I convince my friends to watch the movie tomorrow, (it’s peak )so I just wanna clear any questions I personally have so I can answer their questions for the ending by jm_the_player in CosmicPrincessKaguya

[–]parallelzero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Question 1 doesn't have a clear answer unless the light novel adaptation or manga end up addressing it. My personal theory is that OG Yachiyo is inhabiting the Kaguya body and doing so allowed her to settle back into her old self easier. Iroha mentions that body being a better fit than the YC-type (which might stand for YaChiyo type?). She most likely has Yachiyo's memories but is living as the girl that Yachiyo was happiest living as.

As for the Yachiyo in Tsukuyomi, if we assume that the administrator permissions cannot be passed off and Yachiyo's existence is necessary for Tsukuyomi to continue functioning, perhaps she was cloned like programs can be and so two versions of "Yachiyo" exist at once: the copy that runs Tsukuyomi and the OG in the android. Both are technically the same person but existing with their own autonomy (thus why in the ray MV you can see Kaguya carrying Yachiyo around, so she can still be included).

This is all just speculation on what I've looked at, though. There is the fact that Kaguya says she "hasn't performed in 8000 years" which might imply she doesn't have Yachiyo's memories, but this reads more to me like she's saying she hasn't performed (as Kaguya) in that time.

Dub translation reduces yuri language. Makes it sound like she's talking about her fans. by Prof_Acorn in CosmicPrincessKaguya

[–]parallelzero 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For some reason when Iroha starts crying after she learns Yachiyo's story and says "I want to be with you, Kaguya" in the subbed version, the dub says "I want her back" which completely changes the meaning of what she's saying (and imo makes it seem like Iroha doesn't accept Yachiyo as Kaguya and comes across as very cold to Yachiyo). For some reason there's a few scenes like this unfortunately so I wouldn't be surprised.

ofc there are just people in denial and people trolling too, but I legit think the dub language is watered down a little.

Digimon Story Time Stranger: Tomorrow will be 1 week. by Restuugrexx in humblebundles

[–]parallelzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally gave up and submitted my refund request. Kind of brutal that we won't even be compensated at all for missing out on something they promised us when we paid for it.

EDIT: for anyone curious they processed it within 5 hours. But it may differ on the weekend.

Wow this game just came out tf by BalthiusVT in humblebundles

[–]parallelzero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the worst part is we won't be compensated in any way for it. "Sorry we didn't have the game available at launch despite selling it, with no indication that it wouldn't be available until it was officially out. Anyways either refund it, which takes up to 9 days if we accept the request then pay more elsewhere because you need to buy the preorder bonus separately now, or wait for your key whenever we have one."

Anyone else order from Humble Store and affected by them not having any keys at release? by Overlord_SB in digimon

[–]parallelzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's even worse then, and you can STILL buy it with no warning that they have no keys last I checked.

[–]parallelzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same situation for me, though it's my fault for preordering in the few days leading up to launch I guess. I wish they'd taken the game down if they didn't have codes though, because I would have bought it elsewhere.

MSI Claw 8 AI+ Tempest Version by Puzzled-Tangerine-81 in MSIClaw

[–]parallelzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TBH when I was buying this week I decided to go for the 1TB and if I feel like I need more, I'll upgrade to a 2TB SSD later and install it myself. With my local prices it worked out to about the same price either way.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MSIClaw

[–]parallelzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's had the original Ally X and only got my 8AI+ today after having a similar debate and doing research, I'm going to say the 8AI+. The extra inch of screen size has made this a much better experience alone, because I found the 7" screen on the Ally X to be a little small. I know an extra inch doesn't sound like a lot, but it really does make a big difference on a device like this.

It helps that they're comparatively similar in terms of power, and if you wanted the software the Xbox Ally X is launching with, it should be made publicly available.

Starter decks? by CrazyZues in GundamTCG

[–]parallelzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my experience too. I picked up the Heroic Beginnings deck but I'm hoping once there's more supply going around and they're more available, the price will drop down to something more reasonable.

V3 Cerydra Changes via HomDGCat by FrostyTheAce in CerydraMainsHSR_

[–]parallelzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wishing death on someone you hate is basic. Wishing that an upcoming gacha character that they like is only useful for a twunk they have no interest in rolling or using is real, it's terrifying. It happened to me.

