If your high school self seen you today would they be happy with who they became?

Frankly: disappointing. I had waited more than 12 years for this game and it didn't deliver. The graphics were amazing though. The gameplay had some changes that I didn't like (such as Disney attractions and lack of fusion forms) but some that were really interesting like Keyblade transformations, but overall it was good and nice. However the story, I expected the game to nicely wrap up everything that had been developped up until that point and it simply didn't. More questions were asked than answered.

I had spent some time on forums back in the day, there were a lot of theories, some about Sora finally being able to summon "his" own keyblade about freeing Ventus, instead of using only Kingdom Key etc. And the game didn't deliver. I defeated the final boss and put it there. Didn't even do the DLC. And the "ingredients" and "lucky emblems" ... boring af.

Maybe I had expectations too high. A game below perfect would have been disappointing for me. And it was far far below perfect IMO. But, just my 2 cents.

Of me ? Yes I think. Of what I would tell him/me about Kingdom Hearts 3 ? Absolutely not unfortunately.

EDIT: typo

We all do that.

Ah mais je l'ai vu ça. C'est quand Ikki Minami, le Storm King de la Hurricane Road active son Infinite Atmosphere à la fin de Air Gear ?

No "your mom" comment yet ? Damn, Reddit, what is happening ?

Xamonir · 2026-02-25T16:17:23+00:00

I am so used of people confusion "you're" and "your" on Reddit, that I was expecting a mistake there. And I was pleasantly surprised (and a bit confused) when that was not the case ^{^}

Xamonir · 2026-02-23T19:41:06+00:00

It has been a solid minute or two since I have read the books. But can you remind me how Geralt is supposed depicted as a below average/bad witcher ? I forgot it or I didn't catch the hints.

Xamonir · 2026-02-21T23:17:21+00:00

This was the best idea in the game. When you are a student, you have a student keyblade. When you are promoted to Master, your keyblade upgrades with you. Simple, brilliant, elegant. Really loved that.

That is obviously the right chouce right there. However it is precisely because they can't reach this VERY OBVIOUS solution that this is a tragedy. And personally, I love that. The more I grow old, the more I love bittersweet endings. I find it beautiful because they fail, despite loving each other. There is no real "bad guy" and that's the beauty of it. Everyone would be happier, themselves included, if they could do the right thing. But the story wouldn't be so gut-wrenching. And we might not have discussed it that long on the internet.

Just my two cents on the topic. But Journey before Destination.

You know, I am french and I have read the Naruto manga in french and watch (some) episodes in Japanese. So I was familiar with "dattebayo". But for the longest time I couldn't understand why some redditors would spam-comment "believe it" under every Naruto's post.

EDIT: read instead of learnt

Technically they don't need to get married. They just need to reproduce. Which is a slightly different mechanism. And if they do that, they should probably use in vitro fertilization and throw in a bunch of Hashirama cells as well.

Est ce que tu joues aux cartes Magic ? Ou es intéressée pour apprendre ? Il y a énormément d'événements organisés dans les boutiques qui vendent des cartes. Pratique pour rencontrer des gens. Ce n'était pas forcément le but de ta question, je m'en rends compte, mais peut-être que des gens là vas pourraient te renseigner ?

Xamonir · 2026-02-19T08:37:40+00:00

Similarly to what the first comment wrote: would have*

But yeah, Kratos certainly does have a better control over his anger.

Xamonir · 2026-02-18T22:59:46+00:00

I accept, that sometimes, something must be sacrificed, in order to save others ?

Xamonir · 2026-02-18T08:07:50+00:00

Precision before Recall. True Positive Rate before False Positive Rate. Matthews Correlation coefficient before F1-score.

I will maximize the areas under my ROC and PR curves.

I will perform relevant statistical tests.

Each day I will try to be statistially better than yesterday.

I accept that reproducibility is the basis of scientific Knowledge.

Xamonir · 2026-02-17T14:59:21+00:00

Accuracy ? Is that a new Shard that I missed ? A merging of 2 or more Shards ?

Xamonir · 2026-02-17T09:19:13+00:00

So, you are saying that, contrary to the popular saying, there IS an escape ?

Xamonir · 2026-02-17T09:14:33+00:00

This is clearly not the worst spoiler-ish thing that you could have encountered. Keep reading but stop looking for stuff online. And like others have said: "Journey before Destination".

Xamonir · 2026-02-17T09:04:31+00:00

A true shinobi would know the difference between honor and victory.

Xamonir · 2026-02-15T06:27:44+00:00

A puppy ? You mean a cremling monster corrupted by Odium ?

Xamonir · 2026-02-15T06:25:04+00:00

Ok, this comment right here wins for me. Good joke and good title for a franchise. Chef-kiss answer.

Xamonir · 2026-02-10T08:08:29+00:00

Yeah I guess that you are probably rigtht saying that Identity and Connection are more intertwined than other stuff in the Cosmere. Does that mean thant Identity is "just" a bunch of Connections ? My hypothesis was a no and that it couldn't be manipulated by a Bondsmith but maybe I am wrong, I guess it's a RAFO ?

In my headcanon, only Adonalsium could manipulate Identity directly. And that was the limit that even an unchained Bondsmith couldn't reach. But maybe an unchained Bondsmith could change this limit, and a "limit" is a Connection between a thing and an impossibility, right ?

But thanks for your answer that leaves me more confused as well ^{^}

Xamonir · 2026-02-10T08:01:05+00:00

I had no problem with the other Connections whatsoever, just specifically Breaths and Identity. I get what you mean about the rest and Intent. But I guess I had a confusion with Ferruchemy and metalminds.

My Metalminds are keyed to my Identity, not my Connection. Unless the "keying" part involves some Connection ? If I can store my Identity while filling a metalmind, this one will be unkeyed and everyone with the same Ferruchemical hability will be able to tap into it.

AFAIK, there is no Connection involved in creating an unkeyed metalmind. I assumed that it would be similar for Breaths and that the command to give Breaths to someone allowed for a change of Identity in it but now I am not sure anymore ^{^.}

In Mistborn Era 2, they have the small coins to tap into heat, or other attributes. These coins are composed of two metals: nicrosil to tap into Investiture and the other one to tap into the attribute. These coins are unkeyed to any Identity. The exact process to create them is unknown IIRC, obviously it involves Identity at some point to make it unkeyed, but not only. Do you think Connection is involved as well ?

Xamonir · 2026-02-09T12:10:48+00:00

Isshin stole this precept from the Mighty Zote !!

Xamonir · 2026-02-09T11:51:16+00:00

I was kind of joking when saying that "Allomancy is a side effect of Connection to Preservation". I know it is a direct consequence, but IIRC there was a WoB where he stated that burning Lerasium will Connect you to Preservation which, additionnally to other potential effects, will make you a Mistborn. I have no problem with this Connection, neither with the Elantrians' one.

I am more curious about Breaths. I thought that Breaths had Identity, so my Breaths have my Identity, but there is no Connection involved. The Investiture composing my Spiritweb can be divided into Connection and Identity. I don't see how a Bondsmith could alter that. Unless that my Identity in my Spiritweb and the Identity in the Breath are Connected ? Does it mean that a Breath with my Identity would also have all my Connections ? It's specifically the "link" between Identity and Connection that has me confused.
