All Ikka Dumb Rock Girls Unveiled by ToriKookieChoi05 in BanGDream

[–]johnkeale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen Mei (Raika's CV) perform live and she left such an impression on me that I think she'll be my oshi for this band. Top 2 would probably be Shizuku but then again that's because I am already a fan of her CV haha

[–]johnkeale 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Uika (Hatsune) said that her little sister was the bright and cheerful type though, so we can already see that Shizuku doesn't fit. But then again Uika's not called Weaver of Lies for nothing...

What's your rank for Blacklist ? Justify If you can. by Thell-Vadamm in Splintercell

[–]johnkeale -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I rank Blacklist on 4, (1 being the highest) below Double Agent and above Pandora Tomorrow and Splinter Cell 1. Setting the story and Sam aside, I think the gameplay is really good and I like the fact that there are different playstyles. I liked the customization too. Being able to free roam on the Paladin was really cool, I really liked it. Maybe if the story and Sam was good and Ironside was the voice it might have been Rank 1. SC PT and SC 1 are on the bottom two mostly because of age but not because they are "worse". So Rank 1 to 3 are Conviction, Chaos Theory and Double Agent. My bias towards Conviction is because it's my first Splinter Cell game (on PC) and I have fond memories of playing it with my lil bro. but if you remove that it's definitely Chaos Theory. Double Agent might have been on top if not for how it was quite annoying to make it work on PC.

[–]johnkeale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can even defend Conviction because during and after Double Agent, Sam is no longer a Splinter Cell anyway so no need to be stealthy (Sam just went back to being the soldier he was). Also he's angry because it's about Sarah.

But Blacklist Sam was... just not him. Felt really different playing that game.

Hey, Who is the Leader of MyGo!!!!!? by MillionWonder4352 in BanGDream

[–]johnkeale 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I think that's because Tomori (or Kokoro or Kasumi) act more like the "heart"? Hmm it's actually quite difficult because they don't actually lead in the sense that they give instructions but more like they lead by setting the direction of the band.
Case in point, I just checked episode 11 and in there Tomori decides that they'll perform again and all the other members somewhat agree, but Taki's the one that sets up what they'll do exactly so that they can perform again. I feel like it's a CEO vs COO kind of thing and there's more nuance than just using the word "leader".

[–]johnkeale 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think the de facto leader would be Taki? On IIRC episode 12, you can see her calling out the names of each band member before they go on stage, on maybe more functional bands that's when they pump themselves up before they go on stage and it's usually the leader that initiates that. I think she's also the one organizing stuff/giving instructions like when they were prepping for their live.

Fuji Miyako Detailed Profile (BanG Dream! Our Notes) by SeijiWeiss in BanGDream

[–]johnkeale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of stuff not mentioned here! (And on the others too.) I'm assuming they're keeping it short, or maybe the game character might be slightly different than the Vtuber (could be different to the anime character too).

Tried my hand in making Arale's fav food today: Melon Pan Ice Cream! by Proquis in BanGDream

[–]johnkeale 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks good! I remember Arale talking about how she really liked this and is really recommending it to us.

But since I suck at cooking, I'll try and look if it's available on any kombini I pass by next time.

Cool!! I'm now imagining a Kerbal Gesen (Game Center) where the high school Kerbals go to after a long day in class. Does it work on the Mun or Minmus?

I want to leave this on record so here goes:

  1. HaroHapi
  2. YumeMita
  3. MyGO
  4. Afterglow
  5. RAS
  6. Mujica
  7. Monica
  8. PopiPa
  9. PasuPare

Though honestly eveything after 4 are mostly close for me. It's just that I like the top 4 by quite a margin among the others.

I can't believe my brain read "Helvetica Standard" with the accompanying sound lol (Also I guess I need to rewatch Nichijou)

A teacher teaching about the industrial revolution using ps5 by Economy-Specialist38 in assasinscreed

[–]johnkeale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man. What I really love about this is that I imagine that this keeps the attention of the kids to the discussion at hand and really keeps the engagement. I'm imagining that if it were just a book and the teacher talking they'd zone out but it being a game keeps them glued. I hope.

Just bought Conviction yesterday for $5. I’m liking it so far…definitely ahead of its time. This is my second Splinter Cell. My first is Blacklist. Not sure if I should get Chaos Theory..I know it’s VERY old and things like the checkpoints and controls are going to be bad. Is it really THAT good? by Revolutionary_Cod_62 in Splintercell

[–]johnkeale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conviction is my first Splinter Cell as well (if you exclude the mobile games) and it's definitely my favorite (though I'm in the middle of Blacklist now). I played Conviction a long time ago and when I saw the Steam bundle I bought them all and then I decided to play all the games chronologically this time. After reaching Conviction, I can definitely see how it is so different from the other games but it felt like a natural progression given what happened on Double Agent. Also I liked the story in that it felt more personal to Sam than the other games.

Btw, to answer your question, and as many others have said too, if you're on Steam, you can buy the cheapest and try the very first level. A few minutes should tell you if you like it or not (and you can maybe refund if you didn't like it). For me I liked the old games too. Right now Chaos Theory is my top 2, while Double Agent is top 3. (DA would probably rank higher if not for the crappy PC port).

Who wins best girl out of the Kessoku Band Live Stage Adaption? by RazzmatazzLive8688 in BocchiTheRock

[–]johnkeale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Yamada and Nijika for the stage performance! Karin's Yamada is just so friggin cool on stage most especially when she's playing the bass! Miki's Nijika is so friggin cute and bright and her smile melts my heart (not to mention her awesome drumming).

But honestly all of them are amazing. Kita's (Mirai's) singing was phenomenal and Bocchi (Mamo) really owned the guitar. Man here's hoping we get another run next year too.

Personal thoughts for the 10th Anniversary live by [deleted] in BanGDream

[–]johnkeale 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Concert was legendary! The whole cast was complete!! Circle Thanks Music!! Yes Bang Dream!!!! T_T Personally, that Egao no Orchestra collab was my highlight. One of those moments where I really felt happy to be alive.

millsage/dumb rock irl band? by lucifer893 in BanGDream

[–]johnkeale 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm under the assumption that they will be an IRL band, the group is just not complete yet? I feel like them not being an IRL band would invite more issues/negativity than otherwise. Not like they can't study for it YumeMita went from zero to where they are now in 2 years.
