It's one of the few rpgs that's a constant 8/10 throughout, with no weak points, and somehow comes out a 10/10

I literally jam my finger around in a circle on the inside of my left joyconns stick every day. It temporarily fixes the issue.

I don't know if nerdy is the right word, but my gut says collecting figurines is "worse"

They take up more space and have less percieved practical entertainment. That makes collecting more of an intentional life commitment.

Secondly, while there is the "comic store guy" stereotype, there is also the "creepy doll collector guy" stereotype, which i think bothers people more at this point

someone was talking to me about this recently- it's historically true in movies, books, etc. as well. at least in genres consumed by men

their take was that because, in a male-dominated medium, being similar to men is cooler (or easier to empathize with) than being similar to women. and in common society, masculine perspective is more defined by being into women than actually being physically male

this is a good topic, and i want to comment on the lack of toilet in 2, which i'm half assuming was just an oversight

if there's a toilet, i would pick 2 just because it's the only one that doesn't have any long-lasting health effects

4 is weird. step 1 is to define what 'falling in love' means. the stipulation might be very easy or basically impossible depending on which philosopher you talk to

i'm not sure of the permanent health effects of the constant loud sound and/or sleep deprivation. that one might have to be my last preference. "max volume" sounds pretty damn loud to me, but my ranking would depend on just how loud it was

1 depends on how stupid the killer is. if the killer decides to wait until i'm asleep it's just instant death. the stipulation about not provoking the killer is pretty lame. would challenging them to board games count as a provocation?

here's how i would rank them:

2 with toilet > 3 with livable volume > memory loss > killer > 3 with unbearable sounds > 2 shit cell

2 and 3 kind of suck for having no prizes, though. so i could see a scenario where my level of $$$ desperation could bump up memory loss or the killer

ACKshually, the premise for 1 doesn't list any penalty for non-lethal defense. if i'm allowed to tie/chain up the killer right off the bat (or the first time they sleep) i'd do that one for sure.

i didn't have any real history with anime, and i thought madoka was great.

Pretty sure I watched it dubbed a long time ago. My only complaint was that the sheer quantity and volume of over-the-top anime crying got to be a bit much in a few episodes

I feel a little bad for the creators, because I have to imagine the execution of the story is better than the text summary

I'm guessing you could make most heavy plot based games sound bad by selectively describing the plot or fast forwarding to the end

I think this game was already going to underperform, given the console exclusivity, and the ps5 being right around the corner. We will see what they take away from this

the last time i played competitively was last year, pre-rotation. back then it was primarily aggro, control, and midrange. a tiny bit of combo but it wasn't very good

after spending an hour in the competitive queues, i'm not liking the looks of this standard. so much combo! thank goodness for the casual matchmaking queue

What I think would be really neat is if we could set up an in house player draft, then use those decks in direct challenges or whatever they're called.

Whoops, deleted my post somehow. On a bad phone

How would this work? Use draft sim, then spend wild cards?

That's a good idea. Is there a way to do this in game? Or is this just draft sim, followed by individuals spending wild cards

Am I okay using a slightly worse version of a simic ramp deck I found online? Or is that too good?

We haven't come up with any rules (at least, I don't think). I haven't made a deck since ixalan rotated, but I'm considering making something now

Social agreements to not try *that* hard always leave someone feeling cheated. It's not fun to nerf your deck and lose to someone who didn't nerf their deck as effectively

It would be cool to see wizard's deck power estimates for the casual play queue, but that's never happening

it's actually the game that made me no longer trust video game reviews. i think gamespot gave it like an 87 or something

Lol Sun & Moon. What is the banner saga? At least some of the top 10 is ok

An excellent SRPG, that is beautifully handrawn, set in alternate viking world with interesting combat and some VN(ish) multiple choice storytelling that follows your choices and potential character deaths over a trilogy.

Highly recommend.

i agree 100%

it's very strong and has a (to me) unique setting and premise. it has some oregon trail sprinkled in there, too.

probably my favorite non-action RPG of the decade. persona 5 is its competition. i think the art style is absolutely great as well.

the combat was unique enough to tickle my brain for a while. by chapter 3 (oh yeah, it's a trilogy, you have to buy it in 3 parts) i was getting a little fatigued, but made it through.

$75 feels steep for the full experience. I'd wait for a discount of some kind, i think it periodically goes down to 30 or 10 per episode

i'm not a superfan of the series, but i've played all 5 numbered games. 5 felt objectively the best to me in terms of story and gameplay- driving, shooting, pretty much everything.

i loved the 3 characters mechanic. if you didn't connect with one, you could primarily play as the others. trevor felt a little 2edgy4me, but he was an honest rendition of the previous protagonists' sociopathic tendencies. 4 had a sort of compelling story, except whenever you started feeling for Niko he'd go and shoot everyone at the bank with no remorse

it's been a while ago. i don't remember the open world feeling empty, but maybe it was.

A lot of good games went down in round 2.

I consider Hollow Knight and DOOM (2016) to be mandatory experiences. They're as close to perfect as any game.

If you haven't already tried minecraft, I don't know how you managed that.

Bioshock infinite is a great cinematic experience overshadowed by the last of us, which came out in the same year. If it had come out the year prior or the year after it would have been goty for sure

Journey is beautiful, but maybe not meaty enough for some. A fantastic game to hand to a non gamer to get them used to 3d environments

Sekiro and meat boy are well made game's games, but honestly too difficult for those not already seasoned in the genre

Rocket league is an amazing competitive game to play. It might be overwhelming to start 5+ years after release, but its stimulation of physics and speed makes it as close to a real sport as video games have ever gotten.

Just used a couple of free draft tokens on ikoria.

I gotta say, I might be full "vorthos" or maybe "timmy" now, because all power level concerns aside, I'm enjoying the feel of this set a lot.

I am bored to tears by "return to X" sets, and something about eldraine didn't feel very interesting to me- I guess it was because it was almost too on the nose of fantasy stereotypes.
