I thought I just heard the other day that there WOULDNT be any more seasons.

I mean you guys arent real people.

Hey actually did any of you notice that he's stopped arguing anything coherent entirely? He keeps trying to say that Yasuke doesn't qualify as "well known", but like why is that even relevant? Assassin's Creed can't have obscure historical figures in it? Since when?

When you keep citing BUT THE ANIME as a testament to his supposed popularity, as if I didnt already address that several times already, then naturally Im gonna stop paying attention to that.

I doubt people will remember the Yasuke anime as much as Afro Samurai.

This is definitely going to happen at some point.

I mean, waifu Robert E Lee already exists. Might as well.

Not Musashi levels of well-known, and even then, well-known is not a descriptor of someone whose real name or feats (if any exist) are unknown.

Well-known

Theres that darn misinformation again.

Then make a waifu Yasuke and a male ninja.

Problem solved.

You literally made a post in another topic saying Yasuke was overused in games and media. Weird how you've now changed your rhetoric.

blackrider76 posted...

Its pretty tiring to hear people cling to Yasuke as if he was some major figure.

He had a really mediocre Netflix anime (where he played second fiddle to a random little girl and a bunch of mechs), was a random extra boss in Nioh, and so on, yet people keep acting like he was some badass on par with Nobunaga.

I said he was overplayed in importance, not overused at all. Theres a big difference between making him a protagonist and him just being an extra.

If anything, I said he was UNDERUSED in his own anime.

Lol did you really try to twist this into racism against Japanese people??

Are you implying that you can only be racist against black people?

Dio posted...

Your point? The racist echo-chambers aren't contained to the deepest bowels of the Internet anymore. This race war shit is spreading and brain washing our youth. Yt influencers are fanning the flames of it purposely getting our youth angry at woke", DEI, etc.

People didnt care about being an Asian male in a hundred different games set in Japan where you play as a white guy like Nioh. Its because hes black lets not kid ourselves. People just project their racial purity shit onto historical japan, imagining it as this honourable monoracial utopia while at the time it was fairly diverse. So no, you're wrong and I'm better then you.

People cared a lot about RE5.

Dio posted...

The hatred towards Yasuke is 100% because he's black. In todays world having a Black man play in glorious japan samurai land causes chuds heads to explode in rage. They'll never say it's because he's black but, you know it is. It was always because he's black. That's the whole point of this: they don't want black people to be seen or heard of in-games.

I see numerous posts upvoted on reddit blatantly hating Black people. Like genuine hatred.

Just say you want to roleplay as a black man killing Japanese

Thats what your argument s like.

BDSMKane posted...

Yasuke is of little to no importance in Japan. However, he is of great importance to black people who enjoy Japanese culture, history, and/or entertainment.

No, were not talking Musashi tier of fame. But I bet more people in this topic know Yasuke than Toshiie Maeda, unless their entire knowledge specifically revolves around Samurai Warriors.

Then say that instead of making up lies to overplay his importance.

TendoDRM posted...

There was even an anime based on Yasuke on Netflix a few years ago. It was called Yasuke.

Yes, and it sucked. It also wasnt even about him or Nobunaga, it was about protecting a little girl from a bunch of mech dudes and one of the bodyguards just happened to be Yasuke. And I dont even remember if he was in the latter half of the show.

Youd think Id have seen Yasuke in Fate/Grand Order by the way you guys are describing him as fame on par with Musashi.

When we get annual events centered around Nobunaga and the feudal period, to the point that they add characters like random Shinsengumi member #27 or the literal shitpost that is Mysterious Ranmaru X (there is an entire planet of Mori Ranmarus who fought for custody of Nobunagas head after s/he was entrusted to it for safekeeping), but Yasuke is nowhere to be seen, I cant help but feel youre severely overstating his importance.

unless if the post was from someone behind the scenes at Ubisoft, idk how valid it is (I can't say, though, without seeing its contents).

this game has been rumored/talked about for years, and Yasuke was always a part of it, from my experience, but it wasn't confirmed until fairly recently.

https://twitter.com/infinitalecomic/status/1790613158622597382

This was the tweet being passed around, but again, it looks like they were describing AssCreed Memories instead.

Baron_Ox posted...

they didn't "shaft" an Asian protagonist for this, though.

for one, they already had Yasuke in mind, so without him, there would likely be no story in the first place.

Theres a viral post about how this is explicitly not the case, but I didnt look too deeply into it.

ssjevot posted...

Dude I love that game. I love basically all the Contra games excluding the Western shovelware ones (that's like every Konami series).

