Topic	Anime/Other Stuff General V197 "Hashire sori yo..."
ellis123 05/17/23 1:38:44 PM #450	Calwings posted... Yep, that's a good way to put it. The subject in today's episode personally hit me really hard too, which made it even worse. I was also watching Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts on Wednesdays too, but I decided to switch to the English dub for that show and watch its episodes on Thursdays along with Dr. Stone (which I also watch dubbed). I tried watching Sacrificial Princess, but I couldn't get into it at all. It felt far too "cheap" and was largely just a not good version of a show I was already pretty loose around (last seasons The Tale of Outcasts). Wednesday is basically just Oshi no Ko -> Konosuba for me. If I want "popcorn" I'll just stick to Dead Mount Death Play as far as this season is concerned. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome? Thweeet!"

ellis123 05/17/23 1:21:52 PM #448	Calwings posted... Another Wednesday, another day where Oshi No Ko rips my heart out of my chest and then Konosuba gently and safely puts it back in. A very succinct way to put Wednesday, lol. Oshi no Ko does it in a very different way, but I definitely get the feels in a vein to how it was with Kaiji. Sort of this "Oh god" feeling when something uncomfortable happens. It definitely has something it wants to say and it isn't going to shy away from saying it. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome? Thweeet!"

Like I said, it's hard to me to explain how I feel while I'm watching this show and shortly after I finish each episode. My take on it is pretty similar. It very much has "big Trigger energy" but without actually understanding what made Trigger actually good and not just random noise/images.

ellis123 04/23/23 1:54:49 PM #61	Compsognathus posted... I'm not even sure it's all that rare. I think that a lot of the simplicity of authentic Mexican food, means it's super easy to fuck up, because if just one piece of the equation is done poorly it seriously hampers the whole thing. Compare that to Tex-Mex where it's a bit easier to compensate for if one piece gets botched. Traditional Mexican isn't that simplistic as a rule. Look at something like Mole or Cochinta Pibil for examples of that. Inversely it tends to be more introduced foods, such as the Lebanese Al Pastor, that tend to be the simplistic things that people think of with Mexican. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

He would never fight with Temenos. >:0 [LFAQs-redacted-quote] The problem is that breaking isn't really that hard when you want to do it. He is pretty reasonably #2/3 for breaking, but unless you are pretty desperate for a break just getting hits from Hikari/Throne/Oswald tends to be fine if you don't want to perma-break with Ochette. Tyranthraxus posted... You have to run through level 40 areas to get there though. The normal jobs are all in level 10 areas. To be fair it is trivially easy to go through high level areas in this game by just running away when you have the one Cleric passive. While none are near as easy to get as Inventor Armsmaster is one that you could easily get access to at an extremely low level if you know what you need for it (there are a couple of super easy rusted weapons to get that are available at any level). It's just that there is no way that you would ever get it normally on a first playthrough that fast without a guide, unlike with the "literally outside of a character's starting city" Inventor. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

Ye, he's pretty boned for mechanics. He'll eventually get a pretty lololol nuke for his second EX, but that really is more a bandage than something that really makes him compete for damage against the top options. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

He's complex in a fun way, the narrative that surrounds him is super compelling, etc. It's just that he is probably the single weakest combat character in the game + his day/night skills are probably the worst combo (getting people to follow you is a lot less busted when it's level locked, and inquisition is flavorful but super tedious for how little it gives overall). --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

ellis123 04/21/23 1:28:48 PM #12	Doe posted... I saw in someone's thread his villain is cartoonishly mustache-twirlingly evil which kinda turned me off His story as a whole is bizarrely badly written. He just has a set of mechanics that are great as a starting character. Doe posted... Idk, are you locked to your first party member like in 1? If not I guess it doesn't matter. Until you beat their story they are locked in. That said it's easy to get the stories done so you can "unlock" the slot fast. In any case I feel that Hikari (super strong in combat + having your "MC" be the dueler makes it more personal) and Throne (steal + strong fighter + right next to Inventor to make someone OP) are the two strongest starter characters. Afterwards I would say Osvald (strong AoE + Analyze + very useful alt-steal), Ochette (insanely versatile in combat due to monsters, but kind of worthless outside of it... also has a bug that makes her the best character by an insane margin), and Agnea (reasonable in combat, but has a useful alt-steal if you level her up) are the others I would seriously consider. Of the two you mentioned Partitio is absolutely the most fun + is super useful, but you are pretty "money hungry" if you actually want to get into merchant dank. Tenemos has a fun story + is a healer, but beyond his writing I would say he is one of the least compelling characters to use. One of his abilities is more of a bandage to him not innately being a DPS for solo run stuffs (until you get level 80+, at which point the game is over + you can get the best grinding follower) and the other one is more a super flavorful info gathering option that Hikari kind of dumps on outside of literally one point. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

ellis123 04/21/23 11:45:27 AM #16	KTG2 posted... I'm sorry is that true are people really out there collecting bugs and making them fight each other as a hobby o.o It was a thing in Japan a long time ago, yeah. No clue if it's a real thing nowadays. Piplup_Sniper posted... No. Bug fighting may have been popular but Tajiri in interviews has stated that he was aware of it but never participated in it. Capsule Monsters already had fighting as part of the concept and originally Pokmon was more like a traditional RPG. It wasn't until further in development that Pokmon started to be shaped up by Tajiri childhood of exploring nature and catching animals in which the concept of Pokmon as we know it today emerged from. But bug fighting was never part of that inspiration, when we turn to Tajiri's biography he started viewing Pokmon as these friendly creatures that are more like cats and dogs. Indeed in his biography he pretty much admits that he started to conceptualize Pokmon battles as two pet owners allowing their pets, in this case two dogs, to duke it out, not two bugs fighting one another. I know. I'm saying that trading was the reason that they did GB, and that battling became a secondary aspect as to why they really pushed the connection. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

Battling also came in as a major reason, something that was also popular with bug collectors, and that was the second thing thing they came up with that cemented it on the handheld. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

ellis123 04/20/23 8:29:15 PM #22	pickle posted... Melted butter and garlic, interesting. Garlic powder or minced or like... A clove diced and pan fried? Garlic powder is generally the best route. It incorporates the easiest and you are adding it to counteract the heat from the peppers, not be hot itself (buffalo sauce is made to be extremely mild). If you want to add texture through the garlic pan frying the diced cloves can work, though if you want to keep some of the garlic spice there are tubes of minced garlic that can work just as well (I have had the best luck with Korean brands) for texture. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?
