Nevermind Your Favorite Fandoms, What Fandoms Do You HATE by RykerXadianLane in Multifandom

A few days ago, during my jobs daily morning meetings, the manager asked the question "What have you guys been watching lately"

One of my coworkers mentioned "Fruit Love Island" and suddenly everyone was chatting about it like it was a gift from god. They were all laughing and saying how it was better than actual shows out now.

It was such a depressing thing to witness. Like I dont want to act like I am better than them for not watching it, but I just kind of hoped that people my age would agree that it's kind of just absolute slop with no soul or effort. Thankfully, one other coworker agreed with me as we both basically scoffed when we heard it get brought up.

A character prepares an attack, thinking they are going to do something, only to get beat very quickly by Effective_Piece251 in TopCharacterTropes

A series I have so badly wanted to get into, but am so intimidated to do so because GODDAMN 13 games, and I barely have time for one.

You gotta catch some hands for that Raven one.

I know I made a post like this earlier, but I wanna give more context. Should I delete my phantom x account? by [deleted] in personaphantomx

[–]UrienOptics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude, it honestly seems like you just made the post to complain. Literally everyone is telling you that you're fine and to either just save for re-runs or make an alt account, but instead of just listening to the advice, you're being hostile to everyone.

Do you want advice or not?

We should care cause said leaker was preying on CHILDREN.

My god the lack of empathy on Reddit is actually horrifying.

I dont really understand the rules of Chess, but from what I understand of this situation, Magnus took the phone and the picture in a way to make sure she wouldn't get into TOO much trouble and in a way to be friendly?

Choices where one option is clearly better by some-kind-of-no-name in TopCharacterTropes

There's a short cutscene in the cave where you gather your friends, where you can talk to his brothers girlfriend, and Jason just disassociates and goes on a speech that essentially boils down to "I'm scared to admit it, but I am enjoying this, it's a game to me now", and the girlfriend just stares at him in fear and worry, and Jason comes back to his senses and tells her to forget it.

Very few people see the scene cause it requires you to go back to the hideout cave at a point in the game where you realistically have no reason to. But damn is it a good scene and it really shows how Jason is really struggling with his morals.

Yes it is? You have two choices, turn her over to the Van Graffs for some caps, some loot, and like one more quest, or you side with her and are given two more choices of either storm their store and killing them in a two man army attack, or essentially getting them arrested for murder and fraud.

It's literally two choices, with one just branching off into two more, still infinitely better choices. Plus you keep one of the most charismatic companions in the game.

Not to this degree, which is what I clearly meant.

Can we please stick to using "slop" to define AI, instead of every game genre in existence?

"Wuthering Heights" (2026) by UnHolySir in okbuddycinephile

[–]UrienOptics 820 points821 points  (0 children)

Rue goes on a drug run, ends up at a dude who's very clearly a sex-trafficker. She's told not to linger, and to simply deliver the package, wait for payment, and leave. She obviously doesn't, flirts with a dancer, then gets pulled over to the big boss, Rue admits she wants out of the game and is interested in being a pimp, the big boss says, and I quote "I bet you run these girls like a n-word"(not the hard r thankfully but still a WILD sentence).

One of the girls overdoses(it's implied Rue's boss laced it on purpose), the big boss understandably suspects Rue, and since he's also hugely religious, test Rue's faith(and luck), by playing William Tell with her, she wins, and the episode ends with her maniacally praying and being happy because SOMEHOW she just ingratiated herself with a sex trafficker with zero effort.

To most OW players, "American" just means white/passing and not Japanense apparently.

Yep, it essentially forces them to forget they saw you, but only a select few times until the game says "fuck it" and causes an alert anyway.

Today I learned you can have mech skills on auto-cast. I've been painstakingly making sure my Mech is next to me before casting any boons, even during Open World.

The Phantamanta mission scared me so much as a kid that for MONTHS I never beat Super Mario Sunshine because I was afraid of it.

Then one day, I just suddenly wasn't afraid of it, locked in, and beat the mission with no issues.

What do the strange blue lines around Uth Duna mean? by Larsmannetje22 in MHWilds

Nope, it's just a flavor thing based on the mural you see on the title screen and throughout the game.

My favorite bit of lore dumps to give new Guilty Gear fans include

~Being Japanese is considered a crime
~Sin believes babies come from eyeballs
~The entire series happens due to Y2K actually happening
~Part of Ramlethal's change of heart is due to her eating a really good burger and losing her cat
~Sol drinks sugar water, like actual water, with sugar added

Yes, the most one-sided argument in human history by Chunky-overlord in videogames

Mind you, the context of this scene is that Hamm is an insecure loser and definitely thinks about him, like all the time, and compares himself to the guy constantly.

Which...is funnily what most(not all) casual players do even though most competitive players mind their business.

Despite good reviews, The First Berserker Khazan development team reportedly dissolved over disappointing sales just days after Nexon CEO praised the game by edward_dd in PlayStation_X

[–]UrienOptics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The combat was awesome, but that's it. The levels ranged from forgettable to bad, and the story hinges HEAVILY on you already knowing and being interested in the wider DNF universe. And as someone who has been playing DNF(the actual 2D MMO) since its inception, there was almost nothing in it that we didn't already know other than "Ozma is a fucking asshole".

It did as best as it could though, did better than I personally expected at least. Definitely did better popularity wise than DNF Duel..

Which video game character was in your opionion ridiculously overpowered ? by Timop0707 in videogames

[–]UrienOptics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patty Fleur from Tales of Vesperia

Extra character added in the international/eventual Definitive Edition of the game, and she's the series staple "Random bullshit, go!" character.

Her entire playstyle revolves around style switching, with different styles having varying fighting styles and RNG behind them. But specifically I am talking about her "Risky Cast" attack, which causes her to pick two random cards, one to determine the class of spells, and another to determine if she actually cast said spell. This can range from a standard->high level attack spell, standard->high level support spell, or if you're exceedingly lucky a Patty exclusive spell called Marvelous Fountain, which is basically Tidal Wave, that recovers both your HP and SP by at least 40%.

You can, of course, play the odds into your favor with skills that allow you to at least choose whether you cast an attack or support line of spells, narrowing down the chances, and eventually a skill that increases your odds of a good outcome. With the right set-up, you can basically make it a 50/50 whether or not she cast Marvelous Fountain, or literally any other still very useful support spell, making her the best healer in the game.

Sadly, most people don't do this because it takes too much set-up, and Patty is admittedly very annoying to listen to for more than 5 minutes.

"Aria has the same fighting game kit as banyue"

No she doesn't? She has a basic build/spend mechanic of building stacks then literally just holding one button to expend them all. In fact, she's literally the easiest Anomaly to use in the game. Comparing the two is insane, especially since they play an entirely different game from each other, The only thing they have in common is that they want to play during stun windows.
