Michiko. Any woman that can pierce Cotton Hill's heart is a top tier waifu.

Unlike most CEmen, Wataru could actually provide for her and her son, and he didn't mind that she had a child from another relationship.

Which is to say, he's better than most CEmen.

Really differs. Like, I could probably translate some doraemon comics for you reasonably quick but I'd need about an hour to translate a handful of seinen 4koma.

It's Japanese (in text form, primarily) that's the challenging part.

Like, just entry level speaking, you'll learn several variations of "I, me" speaking that have different levels of formality. But when reading and writing, you'll also have de aru introduced which is an even more formal version of that and besides narrators and one of the guards that follows Flynn around from tales of vesperia, you'll never hear anyone speak like that. While it's easy enough to get that, that's also entry level knowledge. Look up a kanji database and study how certain characters (kanji and otherwise) preceding or following kanji can change them entirely. Hence why I am better at following along by listening rather than reading the dialogue in games.

PM me. If it's not too long I'll give you a rough translation.

Is translating really that hard?

There's a handful of puns that involve reading a kanji in either of its potential readings. And the way they're read isn't like read (past tense) and read (present tense) but could be like, (person's name, a flower, close companion). Then factor in the cultural differences and phrases that don't translate well or at all, and it can be very difficult to convey a lot of things even for short text excerpts.

I can only really make do in games if they're full of katakana and hiragana, dating sims I can somewhat follow but only by audio. Text wise, it is a very time intensive task to actually learn.

No item hunts in the game compare to the nightmare that is obtaining a Danjuro. I got one only once by divine intervention (truly: I told myself that this was the last attempt I was ever going to make getting one, and it actually dropped from the very last Larva Eater I fought), and I will never try again. If I want to use it again, I kept a backup file of that playthrough just before the Yiazmat fight.

Aren't they one of those enemies you can't even use the zone in/ out method to rapidly kill for the loot? Dustia chaining lets you do it, and I did the same with that nightmare rare spawn in the necrohol. But I know a few outright refused to ever go that close to the edge of the map so you couldn't grab their loot and zone out to reset them back to life.

There were 4 chests

The elixir chest in the palace (one time only visit)
One inside the nalbina prison room where you get your inventory back (one time only visit)
One outside old dahlan's house
One in the 16 chest formation on the phon coast (which also directly links to the 16 chest formation you'd find the spear in, since you can only open one for either location and the other would disappear, going for dark matters or knots of rust was the preferred one for yiazmat 1-3 hit kills via rust dark matter overflow abuse)

So basically, you just have to avoid 3 early game chests and one that appears in the area after the salikawood which grants access to the necrohol.

You actually gain access to the salikawood and necrohol around the time you gain access to the Paramina Rift. Not that anybody would reasonably head that direction unless they backtracked to finish some hunts after getting there. I can't remember if the moogles block you from entering via the nabreus deadlands or not but yeah. That's the earliest you can technically enter there to grab it.

I felt like the Zodiac Spear was nice to have but you didn't really needed it to beat even the game's hardest bosses like Zodiark and Yazmat. Same as the Tournesol.

Yagyy darkblade, the masamune I think, and I threw a seitengrat on the ranged person who I'd manually control to toss out items.

But I also assigned roles to those who had the best stats and animation times for such things. For certain things like gun attack animations, the difference between the fastest and slowest animations (which ultimately affected how fast they could attack) was like 0.4 seconds. That adds up, especially against some of the damage sponges you'd face.

and even if you didnt open it the ultimate weapon could only be found at the end of the games optional dungeon in a treasure chest that only had a 4% chance of giving you the weapon anyway because treasure chests in the game can give you either a common item or a rare item

So much RNG in the game and the new version is even worse.


The zodiac version of the game is so much easier, even in the ps2 version where everyone only got to pick one job. The drop rates are about the same but chests are nominally buffed in consistency, and the x2 speed made resetting areas for chest farming so much faster. In the zodiac age, the x4 speed was so much better to that effect, and grinding in general except against rare spawns and the like that required specific strategies to defeat

isn't the ultimate weapon in that game obtainable by opening chests throughout the game in the correct order?


