His "oh, this game you brought up that I didn't put anywhere on the list, surely this game doesn't belong in the DEAD ZONE, does it?" thing got really tiring. He has some pretty dire tastes at times too. I had the whole thing on in the background while working one day, it was alright I guess His tier names were pretty great though

You've got one Fire Emblem to put as your favorite and you pick Fire Emblem Awakening.  If you picked FE4/5 I'd understand it because you're old school. If you picked 7 I'd understand it because it was the first one released in the west. If you picked 9 or even 10 I'd get it because PoR slaps and RD while flawed has tons of interesting ideas going for it. If you picked Three Houses I'd get it. I'd even take Fates over it, because at least Conquest was funny. loving Awakening though?

I'm still kind of awed that they got to release exactly one game for the Wii and it ended up being a sequel to a not very popular game on a low-selling console so they completely squandered any opportunity to rejuvenate the playerbase.

I think I only watched one Nikacado mukbang, mostly because the thumbnail of Nik's face smeared in guacamole looked pretty funny. Then I saw how it went down in the video itself, and it made me so uncomfortable that I couldn't watch past it. It looks too much like a violent attack to make me feel good about watching it.

I used to listen to the Shut Up And Sit Down podcast, and they talked openly about how they'd been feeling burned out and they felt like they needed to pause for a moment and the response from patrons was overwhelmingly "change your billing to monthly and take a vacation, it's ok" because the people backing folk on patreon are generally there because they like the creators and want them to be healthy and happy. I don't think the people who were still donating to spoony years after he had produced a video were duped in any way and constantly claiming he was somehow robbing them are really strange to me! (like I'm still supporting a dude on patreon who stopped putting out videos like 2 years ago because of Severe Depression Issues and I'm ok with that because it's only a few bucks and they're good people, you know)

This is basically my stance on the matter and people definitely take that poo poo too far, but there are a good few cases of a creator just kind of.... Vanishing? Without any kind of word, but continuing to take patreon money and maybe occasionally sending out like a yearly update that's just "thank you to all my patreons" without any kind of update on their game/comic while people spin their wheels and yeah, maybe those people should just stop supporting someone who does that. But it feels like it's also on the creator to say "Okay guys I'm not going to be updating this for a while because of X reason." And if people are comfortable with continuing to pledge money to a creator they like without the return, then that's fine. It's their money to do with as they please. But it feels lovely to just keep the other people on the hook like that. Especially if you're one of those very select few creators who will start a new project with its own patreon and donations and all that jazz and then try to advertise it on the good will that you're the creator of That Thing while still taking in money on That Thing's patreon too. And so on and so forth. Basically I feel like it largely comes down to communication and expectations and it'd be nice if people could manage both better on all sides so everyone could be a bit happier overall.

Shaun will disable charges on Patreon when he's behind on stuff. He's done it several times in the few months I've been a patron. It sucks seeing how much Spoony was bringing in because if his brain hadn't betrayed him he'd be living on easy street between that and streaming.

the thing about patreon is that there's no obligation in any way whatsoever to keep being subscribed to someone if someone's choosing to keep feeding money into it, they're making that choice. you might not think that person is doing enough to 'deserve' the money they're getting, but clearly the people sending the money feel like it's a good place for it to go (i don't know anything about the people being talked about specifically here) edit: oh right, the talk about Content Creation also made me want to link this classic from LRR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocDqAcGm0Dg flatluigi fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Feb 10, 2021 |

I've only watched an LP of Fates Birthright but that one looks like a total trash fire, especially by comparison. That Fates is also a confusing 3 games where the third is digital only and locked behind finishing one of the other 2 games is a baffling choice. At least Nintendo finally realized their vision for the Zelda Oracle games.

(Although they still hilariously threw shade at Persona 5's in a very mote/plank eye situation.)

Conquest is the one where you side with the evil empire, and your obviously evil emperor dad is trying so hard to kill Corrin but failing with Corrin being too thick to notice. So half the game is just Corrin waltzing back into the throne room covered in blood with a big smile on their face and their dad awkwardly shuffling and going "Ah yes, uh, congratulations for overcoming my fifth test of your strength!

Yeah a lot of people were mad about casual mode which is dumb because it's basically just cutting out the middleman of resetting everytime a character dies, which is what everybody does anyway. My problems with Awakening are more that the map design is flat and boring, way too many characters are just one note jokes made into a character (something FE has always been guilty of with a portion of its cast, but it just felt like EVERYBODY in Awakening) the story is terrible even by FE standards, and it firmly solidified the whole "My Unit" thing which I really dislike but have since learned to accept as just being a pillar of the series now.

Ash Crimson posted:
There's a random bit in the last video he posted (well, I assume it is -- he posts a lot) where he plays violin for the first time in ages. Nikocado is really good at violin and should probably play it more. It's kinda strange because he suddenly appears calm and happy for a bit. Still, I mean...I dunno. As far as the debasing and the depressing nature of it all goes, this is someone who cycles through these endless utterly whacked out storylines of him and Orlin cheating on each other and then Orlin randomly being replaced by Orlin in a giant panda mask. Also Nikocado's pregnant and they're getting married again, but tomorrow he's getting divorced and he's calling corporate and it's all YOUR FAULT. And then here's a random bit where he takes the piss out of Amberlynn Reid at a Walmart before having another noodle fight with Orlin. It's certainly a lot to go with all the food. It's all completely ludicrous and completely fake (in a wrestling storyline way where it is also entertaining, at least for people like me who clearly have no loving taste at all and should be thrown to the wolves) and yet it comes with the self-destruction of doing what appears to be multiple mukbangs every freaking day.

A lot of people would never have touched the Fire Emblem games without casual mode, so it was effectively the first entry in the series for them and is probably a source of nostalgia at this point. That’s certainly the case for me, although I personally prefer Three Houses.

FE Awakening also put in the pairing and children stuff that people wanted back in the series for decades, so Nintendo threw that fan base a gigantic bone too. They tried to do the same in FE Fates even if it couldn’t work with the story, like, at all, so they came up with the solution of “couple left the child in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from Dragon Ball Z and now they are battle ready” which is pretty stupid

It's even funnier if you play revelations and learn that none of them are actually your "real" siblings and the closest blood relative Corrin has among the cast is Azura who is their cousin. So Birthright is actually you throwing away your "fake" siblings for secretly even more fake siblings.

I think casual mode does a bit more than that. Yeah, it's rare for someone to ironman a Fire Emblem game, especially the modern ones that really aren't designed for it, so people who play on classic mode reset if someone dies anyway. But that means that anyone dying becomes a map failure condition. If you're on casual mode, you can sacrifice a unit for temporary gain during a map and know you'll get them back; if you're on classic mode, you can't. So it does change how you play. That said I think it's a good inclusion in the series. I don't use it personally, but I'm really glad it's there for people who want it. (I also like Divine Pulse in FE3H--that one really is cutting out the middleman of me resetting whenever someone dies and just saving me a bunch of time in my Maddening runs )

FE has definitely been moving in a much more forgiving direction with regards to character "death", hell even if you play classic in Three Houses you still get the Divine Pulse mechanic. Even FE10 let you save in the middle of a chapter and reload at any time which was very much appreciated for some of the more bullshit Dawn Brigade missions, like the one where you have to baby an entire army of severely underleveled characters through a fog of war chapter vs Laguz units who almost all 2-3 shot.
