oh i didn't know apex legends was a battle royale game. So you're in a team of three? That's not many people. How am I going to get carried if I only have two other people to drag my limp body across the game map. I think I am going to start this game up and get called a slur like, immediately.

Once more I must cite sources because folks assume you'll take their "nuh-uh" as a sufficient counterargument.

While there's no "official" count, the general consensus is that there are roughly 50 or more errors within the Encyclospeedia. Greeny has documented some of them, as well as CrystalMaiden77:

These are purely factual errors. That's not counting the various formatting, spelling, and grammatical errors:

We've been having this long, drawn-out debate for years because there are many, many layers of inaccuracy, strawman, and ego-flexing going on, but I'll just drop this link to give you a crash-course on the broad strokes:

"ST have been using mandated material to govern Shadow as this edgelord over every writer in the past 14 fucking years" - Sonic Reddit invented the concept of Shadow mandates in response to Shadow's poor portrayal in IDW 19, which spread through fandom-wide games of telephone.

The likelier explanation for why IDW!Shadow is a poor portrayal but Dark Beginnings is not is that Flynn receives more feedback on Shadow because he doesn't understand the character.

You're right, he doesn't hate Amy; he simply described her as "all over the place" and not-so-subtly put her and several other prominent girl characters down, calling Blaze the "singular kick-butt female character" among them, in order to imply his OC Tangle was going to fulfill a role none of them could.

His words. Not mine.

Lol the projection is strong in this one.

If he is a credible source on the basis that he, quote, is a "fan" of the series, then he should know something as basic how Chaos Control works within the context of the game in which the move debuted. You can't pick and choose. Either he's a credible source or he's not.

How Chaos Control works is not particularly obscure knowledge that only The Elitest of Sonic fans have.

The whole "Ian isn't an encyclopedia of perfect knowledge guys, come on" thing becomes especially ironic considering how vehemently you insisted the Encyclospeedia has no errors in it just because You Said So(tm).

Sure, Jan. Whatever you say.

---

"There are completely fair and respectful critiques of Ian Flynn out there that deserve to be heard and taken in. I am not saying his works are perfect and cannot be critiqued. This is just not how you do it lol."

I don't believe you.

Considering you lot go absolutely bananas whenever people contradict Flynn in any way, shape, or form, no matter how neutral the delivery or how heavily it comes attached with sources and screenshots...

...No. I don't believe you when you say you'll allow for "fair criticism," if there even is such a thing to you guys. Everything is considered "disgusting" and "mindless" hate to you, and this entire counterthread is proof of that. You literally opened your thread describing Greeny's points as evidence of a "disgusting" bias. Well, here I am, shoving the sources in your face. Look at them.

Oh, you'll "allow" the existence of opinions you hate, but only if you personally deem them acceptable enough? How very authoritarian gracious of you.

I have seen, with my own two eyes, someone complain that it's our fault that no one can bring up "reasonable criticism" without getting hounded anyway, as if the conclusion one ought to draw from that is Haters Suck(tm) and not that the call has always come from inside the house.

The harsh truth of the matter is this: people are not going to want to bring up any flavor of criticism around you. Ever. Especially not when you descend like a pack of hellhounds and stalk, threaten, and harass over the slightest disagreement.

People hide behind anons and have decided to confine Sonic discussion to private Discords because of the overreactions of people like you, who cannot grapple with reality and instead choose to project all that hate onto someone stating facts.

Sabra...

...has been the premier superhero of Israel for 44 years, you fucking cowards.

...Marvel will be heavily downplaying Sabra's Israeli roots in the upcoming superhero movie, with Marvel.com revealing that Ruth Bat-Seraph never worked for Mossad in the MCU. Instead, she is a "former Black Widow" who now works as "a high-ranking U.S. government official who has the trust of President Ross."

If you don't have the conviction to do the character properly, then just don't do her at all.

I simp for monster men or dudes trying being spooky or intimidating at first but is fronting because they are a shy or lonely.

But are actually a nice guy and a softy when you talk.

I call it sad boy simping.

Tygrus was my first sad boy simp and he at the top of my sad boy simp shelf since I use him a ref if I like a character.

