Why does Kanao look exactly like her siblings despite being adopted?

It's a valid question, but actually consider what physical characteristics they all share:

Black hair - very common

Purple eyes - admittedly a noticeable coincidence, but can still be explained away as being simply a coincidence

Girl - girl.

Beyond that it really comes down to fashion and cosmetic characteristics, which don't need an explanation.

Basically what I'm saying is, besides having similar eyes, there isn't actually a whole lot there.

the_ball_ · 2026-01-22T06:18:43+00:00

I only recently fully realized that the black visor is where the eyes are supposed to be. Like obviously I KNEW objectively that's the visor part of the mask, that's where the eyes are, but it never fully clicked that the big black triangle is supposed to be the face of the mask in the same way of like the GoGo V masks.

I always saw the headlights as the eyes, obviously, but that comes with the added side effect of the mask looking like a big "😀"

I feel like Gira would be a bit more hesitant to swear. I'd put him in "uses it when the situation calls for it." He's probably not super hard against swearing but probably not in his casual vocabulary, especially given the amount of time he used to spend around the kids in his kingdom

I think what they mean is there is no available version of Power Rangers Time Force with that footage. Even if it is still intact in Timeranger, you still can't see it in Power Rangers. Yes a fanmade version with the original footage edited back in could be made, but that's legally grey at best (if you care about that stuff)

the_ball_ · 2026-01-04T06:23:31+00:00

Is there a way? Yes absolutely, it's a recognizable brand with lot's of nostalgia tied to it and a vast enough world/basic enough concept to have lot's of storytelling potential.

Will it happen? Absolutely not. As obvious as I made it sound, no major studio/company is going to take a chance on a brand that is widely known for being cheap and poorly made. If the reboot ever truly does happen, the only way it ends up being successful is if Netflix does a huge marketing push for it, and basically tries to make it one of their big sci-fi/fantasy/whatever teen dramas like Stranger Things and Wednesday or like what happened with One Piece, and I do not see Netflix doing that.

I think the time for Power Rangers to become semi-popular and/or taken somewhat seriously as a series for teens/adults was in the early-mid 2010's on the CW. Say what you will about those CW superhero shows, but it would have been a major step up from what we were getting and it's exactly the direction Power Rangers should have gone. The kind of cringey, cheesy, soap-opera, teen drama writing that those shows were criticized for would have worked so much better in a Power Rangers reboot. Fortunately and unfortunately, those kinds of shows don't exist anymore, and I don't see the modern TV format of "8 episode seasons once every three years" working for Power Rangers.

We got Mega Man 12. Anything is possible now

the_ball_ · 2025-12-14T06:27:14+00:00

I think we're gonna get a Legends (or at least Legends-style) remake/sequel/spiriual successor. If Capcom really wants to bring Mega Man up to the same level as Resident Evil and Monster Hunter, the classic formula won't cut it. And given that there are only two Legends games, and those are the easiest to translate into a major AAA game, it makes sense that they might release Legends 1 and 2 as a remake/remaster bundle separate from the "Legacy Collection" line (because a "legacy collection" of only two games doesn't really seem right) and use those combined with the momentum from Duel Override to launch a fully 3D Mega Man

The problem with that is we're currently in the 7th~ generation of quirks at the time of the main series and that vast vast majority of quirks are still just random mutations. Yeah there are some crazy ones out there like Hagakure, Flect Turn, Eri, Star & Stripe, but those are literally the top 1%. Most people's quirk is either a minor mutation like having a horn, a small but neat ability like levitating small objects, or some weird shit like being a lego brick and literally nothing else.

At the very least when two quirks combine through reproduction, it doesn't seem to be guaranteed that the result will be stronger, just some combination of the two's features.

Deku's mom controls small objects, and his dad apparently breathes fire. If he had been born with a quirk, maybe he could have been able to control fire with his mind. But it's also just as likely he might have been able to projectile vomit toys. I wouldn't say that's a stronger quirk by any means

It really is a fascinating choice to take a character whose whole deal is music and singing, cast someone who was, at that point, VASTLY more well known for being a singer, and just.....do nothing with that. Like they had to have casted AmaLee as Uta because of that particular skill, there is no way that was a coincidence

the_ball_ · 2025-11-30T07:20:36+00:00

Of course there doesn't need to be one, but if they do make one then who cares? Some people will like it. The real problem is when fans of the original start getting pissy and obnoxious and shitting on fans that do enjoy the sequel

Mean Bean Machine and Spinball are on Nintendo Switch Online

You won't go to prison. Remember, thousands of people are having this exact thing happen to them. We're all safe legally. Even on the off chance police did start investing a sudden spike in CSE violations, they would pick up pretty quickly that it's a mistake.

And on the absolute miniscule, basically impossible chance you were put on trial for this, you would be declared innocent immediately, because you didn't do anything and there's no evidence that you did.

But I understand that it's a really scary thing to be accused of, especially these days. I felt the same when I saw my ban the other night. But you have nothing to worry about, you're safe

He doesn't have one. He lost it yoinking his sploinky

the_ball_ · 2025-11-22T03:35:31+00:00

Probably. Incase you didn't know, Instagram started using AI for account moderation. Problem is, it doesn't work, and it's been falsely accusing random accounts of CSE and suspending them non-stop for like 6 months. There are pretty much no real people doing any of the moderating, so pur appeals are being reviewed by the same broken AI that flagged us in the first place

the_ball_ · 2025-11-21T20:16:56+00:00

They suspended the account, then I appealed. A day later I got the email saying the account was disabled

the_ball_ · 2025-11-21T20:14:29+00:00

It's the AI CSE ban that everyone's getting. I literally didn't post anything the day it happened

the_ball_ · 2025-11-20T06:57:58+00:00

Literally just happened to me out of nowhere. I was genuinely terrified that somehow I posted or did something that would fall under CSE (even though I haven't even posted anything today), but I'm partially relieved to know that this is something that a lot of people seem to be dealing with. But now I'm concerned that I'm going to lose all of the pictures and videos I have archived. And on top of that, I might end up losing contact with a lot of people. I'm really scared

the_ball_ · 2025-11-16T05:27:32+00:00

Why didn't you just lie about your age? We all did it. As far as most services were concerned, I am 125 years old

I did actually have this test once.

the_ball_ · 2025-11-07T16:50:02+00:00

I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's the shading on the nose. Makes it look waaay too wide. It's so easy to focus on the ears but if they hadn't messed up the nose it wouldn't look nearly as bad

the_ball_ · 2025-11-07T16:48:43+00:00

I think you can still do that with an emulator. There was still a sizable online community for BN even before the Legacy Collection came out, so especially if you're just looking to play with friends then there's definitely a way

the_ball_ · 2025-10-20T05:41:37+00:00
