You all take great pride in your likes, when in reality, likes generally do not define a person.
I am likeable, yet my like-post ratio is weak.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Causality of having a Sentient Mushroom instead of an Anime Girl as your avatar methinks.

Okay but Opossum has Merric as his profile pic and he's at 91K.

Surely this isn't widely true.

 

[Double K]

Also if we're talking about Anime here's my favorite Anime:
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Part 2, 4 and 5 especially)

One Piece

That's literally it and so that's why I need to watch more Anime.

Hey remember when we talked about accessability last night?

Having a one-button mode (Easy Automatic) in Bayonetta didn’t make getting Pure Platinum any easier. It didn’t ruin your experience. It did make myself and others on the team receive many comments from new Bayonetta fans who could have never otherwise enjoyed the game.

— JP Kellams (@synaesthesiajp) April 4, 2019

This guy helped make Bayonetta so I think he knows his **** lol

Somehow I really like this. I haven’t used that mode, but trying to get pure platinum on just the normal difficulty is crazy annoying already and I know more than a few people who just aren’t cut out for that level of difficulty. And it’d suck for them to be barred from a game.

Edit: ayyyy a hundred posts

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

There's that.


But he's also just one of the swellest guy's I've met.

I read swellest as swollest and now I'm imagining Noipoi as the most ripped ****ing 17 year old.

But you the guy's a super nice fella don't tell him I told you

Also my mother's going to the hospital for the rest of the week wiah me luck

I hope your mother ends up being okay, I wish you the best of luck!

Exactly I find you to be a very likable person and yet you have one of the worst Post to Like ratios here.

Everyone else: "Oh no, I couldn't possibly show my niche interests to someone I was dating, it'd just be way too embarassing!"
Me:

****. I just remembered we're still waiting for Discotek to release the 2001 series. It might be the only series that comes close to PokeSpe in terms of childhood anime/manga nostalgia for me.

Opossum is the boss.
I have known him for forever. I hope he is doing good right now.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

In terms of likes my sworn goal is to get more total likes than osby and I'm so close I can almost feel it.

It's nothing against you osby I just set out to do it one day like a month ago and I'm getting close so that's exciting.

After that I've gotta reach my girl Luigi The President because she got way more likes than I did while I was sleeping.

After that we'll see how high I can go.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Opo doesn't count. He's a literal ****ing Opossum. You're not allowed to dislike a Opossum. They're too cute and they play dead.

Fate/Zero's pretty fun. I highly recommend it.

And if you're into any shonen at all, watch Hajime no Ippo.

If I had to pick my favourite anime

1. One Piece
2. Sailor Moon
3. JoJo
4. Welcome to the NHK
5. Barakamon

I was going to give honourable mentions but I was just making too big a list haha

 

[Double K]

Bayonetta was designed with the intent of multiple difficulties. Games like Sekiro actually lose their appeal with the addition of easy mode, as many people have noted that when you figure out how to perfect parry, the game becomes laughably easy, and regular parrying is forgiving enough.

Difficulty and accesibility are two different things and lower difficulties, while making the game easier for people to get into my removing frustration, is not allowing disabled people to get into the game.

I sure have. I post in here too much. o_o

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I don't want an "Easy Mode" in Sekiro. I want adaptive difficulty. That way the game is still challenging for everyone in their own difficulty but not TOO challenging as to seem like you've hit a wall. Best of all worlds if I say so myself.

In terms of "like-post ratio", everyone would do better than me. In terms of "number of likes", I would do decent.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

You should know me by now my friend.

I'm not a guy who tries. I'm a guy who succeeds.

Because he's actually carrying Poinoi on his back.

Spoiler: Day 5

Thanos Police Officers is pricked by thorns while picking berries.

Robin Hood discovers a cave.

Edea Lee thinks about home.

Dorothy Gale accidently detonates a land mine while trying to arm it.

Spoiler: Deaths

Spoiler: Commentary

I think it's official; Explosions are to me what feet are to Rob Liefeld. Hopefully I can improve on them over time though. I think I at least conveyed the size of it through the type of explosion I illustrated, though it definitely lacks a certain intensity. Perhaps more edges around the base of the explosion can convey that better next time.

 

[Deleted member]

it is nice to know that NonSpecificGuy and I used to send likes out like a giant sand dune being blown by a tornado.

 

[KMDP]

Well **** you too then I'mma speak Australian, mate!

Serious time: One of my cousins actually moved to Australia a few years ago.

