considering the parents, Zag totally should and could get a bean army

analog spear
#

Prohibition of sass is zags hard counter

#

How can he be the god of talking back to hades?

wide ember
#

technically hades already prohibited sass, but zag, being a god, countered the hard counter

analog spear
#

That’s his power

#

Zag has no weakness

#

Well except for exactly the infamous spear throw

#

But that’s it

tardy anchor
#

zag's domain, "no u",

faint panther
#

Is the infamous spear throw Theseus' throw when there were Chariots in his fight and he threw it without finishing the telegraph?

tropic garden
#

I still get hit even WITH the telegraph.

faint panther
#

I've been terrifically lucky lately and am getting builds that burst him down whenever he's standing there like an idiot invoking an Olympian.

#

You haven't been playing with Whipped Frenzy, have you?

#

Because nothing in this game is scarier than Asterius power walking towards you.

tropic garden
#

No, I'm just bad at dodging 😂

#

plays Hades for a living
still can't dodge Theseus' spear

faint panther
#

Half the time I still spam both my dodges and eat the spear anyway.

tardy anchor
#

strategies are like:
-athena boon
-have so much health it doesnt matter

faint panther
#

Think anyone on #fan-works would do a commissioned Hades comic? Like two or three panels?

tardy anchor
#

🙌 MEEEE

#

whats ur idea actually 👀

faint panther
#

Okay, I have two ideas.

severe plover
#

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo do tell

faint panther
#

First one: Zagreus, Hypnos, and Achilles (who is drunk) start cheering Orpheus while he's playing a song, but like they're at a rock concert. Zag is headbanging and throwing horns, Achilles is spinning his shirt above his head, go nuts.

#

The second is less an idea than a visual stuck in my head, that of Zagreus running away from max Whipped Frenzy Asterius, who is powerwalking faster than Zag can run.

tardy anchor
faint panther
#

Oh my god.

tropic garden
#

i think thats a yes

#

kam does good comics
kamics

tardy anchor

ANYWAY if u wana comission me for these we can dm the workingsout of it!! squirtnya

OK

#

I'm a bard now

#

how do I play music?

chilly briar
#

no how, only play.

copper lark
#

there’s a quest u gotta pick up in gridania

hasty kernel
#

Yknow what I wish was possible

#

An MMO where the bards different specializations are based on their genre

#

Like a DPS bard goes thrash metal, a healing bard goes for the standard harp nonsense and a tank bard just spits some dope rhymes

serene tulip
hasty kernel
#

Yeah thats coding in a nutshell

tropic garden
#

"If you're seeing this, you're doing the impossible, and if you could do it once, you could do it again! This has been your motivational error message."

hasty kernel
#

Coding is kinda like fighting an eldritch horror

#

You barely understand what youre facing or what youre doing

#

And every time you squash a bug, 10 more appear

#

Also you might be driven to madness

upbeat scroll
#

coding is like going through a maze with no dead ends

#

you know you could probably reach the exit this way, but you might save time by backtracking to find an easier route

hasty kernel
#

Mmh

#

From my experience with coding

#

Its a maze with nothing but dead ends

#

Some are just slightly more dead

vocal brook
#

If majors were Pokemon types, CompSci would be Bug

hasty kernel
#

Its actually a composite type

#

Fighting Bugs

vocal brook
#

YES

analog spear
#

Bug is an amazing defensive typeing

serene tulip
#

Fighting Bug is like, quadruple weak to flying D:

hasty kernel
#

Given how much I hate flying

#

Yeah thats pretty accurate

analog spear
#

Ok but flying stab is rare

#

For physical attackers it’s like brave bird or fly

#

And fly is terrible

hasty kernel
#

Flying stab is rare?

#

Do you live somewhere where mosquitos dont exist?

