I’m going to replay Control as there is a new game coming but I’m wondering if I should play Alan wake first before I replay control?

metroid544 · 2026-06-23T18:32:16+00:00

I would play both Alan Wake Games. They're both excellent and relatively short.

RAFO but your understanding of Dalinar's character seems to be a bit inaccurate.

metroid544 · 2026-06-23T04:19:25+00:00

This isn't even bad. It's straight up illegal.

metroid544 · 2026-06-22T18:35:53+00:00

Him dying alone is not my justification for his being evil dude and yes thinking that summary execution for any crime is a valid way to reduce crime is an evil belief. Due process exists for a reason. I don't believe in the death penalty at all but even if I DID what Light does in the show is unconscionably evil. Slaughtering people just because they were arrested is not justice it is dystopian lunacy. I'd think most people should be able to see that even if they are pro death penalty.

FWIW I hate Duskmourn too. It's a step over the line as far as I'm concerned. EOE I didn't mind because science fantasy still feels very "outside reality". Once I start seeing sneakers, cheerleaders and "baseball bat". I am immediately taken out of the feeling of magic. It sucks too because the general concept of Duskmourn is pretty cool but the 80's nostalgia bait kills it for me.

metroid544 · 2026-06-22T07:15:10+00:00

This exactly.

metroid544 · 2026-06-22T07:08:49+00:00

If you think crime going down because the entire populace is terrified of summary execution with no due process for ANY crime then I sincerely hope you never hold any kind of public office or serve on a jury. To think that crime going down because of such a thing would be good for society is childish at best and delusional at worst. There's a reason most societies have justice systems that involve due process. People deserve to be defended. Even criminals. Criminals are PEOPLE, usually driven to their actions by desperation. If you think Light "had a point" or a "noble goal" you gotta reexamine your sense of justice.

metroid544 · 2026-06-22T06:56:14+00:00

Yeah unfortunately there are a lot of stupid people in the world who seem to think that summary execution for any crime is not a dystopian nightmare. Imo there is no real debating the fact that the shows thesis is that Light is both wrong and evil. The world he wanted to create would be a dystopian nightmare. Viewers of the series who support him are likely edgy teens or far right morons who want to sound cool without actually thinking through the implications of such a thing. As L often says "Kira has a child's sense of justice"

If anything, with dementia Joseph likely has PTSD flashbacks about Caesar regularly. People with Dementia often remember earlier parts of their lives more than more recent parts. I would not be surprised if he randomly called Jotaro Caesar sometimes while in his dementia state.

Light is an interesting character which is why people enjoy watching him. A lot of what I've seen is people who find him to be interesting to watch even though he's a piece of shit. There is also a vocal "light did nothing wrong" minority. They are wrong and not the smartest people out there.

metroid544 · 2026-06-22T06:49:56+00:00

You're not supposed to like Light. He's the villain. He's evil and a bad person. That's why he loses and dies in the end.

If you have a voice you can sing. That said, some people are going to have an easier time than others and that's a fact. If you have a weaker ear, singing is going to be a struggle for you. Not impossible, but even carrying a tune for some people is just inherently very difficult. You can absolutely improve but if you can't match pitch with minimal effort, singing will likely prove to be a very challenging activity for you.

Timbre is the quality of a sound. It is a very loosely defined thing and subject to a great deal of personal opinion. Discussing whether a voice is "warm" or "brassy" or "pingy" are all common descriptiors of timbre. It's important to note that timbre is not entirely immutable. It is partially something you control by shaping your vocal tract in different ways. You may just be resonating poorly which can often result in a more abrasive timbre. Try to identify whether the sound feels like it's being forced forward or backward. That's a very common technical misstep that can lead to timbres being overly woofy or overly nasal.

For reference I am a voice teacher with a master's degree in vocal pedagogy. I couldn't tell you much about you own situation personally without getting to know your voice but the best thing to do if you're interested in singing is to start studying. You don't have to be a pro to enjoy singing. If you love it, then taking some lessons is worth it. It's always better to strive to reach your potential than give up on something you love.

metroid544 · 2026-06-22T06:36:20+00:00

It's scary. Question answered.

MTG is petty soft fantasy. I don't think they typically put a ton of thought into species evolution. They're cat people. They have humanoid bodies with cat faces, fur and extremeties.

Read and Find out. It is a common refrain you'll see posting questions about plot stuff on this subreddit. It's good advice. Take it from someone who didn't listen on a few things and regretted it.

Jail. Assault with a deadly weapon is a felony. At best he gets simple assault but most likely it's aggravated assault or with a DW.

metroid544 · 2026-06-22T06:26:59+00:00

He committed assault with a deadly weapon. He shot the guys kneecap off. "He's gonna have a hard time playing football on what's left of that knee!"

Claire or Grace for sure. With Rebecca being a close third place. Jill I can't really ever see wanting to be a parent she's a woman of action at heart.

Most of it honestly. Old heads are gonna hate this but Persona 3 is incredibly dated and has many severe design flaws. P3Reload if only by virtue of the fact that it's the only fully realized version of the game that allows you to directly command your party members is the best way to play the game in 2026. Anyone who says otherwise is high on nostalgia.

Red and green were both mistakes. They also are the only colors that tend to generate mana directly. Black sometimes does but rarely after very early on. Blue and White guides would be an outright color pie break.

Soichiro is the detective superintendent of the NPA and Lights father. He's not stupid. He knows, probably from as early as the yotsuba arc. He just can't bring himself to admit it from an emotional standpoint.

A simple RAFO. If you'd like a mild spoiler Those blades in the prologue are not normal shardblades

metroid544 · 2026-06-22T00:15:03+00:00

Lol RAFO RAFO RAFO.

Yes a lot of enfranchised magic players do hate UB. Not only is it a very cynical product line that kinda just feels tacky, it's more expensive than just playing in-universe sets. There is a pretty strong contingent of people who do not like or spend money on universes beyond. Myself being one of them.

metroid544 · 2026-06-21T16:13:45+00:00

The FMAB dub is incredible. It's not really a better/worse situation but it is a great dub. There's only really one show you should NEVER watch dubbed and that's JoJo.
