magic art can vary a lot i think its more important it fit the theme of the color and the expansion older magic art was really cool to me because it was much more inconsistent and varied before they settled on a style they've mostly stuck to with the exception of variants

IShallRiseAgain posted:Even ignoring the quality, that artstyle is a poor fit for a Magic the Gathering card. Its why art directors are important. You could have an amazing art masterpiece, and it'd still look like poo poo if it doesn't fit in visually with everything else. https://scryfall.com/sets/sta

Endorph posted:i think its fine for something to have an inconsistent artstyle. pokemon for instance has extremely varied cart art. but speaking mostly from second-hand experience magic's artstyle has always looked fairly consistent, so something like that sticks out.                 I stopped playing around the Invasion Block, but I think it was the Ravnica sets or somewhere around there where they really clamped down on art diversity. then they realized they could make bank off selling wildly different artstyles to people and started including alternate arts done by classic artists like Richard Kane Ferguson, Phil Foglio, etc in recent sets. Terrible Opinions posted:It's from the Strixhaven weird art promo set. None of those cards fit with MtG. Same is true of all the promo art sets/secret lairs.

it does suck that people like Harold Mcneill, Terese Neilson, and Seb McKinnon turned out to be monsters(Mcneill is a literal nazi, Neilson started publicly paling around with alt-right types, and McKinnon went full crazy anti-vaxxer during covid and joined the canadian trucker assholes) but of all the faint praise I can give WOTC, immediately terminating contracts and damnatio memoriae-ing people like them is one of the good things they've done, even if it means we lose the sick art they produced16-bit Butt-Head posted:magic has had some cool guest artists like junji ito (ftw) Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Mar 24, 2024 |

Captain Invictus posted:I think a lot of them actually fit perfectly fine in MTG. it's the card frame that doesn't fit. I get why they did it but I don't like it. the art in the mystical archives though is almost universally awesome. and then the japanese versions are even wilder. the Demonic Tutor, Approach of the Second Sun, and especially Counterspell are my favorites. it pisses me off we never got english versions of them except in the digital versions of MTG.

Runa posted:he's issued a correction. as well as an admission that he fell for the misinformation being spread around about the game People got mad enough to send unrepeatable insults because of one throwaway line in the middle of a video? I mean I know gamers can lose their poo poo over the most random things sometimes but sheesh. It doesn’t even sound like it was far off from the truth. Most of the time developers defend pay to win practices with the “you can also earn this in-game” line, what they mean is that technically you can earn it if you have the patience to grind for hours for something the whales just unlock immediately. That sort of thing still counts as pay to win IMO.

Loads of people have been making up poo poo and spreading fake poo poo about Dragon’s Dogma, and many are seemingly proud or unrepentant about it even on these very forums. I think it’s silly that YouTuber fell for it but it’s good they issued a correction at least.

I like Josh's stuff in general and he usually spends hours and hours actually playing the things he makes videos about, it's disappointing he jumped in this bandwagon. Like cool, you apologised but that original video is still there with the misinformation in it and there's no mention even in the description or a pinned comment.

When your whole thing is dives into mechanics or old games, you gotta at least think for a second and go "wait, hold on, locking fast travel behind paying for it seems... odd"

Hey here's a dude who likes to get real nerdy about aquariums and freshwater fish. Cites his sources in video too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UPwcuRIvSA I found this bit of info pretty surprising. Female livebearers have a way of rejecting sperm from first order relatives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tUgPNtLB0c

I mean I know gamers can lose their poo poo over the most random things sometimes but sheesh. The discourse around Dragon’s Dogma is hosed and extremely toxic for no real reason, and people shouldn’t be harassing him over his stupid perpetuation of a lie. The apology and correction are good and better than his first response, a sassy (and still wrong) tweet: https://twitter.com/JoshStrifeHayes/status/1771704807989899501 People are also freaking out and harassing folks who put out positive videos on DD2. Suzi had to add a comment to her video because so many people were flooding the comments to repeat lies and call her the same names Josh got: https://twitter.com/TheSphereHunter/status/1771187839906033912  It’s a wild amount of personal rage for people to having over a good game with some reported performance issues and the same lovely little nagging microtransactions Capcom has been putting on all their games.

Yeah I went and looked into it and apparently this is a big deal somehow? I had no idea. Then again I didn’t even know the game existed until a week ago. Anyway all evidence suggests it was an honest mistake on Josh’s part, the sort that’s going to happen to anyone sooner or later, and he went out of his way to correct it as soon as he could. People calling him an immoral loser or whatever are being a bit overdramatic, to say nothing of all the ones actively harassing him and others.

The DD2 dlc poo poo is insane to me that people are mad about it. It's the same lovely but ignorable dlc that every major Capcom and non souls bamco release has had for the last decade. Pay 5 bucks to get 10 items you'll be able to find in 15 mins! You'll only get suckered into that if you're the kind of moron that bought red orbs from DMC5s dlc shop. Or paying 10 dollars to start with extra healing items in a Tales of game. ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Mar 24, 2024 |

Though I don't know how hobbyists deal with all the babies, I'd go insane. He does pin a comment under that video pointing out that he misunderstood how powerful the sperm selection effect is, which is important if you plan to rely on it as an anti-inbreeding failsafe.

There’s also non white humans in this European fantasy world. Tbh it’s a game that’s a nexus for multiple interminable discourse paths from all sides. The micro transactions and launch game performance aside, it’s a Japanese game and also a challenging game that doesn’t tutorialize or smooth over systems like a AAA game does. It’s primed to invite people to give stupid or ill-conceived takes or rant about “accessibility in Japanese games” in a vaguely problematic way. It’s a niche IP people won’t grit their teeth and swallow as brilliant like Elden Ring. It’s like seeing fresh Demon’s Souls discourse all over again.

I mean I know gamers can lose their poo poo over the most random things sometimes but sheesh. In that video he mentions multiple of those items are easily Craftable or just purchasable in game. The biggest one, the fast travel point is harder in game but it doesnt give you the items need to fast travel to that point and you can still only have 10 active and you'll slowly get those as you need them during the game's run time anyway so you're basically paying 3 bucks to bypass maybe 10 mins of work later at a point in the game you don't need the fast travel point and probably don't want to waste in game money on the items to teleport to them. It's all kind of pointless and a sucker's purchase, just like buying red orbs in DMC for real money.
