Which in retrospect is also kinda funny because Soras keyblade isnt even really regarded as being anything special. The Kingdom Key D, No Name, and Masters Defender are more regarded for their uniqueness.

Well, right, that's partially what I mean. It doesn't ever really imply Sora's Keyblade is THE keyblade, or particularly unique or special. It's just that keyblades, themselves, have special innate properties, over, say, random swords/etc., like what Leon has, for example.

Even then, we have all this talk about "The Keyblade" throughout the game

I don't think it ever implies the "keyblade" is a single, solitary weapon. Just that it's a particularly special/important weapon.

I'll always maintain that KH's plot isn't actually all that complicated at all, if you can handle "CLONES!" and etc. from other series that have already been mentioned.

The main issue was how inaccessible the story used to be. Because it took place over so many games on so many systems, you HAD to have them all to complete the story. Now you don't. They've wisened up and included the whole story within like, two games, and now it's very easy to see it's not actually all that convoluted.

How severe is it?

Seizures in dogs could be a large number of things, some not so bad, others bad.

Hopefully this is on the "not so bad" side. Wishing all the best!

My boyfriend does a pretty mean Elvis, so we tend to just duet Elvis songs, even when they aren't duets.

I live in a gated community, which may explain why trick or treat was more high volume here, than in other places. You're less likely to get run over, here, because speedtrap cameras will probably catch the person doing so.

Nevermind, I read it wrong.

Personally, I had more kids hit my house than previous years. I started to get bored and cold sitting outside, since I was used to sitting outside for like, 30 minutes and getting nobody and just calling it, so I started giving extra pieces to kids who put more effort into their costumes, and even started handing candy to adults who were accompanying kids, just so I could run out and go inside.

This. That's pretty much all there is to it.

It should be up to Republicans to remove him not Democrats.

It is, to be fair. I believe that even if all 31 Democrats had voted to remove him, it still would have failed, since it wouldn't have been 2/3rds. Blaming Democrats for this is just more right wing rhetoric.

doesnt that say it wasnt AI?

It's Nic Cage saying he doesn't think it's AI because he doesn't fully understand AI. And thus, he calls it "CGI." He even says, in effect, "What I thought was happening didn't happen, so I don't know what was going on, there."

It was AI.

I respect this, to an extent, since if they vote to remove before a conviction, it sets a dangerous example that Republicans can follow.

This is assuming, of course, that if the investigation results in a conviction, they immediately vote to expel him.

Zionism, broadly, is the idea that there should be a state for Jews. However, with how convoluted and messy Israel's history has been, zionism and anti-zionism has been associated to stances far more specific than that.

Thanks! This helps. I'll do more research, myself, to better understand things.

I think the primary issue is, while these bugs definitely exist, a majority of people don't ever witness them. Or, if they do, do so in bearable amounts.

That's why people keep buying Pokemon games. It's not out of "brand loyalty" or anything, we've seen how quickly casuals will turn on a franchise. It's that... They get what they want out of the game, which is catching/battling Pokemon, and if they do witness bugs, for the majority, they're not gamebreaking.

Like, I'll be honest. I know the games crash, I don't doubt that. That said, I played through Scarlet, in its entirety, without a single crash. I haven't played the DLC, so maybe I'll get one there, who knows.

The best part of the Pokemon DLC is, if you don't care about the new areas or story, you don't have to buy the DLC. You can just trade/transfer the Pokemon in, like always.

To be fair about the enemy names, I don't think they changed them on a whim. They changed them only because they were improperly localized to begin with. For example, Yaridovich was always meant to be something closer to "Speardovich," to fit in with the idea of... All of Smithy's gang are named after weapons that the audience understands. Likewise, there were some enemies that were just straight up named incorrectly, such as Beezos. They were named "Shy Aways" in SMRPG, but... They already existed, and have been called Beezos since Mario 2.

I feel like they were mostly looking to fix things like that.

Multiversus. Im still hoping it returns better then ever.

I think it will. I like that they were willing to lose profits by taking it off the market in order to improve it.

Also, Larry the best Gym Leader period.

I fucking love Larry. His character makes so much sense and hits home so hard.

You could play through Gen 1 without ever noticing most bugs unless you already knew they were there. Can't speak either way for recent gens first hand, but from what I've heard it's things you notice just while trying to play normally. Huge difference.

To be fair, the fact you didn't notice them, to me, made some of them worse.

For example, a crash is a crash, yes, but a lot of games crash, and it's fairly commonplace.

In Gen 1, though, for example, you had moves that were supposed to raise your stats, but they actually LOWERED your stats... And you didn't even know it. You just assumed the Pokemon you were fighting was exceptionally tough, or that moves like Wrap were MEANT to be infinite, and so on.

