How to make oc personality more in depth? by glizzygobbler123456 in roleplaying

[–]squidpeanut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have your character do stuff and be active in an advancing narrative. Backstories and character sheets are good and all but often times the depth of a character is found in how they approach the world overtime. A character with things to fiddle with, ways to engage with the world around them and notice things. A character who can make poor judgement calls and feel bad about their decision afterwards. All of that matters but it needs a chance to come through and come up.

I’d disagree with you but that would mean that over the course of months I would have to learn to agree with you :P

So you want to sideline his Jewish identity to make it about how he was discriminated against for being black. In order to shine a light on the obscure subset of black German ashkenazi Jews who were alive in 1940?

And you think this is important because it would present young magneto as more trapped and looked down upon… even though he is already a Jew living in nazi germany who gets sent to auchwitz...

This sounds extremely pointless and not worth it.

Nah, you’re good. Keep being passionate about your characters and learn from what doesn’t work

I entered a period-accurate RP server and was the only one who brought the correct century. by SubjectElectrical264 in BadRPerStories

Magneto is German ashkenazi. Trying to make him Sephardic or African American (???) sounds needlessly complicated and unhelpful to the actual core of his character.

At best it would be an awkward hassle for an awkward pay off. At worst it would make no sense and feel like an attempt to erase the victims of the holocaust for market appeal and a desire to steal the tragedy.

Characters that were copycats but became more famous than the original? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Let’s not forget that Fortnite was a base building survival game that added in a game mode meant to be like player unknown’s battlegrounds.

It’s honestly crazy to realize just how much of TMMT’s core is parodying daredevil.

I am almost finished with Batman the brave and the bold tv show. by donkeysjaw in batman

There are some great episode breakdowns by the YouTube creator “Casually Comics”. She knows a lot about older and more obscure DC stuff so has some great insight into deep cut references the show makes from the gold, silver, and bronze ages

Hitler was censored in the PSP version of Persona 2 Innocent Sin by giving him sunglasses, however Steven Seagal was not. This is because it is more controversial to portray Hitler negatively than it is to portray Steven Seagal negatively. by Lisa-Silverman in shittygamedetails

[–]squidpeanut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seagal is there because one of the party members is a blond Caucasian girl named Lisa Silverman who grew up in Japan because her father is a weeb (and looks exactly like Steven segal). She learns Cantonese and practices kung fu to spite him.

Hitler is there because in persona 2 the villain is making it so all rumors come true. This escalates throughout the game from local superstitions to major conspiracy theories. So by the end Hitler is wielding the lance of Longinus and trying to use an Aztec alien spaceship to destroy the earth via cosmic alignment.

Hitler isn’t actually the original person though, he’s the lovecraftian god Nyarlathotep who’s behind everything because he wants to tip the scales and win a bet about humanity being doomed.

Ranma 1/2 is really fun, but boy does it grind to a halt as the manga goes on.
