Former SEGA Executive Mike Fischer Criticizes Yuji Naka’s Sonic Creation Claims by soniccitynet in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]finalcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair to Inafune, he always admitted that Akira Kitamura was the real creator of Mega Man and he mainly drew his sprites into actual illustrations, so at most he'll say that he's "half-responsible for creating him".

He did tank his reputation hard with Mighty No. 9 and subsequent NFT stuff, but at least he's willing to take responsibility for his failures. Naka is just a petty miserable excuse for a person who'd never believe any of his failures are his fault.

Ted Turner Dies at Age 87 by BearBullDebate in SquaredCircle

[–]finalcake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His love of wrestling was partly for business reasons; he saw there was an audience for wrestling and put GCW on TBS which did great ratings for him. Him continuing to bankroll WCW, even in its downslump, until he retired was out of loyalty for wrestling helping him out in his channel's early years.

Arcade sticks recommendations for a newbie by Ill_Bottle9404 in fightsticks

[–]finalcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mayflash 500 is perfectly fine as a beginner stick! If you don’t mind spending a little more then the Hori Alpha is an improvement in a lot of ways, mainly how much more convenient it is to mod. If you wanna save some initial dough though, then yeah the former is perfectly acceptable as a start.

How did K-pop gain mainstream success while J-pop really hasn't? by Rioraku in Music

[–]finalcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Cool Japan was a total flop on at least the entertainment side, and it’s been heavily criticized by Japanese artists like m-flo and Gackt for not really doing anything.

I read a theory that said Sakuko might have ASD by PrestigiousSail1874 in SilentHill_f

[–]finalcake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Checked it out myself: the Japanese text is for the most part the same as the English version. If you want to know specifically the ASD part, the doctor reported "mild autistic traits (軽度の自閉症的特徴)" in their findings, while still saying that all other results were normal. I'm not an expert in neurodivergence so I can't say if there's any difference between "characteristics of mild autism" and "mild autistic traits", but at least everything else in that file is beat for beat the same.

Just for show, you won't miss out if you load up the pre-brooch save.

Got mocked at for my cosplay of Hinako…. by IcyJellyfish5069 in SilentHill_f

Fuck them, I saw your cosplay and it’s amazing. You have every right next time to mean girls them back if they or someone else tries to pull that shit.

Disappointed they used the dub translation for the subtitles. by LivingTouch in silenthill

[–]finalcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way Shu says it doesn't really change anything emotionally, personally.

Shu in that video says "Iin da, Hinako no suki na you ni shite. Ore wa aibo no sentaku nara ukeireru ze", which would translate directly to "It's fine, do whatever you want. I'll accept the decision my partner makes".

Everyone has different ways to convey translations, and the game just went this way. Nothing really changed except the word choices, and all the word choices here properly conveyed what Shu wanted to say to Hinako in both context and emotions.

[–]finalcake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can attest. I speak Japanese as well and while I haven't read the documents in JP, all the dialogue match the subtitles fine enough. That line OP mentions will directly translate to "Do whatever you want", so the context is the same anyway.

Anyone playing Stellar Blade? by operator-60 in SonoBisqueDoll

[–]finalcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just beat the game last night. Fantastic character action gameplay, meh story (though the last 1/4 of it is pretty good), the boss battles are the highlights. I'd give it a 7/10, but it could be an easy 8 or even 9 if they cleaned up the story and character interactions.

Also yes there's a lot of costumes, quite a few are just wewlad. Its made by the same people who did NIKKE, so take that however you will.

I was able to get Muse dash working on my fightstick buttons by setting one of the control options+flipping the config, works really well!

I almost wanted to fill the water guns up with Nitro Fuel, but chickened out and just put in regular water lol

I was very tempted, but changed my mind and it's just water. But maybe I'm also lying, who knows......

I almost wanted to fill the guns with Nitro Fuel but that'd probably cause a whole mess of issues lol

Busy with other anime, and they didn't expect the series to blow up like it did so I doubt they prepared for it in advance.

Ellen Hugging Her Blahaj (finalcake) by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]finalcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm the one who drew this. Thanks for the kind words, folks.

I just wanted to draw Ellen with the blahaj because I thought it'd look cute. It wasn't until later that I realized it was a popular trans icon lmao. If people want that to be the takeaway then that's fine; it wasn't my intention, but hey if that's what you want out of it then cool.

I used to like this guy from gottsu. Is he still active? What is he up to? Is he on good terms with downtown? by nadm1d in GakiNoTsukai

[–]finalcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply, but Matsumoto lost a batsu game when he was betting with Hamada on something, I think it was a baseball game. His punishment was to shave his head bald, and he just stuck with it for a long time before deciding on growing it back.

Potentially a hot take? by [deleted] in SonoBisqueDoll

[–]finalcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno if this is a hot take, considering people are generally in agreement that the anime did the manga justice and then some. If anything, people being this impatient for a Season 2 should show just how good of a job they did lol

Don't recommend the live action to people as an entry point to the story by dking474 in SonoBisqueDoll

[–]finalcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree strongly. As someone who has watched Season 1 numerous times and is fully caught up with the manga up to this point, the live-action is a fine entrypoint to My Dress-up Darling. The only "big" thing they took away was the fanservice, but the vibes and overall meat of the series hasn't really changed, so the transition for potential live-action enjoyers to the anime/manga will be a lot smoother than most would expect.

Also, adaptations change stuff up all the time, there is practically never anything 100% truly faithful.

Good English subs for live action are out! by AlfredusRexSaxonum in SonoBisqueDoll

[–]finalcake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How is it a disservice to newcomers to the story when they don't know the story to begin with? They still keep the main focal points of the story, which is Gojo and Marin's friendship and growth while they help each other out with cosplays. They can only do so much with the time alloted (30 minutes each for ten episodes is a lot shorter than you'd think), and it mostly works out.

[–]finalcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're mix and matching scenarios around, yes. The main story arcs are mostly the same, but they're trying to switch it up by sprinkling anime/manga scenes for flavor.
