same insides, sorta

heard its the best looking/performing game on the switch

always mid enjoyed it

if the calvin and hobbes guy comes out as ultra racist that'll actually hurt me, but this? eh. sure. the racists can have dilbert i guess

in the postgame, you max out classes in like, 5-15 mins (unless they are noah's classes that aren't attacker. but its fine, he's not special)

yolo the msq

Persona 5 is ridiculously easy to max everything without a guide.

kinda agree, but there are also some multiple choice questions that REALLY want you to pick a certain option

akechi won't get his final persona unless you pick the right thing in the first 2 semesters iirc

i actually own 4 original gameboys that still work

screens are kinda scratched, but i kinda sorta inherited it from my grandma's side because well literally noone else cares about having four gameboys but me

i think we also have at least four copies of tetris. everything else we have one of. why tetris

https://twitter.com/voretecks/status/1625931323058552851 my favorite

the best soulsborne one with biden trump obama and bush was also great but i can't find it, there's been so many

only up to chapter 3 but good LORD this some good dogfightin. also why is every single track a banger

I used to follow guides but these days I just hack in more days with cheat engine because I'm a dirty little cheater and I just wanna not worry.

I think Persona games aren't quite as strict as, say, older Atelier games when it comes to 100%ing it, but one aspect you can never really neglect is bringing the correct Persona along for social links. It's insanely huge of a deal if you want to save days. It adds an extra point for every time your social link points go up (musical notes), which can end up up to doubling your point yield.

People should be free to do what they want and support the party they prefer if it's not infringing on the rights of others.

but the right to bodily autonomy IS a very important right for women, and restricting that is inherently infringing on women's rights

the "libs" you're talking about seek to deny neither option. the "decision" they're forcing on women is to let them have a choice

if you believe in the indiscriminate sanctity of life, that's great, you can put that opinion into action the next time you get pregnant

literally only you are trying to have that discussion

LITERALLY only you

noone else cares because we know you're a big ole softie for MAGA

you could like, go read any article on the matter in two or three minutes and have actual context, or you can continue to try to beat up the strawman you constructed yourself

the discussion isn't whether MAGA are fascists (they definitely are since the violent failed coup attempt, but that's besides the point), it's that the singer has been very loudly critical of them and absolutely fucking loathes them because most of his songs go against everything MAGA is proud of. and they KEEP using his songs

but you keep stumbling over the start line of this conversation because you're interpreting things as conveniently as possible while refusing to educate yourself on the subject at all. which funnily enough is right out of the MAGA playbook

I cannot think of a demographic who dislikes the act of fact checking more than MAGA

SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

So he criticized them for being against fascism? If you want express being against fascism that sounds like a good song to use.

he's accusing them of being fascists

go look up the tweet, it's got some spicy language that you can't post here

"Killing In The Name Of" by Rage Against the Machine was played at maga rallies too. Don't think it was anything officially decided by Trump's campaign staff, but it's still pretty hilarious. Tom Morello mocked the shit out of em for it

Which is why I've generally pointed out when people here on PotD complain about being surrounded by judgmental religious types, that they should probably consider moving the hell out of the Bible Belt (which is where most of the people complaining about it are from).

wish it was a viable financial option to just uproot every connection I have and go live somewhere else. hooray capitalism!

This is the comment specifically I'm talking about. This is a very judgemental comment.

you are giving money to a known bigot

do you dispute anything in that sentence?

Far-Queue posted...

Cute cartoon, but as long as you keep looking down your nose at people for using money in a capitalist society

i'm not though, you're taking a hardline approach to my view

i don't care if most people do buy the game or not, but if you specifically care about trans lives (I have a LOT of trans friends and I love all of them dearly), it's worth at least educating yourself on how JK Rowling views your every purchase

Far-Queue posted...

What I don't do is judge others for not doing more than I'm willing to do myself.

I judge you in a "this person cares less about trans people than me (who cares a lot)" way, not in a "this person wants trans people to die" way. you'll live from some rando on the internet's mild judgement dude.

Far-Queue posted...