This could just be "Older StealThisSheen" speaking, but nowadays, I'm more willing to accept a crash happening, since... As much as it sucks and shouldn't, these things happen in a lot of games, vs. me changing my strategy because a certain move appears to be working a certain way... Only to find out, years later... No, it was a bug, and I, basically, learned bad habits, based on that bug.

Solar_Crimson posted...

Gen 9 absolutely is buggy. So was Gen 1, but at least the majority of game-breaking bugs could not be found during regular play. In S/V, you're liable for the game to crash just by walking into the desert.

To be honest, I'd take the occasional crash over some Gen 1 things that weren't bugs, such as limited item space, having to change PC boxes or else you literally couldn't catch a Pokemon, and so on.

Also, there will be no greater bug to me in anything than stuff like Wrap being infinite in Gen 1. Which is an annoyance, in hindsight, but oh boy did it make me mad, just via the sheer number of trainers who had things that could Wrap you in scenarios you absolutely did not want it to happen, like Rock Tunnel.

As an adult, I easily know how to handle it. But as a kid... Oh geez.

DanKiller7 posted...

Favorite probably Capcom Vs SNK 2. Played the hell out of that on PS2 with my buds back in the day.

Oh geez, that game is so good, and I often forget it even exists. I bought it on a whim on GameCube for like, $5 on a discount at KB Toys, because I knew I liked Street Fighter, and I knew I liked KoF, and I saw characters from both on the back of the box. It ended up being one of my favorite games of all time.

Genuinely don't understand how someone could act this way.

I realize this will make me look very dumb, but I want to ask out of an honest request for education. I'm, admittedly, not the most worldly person when it comes to understanding what Zionism is, Jewish culture in general, etc.

Could you "explain this to me like I'm 5," for me? Which side is which, what's the aim, etc.? I legitimately want to learn. I see a lot of hate, there, but I don't fully understand it, and I'd like to.

but that's not edgy considering sherlock already deals with murder and mystery

gotta shift the genre entirely and put sherlock in things that make you want to vomit, that's what the real goal is

Sherlock Holmes becomes a Jpop producer who, when his biggest star gets sick right before her breakout concert, has to fill in.

I feel like you can think both Israel's actions AND Hamas's are evil. Neither give a shit about Palestinian lives. Like, this shouldn't be a "one or the other" kind of thing, specifically. This isn't a Russia/Ukraine deal.

First: Street Fighter 2 on SNES
Most Recent: Mortal Kombat 1
Favorite: Soulcalibur

So if Great Ace Attorney had waited a year they wouldn't have had to change Sherlock Holmes to Herlock Sholmes?

Probably, but they likely would have done that, anyway, given the type of humor for the series.

As of January this year, everything by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is, atleast.

I don't have a chance to watch the video until later, but does it show any of the dialogue that makes references to things? That's what I'm most curious about. I figured most of the rest of the dialogue would stay the same, but I mainly wonder if they'll change/update the references in any way. Like Para said, I'm curious about stuff like the Psychopath dialogue, or if Mario still thinks he's Bruce Lee, stuff like that.

I thought the complaint was that it didnt make sense because the story is spread about between like 7 trillion titles including mobile spin-offs

Also, this. It's not really that KH's story is that wildly hard to understand, it's just that they literally spread the story across a million games on a million systems.

Luckily, they have made it easier to follow via the collections/etc., lately.

The difference is that Metal Gear Solid and NieR are actually written well enough to be understood.

Eh, I'd argue against Metal Gear Solid being written "well." It's written in an understandable fashion, but that fashion is full of things like "nanomachines." Like, yeah, you may get... Okay, it was nanomachines. But does that truly make sense, and was it truly good writing?

TheDurinator posted...

It'll do well for a movie in the sense that most movies would kill to make a few hundred million dollars, but when your budget is a quarter of a billion that doesn't cut it.

Eh, I'd argue it "cuts it," it just doesn't exceed it. Even the worst performing Marvel movies still made money, just not as much as Disney hoped they'd make.

Probably David Spade, if only because he gets more work, and if I was gonna be one of them, I'd want to be more well off.

I don't believe we know much of anything about what's being changed or not, script-wise.

never really considered it could be confusing

Since "Yari" wasn't a real word to kid me, and there's not really anything similar to base it on, I mainly just said "Yar-doh-vich." That's probably why Speardovich seems fine to me, it's similar to how I said Yaridovich as a kid to begin with.

I never understood how to say "Yaridovich" as a kid, anyway, and I had no idea what it meant or why he wasn't named after weapons like the others.

The funny thing is that it likely was supposed to be Speardovich all along, since all of the other languages are basically that, and the NA localizer just screwed up.
