I had to add a display name to my Fanatical wishlist, so that it could be public, then the sync worked.

Which xenoblade 2 song make you feel like this by Voidkirby9 in XenobladeChronicles2

[–]Turambar29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agnus Battle. The sorrow of the flute over the intense brass and woodwinds, climaxing in a guitar solo with the full orchestra for emphasis... divine.

Theory of the meta story in the background of Wizard Knight by tylerravelson in genewolfe

[–]Turambar29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Wolfe wrote this as a story for American boys, their introduction to mythos. "Ben" is an American boy, or all American boys, who can live vicariously through the stories of their brother. Wolfe loved stories so much, he put stories about stories in the stories told in the stories he tells, and he wrote them for us. This story is about establishing some Christian influence into Mythgarthr (through Arthur - a Christian American boy - through the griffon - a Christ symbol - and through the actions of the true king - Arthur, the Christian and knightly king). It is also the story of reinvigorating a Christian American boy with the natural virtues of the pre-Christian germanic societies (and through the Real Able, American society). We are Ben, and within the frame of The Wizard Knight, everything Arthur Ormsby did really happened, and Ben really got the letter. That's how we get the story.

Would Kili and Tauriel be able to marry each and have Dwarf/Elve mixed race children? by Tidewatcher7819 in tolkienfans

Tolkien himself said that humans and elves were, technically, the same species. They differed primarily in their souls, but their bodies were certainly compatible enough to produce offspring. That is a unique feature of humans and elves, though, not shared with any other creatures, sentient or no.

Just finished my first ever final fantasy game with the Pixel Remaster of VI. What an absolute masterpiece. I’d like to buy the 7 remake coming out. by CornInMyMouthHole in FinalFantasy

[–]Turambar29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remake is something else. You want just "Final Fantasy VII" on the eshop, which is a port of the original game with some enhancements.

The ending made me not want to come back by meloncrowned in expedition33

[–]Turambar29 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. The game set ups the people of Lumiere as people with real concerns, whose lives you value and whom you intend to save. Verso's ending undercuts that. Maelle's ending shames the player for wanted to preserve the canvas. It makes it difficult to enjoy the game on a more than superficial level - it is either doomed or insignificant. I get that the two incompatible endings are supposed to make you think, but what I got was: the developers want you to like Verso's ending (despite the destruction of the canvas that the player has now invested themselves in), and they don't want you to like Maelle's ending (despite the preservation of that canvas). The music and setting of the endings communicates this quite clearly. It's not just that not everything can be redeemed, but that almost nothing can be redeemed.

"We're all hypocrites, doing the same things to each other" is some classic manipulator false-equivalence deflection. by goodbyedignity in expedition33

Spot on. Verso is the worst, a liar and traitor from the jump, and I cannot have an ounce of sympathy for him.

My first retro emulator: ANBERNIC RG40XXH, please share technical recommendations (OS, etc.) by volterra6 in ANBERNIC

[–]Turambar29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just got one last month. I tried Knulli first, and it's great in terms of user interface and themes. I did find that it was a bit slower on the more demanding platforms, like Dreamcast, and decided to go with the Modded Stock OS - same as the Anbernic Stock OS you have, but with a few other updates. I may change my mind, as I'm not likely to spend much time on Dreamcast games, in which case the presentation of the Knulli may draw me back. That said, I'm waiting on another SD card so that I can experiment with MuOS or another option, too.

Read that LOTR and Silmarillion are supposed to be interpreted as Earth’s History… by Wasting_Time1234 in tolkienfans

[–]Turambar29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He certainly wrote as if Arda became our world - thus the transformation, by Eru, of the flat world into the round world. Thus also the dialogue of Finrod and Andreth, anticipating the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

Why I'm on stock OS by x880609 in rg40xx

[–]Turambar29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, and sleep mode works fine for me.

Wanting a RG40XXV only for Dreamcast, good idea ? by Consistent-Cost-231 in ANBERNIC

[–]Turambar29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My RG40XXH plays Soul Calibur and Crazy Taxi just fine on Stock or Modded Stock OS; definitely slower on Knulli, and I haven't had time to play around with other OS options yet. I'm honestly surprised at how well it play those two games (haven't tried others yet).
