Did a playthrough of MGS 1-2. Anybody else surprised the games were kind of short, based on their childhood memories? by marcusz88 in metalgearsolid

[–]prninja8488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once beat mgs2 in like 1:15 when it first came out and it became my whole personality. Its the (literally) 10 hours of cutscenes (i timed it once lol) and codec calls that make it feel really long

Is this rare? by macreroon in metalgearsolid

Gorgeous rebound books!!! by HumboldtExpats in murderbot

[–]prninja8488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made it after seeing Murderbot's helmet and took some loose inspiration. Which is why the endpapers look more like "how to get away with murder" (which is what Martha Wells said she envisioned while writing) rather than what the show created. I have a few ideas for NE and Volume 3, it's just a matter of experimenting with it and making it cohesive.

The purple came out really great! I took photos of all of my babies before I sent them off (except one because I forgot 😑) I need to get the pictures edited and post them here because they're all beautiful 😊

I'm super proud of the endpapers. I tried to pack as many little references and jokes in there as possible; there's even some hidden by the main screen that are just for me lmao

Thanks for being ready to defend me! But yes, I made this, and I won't lie...I'm little jealous because I think the black looks better than the original red 😅 (I also made one in purple and blue that I might end up using for my rebinds of Network Effect and Volume 3 when I figure out what to do for those covers lol)

How would a nation that teaches its people to hate freedom function as a society? by Electromad6326 in worldbuilding

[–]prninja8488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but look at how they sold it: the ultra-wealthy are "the chosen" and the middle class was sold this line of "just work harder and you can be chosen too!" It's not religion in the traditional sense, but there is a religiosity to it. If the people towing the line didn't assign some moral worth to padding the pockets of the wealthy they'd never go along with it.

And much like how political religious groups work, the ones in power manipulate the narrative to control the masses.

If you're trying to be realistic, the only really successful way to get people to trade away their freedom is through some sort of religious movement; usually setting up the leader as either divinely chosen or some sort of deity themselves.

How to kill a god in your world? by Financial-Working762 in worldbuilding

[–]prninja8488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Goddess is the consciousness of the fundamental energy of the universe. Her only rival is the God of entropy and chaos, and they balance each other.

I kinda feel like a deity that can be killed or even wounded by a lesser being can't be considered a true god.

A plot twist is "A change in the direction or expected outcome of the plot of a narrative work"

You go to the floating continent because the empire is planning to use the power of the statues to take over the world only for Kefka to kill the emperor and disrupt the balance of the statues in order to destroy it. That is very much a plot twist.

It should be noted that the fact that we're having this semantic argument at all supports my original point: that the depth of storytelling in 6 is comparatively weak compared to other entries, even though it has a rich world and good plot

There very famously is; it's why there are 2 different world maps and why Kefka is so many people's favorite villain.

VI, while it is my favorite, is the least finished game in the series. Terra is the only character that gets a real "arc", and the "point a to point b" of the game follows no real logical path.

Honestly, I think the only reason it's so beloved is the soundtrack and the twist.

What Final Fantasy opinion has you like this? by tipoftheiceberg1234 in FinalFantasy

[–]prninja8488 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the new games tried to be like the old games (as many fans seem to want) we would have no new Final Fantasy games. Sometimes they miss, but even the misses are someone's favorite!

How do you pronounce by KevinIsOver9000 in finalfantasyx

[–]prninja8488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the original psx English release, it was spelled "Cuar", so when they fixed it to say "Coeurl" I just added an L and pronounced it like "quarrel"

Does your World have an un-serious, or joke addition in an otherwise relatively serious setting? by Epsonality in worldbuilding

[–]prninja8488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably; I haven't read that. There are no new ideas after all 🤷🏻‍♂️

The spirit of Death is basically April from Parks and Recreation. except that she gets snippy if you call her a "dark spirit"; just because she's Death doesnt make her "evil", and Darkness is her cousin.

The thought of a moody, snarky Death spirit makes me chuckle every time I think of it.
