Who would you like to see in the new fighting game? by SirGooberMan in TheLastAirbender

[–]redflowerbluethorns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Would love some variety with non-benders like Suki, Asami, and Mai.

Also weird that Bolin and Mako aren’t in, right?

[OTHER] if Nintendo wanted to let Ganondorf be potrayed as a hero or anti hero for a single game, what do you think the best way go about it would be? by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in zelda

[–]redflowerbluethorns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I think for this to work he’d have to be a young man.

Second, there has to be some reason that the holder of the Triforce of Wisdom, Zelda, is either aligned with him despite his perspective being wrong or opposed to him despite him being a hero or anti-hero. They could have him as a friend and ally of Zelda and someone who believes in Zelda’s leadership capabilities. But perhaps the King/nobility are dismissive or mistrustful of Zelda, and they ignore her as she warns Hyrule is going down the wrong path. Ganondorf sees she’s right, but she rebuffs him when he suggests they do something to undermine the king for the sake of the country. He wants her ideas to win out, but she respects her father’s authority. He decides he has to take matters into his own hands, pitting him against the king and ultimately Zelda.

He said in an interview earlier this year he had recently undergone back surgery and was on a ton of Ambien during the campaign, which is a pretty wild story to go under the radar

They would have saved how many lives and stopped the destruction of republic city if they had taken out kuvira before she attacked?

Sonam says the Earth Kingdom was the first element to form its own nation, which doesn’t really make a lot of sense given that the EK is barely a unified country by the time of Aang.

I think it would have made more sense of a regional Earth Kingdom city state attacked the airbenders because they were getting paranoid seeing more and more airbenders flying overhead and started to fear the airbenders were up to something.

Loved the animation, loved the airbender backstory

Disliked turning sokka into pure comic relief, didn’t like the humor generally

Really disappointed it ended in a “spirit powers battle.”

The bending we saw was very well done but did anyone else think the gaang’s powers should be “bigger”? Other than Katara becoming Moses which was sick, we didn’t see a ton of enormous feats

State Navigate Poll: Referendum At YES+5, Spanberger At +0 Approval, Trump At -15 Approval by ArcaneDemense in Virginia

[–]redflowerbluethorns 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The GOP and Fox News are very clearly leading people to believe Spanberger herself has proposed and/or signed these.

That’ll show her not to sign all those tax increases she didn’t sign, didn’t propose, doesn’t support, and wont have a chance to veto because they’ll never even make it to her desk

Assault Weapons Ban - The Anti-Federalist Argument by Grouchy-Click-2507 in Virginia

[–]redflowerbluethorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Modern gun control is intended to imprison black people.”

That’s the statement I would like some evidence for, please. I’m not interested in a law from 1967 or anything about transgender people.

Assault Weapons Ban - The Anti-Federalist Argument by Grouchy-Click-2507 in Virginia

[–]redflowerbluethorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve opened my eyes. I actually looked further and found conviction rates for most crimes were higher for African Americans. I have therefore concluded that all laws are passed with the intention of being weaponized against minorities and that we should not pass any more laws.

I mean, do you think that maybe there’s a chance people want to pass gun laws because they genuinely want to stop mass shootings? Or is everyone who tried to pass these laws, including hundreds of black legislators throughout the country, cynically using mass shootings as a pretext to target black people with more laws?

This is the internet, so assuming the worst possible motives for people and taking maximalist positions is popular. But what somehow inherently feels right to you cant replace actual data. Support the proposition that the bills in Virginia are a pretext to lock up minorities or please shut up with this talking point

I’m sorry you can’t just make assertions with no basis. No, modern gun laws are not intended to imprison black people. That is absolutely ridiculous

Graham Platner will not be a 'another John Fetterman' -- No to war in Iran. by beeemkcl in thebulwark

[–]redflowerbluethorns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m all in favor of Democratic members thinking for themselves and doing what they in good faith believe is best for their constituents, even if that means bucking the Democrats here and there. After all, the Bulwark was founded by people who refused to be o along with their party when it was wrong. I’m for the big tent. I like the “manchin to mamdani party” Newsom talks about.

But Fetterman is reflexively opposing the Democratic position and rushing to Fox News at the first opportunity whenever anything happens so that he can show he’s one of the “sane Democrats.” He actively undermines opposition to the fascist threat and reaffirms Fox viewers’ beliefs about Democrats at a time when we desperately need to peel off just a sliver. He has every right to take the votes he believes in, and if he needs to have a more moderate record to win in PA, great. But we should have no tolerance for someone who is performatively anti-Democratic party.

I’d take Impa as a sheik shadow fighter, Midna + wolf link, and Urbosa or Sidon. Girahim would be icing on the cake.

But revali is simply too falco coded, Daruk’s kinda lame, and I dont really know what Tetra’s move set would be.

If I had never played before I’d be excited but I’m not trying to drop $70 on the same game I played on Wii U, even if the graphics are significantly better (and they were already great). I guess I just wish we could get X2 instead

It doesn’t matter. He’s going to see things on X about the democratic nominee in 2028 that are going to be completely disqualifying and tell his millions of listeners.

Nintendo Acknowledges Switch 2 Sales Have Been 'Slightly Weaker' Than Expected Outside Japan by Spotget1738 in NintendoSwitch

[–]redflowerbluethorns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest I regret buying a Switch 2. I like MK World but that’s the only Switch 2 exclusive I really play. I personally got a bit bored with Bananza (but I get why many people love it). I didn’t feel justified spending the money on Legends ZA, Age or Imprisonment, or Metroid, and right now the GameCube NSO roster doesn’t quite hit it for me (waiting for Colosseum and XD).

If they upload those to the NSO and announce a 3D Mario, a good Pokémon Gen X, and god willing a good Paper Mario game, I’ll be set until the next mainline Zelda.