It usually its a character that I will never see again then get shocked they returned.

Forgot the base boyfriend in this game that changes personality and appearance like a Eevee.

Also Gavril after the first Manly let's play.

When I first saw Gavril I was like "He's a cool mysterious dude. Gives me Ok Ko Shadowy Figure vibes." "I'm not going to simp for him." Then the ending where he is nice.

TBT memory to the time I was madly in love with this Gambit concept image and wrote a crappy fic based off of it in a real notebook, not on the computer. (It's from Wizard World Magazine's special X-Men issue back in the early 2000s. Probably 2003 or so.) Doubtful I still have the notebook, but it'd be so cringe if I did.

If anyone's not a giant nerd like me, this is one of several different X-Men concepts that WW asked a comic book artist (I can't remember which one.) to portray. Two I know we eventually got were Emma Frost and Gambit.

Funny part is, he looks like a clean-shaven Nick Bateman to me, just with longer hair. For a drawing, that's some killer cheekbones/jawline. I love the roseyness to his face.

Pinterest

Can't remember the exact quote and I'm too lazy to go get the magazine from my comic book collection, but some higher-up said they would've designed him to be a bit taller and more muscular (I think? I would not complain if he were!!) some other stuff. Like, dude, this is Nick Bateman's version of Gambit, easily, sans bike. (Remy is usually 6'1-6'2, Nick is freaking 6'4.) Nick also has tats IRL. I don't like, but just pointing it out.

Picture from:

Gambit screenshots, images and pictures - Comic Vine (gamespot.com)

Maybe if I get some energy/time, I'll scan in my copy so we can all enjoy it as a larger pic. ((commence drooling.)) Edit: I also drew it. Don't know if I still have that drawing or not, but I went through a phase where I put it and other fan art up on my wall, I think? Or maybe I'm mis-remembering. I don't think I was THAT brave as a teenager to just put a shirtless guy on my wall. (That came later in my mid 20s, another dumb, DUMB phase. I was stuuuupid.)

I had ChatGPT generate a Paper Mario/Mario Story plotline based on a specific prompt I gave it, due to a GameFAQs topic. The result was...just see for yourself.

The GameFAQs topic- Use ChatGPT to create sequels to games - Nintendo Switch (gamespot.com)

The prompt

"Give me a sequel to the first three Paper Mario games (Paper Mario 64, Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, and Super Paper Mario) that ignores the later three games and acts like they never happened. Have it so the game has friendly species like Whittles, Lochladies, Jibberjays and Piantas, and make up one new friendly species. In addition, have no Toads appear or even be referenced at all. Further, have a moral in the story be that it's important to stand out and how it's a bad thing to keep one's head down, as well as it being OK to question things. Last, have the world be a literal storybook with jokes and comments making fun of many storybook tropes."

The result

"The game starts in Mario's house, where he receives a mysterious letter from the Whittles. They are in trouble and need Mario's help to defeat a new villain that emerged in their forest. Mario sets out to find the Whittles and discovers that there is a bigger problem at hand. The villain, known as the Storyteller, has taken over the entire storybook world, and all the friendly species are his prisoners. Mario must team up with the Lochladies, Jibberjays, Piantas and a new friendly species known as the Lumobits to stop the Storyteller and restore peace in the storybook world. As Mario travels through the different worlds, he notices something odd. All the characters he meets have the same personalities, and they are afraid to question or stand out. Mario realizes that the Storyteller has removed individuality from the characters and turned them into cliché storybook characters. Along the way, Mario encourages the characters he meets to stand out and be different. As Mario faces the Storyteller, he must also confront the fact that he has always been a stereotypical hero, and he has never questioned why he is always chosen to save the day. The game concludes with Mario defeating the Storyteller, freeing the friendly species, and encouraging everyone to stand out, be unique, and question things. Throughout the game, there are jokes and comments that make fun of many storybook tropes, such as the "damsel in distress" or the "wise old mentor." The game also features some platforming elements, as well as turn-based battles with unique mechanics for each of the friendly species. And to honor your request, there are no Toads in this game, and the friendly species mentioned in the games are prominently featured."

