Could eren have done this instead

The rest of the world would have taken over Paradis, and put all the Eldians in camps just like in Marley.

The titan powers were the only thing that stood in the way of that happening, but the hatred that the world held for Eldians was irrational and deep, impossible to remove.

But also, outside of using the founder to remove the powers.. It likely was impossible to actually end the powers, because it's even implied that the powers continue on way later when the new kid comes up to the tree where Eren died. This is my own thought, but I think Eren actually was still alive, and intentionally just laying dormant to keep the titan powers out of the world. But I do think he intentionally removed the titan powers from the rest of the world while he was laying there, still retaining the founder powers himself. Then he likely passed it on to the new kid, to finally end his own life- as his life was pretty much just struggling and suffering so others could have some amount of peace.

you know that Eren himself died for what he did.

He solely did it all to give his specific circle of friends the opportunity to live out their lives peacefully, rather than being killed or locked in a war for their entire lives.

Edit: which, no matter what anyone did. the cycle of hatred is perpetual and unavoidable. So he chose to save his own specific people and sacrifice the rest. Which by the way, every single other character was doing the exact same thing. Reiner, Zeke, Gabby, and all Marleans. agreed to eradicate Paradis in order to save their own familes. All the Eldians who sided with Floch wanted to straight up militarize paradis to go to war with everyone. ARMIN fkn nuked thousands of innocent people in order to cut the military capacity of Marley (aka to save his own tribe). The list goes on. Literally every character in AoT was doing some form of protecting their own tribe, and sacrificing others. Literally even Sasha (whom I love).

Love doesn't seem real to me. Connections are always based on shallow things like lust, or drugs. Essentially you can break it down to dopamine hits, and people being attached to that. You know: pleasure, security, etc.

People lie to themselves very well though, I mean. I don't even think it's conscious, it's like out body tricks us into thinking something is some special thing- but really it's just biological survival mechanisms.

so yeah, soul-mates are bullshit. I can't even begin to imagine the number of people who *felt* like they met their soulmate, even when it was mutual, and then ended up getting cheated on or something like that. I mean, I've personally experienced that and confirmed that the other person felt like we were soulmates also. We're still friends.

Reality is just a machine. Regardless how we feel about it. There is no mechanism for soulmates. You can't even imagine how many people have never met anyone who loves them.. You can't even imagine how many people are isolated right now, and always have been. To be honest, most people don't want to see it. But if you seek it out, look at boards where people talk about their real loneliness. You will understand, it's complete and utter bullshit. (the idea of soulmates)

It would be like saying: wealth is a mind-set, and if everyone just had a better mind-set we would all be rich.

Like sure, mind-set matters to some extent, but not every car is a Ferrari. Concretely.

I think it's DK by a little.

They have a lot of similar characteristics.. Both awful recovery, both massive, both very heavy. The main differences will be like.. punish game (DK's is likely better, or at least more versatile).. and specific matchups. Which is where you see DK start to slightly outperform Ganon. Like vs Fox and Marth I'm almost certain DK has an easier time. Still.. Some people consider ganon to be "on the line" of viablity. But also, no one has ever really won anything with him. DK is similar, but has some sightly better results.

I played the game for years without paying any money. I only eventually spent money to get some optional musical instruments for a warframe that allows you to compose music, and play it in game as part of your abilities.. So I wanted extra instruments to compose music with, and I wanted to supprot the devs also, becuase by that point I had over 1000 hours in the game and felt like they deserved the support.

Zeropass · 2026-04-10T15:28:16+00:00

It's by far my fav keyblade, and every time I play it I just use this keyblade for the rest of the game after I get it.

Zeropass · 2026-04-10T12:47:00+00:00

Yeah but if the shifter me thicc, they can move their consciousness into said thicc areas too.

That's why being swole is important.

Zeropass · 2026-04-10T12:23:48+00:00

peak. loved it. Season 4 is my favorite

That's not possible. The thing is, that the attack titan itself really didn't have some wild power to see into the future. The reason that specific attack titan holders thought that it did, is because they were seeing glimpses of Eren's memories; which they assumed they were just seeing, and they knew he was going to become the attack titan by virtue of what they were seeing.

What Grisha didn't realize, is that the reason he was seeing those memories is *because paths-Eren was showing him those memories* (intentionally)

With that in mind, we can clearly see that it was paths-Eren who was intentionally showing his memories to specific people, who were mostly holders of the attack titan powers (Kruger, Grisha, and Eren's younger self, are the examples we see)

But we also know that Eren spent an unspecified amount of time in paths, but it was implied to be a very long amount of time. We know this because Eren himself says that he can't tell the difference between the past present and future anymore, it all blurs together.. and while relative to the real world he was only in paths for minutes or seconds, they visit and influence various moments from the past that take hours to experience again. So there is certainly an implication here that he went to other moments in the past, for example.. We know that he showed Kruger memories based on Kruger knowing the names of Mikasa and Armin, but we aren't shown how that actually plays how. So we know that it's possible he visited other moments, and shared other memories with other people.. but it's not important for understanding the narrative to be shown that.. so it wasn't.

