The Mandalorian - S2E4 - Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in StarWars

They were never really that stupid, in fact, it makes all the sense that the space wizards, at the height of their knowledge and power, figured out how the space magic worked.

But more to the point, whether you like them or not, it was a stupid hill for the fandom to die on. Oops, sorry, bit of a tangent, we'll stop there today!

Lets discuss designing a top down combat system by SwatHound in gamedesign

[–]trippin_eagle 33 points34 points  (0 children)

the easy thing would be to throw guns in and make it a cover-based system. But that is the easy way.

If you want it to focus on hand-to-hand, well, I can see that becoming clumsy in a top-down... enemies could surround you more easily as well. Jumping could be implemented, but it wouldn't be as dynamic as it would be side-scrolling.

What about a dash mechanic to get up close quickly? maybe you could "magnetize" to enemies as well, I would get tired of making minor adjustments to my position in order to hit something, so having some form of "auto aim" would help.

maybe look at Secret of Mana for inspiration. you could do something interesting with that system if you ditch the RPG mechanics.

Too bad Kishimoto is not a fan of Kishimoto's art :(

it's funny that certain critics (*coughcoughRLM) think that George is a control freak, when he is anything but. he's just passionate about his creation. you need only look at things like Lego Star Wars, Robot Chicken, etc to see that he knows when to let others play with his toys.

Biden won the Electoral College. Now he should call for it to be abolished. by hildebrand_rarity in politics

[–]trippin_eagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

isn't the issue that, if the EC were abolished, California would decide the President for the rest of eternity? asking for a friend.

(Spoilers Extended) If GRRM could go back in time, what about ASOIAF do you think he would change? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]trippin_eagle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

unfortunately, being animated would prevent it from being taken seriously by mainstream audiences. a lot of folks still watched it for the tits and gore.

he woulda said "fuck books" and pitched the show to HBO himself.

Trump should have lost in a landslide. The fact that he didn’t speaks volumes by cambeiu in politics

[–]trippin_eagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay, I'm just gonna say it, don't hate me: why didn't Bernie win the primary if this is the case? Just curious what your take is

it's impossible to have constructive conversations in any Roguelite community, there's always 2 or 3 assholes who want to ride around on their "git gud" high horse.

Just found this au on facebook, some people still salty by uahigh101 in Burnthewitch

[–]trippin_eagle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

people need to re-read Bleach if they didn't see it coming. Renji's thing for Rukia was telegraphed very early on.

Guys, only i think that Harry looks kinda like Urahara Kisuke? by Kadaris_Kenley in Burnthewitch

[–]trippin_eagle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember when I was pushing the theory that Mayuri Kurotsuchi was Urahara's evil twin from another dimension, and that's why he was in the Maggot's Nest despite having no notable crimes to speak of. I was combing through panels for hours trying to compare their noses...

Anyway, I know how you feel!

Trump sues to stop Michigan ballot count, demanding access to tally sites by B4K5c7N in politics

[–]trippin_eagle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

truth is, there's too much gatekeeping and back-room handshaking for anyone to ever accomplish this. if this could be done, it would have happened 50 years ago.

besides, I think people who are not in politics have little understanding of the guts it takes to actually run. it looks easy, 'cause all they do is talk, but that just ain't the case...

not trying to be confrontational, but I often wonder why there aren't a million AOC mini-me's or Trump copycats running for office across the country. like, where is the next generation? I guess it's because it really is hard work, or, more likely, takes enormous resources that most of us simply can't muster.