#

In which case please tell me where you live

#

It sounds great

analog spear
#

That’s a bug type move

hasty kernel
#

Ah

serene tulip
#

isn't like, peck a thing?

analog spear
#

Peck is very low base power

serene tulip
#

doesn't have to be high with 4x weakness tho

analog spear
#

I think wing attack is the closest to a real move, and that’s like 60

#

Well people don’t run it bc outside of that edge case it’s not good

#

Like even super effective peck (45ish bp ) is like a neutral dark pulse (80 bp with a flinch chance) it psychic (90 bp)

serene tulip
#

I had a too sugary breakfast

and now I'm paying for it physiologically

Hey Acrobatics is 110 power if unladen

I use it all the times when I have bird mons

#

With stab acrobatics is just insane

obsidian stump

copper lark
#

o/

analog spear
#

Yea but acro requires no item and is basically only used on lucha

#

Bc of unburdened

#

Air slash is also good but again it’s rare

#

Flying needs some love

#

#makefly1turn

wide ember
#

we need a new flying move

#

we need several new flying moves

#

Cute Bird: power 90, doubles when facing dragons (the audio "dragon I am your superior version" mysteriously plays), bird shaped mons only

#

Sky King: power 120, doubles against fairy, cannot be used again the next turn (swoops down and munches the opponent)

#

illegal third new move: Pirate King, power 200 but KOs the user (corresponding FLCL remix plays)

analog spear
#

Z fly is actually a meta landorus T set, but outside of the z move you never use fly

buoyant frigate
#

I haven’t backread but is this about Pokémon cause otherwise the above sentence is like another language

#

Wow, discord managed to make light theme actually horrible

#

Thankfully I should keep the old decent one unless I accidentally close chrome

chilly briar
#

I personally think it's really nice ¯_(ツ)_/¯

analog spear
#

more people swapping to dark theme is a net win

hasty kernel
#

I hate it, its actually too bright now, the text is blurry and the sidebar is practically unreadable

#

Thankfully it seems almost noone likes it because all of discords feedback channels are spammed with posts about reverting the change

#

And eh, its not

#

Dark theme hurts your eyes worse

analog spear
#

wha?

#

not in my experience

chilly briar
#

I mean yeah of course, the voices of the dissatisfied are always louder than the satisfied

hasty kernel
#

It hides it well, you dont notice it immideately

#

But yeah, dark theme puts additional significant stress on your eyes

#

They did some studies on it a whole while back, and people using dark themes had an increased rate of eye problems

#

And related problems

#

And true to a degree, but its rare for the dissatisfied to be a torrent of this proportion

chilly briar
#

I don't think so given the active user population of discord

hasty kernel
#

I mean I didnt know feedback was a thing, and I imagine most discord users dont

#

I only found it specifically so I can see if they can be convinced to revert it

faint panther
#

Wait, how does Dark Mode increase eye strain?

chilly briar
#

because studies say so

hasty kernel
#

I dont know the exact mechanism behind it

chilly briar
#

The feedback server, and bug server, have both existed for years. I've been in and out of them many times for various things lol like the bug where you can't use a kb to select a spelling correction

hasty kernel
#

But basically it had to do with your eye constantly trying to refocus

#

I think it was because dark theme both reduces readability significantly and also messes with a contrast

#

While having more scattered light

#

So your eyes try to unfocus because there is less light coming at you

#

But then you cant read the text

#

So it tries to focus

#

Rinse and Repeat

faint panther
#

Aaahh. Yeah, that sounds similar to what I'm reading.

hasty kernel
#

Its worse with white on black than it is with light grey on dark grey, but generally, dark letters on light backgrounds are optimal

faint panther
#

Ooohh, so you mean the years of reading fanfic on Dark Mode with my phone 6 inches away from my face gave me glasses like my mom said it would?

hasty kernel
#

Probably not all on its own, but it could well have been a factor

#

Though Id argue the "phone 6 inches away from your face" might indicate that you just needed glasses earlier than you got them

faint panther
#

Oh, totally.

hasty kernel
#

Im surprised that nearly everyone I know who wears glasses is short-sighted

#

Its like Im the only far-sighted guy

chilly briar
#

I was short-sighted with astigmatism lol

#

got laserzzzz

hasty kernel
#

On one hand its cool that you can fix vision problems for good now

#

On the other hand "lasers to the eye" sounds utterly terrifying

#

Ill stick to glasses

chilly briar
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯ best thing I ever did

