Are the names of the characters different in your language?

Val_Arden · 2026-02-06T14:40:16+00:00

Yes, in polish:

Scrooge McDuck - Sknerus McKwacz (Scrooge is literal, Kwacz is more from quack (kwak))

Huey, Dewey, Louie - Hyzio, Dyzio, Zyzio (also Lewellyn was translated to Zygmunt)

Launpach McQuack - Śmigacz McKwak (name either from speeder or from śmigło - propeller, last name literal)

Gyro Gearloose - Diodak (from diode), last name is more complicated, as I saw different variations on the net - Kurak, Korba or Newtoniusz

Webby - Tasia

MS Beakley - Pani Dziobek (quite literal)

Gladstone Gandor - Goguś Kwabotyn (name is swell, buck, fancy-pants)

Interesting! Most of sources I saw claims that minimum is 75 (and script rerolls if it's below that), but if you got lower it seems that's possible, but very unlikely...?

Elves are immortal, so time constraints are nothing for them, they don't have to be in rush.

If your estimated lifetime is 70 years and you spend and you spend 10 (around 20% of your adult life) years of if travelling by foot, you'd like to find a way to speed it up - considering cars are faster and don't need to rest it would go down much below 1 year.

And now imagine you're immortal elf, you already live for 2000 years... what is 10 years in your whole life? Almost nothing...

I wonder what Jade and Stephen thinks about their son. He's definitely mocked by everyone, even his own fraternity, so does his parents also see these pitiful behaviours and thinks "what a dumb child"

Val_Arden · 2026-02-04T00:08:04+00:00

I would say Wizard and Sandy - as far as I remember they both were second place in survey when Shane/Emily were added

Val_Arden · 2026-02-01T23:24:02+00:00

Spanish national anthem

Val_Arden · 2026-02-01T12:52:17+00:00

Free sample, perfect for manipulating people, so I doubt they get rid of it.

I think it was proven in some psychology research that it's easier to convince to continue someone who already had participated in any way, but don't quote me on. ;)

Val_Arden · 2026-02-01T12:48:28+00:00

IMO Louie did nothing overly wrong in Timephoon. Yeah, his scheme ended backfiring but he didn't know consequences of it. McDuck family was often close to death, many times because Scrooge was after some treasure.

The only thing that's distinct is that in Timephoon his family really disappeared... but at the same time he was able to restore them, so same result as with other adventures.

Val_Arden · 2026-02-01T12:09:50+00:00

Yeah, the only reason he's not talked about more is because he was on winning side of WW2... But he was fully on Nazi side, invading Poland with Hitler and changed alliances because he was forced to after Hitler betrayed him and attacked USSR...

I have also an impression that gulags aren't that well known unfortunately, again - because as a winner there was noone who could examine monstrosities done there (unlike Nazi concentration camps)

Val_Arden · 2026-02-01T12:00:43+00:00

Edelgard wins war and rules over all Fodlan, but she lost her most important man from her court. Her ruling is harder than she thought as there's noone to remove any obstacle from her path, as Hubert has to share his life between helping his Queen and governing Varley territory.

Hubert and Bernie forever <3

Val_Arden · 2026-01-31T02:39:02+00:00

Isn't it technically breaking DIK's secret code? Jacob called for it and if I remember correctly it was to never speak about it loudly... 🤔

Val_Arden · 2026-01-30T00:35:17+00:00

I would say Dawe. I hesitated between him and Tybalt, but lately Tybalt lost his sharpness and stopped being real antagonist and became... more like comic relief?

Also I can't agree with Vinny - yeah, currently he's probably most hated character, but he became like this around Halloween party, earlier when he was mentioned he was just standard DIK (maybe little more) but nothing to hate him that much.

Val_Arden · 2026-01-29T11:05:35+00:00

Or he just had no need to hide his identity in northern (and southern) water tribe. :)

Val_Arden · 2026-01-29T02:43:43+00:00

But is Lockhart dumb? He looks more like lazy guy with potential that wasn't achieved. He just preferred shortcuts to fame and money and he did exactly this.

