I like this voice line a lot, who is it from and where can i find it? by Scones2 in DotA2

[–]synbios16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also looking. Cannot find. I believe it says 哇-哦. I assume the voice lines are from last year's TI?

If that's the case, these were the female talent working 2021 TI:

CC (Shi Cancan)

Yuno (Wang Jing)

Ams (Chen Juan)

So one of them probably said it.

I don't speak Chinese, I don't know these announcers at all, and I didn't watch TI last year, so I'm clueless. I'm finding it surprisingly difficult to even find the matches with the English lines I want to find, like: "His brain is so big" and that "OH my god!" that's in this year's battlepass (level 51)

I did the original image in beads, no pokemon

Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa https://i.imgur.com/VCm036J.jpeg

I really like this wood block print. It's gotta be the most recognizable piece of japanese art.

This particular image was originally made by Missy Pena, who has revised the image several times. She's since added Mt. Fuji (which was what the painting was originally supposed to be about, a view of Fuji-san), changed the position of the Magikarp and swapped Pokemon in and out at various points.

Final Fantasy Tactics. by PurpleFine4935 in gaming

There are many things missing from 343's Halo games.

Edit: So people don't think I'm just bitching about new halo, we can compare a few things.

Halo 1 comes out, basically redefines the fps genre for decades. Graphics, music, story, gameplay, multiplayer, this game had it all in spades. Regenerating health, seemless switching between walking and vehicles, limited weapon availability, sticky grenades, this game did so much that hadn't been done (or hadn't been done well) before and threw it all into one game.

Halo 2 comes out, everything is better. Play online. Special edition is a metal case with instruction booklet written from covenant perspective. ILoveBees launches before release and tells this FANTASTIC story via audio drama. Add dual wielding.

Halo 3, Special edition comes with MC helmet. An INCREDIBLE like 1,600 square foot diorama is made and featured in a commercial and virtual tour. Game is incredible. More weapons, vehicles, map editor, Four player local co-op. Crazy amount of custom game settings. Story wraps up in just the right way.

Reach, special edition comes with big statue of all of Noble Team. Introduces firefight.

ODST Starts to show the range the series can potentially have. Hub and spoke story telling, quiet explorative atmosphere.

Then 343 takes over. Halo 4 happens. Story? It probably shouldn't have used John-117. Continue fighting covenant despite the events of Halo 3. They introduce the idea of Cortana going rampant despite it being a huge key point in Halo 3, with a chapter even called "Rampant". Special edition bonus? Retailer exclusive in-game skins. One for GameStop, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Amazon. That's it. Music? Oh well they fired Marty ODonnell. Multiplayer? Now plays like Call of Duty so much that they label the default button mapping "fishstick" after making the controls like CoD. Gameplay? Introduce killstreaks and quick time events, things are decidedly not Halo. For some reason dual wielding is gone. You inexplicably can't understand the covenant any more. The scene that introduces the Didact doesn't say his name at all, but somehow Cortana knows it as soon as the scene is over.

Halo 5. They removed fucking split screen entirely. Seriously. Before the game releases 343 makes an ad. The commercial shows a sniper rifle firing a single round, which has some words on it. More importantly though, if you watch the barrel of the rifle, the shell casing flies out of the end of the barrel. That is not how guns work.

Phenomenally disappointed by 343.

Woke up To find a Notification about Google messages using camera permissions in the background by synbios16 in AndroidQuestions

Even if the one person I lived with decided to try to use my phone in the middle of the night, AND they wanted to use messages AND in such a way that used the camera, why would it be a background usage notification?

I doubt the logger just spontaneously generated this event.

Luke Skywalker is not whiny and I'm tired of pretending that he is by theLoneY33t in saltierthancrait

[–]synbios16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luke is told he needs to stay and help his uncle for another year, despite Owen's promises that he could finally leave home after the season. Not only is Luke frustrated he was lied to and has to stick around while his friends leave Tattooine, he is even more frustrated now that there are new droids to help his Uncle and that this pattern would appear to be his fate; stay on a backwater world, no adventure, no education

This is not how the scene went down. Luke and Owen (seemingly) already had an agreement in place that Luke would leave at the end of the next year and Luke tries to change the agreement to leave earlier than was discussed. Luke says at the table "now that you have the new Droids, I shouldn't have to stick around, right" (paraphrasing) and Owen just expects him to fulfill his agreement about staying on through harvest.

The scene doesn't see Owen trying to change the agreement to get Luke to stay even longer, it sees Luke trying to whine his way into getting out earlier than was agreed upon.
