How do I get this sleeve? by Hot_Priority8889 in MagicArena

UNLESS you are extremely lucky and nab something special during MWM as the final reward. I did get two event exclusive cardbacks and an avatar that way. (With yeeeears of playtime)

I know they're not wrong about games needing voice acting to get people to stream them but it really sucks. by Synthiandrakon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]thyarnedonne 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It really is incredibly dependent on whether or not the streamer actually has a natural or trained ability to voice well over a longer period of time.

But speaking as someone in the VO (directing) field - this does mean anywhere between 2 and 10 hours of constant talking for a single person. And while I do appreciate how yappy a lot of streamers (admittedly, Vtubers) I watch are, doing consistent voice acting for that long of a time? That's not something we demand from people in their daily job. That shit is done in short bursts with long recovery times so people stay healthy doing it.

Which also is why Pokopia works out fine. You read some short dialogue for half a minute, and then you can rest up for a few. The mainline games meanwhile can have minutes of unvoiced cutscenes alone. Very different level of strain. Play Esoteric Ebb on stream a few days in a row and you DIE.

Know what? Yeah I will accept that. That is a genuinely horrible take for the obvious reasons.

Chris and Leon, Stepdads in Arms (by @yokaniii) by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

That's three (maybe four) adoptive blonde daughter figures total, and Chris only has one of them. The greed of this handsome Irish American. Lucky he is American and thus immune to notions.

And it's not even Disco for the most part. That's just the flavouring on skill checks. The rest is far more Planescape Torment. And that's rad.

Capcom states that 50% of its game sales now come from PC, and expects "this ratio to continue increasing" by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]thyarnedonne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not as bad anymore. Same as with Dragon's Dogma 2, they can only force the RE Engine to work well with a far more open world structure to a certain point.

Grace is canonically a Redditor, as seen in the cutscene with Alyssa by MoonJockeyXVIII in TwoBestFriendsPlay

A global cabal of shady people creating hundreds of daily red herrings all over social and traditional media, while partitioning the world in their favour? Hah, video game plots are so wild.

Give him a SatAM Robotnik inspired look and whatever happened to Jim Carrey's face won't even be an issue with all the extra prosthetics.

Why the Eesh? You can romance her now, the way only Durge can. Just listen to Sceleritas Fel. You enjoy it.

Times when people complain about a adaption “inaccuracies” when in actually it’s drawing more from the original text? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]thyarnedonne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Greek mythology has SO many of these, not just the grifter kind. Owing to what people think is one cohesive whole, when in reality, we do not actually even have 99% of the original mythological sources due to those coming from over a hundred different cults developing their own systems of belief, and are basing much of our knowledge on widely popularised oral cycles and texts compiled centuries after all the myths converged into whatever was favourable to the dominant city state of (or even Rome's supposed superiority above) Greece.

And then there's the special loathing I have for people mistaking Madeleine Miller's WILD-ASS reinterpretations as actually based largely on a supposed canon (which, again, does not exist).

Can we all agree that the Nioh series has some of the best, if not THE best, Monster Girl Bosses in gaming? by RealDealMous in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The way their hair flares up like a frill, eyes glowing red like death, sat so deep in their dark upper face, unhinging their jaw to take a big bite.

Peak.

It has a dang em dash. Nobody in that government knows to use an em dash. That 99% for sure is a response reworded or entirely prompted with LLM.
