It's just that that got drowned out by Barbiehimer. Speaking of, Barbie has it's own discourse but it's exclusively from the far right because of course. Funny man Ben Shapiro spent like $100 to buy Barbie toys and burn them. Really owning the libs with that. 12 minutes ago, Capt.

Lightchao42 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Cold Steel IV's bonding events continue to be good. (Act 3-2) Spoiler Scarlet is basically the only major character from the first two Cold Steel games who hasn't shown up (and Duke Cayenne but he's in jail), so it's nice to hear what she's up to. It was nice that the other ILF members get acknowledged as well. Once again foiling Gilbert's attempt at taking over a settlement (and him getting fried by Campanella for it yet again) was fun, but who was expecting a swimming quest against Shirley? I'm guessing one of the developers modeled Shirley in a bikini in their free time, and the rest of the development team added the swimming quest after they saw it.

Acacia Sgt Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Okay, it's final dungeon time! Okay, preparations done. Time to do this! For my final party, I'm taking Olivier and Kloe. Can't go without best guy and girl, after all. You can consider this a royal treat, hehehe... Well then, it's on!

Acacia Sgt Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Okay, reached the third level. Man, this place is long. Knowing about the forced split nature of FC and SC, this gives me more vibes of... hmm, what should I compare it with. I suppose like Venus Lighthouse from Golden Sun would be an apt comparison (except the music isn't as epic), but it also gives me vibes of the Ocean Palace from Chrono Trigger. Ah well. Tomorrow I'm sure I'll be finishing this! If not, then definitely on Thursday. ... sure, why not...

Sooks Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Oh, apparently TotK imports your horses from BotW. Too bad I don’t remember you guys. And they both seem like bad horses considering they’re spotted and not solid color, which the tutorial girl implies is a worse horse (I mean I’m assuming my first one is spotted cause I named them Spot, which it actually would have been really funny if me from a few years ago named a solid colored horse Spot), so rip. I feel like this game would be slightly more enjoyable if I actually finished Breath of the Wild, like so far I at least vaguely remember everyone but when I get to the Gerudo part I know I’m gonna be like “oh god who are you guys again”. But it’s alright, it’s not that big a deal. There are seemingly a lot of presumably missable main quests. Like any time I walk up to someone with any vague relation to the plot with an exclamation point with their dialogue, they trigger a quest I never would have gotten otherwise but it’s logged as a main quest (okay it’s only happened twice but still). I will say tho, that first dragon tear cutscene thing was cool as hell. In other news, the hateno dye place is still in this game, or at least that’s implied by the stable ledger. Unfortunately it’ll probably be forever until I make it there, even tho it’s the best. And according to this one NPC, I have to go to Eldin to do stuff with those Bubbul frog collectibles, which means I’m also not doing that for a while. Hooray open world (help I started either the express goal of completing three specific shrines, I played for three hours and I only did one of them, also it’s 1 am). 3 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Olivier and Kloe Based based based Also good for gameplay, arts are way better than than physical stuff in these games.

Oh yes, I've noticed. Well, if I get like a preemptive strike and there's only like, one or two enemies, I just wail on them with physical attacks. But if not, then White Gehenna goes brrrrrr. XD Speaking of, I think the only thing that actually irks me of this game is the whole "party walks in a row and if an enemy touches anyone not the leader, it's a surprise attack". Since specially with a full party the line can get long, so even with Haze you better hope the enemy doesn't stray and bumps into the party line, specially on narrow corridors.

Not absolutely gamebreaking or anything, but pulling music from more unknown games raises the probability that the player will not recognize it and think of it as "of your hack", so to speak 8 hours ago, Capt. Fargus said: Golden Axe comes to mind Here's one that would be perfect for a FE game somewhere Yeah that sounds good. Never heard of this Golden Axe, though, I don't think.

Certainly, but you've shared before screencaps of people just going "I can't believe they did this, I hate this, how could they do this" at an anime development, stuff that harms exactly nobody. Then you mock them to oblivion and say we have to gatekeep. I won't lie, every time it kinda peeves me. Not everyone who dislikes an anime, or anime tropes, or whatever wants to place the heads of Japanese artists on their mantle. And for the ones that do, the solution there is to push back / ban people who do shit like what you say. Not keep every single new person that might be interested in a piece of media from enjoying it out of fear of assholes. The existence of assholes is not everyone else's fault, not to mention that's how you kill an industry. So yeah. I don't believe gatekeeping is a necessary evil, I in fact think gatekeeping's wrong. Let people try out whatever they like, and if they don't like it, that's too bad. When and if they end up being dicks to someone for it, then it's wrong, but not before. Anyway, I don't want to cause a bad vibe. It just irritates me a bit when you drop that "gatekeeping is a necessary evil" line. I apologize if I misinterpreted anything. 41 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: yeah, no, these people aim for positions in the industry and change stuff to fit their agenda. Somehow I doubt every rando yelling on Twitter is going to become the next Hollywood mogul. Again, if someone's in an important position in the industry and is irresponsibly yelling obscenities at other artists, then yeah, that person's a jerk and doesn't deserve their position. But people expressing a negative opinion about a piece of media is not wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't talk about something you love without someone calling you names and/or harassing you.

This is what's happening, not "trying something new". Well, yes. I agree with you that this is all bad stuff. I just don't really think gatekeeping is the solution. These people are a vocal minority. On a different note, how do you propose to gatekeep, exactly? Because you can't go into people's houses and force them at gunpoint not to watch anime. How do you "gatekeep" media? There's no actual gate you can close to keep the outside out lol 16 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Not happening. Harrassment breaks the ToS of like, every social media that ever existed. If that's not enforced, that's the platform's fault, not the fault of every potential good fan, enjoyer or whatever else that's getting screwed over by gatekeeping. Report those people and offer some kind words to the artist, but preemptively going after everyone because they might be dicks just isn't fair.
