Hot takes

[moonbits]

I actually had Guilty Gear in mind for that post, too. The most recent game looks way worse than the older ones. I don't really think any currently-active fighting game series looks good at all.

Strive is dangerously cheesy cringe

Since Gorse brought up SF I'll follow it up:

Guilty Gear's visual design and theme have taken an absolute nosedive since Xrd. While technically impressive it doesn't look even remotely as cool as XX. The music in particular is the most painful one.

GG lost all the "edge" after XX

Am I the only one who didn't really like both the Cowboy Bebop movie (Knockin' on Heaven's Door) and the Trigun movie (Badlands Rumble)? They both have the same issues: generally-uninteresting plots completely divorced from the main series, little time spent on the original casts in favour of bland new characters, and a complete disregard for many of their IP's most interesting sci-fi concepts. Neither one serves as a particularly strong representation of either series.

Nobody ever talks about either film, so I don't know if this is really a hot take or not, but I think they're both QUITE POOR!!!!!

I think the worst filters are the bilinear ones and the xbrz ones since the former make the game look like you need glasses and the later just distorts stuff beyond recognition

Get the wooden nails ready: I don't really like Kefka as a villain.

Persona 4 is not the best Persona game and I will stand by that.

Of course it's not, it doesn't have the cohesive thematic of Persona 3 nor the improvement of Persona 5. It's in an awkward middle ground where the dungeons aren't procedural but are even more annoying because of that.
The dialog were good though, and people forget that Persona 3 backstory was kinda disappointing after that fantastic atmosphere.

.... And Accent Core ? That's my favorite one !
But yeah, didn't liked how Xrd toned the speed down... And hated how Strive is more like a wacky Street Fighter rather than a proper Guilty Gear... Worst thing is that it worked so now i can't hope Arc Sys will ever going back...

I saw the Bebop movie in theatre and have forgotten a lot of it. It's got some good character bits, but overall is just a very long drawn out episode of the show. Badlands Rumble has the same problem, but does make for a good mid series watch.

I think that calling something or someone "pretentious" is self-defeating.

I also love to use "10 dollar words" and think the more unusual language we can employ in everyday speech and writing, the better.

Tea is just disgusting leaf water and coffee is just disgusting bean water

you have been banned from the British club for tea lovers! How dare you insult tea? Do you not know that WARS were fought for tea ? Do you know how much tea has an impact on people lives?

For millions of years people drank tea its the natural drink of life , disrespecting tea is unforgivable crime.

People are as responsable as the companies for recieving crap since we keep consuming it

Why PS5 has gotten away with it going Apple or we still get crap adult "Comedies" like Big Mouth or that drek that is Mr Birch? because we keep buying them

Me like bread with ketchup :3

YESSSSS , people keep crying why this game sucks or that game has woke politics but continue to buy it or support the company

This is what is pissing me off about WarCraft 3 people complain reforged is bad but continue to play it , well solution is simple boycott but nope lets buy the game play it again and again and proceed to complain.

Even from an ethical perspective blizzard is a scum company having workers who harassed women in the company stealing breast milk and doing other nasty stuff but nooooo play the newest WOW expansion that has 2 reskinned races what an absolute joke...

I hope people finally vote with their wallets.

I think most health departments share this hot take!

Netflix, Xbox game pass, and all that is bad for you as a consumer yet people pretend they save money on it.

Netflix also kills cool shows out of "lack of popularity" yet they keep greenlighting crap like Tall Girl

Listen, I'm glad for people who can like tea, and I'm very clearly the odd one out here.

I just think it's kind of a waste for people to have gone to war over something that to me just kinda makes water worse.​

I came with that up for comedic effect I doubt wars were fought for tea.

Of course its a strange opinion but trust me you gonna save money for not liking tea

I mean, there were several wars where tea was a factor. A few wars back during the period of colonization were fought to maintain tea being part of the trade that Britain was receiving, and the Boston Tea Party pretty directly escalated into the American Revolution.

As for wars fought entirely for tea, that I don't know if it happened for sure, but I really don't think it would just be off the table. Wars were started for less.​

Yes trade purposes were indeed a reason for conquest and aggressive expansion

Spices are an example for this.