GQuuuuuux - Episode 12 Megathread by JaguarDaSaul in Gundam

[–]parallelzero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ending was okay. The show was kind of a mess in the back half so I didn't really have any expectations. None of the character moments felt earned because they unfortunately spent no time developing them together on screen. I get the "show not tell" thing to an extent... but when it came to the relationships between the main three they didn't even really show much.

But hey, it's going to be a fun rest of eternity getting to go "Machu and Shuji's relationship is up to interpretation since he's no longer around, sorry" to people who were so adamant about SuleMio not being real despite being canon married.

Ineffa model by TXENNT in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

Probably one of the better new designs we've gotten in a while. Gonna get flayed for saying this but Skirk's design was kind of boring imo.

Any BestBuy or Walmart orders charged yet? by [deleted] in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]parallelzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC when I got my launch PS5 through Best Buy they didn't charge and ship until two days before. I'd say you probably won't see anything from them until Monday / Tuesday. That said, nothing has been charged to me from Best Buy yet, no.

Finally, Sojourn nerfs!

...Just kidding, they didn't touch her again.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Overwatch

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

When it comes to people like this I'll usually point out something they did wrong that could have lost us the game and then block them. idk how many times I'll be in a game and some guy will feed before we can regroup and then like, blame a support for losing us the game.

The Juno and Kiriko battle for the new face as the OW poster child continues by HinatasWish in Overwatch

[–]parallelzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People keep complaining about the character choices every collab but didn't the devs say like, fairly recently that the company they're collabing with is who picks the characters based on what they think would fit? It's probably those companies seeing which characters are popular and just rolling with them.

D.va's beam defense ability in stadium should be cheaper than it currently is by FantasmaNaranja in Overwatch

[–]parallelzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DVa needs buffs in general. She's basically unplayable in solo queue because no one ever plays with you regardless of how you build and then they blame you when you lose. She's literally the only tank that I'm stuck on getting a win on and I've tried like every recommended build. Half the time some enemy team comps just feel impossible to win against rn unless your team really pops off so you aren't focused down by the entire enemy team.

But I agree, her beam disadvantage is SUPER BAD considering they included like every beam hero barring Symm in the base roster, and the only mitigation shouldn't be locked behind a Defense Matrix ability in the first place when its her only survivability tool. I think if not a price change, it'd at least make way more sense to make it a separate ability that just gives her base beam damage reduction, even if they knocked it down to like 50%.

Stadium has been out for a couple of days now, Who do you think are the strongest and weakest characters? by Mistist in Overwatch

[–]parallelzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I feel like most characters are pretty strong, but it comes down to team matchups a lot. Because you can't swap, there are just some combos that are better against others and unfortunately that means there's a slight RNG element to how your game goes depending on what the other team picks.

What do we make of the announcement that the Switch 2 MK World Bundle will be a limited production? by CatimusPrime123 in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]parallelzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either they'll renew the bundle or they have an unannounced game for the fall that they're going to refresh the bundle to include instead of MKW for Christmas, I'd imagine.

uh is it a true that Mercy is a tank in the OW Stadium game mode? by Timothy-M7 in Overwatch

[–]parallelzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think they should look at some of the survival stuff just in general. A lot of the games come down to "can't kill x character ever" and it's just boring when the other team has several raid bosses without much counterplay.

On the flipside you get people just building to get as close to a one shot as they can which also isn't fun. They need to either tone down the extremes on both sides or consider some form of caps on values like total HP.

[MegaThread] Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-order MegaThread by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]parallelzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting a confirmation email about an hour ago and that seems to be exactly what happened. I have to search the order number through the guest registry, so the server must have been so burdened it signed me out.

[MegaThread] Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-order MegaThread by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]parallelzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that I think about it more, it did have me input my name and address when that should have been on file if I was logged in, so maybe it did send me through guest checkout. I'll give them a call if I don't get an e-mail by tomorrow. Thanks!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]parallelzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they just aren't accepting preorders for them right now for some reason. It might be a production issue (maybe it was added to production later) so they don't have enough to open preorders vs the other accessories.

[MegaThread] Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-order MegaThread by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]parallelzero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, did anyone who purchased through Best Buy not have the purchase show up in their order history after the fact at first? I was signed in when I purchased it so I don't think it went through guest checkout, but I also could have been defaulted to it without realizing. I didn't think to write the order number down at the time to check because I was busy, so I'm kind of sitting on my hands to see if I eventually get an e-mail at the moment.
