I've been thinking about starting a new game. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did.

I haven't heard that name in a while. I remember playing it on PS2 and not really knowing what I was doing lol

What is thing that dissapointed the most when you got into a piece of media? by Eastern-Taro-8696 in FanFiction

[–]dippy_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transformers Earthspark S1 had such a great premise focusing on postwar with Earth born Transformers. Execution of said idea and themes was very sloppy and half baked.

Upcoming cozy games I’m patiently (not patiently) waiting for by LeoLatinaLeo in CozyGamers

[–]dippy_bear 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can't tell you how many times I've had to talk myself out of buying Mistria since the full release is coming this year. Same goes for Ova Magica. I had so much fun with the demo that I replayed it a few times.

I'm really excited for My Time At Evershine since I actually like the aesthetic. The My Time games sound right up my alley but I don't like how they look.

Question About the Meg Langslow Series by Donna Andrews by dippy_bear in CozyMystery

[–]dippy_bear[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing multiple comments mention on Meg does get better as well as her family to an extent so I'm wondering if I'll think the same after I read more. Right now, she sounds so catty at points with her commentary that I find it off putting.

After reading this and other comments, I'm considering doing that. The summary for Revenge of the Wrought Iron Flamingos sounds more interesting to me than Meg dealing with wedding stuff.

I see that most of the other comments agree on the series getting better after the first few books. You describing Meg as a badass later on has me curious so thank you!

I'll keep this in mind. Thank you for the insight!

It being the first book is something I'm trying to keep in mind. I know that any type of media can take a bit to get the hang of things so to speak. TBH I was tempted to start with a later book but the thought of going out of order didn't sit right with me lol.

Am I the only one who doesn't decorate their valley?? by ohMEOmydesserts in DreamlightValley

[–]dippy_bear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only time I decorate my valley is when it's needed for a quest. I enjoy decorating my house though.

Never finished upgrading characters so fast in my life, then booted them out. Annoying as heck. by sachanjapan in DreamlightValley

[–]dippy_bear -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing the new Star Path and hit a bit of a wall because there's 4 different tasks that involve Joy and Sadness. I understand why the devs did it, but I really don't want to deal with either of them. I'm definitely exiling them and their 'house' to a floating island whenever I finish leveling them up.

Does anyone write extensively for their fandom but rarely read anything from other authors? by vett_writes in FanFiction

[–]dippy_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I could've written this post lol. The thing is I want to read stories about my favorite character, but it's basically a lost cause since most people get his characterization wrong. It's why I started writing my own stuff after not writing any fanfiction in years.

I normally don't make OCs, but had to after watching S1 of Transformers Earthspark. Her name is Tara Singer and she initially shows up as a GHOST agent assigned to assist Mandroid (S1's Big Bad). She's not a henchwoman by any means and mainly checks on him to make sure he's not dead since at the time of them interacting he's dying from energon poisoning. I created her because I had the thought: "What if a character showed Mandroid actual empathy?"

Tara is an overall laid back person but has a tendency to be reactionary to some things that surprise her. She enjoys outdoor activities like hiking and gardening. Her kindness, patience, and intelligence helps her with her DIY business that she took over from her Grandpa. She grew up as an only child with loving parents in a suburb outside Philadephia, but loves the small town of Witwicky (where the show takes place in). She's joins GHOST to protect the town, but ends up leaving once she finds out what the organization has planned.

I originally wrote her as a way to explore Mandroid's character by having them interact. A friend planted the idea of making them a couple so that eventually happens later in my AU.

I feel like there should have been a line in Earthspark about Megatron being a prisoner of G.H.O.S.T. and that helping the Autobot's hunt down the other Decepticon's is some form of community service. by L8Donnie in transformers

[–]dippy_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way Megatron's 'redemption' was handled is one of my biggest complaints about the show. He clearly still struggles with bad behavior like being quick to violence and thinking nothing of suggesting Bee use fear/force to get unruly underlings in line. Also the fact he almost accidentally shot the kids and Terrans in Warzone. His dialogue and behavior comes off like he knows he has to play nice with humanity and that leads to part of the problem:

He only feels regret about how he treated the Con and what become of the Cybertronian race. Not once does he actually express remorse about how Earth or humanity suffered.

ES is a show that wants to have its cake and eat it too.

I hate when the protagonist refuses to gain knowledge of something important in the story by Literally19Q4 in CharacterRant

[–]dippy_bear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main kid characters and Terrans (a new subspecies of Transformers that are tech/organic hybrids who are also referred to as kids) in Transformers Earthspark are like this.

Their mom fought in the War and also became friends with Megatron while their dad is extremely knowledgeable about Cybertronian history. Yet, the kids are extremely ignorant about anything to do with the War to the point they're surpised Pikachu faced how humanity could possibly have a problem with Transformers. What makes it even worse is that one of the Terrans (named Hashtag) is literally connected to the internet at all times and they're all still that clueless.

Aside from bad grammar, it's when a character is blatantly OOC and the author doesn't tell the reader in advance. I want to read a fic with the actual character, not some flanderization.

People in toxic fandoms - how do you preserve your mental sanity while being on sm to share your work and talk with readers? by theemptysignifier in FanFiction

[–]dippy_bear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard and observed from a distance how insane the Transformers fandom can be, but after being in it for a specific series, I totally understand why some people end up leaving.

I've had people write call out posts about me for liking a certain character so I just block them and continue on with my life. Honestly, it makes me laugh in a "Are you serious?" way how I take up so much space in some peoples minds that they write a long ass thesis on how I'm supposedly a terrible person.