#

was like 7 years ago now

buoyant frigate
#

I’m probably gonna need surgery at some point? But for now I’m just trying to not treat my eyes bad and use sunglasses more n stuff

velvet fjord
#

wait people use light mode? huh

it was always too bright for my taste, and now they made it...more bright

hasty kernel
#

Yeah I use it

#

I spend ungodly amounts of time at the PC

#

So I try to minimize the damage to my eyes

#

New one is not nice though

wide ember

hydrate your eyes often

#

drink water and shove your face in hot water or hot wet towels

wide ember
#

Even without gym, it’s possible to lift things and put them down to gain strength and body mass

#

Somebody please design a very chunky bird that enjoys being lifted up and put down

#

(and there is the unfortunate coincidence that my body mass is small enough for someone to use me as a weight for bodybuilding)

you can change that in your discord settings

unless you like light theme, in which case, oof, sorry to hear that

hasty kernel

It hurts my eyes less

Now its probably as bad as dark theme

I managed to mostly fix the new light theme via css

#

Hooray for web discord

upbeat scroll
#

thats something that a lot of people could make use of

#

are you interested in sharing it

hasty kernel
#

Hold on, noticed something I overlooked

#

...

#

Why are those things covered by the same element

#

So apparently the default username colour, the server title, and those little blibs that show which server has new messages are all under the same colour

#

Why

#

Who created this

#

Anyway there isnt much to share, its just using f12, going under "styles", filtering with the # sign, then manually changing the colours

#

I guess I can share the hex codes, but theyre only approximations

#

These are the hex-codes I have, if someone else wants to fix light mode

#

Unfortunately it does still end up looking worse than the old one and you lose some functionality, but hey

upbeat scroll

thanks, I'll share this with some people who had similar problems

north hamlet
#

how does a hot bath, cup of tea and a light read before bed sound?

wide ember
#

I concur, usually take a salt bath, drink a milk tea and then sleep in a warm bed helps making brain feel great

sharp grail
#

maybe it’s bc I haven’t had a bath in years but nowadays I find them more weird than calming

#

The last time I lived in a house that had a bath in it was like 13 years ago before now and the first time I used the bath in this house I was like.... huh, this is not as fun as I remember

#

showers are fun tho. Nothing like feeling clean

wide ember
#

the first time I've taken a bath after several months of only using shower, my primitive brain was also not very okay with bath, but after a feel times diving underwater in a bath became fun again

#

I wish there is something to add salt to shower water, using chlorinated fresh water feels weird

#

I don't know, it's like the texture is different?

chilly briar
#

I grew to like baths again over the last few years aye, blessed

#

No bath in my current house or the house i'm moving to though sadly :/

buoyant frigate
#

I’ve taken more baths in the last three weeks than I have in the past 10 years aha
I just get to sit there and listen to music and process emotions
I’ll still set the water faucet to the shower setting tho so it’ll hit my face

north hamlet
#

i started taking them this year again too

#

i had the flu of death for a month so standing long enough to take a shower was pretty hard

tardy anchor
#

baths are good in a lot of ways but theres a tiny part of my brain that goes aaaaa we could drown thats hard to turn off 😔

buoyant frigate
#

Awww no 😦

north hamlet
#

the concern about not drowning isn't really helped by the lack of body fat near the head huh

#

that makes it like the least floaty bit

buoyant frigate
#

Now that is something that I definitely did not need to know

north hamlet
#

on the plus side the density of fat compared to muscle does mean that if you put on weight you may actually be trimmer if you're doing exercise

#

how did you prepare your fish btw? 👀

#

was it like flounder or something?

wide ember
#

it's yellow croakers, thawed from frozen

#

they must be fried before eaten so I mixed some flour with water and... failed to bread them correctly

#

so the moment they touched hot oil, they disintegrated

#

I googled and apparently it's very common mistake when trying to fry high-collagen fish

#

good thing I tried to practice with croakers instead of trying flounders right away, because flounders are also high collagen and I would have felt worse

somber ferry
#

maybe try dredging with flour, coating with egg, and then finishing with breadcrumb next time? might hold up better when frying

#

dredging usually helps batter stick better in any case

wide ember
#

I did use flour but I tried it wet instead of dredging with dry flour

#

I'll try dry next time

somber ferry
#

ah yeah, dry flour’s where it’s at for that kind of stuff

wide ember

oops, I threw away all the fish heads, croakers are supposed to have this pair of "stones" that are a bit valuable

those are supposed to be inside their heads

which particular traditional medicine are you thinking?

wide ember
#

Sri Lanka Ceylon cinnamon plus cloves had been good for inflammation and pain for my family

Don’t put too much cloves though, it can mess with digestive tract

At some point my mother hurt her arm nerve, and no doctor or over counter pain cream helped enough, then she drank Ceylon cinnamon plus cloves for four days and half and was healed

serene tulip
#

How am I supposed to prepare this?

