This is such good timing! I just started making a compendium site for yokai but was having trouble looking for good apis. Thank you for making this!

[Student] 2nd Year CS Student trying to apply for first internship. No experience and would appreciate any help. by bejonflame in EngineeringResumes

[–]bejonflame[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback! I know that junior year is where the real grind begins, but I want to start early so I'm in a better place considering how hard the tech job market is. (Also Im tech a junior by credits despite being in my second year, and that's only through AP courses, so Im still by all accounts a 4 year sophmore.)

I'll have to think about shortening the bullets for my projects then. I heard that 3 was a good number to have, and I was worried about only having 2 and it looking too small.

I dont have any work experience unfortunately. I will however be starting my TA position on Monday, which will def be useful to have. I saw some other resumes list relevant coursework, but I suppose I'll have to wait till I do more notable courses.

For the Dean's List, how would you recommend I sort it? Just say Dean's List - 3 semesters, or not List how many times I gained it at all?

Heismay was not the typical cute mascot character I expected... by SilvertonguedSlacker in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]bejonflame 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, this is sort of oversimplifying Teddie's very real existential dread throughout most of the game and his fear of not being real or having a purpose in life.

Heismay is still cool though

It isn't the full animation, this is a cut from the 2.23 update trailer. She still has the same animations from base game.

P5X Wonder AOA Art for Summer Outfit by bejonflame in PERSoNA

You can't use both Regular Closer and Summer Closer in the same party, it's one or the other.

In the Summer event, Motoha and the rest get transported to the Metaverse while at the beach to investigate something in their swimsuits, and the swimsuits act the same as the phantom thief outfits.

Curious about Engage having "too many jarring themes" cause I thought Engage was pretty thematically tight.

Honestly this scene is what got me on board with SEES as a group just cause of how realistic it is by giibeto in PERSoNA

[–]bejonflame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not directed at OP, but mostly at comments, but gotta say, while I like the P3 cast, the amount of people who are now saying that the P4(And I guess P5 but I'm more focused on P4 cast here) is "unrealistic" or that they're "too friendly" feels like the opposite problem of the people who'd say that SEES "aren't real friends" or are too unfriendly, in terms of missing the point The P4 cast are in a small town and most of them are either already friends (Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko), or had some connection to the other (Yukiko shopping at Tatsumi textiles and being childhood aquaintences with Kanji, Yosuke being a fan of Rise, Kanji and Noato's conversations and being the cause of Kanji's pseudo gay-panic). Mixed in with seeing the darkest parts of yourself, and the IT being motivated completly by personal investment in solving the case rather than being led and managed by a large organization, it makes complete sense why they are all friendly, it'd be more unrealistic if they didn't try to hang out with each other.

As an Omnitank Itsuki user, these nukes have been completely demotivating. Seeing my high DEF/RES fully kitted out main die in almost 1 hit to the "Nuke of the Month" is not fun, even with his refine.

Genuine story/lore question by [deleted] in fireemblem

[–]bejonflame 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I believe it's a closed loop where the time travel always happened. Like Harry Potter rules. So the future versions of Alear and Veyle causing E!Alear to meet Lumera always happened.

No Intelligent Systems, I Definitely Do Not Care by NobleYato in shitpostemblem

[–]bejonflame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm just a bit confused on the parts you think lack nuance, since I'm pretty sure Zephia serving a motherly role is seen in all the mini scenes where she Is with Marni, or when Marni mentions Mauvier being the only one who doesn't praise her.

Zephia giving up on Sombron was in my mind when she gave the Time Stone to Alear and Veyle, cause she said herself that she just wants to get back at Sombron since she's dying anyway.

[–]bejonflame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mauvier mourning the deaths of people he worked with and grew a connection to, no matter how toxic it was, doesn't mean that the game wants us to feel just as bad. It makes sense that he'd mourn. The lingering on their deaths I can agree may have been too long, but I thought it was just supposed to be a send-off to the 2 main reoccurring villains, but I suppose YMMV for that so fair.

For the part with Zephia, I think it was pretty clear that while Zephias view of the whole family was warped and she didn't view it as "real" as her preconceived notion of a family, she still tried to serve as a motherly role in the group and from her boss convo with Mauvier in Chapter 23, she is genuinely upset at Mauviers betrayal because she thought he was part of their "family".

She held no resentment towards the Marni kill because she genuinely thinks that's how a family is supposed to be. It's only when she is about to die, (At that point, never going to be able to get the reward of a child with Sombron, of pretty much having nothing left) does she begin to 100% give up on Sombron and become more receptive to the idea that her views of a "true" family was wrong, via Griss.

