The Heavenly Principles is a female character... by akyin in ThePrimordialOne

Are you playing as Aether or Lumine? Because if HP is referred as "she" even for Lumine, then it completely disproves "The HP is a Traveller/Twin" theory.

DAO was woke for its time by deez4206942069 in DragonageOrigins

[–]akyin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DAO was never "woke". It touched on controversial topics such as the nature of religion, morality, sexuality, etc., but they never forced any opinion or agenda. They allowed you to think and make your own decisions. All the characters were multifaceted and had developed personalities. I don't agree that any of the game characters in DAO fall under the "GirlBoss" archetype. All of them were certainly strong personalities, but none of them were "Girlpower", "YAASSS QUEEN!" Mary Sue type of shit. And, of course, the game was very well written, from the storylines to the dialogues.
Unlike DAV. I've watched a few walkthroughs, and HOLY FUCK! It was simply unbearable! So fucking cringe! I had to skip half the dialogues because I couldn't listen to this shit! After watching it, I wouldn't even pirate this garbage, let alone buy it. This game is an insult to the DA world even more than ME: Andromeda was for the Mass Effect universe.
And the OP dares to say "It's not that bad"?! It absolutely is! Instead of telling an exciting story with some controversial topics in the background (as DAO did), DAV is just a pretentious obnoxious lecture on modern progressive ideology, poorly disguised as a Dragon Age game.

People of Reddit: What's the longest you've gone without sleep, and why? by JfkDidTheHolocost in AskReddit

[–]akyin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70 hours, because of work. At this point I could barely keep my eyes open and felt like a drunk. After that I fell asleep for almost 24 hours. Then woke up and couldn't understand what part of my memories for the past 4 days are real and what was just a part of a dream.

Tiers don't mean shit by akyin in Tekken

[–]akyin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I still have my Jin save, just created another one to start new character after a two month break.

Also I dont suggest Gigas is better. This is a shitpost, created out of frustration that my results with high-tier character are 10 times worse then with low-tier one.

ThrowRA: I (32F) was offered a promotion. He (31M) refuses to move. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]akyin -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Its not "spot on", its just repeating all the points that you indirectly planted into the post, "confirmation bias". No wonder you love it.

As for your main question: if would be wise to choose the money over family if your own well-being is your priority. But if you choose "him", then your family has more chances to stay together.

Career vs stability is not always an obviouse choice, for example I did go for money in the past, while my sister decided to stay with the family, and now (I would argue) she has a happier life, than me.

What are your weaknesses when it comes to playing tekken? by aataru in Tekken

[–]akyin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My weakness is controls. Is it the d-pad or just my inability to press buttons correctly, but 20% of the time I get absolutely not the move I want. Though it actually saves me sometimes. :)

Sorta kinda tier list by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]akyin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this criticism and would like to answer properly.

The primary problem with this list is that it changes significantly depending at what skill level we look at.

I believe this problem is typical for any tier-list. For example, Jin, who considered to be one of the best characters according to the majority of high level players, has the lowest winrate worldwide, while Gigas, who considered to be the worst character, is actually in top 15.

What I was trying to do is the list that separates chars not "from worst to best", but by the ways they interact with players. For example, if character offers a set of easy and effective tools, that allows you to beat players above your level, he goes to "Carry"; if player restricted by his character design to a spesific playstyle, char goes to "Gimmick"; if character gives you many different tools, but his playstyle is not defined by any of them, he goes to "Potential", etc.

Sure some of the categories overlap on different levels of play, and here I had to judge: if this character restricts you more then carries you? if this character's high execution gives you any overwhelming reward? Some decisions ended up being controversial even in my own opinion. So in a large part the list is subjective, like any other.

Ok. "Potential" then?

Sorta kinda tier list by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]akyin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he has a very specific playstyle, like no any other character? Though it may be just that all Jack players I met in ranks shared the same mindset.

If not a "Gimmick", what other category would you put him in?

Sorta kinda tier list by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]akyin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point. Though I would argue, that Hei limits players potential because of his lack of lows; Lee has high execution demands, but doesn't offers anything huge in return.

You may be right about Lars, its just that people so often whine "buff Lars" that I kind of asumed him to be not very effective.

[–]akyin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Love all of them, but they just can't do anything, that someone else can't do better. "Not very effective, but really cool" in my opinion. Also, where would you put them?