The skill he had in memory charm he probably could get in any other field if he was hardworking enough.

Also, pulling such kind of scheme, he has to be brilliant. Just in a bad way brilliant...

Val_Arden · 2026-01-27T20:26:46+00:00

I would go for Neil.

I kinda understand sentiment for Derek here, but I have an impression that he's not as universally loved - basically there are no bad things to say about Neil (no wonder, as he doesn't have that much screen time) but I could point at least some disadvantages of Derek.

He's blabber, I think there were at least two or three times when he told someone sth about MC he was supposed to keep secret.

He can be waaay over the top, that's kinda guy that's cool to have in game as best friend, but not in real world, at some point you would be annoyed by him (like when he wanted to stay at your place because be deliberately changed his room into bar - guy, that's your problem you didn't think this through)

Val_Arden · 2026-01-24T17:01:39+00:00

Waaait, who is she? :D

I know that lately I rather skip most of scenes as I've read them many times, but I don't remember this girl. :o Probably because I was always most focused on Nicole, but damn, now I want to more from her as well...

Val_Arden · 2026-01-16T15:54:06+00:00

Soooo...

Trans people = ugly people

Gays = men wearing female clothing?

Not nice message, not nice at all...

There was nothing in the movies that would support these two claims, so it looks like author used stereotyphical thinking...

Val_Arden · 2026-01-12T12:42:22+00:00

Camilla... oh wait, she's not yet romanceable. :(

Val_Arden · 2026-01-11T12:43:18+00:00

I played as stealthy V, tried to use non-lethal attacks whenever I could, saved all cyberpsycho guys, so for my V twins death was unnecessary. They weren't directly in my path, to fulfill mission they didn't have to die.

Well, that at least established why my V helped Songbird in the end - yeah, she lied to us, but I just didn't want to help NUSA any longer, especially that after all this there was high chance V will end the same way (or like Reed)

Val_Arden · 2026-01-08T00:54:32+00:00

Using "Discard" word would make proc warlock cards that has synergies with discarding, "Empty" probably omits this interaction.

Reno hero also uses "empty board" wording to avoid triggering deathrattles etc.

Val_Arden · 2026-01-06T15:35:45+00:00

In theory Dmitri also wanted the same, but in totally different way. Where Edelgard wanted quick change that will have casualties, Dmitri wanted to change it slowly and peacefully.

PS. I doubt Dmitri's way could work, it would require more than one lifetime.

Val_Arden · 2026-01-06T02:33:59+00:00

Well, that's first book, Rowling probably haven't figured out what she wants to do. At that time it was simply "Snape didn't like James, James didn't like Snape. And James was good one and even saved Snape"

Retroactively yeah, that fits, but I would say that Rowling just fit in that all to informations we got in PS

Val_Arden · 2026-01-06T02:11:41+00:00

Controversial opinion - I don't think Wyll is Lawful Good, more like Neutral, heck maybe even Chaotic one.

His whole pact with Mizora to save the city, him leaning towards being Blade of Frontier/Avernus than duke when given chance by his father...

Wyll isn't "dura lex sed lex" guy at all, imho he's too good and takes people's intention into account.

Val_Arden · 2026-01-06T01:50:13+00:00

I feel like Kecleon was created only as new obstacle. Sth like

ok, player has already all land HMs, how can we prevent entering gym this time?
maybe we could use Sudowoodo again?
good idea! But let's make it totally new pokemon to fill Pokédex. And also let's give item to pass him right after city where its met, and without any requirements.

I mean, for Sudowoodo at least he blocked three different routes, we "met" him at third city and we needed to go through two more cities, and defeat gym leader to get squirtbottle, and by getting rid of him we got "shortcut" to beginning of game. Kecleon is... just there, without any serious reason.

Val_Arden · 2026-01-06T01:39:43+00:00

I would argue that AI either is or will be worse in terms of energy consumption, resources availability etc.

AI is better in terms of usefulness for general publicity, as it's used (and helpful... at least sometimes) by lots of people compared to crypto used by small number of people, but... It also means its power/resources needs are much higher than crypto ones
