action/platformer speedruns: yea we have to do 100 frame perfect tricks to clip through all these sections and it's all skill based and precise practice and speed

old jrpg speedruns: WE HAVE TO TORTURE THE GAME BY RIPPING ITS SOUL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH DR MARIO TO FORCE IT TO DO OUR BIDDING

The game also has a wide range of detailed sprites for her so even with the limited vocabulary she can mime her way through lots of conversations

On a related note I can’t imagine paying the money needed to put games like persona 3 reload on it day one and paying for exclusive marketing rights (for two days) was worth the money either way

Game Pass has been one massive unforced error since its inception

I remember when Microsoft ran a $1 30 day trial during Halo Infinite's release window, which let everyone play their brand new $500-million-budget shooter for $1, then drop their subscription before renewal lol

There was probably a way around it but I had no idea what to do and the game wasn’t giving me an indication how to sneak around

I recall hearing about how it was partially made/funded to show off color TVs so that makes sense

THIS ONE IS SO MUCH WORSE (BETTER)

screencap from the anime To Love Ru Darkness 2nd, where the subtitles read "If I use trans and they find out my identity, it would be bad."

Transformative Weapon getting shortened to Trans in the To Love-Ru translations has some pretty incredible results in 2025

a screencap of the anime "To Love Ru Darkness 2nd," where the subtitle says "As expected of trans!"

These had so many scanlationisims, that’s a pretty nasty “as expected of”

The manga translations I read did the same thing

Especially since it’s only on gameboy advance

In addition to RD generally being harder than PoR

Custard @mcustardo.bsky.social · 17d

Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn have a really bad example of this since the English PoR hard mode is Japanese normal mode so it’s pretty easy, while RD’s hard mode is the Japanese hard mode so it’s actually one of the harder non bullshit difficulties in the series

Yeah you gotta give people time to sell their possessions and enough time to use the money so they have the motivation to do so how else are people supposed to take advantage of all the cheap items

Custard @mcustardo.bsky.social · 18d

It still is a fantasy but only because no trial is too great for Shinobu ass

Fire emblem alternates between having their hard modes be a fair challenge compared to the honestly too low difficulty of the base game to having the harder difficulties be blatantly untested