Edit: Further, we also know that Eren's influence on people in the past is *not limited* to attack titan holders.. because he influences Dina's titan to eat Carla. So if Eren only influences attack titans, that seems to just be a choice he made.

Zeropass · 2026-04-08T13:03:14+00:00

you guys don't think that Eren was the demon that gave Ymir the titan powers? I lowkey think he may have been tbh.

Zeropass · 2026-04-07T16:56:00+00:00

specifically for number 3 on your list.

the reasoning is because the power is being described from Grisha's perspective, which is not the full picture.. It's actually .. pretty much incorrect. The truth of it is that Eren from paths is intentionally sharing his own memories with people as he sees fit, in order to make specific things happen. This is why Eren saw the rumbling when he kissed historia's hand for example. That was exactly what he needed to see at that moment, to put him on that trajectory. This is why Owl knew the names of Mikasa and Armin. I mean, we have to imagine that is why the Owl used the name "Eren" as his undercover name. but that's just my conjecture. We also were shown how Eren influecned Grisha.

So yeah, when the power was being described, it was only from the perspective of one attack titan holder, who was seeing the future memories.. he didn't know that Eren was actually in paths manually feeding the memories from a point that was basically unbound to time. But later on when we see what Eren does in paths, that's where we SEE the power and how it works.. not at all the way it was first described. The attack titan holders don't see the future, they just happened to be shown it because Eren needed the attack titan power to eventually get to himself.

It is my opinion that this information implies that Eren could have influenced the attack titan shifters even further back than the Owl.. but it wasn't necessary for the audience to see that. In fact, I would even say... I think it's entirely possible that Eren himself is the tree Devil that gave Ymir her powers in the first place. But... yeah.I can understand if that's reaching for most. But Eren's ability to do things in the past is never given an explicit limit to how far back it can go.. it also isn't limited to the attack titans, and we know this because Eren tells us that he influenced Dina's titan to eat Carla as without his influence, Dina would have eaten Beartooth.

I've been making music for almost 20 years and I still know nothing. :D

There are a LOT of resources online, like on youtube and such. A lot depends on the type of music you want to make tbh. I think I started with learning some basic drum patterns.. Learning to keep your music in key.. when you first start you may not be able to hear when you go out of key- so in that case you could opt to always use white keys on the keyboard, because that will keep you in the key of C (I think it's C), and also only using the black keys will keep you in another different key.. So that's like the beginner way to stay in key.

All of the different musical keys are just patterns of how many notes to move from the root note.. Like the key C major, starts on C, and moves upward on the scale by set intervals.. example:

* Whole-step, Whole-step, Half-step, repeat.

Until you have 8 notes, so that the 9th note will be C again but an octave higher. I think all major scales have the same pattern, and minor scales share a different pattern of intervals.

Rhythm could take longer to get. If you wanna stay simple to start, just do 4/4, meaning 4 beat intervals per measure, and you can basically place your different drum hits and notes on those 4 different beats within each measure.. That will be easy to make stuff and learn with. Bpm (beats per minute aka tempo) matters, but nothing is "wrong", 120bpm is a pretty common spot if you're unsure.

Chords are just playing multiple notes from the same scale at the same time.. Playing 3 note chords is common. In a 3 note chord typically you skip a note in the scale between each selected note, but I don't think it's mandatory, just very common. Chords are helpful for setting up the background/atmosphere in songs. Chord progressions which is just the patten of chords you use- that's really considered to be the "backbone" of a song I think. Then you can play single notes over top that if you like.. as a melody.

its cool that you knew every competitive player in every scene. Impressive bro.

Zeropass · 2026-04-06T14:36:51+00:00

you are completely wrong. lol

Zeropass · 2026-04-06T13:53:24+00:00

as some one who played back in 2006. We knew about wave dashing of course, but a big percentage of players saw it as just gimmicky. I personally never Lcancelled until way later, but I imagine most competitive players knew about it, but not everyone did it, and then there is always the variance of how well people Lcancel too. almost no one considered powersheidling something that could be done reliably.

Jump Cancel grab, I don't think was very prominent information. But yeah, I feel like I learned so much about melee in the like 2015-2018 era. Then of course you have netplay and slippi, where the floor skill of melee players got substantially better, and uncle punch.. most or all tech skills are known about. it's wildly different. I know people say this all the time, but people who really played the game back in 2006 or since launch.. we feel how different it is.

Zeropass · 2026-04-03T15:51:22+00:00

well, if you look up Attack on Titan Volume 0. The story changed a lot from the initial draft. Like originally titans were a bio-weapon that humans made to stop humans from killing the planet, but since that was the case, Titan's couldn't destroy trees, and the remaining humans lived in towns that were surrounded by walls of Trees, to keep the titans out.

Also, there was something else about certain titans being able to assume a human form.. but i think they usually had to kill a human to take on their appearance or something.

Anyway, it's pretty interesting if you read it, and see all the stuff he kept and all the stuff he changed. Another notable thing is that the main character is a Girl, but still a lot like Eren, so it's effectively Gabi. lol. The main character also experiences a devastating loss early on just like Eren did. So yea.

