I don't think Switch cartridges can write data, it's all saved on the system itself. Not sure about an SD card or some such.

Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else.

Ever since I realized that most games phone in their endings because the average player doesn't make it that far, it feels like I can just see the quality drop as I approach any given game's end game. This is especially true for games' stories (even stories that are really good/interesting for the first 90% often fuck up the dismount) but it even creeps into the gameplay pretty often, and it really hurts the experience to end on a sour note all the time.

To me an AA breakdown implies that they're the culprit, or at least an uncooperative witness or maybe a rival lawyer who just got a devastating loss. By that standard Engarde wins this by a mile.

But since we're counting Franziska here I think I'm going to toss her a pity vote. It's one of her only moments where I feel like you get to see what she's actually like, behind her cold perfectionist facade.

I mean, admittedly I haven't played the game in over 8 years, I definitely could be remembering wrong. But also, I have my write-ups saved from when I did play it and my comments for that scene are all things like:

-they cannot seriously be blaming luke for this can they

holy crap

-Luke: Wh-why?! Why are you all blaming me?!

protip they're not explaining that because the writers couldn't think of a good reason either

So I don't think it's a memory issue, it's possibly just a... completely different interpretation of the scene issue? I don't know how that would happen but I also have comments like:

luke isn't actually a jerk (except to mieu), it's just everyone else that acts like he is for no apparent reason.

So, you know. Sometimes I think I just played a completely different Tales of the Abyss than other people did.

Ion also was hesitant (oddly thinking to this point you can't do anything at the passage rings), and he does acknowledge his own blame for what happens!

And then Anise just brushes it off to blame Luke some more! If the party had ganged up on Ion too I don't think I'd have nearly as much of an issue with that scene. They wouldn't have had to stay mad at him but an initial "what the hell Ion?" would have made their treatment of Luke much more reasonable.

between Van's release from prison to Akzeriuth, Van is with the party for a single scene - Jade (noting it uncomfortable to speak in front of Van) makes a plan to send a decoy ship while travelling by land and Van just says I'mma go on that decoy ship and Jade responds "k, not like I have a choice". Guy & Tear are the only other non-Lukes in this scene and they don't say anything (Tear's only lines are "Van..." and "Colonel...")

the next time you see Van is alone as Luke & Ion

IIRC during this Baticul-Akzeriuth portion Luke's criticized for not deciding anything by himself and just doing whatever Van says

Okay fair, I remembered it being a bit more than that. I think if you're Luke in that situation though it's not exactly a repudiation of Van's character that will outweigh your prior experiences with Van that make him seem trustworthy. If they had turned around after he left and said "alright, with our hated enemy gone, what's our REAL plan?" then maybe Luke would have been less gullible.

But then maybe not, like Ion went along with it too and he really should have known better.

Not to mention, IIRC, Van was under arrest when they run back into him. So Van was already showing signs of who he truly was and Luke just acts like an idiot and blindly believes him.

He is, but I'm pretty sure the whole group decides to work with him immediately after that. Like IIRC even people like Tear and Jade are on decent terms with Van immediately prior to Akzeriuth, to the extent that they worked together with him to plan their next moves. (It doesn't make a whole lot of sense why they were okay with this but *shrug*)

Pretty sure Luke still had educators and tutors, and threw a fit that they were boring and all he wanted to do was train with Van.

I don't recall this but I believe you. It could have been an unwillingness to learn more than Luke not having the resources that Estelle did. But as with Estelle, you're still going to end up sheltered and ignorant if you spend your whole life in a single building, regardless of your education there.

TheRock1525 posted...

How many times did Tear protect Luke's dumb ass when he wouldn't fight back early in the story?

I don't recall so you'll have to tell me!

But I do remember the game starting with Tear breaking into Luke's house to kill Van, who at this point is Luke's friend and mentor, and Luke forgiving her for this almost immediately.

It's not like an Estellise level of ignorance and sheltered life where, at the very least, she wants to help everyone she can.

I haven't played the game in years but I remember Luke being significantly more sheltered than Estelle? She at least read books about other places. Luke was so sheltered he didn't know what a store was.

(Also I will die on the hill that Luke consistently treated other people better than they treated him, even before his character development.)

I've always thought Star Fox 64 executed its story extremely well. There are lots of really cool moments, some genuine intrigue, and almost all the characters are likeable and do well in their roles. And it does almost all of it during gameplay, with hardly any cutscenes and zero exposition dumps.

Im not trying to argue Im genuinely confused, your definition seems the same as mine?

The definition you posted in post 391 is the philosophical sense of "absolute", like absolute morals vs moral relativity. My take is that that isn't applicable to a statement like "they're both absolute liars" which is just using it in the more casual sense.

If we use wiktionary ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/absolute ) which I feel does a better job distinguishing between the two, it's like definition 5 (one of several regular ass uses for the word) vs. 7 (narrow philosophical use)

I don't know if I'm explaining this effectively. I don't really think you're wrong about Biden, in any case. Maybe singling him out semi-unfairly but not wrong.

---

Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else.

If this is your take, how and why do you agree with Red?

I only agree with him insofar as we both think you had the wrong definition of absolute, lol

Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else.

Lots of good choices here. Ema, Judge, Gumshoe, Lang, and Badd are all top tier characters.

...I hate to vote against Ema but I think it's Gumshoe for this one.

Actually Gumshoe is winning by a bunch already so Ema it is!

---

Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else.

Again FWIW, my take on this is that they are both absolutely (read: certainly, unquestionably, unconditionally) liars and that that doesn't imply they lie equally often or that they tell equally large lies, because it's obvious that Trump lies more often and more outrageously. I have no issue with fuming's post I just don't think the philosophical definition of "absolute" is meaningful here.

Ideally we'd have non-liar presidents but again lmao.

---

Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else.

Peak Board 8 is going to the dictionary to settle an argument only to then disagree about what the definition means.

(FWIW I think I'm with red here -- that definition is not saying what you think it is. In fact I don't even think that definition applies here at all.)

We should obviously want non-liar presidents but lmfao I'm not holding my breath.

I do agree with this, but in the sense of changing the minds of independents/disaffected democrats. Conservatives I just don't think it makes any difference at all.

Yeah, conservatives hate leftists for very obvious reasons that they're happy to tell anyone who will listen, and those reasons have 0% to do with anything any leftist has ever actually done. The idea that conservatives only hate leftists because leftists are mean to them is a complete fabrication.

That being said, "everyone in [red state] is stupid/evil/shitty/whatever" is a shockingly common and extremely bad position, and I'm happy to see pushback against it in this topic.