#

Just one stick of Ceylon cinnamon bark boiled with 3-4 cloves for a few minutes

#

I was initially making a tea-less, milk-less chai with that

She drank the leftover for days and then got better

The butter thing is possible if the person is from a culture or even just a family with high rate of dairy intolerance

I know, it was just extremely odd

Also lactose intolerant people know about butter

I mean, there’s “I’m lactose intolerant and I will eat every dairy item that I can find anyway” lactose intolerant and there’s “I’m lactose intolerant so I’ll even avoid calcium added apple juice” lactose intolerant

I'm angry I can picture both types of those people instantly upon reading that

And in some regions in Asia, the only known use of butter for the general public was to be put in tea

Today in bad game design: If your slay the spire-esque card game usually makes it clear who the buff/debuff is talking about, dont make it vague on the one that actually kills the player instantly if they dont win fast enough

#

Grumble grumble

serene tulip
#

Which game?

hasty kernel
#

Phantom Rose

#

I remain conflicted on whether or not I like it

serene tulip
#

So far the only StS clone that I've really liked is night of the full moon.

hasty kernel
#

There is a battle network-esque one thats in development that I really enjoyed the demo of

#

Anyway Phantom Rose has cool ideas, in particular with cards being a limited resource as most of them are one-use and thats it

#

But its actual card and enemy design is uh

#

Inconsistent

serene tulip
#

Spellsword cards origins is OK but not great

hasty kernel
#

One other design choice I hate

#

Is the "investigate" rooms

#

You can get any number of things from them, from relics to cards

#

Or you can get an enemy encounter

#

And quite frankly, that last one is just infuriating

serene tulip
#

doesn't that happen in StS too?

#

Yeah, the beads are an item that stops the ? rooms from having monsters in them

#

juzu beads or somethin'

hasty kernel
#

I didnt like it much in StS either

serene tulip
#

I mean, I kinda like the uncertainty

The games biggest issue is the cards though

There just are so many cards that are practically useless

And I got to play the best dressed Planeswalker, Tibalt!

serene tulip

This is jace erasure

#

There was a combo that Nox played that made it so that Day9 couldn't play any cards

#

it was hilarious

hasty kernel
#

That sounds more awful than hilarious

serene tulip
#

Well it was also hilarious because day9 BM'd him a turn

lavish anchor
#

I learned how to play with Boomerrang imprinted on The Stick

serene tulip

and he used that last turn to stop him from playing

#

I learned how to play when my blue deck's win condition was vizzerdrix sticking long enough to actually beat you down

But yeah, to me hellbent is just less interesting Infernity design

What is Infernity?

Old Yugioh deck

#

Same gimmick of "if you have no cards in your hand, do X"

Played a lot more interestingly however

serene tulip

Like, one of the things I miss about from before then internet was big was it was a lot harder to have "meta" decks, and thus jank was a lot more interesting

particularly for kids with no money

I thrive on jank

My favorite parts of Magic are having someone say "Wait, what?!" in response to what I'm playing or doing

@wide ember I figured out what made my wrist hurt by doing it some more X.x

I was cutting leather for the belts I'm making just a few seconds ago and was like, "oh, that's what did it"

#

because I'd been doing that a lot yesterday

hasty kernel
#

I beat the game at least

#

Ironically, the last boss was a complete pushover

#

I think its because prior to that boss, you have to be careful about preserving your cards (since theyre one-use) and resources

#

With the final boss, you can just go ham

#

Which in my case meant pumping my attack so high I just 3-phased the boss

Usually there are Q&A sessions after major updates, so I wouldn't expect one until October.

faint panther

... Oh.

honest glade
#

You're very adamant about talking directly to the devs, aren't you? lol

#

But as for the Aladdin thing, yes. That's what I was saying before I removed my response to avoid derailing.