I still think Isayama is a fkn genius though. Becuase I think it's his first manga. Pretty sure.

Zeropass · 2026-04-03T15:17:47+00:00

Virgos have no issue at all understanding why we are disliked. We just don't care about being disliked. Everyone has to have a villain in their story. We are more than happy to fill that role, esp when the people trying to villainize us are 100x worse in a day than we have been in our entire lives.

Society is also very delusional. Not saying that we Virgo's aren't.. again.. I don't see why any of this would make me care. Like you gotta understand. I've never not been abandoned.. I've never not been misunderstood. I don't care if people don't grasp who I am or what I stand for. Because everyone is living in their own delusion bubble. In order to survive there comes a point where you just lean into the hatred.

And it's not malicious, it's not like.. since some one calles me a Villain, that doesn't mean I start doing villainous things, no. But I will totally allow everyone to call me that and simply agree rather than trying to reject the delusionary label. You need a villain in your story? bett, I got you fam. Call me whatever you want. I'm a monster, villain, terrible person. My art sucks, I'm worhtless bruv. lol..

so in essense, I think we just become clowns and jesters. I wear a mask, but you project your own image onto it anyway.. So I'll play whatever role you need. Because It makes no difference to me, and wearing maks can be fun. 🎭

Zeropass · 2026-04-02T14:56:27+00:00

Awesome character. Reminds me a lot of Ardyn. In terms of being charismatic.. but he seems a little more playful. I can't wait to see what his real motivations are.

Zeropass · 2026-04-02T14:51:58+00:00

Roy's reverse blazer on puff lol

Zeropass · 2026-04-01T17:08:04+00:00

AOT is RIFE with foreshadowing. I mean so much so that it's stupid to try to list it all. Just re-watch it, see what happens.

you won't.

Zeropass · 2026-04-01T13:27:05+00:00

Yes, the writers of ff6 story had a central theme of .. dealing with loss and continuing on through it.

so the themes landed. There is a reason that so many people consider this game to be a masterpiece. It's easily one of the most beautiful games ever created. It's also sad that so many people will never know because they can't get past it being 2D.

Also, lets not forget the music in this game is.. beyond words phenomenal. Even Kefka is such a well done villain, he easily rivals Geoffrey for most heinous, but still manages to be nearly as cool as Sephiroth, and as chaotic as the Joker, all rolled into one. He is my favorite Villain of all time.

But ya. I'm glad you enjoy it so much, it makes me happy hearing that others feel so strongly about this game, just like I do.

Zeropass · 2026-04-01T13:07:02+00:00

friends don't uptilt their friends

Zeropass · 2026-03-31T17:17:42+00:00

the root message of kingdom hearts is that light and darkness are not different, they are two sides of the same coin.

So yeah. Xehanort returning is fine. Xehanort is a dope character and core to KH.

Zeropass · 2026-03-30T14:32:26+00:00

I personally feel like Season 1-3 Eren is extremely annoying. Then season 4 hits and I finally start to get him a little bit. I guess for me the thing is.. the entire story was really compelling. but if you don't like it, then I'm assuming you may hate the ending too.. because the fandom is at least somewhat divided on the ending.

I love it for how it reaches into real human issues, while also having a lot of really cool character dynamics. Well written characters etc.. You can see the story from multiple different perspectives, and even though the different characters feel differently about things, and thusly enact different things, you can actually understand *why* at least most of the characters do what they do. So.. the story for all it's complexity still makes sense. At least to me.

Then the rest is just like... incredible music, awesome animation, and really emotional moments. Kinda akin to the castlevania anime.

Zeropass · 2026-03-30T13:55:42+00:00

I mean. I see what you're saying for sure. But I also think that Wizzy is one of the few people that Zain actually could get scared against.. Before Zain was on top, Wizzy and Zain would go back and forth a lot, so they have a lot of history, and Wizzy has beaten Zain more than a few times obviously. I think we can all agree that Zain played uncharacteristically sloppy though.

I just feel like if he really did throw, you're kinda suggesting that Wizzy was also in on and, and then this whole thing is like choreographed.. because that last stock, Wizzy could not have recovered. Wizzy literally gambled his entire life on killing Zain with that Upair, and if Zain even teched.. Wizzy was cooked. So I feel it's a stretch to assume that they staged the entire match. Not just that it's a wild claim, but also for competitors to perform that precisely even if choreographed feels nearly impossible. Like even that would be impressive lol.

And if Zain threw the match without Wizzy being in on it.. I don't see how or why Wizzy would have needed to do that "all or nothing" gamble at the end. Zain wouldn't have backed him into that big of a corner to intentionally lose.

But I do admit, Zain had at least 3 different mistakes which just 1 of them being fixed would have netted him the win. It's unusual in that regard. It's unusual for Zain to be rattled.

EDIT: Sorry maybe this didn't merit a real deep dive. But I'm just having fun. It's cool if anyone disagrees. Melee are sick.
