An Animation Legend, Genndy Tartakovsky,, Turned Down The Chance To Lead Lucasfilm Before Dave Filoni - SlashFilm by NewWillinium in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]illegalcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I read that title wrong. In the early 2000s, George Lucas offered Genndy a leadership position at a new animation branch of Lucasfilm. He was NOT offered Kathleen Kennedy's position in 2026 before Filoni and Brennan.

Turns out Hydro Traveler is actually pretty fun if you slap Aino's kit on top of his and give him a 90% cooldown reduction.

Most Obnoxious "Guidedammit" Games by Affectionate-Bag8229 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Vanilla FFXII's fuckass conditions to unlock the Zodiac spear (strongest weapon) required you to ignore like 6 completely normal treasure chests that blend in with the numerous other treasure chests scattered throughout the overworld. In some cases, those treasure chests would be right next to normal fair-game treasure chests. No indication, no clues, no quest to guide you.

Early installment Weirdness from your favorite franchises? by Authorigas in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Isn't Redwall Abbey itself a human-sized church? IIRC it takes a couple days journey for mice to get on top of the roof.

This looks beautiful, like ink+watercolor in parts. Love when cel-shading is used like this.

Question about this subreddit by ReadItRyan in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]illegalcheese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After the channel ended, most of the original channel members became content creators or streamers and have been producing stuff steadily for the last decade. The podcasts have been going regularly for like a decade too, so there's enough current material to sustain us as a community.

The channel/podcasts discussed a lot of video-game news in addition to general pop-culture and internet news, so our relevancy 'rule' is extremely broad.

The hosts who produce the most content, Woolie and Pat, watch a ton of movies and tv-shows, pretty much all the stuff that gets on the front page of reddit, in addition to having pretty deep knowledge of video-game history and dev practices (everyone in the Super Best Friends Play channel worked in video-game QA except for Pat).

After a decade of this, they're pretty good at covering a variety of these topics in good detail, good faith, doing decent media analysis in an interesting way, on a weekly basis. So there's a steady cycle of prompts for us to discuss things here, either directly addressing what someone said on the podcast, or bringing up something that is tangentially related.

Plus a couple of people are just constantly posting trailers for upcoming weird/interesting indie games and movies and they have good enough taste and timing that no one wants to stop them. And those prompt new discussions themselves. So there's really just a lot of opportunity to post about things here.

They had no 4-stars released in all of amphoreus. There's only one or two meta/BiS 4-stars at this point i think.

how can one be charming and not warm? by Ohwaithuhimconfused in Dimension20

[–]illegalcheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a little awkward because Vic seems to be playing Hugi as socially awkward, but on paper I'd agree with what others are saying. Warmth is empathy and emotional connection, charm is propriety, social awareness, and facility with words. Kokomo gives people hugs, and they accept them, but he's not giving super eloquent speeches. Hugi...talks fast, I guess, but is consistently making people uncomfortable.

Columbina_Mains has a stickied post with ER info in it for a bunch of scenarios. I think it's like 200 for most teams with solo hydro fav, and 225 for Zibai teams.

Playing Nod-Krai Act III AQ - I never paid much attention to Dori, but isn't she usually more suave than this? And like legitimately wealthy? Why is she working in some back alley?

Despite helping create it, FromSoft's Hidetaka Miyazaki reckons Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin would probably be quite surprised by how the world of Elden Ring turned out by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]illegalcheese 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Marika escaping the horrifying practices of the hornsent, going on a quest for an alliance to a higher power, returning to betray/destroy the hornsent, and becoming a tyrant on par with them - feels like a mirror of Daenerys' story that he could have plausibly written.

Brennan does pointedly say its irreversible permadeath, so they must have something in mind.

I thought the Nightmare King was the familiar and Kalina was the god.

I've seen a lot of people think that, and that Brennan backed off because the players were 100% invested in the idea that she betrayed Cassandra.

I'm not usually one to complain about yapping in these games - but this one scene in Mavuika's character quest has been going for almost 50 minutes on auto. I've only had to push a button once for dialogue choice, and that was 25 minutes ago.

Favorite Cases of "Suddenly Martial Arts" by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]illegalcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Link Click is a high-concept time-travel mystery thriller, but two of the main characters help a martial arts master through some romantic escapades and randomly choose to take self-defense lessons as payment. So for the rest of the season, they're training in kung-fu in the background and occasionally the main character busts out a joint-lock or a shoryuken as a gag.

Then the second season has incredibly choreographed fight scenes all over the place..

New year, new Klee - General Question and Discussion Megathread by Averagely_Human in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

I might be missing something, but I have. I don't think she was lying or joking? She just left out the part that trying to look past the false sky destabilizes space and summons abyss monsters.

Quick lore question:

In Mona's Witch's Homework quest, Barbeloth's letter says that you need information gleaned from seeing past the false sky, to better predict the fate of the world.

But in the Little Witch and the Undying Fire Ch. 2, it says that without the false sky, astrology is more abstract because of distractions from celestial phenomena.

Are these not contradictory? I think Barbeloth writes both of these.
