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.

Okay, that clarifies things.

the director of dragon's dogma 2 (and the original dragon's dogma) specifically dislikes unlimited fast travel and designed both games around somewhat limited fast travel. but lowinfo people who are easily worked up see fast travel dlc and think its a giant scam to not let them teleport everywhere 24/7.

I was wondering if they did any gimmicks based on gender stuff like that ogre from the first game that is programmed to specifically hate and always target female characters in combat if possible. 2024 version seems much healthier.

Yes.

In a fight with an ogre, one of the pawns said "It's perceived what it thinks is a woman! Aught nothing will assuage its wrath!" or something like that, which may allude to how you could crossdress in the first game and make the ogres think you were one or the other. Cause other ogres hate dudes.

here's a fantastic video from Rhystic Studies about one of the most controversial Magic cards of the last decade. Not because of what it does or its power level, you don't even need to know MTG to watch this video. It's about the artwork, and the artist behind it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9P58YG4axY&hd=1
i finally had the time to watch this and it was a fantastic little look at this card that does kind of objectively suck. imo the biggest problem was they had too many rails from corporate they had to stick to that kind of hindered the result for no real benefit. the description she was given doesnt really reflect the visual language used up until that point

her other cards are great. love em

I learned something from uploading my own video that drives me nuts now - you can actually edit Youtube videos after they've been uploaded and public! You can fix incorrect parts by trimming them out or adding annotations (lol google took that away, nvm)! And yet no one seems to do this??

I couldn’t figure it out. I wanted to fix a video of mine and no idea how to do it. But I probably can’t. I just went to replace 20 seconds of misaligned audio

Guppies and Endlers are really cute. 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.

oh thanks, I hadn't noticed that.
I've managed to keep the pop under some form of control by having a few rescued black skirt and glowlight tetras in the (way oversized for guppies) tank with em. They eat some of the small fry. I also attempt to foist as many as possible onto anyone and everyone who will take some. Folks with turtles and large predatory fish will be happy with live feed too.

I have no worries about inbreeding. I add a new male or two to the colony every year, picking out pretty patterns and colours, and OOOH, shiny! They're not only separate families, they're often separate species (endlers and guppies). It's a well stirred gene pool.

Remembering that one dude who thought that the name he picked in the Clouds section of Cyberpunk was the woman's and his increasingly horrified reaction with the fact his V was cuddling with a guy while getting psychotherapy. Which is funny because V even has a safe word to stop things immediately but he just kept clicking through.

Innuendo pretty much dismisses the sub plots and symbolism he just doesn't like(Along with the actual actions of the network) to contort the films here.
These are films about mad-children synthesis with maturity not "Growing out of it" or subversion there of.

Could you be more specific about what they're dismissing? I don't think there is really any degree of synthesis with maturity in The World's End, for example.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Looks like most people use their own, off-line software to fix their videos. How odd!

But yeah, it's nice of YouTube to add some minor functions for people who don't know how to use editing software. :v:

Angel working with graffiti artists is not very still "doing things by the book" as previously defined by the movie. Neither is his acceptance of workplace sexual humor.

The world end's i agree with him is the most messiest film including on this theme but i find "Gary king's dealing with his alcoholism is a Clichéd Sandler-esquse shorthand for maturity therefore it doesn't thematically mean that" just s denial of HOW much he hated that ending rather than a partial defense of it.

I have never heard of Lily Orchard until today. Why is she notable...

quote:

Lily Orchard is a YouTube producer and comedian/critic specializing in animation and television, but her major focus surrounds My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

quote:

She is most famous for her "Steven Universe is Garbage and Here's Why" video.

Ah. Of course. And she's a pedophile you say? Shocking.


Seriously though I hope she burns. Perhaps in hell.

Maybe? I don’t play WoW but that sounds right

She’s the kind of brain dead internet loser that unironically thinks Steven Universe is nazi apologia because the protagonist of a kids cartoon didn’t murder the villains

She also had multiple “I hate Reylo” -tips- in that tweet thread

It was a fun week of dunking