#

In the Broadway musical, Jasmine has a group of female friends that are basically there for her to bounce off of and pad out the script. So Aladdin has his buddy crew and she has hers.

#

Her handmaiden in the film is, essentially, an amalgamation of those characters.

somber ferry
#

Ohhh interesting!

I haven’t seen it on Broadway so I didn’t know that

faint panther

Do any of you know who Mr. Karate is?

sharp grail

He's this guy.

To clarify, this goofy weirdo is one of the world's greatest martial artists, a man so skilled that he devised his own style of martial art, one so potent that his two disciples are widely thought of as being some of the world's greatest fighters and fought off an entire gang at one point, and he goes around wearing a Tengu mask and beating people up for... I dunno what reason, he just does.

ionic viper

the reason is: are you going to argue with a man who wears a tengu mask and calls himself mr. karate?

why didnt they bring quinton flynn back >:(

I'm not seeing any voice acting credits for him on his Wikipedia.

copper lark
#

who, tyler hoechlin?

faint panther
#

Yeah.

copper lark
#

yeah i dont think hes voice acted for anything

#

but im a big fan,, so

faint panther
copper lark
#

hes a good actor tho!

#

so i have faith

faint panther
#

I'm a big believer in the Billy West school of thought: Don't hire well-known actors to VA. Hire voice actors.

#

Like, every Ghibli movie that was dubbed by Disney is pretty dominated by big-name actors and their lack of quality compared to career VAs is really noticeable.

#

Fujimoto in Ponyo as played by George Tokoro? Awesome. As played by Liam Neeson? Kinda mediocre.

copper lark
#

thats also disney tho

#

the only ghibli dub i like is howls moving castle

faint panther
#

That's not the point.

copper lark

i get what you mean! but

i think at this point SE wouldnt hire someone who wouldnt be as up to their standards as the other VA's theyve hired

@smoky valley singular they was still a pronoun back then, its up to context to determine whats happening. i wish we made a separate conjugation though since it can get confusing

smoky valley
#

but why would they use it

thorn holly
#

idk it was just a fashion i suppose

cinder blaze
#

On that pronoun discussion: while I usually throw all sorts of shade at English due to its myriad of inconsistencies, I do love that it has a gender neutral pronoun that isn't low-key insulting. In my mother tongue you'd be referring to people that identify as genderqueer or agender as "it" which is used for objects and animals etc which is ... problematic for obvious reasons.

Wasn't "they" originally used as a singular when speaking of an unknown person?

thorn holly
#

iirc yes

#

i dont know if conjugation was singular though

wide ember
#

In Middle English plural was used for respect or ambiguity

tropic garden
thorn holly

oh god why are three people typing bouldy

oop nvm

tropic garden
#

well. "just". just shared an article lol

cinder blaze
#

Interesting!

thorn holly
#

man i really need to get nitro i love the emotes here

cinder blaze
#

Now I'm wondering how "they" would be handled in translations though...Hm. I mean, I suppose dialogue could be tweaked to never refer to someone via pronoun to avoid that. But that'd also be disrespectful...

thorn holly
#

thats actually an interesting thought

#

like some languages (eg spanish) are extremely gendered

tropic garden
#

Every language is different! In Japanese you can get away with not using pronouns or gendered language at all, for the most part

#

But yeah, most romance languages have grammatical gender

thorn holly
#

😔

somber ferry
#

i believe tagalog is also not a gendered language too if i’m not mistaken

tropic garden
#

I'll take your word for it, I only know Japanese haha

somber ferry
#

i just remember hearing about it!

thorn holly
#

which country does that belong to? i feel like its from east asia, maybe phillipines...

somber ferry
#

but yeah, romance languages are so gendered the NOUNS are gendered

#

so like your chair, your table, your bed all have gendered pronouns for some reason

thorn holly
somber ferry

it’s really weird

Learning French was hilarious, if only because of being to argue why the word for chair is female when it should clearly be male.

