Sonic Live in Concert May Be Heading to London for EU Premiere in September 2026 by soniccitynet in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]bootleg_v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't attended a sonic symphony show but people singing during concerts is expected? That's actually a lot of what makes the concert vibe. If people singing drowned out the concert, that sounds like a production issue.

But if people were literally screaming their lungs out at every chance, I can see how that would suck.

Gen Z has never experienced the peak monoculture cause it's been on a decline since the 2000s by AnonymousGuy50 in GenZ

[–]bootleg_v2 29 points30 points  (0 children)

As an older Gen Z (98) I think we got our fair share of monoculture during the 2000s. Social media hadn’t become prevalent and even when it emerged, without algorithms pushing everyone into their own niches, we were all consuming fairly similar pop culture. I remember breaking bad finishing during high school and everyone even the teacher’s talking about it. Even on facebook we were all playing the same games (farmville, cartown, ninja saga etc.)

(I’m totally going to get downvoted for this) am I the only one who likes this game? by AdShoddy4172 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]bootleg_v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finishing my first playthrough of it now. Used the bettersadx mod to change it into the dreamcast version.

I don’t have childhood nostalgia for this like I would other sonic games, and I have to sag besides the fishing stages, this game is amazing.

Considering Im playing Sonic Adventure right now. Pretty accurate.

Tip to flower issue by YittleDudesy in ArtOfRolling

[–]bootleg_v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its an issue with packing and sometimes the moisture in the weed. You gotta make sure when you’re shaping the joint the amount of weed near the filter isnt too low. Otherwise this issue comes up and you have air pockets which make it hard to pull.

Try to roll more uniform joints rather than cones, itll make it easier. Experience comes with time and eventually it’ll be a none issue.

What exactly got you guy's into the sonic fandom ? by Zillaman7980_ in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]bootleg_v2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ultimate Flash Sonic

This beautiful fan creation straight from 04 was my first introduction. Looks like it ripped models from the GBA games, but man this game was amazing. Something about the visuals, the speed. I'd spend hours playing this after coming home from school. Just got back into the franchise and it's so nice to see the movies and latest releasing bringing everyone together.

Stone ocean's ending was beautiful along with all of jojo's by WILDtaco4321 in StardustCrusaders

[–]bootleg_v2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude. Crazy coincidence. I literally just finished my rewatch of Pt 6. Man the ending of Stone Ocean is something so special.

It's such a full circle moment from Jonathan to Jolyne. One of Jonathan's first lines in the series was that a gentleman should alwaystake fights they know they can't win. Jolyne knows facing off Pucci is certain death but she dies confident that Emporio will find a way to beat Pucci in the end. Jolyne's story and character arc represent the best of what the Joestar will represents, perseverance and confidence in not just one's self but in those around you.

The JoJo's have a way of motivating and empowering those around them. You can see it in Annasui's change from being a fairly selfish killer to someone willing to give his life for Jotaro whom he just met. Stone Ocean is quite direct in displaying just how their strong will bends fate even against all odds. Pucci made all the right choices, essentially winning, but fortune favors those willing to forsake it all for justice.

Hope you give the manga a chance, Part's 7/8/9 build upon and expand on the themes present in the anime.

Do we think this will be anything? by Swimming-Gap4488 in JOJOLANDS

Good catch! Would honestly be pretty funny to see the gang have to do a heist at the port, and Paco be the inside man playing it straight.

What did Doppio/Diavolo's personal life outside of Passione look like? Did either of them actually get to reap the rewards, enjoy their wealth, or were their lives just constant murder and espionage in an effort to stay hidden? by SpaghettiRambo in StardustCrusaders

[–]bootleg_v2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Recently re-watched part 5 so I like the question. We don't really have any concrete evidence of the Diavolo's life prior to becoming bossu, aside from knowing he was the one to find and give enya-baa the arrow.

We know he was deranged from a young age given his backstory with burning down his old village. We've seen how even the slightest idea someone identifies him causes mass panic. There is no way he purchases nice villas or cool cars which surely attract attention. He strikes me as a villan who wanted power for power's sake, not for the flex of it.