Phones is just one aspect of consumer culture that is problematic. You would literally need to live in some luddite commune off the grid to escape contributing to capitalist suffering in some capacity.

And I don't expect you to. Or expect anyone else to. And I also don't judge anyone else for not sacrificing more than what I sacrifice myself.

I think the problem is that there's a misunderstanding on what we mean by "judge". Like if someone is loudly repeatedly coughing in public without making an attempt to cover their mouth I'm gonna judge them. That doesn't mean I'm equating them with slavery or some shit. It's a choice they made that I disagree with and wish they hadn't made and I'm disappointed but I'm not gonna stigmatize them or some shit over it. I will tell the coughing guy "bro thats gonna make us all sick" though

When I say something is unethical I don't mean you're the antichrist, we both have recognized society itself is both unethical and forces voluntarily or involuntarily unethical actions

You are under no obligation to actually answer your phone.

not legally obligated yeah, i meant more of a social obligation. today's always connected culture kinda sucks compared to twenty-ish years ago

Far-Queue posted...

What strikes me as particularly dubious is the high-horse judgmental attitude when your position is "I'm standing up for what I believe is right, until standing up for something inconveniences me" - that's literally bullshit

i've literally stopped buying phones for the past 10 years after learning more about it, and when my current one stops working I'll probably use hand-me-downs if there are no non-slavery options on the market

phones THEMSELVES inconvenience me i dont wanna fuckin be on call by everyone at all times

Kimbos_Egg posted...

thats what i mean though, because it sounds fucking awful when people make this argument.

i think bringing up slavery in the context of a video game is fuckin weird. you're excusing every lesser problem in society because something worse exists (that society is currently trying to solve or at least mitigate already)? that's a free pass to never care about anything

JK Rowling isn't as bad as child slavery, but she is still bad and maybe consider not giving her money

Kimbos_Egg posted...

You seriously think jk trolling on twitter is worse than literal slavery?

kimbo

do you

do you actually think that's what I believe

Far-Queue posted...

lmao this is such an odd stance "suffering happens no matter how you spend your money, and I'm not going to stop supporting this suffering, but I'm going to make a fuss over your supporting that suffering"

i'm currently using a cheap $20 phone given to me for free by at&t multiple years ago, i literally don't understand why you consider this a gotcha. you shouldn't go completely amoral because it's impossible to be completely moral under capitalism

Far-Queue posted...

This. I don't need a smartphone for my job

do you at least recognize the fact that the majority of first-world society does though

NemesisOgreKing posted...

The critically online are just taking what Rollings said out of context. That's ok, they need something to give their lives meaning.

she literally objects to the phrase "trans women are women" on a fundamental level. she gushed about how much she loved stephen king one day, then two days later when he tweeted those four words she deleted her tweet and blocked him

she's not some misunderstood enigma

Far-Queue posted...

It's whatever I just find it funny that ages acknowledges the suffering inherent in consumerism and is like "oh well gotta have a smartphone but shame on you for buying a video game" It's weird to me to be judgemental and preaching from the soapbox while actively participating in similar behavior

morality is a sliding scale and you should slide as far towards being moral as you can without ruining your own life. you're pretending this is binary

its fuckin culture war bullshit and people on both extremes have made this part of their personalities

i'm in the "hey there's some pretty big reasons why maybe you shouldn't buy the wizard game you should know about" camp

there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but there are ways to limit unethical consumption once the issue is known. hence why people are making it known

a single video game is a lot less required to participate as a functioning member of society than your smartphone. you should avoid drinking nestle bottled water if you have viable alternatives, but sometimes there are no other alternatives. there are always alternatives for video games

no piece of entertainment media is owed my dollar, especially if i'm uninterested in the game, extra especially if it means funding a terf

support bigotry all you want but "think of the poor game devs caught in the crossfire!" isn't really a compelling argument

Far-Queue posted...

I don't feel like the studio should be punished after all their hard work because Rowling is an asshole.

studio already got all their salary out of the project, JK Rowling will continue to get royalties out of it forever. you have it backwards

DirtBasedSoap posted...

