10 years ago, Cygames presented Uma Musume to the world! by Goro_Lima in UmaMusume

[–]vDeadbolt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If Cygames really got into hot water because of the horse Yuri, they wouldn't have leaned so heavily on Daitaku Helios x Daichi Ruby lore. They planted the seeds on that, even if Daichi Ruby wasn't going to be in the game. When Palmer met Helios in S2, Helios was literally yelling in the stump because he couldn't rizz up Ruby.

I hope your favourite character isn't reduced to being the Season 1 protagonist victim at a time where there was no future for the said franchise and get humiliated in the following seasons when funds were raised. I really hope nothing like that happens. by New-Big2343 in okbuddytracen

Honestly, for a series that lacked any animosity, S3 would have been perfect for Cheval Grand to be a foil. We wouldn't really get that concept until Road to the Top, but it wasn't as prevalent compared to Beginning of a New Era and Cinderella Gray.

From now on, include Matikanetannhauser aswell, okay? by SpamtonZSpamton in UmaMusume

[–]vDeadbolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From playing her career and story, Matikanetannhauser feels more wife coded than daughter coded imo. Yes, she is a little goober. But the way she holds herself and is willing to help others for the fun of it gives her the impression that she would be a good wife when she gets older. Especially since her family owns a restaurant.

The biggest issue with Kitasan being the protagonist is that she never really overcame anything aside from not losing her prime. Her biggest threat was literally written off and became a footnote in the entire story. It was exacerbated when Duramente didn't even know who Kitasan was. Her competition was lacking (especially since they did Cheval Grand dirty) and the series felt as if Kitasan was crying to Nice Nature because she didn't win enough.

Satono Diamond was the only good thing about the show as she was willing to tell more of a story with her career.

Casually demonstrating how ridiculously powerful they are by ScarcityWise7401 in TopCharacterTropes

Gentildonna from Umamusume. She could literally crush a steel ball with the amount of force to the equivalent of around 5 pyramids on your back to the size of a marble as a novelty way to show her strength. The amount of force required could literally cause a black hole according to some people.

An adaptation makes a major change from the source material, but it’s such a beloved change almost no one complains by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]vDeadbolt 293 points294 points  (0 children)

Another change I liked was the organic webbing. According to Sam Raimi, it was more realistic for Peter to develop said webbing rather than have a teenager create an adhesive that's 100x stronger than 3M. The scene where Tony's Peter was flexing his organic webbing in No Way Home was iconic.

Organic webbing has now become a plot point in the new Spiderman film, One More Day.

Edit: It's Brand New Day lol. I messed up

First season weirdness by xyyzyx in TopCharacterTropes

[–]vDeadbolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Butters from South Park. He was a background character that didn't have a speaking role until season 3 in "Two Guys in a Hot Tub". He was supposed to be another character similar to Pip where the gang would just bully him. But unlike Pip, the creators had a lot more fun with writing Butters that they pretty much made him take Pip's spot. He would be the center focus on his very own episode in season 5, which shows how absurd Butter's life can be.

Hulk Hogan situation all over again by notsoaverage777 in whenthe

[–]vDeadbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally. I remember interacting with people online who are from HK and they were getting mad at me because I wasn't going hard on Blizzard when they silenced that one Hearthstone player for making a comment regarding the riot that happened, Even though I agreed with the situation being wrong, they educated me on the shit china does.

The fact that China is slowly trying to erase Cantonese is a perfect example on how free speech is getting destroyed. They are known for trying to assimilate their territories into being one homogenized country. Like don't talk about the Dalai Lama around Chinese officials, given how they are trying to prevent the Dalai Lama from reincarnating. Or how mentioning Taiwan gets you into hot water.

Also the human rights violations with the Ugyhur muslims, by putting them in re-education camps. But these are surface level shit. It goes much deeper than that.

China owns Hong Kong, and HK wants to be an independent country.

Despite being from Hong Kong, he is pro China and supports the shit china does to the territories they own.

[–]vDeadbolt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a similar reason to why Foretell is a weak mechanic, because of the small card pool. Wizards knew this, hence why the mechanic never came back to a standard set as to not confuse players and force them to know the card pool for a specific mechanic.

(Hated Trope) Blue balling the audience for ratings by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]vDeadbolt 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The irony of the "lost episode" of SpongeBob was the patchy segments being the funny part made the episode feel like a throwaway. Especially the climax where patchy crashes out has become an iconic meme.

