@KindaFunnyVids Good as time as any to remind everybody that while Kinda Funny can't contribute to Fortune’s Weave Metacritic score, they're still a part of The Game Awards voting jury
@Peepeenemue I sincerely don't care about the outcome of the poll; I would’ve voted for Lissa anyway if I had even known it was a thing. I just think telling somebody that they're in the wrong for being upset that the results of their poll was affected in a way they disapprove of is asinine
@colorstorageguy@bonkmesome@alazoneia It was a repost to the poll itself with the comic stating that a specific reward would be created solely as a result of the poll's outcome. Yes, that is absolutely a bribe. Otherwise, why wait for the poll’s results?
@bonkmesome@alazoneia Theres a difference between making art in support of a character and suggesting you’ll make risqué art of the character if they win. One’s support, the other’s a bribe.
+ its up to the poll creator to take it however serious they want. If they don’t like it, they don’t like it
Would it be hyperbolic to say that whatever direction Intelligent Systems goes with for this character will influence the future of Edelgard discourse?
Because she is very clearly an allusion of a tortured, post-Three Houses Edelgard, right?
@AnnaCabana1121 I agree that it's not justified but I think it's silly to assume that there no reason behind the vitriol. People don't just get defensive over things out of nowhere, it comes from pushback over having an opinion that the fanbase at large disagrees with and often doesn't respect
@ThornVaux@Tokyo_Manila@GameXplain You can still download games on the Wii despite it having launched 20 years ago and the service shut down in 2019. While your concerns are valid, your argument hinges on something that won’t happen for multiple decades. You understand why people think your stance is weak, right?
@_danpar It seems like that first picture is combining the look (and referencing the name) of Gort from 1951’s The Day the Earth Stood Still with EarthBound's Starmen (who are also based off Gort). Nice catch!
@kioaika @Xuanathame Nah, I say keep calling people out when they treat others in the fandom like that imo. The fact that people were saying stuff like this 2 years ago for liking a game is insane
@AlmsEpoch @soopington Three Hopes was discounted down by 50% five months after it launched after it was already discounted the month before in October

@tesnon2@happycricketbox Yeah it’s conjecture, OP isn't a fortune teller, they're just expressing an opinion. But when they see the 130 characters in FEH, 14 figures, a Smash Bros fighter, an exclusive spin-off, and now a sequel, I don't blame them for being concerned the series will see a shift
@tesnon2@happycricketbox Of course I wouldn’t because Path of Radiant wasnt a massive financial success that outsold 90% of the franchise. Three Houses' potential influence on the series isn’t being measured by it getting a sequel, that's been done before, it's measured by its sales numbers and acclaim
@tesnon2@happycricketbox Considering Three Houses and Engage were developed simultaneously and the series then jumped back to the Three Houses style, due to its popularity, *after* that radically different game, I'd say yeah kinda
If we're going to criticize art styles, at least articulate your criticism in a way that doesn’t inadvertently burn the very artist youre trying to prop up. Mika Pikazo has held solo art exhibitions, pop-ups, etc. worldwide; she and Kurahana are much more than just vtuber artists
Since Fire Emblem: FW was shown, I keep seeing Mika Pikazo being derogatorily labeled as a "vtuber artist" in comparison to Chinatsu Kurahana's work on Three Houses and Fortune's Weave… despite the fact that both artists having designed vtubers in the past. One each specifically
@gay_oil_spill@SoopaExile You can if you want to stop anymore people coming out to reply! I generally just mute discussions if they start getting too much attention but deleting's fine too. I apologize if people are being rude.
@gay_oil_spill@SoopaExile Maybe. The only games I could tell that are comparable are things like The Legend of Elliot/Octopath Traveler 0 ending the Partner Showcase in July but yeah, there hasn’t been an FE title in years