Buying/not buying this game does next to nothing to her.

https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1580639051774054404

she's stated that royalties galvanize her beliefs

I'm uncomfortable talking about it here because I live in the deep South and everyone assumes you're a diehard Christian

better to usually not kick that hornet's nest

the CDC also told us to unmask during record-breaking infection rates so theyre maybe a little political

Not that I've noticed, but I've been careful and every time I've felt like shit I've worn a mask

FARMLlVERS RISE UP

I get 28 for car and 35 for bike if I just input my city... which is actually hilarious, not even what it considers the city center is fit for foot traffic

yeah, that's absolutely everyone's biggest beef with the game on a mechanical level

didn't affect me because I'm a lazy loser who rushes endgame and then does side content, but this game has an abhorrent amount of side content. even if you're not a completionist, it's easy to be overlevelled

let us consider Donald Duck and not just to dredge up the long-standing question of why he wears a shirt and no pants. The Donald Duck of today is irascible, but also buttoned-down enough to have a girlfriend, Daisy, with whom he shares nothing more than the occasional chaste kiss that sends him reeling. But there was once a time when Donald Duck was not only very popular, but also very single and occasionally, extremely and obviously horny
https://www.polygon.com/century-of-disney/23603428/donald-duck-horny-as-hell-three-caballeros-saludos-amigos

Though Daisy made a couple sporadic appearances in Donald Duck shorts dating back to 1940, she wasnt his girlfriend on the regular until the back half of the decade. There was a time when Donald was just a freewheeling duck in a sailor suit who went on shore leave down south. As Disney celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2023, it will also hit the 80th anniversary of one of its package animated features, Saludos Amigos. Both Saludos Amigos and its sibling film, The Three Caballeros from 1945, had more than just the cultural throughline of being focused on Latin America: They each explored what it was like for Donald to be a lusty duck drooling over feminine curves.

To be fair the upcoming DLC is probably gonna answer a bunch of questions that the base game left open, so I can see people still wanting to wait

but

its the bestest game ever pls play it asap...

winter, because all other seasons are torment in Louisiana

the national level just hasn't been adjusted in like a hundred years and prefectural levels can take precedence, afaik

this may be our...last chance....

Basically yeah; Skyblock is way more vanilla though since it's just a map (and it's possible to brick yourself if you plan poorly), whereas everything in Skyfactory can be created somehow. Skyfactory is like a modded Skyblock

you have to "grow" all materials in the game and you start on one block with one tree in an infinite sky

@ me when we doin the potd SkyFactory run

bitches (me) LOVE SkyFactory

rallies

it's awfully critical of an era that MAGA-ers considered "great". not sure if there's a more popular anti-nationalist song out there that people unironically prop up as nationalist. fucking reagan appropriated it as a patriotic anthem. REAGAN

(for those who don't know: the song is about how a vietnam veteran was utterly failed by the government after the vietnam war and how pointless the war was. but the chorus of "born in the USA" sounds patriotic, even though it's meant ironically)

The latest update is the final additional content the main game will get. The next bit is a standalone expansion with probably different mechanics than the main game, if 2's Torna or 1's Future Connected is any indicator.

It's probably gonna be about ten months before it's released. Succumb and play 3 pls

The general direction of wave 4 is pretty easy to guess from the trailer they recently released. Way more excited for this than I was for Torna, which I still haven't finished.

The new hero requires chapter 5 by the way so you won't be able to get her for a while (chapter 3 is required for the older DLC hero). Levels scale to 30/50/70 for gauntlet mode so you can definitely try that out before the end of the game. Pretty decent renewable source of rare stuff like gold nopon coins and those shards you find rarely in the overworld or from smashing NMs.

I've managed to get precisely halfway through hard pro gauntlet (the hardest tier lasting 140 stages) and it gets pretty challenging even doing pretty insane damage.

Xenoblade's third wave of DLC has been out for a few days now and gauntlet mode is surprisingly pretty great. It's really neat how an entire new meta has sprung up, heroes that are shit outside of gauntlet are suddenly very good inside of it (Riki&Manana being a big one). New class is a lot stronger than it seems, you can play it like a signifer with huge healing and crit buffs.

but who told them about RNG accessory crafting as an endgame grind