IIRC it was by not opening certain chests you needed to do

like there were certain treasure chests all over the map that you couldnt open otherwise it became impossible to get the ultimate weapon

and even if you didnt open it the ultimate weapon could only be found at the end of the games optional dungeon in a treasure chest that only had a 4% chance of giving you the weapon anyway because treasure chests in the game can give you either a common item or a rare item


It wasn't the ultimate weapon in vanilla, but it was the strongest thing most players could get without doing the hunts that, as you received the weapons AFTER, made it redundant since there wasn't much left to use them against and the best weapons against yiazmat were hell on earth just to spawn the rare monsters that dropped them

In vanilla, the Henne mines chest has a 10% chance to spawn, a 10% chance of containing an item, and a 10% chance of containing the zodiac spear (1/1000 chance) IF you had the diamond armlet equipped. If you didn't, it will never come from that chest

In the zodiac versions, it has a 1% chance of spawning the chest but it always contains the zodiac spear (no idea if it is affected by diamond armlet or not)

There's people who legit (ie no RNG or frame abuse) got 2 and one even got 5 through this method on the vanilla xii boards. Somebody else abused frames and stuff trying to get a 99 full inventory of all items in the game you can get multiple copies of, and that was pretty terrifying even if you RNG abused for the things

Never mind the fact that the ones who steal my crap don't even pay rent and that they fill the fridge and freezer with their food stamp food all the time, meaning I don't even get to use fridge space for much more than sitting in some leftover pizza that I'll finish the next day.

Look at it like this: communism has the best chance of working in the US because we can't invade there or create harmful policy to intentionally slight our ability to import and export goods. I mean, unintentionally, sure, just look at trump's tariffs that harmed us. But trump is a capitalist and was seeking financial harm to allies, and not even in retaliation to anything they had done. Communists would have no such need for that sort of a retaliation.

communism

work


Neither does capitalism.

Look at all the homeless people, people who don't own their home and all the unused houses.

Or all the starving people and people who will face hunger at some point in their life and then look at all the food that's destroyed rather than donated or used at all. Plus look at the tons of fruits and veggies tossed out because they don't meet the beauty standards for ideal shapes, sizes, etc. Banana not long enough and too thick? Trashed. Carrot is lumpy and has two roots? Tossed out. Massive farm produced too much milk? Government pays the farmer to dump it to keep prices shown. Smaller farm produces too much milk? Government will fine them if they don't dispose of the excess immediately, won't even allow them to process the milk into other products or donate it.

But go on about how communism doesn't work.

Ah, so I say something and I'm raging, you continue to defend his lines and say he shouldn't be fired, you're not raging. You say and imply stuff pretty damn clearly, and deny any possible reading of such as wrong, but can pick up things from my posts that literally aren't even suggested.

Whether Disney knew or not still isn't the point and you're fucking great at missing that. It created bad PR, they fired a guy. End of story unless you think that rape jokes are acceptable.

Here's how feminism works, it's like a switch pad. Off is "be complicit in women being oppressed" and on is "active and vocal feminist". To be passive as a feminist is to ultimately be passive in preventing the oppression of women. I'm sure you like that "pick your battles" line or that "learn to compromise" bs. Know what happens when you compromise where side A says "women are objects and don't deserve full human rights or bodily autonomy" and side B says "women are people and deserve equal rights and full bodily autonomy"? The compromise is that you have women not actually have equal rights or full autonomy. Basically? Shut the fuck up and stop defending a rape joke making guy because he made some shitty movies you like, stop deflecting with "but Disney knew" and stop assuming that because somebody is a woman, a feminist AND vocal about it, that they must be a troll. Unlearning oppressive views is going to be difficult and hurt, which is why you clutch your pearls so much whenever you get called out for being a terrible human being. Instead, listen and consider "oh, is it possible that maybe I AM defending the guy who made rape jokes and in doing so, while I might insinuate I'm not defending rape jokes, I'm ultimately complicit in saying that people who do such things should not be punished and that ultimately might greenlight people to make such jokes in the future" or something like that.

What's your limit, what's too long to hold somebody accountable for their actions? 1 year? 3? 5?

So what you're saying is that he made offensive comments during the hiring process in which Disney was scrutinizing him and saw no issues until 6 years later?

He'd never have been hired had he not made them in the first place, and holding somebody accountable is hardly "revenge" when there was zero reason for his actions to begin with and he never bothered to delete them or have an assistant or whatever do so for him. He had the means but never considered it and it's precisely that lack of foresight that caused this, not "revenge".

Oh I'm quite serious, you can draw a parallel without having to make it a direct 1:1 comparison. It's actually hilarious you'd say I'm not being serious when you're the one angry he got fired but also think it's acceptable he said those things.

What you said earlier in the quote block is that I am offended by rape jokes. Go back and read what you said. It implied I don't get the humor.

And that's a bull shit excuse. They knew some of what he had said before was offensive but here's the thing, they still could punish him for what they knew upon further inspection. And the fact that it came up AND generated backlash for Disney AND showed that they had hired a person they would never have had they known the extent of his offensive nature? Fuck him, he deserves to be dropped as he never deserved to be hired.

