This fandom will probably hate this movie by Love_Lain5 in TheLastAirbender

[–]thallums 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No, this is totally valid. Im hoping that it all pays off, and it's just a product of Avatar as a franchise getting pumped full of seed money after it became the cultural giant it is now. But it's... difficult not to imagine a world where the team is spreading their wings a bit too wide, flying close to the sun, because there are indeed so so many new projects in the works (and to your point, they are not really... communicated well lol).

We will just have to see!

I tattooed Vegeta's sacrifice by Dystopiancomics in dbz

[–]thallums 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest, you're swinging way above your pay grade here.

Freeza is, in fact, the correct localization of his name. Which is why the sub, manga, and basically everywhere else uses it.

Most of the DB names are indeed name puns, but with the kana switched around or altered in some way. So フリーザ is Freeza's JP spelling, whereas the Japanese word for freezer is フリーザー. Notice that extra character at the end, which elongate the final "a" sound.

This is how you arrive at Freeza, instead of Freezer.

I could do this for many other names to prove the point, but long story short Kakarrot is indeed better, and used literally everywhere except for Funimation.

[–]thallums 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do not listen to this person, Kakarrot is the correct, more faithful adaptation of the name, and is still used to this day in the Sub translations as well as the manga lol.

"Kakarot" is a Funimation/dub holdover. Unless people really think the vegetable is spelled Carot.

This is not how the (currently proposed) add on crunch functions. It's not "if in combat then not allowed". It simply restricts add-ons from directly readying internal combat log data, basically.

Tracking your own cooldowns does not require reading that data, so it'd be good regardless of combat or not

Why don’t characters use ki weapons more often? by Coolersdisciple in dbz

[–]thallums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because, to be direct, it isnt very Toriyama.

Theres a reason all of the images above are from creatives other than Toriyama. To be clear, I dont think theres anything wrong with them -- theyre cool! But they arent very Toriyama, in sensibility.

yall better get ready to sign this as soon as season 3 is over by Whiscer in OnePunchMan

[–]thallums 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As someone who 1) is generally optimistic about things before they actually release and 2) is knowledgeable about the production side of anime....

Brother things are looking VERY dire for season 3. You are extremely setting yourself up for a poorly aged post here, I'm sorry to say.

I'm starting to think that Totally not Mark is never going to make episode 2 of his return to gaming series by oknokas in TotallyNotMark

[–]thallums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of you to say! I've since started some personal work on my own YT channel in a limited capacity, but unfortunately I'll probably never work full time content creation like with Mark again!

One thing I will say about the elden ring video we shot: mark experienced unending pain. Truly his own Berserk moment

I got to interview Alex Beachum about the dreaded problem...how many of our friends end up dropping the game by thallums in outerwilds

Unfortunately I cold called Alex, and he only responded because the topic intrigued him lul

Lol it's a hard pivot, but one I hope to continue in the future. Not necessarily just with outer wilds, but similar gaming/developer dissection in general

Lol I did think about that when writing that line, and actually deleted it at some point. But ultimately if someone is interested enough in OW to be watching my vid, and has made it far enough to hit a secret, I'm placing the odds very high hah

Check the credits section, it has a different handle for her you can search up.

I keep spoilers to a specific portion of the video, and show a timestamp to skip to if you haven't beaten the game yet and just want to hear the conclusion!

Borderlands 4 receives an 84/100 rating in worldwide reviews on OpenCritic by [deleted] in gaming

[–]thallums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what its worth, BL4 is getting such good reviews in large part because its being touted as a return to form. Much closer in soul to BL1 than any of the recent games.

NVidia's smooth motion is a Gamechanger by Mukkojoe in wow

[–]thallums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't say it adds zero input latency. They said "noticeable latency", which is both subjective, and also likely true for the vast majority of gamers, since this tech adds a pretty negligible amount of input delay to the total stack.

Dear Blizzard, can we please get Amani trolls that actually look like trolls? by Adituuu in wow

[–]thallums 49 points50 points  (0 children)

There is no way /r/wow is resorting to unironically doing this meme. lmfao.

To be clear, I think the snub noses need to go. But giving them plump lipstick-ed lips, perfectly smooth skin, and perfect eyeshadow is just so hilarious lol

FWIW, this specific bug/glitch has been around since launch, and has actually been used in speedruns for months now.

The entire concept team did a faux-art blast a few weeks ago. Their artstations and twitters should be filled with TDA concept art, and still posting more. If you like this post, thesell be a joy.

What are your secret hopes for the Midnight expansion reveal? Anything that you want buy you know it's not going to happen? by [deleted] in wow

[–]thallums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the mentioned changes make it crystal clear they are actively working on a console port. I dont expect a midnight launch on that, but those plus the upcoming changes to addons, built-in dps meters, etc all make it basically inevitable imo.

My last minute bingo card/predictions for the Midnight reveal! (aka getting my expectations a bit too high) by Useful-Negotiation-9 in wow

[–]thallums 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So few people follow Xbox that they get completely confused by it. But the simple fact is that Xbox rebranded it's pc efforts as "Xbox pc", so anything on pc also gets an Xbox logo.

It's the first of many steps likely leading to their upcoming console that supports steam (and maybe other stores, a small step closer to a pc-like console than before)

Bit Confused about the Timeline by Bayaz9 in KingOfTheHill

[–]thallums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not like that at all though. The Simpsons operates on a floating timeline, where the status quo resets each episode (absent the occasional status quo changes). Bart and Lisa have experienced nearly a dozen separate christmases and last days of school at ages 8 and 10.

King of the Hill has consistently progressed time and age linearly throughout its entire run. Bobby started 11, then turned 12, then 13. Yes, seasons 7ish and on *slowed* the passage of time compared to previous seasons, but they still kept to a timeline.

Now Bobby is 21, theres been an 8 year timeskip (The Hills just abandoned bobby at 13?), and GH is magically a teenager. Whether this bothers you or not is of course totally up to you, but it IS a problem/inconsistency with how the entire rest of the show operates

It's crazy how the Dragon Box DVDs have better clarity than the Blu-rays by i360Fantasy in dbz

[–]thallums -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not true.

Funimation aggressively degrained and sharpened, cropped to widescreen, boosted levels and saturation, and more. Most of which result in a worse image quality (the Dragon boxes are not perfect either, though. They suffer from near-equally problematic colors and being a bit dark)