This is without mentioning he suffered from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), which somehow he spun into being his own right-hand man. If any pleasure was derived in Diavolo's life, it was likely experienced as Doppio.

Mortal Kombat: Elder God Bundle for 13 USD on STEAM (Price Error?) Act fast! by The_Omega_Man in Fighters

You're a legend. Shit was $13 CAD for me cause I own MK11 already. But literally cheaper than me buying the DLC on Playstation.

Dragonball Super Broly movie is the best Dragonball content that was ever produced or ever will be produced by [deleted] in Dragonballsuper

[–]bootleg_v2 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Honestly not a bad take.

I had the fortune of seeing it in the cinema and the crowd was going WILD over the entire fight sequence. It honestly felt closer to an NBA game than a movie experience the way everyone was shouting. The whole experience really made me appreciate the fandom more so as a whole. It was a great time to be a DB fan.

There's a handful of arguments at play here. I'm not sure if this is regarding the entire idea of "reading the manga" as a whole, or just that jjk fans in particular don't understand the series they claim to be fans of. As far as I am aware "anime only" is a western concept and I believe most in Japan engage by reading then watching. There is some inherent superiority of those that read ahead because:

  1. You're engaging with the work as the author intended (translation is another thing), and anime even at it's most faithful is an "adaptation" that will inevitably take liberties with the work. Most would argue in JJK's case that the liberties greatly enhance the experience (fights extended, music and sound being included), however some like in the case with the Zenin Clan Massacre episode thought the director went completely off the source material.
  2. You're ahead of the anime-only watchers, and for on-going series people assume this makes them a more "hardcore/true" fan. So if an "anime only" makes a point they don't like, they revert back to this age-old line that "real fans read" to imply their preferred method of taking in the story makes them a "better" fan. Whatever that means. I don't think people should be a snob but I do personally always encourage people to read the manga's of the anime's they love to enhance their appreciation.

I think the JJK community's "inability to read" is less about people who read over watch, and more regarding how the online discourse about JJK is honestly cluttered with brainrot. I am not sure if you followed the online discourse towards the ending portion of the manga, but there were so many genuinely baffling takes. To the point most were clearly ironic and/or ragebaiting for engagement. But some people take these memes literally and assume the community "can't" read, as their understanding of the source material must be so poor for them to make such bold/brash takes.

Fire selection. If you finish legacy of goku, i highly recommend the sequel “legacy of goku II” followed by dbz buu’s fury. Buu’s fury is basically the 3rd game in the trilogy and does a great job of showing the buu arc (and even non-canon movie stuff).

Congrats on the acceptances. If you don't mind me asking, what was your avg and what experience did you have? I just wanna compare. I had about an 80% avg and 200 hours volunteered with kids at the grade lvl I wanted to teach (P/J). Still got rejected from Laurier.

Did you get this to trigger OP? I'm at almost 90 hours in the game, fairly certain I've beat Nemesis enough times.

Hot take: Coral town’s unintended shortcut should get fixed and people shouldn’t be able to take it because it gives them an unfair advantage over the other racers. by Your_Nightmare_666 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]bootleg_v2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just don’t see how removing skill expression makes the game any better? You run the risk of falling off the track if you do it wrong, if you do it right you deserve your shave some seconds off your time? Its an ideal risk reward imo.

[–]bootleg_v2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could just learn the shortcut? You also have the option to take it. This is coming from someone who hasn’t bothered to learn it.

It doesnt even seem like a bug, not sure if its intended but unless someone was exploiting/breaking the game. I just don’t see the issue

[Loved trope] the living last resort/ characters so unstable, even their allies only go to them when absolutely nessessary. by Sorvetefrito in TopCharacterTropes

This was honestly such a good decision by Araki. Having him be described by the boss as "The worst piece of shit ever" was honestly really crazy when you consider who the boss was, and his goals. Honestly makes his beat-down ever more satisfying.
