Alright i despise the seagull ending of links awakening to high hell because it defeats a major purpse of the original ending where links supposed to keep the spirit of koholint alive in his memories

HOWEVER

i think its comedic gold for the hero of legend to return to hyrule amd be greeted by zelda and the oracles only for them to realize hes befriended a seagull that likes to sing. do you know how much of assholes seagulls can be? like, the hero of legend just straight up feeding some fries to the seagull and nobody is brave enough to tell him not to. Is the seagull singing? better pay attention or get pecked to death. Theyre far more terrifying than the cuccoos and those things have stripped flesh off of octoroks

That sucks, but it’s also hilarious.

Given how the series is a satire of the Japanese justice system, it’s entirely possible The System just wanted an excuse to get rid of the guy who kept showing up some of the most successful prosecutors on Earth.

In Japanese courts, an accusation leads to conviction more than 99% of the time. The trial is usually just a show, a formality they need to get through before they lock up whoever the police said was responsible.

Meanwhile the police maintain a record of more than 95% of investigations leading to the arrest of the “guilty” party, through a combination of refusing to investigate crimes they don’t think they can figure out (or those which look like they’re too much trouble, like yakuza killings or anything involving politicians) and grabbing a convenient scapegoat if they started an investigation but didn’t immediately find a suitable suspect.

So, a prosecutor forging evidence or beating a confession out of the suspect is just par for the course, a normal part of the pageantry that allows them to claim to be one of the safest countries on earth, showing that they’re tough on crime and super efficient without going to all the trouble of actually figuring out what happened or who’s responsible.

But a defense attorney that actually gets their clients off the hook? That’s rare, and weird, and suspicious as hell. Every move he makes would be under close scrutiny. Is he bribing the judges? Is he being employed by rich, powerful people to keep them from ever paying for their presumably many and horrible crimes? There’s no way that those people are actually innocent, right?

That’s why when you play Phoenix Wright, it’s not enough to say there’s no evidence that your client did it. It’s not enough to prove that the prosecution’s story is impossible. You need to figure out what actually did happen, uncover the real culprit, and present ironclad evidence of somebody else’s guilt in order to convince a court of your client’s innocence.

And if it comes to light that you used forged evidence to get your client acquitted, that just proves what everybody knew all along: the accused is always guilty and anybody who says otherwise is getting in the way of justice.

@siryouarebeingmocked its worth noting that the forged evidence that phoenix was tricked into using forged evidence because a client phoenix took on turned down another defense attorney, and that defense attorney got pissed to fucking high hell at being slighted like this and conspired to ruin phoenix’s life and eventually murdered said client. Though after that guy was locked up thanks to the jury system, Phoenix eventually managed to get his defense attorney badge back.

Many people have joked about how ridiculous the trials are for all the reasons above, but many, not knowing the background, chalk it up to ‘game logic’ - “No way a court would actually work like this in real life!” - unfortunately, the Japanese justice system is just like that

so its straight up “guilty until proven innocent?”

Sanyo ICC-0081 “Mini Calculator”: You can carry a calculator with you now, you never have to make big math in your head ever again!

Math teachers: We will multiply 14,762 times 2,853,654 among others in this test, no calculators allowed

Sanyo ICC-0081 “Mini Calculator”:

Linguists throughout the ages: We have spent lifetimes gathering the significations of words and phrases in various language so everyone can appreciate them as well as possible.

Language teachers: Translate this text, no dictionaries allowed.

Linguists:

Literally thousands of artists, engineers and scientists over the years: Look at all of these awesome tools we made to help artists make more art more quickly and more easily! Now art is much more accessible to everyone!

Art snobs: If you use anything more than a pencil and ink and these specific paints and brushes you’re cheating and not a real artist. Especially if you draw digitally. That’s double cheating.  

Artists, engineers and scientists:

I was always told in math class that I wouldn’t be able to carry a calculator with me everywhere I went.

I’m writing this from my smartphone.

Fuck all my math teachers from 2000-2010 who said this

You know what I always remember?

That post where someone said that the most broken thing ab the current education system is how we are conditioned to work alone and never look for help. This person was telling how they held a seminar for people in a company and there was a task like, to test what hey remembered, and everyone sat in silence and alone until this person was like “uh… you guys realize you can ask for help and consult the material right?”

And like, it’s so dumb. When you’re in a work place, you can do these things. You can (and sometimes must) work with others. You can refer back to manuals and materials, you don’t have to memorize everything and work by yourself.

The education system is dumb as fuck.

*bolts upright suddenly* Oh, Toph didn’t need to have a life-changing field trip with Zuko because she didn’t have a preexisting strong negative relationship with him. I get it.

#also suki met him once when he burned her village #and then he showed up and broke her out of prison #so like #theyre even? #her preexisting negative relationship with him was probably over shadowed by his crazy sister #so they can bond over that (theclichefortunecookie)

This is the FUNNIEST way to put this, like can you imagine this being your first two encounters with somebody? What the heck.

i feel like after the day of the comet, they can bond over making names for themselves and stepping out of the shadows of their parents as they change the world

Why bother looking up new monsters when you can just double the amount of goblins-per-encounter each time the players level up?

I did the math and a deadly encounter for 20th level characters would be 127 goblins.

That’s a lot of goblins.

the party: so what’s the encounter today?

me, pouring over a hundred (100) warhammer figures onto my map behind the dm screen: it might be a dragon

the big villain of the campaign is a Colossal red dragon suit operated by 2,350 goblins
