the thing about smw2 yoshi's island that gets me is that the apparent pixel size isn't consistent

it looks like someone glued together a scrapbook of wallpaper, newspapers and crayon and they don't go together

it's totally a taste/subjective thing but it looks janky to me

I thought there were some really funny scenes and some touching ones

The structure was fine. I have no idea how someone could call it a terrible movie, unless they hate all modern action movies

Even then, it's better than average

Because almost half of these viewers don’t play the game that they watch, Newzoo speculates that esports live-streams and commentary provide a source of engagement for “lapsed” players who don’t have the skills to keep up with the pros.

I see the acting FBI Director handled this about how I thought it would.

Why anyone thought one man being fired when hundreds of people are likely working on this probe into Trump would cause this to end is beyond me.

How did he handle it?

i feel like everybody loved bioshock infinite

then the last of us came out a couple months later and kicked its ass so hard infinite looked worse in comparison

it was kind of annoying at the time to hear reviewers talking about how they felt like infinite "tricked" them into liking it somehow

how is the show now?

i binged most of the first season until a certain episode/plot moment irritated me. i felt like the show was signaling that it was going to tread water plot wise forever

sorry for COMPLAINING. what i saw was an enjoyable experience, i just need to be in the right mood

i generally don't

but the easiest ways:
friends of friends
friends of girlfriends/boyfriends
participating in some kind of regular club

and then find shared interests/activities. then it just takes effort to spend enough time together to solidify everything. easy mode if you do it with a pre-existing group

the problem is that over time my interests have more and more become intensely solo activities-
single-player and anonymous online gaming

you don't really need all that many friends, especially if you're in a relationship

it would be really nice to have an actual subject matter expert running things someday, but that doesn't seem likely. as a country we've usually voted for the more likable candidate, so i guess this would be the ultimate evolution of that

Yep, futaba definitely makes gamer references

I judge characters by how much they add to the story, and she definitely plays a role. She would be super annoying in real life, though

Maybe I'm getting crotchety- the adult social links were my favorites

To answer your question Strife: Yes you can, but it's ungodly slow. I made the mistake of buying things at one of the desk before I progressed to the next area, so I had something like 97 thousand coins when I needed 100 thousand... and it took forever to get the coins I needed.

Really? I was able to buy everything at both desks. Had you been stealing treasures also? They drop spare coins.

there are various events that multiply your coin number- if you buy everything right before the multiplication things become a pain. i had a feeling it would be that way, so saved directly before buying everything

he's a terrible, unlikable person

that being said, it's good to have terrible people in a show because they drive the action and conflict. the main difference here was that he was the protagonist in a drama as opposed to being the antagonist or in a comedy

it's a similar situation to the main guy in house of cards

if you aren't rooting for the villainous protagonist at least a little there's no reason to watch

I'm kind of surprised to see breloom doing so well

same! the time i tried emerald, i was a little disappointed when my shroomish had to evolve

You... couldn't just prevent evolution?

i still actually want to play the game

breloom's attack is literally three times higher
it is twice as fast
and its special attack is 50% larger

shroomish is ridiculously weak. after learning spore there's no reason not to evolve
i just prefer its design

at the beginning before cap had a grip on the bar on the floor, helicopter could've flown straight up no problem

the guy has super strength, not super weight

after that, cap's strength has always moved at the speed of plot so it's all up for grabs

Real question is, why do people have a second child 'because otherwise the first one will get lonely'?

i have no scientific evidence for any of this, but it's just kinda easier to pick up some social skills if they're interacting with siblings as early as possible. plus, the younger ones will want to "level up" their reading, coordination, things like that if they see an older sibling reading and playing with stuff

also a good opportunity to manually teach older siblings compassion and responsibility outside of school/before they are shuttled off to school and it's mostly out of your hands. i've been aware of parents who had no idea their only child was a bully/pest/whiner/unable to share/etc because they never saw the kid interacting with other kids

in the end it's just way easier to let the kids hang out with each other than having to schedule playdates/events constantly

at least, that's my perception

Persona 5 (PS4)
Pony Island (PC)

persona 5 was fun. i think i've discovered that 3 is the maximum number of times i can whole-heartedly enjoy an iterative formula

persona 3, 4, and 5 were all great, but i don't particularly mind if it takes another 9 years for the next to come out

Combat party was ann/makoto/mona, sometimes with a certain other character swapped in for status cleanses.

It's just so much nicer when everyone is at least capable of healing, and Mona's super crit punches are ridiculously useful

At a certain point the 8 ability limit gets really frustrating

Makoto doesn't really do anything. Not that I hate her- kept her in my main party as much as possible. I just found the adult characters way, way more interesting this time around

Ryuji is a victim of the worf effect. Whenever they need someone to ask a stupid question for the sake of the audience or do something dumb to move the story forward, they make ryuji do it

He's also relentlessly bullied by the rest of the party, which isn't cool

Makoto benefits from the opposite effect- if the game wants to give you a hint, they'll have makoto say it. Unless it needs to come from futaba/Mona special esp senses

My only complaint is that overall it doesn't feel like the characters interact with each other as fluidly as in 4. The characters truly seem like they have nothing in common other than wanting to follow MC/Mona around and get shit done

Akechi also doesn't deserve the bad rap I've seen him get, I think you're supposed to dislike him a little/feel a little threatened by his leadership. Certainly doesn't make him a bad character

Yusuke went from terrible to interesting very abruptly

I didn't really like Ann's social link, but I think they did a good job of making her a reasonable character with diverse strengths and weaknesses

Everyone in the party is pretty much all right

I'm kinda curious about the ffv thing and what makes it so good. Is it just the character class customization?

I finally met someone in real life that said it was one of his favorites, and they implied it was basically that

on the good side, at least the entire list is on the same page and it is easy to navigate. additionally, the games are all mostly actual good rpgs.
on the bad side, it would be nice to see some actual explanation as to why each game was put above or below another

as of right now it just looks like a bucket list of influential rpgs

Yeah the gameplay in 1 actively hinders my desire to replay the series

If you find the combat tedious already, I recommend being a soldier and sniping your way through- at least it will be fast and easy and require the least party/ability management

Grinding is the worst if it's a barrier to something "important"- story, new levels/worlds, etc

I like having the option to grind with some stupid/optional reward, though

Sometimes I do want to turn my brain off a little and just shoot aliens or collect dongles or amass currency.

I just don't quite enjoy breaking up the flow of whatever you're doing. The patrols in destiny (for example) can be pretty fun. However, they were awful when you were required to do about an hour of them between every story mission