Now, I only did this for the GameFAQs topic, and would never seriously use this thing to write an entire story of any kind. I'm no techdudebro- I believe the best stories come from the heart. I probably accidentally made it smarter feeding it that prompt. HOWEVER...you all saw that, right? While it essentially repeats what I told it (over and over), doesn't mention any other Mario mainliner or RPG species beyond what it was told, and is a slight cold reading, the robot still reverse-engineered a pretty cool idea!

Discovering the Best Runes in Diablo 4: Tips and Tricks

Introduction

As the highly anticipated release of Diablo 4 approaches, gamers all over the world are eagerly waiting to explore the dark and fantastical world of Sanctuary once again. One of the most exciting aspects of Diablo 4 is the new rune system, which promises to offer a lot of depth and customization for players to explore. In this article, we will take a closer look at the best runes in Diablo 4 and provide you with some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of this exciting new system.

The Basics of the Rune System

The rune system is a new feature in Diablo 4 that allows players to customize their characters in a more meaningful way than previous iterations of the game. Each rune has a specific effect that can be added to a skill to modify its behavior. Runes are found in the game world and can be collected by players as they progress through the game.

The Best Runes and How to Use Them

There are a few runes in Diablo 4 that stand out as particularly powerful and versatile, and these runes are likely to be sought after by most players. Let's take a look at some of the best runes and how to use them:

Echoing Blast

Echoing Blast is a rune that can be added to the Sorceress' Meteor skill, making it much more powerful and effective. When added to Meteor, Echoing Blast causes additional meteors to fall from the sky in a wide radius around the initial impact point, dealing massive damage to any enemies caught in the blast. This can be used to devastating effect, particularly in large groups of enemies.

Greed

Greed is a rune that can be added to the Barbarian's Whirlwind skill, which allows the player to move around the battlefield quickly and deal damage to multiple enemies at once. When Whirlwind is modified with Greed, it gains a powerful lifesteal effect that allows the Barbarian to heal themselves for a portion of the damage dealt. This can be invaluable in long fights or when surrounded by enemies.

Soulfire

Soulfire is a rune that can be added to the Druid's Feral Rage skill, which is a powerful melee attack that can deal massive damage to enemies. When modified with Soulfire, Feral Rage gains a fire damage effect that can ignite enemies, causing them to take additional damage over time. This makes the Druid a potent damage dealer and crowd controller.

Blood Moon

Blood Moon is a rune that can be added to the Necromancer's Blood Nova skill, which allows the player to deal damage to all nearby enemies and heal for each enemy hit. When modified with Blood Moon, Blood Nova gains a massive damage boost that can wipe out entire groups of enemies with ease. Additionally, Blood Moon causes all enemies killed by Blood Nova to explode, dealing even more damage to nearby enemies.

Conclusion

The rune system in Diablo 4 adds a new layer of depth and customization to the game, allowing players to truly make their characters their own. By utilizing some of the best runes in the game and combining them in creative ways, players can create powerful and devastating character builds that will dominate the battlefield. Whether you're a seasoned Diablo player or new to the franchise, we hope this article has provided you with some useful tips and tricks to help you get the most out of this exciting new feature.

Can you do an analysis on shadow's line in battle where he says "if the world wants peace they'll have to destroy us first" ?

Sorry for the delay; I'm pretty sure I've discussed this particular scene before but since Tumblr's search system is massively unhelpful, naturally I can't link you to the post. So we'll be looking at it again :P

This time I'll be relying on TheSinnerChrono's transcript of the game instead of screenshots because this post would otherwise become way too long and unruly. Here's the link:

Sonic Battle - Game Script - Game Boy Advance - By mtkennerly - GameFAQs (gamespot.com)

---

First thing to note is that Shadow is experiencing a lot of internal conflict about being a weapon of war vs. being an autonomous being with a heart and mind of his own.

The way this conflict presents itself is via stubborn denial for much of his story. Shadow tends to reject emotion for the most part, considering it weakness, but for a few notable exceptions.

When he encounters Sonic for the first time, Shadow's story noticeably omits his demand that Sonic hand over Emerl and the ensuing fight, in the usual Rashomon style these Adventure-era games tend to tell their stories with.