tropic garden
#

Latin is a riot in that respect

somber ferry
#

i took latin for a year in high school and hated it lol

tropic garden
#

There's a whole class of nouns called "second declension masculine" bc they're masculine by default but use feminine grammar bc they're professions that deal with feminine things, like the earth or sea

thorn holly
#

latin seems interesting ngl but its more of a status symbol

#

lmao what ellis

cinder blaze
#

That's incredible.

tropic garden
#

(Every other noun in the 2nd declension is feminine)

thorn holly
#

thats... a riot is accurate

tropic garden
#

So like, "nauta" is "sailor", and it ends in -a and declines like other feminine nouns but it's...technically masculine

#

it just LOOKS feminine because...ocean. and the ocean is a lady.

thorn holly
tropic garden
#

"farmer" is like that too

#

so what that means is

#

when you use an ADJECTIVE with nauta

#

the ADJECTIVE is masculine

thorn holly
#

i wonder how some nouns’ genders were decided. like why is pen both masculine and feminine ._.

cinder blaze
#

Latin is odd. The way I see it, the ocean is gender neutral and the sea is male. For...reasons.

tropic garden
#

"nauta fortus", the strong sailor

cinder blaze
#

But why???

thorn holly
#

because rOmAnCe LaNgUaGeS

tropic garden
#

(History channel "aliens" image but it says "romans")

cinder blaze
#

Also, bless English for trimming plurals down to "no idea what the suffix is supposed to be but at least it's not gendered". Geese? Gooses? Makes no sense but at least it's not an argument of "plural is masculine for this because masculine is default but wait, it's actually feminine for these words because that sounds nicer".

tropic garden
#

??? what language is out here changing gender for plurals 😂

#

language shaming, English:
-what is spelling
-three different languages in a trenchcoat, plus 20 or 30 accessories stolen from other languages
-nouns can verb and verbs can noun and there is NO clear difference

cinder blaze
#

It's not changing gender for the plurals, rather that having plurals capable of being different genders confused me. German goes "is it plural? Then female. Yes, even if the word is masculine." French tosses that out the window and goes with word flow instead. Sounds prettier but very confusing.

#

Articles, not conjugation, to be clear. English just has the one article which is a blessing.

thorn holly
#

#

bird sounds like croissant

#

either of those work but they are not true articles like a, an, and the

not really sure where else to put this but i just saw the kotaku article about sgg’s no-crunch, required-vacation policy and i just wanna tell all the devs here i appreciate how dedicated you all are to making hades great but i appreciate that you all are taking care of yourselves even more

faint panther
#

They're the best! Arooound~!

dusty vault
#

crunch culture seems so unavoidable in the games industry so i’m ecstatic to see that one of my favorite studios has such a dedication to their own health, and that tight schedules are less important to me than everyone getting the rest they need

hexed hollow
#

I don't think it's unavoidable, it's incredibly difficult especially in AAA dev teams where overwork and abuse of workers is rife throughout alongside tight deadlines that push everyone working on the project to their limits and beyond. (even some indie devs studios and studios like steam and epic launchers)

It's really refreshing to see a dev team to see a studio focus first and foremost on the health of their team over tight deadlines. The healthier the workers the better outcomes you end up getting for your games. Even if it days longer for the game to release

dusty vault
#

oh yeah no i mean i know it’s avoidable i just meant it seems unavoidable in terms of buying games

hexed hollow
#

for AAA studios I mostly agree excluding nintendo

dusty vault
#

i remember the first time a hades patch was going to take about two months to drop instead of one, and all i could feel was relief for the devs

hexed hollow
#

Nintendo pushing back games for the health of their devs, even amongst a small vocal minority getting mad over it because "mah metroid" or "mah insert big franchise here" is a really good thing and something I wish more AAA devs and publishers did as it would help the industry as a whole

Im a bit late, but I do remember sailor looking like a feminine word in latin funny, but also

#

Does that mean that Poseidon is a Drag Queen?

autumn pasture
#

no, 'nauta, nautae' is a first declension noun but it still has a masculine gender. the gender a noun has is inherent and it's different from the declension it fits into.

tropic garden
#

1st! Not 2nd. Thanks, it's been a while since I took Latin blobsmilesweat

#

What stephen said lol
declension is the category that defines how the noun's ending changes

Yeah thats my point, its a masculine gender word that looks like it would be feminine, like a drag queen

#

Its admitively not my best joke

autumn pasture
#

maybe not in the best taste

hasty kernel
#

I just realized I keep saying Poseidon when its Neptune in latin

#

Actually wait

#

Why is it "Neptune" in english?

