I don't exactly watch movies anymore, never exactly kept my own collection once I became an adult.
Still, I do like to keep an eye on the Flashback Cinema program, which cycles a classic movie every week in the theaters that are part of the program. I keep looking to see if Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will show up, and I did recommend it. That said, they apparently ran it March of last year, but I don't think my local theater was in the program yet.
Yeah. And unfortunately, it's one I'm probably not going to take the recommendation on. As I've said numerous times, it's not just their political and reactionary stances as narratives I'm so tired of seeing, it's political and reactionary stances as narratives period.
Political dramas can be great when they don't sound like endorsement for real politics or bashing real people. Political lectures need to burn in hell.
Eh, I'd rather go with Exranzer/Ranger X.
EDIT: I didn't even know where the comparison was coming from. After looking up a video, I do now. That's not just Megaman, that's outright Demons' Souls, god knows how long before Demons' Souls was even around.
Preaching to the choir at this point. And probably going to end up getting u/Kaarous old response to me some time ago becoming a copypasta.
The sole argument for the existence of Yasuke is the Jesuit chronicles of their missions to Japan. Which were filled with nonsense and aren't taken seriously by most Catholics. Several of them were bloating their accounts in hopes of a bishopric.
Nobunaga never mentioned him in his own writings. Which given that Nobunaga would write poems about pretty much anything he laid eyes on, suggests that the two never met. The sole corroborating account stated that one of the missionary priests had a black servant, and they presented him as a curiosity to Nobunaga's court, but there is evidence of nothing else.
Here's another strain on historical credulity. Supposedly Yasuke fought for Nobunaga as a samurai. One of the claims is that he spoke fluent Japanese.
The time period between when they supposedly met and when Nobunaga was assassinated by Akechi Mitsuhide was... three months.
A black guy from what would now be Morocco, probably a slave to the priests, and someone whose language skills would have included mostly broken Portuguese, supposedly learned the second most difficult language on earth in three months. For reference, Japanese has three goddamn formal alphabets.
There is nothing about the story that is historically credible. There is more evidence of Santa Claus than there is of Yasuke. Now if you want a Japanese historical figure that is actually interesting and actually real, I suggest Honda Tadakatsu. He's a real life Hercules.
I even have accounts to some of these, and I don't want to use them anymore. I was okay doing the PlayStation account link when I played the Steam version of Spider-Man, since the account at least existed. It got bonuses, and it really didn't do anything after that. I had Helldivers 2 on my wishlist for a bit until all that shit went down. I want to put Ghost of Tsushima on my wishlist, but I'm not entirely sure where things are going with the account link thing with that game.
I've wanted to try Titanfall 2, never having heard anything bad about the game whatsoever, but that requires an EA account. I actually picked up LA Noire, only to find that has a third-party launcher requirement. The choice of games to put this shit on is getting irritating.
For being mostly controlling a single main character (compared to stuff like Dynasty Warriors with bloated casts), I'd say so. Each stance has its own combos and effects:
-
Earth Stance: Defense and Counterattacks
-
Water Stance: Swift, wide sweeping attacks
-
Wind Stance: Ranged magical attacks, advantageous against demons
-
Fire Stance: Full-on strength, increases in power the less HP you have
-
Void Stance: Inhumanly-fast Iaito, its pace can only be maintained as long as you have high HP
And then there's all sorts of gemcraft magic and the Servants you have fighting alongside you, allowing you to (for a short time), play as a different character. Like all Musou games, it'll mostly be simple fodder enemies; it's the leaders, greater demons, and opposing Servants you have to play skillfully against.
Bastila? Juhani.