You tend to get sick of certain games and movies when your little brother plays them every week.

Every.
Single.
Week.

He does rotate his weekly choices now and then, like I remember him playing Hard Corps Uprising before, or just other shmups like Ikaruga, but those also got old after several months.

Remember everyone melting down over the black samurai based on Yasuke in that game?

Me neither.

Man, fuck that game.

Not because of the game itself, but because my brother plays it all the time.

Not only can you derive more enjoyment out of it, you can absolutely make content off of it.

Being a Genshin/Honkai content creator or leaker was especially lucrative. Past tense because theyve been cracking down on the latter, and Im not sure theres much demand for the former at the moment.

Yknow, we have a gacha game general.

I did get one Crown, but not much else.

No Trony either.

Im sitting on like 1200 pity though, and I only had to use it once for Rem.

creativerealms posted...

Are they used as whataboutisms or are they being used as defense. In both cases you have a known historical figure.

If youre outraged about a black samurai, why arent you outraged about a white samurai, basically.

Which obviously doesnt work when we know the white samurai existed and actually played a part in Ieyasus campaign.

It went in reverse too, like with that garbage article about why arent there black people in Shogun, when Yasuke was from a different era than the time period Shogun took place.

CrimsonGear80 posted...

isn't the protagonist of Nioh, a game set in feudal japan, a white guy?

William Adams was a well-documented Englishman who actually had a pivotal role in Japans history.

People bringing up Nioh and Shogun as whataboutisms arent being clever.

Its pretty tiring to hear people cling to Yasuke as if he was some major figure.

He had a really mediocre Netflix anime (where he played second fiddle to a random little girl and a bunch of mechs), was a random extra boss in Nioh, and so on, yet people keep acting like he was some badass on par with Nobunaga.

Is this the same guy thats going through that thing with Keffals right now?

Let them fight etc.

Lolwut.

Did my free roll in BrownDust and immediately got the rateup loli again.

And that just turns into a free 10-roll? I see why it gets its reputation.

MacadamianNut3 posted...

Actually surprisingly good manga.

Finally got around to giving Brown Dust 2 a try after the recent debacle with them releasing a loli in a wedding dress. Refithea, if you want to look her up.

Somehow her banner was already removed and shes in the standard pool now, but her other dress banner is still up.

Did like three rerolls before eventually getting her.

And now to forget about the game until next month, I suppose. Supposedly theres a collab and the first anniversary then.

Stupid FGO collab.

Guess I dropped the ball hard, but they made farming it way more annoying than expected. Only managed 100k when I was aiming for 120k.

Supposedly its collabing with NIKKE at some point, and that game obviously isnt going anywhere anytime soon.

Did Fire before Forest because kid me was freaked out by wallmasters. Though I was fine with them in LttP.

Did Spirit before Shadow because the fucking Redeads scared everyone back then.

Since this is a tower defense thread and all, Ill give a larger post to Aigis.

Good old Aigis. If it werent for the Makaidols and the 10th anniversary rewards, I probably wouldnt have gotten back into it.

The strongest unit* and the strongest idol duo deserves their own PV and theme song, after all.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=xlr1pugCzYw

(not actually the strongest but definitely on par with some of the top tiers, despite being an idol unit and not a hero unit)

Anyway, this song plays whenever you activate their skill, which lasts forever until they die (or get paralyzed). Oh, and if they die, they can be resummoned again (after 30 seconds) with twice the stats. And if they die again, they get another x2 stat boost. So yeah, pretty OP.

That said, no idea why I struggled on this map.

Besides the fact that the boss here full-heals all enemies in range until you bring her to 50% HP, in which case she spams AOE tornados a second that do like 2k damage per hit. Still, I shouldnt have struggled with my team.

Oh, but thats just the regular version of the map. The hard mode adds a second boss that spams exploding pots at you.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/91ab66de.jpg

Finally got the damn mice.

Since Calwings is retiring and no one else wants to step up, I guess Ill make it.

NIKKE having a Kingdom Rush-inspired tower defense minigame for its 1.5 anniversary is the obvious reason for the topic title, but the other tower defense gachas are also going strong.

Millennium War Aigis is somehow still ranking first on a lot of days, long after its 10th anniversary celebration.

Monmusu TD has a player version now.

Arknights I hear the story got really, REALLY bonkers.

And that about covers it.

Me trying to roll for mice in FGO, or collab units in Mahjong Soul.

My NIKKE luck is ridiculous though. Got every unit except like three.

My TSK rolls have been hit or miss, but I got my pink-haired yandere imouto, so Im good for now.

Only Len matters.

Also fuck Sony.

