Fantasian rumoredThat game has looked pretty intriguing ever since I first saw it. I don't really like gaming on my phone or tablet, so I'd be pretty happy to be able to give this game a try on the Switch (or other consoles).

people really think it would have been better if mary sue rey literally had no connections to anyone important because "it shows anyone can be hero"
even though the fact she was so strong with the force without any training whatsoever was supposed to imply she wasn't just anyone. at least her being Palpatines daughter explains her powers and connection to the skywalkers, like why lukes lightsaber reacted to her
If only some vague change had come about that could have opened new possibilities, like maybe if the Force had awakened or something.I've not rewatched the sequels in a while, but I'm pretty certain that this was explained in TFA and TLJ as the Force essentially choosing Rey to be powerful.
Perhaps Earth's inhabitants are actually from those planets then. Disaster was looming and everything migrated to what Earth is today. The Ancients left behind everything they did and went extinct possibly from incompatibility with the planet, and evolved into what humans are today.That wouldn't explain how humans and their ancestors very clearly evolved alongside with the rest of the organisms on the planet. We can maybe argue about the possibility of these hypothetical aliens causing some kind of "panspermia" type of life seeding, but I'm fairly certain that our current understanding of biology is pretty confident that life on Earth shares some sort of common ancestor in the far distant past. It seems pretty improbable for intelligent life to purposely come to Earth, eventually devolve into single-celled organisms without creating their own huge deviations, and then re-evolve into totally different lineages of intelligent life again.
That's kind of like proving a negative, but uh, Sekiro would be a worse game if it had weapon options like Dark Souls does.I think they meant an example of an actual choice or QoL feature that was added to a game that actively made the game worse and not a hypothetical change that could possibly make a game worse if said a change was implemented. And I don't think the existence of an entirely optional weapon really makes Bloodborne a worse game or that Bloodborne would be noticeably better without that weapon's inclusion.
Bloodborne would be better if Ludwig's holy blade wasn't in the game. Or at least if its scaling was massively reduced.
And we still cant play it without a ps3
Sign of MGS4 port?Considering they just released what was labeled as Volume 1 of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection, I'd say there's a pretty good chance that MGS4 will be coming to modern consoles in Volume 2.
The dedicated Quidditch video game comes out in September I believe. So we'll see how popular it is soon.Woah, I hadn't heard about that! I loved the old PS2 Quidditch game, so hopefully this one will be fun as well.
HorizonI'll never understand this. I mean, I get that Aloy isn't some kind of superhot model in skintight/revealing clothing or anything, but I think Aloy looks great.
Nice. Been considering building a Gunpla at some point, but my motor skills arent great so Im a little nervous about screwing it upAll you really need to get started are a kit, a pair of nippers, and maybe a hobby knife, so you could get a good feel for the hobby with about $30 or less. I would recommend either finding one of the cheaper, more simplistic HG kits (like a grunt suit you enjoy the look of or something) and/or one of the newer Entry Grade kits and try them out. I've been consistently impressed with the Entry Grade line, so I can absolutely attest to them being great starting points that require no extra skills or tools to make nice, color accurate models.
How does it even work? Like is the whole thing on the knuckles cartridge or does it use assets from what you plug in?I looked that up a few years ago because I was also curious about it. Here's a pretty good Stack answer on how Sonic & Knuckles "Lock-On" technology works. It's pretty interesting!
What does make the leveling mechanics bad is when you don't know that over leveling your HP can make the final boss completely impossible, and also don't know how to not, until you get to said final boss and have to just look up the ending on youtube.I don't recall having that many issues with the HP percentage-based attacks when I originally played FFII on PS1, and the newer releases are even easier than that. Just gotta make sure you get plenty of evasion training to avoid getting hit as much (which should come just as naturally, if not more so, than HP). Honestly, if your HP is so high that percentage-based damage and absorbing is outcompeting the damage that you're doing, then what you probably need is a lot more strength or weapon levels to boost your damage instead of intentionally trying to keep HP levels low.
It was my sixth FF game, you see, and following typical FF logic--hell, typical RPG logic--hell, typical human being logic--you let your HP get low before curing it (I know, unthinkable isn't it) instead of making sure you end every battle above some arbitrary threshold so that you don't level up.
...
Gracious, just writing that out makes it blow my mind all over again. What were these people THINKING?
They did leave in that blood sword cheese... But as luck would have it, this being my sixth game, I decided you know, for once I'm gonna sell all this shit I always hoard and never end up needing. Womp womp.
people talk about how bad 2 was.Pure slander. FFII is a fine game (at least the modern releases) with some good characters and a decent enough story considering it came from the NES era. Its only issues are that it's a bit removed from the rest of the series mechanically speaking (though that doesn't make the leveling mechanics bad, per se) and that the non-Pixel Remaster versions are a bit grindy, especially since most of the guest party members come to you with poor stats and little or no magic.
There are 20% of non Jewish Arabs in Israel. I imagine there's still some discrimination that they should have legal protection from, but that'd ideally be closer to the path of any one state solution. Ideally being the key word...Oh, sure, this idea is definitely better than literally wiping the Palestinians out and destroying Palestine as a whole, but it would still have a pretty clear agenda. Considering one of the options being thrown out there is literally genocide, some kind of "forced assimilation" would undoubtedly be better, but that doesn't mean it isn't still bad.
A non apartheid one state solution doesn't mean "wiping them out" does it?Hopefully not, or at least not through direct violence. I imagine it would be more like how the US took Native American children from their tribes and native cultures and to teach them to "be white." This would eventually remove any sort of Palestinian influence in their upbringing and make them more in line with Israeli thinking and culture.
i do genuinely wonder how this situation ends. Im doubtful that Israel stops even if Hamas surrenders at this point, so theyre not gonna surrender and leave themselves open like that.A nihilistic view but probably the one that will end up being the most accurate.
I cant even envision a peaceful, non-genocidal end to all of it
You wouldnt really be paying for faster gaming anyway. Youd be paying to not get your shit throttled.Which should definitely fall under the "no throttling" rule, right?
It's not so much that it's a huge chore as $50k is not a huge sum. Not if you assume you have multiple decades left to live.And with some smart use of this ability, you could probably leverage the "pretty privilege" to get an extra $50,000+ in net worth along the way.
Yes. Thats the third worst movie about a guy who dresses like a bat to fight crime.Really? I thought most of the internet hated Batman v Superman way more than The Dark Knight Rises?
Nolan had no problem making some incredible Batman movies with the no kill philosophyBatman definitely killed people in those movies. Or at the very least, he explicitly caused damage that directly resulted in several deaths and went out of his way to let people die when he could have otherwise saved them.