However, Sonic's "He's at Tails' place" and "Why are you after him, anyway?" imply this is not the first time he's pursued Emerl. I would argue that this omission fits Shadow's general trend of denial.

What we get from here is an interesting back-and-forth between Sonic and Shadow about the Chaos Emeralds, the Gizoid, and whether "weapons" have hearts.

I find this conversation interesting, and not just because it's the polar opposite of the scene in IDW 6. It's interesting in that it's a rare occasion where Shadow and Sonic bandy words without devolving into a physical fight, and those words furthermore tackle some pretty heavy concepts of identity, power, and war.

Especially war.

Battle's anti-war message is about as subtle as a tire iron to the face. While SA2 only alluded to cultural fears of WMGs with its hint-dropping about the development of the Eclipse Cannon, Battle takes the ball and runs with it, making not only Emerl but Shadow question their very identities as instruments of destruction. And then furthermore has the other characters wax poetic about it.

Worth noting as well that Sonic's insistence that Shadow has a heart matches Shadow's vehement denial of that very concept, leading to a stalemate where Sonic surprisingly relents Emerl. Shadow wore him down with his angsty emo shit lol.

The stark difference in Sonic and Shadow's mindsets becomes clear when you consider their word choice. Shadow strictly calls Emerl's power "power," while Sonic calls the power bestowed by all seven Emeralds "unlimited energy":

Shadow: "Right now, its true power lies dormant."

Sonic: "I've heard that he who collects 7 'Chaos Emeralds' will be granted unlimited energy."

To Sonic, this energy is morally neutral. It is not inherently destructive. His wording reflects not only his thinking, but his personal experiences in wielding Chaos Emerald energy for good.

Shadow, however, deems the pursuit of power an inherent path to ruin, tainted by mankind's thirst for war. As a living manifestation of that desire - or so he thinks - he insists on dehumanizing himself. Numbing the part of himself that feels and cares is the only way his conscience will stop screaming at him.

As has been pointed out numerous times before, this scene directly contradicts the moment in IDW 6 where Sonic brings up Shadow's past sins in order to win the argument about Mr. Tinker:

Instead, we have Sonic arguing for Shadow's heart, as well as the idea that Shadow once acted for the good of humanity and can do it again.

The real irony here is that Battle!Sonic is actually being a little bit of that bleeding-heart "everyone is good deep down" moral champion IDW fans think IDW!Sonic is, what with his whole spiel about "if you have a heart, there's no way you could use your power for the forces of evil."

The important caveats to keep in mind, however, are that:

A.) Sonic has seen proof of Shadow's heart for himself; he doesn't make his argument despite a lack of evidence, unlike Eggman, for whose supposed "goodness" he struggles to think of a single example. He clearly states "Maybe you've forgotten, but I seem to recall you saving humanity at some point." So his argument is not just him blowing flower petals up Shadow's ass - it's grounded in fact. Whether or not Shadow wants to face those facts lies on Shadow.

And B.) Sonic is probably waxing poetic this hard because Shadow's being equally stubborn in insisting that he's just a tool of destruction. His self-dehumanization, in fact, appears to disturb Sonic in a way we seldom see in other games:

Sonic suggests Shadow and Emerl play some games together. Shit's probably getting too heavy for him and he's getting freaked out, in addition to simply wanting Shadow to wisen up.

Shadow regularly says stuff like "Weapons have no need for a conscience" and "There's no need for a weapon to have feelings," and it's clear the so-called "weapon of war" doth protest too much. He wouldn't be pointing out the folly of Real Boy Feelings(tm) if on some level he wasn't suffering the cognitive dissonance of having them. His disgust at Emerl acknowledging his own capacity for feeling joy and friendship at the end of his story pretty much confirms this.

But even more interesting than that is his dour outlook on humanity: he feels it's a given that mankind must destroy the instruments of its own destruction if it ever wants peace. That it's a weapon's fate to be used and discarded precisely because, in his misanthropic view, humanity is foolish, belligerent, and greedy:

However, despite Shadow's brooding observations, the scene ends on a lighthearted note, with Sonic laughing "Some ultimate weapon you are!" in Emerl's wake:
