It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Xii is definitely the most underrated FF game

I want a mod that replaces Vaan with Xi now

Additional hot take: X & X-II are the most overrated FF games. Fuck blitzball

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a backseat player, I wanna fight you.

[–] dannoffs@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a proud beta male, normally I would run from a fight but I think I can take anyone who would be upset about me shit talking FFX.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're fortunate I don't care that much about the franchise as a whole, especially not enough to argue past the Sepiroth fanart getting exhausting in its quantity in my Livejournal days.

I've always been a Dragon Quest guy which makes shit posting about FF way more fun. I've literally only played FF 7, 10, and 12 lol.

Edit) and 15 but that almost feels like it doesn't count

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

15 is one of my favorite DMC games.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never played any Dragon Quest, i'm interested though since they seem to have stayed more true to the old school format than FF has. You have some recommendations?

[–] dannoffs@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

With my nostalgia glasses on, DQ3 will always have a soft spot in my heart but 5 is usually considered the best of the 2D games. 11 is also amazing and all the QoL features made it frustrating for me to play any other RPGs for awhile

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

9 is worth playing for Vivi and Quina

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even though i like X, its probably the only one that is overrated at all. I think most of them seem to be rated about right, except xii like i said.

I'll have to agree to disagree on blitzball though, its awesome. Definitely sucks at first until you fire most of the original team and recruit a bunch of ringers though lol

[–] dannoffs@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, I like X as a whole but it's definitely the most overrated.

But "blitzball isn't fun until you break it" doesn't really seem like a ringing endorsement of the mini game lol

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

michael-laugh that's a good point. I think I've actually been able to enjoy without completely breaking it, but i sure as hell had to break it to enjoy it the first time

The Rogue Tomato was the best boss in the entire series.