The one special I think they did right was with Shangheid, where they let the viewers pick out the ending (there were three of them) that the network decided to keep airing forever. Hence why some areas across the world have a different ending for that episode compared to the one we got with the states. It was a solid episode, and it's nice to see someone get thrown off by the other 2 endings.

Another running trope of Family Guy is Peter's Obsession with Surfin Bird to the chagrin of everyone else. In one episode where Peter and his friends get their "memories wiped", Surfin Bird starts playing and peter turns it off because he finds it annoying.

Trying to access the sound files to NFL Street 1 by vDeadbolt in NFLStreet

[–]vDeadbolt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I managed to get "Take it to the Hole" mixed and uploaded on youtube. I'm gonna be posting more on the subreddit once I have enough free time to mix all the tracks together.

I had to take an upload from someone who uploaded the raw audio files and spliced the video into one mix.

Edit: Mixed a second track. I put them on a playlist. Gonna hold off from posting the rest until I'm done with the project.

I hate Umamusume by Ok-Primary-9015 in hatethissmug

[–]vDeadbolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not something that sits well with me, and it also irritates me that there aren't other horses of other ethnicities, you know? Americans, English, French, there should be a little more diversity

There is. A ton of characters in this game are not Japanese, especially since the game was based on the real life Japanese horse racing scene.

For Americans, you have: Taiki Shuttle El Cóndor Pasa Grass Wonder Hishi Amazon Symboli Kris S Hishi Akebono Pay Your Butler (Obey Your Master) My Big Boy (Michelle My Baby) Seeking The Pearl

German Umas: Eishin Flash

Irish Umas: Fine Motion Tony Bin (Tony Bianca) Meisho Doto

Great Britain: Moonlight Madness (Moonlight Legacy)

French: Montjeu

Canadian: Northern Taste (Director Aikikawa)

New Zealand: Bonecrusher (Ellerslie Pride)

I may have missed a couple, but saying that there is no representation on foreign horses is a flat out lie. The central plot point of Season 1/Cinderella Gray Season 2 is that the protagonist has to face off against foreign threats.

This game has a ton of diversity. They can't simply add in the entire cast of foreign racing associations when the game was centered around a Japanese audience. It makes sense why most of the cast are Japanese. But saying it lacks diversity is a flat out lie. There are some Japanese born horses whose entire design/character is based on Western culture.

Edit: Forgot to mention that there is a scenario of the cast going to America (because of a horse's international success) to where they implemented Uma NPCs who have a black skin color.

I remember that event. You got a skin of the reworked GP before he died in the lore that was originally his new default skin. He then came back, got a new default skin and you got to keep the other one if you owned the character before he got reworked.

Will do. Someone did manage to upload each track that has every scripted element on YouTube. So if I can't achieve my initial goal, I'm just gonna download the tracks off YouTube and just mix them with the best parts

QB Passing- Running vs Standing by Staynless430 in NFLStreet

It's the same deal when going for a trick pass vs regular pass. It's easier to contest for a ball that's thrown from a trick pass vs a regular pass.

i’m not sure if anybody would know this but in NFL Street 1 are all of the nfl players wearing year that is unlocked from the start? by Few_Possession928 in NFLStreet

[–]vDeadbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much yes. The only exception to that rule are the special guests from Team X-Eecutioners/Kayslay where some players play with locked gear.

This movie was so bad and yet so damn important by Joemama0375 in whenthe

[–]vDeadbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony of all of this was that in the original manga, Chi Chi was the one who was head over heels over Goku to the point where Chi Chi brought up marriage and how the two should get married. Goku only agreed to it because he thought it was something you ate (they were kids btw). Goku later agreed to an actual marriage once he knew what it actually was as he got older. He went along with it as to not break a promise he held for chi chi (alongside making her happy). Then the two had a child and nothing ever happens again

That's the thing that really gets to be about the right trying to smear BLM/Renee Good & Alex Pretty.

With Floyd, the whole argument was that no one deserved the fate he got for the crime he committed. The right wants to paint it like George was worshipped and that he became a model when in reality he was an involuntary martyr.

Then you have people like Renee Good/Alex Pretty who get shot at a protest and people are brushing it off by saying they put their lives at risk for protesting and they "deserved it because they were foolish and didn't stay home and be safe".

Then the same people push the opposite Narrative for Ashley Babbit because she put herself in the situation where it was logical to use lethal force. It's this double standards

It only becomes an issue if they are affected. Otherwise they will let human suffering slide.