If we're talking about favorite anime/manga, here are the ones that come to mind:

Spoiler: Lots of Anime

• Cowboy Bebop
  • Best anime ever. Don't @ me.
• My Hero Academia
  • A smart battle-shonen/character drama series. Relatable characters and a surprisingly good plot
    • Read the manga though
• Fullmetal Alchemist (Brotherhood)
  • A good time regardless of which series you watch
    • Brotherhood is better though
• Code Geass
  • Mind****s and Plot twists, everywhere.
• Kekkai Sensen
  • Part slice of life, part comedy, part battle shonen, this show is whatever the **** it wants to be and I love it
• There She Is!
  • Not an anime but worth mentioning
  • Seriously go watch it if you haven't it's only 25 minutes and it's amazing
• Jojo's Bizzarre Adventure
  • Part 1 is okay but kind of bland
  • Part 2 is actually one of my favorite animes
  • Part 3 is long and drawn out
  • Haven't watched Parts 4 or 5 yet
• One Punch Man
  • Witty subversion of the Shonen-battle/Superhero genres
• Attack on Titan
  • Overrated
• Persona 4 The Animation
  • A really good retelling of the games. Watch it if you haven't played Persona 4
• Persona 4 Golden The Animation
  • OVA series for P4 The Animation
• Kill la Kill
  • Kind of subversion, kind of playing straight shonen-battle genre
  • Girls (and guys) in skimpy outfits tho
• Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
  • 200 CCs of wholesome and an easy top 10.
    • It's also getting a Season 2 which is hype as ****
• Squid Girl
  • 200 more CCs of wholesome
    • My first anime ever, which gives it a special place in my heart
• Ouran High School Host Club
  • The Harem trope reversed and played straight. Lots of fun as a whole.
• A Certain Magical Index
  • Gender equality with the Chad Touma Kamijo
• Fruits Basket
  • Like Ouran, but with half-furries and it takes itself more seriously
    • It's also getting a remake which is exciting
• Fairy Tail
  • Standard Shonen fare, except they continued with it
• Seven Deadly Sins
  • Standard Shonen fare, rushed ending now included
• Sword Art Online
  • Garbage story with a good budget
  • The only reason why you should watch it is so you understand the Abridged series, which is just better
• The Irregular at Magic High School
  • Not good
    • I couldn't even finish it
• My Bride is a Mermaid!
  • Looking back the premise is funny (Mermaid Yakuza), but it's really generic and I regret it
• Baka and Test!
  • Pretty sure I watched this one with my dad of all people
    • It's a ****ing acid trip is what it is. I'd recommend at least one episode so you know what the **** it is.
• Oreimo
  • Why did I watch this
• Eromanga Sensei
  • Like Oreimo, but worse.
    • Elf is best girl but you know she's going to lose to the sister so what's the point?

That's kind of all the anime I've watched. I still need to finish some big series (Jojo's, Gurren Lagan, Soul Eater, etc.) and catch up on some of the newer ones (Konosuba, Rising of the Shield Hero, etc.)

I'm always open to suggestions. I'll likely have the time over the summer.

*lists favourite anime, also lists anime he didn't like* Bless you, my man.

However...

I noticed a severe lack of piracy in your best anime list. Have you considered experiencing the story of the Pirate King? *promptly killed by ninjas*

If you two are speakin' in o'her dialec's, 'hen I'll join in wi'h a bi' ov Cockney. Playin DGS really got me in th' mood, af'er all.

Or maybe you'd prefer Scots slang? Ah may nae hae th' female sword/shield protagonist as an avatar anymair, bit th' spirit o' th' scotswoman still bides wi`in me!

I need to learn how to write a Welsh accent, because one of my characters is... well, Welsh.

Ratio. Big difference between someone with say, 2000 likes but 200 posts vs someone with 2000 likes but 1900 posts.

That said, neither should really be taken as a marker of poster quality. If all we valued was likes I think it'd promote too much group think and prevent people with different but still valid opinions from making contributions.

Been in forums where it was just a circle jerk over asshats and the amount of likes people got certainly didn't make them any better.

The thing about adaptive difficulty, is it wouldn't really address the issue with the game's difficulty, unless you amped up the posture regen for bosses

and NG+ players are figuring out optimal paths to get to where they need to, and avoid enemies harder than Resident Evil

 

[Raxxel]

Hey, Raxxel you up to the task?

Sorry I missed this. Maybe I can get around to it once I'm done with the HG sim, though right now I feel like passing out.

I just kinda lump difficulty and accessibility into one category lmao
I have a hard time making my fingers physically move fast enough sometimes (which is why I’ve, once again, almost lost interest in smash). Still love me button mashing games where I do my Absolute Best to try and pull of some intentional and neat combos.

Non-neurotypicals rise up!

I vote for like-to-post ratio. Total likes can be accrued easily just by time. The ratio rests slightly more on post quality (in theory).

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Because he's actually carrying Poinoi on his back.

#Noipoilore

I always imagined Noipoi and Poinoi being like Pit and Dark Pit or Madeleine and Badeleine where they're two sides of the same coin and while they fight a lot, they have a reluctant alliance where Noipoi is nice to Poinoi and Poinoi acts mean, but secretly all he wants is a friend so he appreciates the care.
