Although that was the second movie in a row I've seen where millions/billions of people put all their credentials and government level powers in a single piece of software.

unfortunately relevant to today, with how we're all forced to interact with Experian and the other credit companies that keep giving up our personal information

Wouldn't lower apm be better since you do more with less

there's one Starcraft 2 streamer I watch that has a series where he tries to go up the ladder with as little APM as possible, and he gets pretty damn far off of 60-80 APM

APM in that game is usually ineffective APM- stuff like cycling between multiple control groups but not actually issuing orders, mashing keys way more than you have to, rapidly swapping between camera points during downtime. the game does allow you to check EPM (effective APM, so only stuff like actually issuing a move order would count, not selecting the units), and it's usually significantly lower for everyone.

I think the top end of players have 200~ EPM, with some godlike gamers like Serral averaging 300~. but you can get just a few steps away from them with half of that if you react well and have deep knowledge of the game

(if anyone has a spare DnF Duel preorder code for loot in Dungeon Fighter Online and wants to give it away, I'll gladly take one >_>)

The sex scene music in the Rance games is actually a remix of the East German national anthem. Due to miscommunication, the composer thought it was a rough draft and not a reference.

but I separate that from JK Rowling the writer.

i don't cuz she injected a lot of weird shit into her writing, like portraying hermione's anti-slavery efforts in a negative light or naming her one asian character cho chang

Bought 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim today since I read some of the people here claim it as their goty. wanna see if it lives up to the hype.

i havent played it but i'm pretty sure it is the best switch-available game i've yet to play. like holy shit the hype from unexpected angles for this game when it was PS4 exclusive was IMMENSE. pls keep us updated on if you like it

maybe you but i'm on one of the other timelines

ace watkins is president and we're finally recovering from The End Times

not day 1 because i don't have the money to day one buy shit anymore, but maybe eventually on a sale

I don't even know what series you're talking about here, because this doesn't apply to everything I'm thinking of off the top of my head (Gridman, Zambot 3, Combattler V)

the only one I can think of that objectively fits is evangelion, but that's only one show

Id Invaded was some good mystery but it felt prettty blatantly unfinished

Anyone that played FFXI on the OG multilingual servers saw that.

that has more to do with the culture of the game allowing people to be ostracized (plus being influenced by JP mindsets prioritizing group harmony) than anything else. ffxi was its own insular bubble and you can't really draw any sweeping conclusions on the Gamers from it

look at other games like dota. everyone was fucking toxic there except maybe the germans

They remade Final Fantasy Adventure (Adventures of Mana), I wish they'd remake the Final Fantasy Legend series as well.

which one was sword of mana a pseudo-remake of again? because sword of mana was the shit and both of those franchises confuse the hell out of me with how their localized names turned out

I can't get into heavily researched games like chess because I like yoloing too much

You can't just make a random movement in chess and have it be to your benefit unless you're naturally more skilled than the other person. Meanwhile in fps games I'm like they'll never expect me to just run forward and throw a grenade right now

Rune Factory 5 is on Steam now with no performance issues, wonder if it's still worth it cause I heard the gameplay is kind of a step down from 4

It's better in some ways, the same in most ways, and worse in a couple ways. Enemy variety is way worse than 4 (because 4 reused all the sprites from 1-3), there's far less of an endgame (4 has an endless dungeon and the choice to boost monster levels), and there's no NG+. However, combat does feel better being in 3D, and the vast majority of the game's subsystems stayed the exact same despite the massive transition into 3D. The (amazing) crafting system is the exact same, field stats are the exact same, all of the weapons are well represented, etc. My only really big complaint with the game is the performance issues the switch has, which the PC version doesn't suffer from.

Besides being in 3D, the game doesn't really do much new, but I'd say it worked out remarkably well considering how ambitious it is bringing a system like RF4 to 3D and losing very little in the process.

Most of the bachelors/bachelorettes suck, but there IS a succubus waifu, which kicks ass.

I like the 2D games better then the Prime series as well, but actually going back and playing NES Metroid in a universe where Zero Mission exists? Come on...

ok i was mostly thinking 2 (one of the like 7 games i owned on GB, and 3 of them were tetris) and zero mission vs the prime series

oracle of ages is why i'm agesboy, and is in the 4-6 position

seasons is somewhere in the 11-20's, because it took me for fucking ever to get a legit copy

Dikitain posted...

Metroid is a great example

Metroid is actually a point I almost disagree with myself on actually lol. Metroid peaked with 2D sidescrolling action; the demo of Dread was great but the 3D entries of Metroid aren't shit compared to the 2D formula (which they probably felt compelled to invest in, given the times). Mega Man's another I can see; though I'm personally not a fan of any MM, we all know literally noone liked Mighty Number 9.

Dikitain posted...

What I am saying is Zelda 1 isn't one of those games. It is still enjoyable by today's standards even if there are "better" games out there.

As someone who grew up with GBC Zelda games, both 1 and 2 feel unplayable for me. 1 feels strictly inferior to the GBC games (and the original Link's Awakening), and 2 is wat (actraiser without any gimmicks??).

Unless their free game schedule is ramping up, I don't particularly have reason to care any more than my usual approach of checking the store every thursday afternoon.

do play the geneforge 1 remake that they had free a lil while ago, it is probably the third most formative game of my childhood (#2 is tales of symphonia and #1 is golden sun)

Dikitain posted...

