Hey liberals, how does it feel to lose?

I can kind of understand why it isn't. The mere act of turning on a game is itself kind of an isekai-like experience in that you're immersing yourself in a fantasy world and all the shenanigans that come with it. That means having an explicit isekai step in the game feels kind of redundant and contrived because it usually just ends up being a non-gameplay prologue sequence. The FFT Advance games managed to incorporate gameplay to their prologues in the form of having a snowball fight that acted as a mechanical tutorial before being sucked into the actual game world, but that's about the extent of what you can actually do because the game's actual gameplay is going to depend on the setting of the other world and not the initial one (unless it's a walking simulator, in which case this stops being an issue). Even that just seemed kind of silly and contrived and there's no reason the game couldn't have simply started out in the actual game world and delivered a tutorial there.

Basically, if you're playing a game to be a fantasy hero fighting monsters and stuff, a prologue in which you are not a fantasy hero and cannot fight monsters and stuff until you travel to fantasy hero world is just an extra step before you get to the point. The whole "let's watch this character have adventures in a world where they're totally out of their element" aspect that makes isekai an interesting story genre doesn't translate well to games because the player character is as competent in the new setting as the player is and the player is already experiencing the concept of being dropped into a new world that they have to figure out.

The reason Isekai is good is is due to the primal desire inside every human being to breed an exotic foreign princess

The Isekai game genre should be more full than it is. Forspoken ain't it.

I dont even know what any of those are

You know how in Star Wars Han Solo had a stripe on his pants? Star Wars writers came up with a story behind the stripe.

The forms are like that, except they're meant to explain why there isn't really any consistency to how Jedi fight.

Im not even sure the forms are canon anymore.

But in legends it's probably Soresu because Obi-Wan was arguably the best saber duelist ever and it was the form actually designed to beat guns

72 years old. Wow.

If guns were illegal he could have just beaten those people to death im sure

Guys I started the 7th installment of the series and I am so lost! WHO ARE THESE CHARACTERS?! WHAT IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT? IF ONLY THERE WAS A WAY TO PLAY THE FIRST GAME FIRST! URGH!

Do you force your kid to play all Nintendo titles in chronological order or something lol

Your childhood favourites are just Easter eggs in new titles, sorry.

Even when I'm on Game fahkwahs I find myself coming here less and less. You guys are boring as shit even among the nerds.

A thousand year old dragon girl in the form of a child

This would reflect my wisdom, affinity for the supernatural and youthful innocence.

It has an interesting viewpoint that the Pharaohs were tyrannical rulers and their royal titles and monuments had the purpose of consolidating their power, which is probably true but it kinda shatters the romantic view of the powerful ancient kings of an ancient civilization.

Idk this kind of feels like a "no shit" take to me. I'm pretty sure that Moses guy wrote a book trashing the Pharaohs more than 50 years ago

Anyone seriously suggesting that is an idiot. That said, so's anyone who thinks infringing the rights of law abiding citizens in a desperate attempt to "do something" is a good idea. The guns are the tools, not the root cause and criminals don't give a single fuck if you declare them illegal. All you accomplish by doing that is creating a large black market and making all guns harder to track. Don't believe me, ask your local drug dealer exactly how much being illegal has hurt their business next time you go to buy some coke.

What you need to help things on the "tools" side of the equation is increased legal access with much more thorough screening and tighter training requirements. No more of this "constitutional carry" bullshit. As for the cultural side, we can start holding media more accountable for the shit they put out.

Only country where this regularly happens, etc etc

I assumed this would be about the Mueller report.

The classic idea of a liberal welfare state has failed, even more demonstrably than "trickle down economics" that the left like to rant about (which should be more accurately described as "climb up" economics as it rewards active participation). When we invest (or gamble) on the least successful aspects of society without oversight, it is throwing good money after bad.

There at least need to be more measures in place to ensure that when money is reallocated from worthwhile expenditures towards less assimilated parts of society, that the money will eventually flow through the community back to job creators and entrepreneurs, instead of getting burned on *checks notes* food.

I did not realize Blues Clues was still on, I figured the dog playing Blue would be dead by now

Ganondorf's canon motivation is that he was jealous and resentful of Hyrule's wind.

Isnt a dragon fire breathing lizard?

Dragon is kind of a broad term for a lot of different fantastical animals from different cultures. Most dragons are originally more inspired by snakes, and then combined with aspects of other animals (lions, bats) or magic.

I've never been able to figure out what's in her hair. From her sprite I thought it was earmuffs or headphones.

I think it's supposed to be ribbons/bows.

And wow, we're currently dead even. Schrodinger's titties.

Flat Cynthia is making a comeback, can she make it over those humps?

If I haven't called you by a slur yet don't pretend you have haters.

Yea

If a man can't pretend to be his ex wife as a means to express misogynistic views, then what masculine activities even remain in this soy infested hell hole?

Isnt the actor Chris Hemsworth's brother or something

Morbius.

Glass Onion or maybe Turning Red.

Not if I die at 33

This is definitely one of those things the Founding Fathers did not consider when creating the Bill of Rights.

The feets are probably the least arousing body part, with mouths being a close second.

But seriously I want Emma Watson in Carbonite on my wall.

All women are beautiful.

Don't worry, eventually we'll all live in Amazon factory towns and delivery will be very convenient.

It's insane that teachers are expected to deal with this on their own. Their needs to be a coordinated effort to keep small children out of classrooms. It's obviously unsafe.

I mean, PO at least comes at it, at least by my reading, like this:

'yes, there was a potential ethics issue to grapple with, however, some making criticisms were not doing so entirely in good faith' or something like that. I'm just interpreting it more favourably towards my conclusions tho lmfao.

I still think the subsequent reaction (harassment) to some less necessary critiques was a worse reaction that only served to prove a point.

Implying that the criticisms of "ethics in gaming journalism" were in good faith would be the smooth brain take of the year

It's not a competition?

Good thing, if it was you'd get fucking destroyed by my boy Nade.

The Harry Potter portion is smaller than in Florida. IIRC Florida has a Hogsmeade/Hogwarts section, Diagon Alley section and a train ride. Hollywood just has Hogsmeade with Diagon Alley stores in it to break immersion. I'm not sure if the Gringotta ride is present at all (I know the Hogwarts ride is present at both).

It's only about 50% as effective at trans erasure.

They have Mario gift shops and a Mario drink stand already.

You can get popcorn in a super star container that lights up.

I was literally there a week ago.

How does it feel to be beaten to your own dreams like a fucking clown.

And, as usual, nobody cares about Gen X enough to even bother putting us on the slide. :)

Every gen x I've ever met is just a poor boomer or a rich millenial, they don't have their own stereotypes to conform to

I had one recently, I didn't find the prep to be that much of a problem.

I needed to shit every hour or so for a few hours, but still had good control over my bowel movements. Was surprisingly easy to resist the temptation to stuff my face.

It's weird that they make you do the prep in the evening? They just told me to start 48 and 24 hours before so I started around noon each day.

Sounds like a gambling problem

Good luck enjoying the game when you have to sell your left nut

Do your dishes leave brown marks wherever you place them?

I eat in the shower so I guess? The shower is always brown.

Hard_Light posted...

...dish soap does, in fact, disinfect

but yes, you're extremely gross if you're just washing with water

you are not getting any oils or grease off of anything, you are only smearing it around

I put my dishes at the bottom of the shower and let the soap falling off my body clean them.
