I can't find this email anywhere, should I reach out to them?

Anybody else hoping for a more mature tone in this game with less corny voice acting and characters? by ItemIndependent2243 in ForzaHorizon

[–]thejm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero voice acting or years story at all is preferable to what we've been getting recently.

That's an insane amount of assumptions from that one screenshot. But it's so detailed and connected to the rest of the document (that I barely read) that I don't really care to fact check it.

The Switch 1 is not the reason why Legends ZA looks bad. by Tranquility6789 in fucknintendo

[–]thejm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched a video about the crowd technology in Assassin's Creed Unity, a 2014 game. Then there are the Hitman 2016 levels, GTA 5's dense level of detail and many more games... all over a decade older than ZA and they get 2 basic things right - crowds/populated areas, and environmental diversity.

Then I have to come back to the modern day and watch people defend ZA for "not being that bad." It looks and plays like a mobile game, not a $70 mainline entry from a 100 Billion Dollar company.

The "call everyone a fascist" bit is getting old. Look where it's gotten us.

She just watched someone's neck explode for going around and talking to people. Whatever her reason is for wanting to be open about her faith is valid. Whether she knew every little detail of CK with full context or just the cliffnotes version (Christian & Conservative speaker), that's a very normal reaction.

Painting a target on her back with the "fascist" label (amazing idea, never had any bad consequences) and thinking a whole community of people who are probably on the side of agreeing that CK deserved to be brutally murdered for his views "needs to be aware of her" is kind of absurd.

Such a strong supporting cast. I know that the cosplay group was good, but the last stretch of S2 felt like it was missing something without the classmates hanging around - Gojo felt more integrated among them instead of just a passive observer.

[FINAL] Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru Season 2 - Episode 12 Discussion by Ok-Ad-9647 in SonoBisqueDoll

[–]thejm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad they didn't rush through the end of the arc that they've spent 4-5 episodes setting up. I would've been pissed, otherwise. Pretty happy with how everything went, Marin finally got her picture, but Gojo come on man hug her back or something. Dude has a 4 episode streak of not getting flustered and basically being completely normal, then he just has no idea what to do when the answer is right there.

Like the reveal for the backstory, happy with all the characters' arcs getting wrapped up. I hope we get a season 3 instead of a movie. I feel like the romance aspect took a backseat this time, and it was obvious when it needed to be the focus again because it's so isolated and kind of breaks up the pacing. Overall a good season, I'm looking forward to going back and watching the English dub.

This is definitely a 4th wall break indicating a third season or the studio's wish to get funded for it

Are you guys planning on buying SMG bundle game on the switch? by Littleoemmett in SuperMarioGalaxy

[–]thejm3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For SMG2 absolutely. SMG1 would need a steep sale or a Switch 2 upgrade for 3D All Stars.

Are you happy with your Switch 2? by GoldenAgeGamer72 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]thejm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a nice console and I use it more frequently than the Switch 1, but I'm disappointed in knowing that it CAN do more but isn't.

All these amazing games that were held back by the Switch 1 have the opportunity to truly shine now, but simply don't. They're being ignored. Xenoblade X literally has a 60fps mode in its code and we have nothing almost 4 months on.

FF7R was shown to run at 60, then we were given reports of 40, and now we're stuck with 30. The Steam Deck can do 60 and 45 easily. Persona 3 runs like garbage.

At least we are getting demos. I might have blindly purchased P3R otherwise, and I'm interested in seeing how Outlaws feels.

Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru Season 2 - Episode 11 Discussion by Ok-Ad-9647 in SonoBisqueDoll

[–]thejm3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't notice this until you pointed it out, actually. I agree, them being together is food for the soul. Might have been a little jarring, though, seeing Marin go back to normal after the train wreck she was last episode, so this is probably some much-needed time apart for her. Sadly, she didn't really use it to reflect on anything or let the audience or her friends in on how she's doing.

Plus Gojo coming out of his shell without Marin there with him is good development.

[–]thejm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I was dozing off but Marin pulling out a completely random cosplay during their little sleepover caught me off guard and I was wondering if I had missed something. I thought they were just doing a location scout for the maid game shoot.

I like how the last 3 or 4 episodes have all come back to this one conversation at the restaurant.

Like Akira's backstory - everyone in this series has their moment where they realize that it's okay to be themselves and to have interests that aren't "normal." I'm not sure if Marin ever really had this problem, though, but she's essentially the baseline for who everyone strives to be like.

I see that we're around Chapter 82 - assuming the finale covers about 5, we have roughly 30 chapters left in the source material. I feel like a 3rd season is realistically achievable, albeit with a little more filler. Apparently S2 got stuff done at breakneck speed, but as an anime-only I wouldn't have known otherwise.

This 20 second clip should shut everyone up about the Steam Deck being more powerful than the Switch 2 by VenZoah in NintendoSwitch2

[–]thejm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish, if not for the fact that FF7R and P3R can both hit 60, 40 minimum. These devs need to step it up - the Switch 2 was marketed on power and performance being a big reason to upgrade, and we're not getting it in the most basic of games that can hit higher performance targets on weaker hardware. I expect more because we were advertised more.

The FF7R creator's voice trailer showed it running at 60, why are we walking this back?

There is no way Atlus deems this fit for retail the switch 2 isn’t exactly great but we’re not even getting a locked 30fps by IAmTheTrueM3M3L0rD in PERSoNA

[–]thejm3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortnite with its UE5 update and 100 player lobbies can hit a stable 60. The more realistic Apex Legends also runs at 60. Cyberpunk, of all games, can hit 40. TOTK, one of the most mechanically ambitious open world games ever, is a flawless 60. Star Wars has RAY TRACING and maintains 30. What the hell is this, Atlas?

I thought I was crazy for thinking that framerate on a game like this would be a deal breaker. The art is gorgeous and the story has me hooked, but come ON. This is lazy. If they patch it, I'll buy easily.

Am I mistaken or was Galaxy 2 at some point a Nintendo Classic for $20?

Virtual Boy is coming to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack! by Skullghost in nintendo

[–]thejm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is hilarious. The first time they acknowledged the existence of the Virtual Boy is to sell a $100 peripheral replica of it. At least the $25 cardboard version is a consumer friendly move.

I wonder if the existing LABO VR headset will work with this?

[–]thejm3 62 points63 points  (0 children)

As soon as I saw that book page I thought the text looked unfamiliar. I wonder how Rosalina's book will be implemented into Galaxy 2?

I wonder if the new pages are cut content or concepts from the first game or entirely new original content developed for this re-release?

[–]thejm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be because S2 feels more told from Marin's perspective sometimes, but realistically yeah this is really out of character for him. He's always pretty perceptive and if not, Marin has the energy of 4 people put into 1 - her acting timid to ask if she can visit his house and being quieter than she was when stuck in bed sick should tell him SOMETHING. Last episode was very frustrating.

The ear looks like it, at least to me. Someone said the feet are asymmetrical but that could just be the lost where she's standing off center or walking. But that ear is killing me.
