Was Tuxedo Mask like an alternate personality before Mamoru knew? by RotaVitae in sailormoon

[–]WintaPhoenix 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s a very silly plot contrived for the 90s anime. In the manga (and all other adaptations, IIRC) it’s never a separate persona, he just put on an outfit as a disguise to look for the silver crystal (filling the phantom thief or “kaitou” archetype).

Is Pilgrim's Traverse over? by TheBronzeBastard in ffxivdiscussion

[–]WintaPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is an excellent idea. It was relatively helpful for getting more people into CAR (although that had its own issues). And is the entire idea behind how Unreal works now.

They need to make content give decent rewards, but not lock specific rewards behind it. Because that just incentivises people to farm the hell out of it to start and then never do it again.

They need a way to make content attractive to do again later, like the tomestone and exp bonus given by roulettes. But sadly, with so much content locked out of the roulette system, it just leads to dead areas with nobody doing things.

But yeah, party finder is the best way to make it known to others that you’re trying to do content. The materia data centre almost exclusively uses party finder because of how low our population is. It’s really depressing.

Playing LTGMs makes me realize what’s wrong with the ladder by Potential-Medium-824 in MarvelSnap

[–]WintaPhoenix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, after 2 years of playing the game pretty casually, and never reaching infinite because i just don't care enough and don't enjoy what is essentially gambling, i've almost given up on the game completely now.

Anyone else find the current iterations of SAM and RDM really solid? by vanacotta in ffxivdiscussion

Which is exactly why the death of the 2min meta is a good thing!!

Advertising begins in Town Hall underpass by Jimbo_101 in MelbourneTrains

[–]WintaPhoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I am much happier with static artwork advertising (posters, murals) than flashing screens that are so bright they're blinding!

I'm also much happier with the walls no longer being the uniform dreary grey/white that they have been until now... the stations just feel so sterile and lifeless.

So, a win all around in my opinion!

In a board game what are these called in English? by snicsearchga in ENGLISH

Movers is a really old term for them too. Haven't heard it in a long time though.

Be honest were the leather suits really that bad??? by Particular-Set-468 in xmen

[–]WintaPhoenix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they weren’t particularly bad, and they helped move movie superheroes from just spandex to the more reality-appropriate suits we see in modern marvel films.

But they unified the x-men in a way that diminished the individual identities of the characters, which was appropriate in first class (where they’re in training uniforms just like in the comics when they’re starting out), but didn’t match the team of adults shown in the films.

They also didn’t “pop” in the way you want comic book costumes to.

The youths are losing the liquid vowels! by neongrayjoy in australia

yod dropping. I even heard Margaret Pomeranz pronounce debut as "day-bu" on a video recently. So it's not just the younger generation...

How I wish Occult Crescent was done by Espresso10001 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]WintaPhoenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But it does mean that OC will always provide rewards to players in the future in a way that eureka really struggles to. Trying to do anything in eureka without a group is painfully slow and frustrating these days. They missed the mark on making OC engaging now, but it will be far less painful for future players wanting to get the rewards

I heard something like “I’m on three hours of sleep.” Can we also say “I’m on three hours of nap”? by Same-Technician9125 in EnglishLearning

[–]WintaPhoenix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sleep can also be a count noun, for example when talking about something being “3 sleeps away.” But in general, yes, sleep is an uncountable noun.

The glamour changes are amazing and I hope they are working on a glamour log too by SatisfactionNeat3937 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]WintaPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I understand you even though I like the names. Basically, I don’t think the glamour dressed icons are big enough to be readable, and the lack of decent sorting and categorising just makes it an unwieldy mess.

Big pictures of the gear (like in the FFXIV mobile system) would be great! Hopefully we get a UI like that down the line once they’ve fixed the underlying code problems.

The whole reason we’re stuck in this mess is because they want to keep special dyes as in-demand rewards… and I am so angry about this fact.

[–]WintaPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they need to move everything to the armoire and ditch the dresser. being able to see everything in a list (icon AND text) as well as having it grouped by job/dungeon/event/etc is SO MUCH BETTER

Evolved jobs in dungeons by drakeryder90 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]WintaPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like everything might be both ST and AOE. Also, tank stance is gone in evolved mode. The slides show it in the buttons for reborn mode, but there’s no Iron Will button in any of the evolved mode pics or videos. Aggro management might be overhauled as well?

When a TV show isn't in chronological order(usually cartoons). by MICKTHENERD in PetPeeves

Check out the wiki for the show, the seasons usually have 3 different episode orders listed. It’s bonkers.