Now then it says via google that guardians 1 released in 2014, but teasers and filming would have started by late 2012, meaning he was on board by then. That's a fuck of a lot different than "stuff from a decade ago" with respect to that point in time. It would have been 5 years and much more recent. What's your limit, what's too long to hold somebody accountable for their actions? 1 year? 3? 5?

but if that's what you care about more than the guy joking about rape, yore priorities are backwards.

This is completely nonsense. I don't think he should have made those jokes what 10 years ago? I don't see why not thinking he should be fired over them is virtuous in any way, though.

This is assuming we live in a world where you're not allowed to joke about rape.

I'm with George Carlin on this.

I brought it up because you said it was Disney incompetence that he got away with saying it as long as he had. As a follow up to their incompetence, they responded properly

Nah.

And turning empathy into a pissing contest right after saying I don't get comedy because I don't "get" rape jokes seems counterintuitive and hypocritical.

When did I ever say you don't get comedy because you don't like/"get" rape jokes? At no point in this topic have I defended his jokes, just the idea that he shouldn't have been fired for

A) jokes

B) jokes that happened before he was hired in the first plac


You CAN make rape jokes, you can drink and drive, you can cannibalize your loved ones. You probably shouldn't do any of the above though, and you'll have only yourself to blame when your actions come back to haunt you.

Yeah.

And "I get jokes offend you" seems an awful lot like you're implying I don't 'get' the humor. It's tacitly implied that I don't "get" the humor of rape jokes. And it doesn't matter when he made the jokes, he didn't bother scrubbing them and it generated bad press for his employer. *shrugs* your paradigms seem a bit incompatible at times.

It really is.


I get that jokes upset you, but why is it weird to you that a lot of other people think that a good director being allowed to make movies people like is more important than firing him because he made offensive jokes? Why does thinking this make people bad to you?

gunplagirl posted...
I never said you said they couldn't.

Then what was the point in bringing it up?

gunplagirl posted...
Maybe don't shove words in my mouth, and maybe acquire some empathy instead of defending the guy who made rape jokes?

I haven't shoved anything in your mouth. And I have more empathy than you.


It's one thing if you're concerned for the future of the movies but if that's what you care about more than the guy joking about rape, yore priorities are backwards. Refer to my original post for when I said as much.

I brought it up because you said it was Disney incompetence that he got away with saying it as long as he had. As a follow up to their incompetence, they responded properly. I was reiterating that ultimately it doesn't matter if they were incompetent before, and provided a similar example of employers being incompetent in the hiring process.

And turning empathy into a pissing contest right after saying I don't get comedy because I don't "get" rape jokes seems counterintuitive and hypocritical.

Like, if you're more obsessed with your movies than the guy joking about rape you're selfish for one,

I think the point of that joke was how horrible rape is... I don't think he was making a genuine argument about a redeeming quality of rape. I don't think this particular tweet should be an issue.


You don't see how that is even worse? "Let's take the pragmatic approach to rape. Pros: babies for Jesus" is a pretty common one of those arguments. And it's total trash.

Forgive me if you are being genuine, but I don't think you're being genuine. Good day.


You don't believe that somebody could be offended by jokes about rape feeling good or which Disney character would be worst to be raped by?

Honestly, it's probably in everyone's best interest to go through their social media and review their old posts

I do it on the reg.

What do you tweet about? Besides retweeting my porn star friends new shoots and replying to my music and journalist friends polls I never tweet.

Literally isn't. You over-reacting to everything.

People lie on their resumes and get fired because of that. Even if it's incompetence on the employers part, they have the right to fire him for these jokes.

Did I ever say Disney isnt allowed to fire him?

And of course you hate feminism, you probably think women are more powerful than men in society.

I don't hate feminism and don't think women are more powerful than men in society.

You sure like to assume everything (in the most negative light, obviously) about people who dislike you.


It really is.

People being more angry that their movies are ruined than that the guy made such shitty "jokes"

People upset that he got fired for this stuff (especially when one of the jokes was about Disney characters)

Like, if you're more obsessed with your movies than the guy joking about rape you're selfish for one, you're why rape culture is alive and thriving, and you're why we need feminism.

I expected the usual suspects to object but some of the posters in this topic being angry he got fired is a surprise. Heck. Darkjedilink is defending the firing, and he's normally on the side defending offensive things


Shut the fuck up.


I will when you stop being an irredeemable edgelord. I won't hold my breath.

To be fair I think most people are assuming that he was joking, still fucked up and in terrible taste though. Not trying to defend anything here but this is what I'm guessing.


Sounds like their sense of humor is garbage.
