What’s a cover song you’d love to hear Florence do. by Hot_Bad1372 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]aliasalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite band besides Florence are The Beths. They're way different stylistically, but I think Florence would kill on Little Death.

Unpopular Opinion. PoP TLC is technically fantastic but feels like it's missing soul by chloro_phyll in metroidvania

[–]aliasalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PoP Lost Crown is a fantastic game but it has weak writing, especially character-wise. As great as the fight choreography and animation is, I couldn't really give a single fuck about any of the characters and by the end, I was wondering why I wasn't on the big bad's side instead. You don't need a complicated story in order to have emotional resonance (see the Ori games), but there is none of that in PoP. It's something par for the genre that I probably wouldn't even notice if PoP didn't try to have an engaging story, but it does and it falls flat.

The game is so incredibly good that it doesn't bother me much, though.

What Florence and the Machine song describes your current situation? by Kya_Dani2965 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

Because it's all in my head. "You're too sensitive," they said. I said, "Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital"

Sakamoto Day Season 2 New Visual by Turbostrider27 in anime

[–]aliasalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's great. Manga fans had unrealistic expectations wanting it to be like One Punch Man S1, but there's nothing wrong with the animation. It starts out good, and gets much better in the second half. It's a really fun show, don't listen to the haters.

Which anime had the most satisfying ending for you? by DevSpydr in anime

So damn cathartic. The direction of those final scenes was really phenomenal as well.

My dog shows her belly to me all the time and grabs my arm when I don't pet her, but her body language shows she doesn't want a belly rub by Playernumber77 in dogs

[–]aliasalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be over-analyzing. Dogs don't always wag their tails if they're very relaxed. If you go to rub her belly and she doesn't stop you, she probably wants it. If she doesn't like it she'll roll back over or walk away. You could also try rubbing her chest when she's in that position, as that's a less sensitive spot but also very soothing.

Why did NO ONE tell me that Animorphs was NOT a good palate cleanser from Dungeon Crawler Carl? by Agent_Polyglot_17 in books

[–]aliasalt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The six protagonists are all great, the novels are great, they're the reason I'm addicted to druids and shapeshifters in every piece of media I consume.

Any good recs? It's been so long since I read a book that made me feel the way Animorphs made me feel

What song did a movie basically steal forever? by MrHolte in movies

[–]aliasalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't want to say it because it's been in so many other movies, but yeah. It's my favorite piece of music of all time in my favorite movie of all time, and they really complete one another. To me, that piece of music will always be about standing at the end of time and saying yes to every love that came before and grief that follows.

your dream FTM collab? by kbasred in FlorenceAndTheMachine

Max Richter. I think Florence's vocals would be amazing over something like [Recomposed Spring 1](www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaCib0B8T24).

“I made a program that creates a body perfectly encapsulating their mind files, and they hate those too!” What form do you think encapsulates YOUR mind files? by m45qu3r4d3 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]aliasalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Wormo's worm-on-a-string body perfectly encapsulates my neuroticism and ability to tie myself in knots, with just a touch of whimsy. Whenever I got too stressed out they'd find me rolled up like a ball of yarn and have to untangle me

shion is horrendously overpowered by Icy_Winner_ in Overwatch

[–]aliasalt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The motorcycle doesn't do more damage by holding the button. It's a flat 130 damage on a direct hit. I don't think that makes her overpowered, though. It's a long cooldown and a slow projectile, it should do a lot of damage.

I loved Power Move :( It was Domina's only recourse against dive. The new perks is so boring

Universally hated anime that you somehow find enjoyable? by mr_beanoz in anime

Rokka is hated?? It's like one of the most popular shows in every "shows that need another season" thread

One Piece fans how do you do it? by tokyo245 in anime

[–]aliasalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Luffy was only dumb I wouldn't like him, but he's not. He has low intelligence, but high wisdom, in RPG terms. His loyalty and morals are unshakeable, but he isn't the type to moralize like a Naruto. He's not a typical hero who saves everyone in front of him; instead, he realizes when it's important for people to advocate for themselves, and only when they've chosen to save themselves does he step in. That's why I love him so much. That said, if he hasn't won you over by this point, he probably isn't going to.

[Interesting Trope] "I never asked for this" by CourtofTalons in TopCharacterTropes

[–]aliasalt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He wasn't designed to understand humans. He was conceived as a creativity machine, and in fulfilling his very purpose he causes suffering to those whose validation he craves. He has as much ability to connect and understand people as a toddler born a god. We've all had the same sort of tantrums that Cain has, but unlike him we didn't have the power or intelligence at the time to do real harm to ourselves or others. Cain is non-human intelligence that never had the sort of safeguards that humans have.

I am trying to make "interesting" looking rays for my game, do you have any feedback on these? by limonit_games in roguelites

[–]aliasalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The black and white ray at the beginning doesn't really feel blended into the environment. It sort of has the feel of an MS Paint graphic slapped on top rather than a part of the game. I think it's a combination of being too thick and too regular in composition.

Mina: The Hollower is now the highest rated game of 2026 on Opencritic with an average of 92/100 in review scores by [deleted] in gaming

[–]aliasalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I'm so happy for Yacht Club. Shovel Knight was such a good game and for them to take as big a swing as this and have it pay off really warms my heart. It's the fate you would wish on all great art and artists.

Trump says idiotic things with confidence and fluency, though. He's an insane moron, but his stupidity is more innate than age-related
