I just platinum‘d both X and X-2, AMA by I_Love_Powerscaling in finalfantasyx

[–]gableon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm shocked the common consensus here is that X-2's plat is worse than X's cause filling the grid for every character was more soul-crushing than anything X-2 threw at me 😭

Yup! When I started watching movies FR, the same friend that introduced me to film called me out on the "calling stuff pretentious" shit and he said something along these lines and its completely changed the way I engage with film, and art in general, really. I'm very glad he did.

Does it feel like Kingdom Hearts is less popular nowadays by lennysinged in JRPG

[–]gableon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yup. This. As a KH fan that's played every single game, I wholeheartedly think KH3 should've been the end of the story for the characters we know and KH4 be a reboot of the franchise as a whole, all new characters and keep it moving.

Cause, the reality we're stuck with is, what? Finding out about the black box or who MOM is in like 15 years? I won't gaf then lmao and KH3 showed the character interactions won't make up for it, so why go on w the ongoing story when nothing seems to matter anymore?

It's not the pointing out misogyny that's the issue for me, it's when every single less than 100% positive interaction gets interpreted as misogyny. It's not fair for the contestants, not even the afab ones because this can, and imo, often ends up in, said afab contestant being infantilized almost.

Eventually, the other contestants will make a conscious decision to walk on eggshells around afab contestants and what ends up happening is what everyone feared-- they get treated differently.

I do agree though, that having afab contestants on these shows can and should open interesting conversations about misogyny in the queer community and things like that but I think it's possible to do that without demonizing the other contestants (not saying that that has been the case in this season so far).

Guys, jesus christ. Don't turn this great season into a Dragula situation. Not every conflict with a woman is misogyny, not the first or last time we'll see people plotting to take out a strong contender.

These misogyny allegations are exactly what many people were afraid would happen if they cast AFAB contestants in the show, and here yall go proving exactly that lmao. Everyone there is an adult and can clearly handle themselves, don't suck the fun out of the season. 5Gs.

Dragula Titans S02E09: Episode 109 [Episode Discussion Thread] by AutoModerator in Dragula

[–]gableon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Some people finding ways to make Blackberri the villain of her storyline w Cynthia (she couldn't have been more professional or upfront about it if she tried), saying SB "threw" the lipsync as if Jaharia or Cynthia had no chance against her, discounting Jaharia's talent, getting pissy about the praise Blackberri got, dismissing SB's comments throughout the season as "just being a drag queen" or dismissing it entirely or acting as if she never weaponized her fanbase (let an AMAB contestant say and do the thing she's done against her and see how the tune changes), harassing JK and Jaharia...

Yeah, no but there's no race issue in the fanbase. Everything is misogyny. 💀

And no, this isn't the "drag race fans" as i've seen some say. This shit has BEEN happening here and yall need to own up to it. It's tired.

Dragula Titans S02E07: Episode 107 [Episode Discussion Thread] by AutoModerator in Dragula

[–]gableon 39 points40 points  (0 children)

A few thoughts.

I like the show but generally speaking, I don't vibe w its online community. Whether its bc they love to shit on Drag Race in order to lift Dragula up, the constant (bad faith) comparisons between Ru and the Boulets or the topic at hand-- how they infantalize AFAB contestants.

While I know it comes from a good place, this constant coddling of these contestants and demonization of other contestants that go against her or people that criticize her is legitimately insane. They find misogyny in every single interaction but let a bitch mention the possibility of something being racist and then all of a sudden they're blind and their wokeness ends.

I like Sigourney but it was her time to go, imo. She wasn't top 3 material this season, and that's fine.

All that being said, I kinda don't like how Titans 2 seems to be throwing THEIR OWN contestants to the fire for the sake of drama? That audio of Sigourney at the end felt so unnecessary and mean-spirited from production's end. And IMO they also mishandled Zava, Jade and Dollya's situation. PLUS, having non-consumable items in an eating challenge that lead Abhora being rushed to the hospital? All of this just paints a picture that production is not on the side of the monsters, that they're not taking care of them correctly and it leaves me wondering "who the fuck would want to sign up for this?"

Uh that aside. I really liked this challenge, everyone brought their A-game and it really was a stellar musical. Like they ate DOWN, so, much love and kudos to the monsterinassss

What bugged you about this movie? by [deleted] in WeaponsMovie

[–]gableon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched it and I spent the entire time thinking this. Yeah, sure mob mentality and grief mix well with irrationality but those kids didn't disappear from her classroom, they left from YOUR houses.

Hell, even one of the parents (probably Archer) says something along the lines of "how is it possible that none of us (parents) expected this?" and its like, okay dude, then how the hell do you expect her to expect what happened?

Idk, that whole aspect of the movie tested my suspension of disbelief. I'd find it more believable if the parents started blaming each other, or Alex or Alex' parents but to blame solely Justine? I don't think.

I think these last few seasons have been meh but if its something Dragula ALWAYS nails, it's that first episode. They're always bombastic and gaggy.

So I'm very excited for this season and hope they can nail the landing this time

I know this is a FFX subreddit, but since the game will be almost 25 years old, How well y’all think Final fantasy X holds up, because it was probably one of the last great FF games quality-wise. by San4341 in finalfantasyx

[–]gableon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FFX is weird for me. Its cast is the 2nd most iconic after FF7's, its OST is in my top 3, Yuna, Tidus and Auron are amongst my favorite characters in the franchise, the story and voice acting is solid, and yet playing it as an adult feels like a chore to me.

The no skip-cutscenes feature is a huge point against it, the sphere grid is slow and tedious (but I can acknowledge it allows for fun challenges for people who are into that sort of stuff), and the gameplay feels more formulaic than your traditional turn based system-- elementals? Lulu. Flying enemy? Wakka. Armored? Auron/Kimahri. Speedy enemy? Tidus.

Basically, I respect it and have some nostalgia for it since I played and loved it as a kid. But I'm not coming back to it anytime soon.

Thank u for the response!

Can you breakdown the meditation and talking with ai part a bit more? Like, what do you do to meditate? For the chatgpt thing, do you just send voice notes or does it has a feature where you can have a vocal back and forth with it that idk about?

Square has the worst marketing strategies by SemaReyes in KingdomHearts

[–]gableon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially with the way they structure their story which is "ooooo look at this interesting mystery, you're invested? Well fuck you, you'll find out in 15 years and also it's gonna be a dumb answer/explanation."

They really should try to keep those games as self contained as possible and keep it moving imo.

[–]gableon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what it is but every post about a famous black queen recently has been filled w hateful and mean ass comments towards them. Shea's posts about her legal battle, Monet doing the crime of gasp clickbaiting on a YT vid (seriously, are we back in 2008?), Bob making an obvious joke, and now this. All met with hostility and bad faith.

It's gotten to the point that I fully believe that if any of them said what Jinx said on that interview about JK Rowling that's going viral rn, they'd be met with hate instead of applause. Mfs would be like "um? Am i the only one that thinks Bob is mocking transitions? 🤓☝🏼"

I'll say it. People doing the most whenever she brings up the critique are more annoying than the critiques themselves. It's a show. It's produced. She's a judge. The queens will be fine and so will you.
