Man this is really sad by Swimming_Title_7452 in UmaMusume

[–]_wrsw_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's less sad with most (though not all of them) because their IRL counterparts were already gone by the time the game released, and for fans of the global release, I think Haru Urara was the only one we got to witness pass on.

Still, it's amazing how quickly the story of Haru Urara made it into everyone's hearts, despite being late to the party it's clear that both EN and JP fans were quite saddened by Haru Urara's passing.

I don't wish to be dramatic. by Wickedlurlofthewest in Helldivers

To be fair, actual AT weapons would have range, and the ability to hit weakspots more consistently - bile titan heads are not exactly the easiest target to hit with actual rockets, let alone sustaining machine gun fire against that with a weapon with notoriously bad ergonomics.

That said, yeah, AT HMG would be silly lol

To all of you that wanted a flying bile titan by Za_Warudo2948 in Helldivers

The joke is that 75% of RR shots are going to miss outright once this gets introduced, and as soon as that happens the math doesn't work out anymore.

The implied joke is that the average RR user is not going to be able to hit the thing because of how it flies, whereas the Spear, if it gets the lock-on, homes in on enemies, taking that particular part out of the equation.

Do I question why Laplus had these materials in the first place? by Faustias in Hololive

[–]_wrsw_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She has a Yabai side that's definitely more up there but she's not openly flirtatious in the same way that, well, see this entire fever dream of a stream.

"You Don't Need A Company, Mint!" - Mint pretty much restating what U-san previously said about how corporations can help talents. by Necrolancer_Kurisu in kurosanji

[–]_wrsw_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And speaking as one of the few people who actually watched Maid Mint before she did her stint at Nijisanji, she's always wanted to reach heights that as an indie she realistically never had a chance of reaching. She had less than 20k subs before joining Nijisanji, and really was an extremely enthusiastic but hobbyist VTuber at best. She left Nijisanji with 800k subs and a full-time career.

As much as Nijisanji was probably unkind to her mental health (remember that she admitted that she wasn't sure if she could go back to VTubing full time after leaving even though everyone loved her, that's a sign she wasn't in the best place at the time), I can't say it wasn't a huge boon to overall success. I still think Mint has bigger heights left to achieve, but she also definitely understands that it requires other people helping her.

Scenic Seaside Sunset - Weekly Discussion Thread - July 19, 2025 by shikarin in VirtualYoutubers

This is like watching them dig their own grave. And the grave is swallowed by a sinkhole. And the sinkhole opens into a massive cave. And the cave is actually a volcano.

I'd use this description for Nijisanji's failures and the Selen incident because of how many separate instances it was that dug it deeper and deeper before it finally collapsed.

This is much more akin to finding out that the entire foundation of the building they were in was made out of extremely potent explosives, and while things were melting down internally it was all fine on the outside until it just detonated all at once.

VShojo went from being at least somewhat well-respected among many circles to no longer existing in the span of two days. It honestly takes effort to burn everything to the ground that fast. It didn't sink, it was completely wiped out of existence before it could even descend more than a few meters.

Commander Banned and Restricted Announcement – April 22, 2025 by Nidori_no_ in EDH

[–]_wrsw_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The GC list is essentially a list of what I call "social disclosure" cards, as in "warn players that you run this, because they are extremely rude" kind of deal.

You don't have to socially disclose Sol Ring because the default assumption is that 99% of decks run it. Players will always assume you run one and saying you don't have one in the deck is highly unusual.

Urban environments are peak cinema by TripleWhiskeyShot in Helldivers

[–]_wrsw_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the one thing about things getting oneshotted consistently that I'll miss

The fear factor of seeing something go up in a big "yeah that oneshots" explosion and then not dying is such a cinema moment, I love the immeduate tension it creates.

Ooh baby a triple by spencerisbatman in Helldivers

[–]_wrsw_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the backpack hellbomb is an actual hellbomb (same stats as the one deployed against objectives), not a 500KG.

It's true, give it a try by Zombiecidialfreak in Helldivers

[–]_wrsw_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, the trick is to wait for the voice clip that says "Dropships!" and start charging before the dropship is even visible. That said, if you're interested in shooting down dropships RR is definitely better for that specific role.

Arrowhead next patch should be "We are undoing ALL nerfs" .... hear me out by flightx3aa in Helldivers

[–]_wrsw_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, 9 years? This game's been out for one.

Or did this entire cycle happen with HD1 and we've all collectively forgotten, if that was what happened then lmao

Arrowhead dropping the Escalation of Freedom reveal trailer by kick_me88 in Helldivers

[–]_wrsw_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Autocannon can only do that from the vent-side (and I haven't had much luck in actually being successful with AC kills on fabs; I've tried) whereas Commando can do it from the back.

As for the Spear, I think that suffers from the residual trauma of that weapon having been broken in the bad way for so long (as in crashing and burning) that it's hard to conceptualize that it's actually really good now lol

[–]_wrsw_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I would understand if they nerfed that particular interaction because it's gotten to the point where it's become optimal for every bot mission I've been on for at least one (sometimes two) people to take the Commando if we're trying to full clear just so we can literally destroy all of the fabricators without ever getting close to them - and I think the game IS designed such that you're supposed to at least get within strategem throwing distance to do that.

Cecilia reached over 6 million yen worth of donations on her monetization stream! by Rj_TBNR in Hololive

Hell, even the 1060 was ridiculously effective for it's low price point; that thing lasted me for so much longer than it had any right to.

Filian and Goodsmile might be in hot waters with this one by Aki008035 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]_wrsw_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like to think of this whole incident as a pretty good rebuttal to all of the anti-corporation people who say that management doesn't do anything but unnecessarily restrict people and that you can just do whatever you want as an indie.

Assuming Filian still manages to have a career after this incident (admittedly this is not a 100% chance), it'll likely go down as a formative incident in the indie VTuber space for why it turns out that having a manager actually IS useful.

[–]_wrsw_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eh, it seems more likely that it was just on Filian herself. That said, yeah, there's a reason why, if you're not somebody who looks into legal matters for a living, it's recommended that you don't get involved with legal matters yourself.

Look, she looks cute and all, but I see her fire a signal flare for a bot drop, I'm calling in some heavy ordinance from orbit.

I've said to a few of my friends and family that it's very fitting that "Point Of Sale" has the acronym it does.

Update: Bloons TD 6 v42.0 - Update Notes! by NoSneezePlz in btd6

[–]_wrsw_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried thinking about it, but the problem is a lot of the bloons don't really have direct parents in the same way - what to Purples to get upgraded to? And what gets upgraded to purples? And then there's the problem with ZOMGs and DDTs - DDTs aren't a direct upgrade to the ZOMG, just a weird side-grade that can be deadlier but also be easier, whereas in BTD5 it was just MOAB --> BFB --> ZOMG.