But can it run Doom?

Not really seeing any amazing prices yet.

Does Overwatch still have the literal teabagging emote? The one where (I think Ana) pulls out a teacup and dips the bag in it?

If its not teabagging, its some other form of taunting. Feels really arbitrary to ban or work around it.

Supposedly theyre allowing refunds for false marketing, though Im also skeptical that this is Sony specifically sabotaging Shift Up.

Fuck Sony, but Shift Up isnt blameless either.

Umbreon posted...

Real subtle. What an asshole that dude is.

He deleted his account real quick since he was actually being reported to law enforcement.

Im still annoyed about censored Yuni in NIKKE.

Its easy enough in stuff like Infamous where most of your evil stuff is relegated to blasting random faceless civilians or executing/lifestealing mooks.

Much harder to do in more character-driven works, though itd help (or hurt, in this instance?) if your two choices are represented by companions like the most goody-two-shoes law-abiding enforcer you can think of vs the most batshit insane Joker/Harley Quinn-esque chaotic villain you can think of. Then its less about your actions and more which personality is more tolerable or just which one is hotter.

If you've ever played Team Fortress 2, here's how I would describe the 9 classes.

Low Floor, Low Ceiling: Heavy, Pyro

Low Floor, High Ceiling: Soldier, Medic

High Floor, Low Ceiling: Spy

High Floor, High Ceiling: Scout, Sniper, Demoman

Engineer is pretty middle-ground for both.

Pyro airblasting is low ceiling?

Id say Medic and Engie are the lowest skill floors. Their higher skill ceilings are mostly for Ubersaw or Frontier Justice variants.

Huntsman Sniper is honestly pretty low skill floor too, as a Huntsman main myself.

I would hesitate to call Heavy low anything either, given how theyre prime Sniper/Spy fodder.

I dont think anyone disagrees about Scout or Demo being the hardest to master though.

In Overwatch terms.

Soldier 76, Reinhardt, and Mercy are probably the go-to or safe choices for DPS/tank/healer, as their roles and skills are straightforward, thus, low skill floor. They do still have a noticeable skill ceiling, what with both Soldier and Mercy being combat medic, or Rein needing to know when to barrier and when to charge, so none of them are just hold button to win.

But none of them are as complex as, say, Genji, Winston, or Ana, who all have much higher skill floors since they have harder-to-master skills for their roles, need to pay greater attention to cooldowns and understanding the battlefield, know when to push, when to ult, when to retreat, etc.

Weren't like any of the changes he tried to implement even in the final version anyway, and he made himself look like a fool for nothing?

Also, wasn't that an entirely "fan" dubbed project? As in, a voice actor just bought the rights to dub it on her own for cheap because she was a huge fan of the show, as a passion project, and wasn't at all reflective of what a typical dubbing process looks like?

He made it sound like his changes were final and everyone had to say otherwise. So yes, he made himself (and the entire localization process) look like a joke, but he still acted like an authority figure at the time.

Not sure about the second part. I heard Discotek didnt put a lot of budget into the dubbing/localizing, but I hadnt heard about it being 100% fan-funded.

DrizztLink posted...

Sounds like you're whining about a situation that has already been handled.

Getting consequences for his actions doesnt mean that it never happened, or that his peers that think like him but dont say it out loud have yet to get their comeuppance.

What's the lovely complex thing

https://archive.is/fPT8B (forgot they deleted and remade the tweet, cant dig for it now)

Long story short is a YouTuber named Jelloapocalypse posted a now-deleted blog post about how the show he worked on, the author, the JP voices, etc. were all garbage and he worked to improve them (in his words, his changes were the only things that made it good).

Basically threw his peers under the bus in the process and subsequently got blacklisted by the industry after that.

CE isnt nuanced or unbiased in this issue either.

I remember in a previous topic, in the span of two minutes, CE went of course a degenerate like YOU would care about the accuracy of a dogfucker anime to what do you mean you never watched the show, how do you know resting bitch face isnt an accurate translation then. I already forgot the name of the anime and had to look it up, but it was My Life as Inukai-sans Dog (almost put Pet instead of Dog, if that hammers in how much I otherwise forgot about this shows existence).

When it doesnt take two brain cells to know that it wasnt at all what was said, or that the localizer also claimed to be a fan of the show despite the premise. (so its okay for the localizers to be degenerate but not the audience?)

And when you bring up stuff like the Lovely Complex thing, theyre apparently just one-off incidents and not saying the quiet part out loud about their disdain for Japanese media.

So the 1.5 anniversary had, among other things, a best song contest, and the winner was this.
