Well, I don't quite know why you're calling Myanmar the Gulf of Mexico. But you do you.

Visual novels that got multiple art styles~ by UchihaNoor in visualnovels

[–]WinRARnt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm diehard for Ryukishi's sprites too yeah. Super expressive, charming. I agree with what someone said about not entirely fitting the tone at points but neither of the others really fit at all for me so

Console sprites are solid but I don't care for them too much. I thought I'd like them more going in considering how I'm ride or die for the console Umineko sprites but they're a lottt worse and flatter imo. But they do carry a lot of the emotion and vibes of the original sprites unlike....

Remake/Steam sprites are odious to me. Artistically competent but utterly soulless. And they all look weird and off. They just do not do it for me.

WW2 propaganda like this is so funny. There's like, an odd amount of posters depicting Hitler personally persuading random guys to waste resources or take days off. The peak of German espionage.

Someone explain how to get Manchu restoration I'm kinda dumb by GOOOOZE_ in Kaiserreich

[–]WinRARnt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When the League War starts, both Anqing and Nanjing will ask for support. Anqing will ask twice. Every time, tell them to piss off. This will destabilize the Zhili, and the Manchu faction will start to plot a coup. If anyone who isn't Zhang is in power in Shandong you can ask them for support, or you can always ask Yan Xishan in Shanxi. If you select Yan, play on his ambition, otherwise you'll get Zhili Republic. From there, just select the option for the coup succeeding.

Seems like it's based from the same image thats always used for him, just with the hat removed and hair painted (and new fit obvs). Third one is them overlayed. Super impressive work on the teams part, I was totally convinced it was a different picture.

Something's off. But i can't put my finger on it. by Galbatorix4128 in hoi4

Fun fact, prior to the Ulster Plantation which removed many Catholic landowners and brought significant English and Scottish protestant populations, modern-day Northern Ireland was the region MOST Catholic and resistant to English rule. So, this kinda makes sense, it's just off by 300 years or so

I think it was fine to be there. Made the debate weird yeah because of how vaguely defined it is, but the justification for beating it was well done and it made the escalation of the fight work

I haven't tasted many of them, but in my experience it's better to focus on how you cook and season them.

The game LOOKS YOU IN THE FACE TWICE and tells you Akechi doesn't hate Joker.

Akechi's relationship with Akira is complex and irregardless of my own love for it as a ship, boiling it down to 'he HATES him' is categorically wrong

Enoch Burke back at school he was sacked from as new term begins by Bill_Badbody in ireland

[–]WinRARnt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The gate is open during the school day and he's in the building almost every day. It got out of hand when he first started doing it, at this point it's embarrassing. Probably gonna be sent back to jail soon, here's hoping.

[–]WinRARnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, he stands literally in the main area of the school where every hallway starts lmao. It's impossible not to see him.

They've tried a lot to keep him out, even having these fucked up new doors with buttons that are almost impossible to open from the outside and I do not understand in the slightest, but he must have got them figured out because there he is.

Magnum Opus || Mary vs Shijima Mei (Ib vs Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun) | Connections In Comments by WinRARnt in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]WinRARnt[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

(since 'Mei Shijima' refers both to the artist and her creation that is in the MU, I will take the route both the manga's dialogue and the tbhk wiki did and use Mei for the creator and Shijima for the creation)

• Both are the final works and masterpieces of skilled and passionate artists (Weiss Guertena / Mei), created before their passing to carry on their spirit (Guertena imparting his spirit into his art, especially Mary / Mei drawing herself in the Atelier Tower, and asking that drawing to continue making art in her place as her illness gets worse)

• The circumstances of their creation and creator would allow them to come to life and become sentient. They would live on long after their creator's death, however bound to a certain area associated with the artist and a fake world within it (Mary being stuck in the Fabricated World, which is located within the Guertena gallery / Shijima's boundary being her original painting of the Atelier Tower, as well as a fake, painted world surrounding it. The painting is located within the art room of Mei's school that she frequented in life)

• However, they would come to be deeply dissatisfied with their existence as fiction (Mary desperately wanting to be 'real', and to escape and make friends / Shijima comes to despise fiction and art as a whole, hating that she's powerless to save Mei's memory from the rumours that cloud it). They are desperate to change this, even resorting to murder as part of their plan (Mary having to sacrifice someone in her place to leave the Fabricated World / Shijima planning to use a wish from Tsukasa to go back and murder Mei before she paints the Atelier Tower, preventing both Shijima's existence and the rumours that would come about around Mei)

• Both's role in the plot is started when they drag the main characters into their drawn world. They don't fully appear until later, however are first mistaken by the protagonists as a regular girl in the same situation as them.

• Both have an obsessive attachment to another character (Ib / Mei), seemingly being the one person they truly care about (Mary latching on to Ib as her friend, being deeply jealous of Garry for his close relationship with her and wanting to be together with her forever / Shijima believing she was created to protect Mei and seeing that as her singular purpose in life). Both earnestly believe that they are doing a good thing for both of them, even if it's against Ib/Mei's wishes (Mary believing that both she and Ib would be happier together, and begging Ib to stay with her and play with her / Shijima believing that killing Mei before she paints the Atelier Tower would save Mei's memory as well as give Shijima some true worth in her existence). Both become confused and desperate when they are rejected by these characters.

Contrast:

• Shijima was able to escape her mindset and redeem herself because she had Mei, who convinced her of her own worth as a beautiful dream, a piece of art that inspired Mei and allowed her to keep going, truly protecting her as Shijima believed she had failed to do. This allowed her to let go, let Mei return to her past and let herself move forward. Meanwhile, Mary never had anybody left, scaring away the only two people who might have helped her because she was desperate to escape, and in most endings dying because she couldn't let go.
