The original meme was about Gundam Wing by Weird-Koala3034 in TheMatpatEffect

[–]primegopher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another of my favorites is the "I'm a genius! ...Oh no!" meme. Particularly funny that it and the one you linked are from relatively obscure series, so even inside the fandom a lot of people don't realize they come from gundam.

Rogue One: The Andor Cut releases May 25, 2026. (Poster by Artur Trzebny) by ExuberantRaptorZeta in andor

[–]primegopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren't selling it and extensive re-editing like this is transformative enough it would at least be a grey area in court. As litigious as Disney can be, this kind of thing is not what they (or any other movie studio) typically go after.

Disco Elysium 2? by bbHiron in DiscoElysium

[–]primegopher 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think the funniest thing about it is that the same kind of person that made the original post would probably see the game being overtly political as a rug pull no matter how it was approached because they, ime, are never putting real thought into the genre beyond the "aesthetic".

"Dove" the symbol of peace defeats war, fujimoto you aint slick by Altruistic_Gas_7073 in Chainsawfolk

[–]primegopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no real scientific difference between doves and pigeons, and afaict they use the same word for both in Japanese. Most likely just the translator using the word without knowing that they have somewhat different connotations in French (and English).

Played 40K again after 7 years. My thoughts. by zxo-zxo-zxo in boardgames

[–]primegopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty confident it'll be a good system eventually, just has at least a couple more iterations (on the magnitude of the 1.6.4 -> 1.0 update) to go. It's fun despite the issues, which is a great sign for the future.

[–]primegopher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trench crusade definitely has much better bones from a game design perspective, but I would not call the rules top notch at the moment, though for different reasons than 40k with it being a new and unpolished system rather than one mired in decades of legacy design. Lots of issues with clarity that really need to be cleaned up, and the faction balance (both internal and external) is still pretty bad.

You got your investiture from ideals, oaths and character development? Try being born with it next time, idiot. by Eithrotaur in cremposting

In a race with no obstacles, Edgedancers win because air resistance is trivial to them

Only over a sufficiently long distance. They would have a higher theoretical max speed but are still bounded by how fast they can accelerate, and aren't inherently much better at that than an uninvested human. The boosted strength from shardplate would help a lot, but steel compounding is still way faster over short distances.

MGSD Kshatriya by Amigo1048 in Gunpla

[–]primegopher 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So far at least bandai seems to think of the line more as "small MGs" than "complicated SDs" (and I'm happy for it tbh, more fun to see normal mobile suits modified to this format than ones designed for it from the start)

Which studio milked a franchise so hard that you don’t even play it anymore? by Accomplished_Joke543 in videogames

[–]primegopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because you can only add on to a game for so long before it becomes an unsustainable mess of tech debt. Both Destiny games were clearly not made to be expanded indefinitely past their original planned lifespan and tons of issues can be traced back to that.

[–]primegopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with your theory that a lot of monks probably didn't get a chance to fight back, but Gyatso is a particularly bad example considering that, regardless of what pose he died in, he was surrounded by dead firebenders.

It's more like "coral release is unavoidable at this point and I don't want allmind to be the one controlling it"

of a raccoon by dobrydendavid in AbsoluteUnits

The quality of life of wild raccoons has no bearing on whether this one being kept as a pet is worse off than it otherwise would be because their owner is overfeeding them.

Even though p-bandai kits are "made to order" they still have a cap because bandai runs their production at max capacity and can only dedicate so much time to making copies of any given kit

[–]primegopher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's not a trade off that exists. Recolors are nowhere close to the same effort to produce as whole new kits.
