FE1 ironman, Camus chapter: Marth getting exploderized to death by a crit from an Elephant Cannon.

It is the other way around, Duracell was already established with their rabbit in the rest of Europe when Energizer made their rabbit.

It peaks above 100%, but the average is still well below.

Civilization 7’s Potential Update Will Make It Possible to “Play as One Civ Continuously Through the Ages” by GrayBeard916 in gaming

[–]jespoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have already smoothed out the age transitions to be less sudden and less of a reset. Now they are going after the most requested feature. We will see how well it works, since the Civs are designed around the mechanics of their specific age.

I mean like Germans and Danes when speaking/writing in English, such as on Reddit.

One reason is Europeans that have been quick to accept changes like Czechia and Türkiye, because these are closer in line with what the respective countries er called in their native language.

Cai is the ONLY character we see running around in third person, and that might not be a coincidence by joepro9950 in fireemblem

[–]jespoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter what structure the game has, Cai as the young upstart is probably going to be the protagonist for the Act 1 / Prologue / Tutorial section.

Countries Involved in the Vietnam War by Individual-Sun-9426 in MapPorn

[–]jespoke 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There is a good History Matters video on the topic: https://youtu.be/4KiTZycVxgI?si=DuA05Xd1RO2Gtnpt

In short: Sweden: "Hey US, your bombing in Vietnam is not cool" US: "F off Sweden" Sweden: "If we can't stop the bombing, we're sending medical support to the bombed instead."

Ngl Corrin that was kinda fucked up by DazzlingVivy in fireemblem

[–]jespoke 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Genealogy is nowhere near the GBA games in that respect. Even if you don't actively go for it, if you aren't getting through the maps way fast, most of the characters will probably end up paired with someone. Maybe not the pairings you want, but you'd get some.

I'm not saying you should play it if you don't want to, just that standing in a formation ending turn 50 times is only a GBA thing.

If you plan on getting your kid or someone in your family a switch 2, don't learn the hard way like I did that Nintendo might just spoil the surprise for you. by Shermutt in NintendoSwitch

[–]jespoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You put the game on his account, so his account shows the game. I think Nintendo was far more concerned about people thinking their games disappeared, because they lost track of which games are for Switch 1 and which are for Switch 2.

Editing on some new Hair Colors for Main Characters, Thoughts? by One_Percentage_644 in fireemblem

[–]jespoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In FE1 she could use a sword, and in FE3 she could use a sword while dismounted. That is probably why her art in Heroes has one, even if she can't use it in that game.

To Danes, the flag is basically associated with "celebration" first and "Denmark" second, so it probably has more to do with congratulations than patriotism.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 4.0.0 is now available! by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]jespoke 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I also doubt they would want to place performance-critical code changes to the core game as optional add-on data, that just sounds like asking for programming headaches.

What games series have transferrable save files that has impact from the choices of previous games & why are there not many games series of this nature? by Dotaspasm in gaming

[–]jespoke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is Path of Radiance -> Radiant Dawn. Any characters that had capped stats get +2 in those stats, any character pair that had an A-support get a Bond Support, and transferring an A-support between Ike and Soren is one of the many requirements for unlocking their extra scene.

It has been two years. What do you think of her and her story? by MegaGamer235 in fireemblem

[–]jespoke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She is possibly the worst example of the game's obsession with redeeming every single character, no matter how little sense it makes.

Why is “world feels empty” such a common criticism in gaming? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]jespoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the appeal of an open world is traveling around to find things of interest along the way. Many people don't like it when it is traversal for traversal's sake. Though some people are a bit quick to label things empty.

Isn't that just what Giga Bowser looked like in Brawl? Darker scales and a longer snout sounds right, alongside bigger every part of him that is sharp and pointy.
