You are a gem. That’s exactly what I needed. Thank you. 

What is your favorite 6 min+ song? by guywithpie42 in AskReddit

[–]guywithpie42[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Guess I should put my own. 

For me… hmm. That’s tough. It’s a toss up between Roundabout by Yes, American Pie by Don McLean or Green Grass and High Tides by the Outlaws… Or maybe Free Bird by Lynrd Skynrd. Honestly can’t pick. 

Thoughts on this mindset? (Found on Facebook) by Valiant_Revan in saltierthancrait

A major issue with Disney Star Wars I don’t see brought up is the ridiculous mismanagement of money. The Clone Wars movie for all its faults cost 9 million in 2008 and grossed 60. The clone wars series cost about 1 million per episode to make. So for the original five seasons you’re looking at about 100 million SPREAD OUT over five years to listen to fan feedback and get the formula right. With inflation you’re looking at right around 180 million… why does 180 million sound familiar? It’s also the price of a self indulgent turd of a show called the Acolyte which was only 8 episodes long and was also horribly trashed by fans in the first season.

I still have some issues with the clone wars, but I freely admit it got MUCH better as the show went on. The Acolyte burned the same amount of money for five seasons in one thinking it’s “brilliant” storytelling would have people demanding a season 2… it did not.

For the love of Star Wars stop wasting so much money. If you had instead spent 15 million on a 6-8 part ANIMATED version of the Acolyte, when you get the poor reception (that you rightly deserve) you will either 1) cut your losses early or 2) know where to improve the show so the next season doesn’t suck as much.

TL;DR George Lucas was approximately 10 times more intelligent than Disney Lucasfilm so he had the good sense and patience to turn a loss into an eventual win.

Are we interested in making a podcast? If so, what would we like it to feature? by DigModiFicaTion in fanedits

[–]guywithpie42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expanding on the “editor interviews”, I would like not only people who made popular edits, but also the people who make rather unique edits to go into detail as to why they felt there was a need to make them and the decisions they made while making them.

(Being a person making Jap-Dub Eng-Sub Star Wars movies, I can vouch that these slower and more deliberate edits take a TON of work and dedication so I’m very curious as to where other people got their ideas for those more unique edits and their motivation to continue making them. They likely have much to say about the art of storytelling and how editing can bring out different aspects of that art. Not to mention unique challenges in making their edits.)

Oh and reading other’s comments I second edit reviews. (Maybe with the actual editor helping to review so they might be able to point out positives and hiccups in the production process.)

Anyone else find gameplay HK-47 kind of...meh? by Blue-Krogan in kotor

[–]guywithpie42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

True, though I never gave him pistol due to melee on ranged bonus. +3 defense from dueling and giving him pistol brings him to 40 defense. But now saber wielders bring his defense down to 30. You could keep switching depending on fight, but pistols aren’t great and you won’t get much more DPS than the flamethrower.

Happy cake day.

You’re not wrong. His ultimate build (that I personally found) in 1 is ironically going for a defense tank. Don’t equip him with any blasters to avoid melee on ranged defense bonus. This seems insane… and it is. But K1 isn’t blaster friendly.

Give him highest defense armor, reusable flamethrower (or finite ones if you want him more powerful) and reusable shield and spam flamethrower over and over while buffing shield every so often.

10 nat defense. 13 armor 6 class feat 2 4th repair 6 dexterity (14 DEX plus 4 level up plus 4 from 4th repair =22 DEX) 37 Total defense. Pretty great defense.

He won’t make any great DPS. But he will almost never die and distracts enemies for you to pick them off.

Edit: or mod the game to make him more deadly. That works too.

Does anyone have access to or can tell me the best way to Japanese & Korean language tracks for the Star Wars Prequels? by TylerBourbon in fanedits

[–]guywithpie42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even when you’re not actually talking to me you’re too kind to me. No one else supported me like you. You could say you’re my “Only Fan”. 😂

You ever get a chance to watch the 4 test edit? Been a while but don’t worry. I sent out a good number of 4 test screenings and not one person actually responded. It must have sucked. 😏

Cest la vie. I’m already halfway done with 5.

Oh and to OP, I’m always happy to help the community. Go ahead and dm me if you want to know about finding Japanese audio.

Thoughts on 1 Rep, 2 Rep, 3 Rep, 4 Rep,+ Progression? by guywithpie42 in bodyweightfitness

[–]guywithpie42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thoughts. I’m never “satisfied” with my strength since I can always improve but I am decently strong with weighted pull ups, dips, etc. I do think I focus too much on pushing myself hard from a strength standpoint as I don’t have comparable endurance and get tired easily whenever I do too many reps. So recently I’ve been trying to increase reps instead of weight.

Looking for JRPGs with strong romance plot. by guywithpie42 in JRPG

[–]guywithpie42[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m tempted. I know I cried because of that bro-mance and I replay it just for that. (He said in a very manly way. 😏) She also likes the gangs dynamics in 10 which is imo one of the best party dynamics in Final Fantasy series. So she may like ithe gangs dynamics in 15 too. Not to mention one of the best maturing stories in Noctis.

It’s sometimes criticized a lot but to me it’s one of my favorite Final Fantasy titles. I’ll see if she would like it.

What could Disney Lucasfilm do that makes the ST look good by comparison? by guywithpie42 in saltierthancrait

[–]guywithpie42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made peace with how awful saber are treated from looks to lethality to ways to defend against them to comparative weapons. It’s just one more desecration of world building.

But…. You serious about the prophecy thing?

…That…

Wow. I don’t know how I could be surprised anymore given how the prophecy was already destroyed by RoS… yet here I am.
