| cuttin_in_farm 08/14/21 10:13:03 AM #7 | I would say its like hugging. You have to be reactionary to what the other person is doing. So its not easy to explain. Unless youre puckering too much and making your lips hard as a result. Dont do that. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. |

| cuttin_in_farm 08/13/21 7:02:48 PM #54 | ChocoboMogALT posted... Why is Flamethrower when Fire Blast has 100% accuracy? In Pokemon you can usually choose to use 100% accurate moves or not. Fire Blast only has five uses. If an enemy actually uses an attack like sand attack or causes a sandstorm, now there should be risk because someone actually implemented purposely strategy. Missing should be an intentional mechanic. Not an innate one. marthsheretoo posted... Nah, the tradeoff between a stronger, less accurate attack and a weaker attack that's guaranteed to hit makes good tension/decision points. No it doesnt, imo. In Fire Emblem, I pretty much ONLY use iron weapons in the hardest difficulty because they are the only ones that wont miss. Theres no tension at all. Its just the game forcing you to use a specific tool instead. s0nicfan posted... Missing is fine as long as it's positional. So you can pretty much guarantee a 100% hit rate if you hit them from behind, but that means exposing your own back to the enemy. Or characters with shields get a higher miss rate if you decide to stand in front of them and attack directly at their shield. See, this is great to me. You should have to create the scenario in which you can dodge/miss. Not just have it be happening for no reason. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I am. Its games. Youre cherry picking. In actual combat, you can guard things too. Yet most rpgs have no way to guard without manually doing so. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. |

| cuttin_in_farm 08/13/21 5:30:39 PM #18 | BlueBoy675 posted... Missing is kinda essential in RPGs like Fire Emblem and the like. A lot of strategy and tough decision making is taken away when every attack is a guaranteed hit No its not. Make the game actually need strategy. Missing is basically tripping in Smash Brawl. Its one thing if theres terrain reason missing is possible. Or status ailments. Or attacks that specifically increase evasion. But there is zero benefit to even having a character have a 90% chance to hit something. Theres no strategy there. All that happens is you just do it again next turn and hope it hits. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. |

| cuttin_in_farm 08/13/21 3:02:14 PM #1 | Missing in RPGs. Specifically tactical or turn based ones. I feel like missing an attack serves no purpose other than to frustrate the player. Missing should only happen if the enemy does something to specifically affect accuracy like double team in Pokmon or hiding in forests in Fire Emblem. Without everyday moves being able to miss for no reason, actual dodge builds or tactics can be strengthened as a result. Be having an 85% chance to hit and it missing just because is stupid. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. |

| cuttin_in_farm 08/12/21 4:00:06 PM #38 | Calwings posted... What the fuck? No, this couldn't be farther from the truth. The vast majority of "casual" players in Pokemon, especially kids, are the types to only use direct attacking moves and see moves that don't do direct damage as worthless. After using so many attacking moves, almost all of them would eventually figure out that same-type moves do more damage, either by finding an NPC who mentions it (they do exist), finding out about it online or from someone else, or by figuring out themselves just by seeing that same-type moves look like they're doing more damage than they should.

| cuttin_in_farm 08/12/21 3:34:11 PM #29 | You nerds cant be serious. Most Pokemon players never use directly offensive moves. I assure you most casual players know nothing about STAB, nor is it common sense. An optional npc that doesnt even outright say it as an objective statistic is not the same as having a forced tutorial. I know yall study Pokemon and go online for it, but its not well advertised. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. |

I feel like this is assuming youd ever try using a different move besides the one listed as the strongest if there wasnt a type advantage. Like, I was giving Pokmon four fire moves just because I thought it made sense as a kid. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. |
| Topic | is "the characters are unlikable" a valid criticism |
| cuttin_in_farm 08/12/21 10:19:20 AM #52 | averagejoel posted... it's not clear at all. there's basically an infinite number of possibilities; including the writer showing that the people around the character are easily manipulated That will also be shown. Youre smarter than this. RWBY, a web show, is a great example of bad writing. The portrayal of certain characters is very clearly intended to show someone as a villain, but most of the audience views them as the only intelligent character trying to help, the writers intentions failed. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. |

| cuttin_in_farm 08/12/21 10:08:20 AM #49 | averagejoel posted... that is just flat-out false If a character gives a speech about how they are best fit for the job of leader, and the crowd cheers and the character constantly gets a pat on the back how their words changed people and exemplifies their leadership But to a reader/watcher, if the speech comes off as ignorant and privileged The writer clearly intended for the character to come off as charismatic and rootable.

| Topic | is "the characters are unlikable" a valid criticism |
| cuttin_in_farm 08/12/21 9:24:59 AM #42 | EndOfDiscOne posted... Just because a character is a terrible person, doesnt mean theyre unlikeable. This is the main distinction. Glorious Bastard is a trope for a reason. Theres a difference between someone like MCU Loki (pre-heel turn), or someone that is just outright unlikable and terrible. There is no hard rule. Its all contextual. Uncle Ruckus in Boondocks is racist, and can be called a bad person. But how hes portrayed in a comedic light makes him likable to an audience. So merely being a bigot, or a murderer or something isnt automatically an unlikable character. The role doesnt matter either. Light in Death Note is not a good person. Hes just the protagonist. But plenty of people find him likable. I find unlikable characters to be ones that have no entertainment value, nor do they serve any thematic purpose (or the intended purpose I disagree with). Jim from The Office, for example, I find unlikable. Hes never funny and what he does that should be criticized (being a slacker, annoying peers, homewrecking etc) gets praise and awards in the show. As a result, I dont even feel satisfied by what happens to him. Thus, hes unlikable. But a character having flaws or making errors like Korra in The Legend of Korra isnt unlikable. You can argue a bad character. But Korra isnt an unlikable character to me. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. |

What if the partner still loves you, willing to grow old with you but say after childbirth, shes lost all sex drive. Or if the man gets erectile dysfunction.

| cuttin_in_farm 08/11/21 3:27:40 PM #31 | Didnt Samus in Other M have bad voice acting specifically because they had a Japanese voice director who thought she sounded great? I personally think JPN VAs overact way too much. I dont need constant screaming nor do I like their voices for any female character who isnt taller than average height. Or any male who is cool.