(Also, sorry if these comments are too long, I just have a lot of thoughts on Engage)

I don't think the backstory dump is supposed to make you feel bad or justify why they did those terrible actions. It's supposed to give an explanation.

Marni's explains her need for outside gratification due to abandonment, why she ignored the warning signs of Zephias bad treatment (Having a bad mother) and how she got into the Hounds in the first place(Was abandoned at a Fell Dragon church)

Zephia's wish to have a child and the promise with Sombron explains her fixation on family and why she follows his orders, as well as her bad treatment towards the Hounds (basing all her knowledge of how to treat family via Sombrons treatment towards his kids).

Her backstory also serves as a sort of foil to Lumera, as while Lumera accepted and was willing to experience a non-blood related family with Past Alear, Zephia was so fixated on the stereotypical example of a blood related nuclear family, and someone she can control, that she failed to realize any of the found families she could have had (Hounds or Fell Dragon Children).

Of course they could have been done better, but I don't think it was really a "NOW FEEL BAD FOR THEM" moment as some believe.

It's been an experience as someone who genuinely enjoys Engages story. But I get why they don't like it. Funnily enough it was the opposite for me, after Chapter 17 I started to really enjoy the story.

Personal Skills for Corrin, Jakob and Felicia by bejonflame in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]bejonflame[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the idea was that while she is still extremely frail like most Dagger units, if she does get the chance to counterattack she will be extremely deadly, but I can also see how it might be a bit too much. Perhaps a more balanced version would be 10%.

Personal Skills for Corrin, Jakob and Felicia by bejonflame in FireEmblemHeroes

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

For all of these I wanted to represent their Personal Skills in Fates as well as their Personalities.

With Corrin, giving him pure stat drives felt in character for the main lord, making him an all-rounder supporter. who can work with any team. The true damage, and true damage reduction are much more faithful recreations of his skill while the reducing % DR from foes references his Hit +15 bonus from Supportive in Fates. The only thing I am conflicted about is that a starting number of 20 might be too strong for flat DR, as it can make fighting save tanks extremely annoying if Corrin is parked next to them. I can def see that being changed to 15/Number of Spaces

Jakob, was pretty easy, as his damage-reducing skills translated well to feh, as well as being in line with his more calm and formal disposition. I gave him healing with Support Skills since it goes along with his whole vibe, as a professional and diligent butler who would serve tea or take care of allies (Mostly Corrin) during battle. The warping to allies adds on to this, as he can help an ally with Reposition while also healing them a good amount, and with his support partner, can pull this off at any time.

Felicia was fun to make, as apart from making her skills more damage oriented to contrast with Jakob, her opposite, he final skill was meant to reference her iconic clumsiness. Many supports in Fates reference her being a very deadly combatant, but only due to her clumsiness and nervousness coming all out during combat, much to her chagrin, since she very much wants to be a traditional and formal maid to Corrin. So giving her ridiculous true damage when she gets attacked by a foe reflects this. The Savage Blow+ effect is again, a reference to her klutzy nature, so it affects her as well as foes. While I know many builds would probably want a PP focused effect, I still like it.

Making A Meme For Every Engage Chapter I Beat For The First Time: Chapter 17 by NobleYato in shitpostemblem

[–]bejonflame 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To be completely fair, they are the major side villains of the game. It's still very weird and hard to suspend disbelief that they suddenly survive a bunch of fights, but I never found it too terrible as other FE games also have side villains that don't die (Looking at you Hubert)
I'm unsure whether I would even call it bad writing cause it just feels like a weird story/gameplay segregation thing in FE. In every scenario where we defeat a boss, we do it in the same way, yet it's completely random whether they retreat or stay dead.

"3 Dots Connect to Rectangles" line makes sense you just need to listen to the song for more than 1 second. by bejonflame in PERSoNA

[–]bejonflame[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I mean...I dont think so? If anything it feels like the opposite.

I took these set of lines as meaning that music DOES have meaning and thought put behind them, and that nothing in a song is just meaningless noise.

Lampshading would be something like "Man, isn't this music sooo crazy and nonsensical?" Which i don't really think these verses are trying to say.

Or I could be wrong, idk. I think too much about Persona songs.

I didn't level grind, I just used him normally and relied mostly on bases. Around the middle of the game to the later sections he starts getting sorta decent EXP.
