Topic	Do you support Puerto Rican statehood?
ellis123 11/01/25 10:50:37 PM #9	Giacomo_Hawkins posted... I leave that to Puerto Ricans to decide. To my recollection, no vote listing all three options (statehood, independence, or status quo) has managed to garner more than 50 percent of the vote so I'm okay with the status quo until that happens. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/9bd315b9.png That is the most recent one from 2024. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

Topic	Anime and Other Stuff General V202: Cats are liquid!
ellis123 11/01/25 3:54:39 PM #177	kirbymuncher posted... It's an entirely different aspect of the situation and honestly I think you are just totally missing the point here. AI subtitling would be about the quality of the text and translation itself while this article is entirely about other aspects, such as layout, placement, subtitle tracking, etc Basically in summary it talks about how the standardization away from an anime-specialized tool towards a general subtitling tool, as pushed by netflix and amazon prime, is trashing the one major thing crunchyroll had that made its subtitles look so much nicer than everyone else in the business. because they're being dragged towards using a subtitling tool and format that may work okayish for live action but is not great in anime, which has a much higher amount of on-screen text. It's the subtitling process that gets you garbage like this I realize that. It, however, doesn't change the statements I made. The loss of people was to shift over to AI, the change in software was because the old one wasn't going to use AI, etc. Yes, one can come up with other reasons for any of the singular aspects, such as money related ones being the reason for staff being let go, but it doesn't change the fact that so many of the changes also relate directly to their AI push. The fact that the article doesn't go over that as much is more a failing on the article's part than me not understanding what they are saying. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

It leads on simple bad writing with stuff like the whole "the MC switches to a sword because these specific bugs are immune to it and doesn't switch back because the writers wanted him to have a sword the whole time" and ends on "Lol, best hope you didn't like basic continuity from about 30 minutes ago." --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

Topic	A supermajority of gen 1 pokemon lines have gotten new forms/evos
ellis123 10/31/25 6:38:14 PM #24	Calwings posted... I still wouldn't count it though, since those forms were clearly designed alongside their originals while that gen was being created. It's not the same as a new evolution or form being designed separately from the originals and added later on. While Gamefreak were designing Magmar for gen 1, I strongly doubt they were thinking what its evolution would look like in gen 4. While they were designing Ampharos for gen 2, I strongly doubt they were thinking about a mega evolution coming in gen 6. But while they were designing Shaymin for gen 4, they were clearly creating both of its forms at the same time and basing them off each other at the conceptual level. Likewise with Diancie and its mega evolution in gen 6. That's the difference IMO. We have already established that you wouldn't count it, which is irrelevant to me saying the opposite. Whether you add on other unsubstantiated rationale is irrelevant. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome? Thweeet!" My FC is in my profile.
Topic	A supermajority of gen 1 pokemon lines have gotten new forms/evos
ellis123 10/31/25 6:12:10 PM #17	Calwings posted... That new form debuted in the same gen that Shaymin did, so I don't think we can call it a "new" form so much as a form it came with right out of the box. I thought about saying Mega Diancie, but it's the same situation as Sky Form Shaymin. Both Diancie and its mega debuted in the same gen. Same Gen, sure, but not the same game so it wasn't really "out of the box" for anyone who played during that Gen. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

ellis123 10/30/25 1:58:58 AM #36	action52 posted... As I said, this is not a sustainable system. History shows what will happen to the wealthy elites if they push things too far. The only question is if they will change the easy way (like progressivism in the early 20th century) or the hard way (like France in the late 18th century). We already have a large chunk of the population that will go to bat for them even in the middle of getting screwed over.

Topic	What's worse; a game that is Too Easy or Too Hard?
ellis123 10/29/25 4:35:41 PM #95	eaglei3 posted... If we are arguing the extremes, I would think a game is too easy would have no way of making it harder. I am talking about a game being too easy to the point that all you have to do is hit a button when the game requires it. How do you make that harder? You can't, the game has you do the easiest of inputs to win. You cannot lose as the game just waits for you. That is where that argument is going if you do both extremes like the other person is trying to start with the "too" hard logic. That is the visual novel genre. Unsurprisingly, it is a genre that has no troubles sticking around because the logical extreme of "too easy" isn't actually a meaningful label in the same way that "too hard" is. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

ellis123 10/29/25 11:36:20 AM #76	kirbymuncher posted... I don't think this is totally true, you can enjoy something you have no chance of ever beating If you are still having fun then it is merely just hard. It becomes "too hard" once you no longer have the ability to have fun. The fact that you eventually will get walled in a hard game, thus turning it from "hard" to "too hard", doesn't really change that fact. The entire transition hinges upon the point at which you go "yeah, this ain't happening" and no longer finding the grind enjoyable.

Those moments don't seem to translate too well in the anime cause, well, they're boring, and anime is a dynamic visual medium. I think taking frieren off the page just causes it to lose those moments that make the manga amazing. Animating them doesn't remove them. It just puts them in motion. And go watch Kino's Journey.
