| Topic | Velma is going to draw more people to the right. |
| gasgpmo 01/16/23 11:19:04 PM #22 | This thread is weird. I heard about this today, and it seemed like most of the complaints were from Indian viewers about Velma being a stereotype that Mindy Kaling frequently reinforces with her characters. |

At first, Capcom told them to like it, so they did. Then, after playing it, they realized the game is much easier and more braindead than real DMC, so they genuinely thought it was superior. |

| Topic | Hot take: 2 is the best dark soul |
| gasgpmo 01/16/23 8:33:15 PM #27 | DS2 seems like they just wanted to make a generic JRPG with none of the features that made Demon's Souls and DS1 stand out.
Still, it's better than <insert random RPG with terrible gameplay to serve as a low bar>. |

| Topic | What does western rpgs and jrpgs could learn from each others? |
| gasgpmo 01/16/23 1:40:00 PM #15 | JRPG's should have dialogue choices that actually result in different things happening, alternate ways of completing quests, and variety in builds so that: 1) Success isn't just determined by how high your level is, and 2) The game doesn't play exactly the same as the first time, if you ever want to play it again. WRPG's should be balanced much better, in the sense that you shouldn't be able to create overpowered builds that basically make the rest of the game a foregone conclusion. Western devs in general are not good at creating challenging games, and lean too hard in giving players absolute freedom, i.e. the freedom to do stupid things and succeed anyway. |
| Topic | D-pads and AA batteries are stupid and outdated |
| gasgpmo 01/16/23 1:28:41 PM #11 | Rechargeable AA's are more convenient. With four batteries, you can use two while the other two are charging. My PS4 controller, on the other hand, has to be plugged in half the time. |

| gasgpmo 01/12/23 1:22:47 PM #174 | Grocery stores are absolutely fine with throwing out hundreds of dollars a day in overstocked food items though. Just because they have reached their arbitrary "best before" dates. That's all fine. It's the shoplifting, though. The shoplifting is what's preventing them from hitting record profits. Oh wait, they are hitting record profits? Gee. |

| Topic | is "field work" a racist phrase? |
| gasgpmo 01/12/23 10:54:24 AM #31 | Seems like taking a benign term that never offended anyone in the past, and insisting it actually has racist connotations because of a tenuous-at-best connection to slavery, is more counter-productive than anything. Unless the goal is to both increase the number of things that can offend people, and keep racial division at the forefront of everyone's minds. |

| gasgpmo 01/08/23 12:43:54 PM #5 | I didn't finish AAI2, it basically killed my interest in the franchise. The game felt excruciatingly slow, and I really hated how the game would just tell you what to do in the form of a really obvious hint. Seemed to happen a lot. The game had no respect for the player's time or intelligence. |