#

Usually roman gods when put into english just lose the "-us" ending

#

But with Neptune they replaced with -e

tropic garden
#

English/French spelling conventions, I'd imagine

#

Without the -e, we'd read it "nehp-tuhn"

hasty kernel
#

But, that would be how it was pronounced in latin (minus the -us), wouldnt it?

tropic garden
#

with a short u, like "ton" or "under"? don't think so

#

ofc "how Latin was pronounced" is a bit of a speculative field anyways

hasty kernel
#

Oh thats a short u

#

In that case, no, it wouldnt fit

#

We know the first u in neptunus was long

#

Since it was that u with a line above it

#

It was pronounced was along the lines of "nep-toon" I think?

#

can i have a moment of silence for barret and marlene, they arent dead i just want to appreciate them

hasty kernel
#

Oh my god I finally got why he is called Barret

#

Its "bullet"

#

Transliterated to japanese

#

He is the gun guy

copper lark
#

i-

#

i dont think id ever gotten that before

hasty kernel
#

I only got that because of YGO cards

copper lark
#

i kinda wanna watch advent children again but

#

do i wanna subject myself to that during my reno stanning period

hasty kernel
#

Tbh reno looks decent in that movie

copper lark
#

i dont know what you mean he always looks stunning

copper lark
#

ineffective

#

hes beautiful

hasty kernel
#

He looks emo as hell

#

In that 3d model

copper lark
#

clearly you dont know my taste in fictional men

hasty kernel
#

I mean, your name gives it away, and fair enough but

#

Reno is not Emo

#

Reno is a smug bastard

copper lark
#

correct,, and i love him

#

he may be part of the reason the entirety of sector 7 died but like.

hasty kernel
#

That is not reno as we love him

#

Its an emo impersonator

copper lark
#

i really cant wait for the remake

#

replaying the og is reminding me of how much i cant wait

hasty kernel
#

I would probably hate it if I replayed the OG

#

Its so dated in everything but its visual design and story

copper lark
#

i hate it

#

the controls suck

#

especially ported to pc

#

but

#

the worst part is aeriths portrait

#

why ... did they do that to her hair

tropic garden
#

i was just watching someone do a let's play of Digimon World, speaking of early PS1 rpg's

copper lark
#

ohhh i have that sitting on my shelf

tropic garden
#

i remember it being both incredibly frustrating and incredibly addicting as a child

copper lark
#

always wanted to play it but both my ps1 and 2 dont work

tropic garden
#

the environmental design is on point to this day, but like everything else is so bad 😂

#

like they really went all out on the concept of this natural place that looks, you know, like the japanese countryside, but is really just a thin veneer over circuit boards and electrical outlets

#

there are just...wires coming out of the ground, and there's grass sprouting up in holes in motherboards, and there are TREES that PLUG INTO THE GROUND

copper lark
#

thats so cool???? man i love digimon

upbeat scroll
#

darn my trees are incompatible after the new update

tropic garden
#

lol that's how they get ya

copper lark
#

the lorax 2019

tropic garden
#

all of the digimon games were like weird and bad, 3 comes the closest to being a good game, but digimon still has such a nostalgic place in my heart

copper lark
#

the tv show was all i watched when i was younger

#

we had like

tropic garden
#

i watched tamers when i was WAY too young to watch tamers, who agreed that was ok for kids???

copper lark
#

the first? maybe second too

#

i never watched after it stopped being tai n co

tropic garden
#

that's valid but tamers is the 3rd season and it's real good

#

i started with tamers so i'm biased but it's like

#

it was written by the serial experiments lain guy???

copper lark
#

i gotta watch it

#

and the recent movies where theyre older!!

