Also there is character building, geez you said you were getting through the tutorial phase, bo. You can grind SP for no real reason though a player would probably just get enough just playing normally.

It isn't bad. The pacing is good and the game feels pretty smooth. There are some nice things like the red dots to tell whom you have talked to and little green arrows to show what doors work, but there are also a lot of very un-intuitive things like the enemy health bars that are center-aligned and places that are hard to tell where you can walk.

The character development system is ok but pales in comparison to something like Octopath.

All-in-all it is a nice game; much better than other AAA titles that have come out. I just don't see anything that would lead me to re-play it yet.

Final Fantasy VI actually though it does a lot of its own things. It does pull inspiration from many classic rpgs, there isn't a combat system really like it out there that I can think of.

The combat system is pretty much the same as Rise of the Third Power.

All the time in the car. I'd guess 1-2 hours 5 days a week.

There has never really been a reason to own Playstation or Xbox consoles since I have always had a gaming-level PC.

NIntendo always has exclusive games, though, so that + PC has allowed me to play any game I've wanted to for the last 20+ years.

Not enough character-building and no grinding makes it meh for me so far.

I'm just getting through the 'tutorial' phase, though.

what confuses me though is, why?

i thought the younger you are, the more tech literate you are

where is that knowledge going instead?

Kids only use smartphones/tablets and apps, not computers.

First of all, Starcraft is all about timing. You need to be able to use they keyboard & mouse in tandem. There is no way around that.

Build up a small exploration army ASAP. Upgrades affect all units on the map instantly, so there is no reason to wait to move your army. Make your base a shortcut (Shift + F2-F4) so you can quickly go back and upgrade as you get resources.

I don't particularly care for either, but I've at least been interested in some of James Cameron's work. Nothing I would put within a top 50 or so, but I've seen some of his movies.

I don't know, probably something like Old 'Yeller.

I don't play games for the story; it is secondary to the gameplay. I usually skip all cutscenes, so I don't really have any examples I could give.

I'm guessing it means 'better humor than today'.

Hawkgirl, Starfire, Batwoman, April O'Neal, Bow, Josie, Mary Jane, Ariel, Little Orphan Annie, etc.

It's a standard trope at this point in time.

Red hair = person of color in new movie.

The grades really don't matter.

When you get your diploma, the same guy who got all C grades gets the same diploma. No one ever looks at or asks for your grades.

Networking and learning on the job or getting a part-time job in the field while you finish school are WAY more important.

This entire headline is sus.

I didn't care for it.

I understand why some people do, but it wasn't some amazing movie that everyone made it out to be.

It has aged fine. No issues with it.

Always fight back.

The school may punish you, but if you fight back you are less likely to be targeted in the future. It's a long play.

These games are too new.

Real gamers can say they've played:

1. Space Invaders
2. Pac-Mac
3. Q-bert
4. Donkey Kong
5. Super Mario Brothers
6. Final Fantasy III
7. ActRaiser
8. Tekken
9. Street Fighter II (or it's Ultra/Turbo editions)
10. Super Mario World

This is a much better list.

FF pixel remasters.

With the OG names mod, NES rebalance mod, Classic monster formations mod and Font mod, FF1 is awesome.

Pizza hut is the same, we just got older and have had better things first.

Not true.

In the Midwest they still have some sit-down pizza huts. I went into one about 2-3 years ago and the pan pizza was exactly as I remembered it.

I came home and tried our local pizza hut takeout after-words and it was absolute garbage.

I can't think of anything for this year. The only memorable Movie or Show was the last season of Better Call Saul.

3 was pretty terrible.

1 and 2 are still excellent.

That is literally the definition.

"having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries."

About 1 year salary or so.

Do you think this would make the sport super popular in the USA.

No.

Probably my CNC machine.

Hard to say. Not many great games out at that time, so I'm guessing something from the NES/SNES era unless it was Plants vs Zombies, MInecraft, or MLB Power Pros.

Lmao no. My dad is a boomer and he's hopeless when it comes to tech. Zoomers can at least learn.

Zoomers are a generation of people who can't tech. They grew up with IPads & Android phones and most of them don't know how to operate a computer. If there isn't an app for it, they can't do the task.

Find (3) hobbies.

(1) is hopefully your job.
(2) should be the opposite of what you do for a living. For example, if you sit at a desk all day, find a hobby that is physical (like walking, jogging, swimming, etc.) If you spend all day doing construction work, consider something relaxing (like reading, video games, etc.)
(3) should be something creative. Art work, music, writing, painting, baking, etc.

The best thing to do is the long play; wait 6 months to text back.

No one in the USA cares about soccer.

Still a better value than 99.9% of modern games.

Biggest choke job ever no matter the outcome.

I only pay $4 for tickets right now, so sounds like a total loss.

Something about anti-grinding turned me off of it.
May pretend to care again when it's $20 physical.

This.

Levels are capped so all the fun was sucked out of the game. It isn't an overall level cap, but each section of the story is capped. For example, you can't go past level 8 or so in the first chapter.

Couldn't tell you what songs she sings.

Don't think I ever did.

EGM was far better

Not if you played Nintendo games.

I would never date a social media influencer, so they don't qualify as a datable person.

They're timeless for a reason.

This.

I'd much rather listen to the 50's crooners than, for example, Mariah Carey.

Who?