You are confusing terrible for simplistic.

I think it's entirely fair to say old games don't hold up now. They literally don't. They were good for their time, but advancements in technology and gaming culture have pushed them away from the title of Best Game Of All Time. Best Game Of Their Time would be a different discussion, but I don't think saying Twilight Princess is a better game than Zelda 1 would be incorrect.

I don't think most old games hold up today, because few haven't been imitated in a superior way (either through official sequels, fan games, or spiritual successors). Even if I have my favorites among old games, I'll easily concede they're not as good as newer counterparts.

Also a potato PC can run Skyrim at this point.

i built my pc for like $600 back in 2012 having only upgraded my RAM and GPU (still both pretty cheap options) since, and skyrim makes me feel like I don't have a bad pc. some mods will make it chug, but that's the nature of mods. game still looks remarkably pretty considering I lag when I mod stardew valley

Oh, you mean the "funny" sexual assault simulators. Nice job leaving that that part out! God you're gross!

chill out, kid

There's a bunch of VNs with JRPG gameplay. The Rance series and other Alicesoft stuff like Toushin Toshi, Castle Fantasia (it was closer to FFT though I guess), WORDS-WORTH (whose hentai spawned the meme horse head guy who had a statement to say about resistance), Ikusa Megumi.... Sakura Taisen games eventually got PC rereleases, but they were after the year 2000.

Most of those are pretty mediocre except for the Alicesoft stuff though.

Finally remember kelvin from black summoner cause wtf name is kelvin for a japanese person?

It's totally a name a Japanese person would pick for a game character though. It's not Kelvin as in a weird variation of Kevin but as in temperature

Agree completely with Pokmon. Imo they're unplayable without modding the hell out of them or running a romhack.

playing that shit in college was a pretty amazing experience but mostly because of the number of players. i remember during the b/w era, i could find others at the food court pretty much 24/7, and it wasn't even a big college

oh god, not activated cheddar

I legitimately do not understand how people today could think Chrono Trigger is the best game of all time except nostalgia, and I've seen that opinion pretty often here.

Guild Wars 2's endgame dungeon system involves a bunch of parallel world and distant past/future scenarios. The Mists are a cosmic anomaly that binds everything together in a time-and-space inconsequential way, so fucky things happen involving The Mists.

Dungeon Fighter Online has a lot of time travel and parallel world shit. One class, the Knight, is deployed throughout the multiverse in search of the scattered fragments of god (and has an advanced class that is fueled by her multiverse comrades/selves). And there's a zone called Time Gate where you just participate in historical events that you canonically were part of all along because closed time loop shenanigans.

Super Robot Wars games are set in a number of different yet incredibly similar universes, with at least one character (Gilliam) being the same actual person dimension hopping around somehow across dozens of games. Another character has been shown to have the role of Time Diver, whose role is to maintain balance throughout the multiverse and across time.

I'd much rather have insincere moral posturing than complete radio silence. Worst case scenario, it makes them extremely easy to dunk on when they're being hypocritical.

Automod usually takes care of things that are easy for a bot to parse, like you don't need human interaction to identify a slur. Kind of weird to have automod remove a post for spam though, were you typing in all caps or something?

there's only so many ways you can spin closeted transphobia before it becomes moddable, and SKARD is very inflexible in his views. he definitely doubled down too many times into purgatory

By past world lifehacks I mean stuff like inventing soap or stirrups, not someone telling him basic information on the current world. I don't think being taught how to cast basic magic- information that he'd probably been told already in the character-creation phase as basic preparatory information- is comparable to like the pharmacy isekai where the MC's knowledge of anatomy and chemistry let him literally synthesize gold from nothing or casually throw out a water nuke

YoukaiSlayer posted...

At that point, wtf is the point of being isekaid?

Black Summoner is actually really interesting because of this, tbh. He doesn't rely on past world lifehacks, he's carried entirely by his minmax gamer personality- so much that he trusts his amnesiac isekai'd self to figure out why he chose the build he did. Absolutely one of the better trashy isekai MCs, especially once things get going.

(he still retains some vague knowledge and sensibilities about his old world, just no memories, hence him saying he was probably a gamer)

only chik-fil-a i know of is in a mall, so i'm assuming they didn't cause traffic issues there

but to be fair they were absolutely the most popular food joint there

I very much agree. People should be more indifferent about what pronouns other people use.

intentionally using wrong pronouns after learning you're wrong because you disagree with their gender identity is hate

SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

No one has suggested the people involved must respect each other.

being a decent human being involves respecting others on a basic level by default, so it's kind of implicit unless you're actively trying to be a terrible person

SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

The words I speak and the text I type are a product of the labor of my body. Any pronouns included therein are my pronouns and no one else has any claim to them or any say in how I use them.

so you're incapable

rip :(

well if you use the wrong pronoun apologize and use the right one, and literally noone is going to ban or prosecute you then

can you do that?

why are you obsessed with other people's genitals

Yes, people who are trans exist. Being trans doesn't change their biological composition.

sex isn't what's being discussed, gender is

because people hate admitting they're wrong, so they'll stick to their guns their entire life if it's something they were convinced to feel strongly about