tropic garden
#

i haven't gotten around to those, sob

#

i know about them though and they're apparently pretty good

copper lark
#

yee my sister told me to watch them

tropic garden
#

tamers is like, 10, 11 yr old self-insert dream

#

and then it gets Real Dark for some reason

#

i guess you didn't see the 4th season either, don't bother, it's

#

weird.

copper lark
#

im guessing theres a point where it stops having the same charm

#

like pokemon

upbeat scroll
#

:pikachugasp:

thorn holly
#

bruh

#

agree

analog spear
#

Pokémon lost it’s charm for me with gen 6

tropic garden
#

i had heard the uhhh
alola stuff for the pokemon anime was actually quality

#

as for the games, i stopped playing after hg and ss

thorn holly
#

sinnoh and unova best regions

tropic garden
#

gold was my first game, so i felt like it peaked with hg

thorn holly
#

i will fight to the death for this

#

tbh i was never a fan of the anime

tropic garden
#

me either, i just heard it was good

copper lark
#

i dunno

#

sun and moon was. ok

thorn holly
#

no

copper lark
#

watching it was really 😬 tho

thorn holly
#

i really hated how xy changed the designs

#

like i loved the pixelated yet animated designs in unova

#

hnnnnnnnnng

#

yes

hasty kernel
#

How is it that every time digimon discussion starts is when Im out getting something

tropic garden
#

you are welcome to revive it

hasty kernel
#

Anyway, yeah, Tamers was written by the Lain guy, and it was good but maybe not exactly child-appropriate

tropic garden
#

It was TERRIFYING to like, 6 or 7 yr old me

hasty kernel
#

Which isnt to say that children cant deal with some heavy stuff, but PTSD and survivors guilt?

#

Thats a bit much

tropic garden
#

i think part of that is that like

copper lark
#

that guy and yoko taro should make something

tropic garden
#

japanese anime that were geared towards middle schoolers or older elementary in japan tended to be targeted mostly at elementary kids in america if they were colorful or had Creatures

hasty kernel
#

I mean, partially

#

But I think they were also trying to push the envelope with Tamers

#

On a sidenote, the Cyber Sleuth Digimon games are actually pretty good

thorn holly
#

lol yoko taro

hasty kernel
#

The first one moreso than the second one

tropic garden
#

it was for an older audience than the other digimon series for sure but it had also grown with its initial audience probably?

#

like the harry potter books

hasty kernel
#

The second Cyber Sleuth game had a lot of flaws for me

tropic garden
#

kids who started with the first season would be older by the time tamers came out

hasty kernel
#

Mainly the fact that they had some really good subtle foreshadowing for plot twists

copper lark
#

this is a yoko taro love space

hasty kernel
#

Then decide to just spoil the twist directly 2 chapters before its revealed

#

Like, why

#

You had something going

#

Why ruin it

tropic garden
#

i haven't played them, what system are they on?

hasty kernel
#

Vita and PS3/4 I think?

#

Lemme check

tropic garden
#

That explains it lol

hasty kernel
#

The first is gonna come out on switch this october tho

copper lark
#

the digimon games on ps4 look. genuinely awful

#

so if theyre vita ports

#

that makes sense

hasty kernel
#

Nah the cyber sleuth games look good

#

I have some issues with it, but it was still really good

#

Also the new movies, aka the Tri movies were uh

#

Not good

copper lark
#

oh???

hasty kernel
#

I mean its a contentious subject in the digimon fandom

#

But for me the first 2 movies were decent

#

The third one was randomly filler (in a movie series????) and then it just jumps the shark

#

You have conflicting and inconsistent motivations, plot points that make no sense, a resolution that is unsatisfying and pacing thats all over the place

copper lark
#

look... i just wanna see a grown up matt

thorn holly
#

no tea but i cant believe anyone took digimon seriously

hasty kernel
#

Excuse you?

copper lark
#

im a simple enby, i see matt digimon and i gravitate towards it

hasty kernel
#

Digimon is awesome

thorn holly
hasty kernel
#

Its like pokemon, except with actual world building and lore that is highly interesting

#

Granted they overuse the Yggdrasil plot

#

.... a lot

analog spear
#

Hey I like that overused plot style

hasty kernel
#

Seriously even nordic mythology would be like "damn guys, chill out with Yggdrasil"
