        I am cringe and that's based.
        I will never be based and that's not cringe.
        Only I can be.. me.

      I've taken up vocal training. As it turns out, I'm super bad at it. Turns out, you can't get the hang of it in under a week.

        If you enjoy it and practice long enough, you will improve. And if you decide it's not for you, there are soo many other things to discover and enjoy!

      "Rat-like" probably shouldn't be a word used to describe someone, and yet....

        I feel like we should tone down the way we deragotorize rats and other rodents, because rodents really aren't that bad. Unless you're a bad rat owner, but that goes for any pet. This is probably just my rodent bias shining through.

        I do get what you mean though.

      Nothing is more rage inducing than someone who has no idea what they're talking about, rattle off like they know more than you.

      Why are pokemon rom hacks always made to rig things for the ai like 50x over? Rigging rng is the wrong kind of hard.
      1. GyroscopicGraphite
        GyroscopicGraphite
        Do they do that? Pokemon does have enough rng checks that you could fail enough for it to feel like that. Especially a rom hack that might reduce chances or add new moves/mechanics with thier own randomness. Actually rigging chances, however, is pretty scumbag, yeah.

        Actually, I'm pretty sure that some streamer (Smallant?) beat one of the base games modded to rig every single chance in the NPC's favor. Maybe the rom hackers are just getting desperate? The only other options are just competive tournament setups and bullshit stat buffs, and even then, Pokemon fans always find a way...

        Yeah, no. Double criticals, the ai reading your inputs and switching on it’s turn immediately from its declared move, full five turn sleep, landing an 10% freeze chance on the first hit, among other things.

      "My Isekai Life: I Gained a Second Character Class and Became the Strongest Sage in the World!" .....what's the plot though?
      1. Thorn_
        Thorn_
        That's a thought. A thought isn't the same as a plot.

        I'm confused. The plot is "OOooOoOOo I discovered how to do X (in this case, be a second character class) and am now busted OooOoOo".
        Usually implies a subplot about obliterating the generic mega-evil demon lord and also a harem of various achetypes, as per the genre.
        Yet another mid anime content-farm esque isekai.

        Just felt I had the old one for so many years, was kind of tired of it, especially the one I made when I was younger. My only problem is I had to take underscores because this was taken otherwise.

        Yep, this is what Ascendance of a Bookworm does particularly well. While Villainess handwaves all those issues by having the protagonist simply largely have amnesia of her past life, and having the hero of Shield Hero be a bit too quick to set aside his cognitive dissonance surrounding slavery,

        Bookworm has Myne, despite attempting to conceal the fact that she's from a much more modern world than what she was reincarnated into, have the most trouble hiding her societal ideals. Though she's very clever, her idealism leads her to trouble a number of times.

        The charm of SI is being inserted into loved franchise and being able to interact with characters (or make harems - but that is other can of worms) and change some events. The cheat skills are to empower the SI ti make changes... but most authors forget, that they already have a cheat skill by being SI - the foreknowledge.

        It's like that reverse flash meme unironically: "Remember that time, there was those two dalish elf lovers where the male was insecure about not completing his hunt? It was us, warden! Using blood magic to scare away the wildlife!" barely a step above that.

      Played a bit of Veilguard...gotta say...this really blows. It acts and plays like a Marvel Avenger's movie in a negative sense.

        I like the second okay, not great. Maybe like it more now in relative sense to the following ones. And, won't just keep commenting, small update: Harding gets superpowers. Really. This really is just Dragon Age: the Avengers.
