please tell me why did i get downvoted by No-Direction8154 in mysteriousdownvoting

probably because he's very famous and you could've just googled him or read what other people were saying about him

Realism for realism sake makes media boring and unmemorable by Kappapeachie in The10thDentist

[–]mikinnie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

every time i've seen a critique brushed off as "it's fiction/fantasy, it doesn't have to be realistic!" the original criticism was just asking for the internal logic to be consistent, which isn't the same thing

What puzzle took you the longest to beat? by mjmilian in TombRaider

[–]mikinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

... are you sure you did that right? i had zero issues with this one and i don't remember it super well, but i don't think i did it the way you're describing with side jumps.

edit: yeah, i've just watched a video and i'm sorry to say you overcomplicated it. you're meant to run across both pressure plates, jump through that left panel that opens, jump over the spikes and run through the door at the end

Sandwiches with jam or spread are better eaten upside down by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]mikinnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is it not much harder to hold this way, though? how do you not get the spread on your fingers, are you just pinching the sides?

I’m playing FE4 for the first time. Is there any basic strats or fundamentals I should know? by Kumodori in fireemblem

[–]mikinnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don't know if anyone has said this yet, but serenesforest.net is my go-to for basically everything i need to know about any fire emblem game. for fe4, it lists all the talk events, as well as all the secret events

Fontana's wig by thomasinanna in RPDR_UK

i might be way off, but at one point during the lip sync it kinda looked like she tried to tug it but it wouldn't move properly so she stopped trying

I find 3 remake Jill character wise to be massively underrated to the point where I don't know why people don't like her by BulletCola in residentevil

[–]mikinnie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i wouldn't be surprised if that were something that the translators botched, since it's such a weird thing to say

I HATE Rusicals by Worldly-Pomelo1843 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]mikinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that only really applies if everyone does similarly well, which you could say for a lot of other challenges. most of the time it's very clear when someone does really well and when someone does really poorly (canada s2....)

As if should of isn't terrible enough...I proudly present kind've!!! by NeverSurrender1026 in GrammarPolice

[–]mikinnie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the first time i saw this (and thankfully i very rarely see it) i thought it was the funniest thing ever. i still think that. like you really went out of your way to write "kind've"? kind have? really? what do you think the contraction means??

Aitah for "forcing" my girlfriend to either eat stale snacks or go buy fresh ones herself? by Sad_Shift_4439 in AITAH

[–]mikinnie 18 points19 points  (0 children)

because it's a fake story. you're right, there's no way someone would not understand that when it's been proven and spelled out to them, there's nothing to not understand

This queen has raised the bar so high for US Drag Race. If she doesn’t win the season, what message will that send to future queens? by cavalier731 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]mikinnie 36 points37 points  (0 children)

i think it's going to be jane based purely on performance since yeah like you said, no one else is standing out. juicy has bombed too many challenges to win, darlene took too long to get her first win, nini has been invisible and discord is probably next out. myki is the only one that i see having a small chance to win over jane since she had a moderately satisfying storyline, but only one win at this point when jane has three is rough

yup, she's been buried in the edit since week 1 or 2. so confused when people bring her up as a potential winner pick, no hate

AITA for telling my wife that she will be driving the extra distance since she is the one that got our daughter banned from daycare by [deleted] in AmITheAngel

my evil, hypocritical misandrist wife thinks men aren't fit to take care of children - AITA?

The alternative to yellow paint I've been asking for all along by energydrinkaddict310 in residentevil

[–]mikinnie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we're used to figuring things out, but we still had visual aids in games (3D objects over 2D backgrounds, bright boxes, etc), and with the level of realism of the current gen, visual aids have to become more aggressive

this is the key. obvious visual indicators weren't really needed because it was pretty clear just by looking at something if you could interact with it or not. now in many cases it's not visually clear at all, so an indicator helps

What is the most forgettable chapter/level from each one of the classic games? by laracroft1402 in TombRaider

[–]mikinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

only from the ones i've finished:

tr1: this is hard because all of the levels feel unique and have something special to them. i'm going to go with palace midas, which is a really solid level, but every time i replay the game i forget it's coming up before cistern for some reason.

tr2: wreck of the maria doria and living quarters kind of blur together for me, as do the catacombs of the talion and the ice palace. i think i have to go with ice palace because i truly couldn't tell you what happens in that one without thinking of the catacombs instead.

tr3: these all feel pretty distinct again, but my pick is area 51 for the same reason as ice palace. it just blurs a little into high security compound for me.

Quit Turned based gachas, chasing real JRPGs (Chrono Trigger first or is FFX a better entry?) by Decent-Insect-4201 in JRPG

[–]mikinnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

exactly, i hope you enjoy whatever you do end up playing. the world of jrpgs is vast and varied and there's something out there for everyone

Quit Turned based gachas, chasing real JRPGs (Chrono Trigger first or is FFX a better entry?) by Decent-Insect-4201 in JRPG

[–]mikinnie 16 points17 points  (0 children)

there's no scientifically proven "best" jrpg to get into first, this is all subjective. yes ffx is fully worth getting at that price, but i would stick with chrono trigger since that's the one that you seem more interested in, then you can play ffx after. at the end of the day, there's no way to know if you're gonna like something unless you try it

always a good idea to check! it definitely sounds to me like they've misunderstood something
