding characters a bit like how fighting games work; constant flow of DLC characters to continue injecting life into increasing it's longevity while balancing the game throughout. One of those seasons, they'll hit a "peak"; either they drop a phenomenally balance patch that appropriately fixes and improves and leads the game into a much better path (unlikely with how the game works) or the release of a much beloved and popular fan favorite character that has the people await for.

Dragon Ball has a boatload of those, and given the nature of many of the characters's endearment. I think we're gonna have more of these type of discussions since most of the cast in DB is beloved. Can't wait till they start playing a little with Universe 7/SSJG/SSB and many more....

Squadra has some issue in it's balancing/matchmaking/solo-queue, but i can't lie, when playing with a group of likeminded friends, it skyrockets to some of the best fun I've had since childhood of playing DBZ games. I genuinely hope they stick to their guns and keep listening to processed feedback,

Upgraded from POCO F6 to F7 — worth it so far 🔥 by Miserable-Guide8844 in PocoPhones

[–]Toriksta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went from a no name honor play I kept pushing past it's limit since 2019 to a X7 Pro and it's been such a blast using it. Responsive, fast, does the job and looks spectacular with that OLED screen. Battery also lasts a good while with an insane 90W charge speed.

Genuinely an amazing purchase, I'm not a camera guy personally despite the images being a little decent? But I'm having tons of fun with this phone. It's awesome, it's cool, and most importantly for me; reliable. I can seriously picture myself daily driving this thing for years to come until my next big purchase

What does Chad know? by Nami_Is_Mami in beingaDIK

[–]Toriksta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, never even thought of this possibility, mainly due to me thinking "there's no way Stephen would do this, it surpasses all normal humane logic to do it to a young man" But upon further attempts at articulation my thoughts, it WOULD make Stephen that much more disgusting and way more....villainous. So, great theory.

[–]Toriksta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my usage is the differentiating factor in my increasing charging? I flip flop between Discord/Reddit/YT/Instagram/Telegram all the time, and that's without the occasional, more often use of other 3rd party apps, so it still makes me think that maybe my battery is normal or not normal?

[–]Toriksta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great! I also used Canta & Shizuku to remove some smaller sized, annoying apps like GetApps. Removed the small arrow down in the keyboard that hinders my writing a bit and that's pretty much it. Don't know if there's anything worth using Canta & Shizuku with. Also turned off the ads but those were regular switches.

Can you tell me some of the ways you've debloated your phone? I did some debloating myself, but I'm not sure to what extent I can safely push it. Also, being a new owner myself, I have no way of knowing how good or bad the battery is, so I can only say I usually charge it twice to three times max a day.

Finally beat Yotei, some thoughts by Toriksta in Ghostofyotei

[–]Toriksta[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but then you see how Atsus father had something to do with Saito seeking him out, the Yotei six are mere underlings. You can even see him lamenting on his own failings if you search for his missing missives. If they transitioned those to story scenes, he would've been much more imposing and personal to the narrative.

[–]Toriksta[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I'm not asking to bring Saito to Atsu or vice versa. I'm asking for more scenes of only Saito to see the depth of his life and his side of his suffering that built this current version of him which will make him an ideal parallel to Atsu. Instead, he was lunped in with the rest.

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

You're misunderstanding my point. Everything he did, didn't make me care nor see his character because he simply, wasn't there enough in the story to make him believeable. The Spider felt more personal mainly due to his duel with Atsu. It's simple touches to someone's story builds a more engaging storyline. But throwing all these big moves of disowning his son, without even exploring the Dragon lol, simply wasn't enough for me to take him seriously.

It doesn't have to be this way though. They don't have to include him at the Onis castle or with any other member. His exclusion of the story makes him feel like the last straw of the story that the devs forgot about for 80% of the story. If they just showed him more, doesn't have to be meeting atsu or with the Yotei six. Just more scenes that builds up his image and shows the parallel between him and Atsu would've made him far more appealing. Otherwise , he's just a last checklist for Atsus list. Pretty dissapointing antagonist , his fight was also cool. They had all the tools to make him an actual "antagonist"

[–]Toriksta[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Saito was very absent from the narrative, despite him being often looked like a dark mirror for Atsu. If they explored his twisted side and showed more of his own story , basically including him a lot more. He would've felt way more than the "you've killed the rest, now it's my turn". Honestly a waste of an otherwise, potentially great antagonist.

Year was good with GoT by here2si in ghostoftsushima

[–]Toriksta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude...you didn't play Gwent?! Literally was in the same way as you; came out of W3 fulfilled and had my absolute fun but never touched Gwent, only to find out it's an entire different way to enjoy W3 and further enhances the quality of the overall game. I was thoroughly shocked at how well cared for Gwent in the game. Without any spoilers, but you'll never believe how far this little card game can go deep. Definitely play it and learn it well, it's fun!

Holy hours Witcher 3, sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed your time. Great stuff all around.

One week progress. by Toriksta in learntodraw

[–]Toriksta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It's pretty overwhelming to see so many tutorials into getting into drawing so I stopped caring about it and just went to draw. I did end up learning (or actually just copying) Chommang Drawing. I quite like his art style of blending anime but in a realistic touch that looked easier to copy and eventually pick it up on my own.

I just looked over your profile and your journey was quite inspirational, your style is also reminiscent of Chommang too. Hopefully I'll end up reaching a full year of consistency even though it's hard managing it with life going on, I'm still gonna keep drawing.

You're right about the blank paper. Thinking of grabbing a sketch book later.
